Bionicle MOC: Archimedes 2

Archimedes, leader to the Defenders of Virtue. He is responsible for assembling the DOV in a much needed response to the growing power of the Insurgence of Darkness by traveling all over the matoran world and even attempted to obtain the mask of time to travel back through it to recruit some of the most legendary toas in history but failed to obtain the powerful mask from the brotherhood of Makuta. Archimedes is one of the oldest toa to obtain his power and keep it before becoming a turaga. He is also one of the highest ranking members of the order of Mata Nui. However, Archimedes isn't the most noble of toa. He'll often bend the rules and defy orders from his superiors due to his blinding focus on stopping the IOD. He is known for being merciless and even cruel to those of ill will.

Archimedes' name comes from 's character who is also an angel. His wings give him the ability to fly at supersonic speeds for short bursts but to achieve long periods of flight. He caries two sword, Ionus which can channel and amplify his toa energy, and the smaller, swifter Jaatera. Archimedes will Place ionus on his back during flight and channel energy as propulsion to achieve the short bursts of supersonic flight.

Updates to the MOC
I didn't do much compared to the old version. The most notable addition is the holster belt for Archi's sword, Jaatera. Plus it adds a nice realistic touch, and some color. I added a few pieces here and there to make the overall design more fluid. I also added silver triangle pieces to the sides of his torso under his arms to limit the shoulder movement and keep them from slouching down past the point a person would be able to slouch.

About the photo
I decided that the original pose was to epic to just get rid of so what I did is I copied the old one off of DA, and cropped it in with the new one. Think of this as "Bionicle MOC: Archimedes 2.1." Photos edited with
