Hero Factory MOC: Endeavour and Toxic v2.0

Description

Look, he transforms!

I know what you're thinking: he looks virtually identical to his previous version, right? Well, he differs in that he can now 'transform' without needing to add pieces, which would be cheating! I've done this by hollowing out his torso and stuffing the purple arm inside. Don't worry, the video explains everything.
In addition, his ribcage and spinal column are much easier to see, in the pictures on the right.

Endeavour, the jolly fat man, is on the left; Toxic, the corrupted form, is on the right.

When it comes to rate MOCs made by Rahiden, I have no confidence in my rating system anymore ...
I can't really apply it on them in many ways, becasue there are basically never any things one could complain about.
Nevertheless, I'm gonna keep my system as it is. It would be unfair for other MOCers if I would make the MOCs of people like Rahiden the maximum of my rating system.
There are many more ways in which his MOCs outclass the 'usual MOCs' than vision, originality, technique and impact.




The vision only got a reduction by half a star from me, because there some details which don't work out totally, they do in there own way, but they did better in his previous version, in my opinion:
<ultra_hard_critque_mode>
His lower back was blue in his previous version, which supported the trousers look. His shoulders are higher now, this gives him a more 'mighty' than 'fat' look, which is questional, considering his theme. There are some dark grey spots visible on his torso, which slightly interferes with his overall look, but that problem might be difficult to be solved.
</ultra_hard_critque_mode>

Believe me, there's hardly any MOCer I could use the ultra_hard_critque_mode on. On other MOCs, it would just end up in a pretty long list of failures. I don't like to use it myself, because it is the way with which I look at my own MOCs always xD

Now the positive things:
A gorgeous color scheme and color distribution! The use of parts is a lot of fun to look at: The Gali masks and the golden Ignika on his lower back, the old rahkshi, bohrok and slizer/throwbot parts on the legs (it's nostaltic seeing all those parts in one place) and the newer HF parts on the whole torso, which create that perfect overall shape of the body.



The originality is first class!
The idea of a fat egg shaped man with a gold/blue color scheme and even a transformable second version is fascinating.
Things like this are what we need in the MOCing world! Normal humanoids are always big bulky and 'beautiful' to look at. This bores me for some time now, seeing something different like this is a relief!



The technique can't be complained about as well. It looks like every detail of this MOC has been created with the fitting technique. The layering of parts works good as well.
I just can't find things to complain about on this end.
Only the MOCer himself may know problem section of this MOC, I can't see any.



The Impact is not 'perfect'.
Impact is a difficult and mostly personal thing to judge.
I am amazed by this MOC, but I can't say that its an innovation within MOCing.
After using my new rating system, it's hard to give ANY MOC five stars within that section.




Nevertheless, this is once again an amazing MOC by the MOCer Rahiden! A nice addition to a MOCing community which has a lot of 'skinny' MOCs, where it seems like being thin means being cool.
I often imagine one of these MOCs getting stomped by a heavy armored MOC like this one! ^^
