The Antique Orator looks like it would be at home in a number of settings. Science Fiction, fantasy, or horror come to mind, though it’s design reminds me most of the early Oddworld games. The gold shoulders and chains give the Orator something of a dapper appearance despite the tattered cloth and exposed wiring. It makes me think of this as an intelligent character rather than mindless monster, even without the description.
I love how the legs look complicated at first glance, but prove simpler when you take a closer look. It’s amazing what a bit of red tubing can do. I particularly like how Lord Oblivion connected the Metru Nui feet with the round 1×2 plates. I’ve always had trouble connecting the mirrored feet like that to anything without them looking too bulky.
You can see more of Lord Oblivion’s work on twitter and Imgur, including more pictures of the Antique Orator. They are very talented with LEGO Technic, BIONICLE/CCBS, and system parts, often mixing the pieces from each to create unusual character designs.
