A new version of the Droideka by Omar Ovalle

Echoing the version offered these days by TrueDimensions and partly composed of Bionicle pieces, Omar Ovalle offers its version System of this Droid Destroyer. Obviously, the overall shape suffers from the use of classic parts and this Destroyer Droid gets a little clumsy. Omar Ovalle has retained a certain modularity with the ability to partially withdraw into himself.

I am not really convinced by this version which remains very scholarly and which does not pay homage to the real Droideka, but it will at least have the merit of showing that we can recreate this machine very simply and using classic parts . We can therefore consider this MOC as strictly respecting the concept System from the LEGO range.

Let's not forget thatOmar Ovalle is above all a designer and that his work is part of a global creative process in the LEGO universe. His work also includes the highlighting of his creations visually with the design of the boxes, some of which are really very successful, and the staging of his achievements by placing them in a fictional context of the Star Wars universe that it describes under each creation. 

You can discover his three series of LEGO-themed creations on these dedicated flickr galleries:
