Name: Makuta Antroz
Occupation: Highly Trusted Lieutenant; leader of the Karda-Nui Makuta
Mask: Jutlin; Mask of Corruption
Weapons: Protosteal wrist claw; Shadow staff allowing him access to any Rahkshi power; Tridax Pod
Means of Flight: Wings
Allegiance: Teridax; Icarax
Position: Along with Icarax, Antroz is second in command under the Brotherhood of Makuta. He is the most trusted Makuta under Teridax. His main job is leading other Makuta through various tasks.

What I've changed:

Torso: Bulked up the waist.
Arms: Added silver, shortened lower arms. Gave fingers. Added Spikes.
Wings: Added an extra wing. Added claw, added spike.
Legs: Bulked them up, added spikes/silver.
Weapons: I decided that two small swords doesn't fit a great Makuta like Antroz. I gave him a Protosteal Claw, and an Elemental Spear in which he can access all his powers through.

I've always imagined Antroz as a great Brotherhood official. In fact, Bonesiii's Mindfire describes him quite well on how he's the one that greets the ship. However, I'd still have Teridax in charge, with Icarax and Antroz tied in second, and Mutran following close behind. And, he should be taller. I didn't quite get that into his MOC, but it's displayed better since I shortened the arms, so he seems taller and more powerful. I've also always thought that his weapons were puny. Two small swords? So I gave him a huge staff and a claw. The claw is just there so he has another weapon, whereas the staff is his primary one. Through his staff, he can access his mask powers along with every other of his powers. Also, he needed to be a lot buffer. Especially being such an awesome Makuta. He's probably my favorite so far.

I know that his fingers aren't the right color – but, they do match the feet. Now, if they had Metru red or black T-bars it wouldn't look as bad. Although, I'd have to get Metru Red or black fingers since I only have them in gunmetal.

Note: This is not meant to be custom. It's supposed to be something that LEGO would create, not something I would create.

Well, enjoy! Comments and Constructive Criticism is welcome. Spam and number ratings are not. And, please don't just say “I like the legs”, but rather, “I like the legs because it adds an awesome bulk to this creation . . .” or if you don't like the legs, instead of saying “the legs stink” say “I think the legs could be better by . . .”

And, for those who are wondering, I will be re-making Chirox and Vamprah as well. I hope to also do Icarax. I would do Mutran, but the lack of the set sort of throws that idea away. Unless of course, I just use Chirox's mask.

He looks nice, very Makuta-like. However, I think his wings look a bit jumbled-up and slightly awkward -- must be the pictures if that isn't the case. Also, take out the old style hands and replace them with the new ones so that the MOC flows more smoothly.

His weapon is pretty slick, though I would take out the red and black on the tip and replace them with silver ones. I've seen pieces in those colors, so...

The bulk is also pretty good and I can't say anything bad about it.

BTW, I can't see why Teridax would have Icarax as a second-in-command? Icarax is incredibly rebellious and they fought over that one time...

This is a good revamp of Antroz, the staff is well built and I'm pleasently supprised that you didn't use Antroz's claws on it. The bulkier legs are a plus, same with the waist. The claw on his right hand looks out of place on a Black and red Moc, so to do the Pohatu claws on the legs and the silver Metru armour on the back of the arms, although the silver Viking horns look great. My only other complaint is the silver on the wings that looks out of place, but you obviously can't do anything about that.



~Oh~

Nice,but the body could be custom. I like the way the wings attach.

Nice, i like what you've done here. It's a nice still-set-like revamp. We need some more of those... I like how you managed to change him without taking away from the 'Makuta' look.

Alright, here we go...

Head: Same- good.

Torso: It's basically the same but with the added Metru chestpiece, nice touch as it makes him look a bit more like the other towo as they both have a piece there. However, I'd remove the red piece over the top of it just because I don't like it.

Legs: I kinda don't like them that much... The lower portion is nice, but I never liked the 'claw in the middle of the limb' on two-legged beings. Also, I don't like how both of the armor pieces on the theighs are the same, I like it when the top one is bigger and the back one as small as possible if there is one at all. However, as with the arms, the spike is a nice little touch, though I'd recommend that you flip them around.

Arms: I like your way better. I always love it when people fill in the empty spaces in a limb, like how you have the Bohrok eye there. For the upper, That's what I meant for the legs, I think it looks better that way. And the claws are a nice touch.

Wings: I would rather they either be how they were on the set, or if it would be four of the Antroz wing pieces packed on like a dragonfly's.

Weapon: Nice. The Ehlek claw is nice, but I think it'd look better if it were on his hand. And the staff looks nice too, but i miss his original weapons...

So overall, nice revamp, keep it up!

TT

EDIT: HOLY FUDGE! THEY RUINED MY FONT!!! NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Then again, it may be my computer... Help?

Good change.Nice choice of weapon.

Nice revamp!
I like what you did with the weapons. Antroz was always my favorite...

hard to MOC with the phankuta body, isn't it ? Antroz finally got some meat on his shell! Btw, Krika is the most awesome

Nice job! This is a pretty sweet MOC. I had forgotten how fierce ANtriz could be. The wings are looking better, cuz let's face it; a makuta with only two wings doesn't look too scary. The protosteel claw is a nice touch. My only inquiry is why you didn't give him his old weapons?
