As already mentioned, this was supposed to be a Pohatu revamp. But Inika torsos don’t exist in brown, I believe.
So this happened.
After I finished the main build, I realized that he looks like a Bionicle version of a certain human character I made up for a story I’m writing, which explains his name. I changed the gender though.
Using a Metru Torso for a hip joint is certainly an interesting and bold move. Is there any way you can keep the gears from turning while still keeping it as part of the MOC?
@Charassy Awesome design! I love how the claw and bohrok eye parts wrap around the shoulders. The inverted metru torso is pretty cool. Looks more bestial than anything else with the long claws and wide yet lanky proportions, but works really well.
Love all the neon-orange pieces, they fit very well, especially with the large amount of them. Only problems I have are (as you said) blue pins and the grey pieces between the legs and the feet. I don’t know what Honetia would look like a little shorter so I may be wrong on this assumption but I (personally) think Honetia would look better without them.
A pretty creative usage of the Metru torso. The Kalmah armor pieces on his thighs kinda throw off the consistency of the texturing, but this is solid otherwise.
I thought about using Metru torsos for hips on some of my own MoCs in the past, but never ended up doing so, mostly because I always assumed that they’d all come out looking absolutely ridiculous and goofy.
This, however, is not only freaking awesome, but has also caused me to seriously reconsider the idea in its entirety. Keep up the good work!
. But I don’t need to now thank you.
