Here is my entry to the Hero or monster contest.

Name:Draccon

Status:infected

Life: Draccon was part of the first hero team to fight the brain menace. When arriving on an unknown planet he was welcomed by a brain. The brain jumped and clung onto his hand only mutating him slightly. In his first stage of mutation he had 3 more hero cores added to him. At first his team was surprised that their teammate was being mutated but as they saw him only receive 3 more cores they all went out to find brains of their own. Once they all attached the brains to their back the same happened to them but just when they finished they saw Draccon mutate into a horrid creature. his legs extended and his head turned into one of a wolf. His original blaster grew bigger and his sword became electrified. Draccon's teammates ran in fear only to be destroyed by their old leader. When the Hero Factory headquarters heard about this failed mission they designed new suits to contain the mutation if a hero does get infected by a brain, it would only result in their masks flipping up. They quickly deleted any known facts of the heroes sent on the mission for they didn’t want any of the heroes trying to mutate themselves. They don't know what happened to Draccon but all we are sure about is that he is still there somewhere in the galaxy.

Is that helmet an official piece? If it's not I'm not too sure if it's allowed. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

Anyways, nice try on making a titan sized moc, reminds me of that one Bionicle Stars combiner. The multicolored color scheme is a bit glaring though

Overall, the MoC is very chaotic and jumbled. Multiple colors can work well under the constraints of the "Hero or Monster" theme, but it needs to have a defining purpose. Here, the assorted limb colors don't give any real sense of why they are that way, which is essential if you're going to include so many.

It's also quite hard to see what's going on the with limbs, particularly the arms; they look as if they might have some cool construction, but they're at such odd angles I wonder if they can actually pose at all. Posing in general will definitely help the appeal of an MoC, rather than just standing them up.

The weapons are probably the most interesting thing there, but as mentioned, the conflicting colors distract from the appearance. There's a certain sense of consistency, moreso than in the rest of it, but it's still very messy. Also, the brain just kind of slapped on the back isn't terribly exciting, but a lot of people have done that already.

If I can suggest anything, it's try to find some visual color consistency. Even if you think you need to use lots of colors, use them in a way that isn't distracting, for instance, have the upper legs be white and the lower legs be orange, but with an equal amount on both sides.

Oh whoops I thought you colored some black on the top, sorry.

Dorek, i was able to make the parts more symmetrical as for the brain, I stuck it onto the right arm and it is posable I will update my pictures later
