Armothe's Blacktron Warriors Sport Battle Rifles

Armothe of BrickForge has been showing off his design for a Blacktron 3 Domewalker. Although a great design, and a great time to bring back Blacktron by the way, the Battle Rifle held by the soldier caught most people's attention.

Based on the Battle Rifles from the game Halo, this would be a first for BrickForge. I believe there was a similar Battle Rifle design by BrickArms in the 2010 Sci-Fi Battle Packs; however, they are all sold out!

Here's to hoping The Forge will be putting out more of these puppies soon...

Blacktron Strikes Back

This custom Blacktron sky trooper from eclipseGrafx Is a great use of custom parts and a re-painted Buzz Lightyear pack.

When I saw this it reignited my hope that the current Space Police III theme will morph into a new look at the Blacktron line. Why? Well, two of the aliens that debuted from those sets earlier this year appeared to have ties back to Blacktron, Rench and Squidtron. Although Space Police has always contained little nods to the past, I thought these might bridge the end of SPIII to the start of the new Space line. One can always hope...
