The Mugbearer Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) The Eater is a Hordika from my epic, "Journey of Takanuva - Technorealm". It is unknown how he became a Hordika, but it's colorfully depicted about the origins of it's name: the Matoran Universe inhabitants' anatomy is such that they have no stomaches. Instead if these organs they have a module that decomposes food into wholesome substance, that immediately distributes between all organic tissues. And so, Eater's module is enormously powerful: he can bite through a protosteel rod. Eater is a member of "The Black Toas". Those are extremist group of those who do anything for the money and don't consider any laws. The Hordika has came to them because of it's animal devotion to evil and cruel woman Toa known as "Talon". As it was ascertained later, Talon was an alter-ego of Toa of Psionics named Aida. But Eater were devoted to Aide even after her liberation from mental barrier and her evil alter-ego. It has been still dedicated to this female Toa, but now his devotion has been supported and extended with charm aura that any of Toa of Psionics could emit. Eater's appearance has been described in the epic: ... truly huge creature. It was Hordika, the mutant, with two muscular beast legs. The right hand of it was ended with long blade-like claw, and the right was tridactylous, more massive and with big and sharp claws. Monster had oblong head, only one green eye covered with black plate and toothy maw with massive lower jaw and additional doubled jaw like snake's. In current model only green eye hasn't been counted up. On the other hand it has some nice innovations, such as right Hydralisk-like hand, spine of blades and lower jaw, not so massive The model is lot higher and wider than other my MOCs. For example, Tavm's model has 23 cm in height, but Eater have a whole 28 cm. Also I wanna note the use of Makutas' Phantoka part as a sort of ribs on Eater's body. Moar pics: C&Cs are welcome, as usual! P.S.: I know about red pins, but black ones is over. T_T Edited October 19, 2011 by -N13OS- Quote
Darkness Falls Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 The design of the claws is really ingenious. There's really just fantastic quality all around here- I'm always impressed with how you can create detail on such a small scale. The torso is also great, and that's some really good use of the Phantoka ribs. The only thing I think could be improved is the laeft claw- the blade pieces just feel a little bare in comparison with the rest of the piece. All in all, though, brilliant work! Quote
Nike2032 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 (edited) Wow! That really is amazing, seeing some of these mocs just makes me wanna build one of my own. Love the design on his head, its always great how people think outside the box in this criteria. Edited May 28, 2011 by Nike2032 Quote
