Took some photo time to cover a few other MOCs I've got on the shelves since I'm cluttering up the thread anyway.
Iron Monger:

A fair way off-model but I'm pretty happy regardless, I wanted him to be smaller than the Hulkbuster style mechs Lego does and I think the poseability turned out pretty well. Didn't really capture the rounded look of a lot of the suit (and of course I'm cheating by not having the helmet, lucky there was that bit where he opened it up) but I like the pistons on the limbs, and the centre piece of his ARC reactor glows in the dark so that's cool. I did a Whiplash as well just to get caught up to where Lego started doing their own sets, but he's just a minifig version of the Monaco suit so just orange pants and a chestplate over a bare torso, nothing fancy.
Batboat:

Okay remember the set with Killer Croc and Captain Boomerang that had that awful Crocmobile and pretty dumb-looking Bat Tank? I just wanted the minifigs really but I made myself feel better by throwing this together out of the parts. This was before the Lego Batman Movie so I didn't already have a Batboat, and I had the stealth boat from the Street Fighter movie in the back of my mind, because I love bad movies.
Droid World:

I gather it was in a comic as well but I remember it from one of those read-along-with-the-cassette books where R2 bleeps to let you know to turn the page. Quite moving for something aimed at five year olds or whatever. Kligson's had a racelift since I wanted to use the bare head rather than slapping Cyborg's helmet piece on another head, so it's have that smooth look - I really should get a smoother looking torso one of these days but I don't want to sacrifice a silver protocol droid so this is a make-do for now. The red helmet from the Sith Whatevertrooper was good enough that I was willing to give up my red protocol droid to make a proper ZX-3 though, and I feel like the Imperial Warbot turned out okay.
And this one I'm particularly proud of, although for some reason I never thought up a name for it, so it's just 'the truck':

Made mainly from parts of the larger Ultra Agents sets, since they were pretty cool but I still had the original Agents sets which were bigger and ultimately I kind of liked them being less crazy-hi-tech in their looks - so I had all the parts for a big sci-fi truck lying around, and at the time I'd been watching Burst Angel featuring a big sci-fi truck, I think you can see where this is going. The crew are therefore expies of the Burst Angel cast: Lady Ky (driver and leader), Cray (eccentric tech geek), Sasha (taciturn ninja), Bella (excitable heavy weapons gal) - I ended up doing a full interior, with workspaces and accommodations for each of them, and an underfloor bay containing Sasha's tron bike which she's named Hanzo, instead of a mecha (plus Bella's got her airbike Skygunner built into the top of the truck, which is basically a laser gattling gun with wings, she's a firm believer in quantity of firepower having a quality of its own):

Then I ended up folding an unrelated build I was doing at the same time into the same headcanon (because Lego's just mechanical thinking, the storytelling side of my brain wanders in the meantime) - so this is the Javelin:

custom built by Miss Elaine on the left, and driven by Skylar on the right, together they're kind of the Lady Penelope to the truck team.
