The silver sticks out, and the mask is really weirdly out of place. He looks totally artificial, not just his arm. I like some of the complexity, but he needs work.
Yep. That’s a lot of black. He needs a more prominent accent color, trans orange would probably be a good choice (silver works too, if you can make the build unique enough to compensate for the color choice. I’d suggest taking a look at the MOC that OmegaTahu linked, also, take a look at @CommanderSpencer’s Gellan.
I never knew torsos were the most important part of the MOC.
In all seriousness, I don’t know what you mean by this. It’s a torso. It works like a torso.
There’s some mechanics that you can’t actually see due to the torso plate. I didn’t take a proper picture, but there is an extra shoulder joint with a piece added to lock it in place when it’s out of use.
It looks alright to me, nothing much to critique in my opinion, except that you should probably put a tire on the neck, which would help with it looking odd.
Well, I for one consider the torso to be more important than the limbs, having it represent the structure with the most quality in a MOC, while the limbs are simpler and allow for more articulation-
-what is the context you said this in, I’m not sure
