The Glyos Connection

It's been hot out here. Really hot. And heat is one of the things about summer that a lot of us could do without. However, heat does make it easier to build things out of these delightful pieces of PVC and vinyl we have, so it's high time we had another contest.

The Contest:

Post a build along the theme of "heatwave," and you'll be entered to win! Got a good desert-themed build? What about a Glyaxian firefighting robot idea? A flaming-hot Glyan using our new red and orange parts? Or maybe a souped-up Exile MC that looks like it just dropped its mixtape? The only limit is your imagination!

The Rules:

Post a pic of your build in this thread, and congrats! You're entered into the drawing!

The winner will be chosen at random using RANDOM.org's Sequence Generator. Each user will be assigned a number based on the order of their submission (e.g. the first entry will be "1," the second entry will be "2," etc.), which will then be used for the Sequence Generator. As with the contest back in January, I'll keep updating the entrant list (with corresponding numbers) in a section below.

The cut-off for entries will be August 16 August 19, so this will be a quickie contest! The winner will be announced in-thread and in the Mini-Chat at 9:00 pm Eastern on August 20, and PM'ed for a mailing address for the prize, which should go out shortly afterward!

The Prizes:

Prize #1: Proto-Sincroid Trio: Standard Noboto, Standard Protoclone / Deniken, Double Standard Gobon



Prize #2: Crayboth Horde: Assorted Crayboth



Prize #3: Phaseon Contained Build: "The Hiver Phaseon"

Of course I don't own a single figure in Sunstorm

I'll see what I can do, I think this'll be fun!

(sorry for the consecutive post, but I finished my entry)

The Glyaxian Heat Containment Suit







In order to travel the surface of some planets directly facing the sun of their solar system, Glyaxia developed a suit designed specifically to rapidly cool down the body inside and reflect sunlight off the suit using a bright metallic compound. Using this, a standard Glyan or other humanoid Glyos species can go through extreme heat without absorbing much sunlight and cooling down the excess heat within the suit. In case of emergency, the suit is also equipped with a cannon filled with a freezing chemical, if needed.

Mine is forthcoming. Painted customs with sculpted details are acceptable right?

Also WTGTIV's should win by default for pure cuteness.

That fire hydrant is amazing. I didn't even realize it was made with Glyos bits for a few seconds.

Thanks guys, glad you like it! To be fair, my stepson put the hydrant together, I just added the water.

Super Mushi poses for a quick picture with a fan before taking on the mighty "It's 103 degrees out here, can we please go inside now?" Robot of Doom.

It's hot! I need a golden shower.

Maybe this contest should be renamed Summer Heatwave/Sophomoric Humor: Why Can't You Guys Be Serious Giveaway.

Spud the flamethrower drone

Edit: Made some changes to his weapon to make it a bit more flamethrowery

Heres a Banigoth battle suit; Heat Blister

Wow, folks! These are some awesome entries!

In honor of the intense heat we've gotten in the city, and in hopes that more creativity will survive the temperatures, I've extended the deadline for this Friday, August 19. If you've been on the fence about this one, now might be a perfect time to jump in, especially as you never know what can happen during these dog days of summer...

Nothing clever, just Knights of the Slice Orange with some Sunstorm to make him hotter.

Well it being so hot outside, you know my man Mushi will be keepin' it cool in his Purple speedo w/ matching boots & wrist guards.




And what better way to show off that killer bod, then by playing a little Oozarian Volley Ball with his battle tribe bro's!

Kabuto Mushi is looking Juiced!

Some more killer entries, guys! Keep up the building!

Also, here's an offering from my better half, depicting a scene on the sunnier, beachier side of things:



Two days left to submit!

And with nine submissions, entries into the contest are closed! We'll go down the list of winners in both the Mini-Chat and on the thread Sunday night at 9:00 pm, so stay tuned to see if you're one of the lucky contestants!

EDIT: Sorry everyone, but due to a medical issue, I could not do the drawing tonight. Please bear with me, as we'll try the drawing again tomorrow night!

No worries. Hope all is well. Good luck to all participants.

While waiting for the results to come in I had fun playing with left over Metallic Teal Onell parts and built this Skeledrone.



The profile kinda reminds me of a Predator.

Man, I hope Kranix is okay.

Yeah me too. Screw the contest, I'm more concerned over another Glyoser's well being.

Sorry for the delay again! Rather than further the delay, here's our list of winners!

Prize #2, the Crayboth Horde, will be awarded to . . . Toyetic!

Good to have you back Kranix, congrats to you winners. And thanks again for doing these giveaways!!! It's fun to participate and got me building again!
