MOC: G2 Umbra

[Logan McOwen]

G2 Umbra

 

A revamp of the 2006 Bionicle set, Umbra. I was always enthralled by the original's design, and wanted to see how well it'd translate to the modern, CCBS style. Note that he even has an adrenaline mode!

Thoughts?

I really like the legs on this revamp.

[Tristan Teridax]

I really love the custom gearboxes you make, also does it stand well or does it kinda flop around like g1 Umbra?

[KCGR]

I like this. I like this a lot.

 

You've done a great job at modernizing the original Umbra's design and features, the adrenaline mode is a nice touch and the colors work much better with pearl gold replacing the keetorange, IMO.

 

 

EDIT: Would it be possible to get some pictures of the skeleton of the torso up close, sort of showing how the head and torso armor attaches? I've been scratching my brain trying to figure out a way.

This looks amazing. Perfectly captures the original Umbra and even improves upon it. The design flows and the poses work really well with this guy.

I know I've commented elsewhere on this magnificent re-imagining of Umbra, but I'll sum up what I said before.
It's awesome. I love the shaping that the gold spike parts create on the torso, and the shoulder-pads make him look very regal.
The gold and silver don't clash, they work with one another and with that lovely dark green (wish I had picked up Orgum when I had the chance), and. I really like the roller-skates. I still wish that the blades were red and blue like in the original set, but all in all... man. Give yourself another pat on the back. You deserve it

[The Invisible Handman]

I love those roller-skates, very cool. Replacing the yellow with gold has also paid off well and looks better than the original model, and the trans green in a nice touch. I do like that the shoulders evoke the original Umbra very well. The torso and upper legs are excellent.

 

Overall it's an excellent model.

[Millennium]

Umbra was -and still is - one of my favourite sets back then, regardless of what most people said about his color scheme. I'm in awe for the chest armor. I kinda miss the yellow, replaced by gold, but it's good nonetheless. Nice work on the rollerskates, too.

[Shadow Destroyer]

I was always a fan of the original Umbra set, and I'm happy to say that you definitely improved on all of the set's flaws with this revamp. The design is much more sleek, and I love the build of the legs and chest. I would definitely buy this if it happened to be an exclusive or something like that.

[-Windrider-]

Those skates are perfect, I think. And it's a small detail, but the gold pieces framing the torso really catch my eye and give things a nice shape.

[32one]

I like the build of the legs, especially the thigh construction, but the limbs look a bit too dark and the front of the torso isn't that great. I dislike the same two things with the original set too. 

[Jonathan Crane]

You know, although Umbra has received a lot of hate over the years, I've always liked the set. This is an amazing revamp, and is easily the coolest G2 revamp IMO.

[Methaxx]

Looks beautiful. Well done.

[Voltex]

Those skates are one of the most wonderful sights that I have had the pleasure of seeing all day.

[fishers64]

Dang. I am impressed. 

 

Might have been a little too much green flames, but this guy is a rollerskater, so it fits his character anyway. Nicely done.
