I’m talking MOCs.
Of course it’s been done with Hasbro’s products. They can mold parts however they wish to make a transformation work.

Since literally all of my opinions have been stated, I’m gonna have to agree with @LelouchViBritannia, @StudentScissors, and @SammySpartan on this.
I blame the Notification Glitch with my Latenesses

I was going to complain about the tail design and a couple other things on the dragon, but then when I saw that it transformed so well, I completely forgave them. That being said, my two problems are
- The gears on the face with the four exposed pins. I realize it’s probably used in the transformation, but they look kinda like weird eyes. If you can, remove the pins, but the gears are fine.
- The gun on the back of his head in humanoid mode. Again, needed in transformation, but maybe you could find a way to make it stick out less? I can’t think of how at the moment.
Oh, and a side note on how to improve the humanoid’s head. Maybe try some sort of “hair” coming from it. Usually I wouldn’t suggest this, but some tubing and/or spikes coming down like hair could look cool and add uniqueness. Just an idea to toy around with. Its a pretty good moc, and it’s almost great. Just tweak a couple things and you’re there.

I added it as a bit of coverage for jaw gaps back during a parts shortage, and later on I just kinda…left it there. Now that you mention it, it’s probably an easy fix.

Never considered this, but it’s an interesting idea. Unfortunately, I don’t have many spikes left, and little-to-no tubing. But hey, I’m getting more into Bricklink as of late, so I may start sprucing up this and other MOCs more. Already got a new mask (the Noble Miru) for my Toa of Air that better matches his color scheme and bulk.
A awesome build all round, and plus GUNFACE FOR THE WIN!
Well done.

Yeah, well if you did it right it could really help it stand out and almost give it like a predator look, which would be awesome.

Colors could be better in dragon mode.
I don’t like the orange eyes in human mode. Ehlek head is always sweet though.
Gun feels too cumbersome.
Really like, but have trouble rating.

I love that Beast-Mode, it looks fantastic. I don’t like the Robot-Mode, bu-
Did you give him a gun-face?
You did. 10/10.
But seriously, I don’t like the Robot-Mode. I’d have to give this a 7/10.

I like it! Perhaps a bit jumbled as people have said, but the transformation and gunface are pretty great. I’d say 8/10 or thereabouts.

The color scheme could use some gradient or blending, but I know the limitations of parts, so I can’t really complain too much about that.
It does seem a tad cluttered, most likely due to the aforementioned color issue and the mixing of textures. However, that’s a hard thing to maintain, particularly in larger mocs and on a lower budget, so I can personally forgive that, since I have the same issues.
Many Barraki parts suffer from the fact that their colors were never used again, and Ehlek’s head REALLY sticks out. Also the texture of it is kinda weird in comparison to what you seem to have going, so I’d attempt a custom head or something. Parts limitations aside, that’s a very noticeable issue, and anything that can be done to fix it would be good.
Despite all the criticism, I really like the moc! I’ve always loved those wing pieces, and the way they become a cape looks sick. Gun head? The only question there is “why not?” When I saw it transformed I jumped back a little, that’s always hard to do, even a transformation as simple as moving the head and standing it up backwards (i.e. the Vahki) is hard to execute well, as one or both forms usually end up looking bass-ackwards or last-minute, so props there. Lime and black is a solid combo, my only recommendation would be to replace any silver you can with lime, black, or gunmetal, but that’s a minor concern.
I don’t do number ratings, just pros and cons, but I really like it overall! Good job!

The Silver is concentrated. -5
Red pins. -5
Custom. +5
Somewhat blue nipples. +5 /jk
The Color Scheme. It burns! -5
He looks epic. +20
BONUS ROUNDS:Visible Blue Pins. -3 for each.
I’ve counted 6. -18
Total: -8. It’s still better than mine, but could be stronger in areas. Keep on trying, or in your case, don’t do dis.

Thanks. Truth be told, I’ve been trying to improve my transforming Bionicles over the years. The earlier ones definitely had that vide of half-***ing one mode or the other, but I’ve managed to smoothen out some of them, like my Toa of Fire car.
Which I should probably post at some point.

I guess it’d be a worth a shot to try making a custom head.
As for the color scheme, given how vital parts of the MOC are silver (like the wings), there’s not much I can do about that, except maybe try distributing it more evenly.
However, I can at least attempt to remove as much Metru-green as possible.

I really like his dragon mode but robo form could use some polishing. All of my complaints have been beaten to death so all I’m gonna say is that I really like it but it needs some polishing.

I got to admit this is pretty good.
But the Ehlek face looks out of place and the torso looks too fat and small.

I do love the beast, but I find the Bioformer part ridiculous even for G2. By the way, the stone that Ekimu is standing on in the first photo, is that some sort of old temple ruins or sacred tunnel entrance?
