Yet another MOC from the downtime. The first version was a quickie, and I set it aside for a bit as I worked on the Tokotoru. Around the time I built Tatoru, I went back and put a little more thought into its construction, beefing it up to try and match the size of its claws. For some odd reason, I see both versions as separate MOCs, so I'm posting both. Enjoy as usual :hau:.

The first version:


Pose 1
Pose 2
Front
Side
Back

The second version:

Pose that kinda says "Come at me, bro"
Striking pose close-up
Striking pose full
Charging
Front
Side
Back

Comics coming eventually: The Bionicles Try to Run A House
Upcoming MOCs: Sir Lesovikk, New Tokotoru.
Current MOCs:
ROTF Ravage.
Dead MOCs: The Tokotoru, this fire monster, this turtle.
This topic. Love it and cherish it. Do it for the lulz.

I like both versions, but I prefer the second one. It seems bulkier and tougher, like a fiery beast should be. The colours are great in both, I have never seen the idea to use fists to attaach legs before. 8.5/10

Version 1 is kind of meh, just because it's so simple. Version 2, however, is very nice. I love the character. The waist is very nice and works well with that type of leg connection. The keetorange feet on the legs stick out alot, but you do need something there to bulk them up. Are there any other options? I can't decide whether I like or hate the silver bits. They look cool, and aren't used too much, but they also break up a promising orange-and-red color scheme. Either way, this is a very cool MOC.

I would have used normal hand/ankle/neck pieces, but they didn't fill out the area as well. The Glatorian fists worked perfectly there.

Coincidentally, I was considering revamping it yet again because I was also concerned about the spindly legs compared to the bulky top half, along with the color distribution and such. Granted, most of my parts were being taken up by this little project, which has been long since been dismantled. Even between the two MOCs I've currently got built, I shouldn't have any problems addressing this.

Cool idea with Malum's claws. The second version is pretty awesome, though. And the "come at me, bro" pic is quite hilarious.

I think the (oh, what would you call it?) lower legs of the second looked a bit too thin. Otherwise, both look great!

It was then that everything fit together in my head. The two clawed beast. The Two Claws. The dual-claw marks. That all was easy. Then I realized something harder to grasp -  because the beast was inter-phasal, it could also travel through time, to an extent. The Two Claws wasn’t fiction, it was true. There was someone else like me, in the past. I continued blinking rapidly and turned back to the beast.

“What do you want?” I demanded.

The beast stood up a bit straighter and looked directly at me. A terrifying voice came from it as it answered.

“You and the girl. Both. You are abnormalities and must be dealt with.”

The lower legs of #2 really give it a bestial appearance. It works rather well.
