Freaking awesome, I say. Weird how it's the same front and back. Kinda looks like a Tahnok Exo-Toa hybrid, in my opinion. With fire.On that note, there isn't much fire here... great MOC nonetheless.

Another nice one Architect. Love the use of Xplode's amor on the legs. On that note, I love the legs. Period. The torso is very nicely designed and I really like it. The arms are seriously awesome and they have an amazing design. Love the simple colour scheme, sticking to 1/2 colours really make the colours shine. I really don't know however, how those puny little feet can make that hug Moc stand up...? I suggest perhaps beefing them up? Nice Moc Architect and good luck in the contest! ~Gravity (Look at my entry below! )

I couldn't think of anything better to do with the back, so I left it identical. And fire? I suppose it could have been more fire-y, but I've seen less fire-y MOCs in the contest that didn't get DQ'd.

Thanks muchly! I did in fact have a lot of trouble with posing it. The XPlode armor actually rests on the feet for stability, and the friction in the knees is almost nonexistent. The MOC is therefore extremely top-heavy and finicky to pose, but I didn't want to use a stand in the photos, which were enough of a hassle to take anyway. I would have made bigger feet, but I was very pressed for time, and custom-building something just wasn't an option when whatever I made might not have looked as good as the Hero feet.

I really like the body and how "Full" it looks. I also like the use of the Xplode armour on the legs. My only complaint is that is doesn't really look like it has a head.

I see plenty of gaps...then again, I made it, so I know where they all are. A head? It doesn't need a head. :3

[FrozenFlash]

The armoring is really nice and the "head" is nicely done. The bulkiness also looks great and by the way, what are those rubber bands on the arms for?

The rubber bands are to hold the armor on at that point. There are no other connections there.

Every part of this MOC is awesome, especially the torso. I wish the rubber bands weren't there, but sometimes the're neccecary. Good luck in the contest!

[Studs Not On Top]

Wow, great coherent look on this robot. Solid build, everything looks like it fits. Pretty cool that it's a mirror image of itself-- you should put another eye in the back of its head!

I finally get a chance to review this. The thing that certainy stands out the most is the symmerty. Not only the side-to-side symmetry but aslo the front-to-back, which can be very difficult to do (and is in fact not done very much). The torso looks very solid and I like the use of the Rahkshi spine bases as well as the other Rahkshi parts; they create very smooth lines for the chest and back. The Metru Nui matoran torsos, while they look pretty cool on the sides, seem to get in the way of the arms. The Hero Factory chest pieces on the top section, however it's a shame about the rubber bands. The light gray pins in the Rahkshi spine pieces stick out a bit, too; black pins might have been a better choice.The legs look have a nice shape to them, although it looks like there is not much movement in the hips. It should make it very easy to stand up, though. The way the Vahki joints attach to the lower legs is very cool but a little exposed. If there was a way to build a shin guard up to there that would have helped with that. The Xplode shoulder armors pieces look very cool on the lower legs and the bright orange/yellow doesn't clash with the rest of the Moc. The Hero Factory feet look good, too, but they might be just a little too small. That is not much of an issue, though.Arms look nice and solid. I like the incorporation of the Bohrok pieces in the shoulders. The only thing that bothers me is the shortness of the lower arms. They look almost stubby, however the Hero Factory parts work well in spite of that.Overall, good job. Hopefully this will be one of the wildcards.
