Minifig upgrade

Best thing to come out of the Brickhead theme was the sticker sheet from the Go Brick Me set, for the simple reason that there was a Blacktron 2 logo on the sheet.

My brother recently modified a torso (The female tennis player from one of the early Collectible Minfigs) and put the sticker from the GoBrickMe set onto it.
Can't even tell it's a sticker, eh?

After he did this, I had to get one of my own. And after fiddling around a bit, I found a great torso and pants to make an upgraded look for the Blacktron

The torso is a backwards First Order Snowtrooper, I believe
I of course, won't be converting my entire collection to look like this. After all, I do have over 90 of those torsos. I could just have all them lying around unused.

Beautiful angels, eh

I've featured Spacerunner here a few times before, but I couldn't possibly resist posting his latest, titled the Angulus. It feels a bit reminiscent of 6981 Aerial Intruder, with a central section and two pods on the side and widely spaced engines.

A very unique ship, and top notch presentation. Love the use of the 10x10 dishes.

Annihilator

It's been awhile since I posted one of my own MOCs, but I am proud to show off my latest Blacktron 1 SHIP. Yes, you heard me. Blacktron ONE! I know, I know, I'm much more of a 2nd Gen Blacktron builder, but sometimes you just got to build a big ol, nasty ol, Blacktron one SHIP.

This is far and away my best Blacktron 1 MOC, maybe even my best Blacktron MOC period.

The inspiration for this ship, in case it wasn't obvious was the Renegade, and a Klingon D9 Battle cruiser. I feel the two designs really went well together in this MOC.

We want a lot of disintigrations

Doing a google search for Blacktron logos, and I come across this recolored and slightly modified UCS Slave 1 in Blacktron 2 colours by Reddit user Alg3braic

All I can say, is I can't believe I never thought about doing this myself.
