Is the shield too much? I couldnāt resist after seeing how perfectly it fits on his back.

In my opinion, yes, a little

Hmā¦ Iād strongly suggest changing at least a few things:
a) Torso
Iād remove those rock armor addons and rotate the CCBS shells theyāre currently attached to so that they are seen from the side while looking at the MOC from the front.
b) Upper arms:
I know doing something with two silver Pakaris is tempting, but they donāt fit in here colourwise, so Iād remove them. The Metru shoulder armor also is not very pretty to look at at the meoment. Depending on the core build of the upper arm Iād suggest something like this maybe:
c) Upper legs:
If you can, use different armor here. Itās not too bad, I guess, but those Knights Kingdom shoulders look a little weird used like that.
d) Theā¦ carapace?
Definitelyā¦ interesting. Looks actually quite good from the back but not from the sides. I see the problem of it not aligning well with the torso, but in my opinion using a Nuva chest like you did to bridge that gap is not a good option, either. Maybe you can figure something else out?
Just in case - youāre required to create a seperate topic with the finished MOC. Also I wonāt be notified if you edit a post in this topic, so when you come up with a name better post it seperately from this post.
Also make sure that you have at least one front picture with the entire MOC on it.

I donāt know why theyāre so horribly distorted
[/quote]
Theyāre just rotated so itās kinda fine.
What I do to fix things is opening the pictures in the correct orientation in Paint first, saving them, and then uploading them.
So, your MOC - I love interesting colour schemes, but it will be tough to revamp such a MOC from my side 
All in all I like what I see. But Iād suggest making the MOC taller - presently it looks more like a Toa than a Makuta. Iād add one or two units in length to the torso and two to both the lower and the upper legs. Thatās definitely just my suggestion, though - the MOC definitely is complex enough to fit the project rules.

Thanks for the insight! I tried extending the lower legs by a length, but they made the thighs look disproportionate, and Iām really happy with the thighs, so ended up letting it be. I did my best to make him look more regal to compensate for his stature, though, and standing next to an average Toa, he looks decently evolved in my opinion. Iāll also say that I havenāt found a secure way to attach the stud launcher on his shoulder, and might just take it off along with the trans-orange chain. ( I should really take better pictures; he looks quite different in-hand).
Day 2 progress:
(Thereās a Vorox head as a part of his armour-skirt on the other side, and I intend to buy another one to finish it)
And here below complared to an average Toa:
The lower arms are completely a WIP, by the way.

Looking good! Iād maybe leave the purple out of the colour scheme, though. Tan, silver and black are enough in my opinion.

Yep I have read the rules
Alright, then Iāll put you on the list for a non-canon male Makuta.

Iāve been working on a backstory for my Makuta recently (My favourite part 
), and I have a couple ideas in the works. One of them I thought Iād bring to you to see if it fits the project. If it doesnāt, thatās okay, I do have other ideas. Hereās the short of it:
Lots of island realms have been added for the project; Iāve invented a city instead. Anchredge Bay is a bustling city-port located on the northern tip of the Southern Continent, where it receives shipments from Stelt, the Northern continent from around the Peninsula, and, on occasion, even Metru Nui. Certain Matoran of Anchredge Bay are responsible for delivering these goods and shipments along the western shore of the Southern Continent (Stelt handles the eastern shore), through express waterways to their designated coastal settlements. Moreover, Anchredge Matoran utilize various inland routes that lead deep into the Southern Continent, and connect with the large cities to the west of Mount Valmai and the Deadlands that would later come to be known as Voya Nui. These inland routes are perilous, however, for the wooded hills and valleys south of the Northern Coast play host to dangerous Rahi, predatory outlaws, and, on occasion, even Dark Hunters. The Deadlands below this region are unsurprisingly desolate and harsh, and due to the nature of these conditions, Toa are regularly dispatched to accompany any necessary journeys these Matoran may make to the big cities. The seafaring trips are far safer, luckily, for the western coastline is continually monitored and surveyed, and the regular Matoran settlements along it are quick to alert. These seafaring voyages end at Kumo-Nui on the western coast (Makuta Aveciousā Island, which lies just above the Tren Krom River), and Kumo Nui sub-distributes what remains to the nearby settlements.
(If you look at the canon map of the MU, itāll be easier to visualize. Itās just to the left of the left-tip of Voya Nui, along the top ridge of the southern Continent.)
The Makuta Iām working on (Presently unnamed) oversees Anchredge Bay, and Anchredge Bay alone. There are several reasons for this unique situation.
Anchredge Bay, while a secondary port to Stelt, is still a key point of access to the majority of the Southern Continent, and thus, individuals such as the Dark Hunters and Barraki might be inclined to exploit this potential. The Barraki did so, in fact, and their initial capture of the City allowed their armies to expand quickly. Moreover, the Bay is isolated due to the surrounding wilderness to the south, and due to that regionās foggy, dark nature, beings unfriendly to the MAtoran, and thus, MAta Nuiās mission, have ferquently gathered there across history. It is for the relative importance, high poulation, isolated geography from the other northern settlements, and precarious position of Anchredge Bay that Makuta Miserix assigned my Makuta to the city alone, and another Makuta to the broader area of the north of the ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā ā .

This sounds definitely interestingā¦ Iāll have to talk with the RSG people about this, though, before I can say go ahead or best come up with something else. I like it so far, thoughā¦
What Iād definitely say, though, is that this wouldnāt be an assigned region, but rather your Makuta would fulfill some form ofā¦ āambassadorā function. (Makuta Akima who is assigned to the Northern Region of the Northern Continent doesnāt care too much about her assigned region anyway).
EDIT
So far no issues from RSGās side, although the cityās name should be something in Matoran.

Dope! If you or anybody has any suggestions for the name Iād be up to hear them, though perhaps it would be best to wait until I flesh out itās history and culture a little bit, and we can base it on that.
Thisāll be a pretty minor part of the Makuta topic, though, and on my actual entry Iāll have a short version of his backstory (along with a backstory about the size of Aveciousā and Sidoshiās for anyone who ops to read it) so that I donāt put up massive walls of text for anyone that isnāt interested in that sort of thing
Edit:
Took out the purple, and re-built the wing attachments (which you canāt see from the front, but the wings are visibly higher on his back). Still not sure what to do with the lower arms.

If you can manage to make the upper arms end in balljoints that should help. Otherwise the best solution I can think of for the lower arms would be limb pieces - but those would definitely be too longā¦
A little more tan in the lower legs and the torso area would also be a good idea in my opinion.

I sort of want to take one of those two spots, as I still have one slot left. Though I feel like maybe I should wait for someone else, as Iāve already made two Mocs for this project. But I really want to see the project completed!
Given that your last entry looked really good, I donāt have any issues with you claiming another spot, if you want?

Thanks! Iāll take that spot then. Would you mind if I used my self Moc with heavy upgrades? If not, I still have many ideas left.
Iāll put you on the list.
As long as it looks good you can do what you think works best.
