Description
Second AWESOME character, got a little too much personality, being anonymous like the first one is more awesome.However, the body might be more awesome... so I'm a bit stuck at this cyborg thing.
What do you think he needs to be AWESOME (except from the obvious brain and armor plating at the legs and waist)?
Also AWESOME is AWESOME...
And actually, He... Is the System

Reminds me of a few things from Mass Effect, and a bit from Transformers. Altogether, it's a great design

Still it never struck me before it was mentioned

"Metroid Prime 3: Corruption"... The thought never struck me before you mentioned it, although my character has some more personality in his design than Ghor

Okay, from reading the comments I understand that he's both villianous and the equivalent of one of the first transformers EVAH!
If it were me, I'd keep the head the way it is. The "empty" skull design is is a powerful thing. I would add some color to his eyes though. Not red. Red is over used for villians. Go with colder colors like a white-blue or acid green.
The arms seem good and menacing and I'd love to see them when they're done.
From what I can take from his lower half the pelvis and thighs are fine but the lower legs (especially the feet) are lacking. In my opinion, the shins should have more substance to them and the feet could be more like a bird's feet; with one "toe" in the back and however many else in the front.
These are all just my opinion. You are the only one that can control what you create (or don't create).
I actually didn't notice the link in the description untill most of this comment was typed so I guess most of this will be ignored. I do like the holographic eye concept though. The color choice, not so much (to each their own I suppose).
That whole brainbox... case... whatever. Sounds kinda ghost in the shell to me. I would suggest placing it somewhere other than behind his "face." maybe in his chest where it would be more protected.
Again just my opinion. Sorry for leaving a long as hell comment.

On the contrary, I've encountered comments twice the length of yours my friend.
First of thanks a lot, I rarely get such detailed and opinion oriented feedback comments on my concepts, I really appreciate that you've taken the time to type all this!
(Sorry about the slightly hidden link.)
I'm glad you find this much interest in my character, and about the eye color I've done several test to see what suits best.. I started of with the orange which was my original vision, then to see other expressions, it resulted in the blue [link] and then in green [link]
Personally I found the green to be most appealing of the secondary alternatives... I find blue to be too commonly used throughout different concepts.
Sorry but I'm not familiar with the Ghost in the Shell anime so I'd not know what you're referring to...
But, Xodius have 2 units, the brainbox'(which is partially organic) primary function is to process the visual information the Holo Eyes receive.
So you could say the brainbox is the short-term/active memory.
The second unit is the primary memory unit, is in fact stored in his body around the core energy reactor in his torso.
However the brainbox send the vital info and compressed event info, to the primary unit.
If destroyed the brainbox will be replaced by the primary unit, this will result in a reduced personality behavior...
So thank again for your opinion, hope this info was relevant for you

It's nothing, I don't really find many concept works that peak my interest. Fewer ask or welcome opinions so when I find one that interests me I jump on it.
I agree, the green really suits the design and really makes an impression.
I had a feeling you wouldn't get the refference. Esentially, in Ghost in the Shell the cybernetic bodies have an organic brain housed inside a brain case where the brain would be found in a human body. Your brainbox reminded me of that.
Although, I was wondering. If it was destroyed, could the brainbox be replaced? From the way you described it, it sounds like when it's destroyed only short term memory, personality, and reasoning would be effected. So if another brainbox could be created, could it be used as a replacement?
Is Xodius a model name or a unit name? It's not really vital that I know but I'm curious.

Well I do appreciate all feedback, it's the only thing that can help me improve in the ways of concept and design.
I see, then there are similarities, as Xodius have a synthetic organic brain.
If destroyed it would knock him out for a short time, more specifically the time it would take for the primary memory unit to apply the brainbox' task... Leaving him to be a personallity reduced mechanoid.
Recent memory would be gone, however as mentioned the primary unit recieves a compressed log of meta info (visual, audial etc. senses) from the brainbox, these are converted from the analog signals the brain recieves to digital info.
This brainbox info is not compitable with the primary unit as it is not organic...
And yes, the brainbox could be replaced by another one if destroyed.
The name Xodius was taken by the mechanoid himself, as he is to some extent sentient.
It's a variation of the greek word Exodus (migration), it happened by chance, and suits his character as he left his place of origin and setteled himself in a remote space station.
