Logan McOwen Posted March 15, 2015 Legend tells of a towering being who once roamed on the island of Okoto... A wretched, titanic fiend known as the Kaikohuru. It is not known exactly whom or what he was, but his reputation of blood-thirst is what he is known for. While this towering giant walked unarmed, save for his jet-black horns, he was well known for unleashing a barrage of punches from his iron fists, obliterating the bodywork of whom he fought. He held no grudge, except to life itself. But, this was eons ago, and it is not known whether or not this terrible giant still roams the land... So yeah, I've had this dude sitting about the place for quite a while now, so I thought I'd snap some pics and share him with you all! Enjoy! And now, some of the structural details, including the specialized gearbox. The gearbox allows you to swing each of Kaikohuru's arms back and forth independently, so he can punch with his fists.

DraikNova Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) Huh. I don't like the proportions (the extremely wide knees) or colors much (the silver dilutes the bright purple a little too much, and should probably be spread out a little more), but that gearbox is genius. Can I please have permission to steal that design? Edited March 15, 2015 by DraikNova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Leewan Posted March 15, 2015 I myself love the wide knees and the overall shape, think I'll build it myself. :D PS : I've resized your pictures, they were over the 800*600 px limit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MakutaOfWar Posted March 16, 2015 (edited) Ahhh, I love me some purple. Overall nice build. Dat gear system though, if only I had the patience to be able to concoct something like that. ç.ç Well done. Also the legs only strengthen my opinion on needing truly titan-style sets. Someone mentioned how the use for customized legs isn't a priority with larger builds due to the friction extenders, which you used with an overall customized leg build. Personally, I love and don't love the friction extender use in sets. Examples of uses in sets like Lewa and Gali(she uses them right?) I love them giving the appropriate height the set deserves, but uses like Stormer XL, Furno XL, etc I dislike. Although with the "titans" of this wave, highly-customized uses of friction would have ruined the sets for me I think. Ah, sorry for kind of going off topic, I rant too much sometimes. Love the moc! Edit: Ah crap, that spare ball joint on the right leg in the 4th picture isn't used for friction, it's used for armor! My argument is invalid. XD So sorry.

Robin Creations Posted March 16, 2015 The horns give it a nice appearance and the rib area is great! I for one am a fan of the legs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGreatSpirit Posted March 18, 2015 I don't know why, but this is giving me a Tai Lung vibe from Kung Fu Panda. It's strange, but I like it. The mask kinda doesn't fit IMO but its not bad. That gearbox.... I cannot comprehend its genius. Overall a great MOC, keep up the great work man. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheOneVeyronian Posted March 18, 2015 I generally like what you've done here, I'm in love with that genius gearbox build Now I desperately want to try and build it myself so I can have an MOC that can go round punching masks off Toa and Protectors But I'll be honest: I am not at all mad on the head, especially the horns. I feel they'd be better if you did something as simple as rotate them to point forwards, I don't know. Also, I'd replace the yellow with black in the gear system, as it is it is far too jarring/distracting against the black/purple/silver colour scheme. But I had this complaint with the Toa as well so there you go Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
