Very nice but the Rhotuka launcher doesn’t really look like a shield to me. Though I do like how you emulated the shape of a metru build with the torso.

looks very cool, one of the best Varians

I imagined Varian’s shield would work more as a buckler shield rather than a heavy shield like the Hagah. It would allow more form and less clumsiness with her elbow-mounted blades.

Now that I see it that way it makes more sense
Neat

Always tribute to the slizer Metru Torso.

Glow in the dark for the Rhotuka of sleep. Huh. Clever.

Nice MOC! Definitely one of my favorites so far.

I always thought a massive Hagah shield with elbow-mounted blades would look really awkward, but a Rhotuka buckler looks much better.

I like the use of the Ben 10 limbs on the lower legs.

I love that torso design. Creating the metru body look but with common pieces that would really make making different colours easier.

I like what’s happening here. The shaping and colour distribution are really nice, and the arm blades look really cool. I never would have thought to use Visorak pincers, but it seems to be a popular idea.

I also like the glow-in-the-dark Rhotuka.

The one thing I’m not so sure about is the shield. I definitely like the idea of Varian having a fairly small shield, but I almost feel like this overdoes it; in addition to the small diameter, it isn’t even really a full circle. Would you consider giving her the shield design you used for Norik here?

Now that is an interesting arm design. But those are forearm blades and not elbow.

These are super cool! I did something similar a couple of weeks ago, I dig your interpretations!

Any chance you could show a torso breakdown?

Been trying to work out exactly what parts I’d need to recreate her in meatspace, and (if it’s not an imposition) some instructions would be much appreciated.

Also, I’m curious about how well the arm-blades manage to stay in position. From personal experience, Visorak mandibles have a tendency to freely rotate on me.
