This is an enlargement of that image. What do you notice?

Here I point out some things of interest in a VERY LARGE enlargement.

Here I point out even more stuff. Mainly on vehicles, specifically the crawler. (Please ignore my typos, I was tired when I made it. And tired right at this moment...)

image 8: (unknown comic? cancelled comic? May be on the back of an instruction booklet of a set.)

Spoiler

Notice the similarity with the slug and the lava flow and the small digger fallout out of a cave and those two rr's being rescued by a tunnel transport cut-scene?

Image 9: (The site said it has something to do with an rr comic)

Spoiler

Yes, I know some have been posted already.

I am just grouping them together in one topic.

If anyone else has similar things, please submit it.

Interesting stuff.

#8 was probably in the back of a instruction booklet. You know. "other stuff you can make after the original model falls onto the floor and smashes into a million pieces".

[Lair]

I have the book in picture #9. And the other 2.

I also have a LRR add that came with some set that shows all RRs looking like Jet. I'll upload it sometime.

And all the interface from those images is still there BTW.

[Addictgamer]

1. Cool.

2. Upload soon please.

3. I know.

[Addictgamer]

Updated the first post slightly.

Still waiting to upload the very enlarged image...Hope it doesn't time out.

EDIT: Ya...It timed out.

I'll just upload it as a file, and let everyone who wants to view it download it.

That crawling vehicle has always made me wonder what it was for...

[Addictgamer]

I prefer the color theme that they used in the old vehicle designs...If they added some green too that is...

Otherwise, same here Cyrem.

It is highly likely that it is a mobile hq.

From what I can see, it is collecting ore in the picture.

Not sure if you noticed, but...Nvm, I'll just upload it and point out what I want to show.

Wait, I'll type it here first.

Do you see that thing on top of that crawler where the ore is? If you look carefully, it seems to be some kind of conveyor belt that the ore is rolling down, as if it is going to be processed in that other crawler that is attached to the bigger one.

In fact, that is probably what it was for.

This whole crawler thing may even have had the ability to clear rubble.

Hmm, #8 seems to be in the MIDDLE of an instruction book (OK, a page spread), because of the strange seam down the middle and the sort of curve the graphic has.

[Addictgamer]

It seems you are correct.

I didn't notice it until you pointed that out.

[Leumeister]

you mean all RRs look like ? wierd

[jj88]

I love the look of the crawler vehicle and the extra large chrome crusher. Would have been pretty cool to have a moving mobile ore refinery. Thanks for uploading these.

[Addictgamer]

No, only in game they do.

All the devs needed to do was to create an array of textures and a random number function.

With these, they would be able to randomly choose the texture of the Rock Raider when it was teleported down.

It would make the game more interesting, even though this is such a simple modification.

Those would have been great.

I actually just grabbed images I found around the forums and off the internet.

Of course, I edited some of them to point out things, and uploaded them then...But...That's something else.

[TheEPICtrainrider]

The lightbuld confirms my theory. Lego used to put these things at the end of the instruction booklet. They were so kids had something to do when they THREW IT ON THE GROUND!

[Cirevam]

Those inspirational models were awesome because they're NOT PART OF YOUR (Lego's) SYSTEM!

MAN.

[Addictgamer]

I want to model the "rock scorpion". You can see 2 of them in th epic. One in that cave in the background, and the other is attacking the cool chrome crusher.

What do you guys think?

[Argiflex]

I think that if we got these sets, and we looked at the concept drawings of what they released, then we would think that the sets that were actually released (but seemed to be concept drawings to us) would be the cool ones.

[Amauros]

Lol at #8. That's just awesome LEGO(kid) logic. Maybe something like that can be added to ORR?

Vehicles require various amounts of different materials. If a large vehicle (say the chrome crusher for e.g.) crashes, it disassembles (rather than being destroyed, takes different conditions for a vehicle to be destroyed) and RR's can reassemble the scattered pieces into either the same vehicle or into 2 or more smaller vehicles.

[Addictgamer]

Nice. Why not add that to your idea topic(s) for ORR?

[Amauros]

Do I have one of those yet? lol

[TheDoctor]

*looks at picture 7*

*widens eyes*

I see what they did there. Look at the small transport truck. It's wheels are gone. Actually no. The wheels ARE there, but they're those triangles. Thats what the wheels look like without the texture applied.

[Addictgamer]

You have several.

Just make a new one titled "Materials thingy" or something like that.
