"Hatred"

Ooooh, interesting. I like how you’ve expanded on the Zyglak concept. However, the colours are starting to feel very muddled. It’s hard to tell what’s going on.

Check out how @Sokoda adapted the Zyglak in his System revamp:

White head, red torso (with sparse light blue highlights, dark blue lower body and black feet (with silver flaws). Grouping your colours more consistently will do so much to clean up the entire MOC.

I have used–if not ever single species/race–almost every single race in Gen1 Bionicle for one character or another. Zyglak was one of the earlier ones since I felt bad for them, given their general lack of use.

As for the build…I was going to blame my camera, which is part of the issue, but I definitely see your point. It looks a bit less cluttered to me in person, but should have done more to make it visually easier to see on my little camera. I’ll keep it more actively in mind in the next ones.

This is easily one if the best combo model revamps I have ever seen!

While I definitely appreciate you like it so much, but, my dude, there is so much you need to see! Take this Zyglak revamp by The_Wanderer

The Zyglak

“Shunned by their creators and hated and feared throughout the Matoran Universe, the savage Zyglak retreated to the dark places of the universe, such as ruins, and the underground recesses of Voya Nui, brooding over their fate and hating the Matoran and all who honored Mata Nui.” [image] [image] [image] [image] Gallery The goal here was to update the Zyglak, but also keep that weird and alien look to it that the original had.

Easily blows “Hatred” out of the water. Though on another note, he’s technically not a revamp…Well…Hm. Where would he fall under? He’s supposed to be a mutated member of the Zyglak, so he’ll look similar as a result…And revamps are…I’ll have to come back to this thought.

Honestly–and I don’t mean to be a hater–this just looks super cluttered. I can’t tell how the legs are supposed to go, the colors aren’t balanced out, it just looks like a jumbled mess of parts clapped together for its own sake. There’s some really fun design elements here, like adding a head on the tail; but, ultimately, it doesn’t look cohesive.

I don’t take negativity or dislikes as hate, merely learning experiences if the reasons given are well thought out. And I say you have taken the time to write out a decent explanation as the problems found within this MOC.

Admittedly, the legs are the weakest part. I ultimately was unsure of what direction to go or how close to stay to the original in that area. I definitely didn’t want to make them straight, but didn’t want to completely reuse the combiner model design.

Though on one hand, it not entirely being cohesive is a bit of the point. Not to say it’s an excuse for it being difficult to make it, that’s in-cohesive gone too far. It’s just to say that Zyglak are mistakes and freaks, and “Hatred” is one mutated even further. So he’s going to lack cohesion to a certain degree, just perhaps too far in this instance.
