Nick's Mods Ep.14- Scorpion Tribe Mods -- LEGO Legends of Chima + Ninjago Combos and MORE! 

Imagine what this tribe would be like with good writing These guys would be tough , terrifying or just hilarious and I can’t say which

Maybe for the dessert skimmer’s chi crystals spot be attached to the driver fully commit to the idea that the driver and vehicle become one where the driver is powering the vehicle

Nick, somehow your turning Chima's hate into a mild curiosity.

I think my favourite is the desert skimmer. It's really clever how the driver's tail becomes the vehicle's tail. What also impressive is how much Ninjago provides in terms of inspiration. I hadn't realized before, I think I've spotted this because you included some Atlantis, Pharaoh's Quest, Galaxy Squad and Marvel sets as possible source of inspiration. I guess given how long Ninjago has been around it makes sense that a good chunk of original, inspiring builds would come from it!

I still remember how absolutely HYPED I was when leaks of a Bat tribe hit the web in 2013. Even before wave 2, I was imagining what my favorite animal would look like as a Chima tribe. Looking forward to the next vid Nick, and excellent job with these MOCs!

I’m absolutely LOVING these china mods nick! Modding other sets from other themes to fit the aesthetic is such a fantastic idea, and I love how fleshed out and epic you’re making the world of Chima feel!

“Scrap ton” is a really fun phrase

A I find it funny how the last trip of chima, to appear in any media license by lego, literally didn't have anything

The Scorpion Tribe has always been one of my favorites in terms of design, particularly Scorm. I wish they weren't so goofy in story, because these guys have so much style and presence! Also, I love how the Skimmer resembles a single scorpion claw just as much as a full-sized scorpion.

That little bike for the scorpion is amazing this way, I own the ninjago version, so that the first moc I am gonna be trying to rebuild It is awesome

I like thinking that once a child is born in the Chima tribes, a child is born, and doesn't exactly need to have Chi embedded into them or a necklace like some of the figures show, until a certain age, where they make a pilgrimage to the Lion Kingdom to collect the Chi to make into necklaces for the ones who have become adults. It's a little piece of lore that I made up to justify the chi necklaces.

Desert skimmer looks like perfect claw for bulked up Stinger, if it had those old "detach part and use as separate vehicle" gimmick. But Even on its own it looks really good. Man, as much as I'm not a fan of Ninjago as a theme, sets are amazing to cannibalize and convert. Inspired by your series I've looked at some of the mechs, and now I'm trying to convert Zane's mech into bulked up version of that combiner model from first year of Exo Force.

Scorm's Scorpion Stinger is a set I've had on my want list since it came out, and you're making it really tempting to finally get it, Nick! Anyways, the Scorpions were always one of my favorite Chima tribes, and I'm really happy to see how you upgraded their ranks. Even in 2014, I had wanted to see the Outland's story and sets extended (Though Fire & Ice was a great next step in retrospect) I could honestly see these two vehicles being part of a second wave, they're that good! Thanks again for the great content, Nick! And please, take a break after Dark Tribe Month if you feel you need to. I'm more than happy to wait for your content, it's always worth it, no matter how long!

I wish LEGO made buildable figures for the scorpions, spiders, and bats. They made buildable figures for the Ice Tribe, why not the Dark Tribe. I feel like CCBS lends itself well to the look of arthropods.

I made a scorpion named Scorgot and thought “Y’know, what if he’s the substitute king, the second in Command” I scrolled through bricklinks ninjago sets for a vehicle for Scorgot and thought of his personality. Considering none of the other dark tribes have a caped character, he could be an overly Eccentric scorpion. Another thing is that while he may be Scorms right hand man, he’s an Outland citizen first and foremost. He allies with who the majority of the Outland people ally with. I didn’t find anything on bricklink, but found his new ride at Walmart: The 2020 Jedi Interceptor. I removed the Astromech port, removed the windshield, slung Scorgot further back, added claws to the front, a tail, replaced the flaps in the back with bat wings, colour swapped, and added a small glass of whatever Wine is in chima. Definitely fits Scorgots eccentric, overconfident, Superiority complex having personality.

Nick, there's a family of scorpions in here! I call the gauntlet one Scrungo.

Love the MOCS but thank you so much for Lego rewind. I’ve missed genuine heartfelt content on RU-vid for so long. I hope you get to focus on your graphic novels more but seriously man thank you for your dedication.

Man i'm so in love with these videos i just rewatch every episode like 10 times a month. The inspiration and fulfilment with which Nick talks about models just amuses me and I listen to every word carefully so that I would not lose any epithets or puns. Ty Nick, you're doing a fantastic job

Your skorpion bike is so cool !! Love the ratling blades, such a cool feature ! Oh and the sound of the thread-bike is just so good too, really emphasis the biker-gang aura you went for the skorpion tribe !

