Batch 3 is probably going to take quite a bit longer than usual mainly because I seem to have misplaced all three of my silver Skull Spider masks for Tohru. I’ve got no idea where they are, so I don’t really know when it’ll be finished until I find one.

In that case, no worries since the Skull Spider mask was meant to be a reforged black and silver Shelek with a scope, so if you have a Shelek you can give it to him. If you can find the Skull Spider mask, that’s good, but the Shelek is also fine.
I promise my self MOC is not a bootleg Dragonax

Dragonax is still relevant?

Really liking what you’ve done so far! Ghid’s is my favourite out of the first batch (that suit is just chef’s kiss), and you did a great job with Zero’s unusual silhouette in the second batch.
If there’s still a chance I’d love to see what you would do with mine 
I’ve had several iterations of this guy sitting on my desk for the last 6-ish years (though he’s a little dusty right now). I call him Warlok: Bohrok of Heavy Ordinance

Okay, I should probably officially critique Round 2 since my first critique got 15 likes and I need the clout.
I mean, my opinion is valuable because I’m so eloquent and intelligent.
No wait, I mean, because… uhm…
Zero: Hot diggidy dog this is one slick boyo. What the original could only dream of doing this MOC does effortlessly. The smooth, athletic form with the articulate shoulder guns and somehow making basic CCBS look refined and delicate… Wow. Fantastic work, and definitely my favorite one here.
Renner: Not as complex as the original - in fact it’s the only instance thus far where the original is decidedly more complex than the remake, but it has the main and obvious advantage over being entirely purist (although I wince at those tubes). But the biggest complaint from me for this one is the lack of thumbs, which is just… It’s saddening, really. I said an eulogy for those thumbs.
Artillery: HAHA N01INPARTICULAR YOU AND YOUR DEFACING PIECES, IT’S PURIST NOW! IT WORKS JUST FINE! YOU AND YOUR DUMB PAINTS MUST FEEL SO STUPID RIGHT NOW
Cough Sorry, I don’t really know what came over me there. Um, the original one uses heavily custom, cut, and painted pieces of all different types, so the main and very significant advantage one this iteration has is only using one custom cloth element. Also, this one uses CCBS hands, while the original was the one lacking thumbs this time around. I would say an eulogy for those thumbs, but I was too busy saying eulogies for literally every other piece there.
Also it’s a Metru build so this could be entered as Kualus with modifications
Sonus: I have the least to say about this one. Not that it’s bad, as it’s better than some of the others, but it’s a generic build which is a heavy improvement off its predecessor, a generic build of noticeably worse quality. But the ab crunch is delicious with the Nuva armor shaping, and I couldn’t go on without mentioning it and continue to pretend I’m a MOCing expert.
…I mean, I’m definitely a MOCing expert. Yep. Uh huh. Definitely.
Jethryn: While the original is undeniably more complex, I feel your version with a slightly smaller scale does the character much more justice. Extremely simple, but compliments the color blocking much better. Unfortunately, it also utilizes a custom hood, but what must be done must be done.
Cordax: My least favorite of this round. Doing a Cordax is incredibly tricky, though, so it’s understandable that the difficulties presented were inhibiting. However if you were to give it a go-over, I would strongly recommend ditching the Vahki hip, as it makes the legs unnaturally wide for that small of a scale. However, it has one significant advantage over the original, in being it’s even smaller. One day Cordax MOCs will be the broken ends of sockets glued together with superglue and the next step from that will be piece shavings assembled on a microscopic scale to truly capture the essence of his being.
In short, good second round. Didn’t have me in it, so clearly inferior to the first, but I highly anticipate the third.

The original has thumbs I’m just too lazy to keep them on half the time.

If I might ask, how is this next batch going? It’s been a hot minute since anyone last posted here.
I’ve got 2/6 done. It’s taking quite a bit longer than usual just because I’ve had a lot going on recently, so I might just post the 2 completed ones early and then the other 4 later.
