MOC: General Holtes

This is a creation by FR8G

FR8G’s General Holtes does a great job of blending BIONICLE, Technic, and CCBS. The torso has a nice organic look to it, and the Hero Factory 2.0 helmet resting in the center of his chest and flanked by claws on pneumatic T pieces give some interesting depth to the design. The technic-heavy lower arms are especially cool looking, and give him a very sturdy appearance. His weapon doesn’t look half bad either, and I like how FR8G chose build it out of silver/gray pieces to set it apart from Holtes.

If the design has any weak points, I’d say the lower legs could use some work, maybe some armoring to help hide the skeletal look on the sides. I’m also curious how the armor guarding Holtes’ ankles is attached. It looks like it’s just kinda hanging from the technic part wedged into the socket of the orange Toa Mata foot? On one hand it works, although the part looks ugly just wedged in there. It would be nice to see a revision that attaches it more soundly, since it looks just a touch out of place on this excellent creation.

You can see more of FR8G’s work on their photostream, including more pictures of General Holtes. FR8G doesn’t have a huge amount of creations uploaded yet, but they all feature great designs and building techniques that I think are well worth the time to check out.
