A mixture. Since it's going to be canon, set-like is good, I think. Though, some custom is also good.

I was thinking the same thing. But you know me, I can't simply use a pre-made body for a MOC anymore. And, because this is a contest, I figure more custom is better. In the end, the shoulders (arms), hands, head/helmet, and lower legs are custom, the thighs are "normal," the feet normal, and the lower arms are "unorthodox" but not custom.

I'm hoping to woo the crowd with an awesome MOC that also looks like a Glatorian. The customness will make it stand out, but not look crazy...I hope.
