Uniter Izotor & Morzus

And the G2 Marathon continues! This week, Ice begins!

And for those interested in entering in the marathon, you have one week left for Earth

Inspired by the Toa, who have since left for the stars, the Protectors decided to find their own creatures to pair with. After getting some modifications from Ekimu, each found a critter blessed by one of the Element Creatures. And with the rising darkness from Skull Caster and other new foes, this partnership could not come at a better time.

Uniter Izotor & Morzus:

Uniter Izotor:






Designer’s Notes:

Not too many changes; made the chest add-on silver to be more uniform with the other Protectors. I had considered using Vorox armor pieces on the arms, but more silver seemed a bit overkill. The blaster is a bit closer to Kopaka Uniter’s now, but adding some armor plating makes the most sense for a change.

Morzus:

Guardian along the coasts of the Region of Ice, Morzus was blessed by Melum for taking one of Umarak’s shots in their stead. Since then, she has been flatten Umarak’s traps and Skull Spiders alike whenever encountered.








Swimming:


Designer’s Notes:

Several of the other critters I originally was going to do for Ice got consumed by the other elements while working on Fire. I wanted to do a seal or sealion, if I was going to stick to arctic buddies, but couldn’t quite get it to read right. Making a walrus conversion feel necessary…though it has been 50/50 as whether people see it as a walrus or a bird of some kind. What do you see? Bird, walrus, parrot fish? Let me know.

United:





And that’s it for our Protectors and their animal buddies, but we got one creature left so stay tuned. As always, comments and criticisms are welcomed.

I like Izotor’s revamp; the added articulation stands out in particular as a nice change. I will say that I’m not a fan of the Technic panel; it’s a good parallel to Kopaka Uniter, but, to me, it’s too clean compared to the rest of him.

I saw a seal at first, but when you pointed out that she was a walrus, I felt very silly, as I immediately after saw that. I love the use of the Ultrabuilds shins as flippers, and the head shaping is excellent!

I feel like the creature needs more trans parts to align with the protector.

Love the use of those kneepads as wings, Really creative creature design!

@Zhyndea Thanks! Though the weapon being too clean…I can’t see it, if only because CCBS is “clean” to me so by default most of the build is without much texture.

@kawaii_kitten I had considered it for the body and flipper limbs, but I thought it made her too bright and black was the better contrast. Though when I get a chance, I’ll can take some photos to compare what that looks like.

@Antak3000 Thanks!
