This MOC by Ecclesiastes is a bit of an unpack. The quick description is “this is an Assassins Creed tower on top of a giant snail” but without any setup or background that’s just sort of a…huh? Actually, I love that feeling, and especially love making other people feel it, so we’re going to leave it right there, enjoy.
This thing better pack a punch in the weapons department, because it's not going to surprise an enemy with a speedy attack. It's a snail mech, from builder ToyForce 120. I like to imagine a battle where a whole slew of mechanical species engage, and while the battle rages these guys slowly make their way in. And just when it seems the battle is lost, quite some time later, these guys creep in and save the day in some unexpected way. Slow and steady wins the war.
This MOC is overflowing with whimsy. It depicts Teeny Weeny and his racing snail on a mission of mercy, delivering bandages to the plague victims of Avalonia. I have no idea what that means, but it's a wonderful little MOC. Builder Robuko has issued a challenge too: post a MOC of Kaliphlinites providing Avalonians with bandages by May 1st. Yeah, I don't know what that means either.
