Description
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

Heh, its okay. A lot of people over look my MOCs, there's a bunch of em and they usually get overshadowed by the big stuff.
Thanks. Everyone loves the wings, naturally. 
Wuuuuut?

Is true,but there's a lot of awesome little gems like this should one go look fer them~~.
But of course!
It's a Team Fortress 2 ref.From the "Meet the Medic" video.Ze Medic has a dove.It's name is Archimedes,too.It loves gore.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You should. Go browse my gallery.
OOoooooh. Video game refs are lost on my part as I don't have a current game system to play them on. I is too poor and dey's too esssspensive fer me to get.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I shall indeed~
Bb'aawwww,poor,poor Daveh.D:
I happened to get TF2 before it was free,as a late birfday/Christmas gift myself from a good buddy since I'm kinda too broke to get a whole buncha cool games myself(seriously,the newest I own personally is Overlord
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, I could probably get steam and play it on my computer, but its not good with video games. It barely handles Minecraft.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I want to get a PS3 meself....saving up fer that.So I can get the rest of deh OVERLORD series(as comes as no surprise.
Bbbb'aww,poor Daveh.:<
Well,I dunno how well it'd work if that's the case,as TF2 is a tiny bit laggy for Ori sometimes(people disappearing when she shoots them,oh Lord,you cannot imagine how disturbing that is.xD).:'<
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could probably save up to, but it'd take me forever as I don't make any money. I scrounge up loose change the parents leave lying around. Back when I did get an allowance the PS3 was 600 bucks, now that its cheaper I still have the same problem of it'd take for ever for me to save up with how much I can scrounge together.
Ah yeah, I'd hate that. Minecraft lags for me and won't render fast enough. I need to see if there's something I can do about that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I has a very small allowance meself.Make about...three,maybe two dollars a week.OF course the good fing is,I may look at other fings to buy,but my memory is so crap shoot,I forget about it and go back to my big goal~xD
Is big problem~xD
Well,it's not so bad,it happens infrequently,and most people are dead by the time it does,so it's more of a delayed "YEY~!" moment then anyfing in TF2.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow that is a small allowance. I used to get like 20 a week, more if I didn't spend my lunch money.
Ah I see.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh my.xD
Oh awesome~!
Ehahahahahaha~xD
Oh my God.xD
I don't have too many problems.The wierdest I've ever had to me in a PC game on my dinker-doo is the TF2 models don't always have eyes when it goes to Overworld view and it shows you who killed you.And MikuMikuDance crashes occasionally,but only when I have a crap load of stuff open.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh I see. I can't have anything open or running if I hope to play Minecraft without a terrible Lag.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That must suck.D:
Oh hoorah!
The Oreo Overlord hopes the laptop will agree with you,once it is in hand~.I've only had bad experiences with laptops.They hate me.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It does.
This is my second laptop. My first one I bought off my cousin, it was a 2004 laptop and I got it in 2009, so it had already been used a good deal before, but it lasted me about a year then crapped out. I think its because it fell from a small hight and it knocked the harddrive loose or something. But then I got this laptop and its okay, just has a few hardware issues. It runs fine for doing basic stuff, but it doesn't have a super fast processor or anything. BUt its got a good size harddrive that I can fill up with music, TV, movies and what not, so I'm happy with it for those purposes, it just doesn't handle really demanding programs. But that's not what I bought it for.

