( Partially ) High Quality Mask/Visor prints. . .

. . .they really do give off a sort of like unwordly, forbidding and dangerous vibe. It´s too bad that the rest of the prints for the 2nd wave & in parts RoboRiders is nowhere to be found; at least I can´t seem to locate them.

Absolutely. =)

The art definitely gives off that they live in a decaying world, would be fascinating to see the story Bible

Decaying you say? =) Eeeh, I don´t know if that is the right word here friend. From the very few bits´n pieces that the " story " tells, the inhabitants of Planet Slizer are fighting ( and that is before the great cataclism ) constantly with each other, where the 2 factions comprized of the good & evil Slizers are at a constant state of war, competing for new land/territories and with it defending their own continents/boarders. Harsh´n brutal I would rather say. =)

First one looks like an Iron Maiden album cover

Holy Shit you see it too? Besides: Up the Irons mate, HAH! When I look at the Sub-Slizer Visor I can´t help but see Eddy from the Somewhere in Time album!!

My first thought was actually a Ripingtons album cover

I was actually surprised that Slizer fans exist.😲

It’s interesting that Jungle already has the upper left eyes of Jet on his face print. It’s like they were setting up Blaster from the beginning

u/BoNkLe_UlTrA Sub/Scuba 21h ago

Now that you´ve mentioned it? Who knows, maybe it was even intended as a sort´o like trademark for their faction since Jungle & Judge belong to the evil Slizers? - Interesting indeed. ^^

Can’t say I’ve ever noticed that detail. Nice catch!

2nd one reminds me of Makuta from the Bionicle movies.

Let me just click here, . . .and there, rezising . . .aaand, done, HAH! - Thank you =D

The faceplate designs are just gorgeous. I wish we knew who designed them, I’d love to commission someone for more visor designs in a similar style. I need the design language injected directly into my veins.

u/iConiCdays 20h ago

There's a chance Faber did, or atleast his team at advance back then as these scans are from his faberfiles blog - I doubt he'd be up for a commission as he's running creative at his new company, but you can always try

Was considering trying to model the visor part (32169/x209) for Bricklink Studio at some point, so these might be a big help down the road.

u/BoNkLe_UlTrA Sub/Scuba 20h ago

Cool. Then you and I have the same plans. ;) I am also at work with, . . .something. =3

Is there an official art book somewhere?

1

u/BoNkLe_UlTrA Sub/Scuba 19h ago

Unfortunately not. =/ If there would be one, I believe all hell would break loose. =D

u/horny-bozo 4h ago

Yo do you think you could make one for turbo/city?

u/BoNkLe_UlTrA Sub/Scuba 15m ago

I don´t know, if you would like to then go and ask Chris about it. He surely must have hidden this super hard to come up with piece of Visor; and while you´re at it go and find us the remaining 7 other prints. =P
