Bionicle MOC Mototaur 3.0

Description

Description and bio. Marvel at the colossus of the desert, devastator of plateaus, a mechanize malicious menace...MOTOTAUR! Part man, part savage beast, all fury. Mototaur is core member of the Insurgence Of Darkness, trumped by only one other member, but only in cunning. His size, that of a mountain, strength far surpassing that of protosteel, speed aided by his motorized feet and body, is reach, that of the length of a kohli field with his bohrok head morning star.
Mototaur is very old, perhaps one of the oldest members of the insurgence. It is said that he was unearthed from deep within one of the nui islands, released from imprisonment set upon him long ago by the order of mata Nui to wreak havoc upon the deserts of Metru nui. Despite being old Mototaur acts and moves as if he were young. This is perhaps the result of a hibernation brought on by the imprisonment. It is known that Remaku is the one who sought him out and released him. The details are all rumored as Mototaur's wrath upon the sands was of a sudden one, appearing as if a sandstorm. Villagers of the various desert regions simply stay out of his way and bend to his will, for he could singlehandedly be the down fall of a village. Only teams of toas and titans have bested him, and only rarely

The new build
Mototaur got a massive overhaul from the previously "completed" version. He's been completely rebuilt from the abdomen down. A third pneumatic piston was incorporated into his torso for optimum stability. His forearms redone to include Caterpillar tracks in them. His neck has been fleshed out, his head received additions and additional armor has been placed here and there. This revamp has proven most challenging at ever turn, even leading me down dead ends thusly having to backtrack.

Unfortunately, he's not everything I envisioned in the new designs. His stability is near what it used to be but sadly not of the standard I'd like it to be and I lack the proper parts to adequately see this though. But his designs are sufficient enough to be shared and considered a Complete version of him. In due time I will once again revisit what by now is probably my signature MOC to hopefully improve upon what I deem to be inferior designs and make hims stabler and more poseable. Maximum stability and poseablity is my ultimate goal with these larger MOCs.

Now while its said that this is Version 3, this is actually a much later version, but I've lost track of how many version I had before the first version posted here on :devart:

:faint: I can't believe it, I got a DD Thank you so very much To ~Alex-Darkrai for suggesting me and having some truly kind words to say about My work. :iconbowplz: I humbly accept this great honor I really hope this will shed some much needed light in the bionicle MOCing Community here on Deviant art and incourage more MOCers to make the switch from off site locations to here for their MOC hosting and socializing. Once again, thank you so much every one. :iconiloveyouplz:

First off, congratulations are in order for making such a huge, complex, and epic moc!
[This critique will be addressing the moc in order of feet, legs, arms, tail, torso, head, and weapon.]

The design of the feet is very complex and eye catching, with the structure and complication.

I can tell that the legs are more than likely hard to pose seeing that they are quite complex for legs to begin with.

The arms are very cool and look quite heavy. You counteracted this nicely with your usage of pistons and multiple joints.

The tail is unfortunately what seems to be the weak point of this moc, seeing as it looks to be too spindly for the creation as a whole.

The torso being the section of the moc that holds it together in it's entirety is pretty awesome. I especially like the effect of layered armoring.

The head as a whole is epicness in of itself, however I can't tell which set of translucent orange pieces are the eyes.

The mace is really awesome however I find the chain to be too thin especially for this moc's hands. Maybe if when you post an updated of this creation you will be able to make the chain thicker, yet still be able to move freely. [I have a few ideas if you would like to hear them.]

Anyways this is most likely the largest and most definitely among the most breathtaking mocs that I have ever seen. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!
