Tough choice... I was in serious doubt between Trunx and Hisss... But I went with Trunx, I think in overall its better built (The snake, apart from the brilliant head, is more basic). Good luck to all!

[Awesomeness]

I have to say, all are impressive, but Trunx has stuck in my mind the entire time this contest, so I must vote for him. the serpent was also really nice, and would have been my second vote, but Trunx definitely gets my vote.

[Ballom]

Voted for my own entry here. Still, good luck to everyone present in this poll.

~B~

[Lord Oblivion]

I also voted for myself, and just like Ballom, I wish everyone good luck to all the others present in the final poll =)

[Eeko]

Behemoth is my fave.

[Plague]

Ssssss.. I love snakes. I would've picked Trunx, but... I mean come ON! IT WAS A SNAKE!!

[Elzy]

Voted for the Hyena over the Snake in the end. The rest had some combination of a lack of HF aesthetic and lack of technical proficiency, though I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see a Trunx victory. Best of luck to everyone who made it to this point.

[What?]

Voted for the snake. A very nice bit of work. Much more polished than Behemoth, which frankly isn't finished. I'm still working on/drastically revising it.

In fact, I think I'll go work on that right now.

[The Oncoming Storm]

Go Lord Oreo : D excellent work with the snake though, that was great work.

[Nukaya]

Trunx for life. It is a dynamic and highly compelling build that shows great personality and realism of the anatomy of an elephant.

Also, dang my boyfriend knows how to build.

[55555]

Voted Behemoth. Trunx and the Hyena are both pretty excellent MOCs, Trunx is so elephantine, and the hyena conveys a lot of the HF mojo and is awesome.

Reloading this topic every few seconds. Thanks to all who voted for my snake!

May the best MOC win.

[Erebus]

Whoever made TRUNX really got the details down. Looks really realistic.

[christo1096]

Number 2

[Vezok's Friend]

I chose number 1. After seeing some of the entires in reality, I still think it has the best flow out of the bunch. The Hyena is definitely impressive too, with the mane, but there can be only 1. But they're all great!

[Vartemp]

I voted for entry two.

[Zarohum]

I had to vote for Tyrannarahk. It's just too awesome.

And for the contestants, you've made it this far, and that deserves congratulations, whether you win or not.

[~The 1st Shadow~]

Behemoth gets my vote.
None of the others seem as good compared to it in my eyes. Hisssssss is good, but it's body/tail is just too generic in comparison to the head, which is pretty much the only thing I like about it. Trunx isn't bad, in fact, I love it. However, I do not like the inconsistency with the legs; they're too "smooth" while the torso is much rougher, so it disrupts the flow. Night Wolf..... I just don't like the head, and it seems more like a lizard than a wolf, and doesn't catch my attention very well at all. The only other one that looks good is the Hyena, but it just doesn't feel like something that could win. It's a great MOC, but it's just not something I'd vote for in the finals. Behemoth is amazing in size and build, in every way, so it gets my vote.

[Peppermint Butler]

The snake is the besterest, therefore I voted for it. But good luck everyone.

[Sumiki]

I loved all of these for various reasons, but in the end I had to go with #1.

[Legolover-361]

This was a really tough choice. My analyses on the entries are as follows:

Entry 1: I'm really digging the simplistic build, and the lime green over black looks very sleek and snake-like. The only con I can think of is the tail: It's just a series of repeating segments. And yet, that repetition gives the MOC a great flow toward the tail's tip. Also, pose for the win.

Entry 2: The body looks great, and black is such an awesome color (hard to take photos of, but awesome nonetheless). The head looks odd compared to the rest of the MOC, however, and I'm not sure about the use of system pieces on the lower front legs. The tail is another odd point.

Entry 3: That is, indeed, a Rather Unfriendly Hyena Creature to my eyes. The flame / spike design on the upper back fits very well with the rest of the MOC. The color scheme is another strong point. However, the lower front legs seem thick compared to the lower back legs.

Entry 4: I like how the MOC can roll into a ball, but otherwise it's rather simplistic. I do like the inventive usage of Hero Factory pieces, though.

Entry 5: 'Tis an elephant. I've never seen an elephant MOC before, but this one sets a very high standard. The various shades of gray with dashes of black and white seem a tad odd together, but the building style itself is brilliant.

Entry 6: I love the spines down the back and sides, but the large feet seem funny compared to the tiny back feet. There are seem to be quite a few gaps in the MOC, but otherwise it looks great.

Entry 7: The lower jaw's teeth seem odd, being large and curled Gali Mata hooks compared to the Bohrok teeth on the upper jaw. But the rest of the building style is sound, the various shades of blue seem well-balanced, and the wings add a very nice touch.

Entry 8: I really like the building techniques used in this MOC, especially the head and the upper body. The main con: It has spines, double-jointed legs, things a beast would have, but it looks more like a bestial biped than a bipedal beast, if you get my meaning.

'Twas tough to choose between entries 1, 3, and 5. But in the end, 1 won me out (forgive my unintentional pun); that is one awesome snake MOC.

[BioGio]

My vote went to Behemoth, although Tyrannarahk was a very close second.

[Space: Ocean of Awe]

Armadillo rocks the party. Plus it's cute, and do you see any of the others rolling up like that? I also kind of voted for it because I couldn't decide between Hisssss and Behemoth, they were both so awesome. But I love the armadillo, who couldn't?

Good luck to everyone!

=)

[Velox]

This was a hard one, but in the end I had to go with #1.

[Darkrylles]

I couldn't decide between #2 and #9, but my final conclusion is #2

[KlakWest]

This was an extremely DIFFICULT choice, but I went with the Hyena, probably because of a really cool piece it had.

Still, all of these MOC's are extremely creative, and whoever wins, regardless of whether or not I voted for them at any juncture in the competition, deserves to win.
