Mysterious Minifig

The bow is cool. I've never seen that done with Bionicle before. You've put together an interesting assortment of Toa. Some of them look like they're too simplified. Argareth is probably the worst in that regard. It just seems like his torso is way too thin. The rest of them have decent torsos. I looked at Jodurak and was wondering what was going on and then I read the back story and it made sense. It's kind of cool how you built the robotic arm and leg. I haven't seen some of those pieces used for MOCs before.

You also have some interesting parts usage with the heads and mask on Roia's legs.

It seems like it's unfinished. A large part of that might be that the color scheme doesn't blend well. The light grey in the lower legs stick out to me just a little too much. Those pieces also make the lower legs seem a little to wide compared to the upper legs. The torso has a pretty interesting design though. It's kind of cool that you able to incorporate the heads in as shoulders.

Overall, it's a very interesting looking Toa. Thanks for sharing.

I think this one looks pretty cool. I like the head as it looks pretty unique. The color scheme is also really good. The orange really contrasts well with the black. The legs and torso look pretty well done although it seems like the arms are a little thin, especially the upper part. Both the weapon and the staff are pretty cool.

Overall you did a really nice job on this.

I think you did a pretty good job with these. The build isn't too complicated, but they still look nice. The color scheme works fine. The glue is an interesting way of connecting the chest armor. It's a little bit unconventional, but I think it works.

Overall, very nice job on these. Thanks for sharing.

It looks very interesting, although it doesn't seem like it's complete. It seems like it should be a four legged machine and the way you have it posed it's standing on it's back legs.

The color scheme works well though, even though it doesn't have a lot of variety. I would try to add a head or something behind the mask because right now it looks like the mask is floating in space.

It's an interesting concept and the glowing is pretty cool. I don't know if the build is the best though. The arms and torso look good, but the fett and lower legs just seem too blocky to me. You did a pretty good job avoiding that on the rest of the body. I guess that's kind of what happens when you use a lot of system pieces though.

Overall though it's a pretty cool concept and I haven't really seen anything like it before.

Even though it's pretty simple I think your self MOC still looks pretty good. Not everything needs to completely custom. Depending on the purpose, a simple construction can work fine.

I think you did pretty good job getting this one to look the way you wanted. The color scheme is nice. Also, nice use of the rubber bands to add a little more bulk to the arms, I almost missed them.

The bulky build works pretty well. The MOC looks pretty tough and strong because of it. I agree with one of the previous posters that the thighs could be a little bigger, but I don't think it hurts the overall MOC too much. The rest of the MOC looks good. The color scheme is also well executed.

It's kind of cool that you were able to incorporate the Mata feet into the torso. It's not something you would usually see there.

This one looks so cool. For a fast MOC you did a really good job on this. The mask is pretty cool and definitely makes this MOC unique. The feet are also well done. A lot of people would have just used the standard feet, but I'm gald you added the extra layer to the bottom as it looks pretty nice. The air pack on its back as well and the hoses running along the arms and legs also look pretty nice.

I don't really have anything to complain about since you even managed to do something with the simple forearms by including the hoses.

Together as a whole all of these go together pretty well. The builds aren't to complicated but there is a nice consistency between each member of the team because of that simplicity.

I think I like Kolasi the best, but that might just be because you used gold colored pieces. Xyleke is my least favorite. I'm not sure if I like the dark blue along with the green. The blue matches Kolasi, it just seems like it's out of place. Ponos is good too, I don't like him as much as I like Kolasi, but his color scheme works.

Very nice job on these.

I this guy is pretty cool. The afro adds a lot of interest and definitely makes him stand out. The rest of the build also appears to be pretty solid. I don't really see any gaps. I'm not sure if I like the multicolor flashlight. It seems like it would have been better to just use one color.

Both of these are pretty interesting. It almost feels like they're not complete though. There are some gaps that sort of bother me. The Fire Brawler looks fine from the front, but not as good from the back. You have some interesting build though. The feet on the fire brawler are interesting although they don't feel complete because the previously mentioned gaps. The 4 claw hand is also pretty cool. These must be pretty big because I don't think the 4 claw would work on anything smaller.

