(Note: work in progress, please leave ideas for improvement.)
This is a Toa of steel I am currently working on. I would like some input on what to improve and make better. Through building time I will name him and give him a backstory as well.

Interesting, maybe add more chains.
I’m sure that will give him an edge in battle!

I’m not going to lie, this doesn’t remind me of a Toa. But other than that, it looks good if a bit simple.
Is it the mask? I do want to Dwight the mask up…
That, and he just has a certain look to him. I can’t quite put my finger on it though.
Give him some chest armor.
Alright, well it can definitely pull that look off. That chest armor does help.
Yeah any ideas?
Lower the shoulders and add large pauldrons similar to kopaka-15(though probably use a different shell), I think that would help with the brutish look you’re going for.
Firstly, remove the red ball joints on the gearbox. It really breaks the color scheme.
Second, I would recommend bigger feet, to help with the hordika look.
As for a name, Metalos sounds cool. (I’m bad with names)
Aside from a possible lack of specific parts and colors, is there a reason why one of his lower legs is light grey instead of black?
Ok I will see and just to clarify @Payinku you mean the upper shell kopaka g2 used on his legs, and I want the hunched brute look,
@Toa_Distraxx how about the clawed feet?
Also those will be changed I think I have some black sitting around.
@Timageness if you mean the shin armor both are the same color.

I’d add a secondary colour so he looks a bit more alive and less like a totally robotic guy.
^^^ What he said.
I’d recommend orange (then again, maybe not :P)
Looks pretty cool. Really nice to see a Hordika MOC of all things, and I overall like the look of him. And that name DEMANDS attention.

No, I mean the way his shoulders look, there are exposed ball joints on the chest anyway, put some size-1 or 2 bones on them and bulk up the shoulders with some paw shells.
I was actually referring to the light grey CCBS bone used for his lower left leg.
It’s visible in Pictures #1, 2, 4, and 6, but only slightly in 7 and 8.
Due to lack of finding the machting piece, it is hiding in my lego system bins…
@TheMightyObsidianDude and @SirIggs
I have gunmetal as secondary at the moment due to steel being a light grey so that would be his main color with gunmetal as secondary
@ThatchMac thanks if you look in the comments you will see the origin of the name.
