So, after the complete disaster of my Matoro Mahri REVAMP ( Matoro Mahri REVAMP - #7 by Novel) and the moderate success of my moc: Matoro, Mata Nui’s Chosen( Matoro, Mata Nui's Chosen), I decided to scrap the revamp of Matoro and use some of the parts to revamp my somewhat successful moc.
The first thing to notice Is I went all out on the blue pins this time, my explanation for this is that they are blue lights, I tried to seal the deal by adding blue studs. I also broke up the original color scheme by replacing some gray and silver with white. To help tie in more of the blue, I changed the silver air hose from the Mahri revamp to a clear and blue. I kept the weapons and dual mode functions the same.
By the way, I was debating on how to build the legs with the armor. It would be great if you guys would leave your opinion on which layout looks better.
The entire thing is a mess, theres so much random stuff piled on him, and the custom torso is just a brick with a chest plate on it.
If you’re going to revamp an official character make it look like the official character, just with more custom stuff as if the set had a bigger parts budget.
I think it could use some revision and finer tuning (there are a lot of clashing textures), but I gotta say, I love how the shield looks, despite the connection it uses being a bit questionable.
There’re a lot of parts sticking out randomly and, though it looks better than last time, the technic is still offputting and it gets rid of most of the personality the set had.
