​Employed as a guard, Gadu cares not for quests of destiny and conquest. Standing guard instead with his mighty shield and staff suits him just fine.

Builder's note

 

The idea behind Gadu here was to use more classic-styled G1 elements then I'd usually be comfortable doing, while still maintaining a cohesive design language throughout - not the repeating details throughout the classic pieces I chose, such as corrugated tubing, oblong notches and round shapes. I also wanted to dabble with moving away from the usual structure for the TW2 gearbox, ending up with a twisting abdominal region rather than a twisting waist.

I don't get a stone theme but more of a steel or chrome theme.

 

Build wise this is pretty solid.

The complete custom everything that follows into a seamless figure just shows your level of skill.

 

Great job.

Just make it a Toa of steel.

Hey I got a Flickr because I like making LEGO stuff.

Well I'd say you more or less succeeded in blending old and new parts together at this ratio/ Not too fond of the shorn off head spike and the chest though. Chest just needs adjusting a bit I think  though. I like the colour scheme though, that's nice.

Yeah, can't say I care for the missing head spike either. Other than that I quite like the model.

Voicing your opinions with tact is the best way to keep a discussion from becoming an argument.
So far as I'm aware, it's pronounced like this: We're ee ah moo.
