Okay, first custom in the realm. Here goes . . .

Backstory:
Long ago, in a distant past, a great machine was engineered and deployed by the Egyptians to end disputes among warring empires and civilizations. The ancient metals were forged and enchanted by the Gods of Egypt themselves. This powerful machine, armed with a mystical blade, was manned only by the finest warrior as it imitated its pilot's actions. Passed from one empire to another, this relic was used by Alexander the Great of Macedonia and Julius Caesar of Rome to aid their conquests. Its power was so immense that it tempted the rulers to use it to fuel their selfish and greedy pursuits. Cleopatra, fearing the abuse of the sacred machine that was constructed on the sands of her own civilization, finally obtained it and hid it away in a well hidden pyramid under the sands of Egypt. There, in its tomb, it remained undisturbed and untouched for the millennia to come. It was just recently that scientists and archaeologists unearthed the ancient machine. Will it be the answer to current world problems? Or will history repeat itself?

Recipe/Design/Construction:
I built this bad boy back in 7th grade, I believe. I'm a high school junior right now, so you can tell that it's been a while. I used only Lego Bionicle pieces. I'm not really sure how I got all of the pieces to work together since its torso design is more complex than anything else that I've ever done. Paint was not really required since the colors worked well together. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with it.

Specs:
Height - 12.00 inches
Wingspan - 15.00 inches
Points of Articulation - 21 (4 in each arm, 4 in each leg, 5 in the neck and head)
Total Pieces - ~200