Bbb'aaaww.D:
Aaahhh,I see~.I've owned one laptop and fiddled with many,many others.They always do somefing stupid to me.xD
Though,mine was more of it being old as frack when I got it.Hardware error that caused it to shut off every little while.MEIN GOTT,that was irritating.I'm not one for long strings of expletives,but with that fing,there was so many used for it liked to shut off whilst I was drawing,so I couldn't save what I had done.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh that'd piss me off. I woulda chucked it and be like "mom I need a new computer this ancient one you got be broke." 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yes,I pretty well got to that point meself~Then I got a desktop~.xD But the hard drive got old and died,so then we had to get ANOTHER...xD
I love desktops~.Not very portable,like ya said,but much more stable~.PLus,you can take it apart and fix it up if you know what you're doing.Laptops...not so much.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HHAHA Yeah. That can make any one rage I guess. lol That blows. I really need to back this computer up. I'd be sad if I lost all my pictures of MOCs.
I want one just cause they're more powerful, and there is the fact you can work on them a lot easier, not that I know anything about that stuff.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed~
Oh yes,I find that it pays to buy an external hard drive~.Depending on the size,they can be kinda pricey but SSSSSOOOOOO worth it.
Power is gewd~.
I was born into a family of techno-geeks.All of us have a pretty good knowledge of how to fix fings.I'm at least somefing of an intermediate level of knowledge,anyway,but my Dad will build and rebuild PCs for fun,knows how they all work.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, but really who needs a terabyte of space just for back up? "I just bought this external hard drive, now I'll be able to back up my next 9 computers. 
Ah that's cool. My step dad is somewhat computer literate. He could probably install components into a desktop, but I doubt he can build and take apart a PC. The rest of my family is computer retarded though. I'd like to get at that point where I can work on a computer.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ehhahaha,that is a bit crazy,yeh~xD
I myself don't have one quite that big...I donno what it is anymore.More then I am able to make a dent on yet.xD
Always good to know how to fix the crazy fings~.Makes a person feel special~xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, plus its a marketable job skill.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know it isn't terabyte...I just don't remember quite what it was.I wanna say somewhere around 80 GB,but that doesn't feel right to me...and I put a lot of stuff.Emulators,music,pictures,.swfs,MikuMikuDance stuff,.PDFs....if I downloaded it,it's probably on my external.xD
I remember,before it keeled over,my last hard drive was full when I had just PICTURES and MUSIC...and add everyfing else on top and it was like "NNNOOO RROOMMM FFFOORR JJJOOO~." xD
Oh yes,indeed!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh. 80Gb is nothing these days, you must not have put much on it if you've not even put a dent in it. My music collection by itself is like 60 something gigs. And I've still got a bunch of CD's I've not ripped.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Like I said,don't fink that's the right number,as my music alone is in the sixty Gig area itself,always increasing with no downloads~.So yup,it's somefing massive,just don't ask me what massive it is.xD
Ehahhaahha.xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HAHA yeah. I download though. I steal so much music. I've got this Massive list of albums I need to buy from bands. In some cases its the bands entire catalog. SO MUCH GOOD MUSIC AND NO MONEY TO GO BUY IT.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Don't feel bad,Ori does the same~.
Though,I do have a select few that I enjoy and/or respect enough that I have spent a lot of time just saving for~Cx
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah same here. I've got a bit of money. I'm saving it to buy the new Puscifer album when it comes out on the 18. Hopefully 13 bucks will cover that, if not I'll see if I can bum a few bucks from my folks. Or maybe I can go preorder it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh the gathering of a goodly amount of money~Always fun.xD
All the albums I am jonesin' for currently are already released....but I haven't got around to putting money into getting them.PM5K is totally the first on the list.I've been dying for a new album from them for a while~.< 3 > xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What do you consider a goodly amount of money?
PM5K? Who's that? Well there's still a bunch of albums I want from bands that are released. But puscifer comes out with Conditions of my parole in 10 Days, and Lacuna coil comes out with an album in late January, which is a ways off, but I'm still anticipating it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
......More then fifty dollars.
Powerman 5000~.It's a band formed by Rob Zombie's baby brother,Spider One~.They're technically the FACE of Industrial Metal~.
So many exciting things~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh yeah. I've got $80 now after my birthday. I plan on buying the new puscifer album, then that's it cause I gotta save the rest for december.
Oh okay. I've heard of them. What are some good songs of theirs?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Awesome~.Ahhahahaha,I have to wait until the end of the year fer birfday money...xD
Yey~!
Welp,I have many,many favorites by them~."Super Villain" is pretty well the epitome of their work so far,but there's a lot of other good ones like "Son of X-51,"Supernova Goes Pop","When Worlds Collide","Bombshell","Free",their cover of "Relax",and many,many others~.Pretty much,it's best to go through albums rather then just songs~.Though,anything before Tonight the Stars Revolt! isn't all that good,and of the newer stuff,Transform has a totally different sound from their normal fare,and is kinda mediocre.Destroy What You Enjoy might have that wierdo sound too,but I'm not certain~.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ohh? When does Ori celebrate the circling of the sun?
Okay, lets narrow this down then. Which album should I look into first. In your opinion, where's a good place for a newcomer to start?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
12-22~.Tee-hee,a reoccurringnumber in my art because it's fun to say.
I would suggest either Tonight the Stars Revolt! or their second newest,Somewhere On the Other Side of No Where.Long titles,they has them.

Quite a good job on the shape and color.

Mmm, the strength of this one is really all about the wings, they are quite impressive.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you. Yes the wings are the main feature from him but he's not to badly a constructed figure either.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Indeed, a simple core figure but it works.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HEY!

Sorry it took me so long!
I try my very best!
Hope you like! >_<
