The Ambassador

[BlackboltJohnson]

Acting as the Queen's most trusted advisor, The Ambassador works in concert with the Elite Royal Guard in her majesty's service.

This crafty fellow strongly prefers the negotiating table to the battlefield. But if push comes to shove, The Ambassador can (and has) laid low many enemies of the realm during his long career. More often than not, these victories were not achieved through open combat. But rather a stealthy, assassin-like approach under the cover of darkness.

Perhaps the rumors are true, and The Ambassador did rise to prominence by the edge of his blade?

Well, it appears my theory that the Queen's Guard was from Destiny: TTK seems to be wrong.

 

Wow, this is a nice MOC! The attachment of the wings is interesting, and the all-around aesthetic is pleasing. It is quite simple, which works to its favor. Just not quite on the same level as the Queen's Guard. Don't get me wrong, it's great, but just a smidgen below the grade of the Queen's Guard.

 

NOW MAKE A QUEEN.

Very neat, as usual your unique blend of G1 and G2 elements is impressive. It's good to see Tarix's helmet. I don't like (nor do I understand its purpose) the plain keetorange socket on the crotch, though.

There's seem really neat part usage here, like the Exo-Force limbs on the thigh armor. Also, I don't see Tarix's helmet used much in MOCing so that's cool too. I almost get a "flying monkey" vibe from this guy, mostly because of his stance and the wings. Blue and yellow is a nice color scheme too. The Mata hand on the crotch does seem out of place, though--I'm guess it's there to pad out the armor a bit, or to look like a loincloth or something?

As someone who likes the game I definitely feel like there was some inspiration from the Reef's characters, or at least seems like it, with the idea behind the Queen's guard.
(probably just coincidence though)

Thanks to both of you guys.  I actually wasn't that big a fan of this MOC, but the response here and on TTV has been really positive.  So I guess I've got a winner afterall.

 

The thing about the yellow hand in the groin is that because the G1 navy torso armor piece is too small for the CCBS torso skeleton, there is a huge, ugly gap in the crotch.  If they made a size 1 keet orange armor shell, I would've put that there.  But I don't believe they do (or if so, I don't have any).  I wanted to keep the keet orange color consistent across the thighs and pelvis, so the piece you see here was the only way I could think of to do that.

 

Indeed it is a bit of an eyesore, but after experimenting with lots of other parts, this was the best looking option.
