Pretty nice overall. The use of the Metru heads, though creative, make for a pretty awkward shoulder connection.

Remember this?
I made some slight improvements, folded one of the legs, and took pictures from more angles. In Keerakh colors because reasons.

A while back, I got Grievous.
I decided to experiment, and this was the result. Unnamed female Toa of Plasma, and a member of the Kakama Master Race. Never got around to taking pictures until now, but sheās been sitting on my shelf for a good six or seven months.
Side view. Sheās armed with Backwards Lightsabers Plasma Jet Rods. Ideally, her eyes would also be Trans-Apple Green to match with them, but unfortunately the Metru eye piece never came in that color. And while Iām fairly happy with the way her feet look from the front, I wish they didnāt wind up sticking out as far in back. Oh well.
Nyran shot. While I tried to stick to Grievousās pieces as much as possible, there were some spots where I had to bring in pieces from my broader collection, and the upper back is a particularly excessive case of that. Her neck is unfortunately rather fragile, with her head rather prone to falling off. RIP.
The scarf-tube things I see as being heat funnel release things, piping away excess heat so her internals donāt melt - a danger for those of the fire and plasma elements.
Skeleton shots. Her lower body is actually pretty simple, but her upper body was a pain to figure out. Aside from the neck, Iām pretty happy with the result, though.
Itās kind of hard to see here, but these were intended to show off her waist swivel. While it is somewhat limited by the armor piece on her back, it still works well enough.
And finishing things off with a cool pose. Aw yea.
Overall, while there are things I wish Iād done better with this, despite my decision to limit my piece palette, Iām fairly happy with how this turned out, and I think I achieved the aesthetic I was going for.
But as the creator, my perspective is of course somewhat inherently skewed, so what do you think?

Today I bring you my crappy, cobbled-together-in-five-minutes (yet somehow took over a year for me to actually take pictures of) @Political_Slime MOC, made mainly using bits from my little brotherās hero factory sets.
http://i.imgur.com/jnIgASX.jpg
Heās armed with the Political_Jackhammer and a revolver
Heās got a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

The only part of the build that isnāt just straightforward CCBS, and even then itās not exactly complex.
Anyway, this was originally intended to be for Slimeās birthday, but I realized I donāt actually know when that is, so uh
Yeah
Iām sorry for this crap

DUDE YOU COULD NOT HAVE TIMED THIS BETTER MY BIRTHDAY IS TODAY

In seriousness, this is cool. A shame you couldnāt mount the Matatu on the head, but itās still good.

RIP
Iām glad you like it!
Maybe when I have more time Iāll make a better one. ^_^;
Yeah. I was considering just plugging into the top, but with the ball socket in the condition it wasā¦ Yeah, wouldnāt really have worked out. 
The plastic quality of the 08/09 sets was fantastic, wasnāt it?

The awaited day has come.
The Base
https://i.imgur.com/pprAfFE.jpg
Front view. A fairly simple build, and a bit of an ugly one at that if Iām perfectly honest.
https://i.imgur.com/7Me0oe4.jpg
Side view. Doesnāt look like much, does it?
https://i.imgur.com/QEwAS8f.jpg
Nyran shot. Why am I subjecting you to this?
https://i.imgur.com/zVlPqAf.jpg
And hereās an awkward pose to show of its flexibility, itās seeming single redeeming trait. Again, why am I bothering with this?
Because this isnāt the actual MOC.
Accessories

This is the MOC.
Phase I
https://i.imgur.com/Or7bV2I.jpg
With the addition of a handful of pieces, this ugly frame is suddenly turned into a freshly-awoken Toa of Ice, ready to find masks and fight evil, and heās all out of masks.
https://i.imgur.com/JEwwBkF.jpg
Comparison with a certain Onu-Matoran inventor. I think the scale works out for them pretty well.
https://i.imgur.com/OmTNmxU.jpg
Also, he has weapon storage! And itās reachable by his actual arm!
Phase II
https://i.imgur.com/7C2jmzs.jpg
But wait, thereās more! By changing out some of the pieces, you can turn him from a spindly Mata to a better-armored Nuva!
https://i.imgur.com/2UnIKNe.jpg
https://i.imgur.com/oXq3g1C.jpg
Similarly to before, he still has weapon storage.
https://i.imgur.com/kSDkMqi.jpg
Itās a bit of a stretch to get to the far one and he looks rather uncomfortable doing it, but it can be done.
"Donāt mind me, just using this back scratcher. I can never get that one spotā¦
https://i.imgur.com/dOP4io6.jpg
But the old sword still works with the skates!
https://i.imgur.com/LrCG0ul.jpg
And so Adrenaline Mode was retroactively added to G1.
Phase III
https://i.imgur.com/ECP83bH.jpg
While not as beloved, his Phantoka Incarnation can also get in on the action, with the addition of his Midak Skyblaster, a pair of wings, and that ugly, ugly mask.
https://i.imgur.com/ufZyq33.jpg
The wings attach to his spear storage bits. Sadly, the Skyblaster canāt be stored due to its absurd and obnoxious sizeā¦
https://i.imgur.com/qPHBbNO.jpg
But with some slight adjustment, everything else still can!
Mix And Match
https://i.imgur.com/zmW3j9D.jpg
The best part of this, in my opinion, isnāt just being able to recreate the canon looks, but choosing the best of all worlds.
https://i.imgur.com/c9q8r1k.jpg
Personally, I favor the Adaptive Armor configuration, but with the original Akaku and his classic Mata and Nuva weapons.
https://i.imgur.com/w8j3406.jpg
And fancy that, this setup still gives him that Adrenaline mode.

āUhā¦ good Matoran. Have a headpat or something.ā
āYouāre patronizing me, arenāt you? I feel like youāre patronizing me.ā

āNo, stay back.ā
Wrap-Up
https://i.imgur.com/J0hv8F7.jpg
All in all, it isnāt my most amazing MOC, or even a particularly good one, from a pure building perspective.
https://i.imgur.com/2T10Ayq.jpg
But as a simple but limber platform for a variety of possible armor addons, I think it becomes quite a fun way to combine three disparate incarnations of a character into one.

āWashed and chilled.ā

Frankly, I wish I could have done something more with the lower arms and lower legs; this wonāt exactly outdo modern CCBS at its own game.
https://i.imgur.com/XySMKIx.jpg
But for what it is, I like how it turned out.

Oh, and before anyone asks, it is more-or-less possible to store every single accessory somewhere on his person. It isnāt elegant, but it can be done.

IMO they donāt look great with the Mata armor but they work with all the other armor sets so eh what are ya gonna do?

Iāve been waiting to see this moc for over 2 years lol, nice build.

Yeah. I would honestly prefer to used the Metru Legs for those, but those are just a tad too long and donāt work as well with the shield.
Thanks! And again, thanks for the mask to make it happen!
