So sophisticated, amazing MOC. What surprised me the most is that although you used so many system pieces, they don’t make me feel mismatched at all.

You are actually using system pieces to design and create new bionicle parts!

Thank you @ToaVictor ! :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

Using system piece is so hard, but Since when I saw its circle pattern, I felt that I must to using it for new expression of Matoran Universe’s culture designing!
I’m so glad you like it! :blush: :blush: :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

I absolutely love your take on Helryx’s tubes getting gradually refined down until they’re just small decals on the Mata’s limbs; reminds me of the evolution of the Cybermen in Doctor Who.

I also like how you’re taking advantage of it being 2021, rather than limiting yourself to just G1 era pieces/techniques. Even with the amount of system integrated, he still fits the aesthetic of G1 just fine.

Thank you @Timeline15 ! :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

I really like Orde’s character, so I did all I can! :wink: :revolving_hearts:
Also, I was worried about how much I could challenge G1 aesthetics with System, but I’m glad you liked it! :rofl:

Thank you @Zarian ! :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:
Just like I drew in the concept sketch, I had a lot of trouble trying to realize a waist structure that would be inherited by Mata and others from a very early stage.
However, I am happy to be able to build it in this way in reality! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :blush: :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

Extremely cool, and I like how you factored the subtle building lore into all this.

Man everything about this is awesome! I’m not a fan of the canon contests but if this moc wins I’ll be more than happy with the results. I can’t really find anything wrong with it, I just want to build it now.

Looks like a ton of thought was put into his design. Looks fantastic, of course. I’d be pretty disappointed if this rendition doesn’t get canonized. Feels too good to pass up.

Personally I don’t tend to use much System in Bionicle MOCs as I think it can look out of place. In this case though using system to mimic the pistons & actuators of molded Bionicle pieces was a genius idea, and it looks fantastic.

I’m glad you included the close-up shots of the lumbar ‘actuators’, as that’s probably my favourite detail on the MOC. I’m also happy you include some of your research, as it really shows how much work goes into it!

As far as the Orde contest goes, I really need to up my game haha.
Fantastic job :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes: :+1:

By the way, I didn’t mention it in the description, but the armor on his back was inspirated by the shape of the armor worn by Matorans and ToaNuva in the MoL movie version! :wink: :blush: :revolving_hearts:

I am very much looking forward to “Play well!” with you at the Orde contest! :wink: :heart_eyes:

Thank you @BionicleBoss !! :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:

This is very glad comment for me! thank you! :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:
However, I have no confidence in my ability to build a better Orde at this point, and my imagined Orde basically exists in no other style than this one.(Off course, at least now) :wink:
Besides, considering that the Kualsi that is clearly designed after the Vahki head (since the Iruini was originally designed as a Nidhiki), and that the contest itself may change the mask in the art section, “building a completely new MOC because it may change” seems a bit unrealistic, though not a bad thing.

This may not be the case, however, if the rule is changed so fatally that the result of the modification is predicted to be a state of degradation that you are dissatisfied with. :relieved:

In any case, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to you for liking my Orde enough to say so!
Thank you so much! :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :heart_eyes: :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts: :revolving_hearts:
