This is Cutting Edge, built from the chassis of a LEGO Technic motorbike with the wheels re-positioned at the sides. Unfortunately, this makes it very heavy and cumbersome and easy to topple over. The wheels were originally only attached to the body work which was easy to tear off (and still is), taking the wheels with it so I redesigned the wheels so that they had an axle. The extended static arm was very narrow, making construction and mounting of the blade very difficult. The blade was originally a cog with spare parts as makeshift teeth that came off very easily. I redesigned the weapon mount using parts from a LEGO Technic Chinook Helicopter and used the rotor-blades for the weapon itself. I originally intended to use just one of the rotor blades but after struggling to find a use for the other one, I eventually decided to use both.
