Silver and gold are two colors commonly connected in the real world.
No more.
Your challenge: create your dream silver and black Toa. It CANNOT be smaller than the 2008 Av-Matoran and cannot be gigantic; however, a size as big as, persay, Takanuva 2008, would be fine. Just remember that IT IS A TOA!!
Update 10/02/08: There was some confusion about standard heads. Metru and Mata heads ARE FINE to use, along with the eye pieces associated. Also, any color masks are fair game, though for the sake of your color scheme, I suggest sticking to darker colors.

Rules:
1) Your entry may not have been published prior to the start of this contest. You may make your own topic before posting in the official entry thread, but you must create a post in the entry topic before it is closed in order to be officially entered. You may only start one topic for your entry. Please post only one main pic in this entry thread and a link to the rest of the pics in the gallery on your image host (most likely Brickshelf, Photobucket, or Flickr). You can do pictures as normal in your own separate thread. If you need help posting pictures, please see this topic.
2) Don't hesitate to drop us a PM if you really want to say something in private, but try to refrain unless completely necessary.
3) Painted parts are NOT ALLOWED. No non-LEGO parts. All other LEGO parts are fair game; however, for the most part, they should be Bionicle pieces and Technic pieces. Let's say, at least 75% of the MOC Bionicle/Technic parts. Pictures in which the appearance of the MOC has been edited in Photoshop or other editing software are also prohibited. If either method is used, the MOC will be disqualified. The background may be edited, as long as it does not alter the appearance of the MOC.
4) Only one entry per member. You cannot switch or modify models mid contest. Once you have entered, you may not "un-enter" your models and enter new ones. You may opt to bow out of the contest for whatever reason but you cannot reenter under such a situation. If you get disqualified for any reason, you will not be allowed to reenter with another MOC in that contest.
5) Any flaming will result in disqualification from the contest. Competition is good if you keep it clean. Everyone play fair, NO WHINING, no insults. I reserve the right to DQ any entry at any time for any reason.
6) Absolutely, positively NO CHEATING! Anyone found to be cheating or even suspected of cheating will face immediate disqualification from this contest and will be banned from participating in future contests.
7) No "this is unfair" posting. Some people have more parts, money, time, penguins, gigs left on your hard drive, etc than others. That's life; we each have to do our best with what we have. Any excessive complaining may, at the judgment of the contest runner, disqualify you!
8) Discussion is encouraged. Feel free to ask questions about models you see or about the contest in general. This is for us, the BBC builders; let's have some fun with it.
9) The contest is open to all BZP members, and voting is open to all BZP members to participate in even if they did not enter an MOC. "Advertising" your MOC is fine by making a signature or avatar reminding people to vote for you, but mass-PMing is frowned upon. So is advertising your MOC in someone else's thread. Spamming may result in disqualification or even permanent contest ban. In other words, DON'T DO IT.
10) Your MOC MAY have shades of gray in it; however, it shouldn't be a major color. Let's say, 25% of your model can consist of shades of gray; the other 75% should be silver and black.
11) As long as there is some silver or some black, your MOC is okay.

A new Content Block will be created here on Shot in the Dark with your name, information, and link to your profile/blog. Basically, a Blog Member Spotlight. That will remain up until we get our next champ--so, basically, one or more months. Sound pretty cool?
We'll also give you a nice congratulations signature.
We hope for bigger and better prizes in the future, but for now, this is all we have to offer.
