MOC: Yarukii Returns

This is a creation by Kalatraz

Made from the durable metal of exsidian, the tactical Yarukii started as a prototype disarmament drone that was captured and reprogrammed by mercenaries and was forced to build weapons due to his vast knowledge of firearms tech. The drone later developed a conscious of its own and escaped from the organization that had long held him captive. The self-named Yarukii then made profit as a black market arms-dealer, a contrast to his original programming.

This is Kalatraz’s revamp of his creation “Yarukii”, which is why the title of the MOC is “Yarukii Returns”. The original form can be seen here on youtube. Although this MOC has improved significantly from the previous incarnation, I think the original still holds up well too. It’s fun to see how the design evolved, swapping out the wide feet for rolling wheels, changing up the hand design and streamlining everything else while keeping the general body design. The CCBS plating is used perfectly alongside his other details to create a mechanical character to match his backstory. I don’t want to spoil the whole creation here, so Ill send you to Kalatraz’s Instagram page to check out the rest of Yarukii’s pictures and give him the traffic he deserves for his work.

As for constructive criticism, the MOC is just about perfect in my opinion. About the only thing I think Yarukii lacks is a proper firearm accessory to support his backstory as an arms dealer. His last version is shown wielding a few guns in the Youtube video, so I think a custom built gun that fits his clawed hands would be a great addition.

You can see more of Kalatraz’s work on DeviantArt, Instagram, and Youtube. His MOCs tend to be Toa and Matoran sized, using a mix of parts and building styles between different creations. He is also a bit of an artist and photographer, often using BIONICLE MOCs and sets in his work.
