Description     So here I have a MOC that started out as just a head. In fact, I wasn't even planning on build Hydraxon. I had been wanting to build a titan character of my very own for some time, but I want to start with a good head. While I love using classic masks for my MOC's faces, I wanted to try a custom head for this character just to see what I could come up with. I think it turned out pretty well, but I am open to any comments or critiques on it. I won't get bent out of shape.

    Anyways, I decided to add tubing to the head and then it just screamed Hydraxon at me after that. I owned his set when I was younger, actually. I thought his character was super cool in the comics and books, but the set was a bit forgettable. I mean he did have that unique mask, but it was a little bit boring and they went used it in Von Nebula. And as to his body, it was pretty much an Inika build with Piraka feet. He wasn't horrible, but when you compared him to Maxilos and Gadunka, he was not that impressive; especialy for the being who literally TRAINED the To a Mata. So my version makes him a bit more of a titan with some "big daddy" vibes going on there.

Also, I brought back his cordak blaster and his claw thing as well as his basic color scheme. His armor is pretty much a all silver pieces with some SNOT and system pieces to give it more detail. My favorite part is probably his gorget. It just reminds me the most of an old diver suit. 

If you haven't heard of this character and you want to learn more, this article is a good resource: biosector01.com/wiki/index.php…

Thanks for viewing! Comments and critiques would be very useful

EDIT: I might be adding a replacement image because the black pieces are virtually invisible. Ah well.

I never had a problem with Hydraxon, but I do think the Big-Daddy-ish look is fitting, considering how like in Bioshock, the Mahri Nui saga took place in an underwater city full of mutants and mutated cyborgs.

I would post a comment about how awesome this is if it weren't for the images themselves. :/

I'm actually wondering how you did that

Two bohrok feet, a gahlok shield, two bohrok eyes, a couple 3x1 technic plates, and those nice little 2x1 technic plates. As a tip, I recommend starting by looking at how you want the pieces to fit together and then use technic pieces to actually make it fit together. Or heck! Maybe friction will hold it in place!

The face doesn't really look that much like Hydraxon's, but still DAM !!!

Yeah, this is more of a revamp, so my goal was to spiritually capture his essence. So when it looked like a cold, vengeful diver in silver armor, it reminded me of him.

Well I can say that you did a really great job with this entire beast and looking more at it, it quite starts to look more like Hydraxon.

Dayum, he looks awesome! I've always felt that Hydraxon's set left a lot to be desired. When he was first introduced in the books, I was expecting some awesome, huge titan, not... what his set was. I had gotten Gadunka prior to him, and it took me half the time to build Hydraxon as it had Gadunka. This MOC, though, really does the character justice.

The only bit of constructive criticism I can think of is, the lower part of his body seems a bit too black. There's a nice amount of silver up top, on his head, shoulders, neck and arms, but from his chest down, he seems to be too plain without the silver added in. The cordak missiles are a nice touch though.

Thanks! Yeah, the color distribution was a bit of a concern for me. I might add in some armored boots or something to balance it out.

Drakmanka In reply to Kakamaking [2014-10-26 05:12:35 +0000 UTC]

I think that would probably solve the color imbalance quite nicely, too.

Monarth [2014-10-25 21:54:54 +0000 UTC]

That's quite impressive. I'd like to see him from a lower angle too. This picture definitely shows the craftsmanship of the upper torso, but I can't really make anything of the lower torso and the legs.

Thanks man, I'll probably modify the deviation some time.

Oh, don't beat yourselves up, I could say the same for both of you. There is no lesser MOCing or greater MOCing. It's only creativity and, like muscle, it can be exercised.
