Looks too cartoonish.

Try making the wheels 3-pixels wide. Give a Tire Pattern on the Wheels
Is it supposed to be this?

I am surprised it looks quite well ingame though the 3D view doesn't suggest so. The Glass of the cockpit could need some more detail and the weapon thingy rocketlauncher too. Slightly bigger tires maybe?

kinda, but not what I have in my idea. The wheel is actually 3 pixels wide. Confused

But I just realizied it after I saw that the bike i made had the wheel underneath it, it is suppose to extend forward. Goes the same for the back wheel.

Yeah, the rocketlauncher i made is way too tiny for me to make any details. Laughing

Or you could also make it be 5 pixels wide. This is how my wheels for my old Gatling Trike is arranged.

Add more variation on the wheels. As it stands it looks like a single tracked Wheel instead of an actual wheel. Notice how in Tire Treads they have variations. That can easily be accomplished by for example in the center one being a solid while the ones beside it being colored with the darker wheel color and in an alternating pattern.

OK, will do it. I'm not happy with the recon bike I made. It looks too short. Should have made it longer and getting the rocket launcher straight instead of painting it diagonally. So I'm redoing it again.

Also, I notice your voxels all suffer from the black plague. You can cure this by filling the center with pixels as well.

When it comes to bikes, longer is better.

...Within reason folks. Within reason. There needs to be a good length : width ratio.

And lets keep the dick jokes to a minimum.

The same goes for height, that rocket pod is way to big & high up IMO.

Ohh! That's really helpful tip. I was starting to wonder why all the voxels I made have random black dots all over it. Thanks! Gonna to try it.

Black plague or "black dot syndrome" as it's most often called is caused by having gaps between voxels, this often happens on sloped or rounded surfaces.

Here is an example voxel that has gaps & will have black dots ingame.

This one is sufficiently thick enough tho & will be displayed correctly ingame.

As 4Star said tho the easiest way to fix it is to just fill all of the space inside a voxel.

The wheel looks a lot more rounded, but it's is still a bit boxy IMO.

Hmm

I'm making mech now, thanks to LKO.

Ignore the color, but the rotation I made is kinda awkward. Any idea how to make that so it will rotate without having to reposition the section over and over to fit the body?

And the wheel I'm rotating keeps on messes up for Bumblebee. Is it suppose to happen with the rotating in HVA?

Or easy way? Replacing the color for next animation? Question

It is inside locked with with the twin fire cannons. If the driver wants to get out/in, the inner red circle will open up so the driver can get in/out.

The wheels on your bike are way to small. Look at the wheels in ref to the body. try making the front wheel wider & the rear tire wider and bigger, it would no longer be a bike, but as someone pointed out too big for bike

I'm happy with the recon bike that I made. That's my opinion. If they don't like it, then why don't they make voxel for that recon bike then? That recon bike is staying in the World Domination mod for sure. Really, I'm satisfied with that voxel I made. Compare the new recon bike voxel with old recon bike voxel. you can see how small the old one wheel is and the new one wheel. it got like 2 -3 pixels bigger.

I am, but we're trying to help you make a not-so-crappy one for your own.
