wow so much freakin better than the original. must admit i love the way you did the legs very creative and unique. must ask is there any way it can still fling a disk or something

The torso design is interesting, and I like the fact you used a yellow washer piece by the head.

I can see lots of creative parts usage. You did a very good job building it, and used some interesting techniques. However, the aesthetics need quite a bit of work. Firstly, there are random bits sticking out everywhere, especially the limbs. Empty sockets, naked ball joints, exposed axles, etc. Some HF parts, or maybe System bricks could potentially be worked into the design to eliminate those spots. Second, the arms could need to be reworked entirely. The upper arm is an odd chunk of Technic and does not even look like part of an arm. The forearms have an illogical, drastic change in width. As well, the knees jut out strangely. It is very interesting to see that part used that way, but I'm not sure it was the right part for the job. In conclusion, this MOC is very creative, but the techniques are slapped together into a humanoid shape instead of incorporated into a more cohesive form.
