G2 Style Rahkshi - Magnetism

So a while ago I got the creature of water. I saw the head, and thought of how in G1 the rahkshi head was used over and over again. Also, I’m not a fan of how all rahkshi look basically the same. (Which I’m not sure is cannon, but I am most likely wrong. Actually, could someone tell me if it is?)

So I made this, trying to replicate the style of a rahkshi, but with differing parts.

Front:

I should mention a couple things about the build. It is a custom torso. Not really sure it’s a good one, but it’s custom. Also, the two parts of the jaw move.

The limbs are rather simplistic, due to me wanting to use more of the trans-blue. That, and I don’t have much in the way of making custom limb pieces. I also rather dislike the upper arm armor on this. I’ll probably fix that when I get more silver.

Back:

I made the top of the torso, and then realized that putting a krataa in the armor is probibly a good idea. You can slip a krataa underneath the trans-blue rib piece, and on the 2015 gear box.

Also, the idea with the random blade on the back was that it would be the rahkshi spine…

Unfortunately, I didn’t have anything better.

Side:

So, you remember in the commercials of the rahkshi that they held the blades in their hands, and made the pole go between them? I decided to replicate that by splitting the staff. This way, you don’t have to move the staff piece off the set to get two different weapons.

Split Staff:

So, what do you think? Comments and criticism are always welcome.

i like the legs and back how it still holds a kraata but rahkshi are generally bigger than this, thats my main gripe rahkshi are imposing and violent this guy looks a bit tiny and almost cute.
i made a rahkshi recently would you mind leaving some feedback for me too,

Actually, this was made to be mostly on-scale with the set rahkshi. It is bigger than them though.

Um… Okay, I see that now. Maybe I should post a pic of the jaw open… That might get rid of the cute… maybe… Probibly not.

… I used the “…” a lot in this post…

The head is surprisingly fitting actually

I really like this. It seems like it would be an actual set, due to its simplistic limbs.

I like it, but it seems a bit cute for a Rahkshi.

Nice interpretation!
Since we’ve never seen a G2 rahkshi, none of us can really judge whether it’s accurate or not!
It looks good to me, though!

Not a huge fan of the armour on the upper arms.
