How would you redesign something?

Say, if you were given the chance to redesign something, say a character, some gear, a suit of armor, a ship, ETC, you could describe how you’d change it here. For example: Changes I would make to a clone trooper armor would be to keep the smooth head from Republic commandos, add a few intricate designs onto the lower arms and legs, beef up some parts of the design and give them a more diverse belt and colorscheme.

Now list what would you change

And I’d make Antroz and the other Makuta have better builds.

Well, in MOC’ing, I’d just keep changing around things until I found a certain way that looks right to me, then I’d try and refine that by making it as neat and compact as possible. That’s currently the stage I am at with my self-MOC, it had one version which I liked the design of and then I drew inspiration from other sources and worked on it. Currently its in a third phase of condensing the pieces to make it neater, lighter, etc…

I guess its a continuing level of analysing what you want to change and then doing so while keeping the core concept intact - as there is a point where your redesign can become a completely separate entity.

Step 1 is really deciding what sort of redesign do you want, do you want a realistic design for the storm trooper? If so go with a military design for inspiration on what to change.

I suppose the best reference I could possibly give about redesigning something would be the below video about re-designing Doctor Octopus for Spider-man 2. Its basically talking a lot about the idea of a silhouette (2:34) and how they adapted the character while retaining the basic designs.

Complete Genocide! Oh what not disclosed, okay.

I would redesign the armor in Halo 4 to make them more look like their past versions.
For Bionicle Gen2 I would:
Make Skull Basher have 1 axe instead of 2.
Make Skull Basher, Skull Warrior, Skull Scorpio, and Skull Slicer replace their translucent orange parts with a different colored part.
Make Kopaka have a silver chest instead of a golden chest.

I would redesign Hewkii Mahri so that he has identical arms. Also, I would completely erase the squid launchers from existence and give some of the Barraki extra melee weapons (if necessary).

CCBS is almost completely perfect to me

I would have prefered the new sets to cover up the balljoints, as for the even newer sets
Scorpio needs major overhauling, all he needs is ccbs legs, and he will be alright to me

Slicer on one hand, actually needs a lot of refinement
Such as making his four arms without the gearbox
I don’t care that he uses a silver SS mask, I need them anyways
remove its orange too

Warrior is close to perfect, nothing I want to change really, same with Basher

Grinder needs more work, maybe something similar to grevious

Ekimu is A+

Old sets:
roodaka needs better everything, same with sidorak
the mata should be completely different
I cannot list all the old sets I want to redesign though

I would definitely redesign the US economy…

Probably the pods from War of the Worlds (The OG book, not the movies) I mean, tripods are ridiculous. If you’re an interplanetary species, why would you use tripods as your transportation style? That sounds incredibly problematic and inefficient.