There are some many colors but somehow you've managed to blend them together well enough to make it work. The body it self is well done as it appears finished and well filled in. The amount of detailing you included is impressive.

I have to agree with Sumiki though, that I'm not a huge fan of the hands. They're probably the worst part of the MOC. They're just too simple when compared to the rest of the work you've put into this.

I like the Matoran. There's not a lot there but it's still nice for nostalgia's sake.

The Toa of Shadow is really well done. The weakest part is definitely the forearms. There's just nothing there compared to the rest of the arms and the legs. You mentioned trying to fix that though and I'm not really sure what else would work there. The rest of the arms and legs are good. There is plenty of bulk there that helps to give him a pretty strong look.

Overall nice job on both of these.

It looks like it will be a fun little short. I'll have to try to remember to watch it when it comes out.

It's an interesting concept and I think you did a good job with it. The color scheme is pretty straight forward and the model is looks pretty nice. I don't know if the entry picture does it full justice though, since by itself it doesn't appear very fearsome. I suppose looks can be deceiving though.

All of these are really good. I think my favorite is Jacko. Your description matches the pose perfectly. The spider is also pretty good as well.

Do the mixel eyes come in the different colors or are those just extra colors LLD will let you use?

I like this a lot, they look very cute.

Using the diver flippers for the feet was a good idea. They work well.

I took a look at my linear algebra text book and it kind of had an explanation. I'm attaching the two images that kind of show the proof. I'll try to explain some of the stuff in there since I'm not sure how much of the concepts your class has covered or if you know all of the notation.

The first thing is the definition of a Matrix multiplied by a vector. I'm assuming you understand most of he definition. It's basically how we switch between a system of linear equations and a matrix. Where is says x is in Rⁿ, that means the dimension of the vector x, or the number of entries in x. The bottom half is somewhat of a proof for multiplying two matrices.  One note on that is that b₁ - b_n are column vectors like x (without the sub script) while x₁ - x_n are constants.

If you don't really like letters, I redid it it using numbers to show what all the letters are saying. I guess I didn't completely finish, but you should be able to tell that it works out to match the rules for matrix multiplication.

Please let me know if you need additional clarification on any of this.

This is an extremely impressive MOC. It is also one of the most usual creations I have ever seen. It has a nice flow to it that gives it a very organic appearance. The pony tail is nice and Gresh's mask works perfectly for this application. The color scheme also works pretty well. You did a good job blending the blue and the green together.

Overall a very nice MOC. Thank you for sharing.

The foot piece as part of the head is certainly striking. I'm not really sure how I feel about it though. I don't have a problem with the legs, but it seems like the torso might be a little bit too long. I suppose that could be corrected by making the legs longer and thicker. The color scheme is okay. You do a good balancing everything there, but it feels like it's just a little busier then it should be.

I think it's an interesting moc and the head definitely makes it stand. Thank you for sharing.

I can see why they dropped it. It's not really going to affect me though, since I've never purchased a Shell LEGO set and there are really any Shell stations where I live.

You did a good job mixing the black and white for the color scheme. The whole moc comes across as well polished and finished. I like the torso, you have some interesting stuff happening there with the armor. Nice job on the back as well, a lot of times that doesn't always get done as well as the front, but you did a nice job on it. There is anything too exciting about the arms and legs, but even so, they still look nice and they work well with the torso.

Overall nice job on this!

The color scheme for both of these is really good. I love the purple. The Ussal crab is really cute. The claws are pretty clever and it looks like they work pretty well.

The mixel eyes are a pretty interesting addition. I like the way they look on Onepu better then the Ussal.

Both of these look okay. Machu is nice, but the transition from the torso to the legs looks kind of weird. The on Macku's back does look kind of out of place, but it doesn't really bother me since you can't see it from the front.

Hewkii's feet look interesting, especially since you were able to use the old Matoran feet. It almost looks like he is wearing boots. You did a good job making the color scheme work with the limited amount of parts available.