I was first introduced to this channel through the train’s episode of Lego rewind, and I’ve loved your content ever since. It’s great to see all of these custom Mocs you have built. Keep going with the amazing content :)

You’re reeeeeaaaally making me want to build those outland bikes 😭

All of these videos are so inspiring, now I want to make my own scorpion tribe vehicle

That modded bat scuttler looks absolutely amazing I cannot wait to see it

imagine having two desert stingers and using them as pinchers for a large mobile base, that can detach.

The small army builder vehicle even looks kinda like a speedorz

What I enjoyed chima for more than ninjago is that the vehicles felt more relevant to the faction, rather than a couple of random cars with the faction's motif. The crocs had deadly ambush vehicles, the lions and wolves had fast, heavily armed assault vehicles, the eagles had nimble vehicles that would swoop in, the mammoths had heavily armoured 'bulldozers'. These factions all had vehicles tailored to their character. Unlike ninjago, which would quite literally converted from random cars like with the snakes and ghost warriors. There were some exceptions like the skeletons and pirates, however, I doubt there would be more since nowadays, there would be no room for a well-round arsenal as there only a couple villain sets per wave nowadays.

only channel i've ever turned notifications on for- your work is so high quality i'd hate to miss it, love seeing these mod videos for such a great theme

I love these videos it has inspired me to create a more vehicles for the bull clones from monkie kid to make their army more intense

All the mods and mocs you make are simple yet great. Good work, can't wait to see more!

I love your openings it’s giving me vhs vibes for some reason

I love how you mod sets for under developed tribes in chima could you try to mod something for any of these tribes who have one or no vehicles. Rhinos Tigers Leopards Gorillas Bears

Great builds! I enjoyed listening to your thought process on the design choices of the vehicles. Really nailed the aesthetic of the scorpions!

Love your videos man!

I would love to see your take on the Lego Classic 90th Anniversary Tahu as I know that you love Bionicle.

oooh, a Scorpion Tribe vehicle moc that could work too imo is the Power Miners' Claw Catcher

I have a really bad idea, so here it is: idk if you’re good at building Mocs without going off of official sets, but maybe building a custom mount cavora moc would make a great centerpiece for your chima collection

It's fun seeing your mocs and going through the process of how you built them and why. it's especially interesting to me because you actually plan stuff out properly, unlike me who just finds some parts they want to work with and just goes ham building whatever (Just an example: my latest moc is a hybrid between an Ice Planet 2002 ship and an Aquashark's sub because of wanting to build with a lot off trans orange and not having enough blue or black bits left) Anyway actual question now: do you ever go fully original or do you just like adding to stuff (it's valid either way, I'm just curious)

The Scorpions is my favourite tribe

I love the scorpions and I consider all these vehicles cannon

Good content

Now I think it. Your modding of side bike. Not only looks like scorpion, but like claw. A single sharp claw.

"I can't tell if that's their armour or their naked bodies, I prefer to to think the later". Okay nick I didn't need to know that.

Ah I love me some nick on planet ripple mod

I’m not first I’m not last But when Nick Posts I fast

awesome

If you made another one of the tracked vehicles, you could build in a detaching feature from the main scorpion, because they look a lot like claws. Maybe some flip out claws underneath that can replace them?

Love it.

Mammals and stuff arent very cool to me, so my favorite tribes were the crocodiles and scorpions. I was also one of the people hoping they would reuse Atlantis parts for ocean tribes...

Fun lil fact about scorpions the smaller they are the more deadly they are X3

I miss chima :(

Have you realized the head reminds me of predator mask helmet revealed.

the tail thing was also a issue for the lego narutoe snakes too

I would really like to see you try to create a MOC of the Golden Weapon Vehicles from Ninjago season 1, in a much more accurate way like in the show...

I see the desert skimmer as a scorpion claw,2 of them cam follow the main bike as "remote controled" weapons kinda like how some mobile suit in gundam have mind controled weapons

Just an idea but I think would be interesting if you tried taking tremor’s vehicle from ultra agents and turn it into something for the gorilla tribe

Cant wait for the bat tribe scuttler

then their base would likely be a scorpion-shaped garage

SCORPION

If you could add you're own tribe into the world of Chima, what would it be?

2:29-2:32 Gee, that name sounds familiar, doesn’t it? ;)

The wolf tribe is like one of the main tribes and have nothing

How did you get so many silver scorpions

Jak 3 music 👀

are you going to do the monkie kid wave 3 overview?

Any updates on when we could see the Pt3 to your “ infamous Spider-Man”?

Can you give the instuctions pls

How did you do skorms Tail?

Do you take build requests?

Evean the crocs missing there tails

Unrelated but my dogs name is scrungo

I don't know if you've mentioned this because I just thought of something after watching this video a day ago so I totally forgot most of what happens besides the mods you made but can you try giving the monkie kid demon bone set a mod to become the scorpion castle.
