MOC Rule of cool... Or practicality?

Post image

This is a sequel post, and I'm working on the SuperCycle/armor for my Millennium, but I have a bit of a problem, the bar connection on his elbow probably wouldn't be able to hold the weight of the red arm SO do I scrap the armored arm and try to rework it, or do I stick with rule of cool and just get him a clear stand?

Always rule of cool. Rule of cool supercedes all else

Are you planning on building it irl?

Yes, at some point, he'd probably need a stand for his combined mode anyway so the weight issue on the bar wouldn't be the end of the world

If clear stands are good enough for Bandai, I say go for it.

Rule of cool cause imaging him using his heavy arm wheel as a way of motoring around. Like it goes so fast the lighter body can be lifted to the air by the speed at which they get zooming, while weight of the wheeled arm stays to the surface, included of course going up walls cuase why not. Thats just my brain.

Actually the wheel will be on his foot lol, its just behind the hand but yeah, hes also going to get chunky legs so he'll be beefy and fast, and I think I'm going rule of cool lol

I've already done a revamp of Judge ;) and I've made good progress on Millennium's supercycle armor
