I really didn't know where to make the initial comment about Therion but I'll do it on this one since it's got no comments. You did an absolutely amazing job capturing all three stages with one character. Simply brilliant ElBanzo! I think I'm gonna have to try this. Its funny how we kinda forget the ways of the earlier bionicle. This is a great reminder of the good old days. 
As for specific features I think I will comment individually though. For this one I really like the shape of his body, and arms. The thighs on the digigraded legs looks a little weird with that one pin sticking out, what's that about? The custom heads were a really nice touch. I read that they were someone else's designs though. Either way its awesome man.
These three figures really inspire me.

Thanks a lot bro
Yes, the heads are ClockworkTempest's design (look him up on MOCpages, he's an awesome builder).
If you mean those blue pins, they are part of the articulation; if you mean those black pins on his knees, they are just space-fillers.
Thanks for your time bro

Yeah I read about that. I follow clockwork on MOCspages but I'm rarely on MP. So I'm not too familiar with his work.
I do mean the blue pins, there wasn't any way you could have done that cleaner? You could have at least stuck like a washer on it to cover it up. It just looks...blah sticking out like that. I've always hated that pins don't come readily available in different colors, mostly just blue and tan.
You're welcome.

I could have done it with 2l axles, but it wouldn't be as stable as it is :/

Yeah. I've seen a way to make stable joints like that. You use the pieces that have a O going one way and a + socket going vertically down from it and you attach 1x2 plates or longer to the O holes on either side and it makes a really stable compact joint.

Darn, I remember that technique... Well, I suppose now it's too late

Why's it too late? Did you take the all apart?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I mean, this was made for a contest and it's already entered, so...
And yes, I took half of them apart

Awwwww, that's too bad.

yeah, I feel bad everytime I do it. But, considering my small supply of parts, that happens a lot...

Yeah. Well at least you use what bit you do have well. That's something a lot of MOCers don't seem to understand.
