Hello, everyone!
Today I'd like to present my mod, Methane Cube. It was made in February and attended the mod contest held by MoYu at that time.
Technically, it is just a AI cube fused with four 4.5cm 3x3 cubes. The puzzle got its name since it looks very similar to the model of a methane molecule. Now the 4x4 represents a carbon atom while the 4 3x3's represent 4 hydrogen atoms.
Here are the pictures. Enjoy!
Linxiao

Ahhh, that is really cool! Great concept, and I love the symmetry of the middle 4x4 turns. I don't think I've actually ever seen different order cubes fused together like this before. Nice job!

I saw some pictures of it some days ago and I had to admit I didn't like it at all.
But now that I know the name and the reason for it I somehow love it. And the puzzle itself looks great!

Interesting idea! I didn't know there even existed 4x4's and 3x3's with the same cubie size.

Ahahaha, that's such a fitting name for it!
Keep it away from an open flame!

Sorry that I didn't have a plan to make a video. Also I didn't bring the cube to school so I don't have it right now. |

When I saw the title, I thought this puzzle was gonna be [Censored. Please be nice!] 
But I'm happy to say I was wrong.
A little video showing how it turns would be nice. Having a little trouble wrapping my head around the scrambled picture.
Seems like a fun solve. Nice work!
