(Turn up the volume really high)
Winner entry of Bionicle Display's Phobos Contest...
About this creation
Well, for this contest, I've got Ligyrophobia/Phonophobia... Wich is the fear of loud noises... It means also the fear of voices, or even of one's own voice. For this, I built a titan: Ligyros.
Ligyros is a cursed being, member of the God Phobo's army. He has a giant speaker(yeah, he's sort of modern) permanently chained to his back. It plays a disturbing, really loud sound from about five to five minutes, and can't be controlled by him...
The real curse is that Ligyros himself is very sensitive to loud sounds, being a ligyrophobic himself, so he keeps his small arms covering his ears all the time... Removing them only when the speaker is silent.
He is also the worst horror of all ligyrophobics... Imagine a scary and giant creature like him approaching with a head-blowing loud sound coming out of giant speakers on his back? And imagine what a ligyrophobic may think when he figure out he can grow giang blades from his hands... Even I would be scared to death...
The inspiration of him came from the titan Kronos, as he appears in the game God of War, with a giant temple chained to his back. So, I tough a giant speaker would be a nice idea... Originally, he would walk on his four, but he ended up looking cooler this way...
Seen from below, with ears uncovered...
I am personally really proud of this MOC, and I think it's one of the best builds I made so far, if not the best...
Angry pose
The hands... I really liked this design, and will probably be using it in MOCs to come...
The head... I was going to make a big mouth for him, but two problems came out...First: I was becoming out of pieces... And second: Since he is a ligyrophobic himself, it wouldn't make much sense if he kept screaming all the time...
Leg details... Poblably the part that took me more time... I took about two weeks building this MOC (each day a small part, since I'm busy with college), and this last week was spent only in the legs...
When building this, I tried to make this MOC the closest to the theme as possible.. To make it transmit the idea by itself, not just making a titan and saying that he's related to ligyrophobia in the description... So I really put some tough in it's design...
Now, just some more details and random pictures...
KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!
And that's all folks! Hope you enjoyed it!

You have achieved a fascinating look with interesting part choices. Very creative. BTW: I did answer your question about the Brazillian thing, and I hope you are not offended.
Thanks! And don't worry, I didn't get offended at all, I was just curious... But yes, there are some people here who get offended easely, indeed, like with that great Simpsons episode where they came here... but I think those people just don't have any sense of humor... |

That is a very interesting build, I love the hands (might borrow that design :D) and the head looks very beastial as well. Quite a sad story, his only fear is pretty much himself...great MOC. :)
Feel free to use it:).
This applies to everyone, just don't abuse...
And thanks for commenting, people! |

Alternate title: "Because everything's cooler with a gigantic set of speakers." Very nice bionicle/technic monster here. |

Excelente titan Johann,um de seus melhores!Gostei muito da ideia e do conceito por trás dele,e a música(que me faz nostalgicamente lembrar de Heath Ledger),combinou perfeitamente com o tema.Sabe,The Dark Knight é um de meus filmes favoritos.Já o assisti umas vinte vezes,adoro sua trilha sonora,que foi feita por Hans Zimmer(pra mim o melhor compositor de trilhas sonoras contemporâneo).Também adorei Inception,outro filme por Christopher Nolan e com uma trilha sonora ainda melhor do que a de TDK feita também por Hans Zimmer.É fantástico,também um dos meus filmes favoritos e na minha opinião um dos melhores da década.Já o assistiu?
Valeu, Dark Knight é pra mim o melhor filme de super herói já feito (Watchmen é demais tbm, mas não é bem de super herói).. Tenho em DVD tbm e assisto bastante... Inception vi umas 3 vezes, realmente fantástico... E eu sou um aficcionado por trilhas sonoras, e Hans Zimmer realmente é um gênio, sendo a melhor trilha dele, pra mim, a dos Piratas do Caribe(ele só fez os dois últimos, na verdade, mas ajudou no primeiro)... E ele fez O Rei Leão tbm, q acho até hj o melhor filme de animação de todos..._____

And Chris: He's about the size of a regular Lego titan... Including the head, he's about 35 to 40 centimeters... Thanks for commenting, BTW
