After two months of building, and another month of voting, I'm guessing you guys are eager to see the results for the Metroid MOC Contest. There were were many great entries in this contest, but only the best will be mentioned here. Here are the Metroid MOC Contest Results...

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

First Place

Entry Name: Space Pirate

Built by: Brickeens

Reference Picture: Link

Host Comments: Now this guy was seriously awesome. The amount of custom on this guy is incredible, and the legs are almost perfectly accurate to the reference picture. The use of the tires on the upper arms was also quite nice, and the claws look great too. The only thing I can whine about on this moc is the head. While I have to give it extra points for it being a custom head, I think that the eyes should definitely be higher up, and that he should've at least tried to make a mouth. Anyway, this moc was clearly the best of all the entries that were entered, and it deserves to get the honor of first place.

Second Place

Entry Name: Corrupted Samus

Built by: Zorrakh

Reference Picture: Link

Host Comments: Out of all of the Metroid Characters, I would have to say the hardest one to build is Samus. However, Zorrakh was able to capture her appearance in moc form almost flawlessly. (He even made her look like a female! ) The waist and shoulder articulation on this moc is great, and I adore that cannon. The fingers on her left hand are a little wierdly colored though, and her head isn't exactly as accurate as I would want it to be.

Third Place

Entry Name: Warrior Ing

Built by: Zerosixtyten

Reference Picture: Link

Host Comments: I really like how this moc captured the feel of the real Warrior Ing, and he was even able to create the little hairs on the back of his head. The purple was also a nice addition to the moc, but it looks like the moc should've really been all dark blue. (When you look at the reference picture.) Either way, this was a nice moc, and it deserves some recognition.

Fourth Place

Entry Name: Dark Space Pirate Commando

Built by: Zerosixtyten

Reference Picture: Link

Host Comments: Although the entry picture might be a little blurry, this was still one of the most accurate mocs in the contest. When you compare it to the reference picture, you can see that there aren't any differences between the two. The head is perfectly accurate, and so is the cannon. If the pictures had been a little nicer, then this entry could've done a lot better in the contest.

Honorable Mention 1

Entry Name: Plasma Trooper

Built by: FenrakkRider

Reference Picture: Link

Host Comments: Another one of those extremely accurate mocs, I was dissapointed that this entry didn't get more votes. The body structure, head, and sword are identical to the reference picture, and the trans-orange looks awesome. The custom torso is also quite nice, and I actually like this moc as much as I like Brickeen's Space Pirate.

Honorable Mention 2

Entry Name: Kanden

Built by: Nitrone 9

Reference Picture: Link

Host Comments: This one definitely needs to be mentioned here, mainly because the fact Kanden is almost impossible to build. His color scheme is wierd, (Is it lime green or yellow?) and his head is pretty much impossible to be turned into moc form. Yet, Nitrone 9 was able to make his entry actually look like the real thing. The body is actually the same shape as the real Kanden, and I think the color scheme works here. Overall, a great moc that should've made it to the Finals.
