Vegeta Prince of all Saiyans approves of this rating.

Seriously though he looks like Pohatu on steroids. 10/10

This is awesome! I really can’t think of anything bad to say about this masterpiece of a MOC! Of course the black Vorox armor does stick out a bit, but meh…

I honestly don’t see any resemblance of Pohatu outside the Kakama and Feet additions. If he were to have completely tan arms, legs, and a custom body that is completely brown, then yes he would look like Pohatu. However, the silver and amount of black here, not to mention the axe (I don’t recall pohatu ever wielding an axe), don’t really scream Pohatu to me.

UPDATE: I added a weapon to Stoax’s arsenal

BIO:
The Arthakan High Explosive Cannon

Stoax will find this weapon later on in OPERATION: VINDICTA. It functions similarly to the Incineration Cannon in Halo 4, firing streaks of explosive particles in tight spheres towards a target

weapon seems… messy. And abit too small and clutered. Maybe make it longer and add more space for the handles and it might be better

Can you elaborate on “messy”?

handle feels off… cord might be unecessary… if it’s a two handed weapon it’s too small and if it’s a small one armed weapon it might be to heavy if I take account of your pics…

The cord is actually essential to keeping the bulk helmet on the bottom, and I like the look of it, as though energy would be flowing through the cord. Also, in person, the gun is pretty light and Stoax doesn’t have any pro. But I do agree that the handle feels a little tacked on.

So I’ve been deciding on modifying Stoax slightly. I wanted to modify his arms though wasn’t to sure what to think of them.

The new arm allows for more outwards articulation than the arm with the stringer head. (Note: the blue pin will be changed to black once I order one, and the silver CCBS shell will be changed to brown).

I say go for the new one: You’ll sacrifice some aesthetics and some of the design, but the positives outweigh the negatives

Very sweet!

I like them…

SHOOT MEH!

Well, maybe give him some more…black, get rid of the tan. and maybe change his mask (or just highlight with a sharpie).

Not sure about getting rid of the tan. As for the Kakama, Stoax has always wore that Kanohi so he would look pretty weird without it.

Well, maybe not weird…just different.

I have no idea…

it’s not like you could replace the kakama with any sort of brown mask, right?

Indeed.

Maybe a nuva mask…

or a mata mask…

or a mask.

I tried using Pohatu Nuva’s mask on him but it looked yucky, also tried the noble Matatu (considering that Stoax uses a mask of telekinesis in my story), and I didn’t really like the look of it either. Perhaps I will give him a Kakama with patterns on it.

Kinda like this

Looks good. but maybe make the patterns black?
