So I can’t help but notice all the MOCs of a certain Political_Slime/Nuju on the boards. I and thought to myself, “since i’m this guy, why don’t I rate these”
So I made this thing. I decided to rate these using 5 factors:
Matatu Factor: Whether or not the MOC has the Metru Matatu.
Tie Factor: Whether the MOC has a red tie, an important element.
Originality Factor: The originality of the build.
Avatar Factor: How close the MOC is to my original avatar.
Coolness Factor: Just how cohesive it looks overall. (obviously my own opinion.)
Blue Nipple Bonus Points: MOCs that include blue nipples get extra points.
Also bear in mind that I am critiquing the MOCs and not being biased towards the users who made them. So don’t start a riot if you don’t get the highest score.
@pot8o’s MOC:
[ TtvPodcast.com is for sale | HugeDomains ]
http://board.ttvpodcast.com/uploads/db5640/_optimized/b09/bc1/cad0746a96_375x500.JPG
Matatu Factor: 10/10. This MOC has the Metru Matatu. Nuff said.
Tie Factor: 10/10. The tie is very prominant, and well put together.
Originality Factor: 6.5/10. I give this a lower score, because while it has a somewhat custom torso, the rest is just standard CCBS.
Avatar Factor: 3/10. This MOC lacks a proper suit, and does not have a slime face.
Coolness Factor: 5/10. It’s not a bad MOC, but it is a bit awkward as far as stature goes. (AKA wide shoulders with short arms). There is also the lack of armor on one arm, and the blue stripe on the lower right leg.
Blue Nipple Bonus Points: +5
Overall Score: 39.5/50.
@Matoro’s MOC (Under former name of Makuta Verakion):

http://board.ttvpodcast.com/uploads/db5640/_optimized/e32/233/debcec8fcc_375x500.JPG
Matatu Factor: 10/10. This MOC does indeed have the Metru Matatu.
Tie Factor: 9/10. While rather basic, the tie does exist on the MOC.
Originality Factor: 3.5/10. This MOC is essentially a recolored Toa Metru with a tie. Not necessarily a bad thing, just not very original.
Avatar Factor: 8/10. This MOC is very close to my avatar. The only thing missing is my slime face…
Coolness Factor: 7/10. It’s not a bad MOC, but it doesn’t stand out either.
Overall Score: 37.5/50.
@Political_Slime’s MOC (das me):
[ HugeDomains.com ]
http://board.ttvpodcast.com/uploads/db5640/_optimized/247/667/9295fad90b_690x458.jpg
Matatu Factor: 6/10. Although this MOC TECHNICALLY has a Matatu, it is the Hordika version and doesn’t quite fit the bill. It does get extra points for being mounted on top of the head.
Tie Factor: 0/10. There is no tie on this MOC. At all.
Originality Factor: 5.5/10. Barring the head, this MOC is nothing more than a standard CCBS build.
Avatar Factor: 4/10. This MOC has some elements taken from the original avatar, but does not exactly replicate it. It has the slime face, but does not have the suit.
Coolness Factor: 8/10. OK, I might be biased on this one, but I like the way that it flows together. It also has a good color scheme n’stuff.
Overall Score: 23.5/50.
@MaximumWarp’s MOC:
[ HugeDomains.com ] (Using the most updated version)
http://board.ttvpodcast.com/uploads/db5640/_optimized/050/ce2/529f6e4485_375x500.JPG
Matatu Factor: 10.5/10. This MOC not only has a Metru Matatu, but also mounts it on top of the head (where it belongs).
Tie Factor: 10/10. This MOC has a very unique and interesting tie.
Originality Factor: 7/10. This MOC is both a mix of original and unoriginal, with basic limbs, but a very specialized head and torso.
Avatar Factor: 9.5/10. This MOC nearly perfectly represents my avatar, with a suit and a slime face.
Coolness Factor: 6/10. I mainly don’t like the super skinny limbs, and the face is 2spooky4me
Overall Score: 43/50.
@Nyran’s MOC:

http://images.mocpages.com/user_images/95405/1411845333m_SPLASH.jpg
Matatu Factor: 10.5/10. This MOC, as with MaximumWarp’s MOC, has the Matatu placed on top of the head, earning extra points.
Tie Factor: 0/10. This MOC has a lack of a tie, which is saddening to me.
Originality Factor: 9/10. This MOC is almost entirely custom, with the arms being the only standard part of the build.
Avatar Factor: 7.5/10. This MOC has a slime face, but does not entirely capture the feel of a business suit.
Coolness Factor: 8/10. I really like the MOC for reasons I can’t explain. Some cons that I have for it are the red axles in the legs, as well the legs themselves since they use a non-purist technique. (Even though technically it could be considered purist as the Toa Kaita Wairuha used the technique).
Blue Nipple Bonus Points: +5
Overall Score: 40/50.
So there you have it folks. Did I give the right scores? Feel free to give your comments/thoughts/rants about this topic below.
Also I’d love to see a perfect 50/50, so if you want to attempt to MOC me/upgrade your current Political_Slime MOCs, go right ahead! It’s like a trend or somethin.
