Gitaxian Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) Entry Image I wanted to do something that just couldn't be done, or at least not done well, without CCBS parts. I decided to go for a Matoran because the smaller CCBS limbs give a lot more flexibility on such a small scale. He's actually about 2 modules shorter than a protector.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 The creator of the Boxer? Ah he looks so cute.... Looks like you did a nice little MOC there. What is that in his right hand?

Gitaxian Posted February 19, 2015 Author Share Posted February 19, 2015 The creator of the Boxer? Ah he looks so cute.... Looks like you did a nice little MOC there. What is that in his right hand?It's an orange Lehrak staff from a power miners set with a gunmetal rounded shoulder armor attachment. Here's some more pictures of the build: Back view Without Armor and Weapons Alternate Pose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacks Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Aw, I love this lil' dude. The orange lehrak staff makes a really good tool/weapon -- it looks like some sort of zappy drill thing. The only possible improvement I could think of would be to either make his shoulders broader, or his torso shorter. He looks a bit tall and reedy, even with the armor.

Also Matoran are known for being a little stockier by design so having a lanky and thin Matoran may not go over as well. I don't think you can make him any shorter, so expanding his shoulders to widen his profile may be your next best bet.

It was the weapon that inspired me to go with Nuparu in the first place - up until I found that part all I knew was that I wanted to make a matoran using the torso build. I probably should have gone with a shoulder build closer to the protector of earth, but I wanted to push to see how small of a torso I could make. The claw is there as a sort of roll cage around the visible gear pattern on the top of the torso to go with the power-miners-inspired aesthetic.

RahiSpeak Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 Win or lose, you have created hands-down the most adorable entry in this contest! It is generally agreed upon that that "drill" was done pretty well but I am most impressed with the feet; I have never seen anyone use armor-shells like that before. 1 Quote Bionicle Story Group (BSG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everspark Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I like your entry. Maybe you could use some armor on the legs, but it looks awesome overall. Originally I've started with a concept of Nuparu as a Matoran as well, but I came up with a too non-humanoid leg design, so I've dropped the idea. Though it had a strong resemblance of the original Tohunga legs. In the end I switched to Zaria. Have a good luck int he contest! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This is cute but doesn't scream Matoran to me... As others have said he's too tall and thin while at the same time the torso doesn't really seem to work. The shoulders and hips in Matoran are almost half that distance apart so it just makes his torso too long. Also you should probably lose the thighs completely and just give him a single piece leg to help with height. Remember how the matoran basically had feet attached directly to their hips? They certainly didn't have knees The arms are probably fine but they should pobably be posed into more of a bearhug stance as that's what Matoran have always looked like in the past, rather than having arms that hang they have wide embracing arms. Would love to see this entry with those few changes made...

Mr. Cup of Fail Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 This looks more like a Turaga more then a Matoran, I really don't like the body and the head to be honest, I think it would be better to use the master head and put orange on other part of the body. The feet I think would be a lot better as the beast feet then those and weapon is a meh.

Millennium Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 A very creative MOC, that orange Lerahk staff is best used here. Tiny and awesome, his back looks kinda weird, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
