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.
