This was heavily inspired by some of the Movieverse Transformer designs (especially with Blackout, Brawl and a bit of Shockwave.) I was attempting to give it that intricate and greebly robotic look that a bunch of them had, while trying not to go too overboard on the textures. There’s a lot of smooth and angular surfaces on top of gears, pipes and vents. The bot is also pretty armed to the lense.
Mmmmmmmmm yisss i like this, everything about it is great, the shaping, the greebles, the colours, proportions. The only criticism i have is that the hands are kinda off, theyre too small and the hooks at the ends kinda throw off the very polished aesthetic. This is only a suggestion, but you could try this hand design to fix that
Something about the feet feels a little off, but otherwise this is solid. Ordinarily, such heavy texturing would come off as a bit busy looking, though there’s a definitive layering here that keeps things clean. All the greebly bits are obscured enough by the smoother platings.
Thank you for your advice. I had a feeling that there was something was really off about the hands. I’m not sure if I have enough Exo-Force robot hands left though, so I think I may have to experiment with some other pieces like 1x1 tiles.
This is pretty sick tbh, reminds me of the Tau race in Warhammer 40k! I think the feet stand out as the best part to me. My only issue is his melee weapon. I don’t really think a melee weapon fits his whole being? I don’t really see him flipping and spinning, he seems to be more of a stationary turret kinda guy… It’s a minor thing, but it just stuck out to me as odd …
Anyway, the overall build is just beautiful, well done lad

So I’ve gone and made a few updates to the MoC. They are mainly just minor aesthetic and structural changes, like the longer fingers and various changing in paneling.
There’s a real sense of scale to this MOC, what with all the greebling and the proportions. Wouldn’t look out of place in Pacific Rim, which is where I imagine it.
