Galvis is back! This is his NINTH, yes, NINTH version! HE has upgrades, and I hope he becomes popular! In the first picture, he is holding a sphere that he created from water. Let's go check him out!
About this creation
As a small matoran, Galvis always wanted to become a toa. He wanted to follow in Nokama's footsteps, and be the next toa of water. He went to school in the Ga-Metru district of Metru Nui. He was at the top of his class and became a protodermis purifier in the Great Temple. He was relieved of his duty when he accidentaly spilled a vat of liquid protodermis onto another matoran. After the Morbuzakh vines attacked Metru Nui, he went into hiding. During the Visorack takeover, he was still in hiding, along with a group of matoran that called themselves the Rana Kroka, or, the survivors of the plague. After the Toa Metru moved the matoran to Mata Nui, he and the Rana Kroka then moved to Mata Nui. After many years of the Toa Mata protecting the island, it was time for a new toa team to protect the island. Galvis was given a toa stone by Gali, and he was then transformed into a toa. He met his fellow teammates (Destrin, Metrex, Junta, and Denos), and later they called themselves the Toa Senorax. He is best friends with Metrex, and is commonly fighting over Junta's attention with Destrin. Denos is commonly flirting with Galvis, but he doesn't seem to care. They currently help the Toa Nuva with protecting the matoran of Mata Nui.

To the moc!
Front view.
Left side view.
Back view. You like the Nuparu claws as armor?
Right side view.
Galvis' new lower leg armor. His smooth, yet nonfunctional, silver Rahkshi armor had to be changed because of poseability issues. He now has Metru foot armor, inside-out tires for space filling, and more blue greebles on the side of his legs.
His Nuva shoulder armor that filled in his neck is gone. Instead, 3 Bohrok teeth fill in the gap, and make it look SO much better!
His arms needed bulking up, so I added a larger tire greeble.
On his back, the blue foot has been changed to a silver one, as to match his gray armor.
Awesome pose!
New Galvis with the Toa Senorax. They can be seen HERE and HERE .
And finally, my new buddy icon! My secondary self-moc Metrex on the left, sig-Kyle in the middle, and my primary self-moc Galvis on the right!
Constructive criticism and comments are appreciated! KP out!
Galvis is awesome! I cannot find a fault in this MOC. I have to thank you, to, because it was in your MOCs that I first discovered that hand design. Would you please be able to have a look at some of my MOCs? I would greatly value your opinion.

Wow, you're pretty awesome. Galvis has a general bulk 'punch your face off' look. The entire body is incredible, and inside-out tires are great. The mask has to be my favorite though, Trans-blue makes me think of a mask carved from ice. And truthfully, I feel kind of priveliged that you faved me. Thanks, a lot.
Anytime. I have watched you progress as a builder, and you have gotten to be very good. You earned the fave through your building, which is at this point very good, not asking me to fave you. You have potential. :D

Not sure why I never commented but whatever...awesome work it's to bad the rakshi(spelling) armor affected possibility ,its so characteristic of your mocs
Quoting The Plague , Mechanical Biohazard
Great MOC, did this one just right. Just some advice, for close- up pictures click the MACRO button. Anyways, overall amazing MOC.
Hey, thanks for commenting on this page, it is VERY outdated. 2 things: 1. My camera doesn't have macro, and 2. I can take all the clear pictures I want, my new photo setup allows me not to do what happened with the pics on this moc. Thanks

Would you be open to a chat? Btw, I think you should eliminate the gunmetal on Galvis... Keep his color scheme to blue, silver and black. :)
I already did, the gunmetal armor is now blue like the piece on his chest. The Exact same pieces. And sure, I'm up for a chat!
Kyle, as a judge of the bionicle torunamocoff, you have too pick one of the 2 entries you think should win the tournament. Wertman's entrie http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/308627 and Rennoc's entrie http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/310955. This will be your last duty as a judge (heh, duty :D) and then the torunamocoff will be over as I will finish the final results to see who is winner.
I think it's time I made someone else's self-MOC.Seeing as I have a lot of dark blue Bio pieces...I'll make Galvis! :D An Alternate Universe version!! 8D Besides,I just thought of a custom thigh design.I dunno when it'll be finished and uploaded seeing as I'm gonna need to BL his mask. :/
Try bulking up the neck and shoulders a bit, the look too thin. A custom head would work very well on this MOC. Otherwise though, I really like the design, the legs are great!
Quoting Ben Cossy
Really loving how he looks now man :D Great work on the legs and I love his torso and detail on the back :D Great work bro ;) The only thing I think needs changing is maybe the foot on the backside. Other then that awesome work ;)
Thanks Ben, I see what you are saying by that! Hopefully I can update him some more!

With the Proportion Work you've done here, Galvis cuts a very mean side Profile. Excellent work, keep this up! (And never worry about how many Revisions you're up to: it's done when YOU are satisfied with it! ) Cheers!
Thanks, coming from such a great builder like you means a lot Crowe! Thank you so much!

I'm back!Fantastic!I'm gonna upgrade my SM soon.The armor is great,but I think that more trans-blue would look really cool!
Wow! Thanks everyone! All I need is 1 more like and this will be my 3rd most popular! Thanks to everyone who has commented, there is a lot of great advice that has been given. About the neck, I know it looks awkward, but unless I find an alternative to it, then it will stay the same, and the same goes for the torso. Thanks to everyone, especially to STS the Forgotten, we are combining our stories as part of a project. This is just awesome, thank you so much guys! - Kyle
I like EVERYTHING about him, except for the head. I liked the V2 head (hockey) and that neck is WAY too long. Since the neck looks so awkward, 4/5, but the rest is VERY good!
Cool! I love the legs! The thing i would say is that the black shins look a tad out of place. Maybe if you put more blue on it, or put more black around the body, maybe that would help! Anyway, WOWZA!
Wow! I love how he looks "full"! My only suggestions would be to bulk a bit the upper arms and the neck. Anyway, awesomesauce Barnicle you have there! :P
Very nice. I think the neck is quite thin and bare though, so the head could perhaps use some filling maybe, hmm? He also looks a bit muscular, so regarding that, the arms could be a bit buffer too. Otherwise, love the legs there and the colors work ( ^^)-b
Man, the ninth version! I can't even imagine where Curatos will be by 9th version...but anyways, onto Galvis. Man what an improvement! I seriously love the lower legs now (I didn't really before, but those metru feet look nice! If only they were in silver...Krekka woulda helped). The torso is really nice, and those arms aren't bad, too. Maybe what I'd improve are the proportions and the lower arms...more customness FTW! Great job!
Very good! I'll see what I can do so my version is similar. I just don't like his neck, I think it's too skinny. Try bulking his shoulders, or raise the higher, Or maybe better; Custom head? Constructive criticism intended. Keep on brickin'
Really epic! I don't any really have any critique for him, oh and by the way. Right now I'm posting Destrin :D I have A LOT to do, but I'll get it done soon :D And could I use a bio for Destrin some what related to Galvis'? Please?
