Commander Fauntleroy Cendle

Hopefully this means I am back on track for this...

NAME:Commander Fauntleroy Cendle 
NICKNAME: Face
AGE:36
CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: GAMMA CENTAURI
BACKGROUND: Fauntleroy, or Face as people call him, was born on Blacron, to a unremarkable family. He joined the Acadamy at the age of 23, having spent most of his undecided in what to do with it. He became a fighter pilot, but was also a very good mechanic. Spending most of his career driving ground vehicles, he proved himself a capable commander, but has yet been offered a promotion. He just recently has been assigned to the Gamma Centauri as First officer.
BEHIND THE SCENES:His name originates form his 'beat up face', and also a reference to a Star Wars character. The face was found by my sister in a recycling centre, and in my early Blacktron 2 years, I was looking for different faces to give all those 'smiling clones' different personalities.
ACQUIRED: Bricklink 2004, Random fig

Dark Ages mean nothing

Especially if the result is an epic base such as this

Adadk's Blacktron I base is full of goodies, such as no less then three Renegades, and various other Blacktron I sets, to monorail. What else can one ask for?

Captain Vince Kragg

Almost forgot I was doing this. Moving and weddings and Comic Expos and crappy computers will do that I guess.

NAME:Captain Vince Kragg 
NICKNAME: N/A
AGE:42
CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: UNKNOWN
BACKGROUND: Vince Cragg was born a farmer, and entered the BMA at age 21 to get away from his three younger siblings, who are all still happily farming. After a chemical accident during his 4th year, he had to hospitalized and his right arm, leg, and face had to be replaced with mechanical implants. He then completed his final year of the academy, graduated as a pilot, and served with great distinction in the Fifth Space Police War. During the 3rd year of the War, he and a select group were assigned as a special group known as the Blacktron 3. this group were handed the toughest missions, and Kragg was promoted to captain after his first mission, He is currently on assignment and no more information can be given at this time.
BEHIND THE SCENES: I was most overjoyed at this fig when I first saw Series 3. More Blacktron!?! SWEET!! I impatiently waited for them to hit the stores, and when they did, I picked up a few right away. Though I had to order a few jetpacks/air tanks, cause the fig just looked silly without it.
ACQUIRED:Series 3 Collectable Minifigs, 2011

Do not cross paths with this bot

Agent WHO has built this tiny little bot that combines two of the most dangerous things in the Universe: Blacktrons and Ninjas

Better a cliche then nothing, eh?

I can't beleive I never got around to blogging this before. (Okay, with my old computer completely breaking down and being in the middle of getting ready to move, maybe I can believe it) Anyways, thanks to Spacebricks for pointing this out (again) and cheers to Halfbeak for builing such a nifty little thing.

X marks the spot

This niftly little micro ship has been floating around for a bit now, but better late then never, right? Built by nate-decastro of Flickr, this little thing was actually based on a ship built by Pasukaru. No offense, but the Blacktorn 1 will win anyday.

Some things just work

Like the canopy/windsceen that Med Photoblog used in this very nifty Blacktron II mech

Very menacing. Very good. And sorry for the lack of updates, life has been busy, and computer has been crappy. And It seems I missed the anniversary of this blog on April 21st

Another smiling Captain

Yeah, I know, he looks exactly like three of the previous Captains, but it's the backstory that counts, right? Okay, okay I promise a fig who isn't a stock Blacktron II next time. (partly cause my last captain fig isn't a Blacktron II anyways...)

NAME:Captain Sidney Freestyle 
NICKNAME: Crakside 
AGE:39
CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: ALPHA CENTAURI CLASS fighter 
BACKGROUND: Sidney Freestyle grew up in one of the roughest parts of the Blacktron's First Moon Colony, hence he was tougher, stronger, and smarter then the average person, but still about average height. His father raised him, as his mother was an academic, and spent most her time on the Blacktron homeworld of Blacron. He joined the BMA at age 17, and completed the 5 year course in 4 years, with many a brawl thrown in. Passed with flying colours as a Security officer, but after 6 years of service and 2 promotions, he switched to being a fighter pilot. A Lieutenant-Commander as a pilot, he quickly rose in the ranks until he became a captain, and even though he is almost 40, he is still one of the best pilots, hence why he hasn't been assigned a proper command.
BEHIND THE SCENES: Crakside is my only Blacktron to have a cracked torso, hence the name. I find it very interesting to find that with 30+ Blacktron II torsos, only one is cracked. Many older (and some newer) torsos that I have one or two of have cracked. Also the last name 'Freestyle' derives from, you guessed it, the old Freestyle line, which had many a fig with that classic smile, and well, that is all I know. I should ask my older brothers about the fleshed out backstory, for they are the ones to come up with it, not me.
ACQUIRED: Alpha Centauri Outpost, VIA Bricklink, circa 2005

蜉蝣 KAGERÔ

Hmmm, I am running out of witty things for the title. Or maybe it's just because I am sick. either way, this Blacktron I ship (of which we haven't had to many of lately) is very much worth posting.

