Wavrahk

[Makuta Almanax]

Okay, first MOC I'm posting here. It's a Rahkshi built from scratch with a Silver Body and Black limbs. I did want to give it a specific power, but when I checked the list of Rahkshi powers alongside the colour schemes I was rather depressed that I couldn't find one that matched. The closest was Chain Lightning, which uses a silver body with silver limbs. I wasn't sure that it was the power I wanted to use, though. While I made up a 43rd power based on Sonics for the upload of this on my dA, here I'd rather leave the floor open to suggestions on its power.

 

Anyway, Wavrahk (named such because of the aforementioned idea of it being a modified Sonics Rahkshi) was an attempt to make a Rahkshi with fully-articulated arms and legs, unlike any of the set versions. I based his design on a different Rahkshi MOC I built which used the yellow Stars Rahkshi's kraata-less body. However, the Wavrahk version needed an actual Kraata Chamber built on it, which made the end result slightly taller, bulkier, and gave it an extra ball joint on the front which I later used to add on a Vacuum Shield 'collar' which reminds me of those Elizabethan pictures.

 

EDIT: Based on feedback, I have made modifications to the legs and added Silver arm-armour. Based on this, I would say it has sufficient silver on its limbs to fit the colour coding for being a Rahkshi of Chain Lightning. Granted that means its name 'Wavrahk' no longer makes much sense, but then again neither does the Rahkshi of Hunger (Vorahk) in comparison to the other 5. Anyway, the pictures are now separated; the original model is 'V.1.0', and modifications are 'V.1.1' and so forth.

yes, I am using this Rahkshi's pose shots to show off other MOCs. What of it?*NOTE: I know the thighs on their own look a tad bland in themselves. I am considering adding silver Bohrok eyes to them to make it look a bit less...boring. Honestly I wish the Rahkshi Thigh piece came in other colours.

 

I greatly appreciate any feedback!

Unique torso design! BTW do you have any of the original rahkshi? Maybe you could replace Wavrahk's leg thighs to the originals? You know if its possible and just a suggestion

Anyways I also like the staff!

Really like the torso and the staff. The legs are a bit bland but I guess the torso makes up for it.

Oh, thanks. I know the legs are a tad bland but I was working with what I had at the time.

I must admit I'm surprised people like the Torso so much.

I do indeed have all of the original Rahkshi. However, their thighs have been mostly distributed into some other MOCs. I think I have a few spare ones lying around, though. The main issue of replacing the thighs with the original Rahkshi ones, though, would be that I would wind up with Triple-Joint legs unless I do some kind of...hm...I think I have an idea. I'll get back to you on that!

 

EDIT: MOC modified and new pictures up on the OP.

I like the staff. The drill tips are pretty creative.

Pretty neat idea using the drills as weapon ends for the staff. It would be awesome if it had a spine blades on its back, but still, pretty cool.