Built by Shamisenfred, this Blacktron I ship is not only very swooshable looking (albeit a bit fragile) but it also has a great little backstory. Check it out here

Star Rider 2

This may look familier to some, for this is the second ship to be called the Star Rider, and both had the same basic design, with many thigns being taken form various Blacktron 2 Sets. The timing of this build (by me, if you didn't get that already...) is very ironic, for just recently, I found that my original Star Rider had been blogged. I had never come across this blog before, but it still gave me a fuzzy feeling inside to see my creation on someone else's blog.

Anyways, the few other pictures of this can be seen here.

Captain Jerome Fresten

Tired of Blacktron II figs yet? Possibly, so I'll change it up this time.

NAME: Captain Jerome Fresten

NICKNAME: N/A
AGE: 36
CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: CLASSIFIED
BACKGROUND: Jerome Fresten was born and raised in the capital city of the Blacktron 1 homeworld. He is one of two children, and comes froma  family that has served the Blacktron I for three generations. His younger brother died in an accident when Jerome was just entering the Blacktron I Armed Forces Institute at the age of 17. He sped through the 4 year course, came out with top grades, and served diligently aboard a Renegade Class ship all the way up to his promotion as Captain at the age of 27. He captained a ship for one year before he was wisked away to a secret mission that undoubtably involves Space Police.
BEHIND THE SCENES: My first Blacktron I, he kind of automatically made captain right away so I made his back story to kind of fit that. I still have to practically shoot my younger sibling down whenever I bring him or either of my other Blacktron I's in the presence of one of my younger silbings, for he is very stubborn in the fact that he believes he should be the only one to have Blacktron I's in my family. he'll just have to get over that fact that I love ALL Blacktron's not just the II's (Though I do admit it is mainly focused on those guys)
ACQUIRED:  Bricklink, year rather abigous

SLAM it down!

If I recall things correctly, building SLAMs (Which I assume stood for something) was a fad from a  few years ago, but Captain Redstorm, a regular builder of Blacktron, has resurected this fad, with this exellent little Blacktron II ship. Those massive guns on the sige are such a Blacktron thing, and I really love the little arrows on them.

More pictures here.

Double feature!

Since I missed lsst weeks Bio, I'll do a double feature today. (Also these two go hand in hand, anyways)

NAMES: Captain Homer Frestle, Captain Bernard Frestle

NICKNAME:Hollowhead, Bigboy 

AGE:35, 33
CURRENT ASSIGNMENT: Aerial Intruder class Fighter Fighter
BACKGROUND: Homer and Bernard, brothers, joined at BMA at the age of 19 and 18 respectively, and both had high grades. Homer graduated as a Pilot, and Bernard as a security officer. Homer made captain at the age of 29, but Bernard only recently made the rank at the age of 32. both served on Aerial Intruders, and that is where the currently are serving, both commanding a whole squadron.

BEHIND THE SCENES: Not much to say about these two, other then they came in my first Blacktron set that I acquired. Also, the nick names come from that fact that one didn't have a solid stud type head, which meant I could tell him apart form my other Blacktron figs. (At the time, most all had that smiley face) and the other stemmed from the whole big suit that he had.

ACQUIRED: 6981 Aerial Intruder, via Bricklink 2005

So many angles.....

A new Blacktron II spaceship has surfaced on Flickr, and I had to blog it right away. Shown here is the CE-1 Cyborg Express, built by Vid Legradic. A beautiful ship that has a lot more angles then I could ever do, which I think has something to do with the reason I hear Wraith Hive Ship sounding noises when I look at this.

Alpha Centauri

As alluded to in my last post, I linked to as a yet unposted Spaceship.

I am now rectifying that.

The Alpha Centauri is a ship I built that was based on my second Blacktron ship I built (Which in turn was based on the ship in 6988). Yeah, this one is a vast improvement in every aspect. It has engines, no baseplates, less white, less baseplates, a much better interior layout (But still not perfect) Did I mention no baseplates?

Anyways, enough talking more pictures here.
