Metagross, eh? Hmmm... *Goes away for several hours* I'm gonna start off with a couple of simple splices, since I love those. Metakouaaaaand KingrossThis is Megan. Megan has been doing some tinkering in her workshop, and she has something she would like to show you. And this Monofer has been crafted using nothing but Metagross (and a teensy bit of scratching). I can't wait to see what VGBMichael's got up his sleeve! Go contest!

Entry 1 It's, uh, just Metagross's foot and face-X and some scratch monster that doesn't look like a pokemon. I don't actually have any other entries yet, but if I whip some up I'll add them to this post.

(Been working on mine btw, I'll definitely be done by the deadline.)

I know that it's read as crystal+top so "chris top" but I read it at "cry stop"

My wifi got COMPLETELY screwed for the past few days! I'm so sorry I'm late but HERE WE GO:
Pokemonscrap: 1: Metakou, 29/40 "The parts connect together really well, but all in all is a pretty simple splice. I feel like it would have been better if it had more colors spread out, instead of being almost entirely blue. "A nice streamlined splice. It couldve done with some extra touch-ups around the torso to give it more of an illusion of looking metallic, but that might just be me."
2: Kingross, 33/40 "A beast of love and majesty, crafted by god himself." "While a practically flawless splice IMO, the big pincer looks like it was just crammed into Metagross' arm socket." "The jawline looks strange and Metagross' legs look too... Metagross when unmodified"
3: Megan, 30.5/40 "It's creative and honestly awe inspiring, but there's something wrong with the lever (Is it even a lever) in her left hand." "A nice idea, but again, the Metagross component is in that weird zone between being entirely recognizable and looking like its own thing."
4: Monofer, 30/40 "It's neat how you put together the splice using nothing but Metagross, but... that's exactly what bothers me. It definitely took skill and creativity to put this together, considering you had to put in some scratch-work, but the fact that no other pokemon is in this splice other than Metagross doesn't really ring as a "splice" to me." "It's amazing what you could do using only metagross, make it look nothing like the ingredient, yet still be able to tell which parts are what! Love it."
5: Whole collection: 32/40 "Used all the parts of Metagross well, but splices 2 and 3 look too weirdly similar when put next to each other." "Overall, very good! Just a few things could have been tweaked with each splice, but otherwise a very nice run."
Total: 154.5 Points!
VGBMichael:
1: Exweele, 24/40 "It looks very small and angry, yet I would like to befriend it. maybe someone really ground its gears" "Endearing but a bit shoddily crafted. Nevertheless, I want 20."
2: Smashwalker, 26.5/40 "The poor thing probably wishes its arms weren't so thin. I wonder how it manages to lift its arms, let alone walk with such stubby feet." (Makki's note: savage) "Creative, weird connection of feet to body, weird torso, kinda just looks like quagsire+metagross (though I can see bits of other pokemon in there)"
3: nope.png, 33/40 "Charmingly creepy." "A very good use of Unown that makes it look like its right at home with the horror aesthetic. A few small issues with the bendy bits connecting the eye to the legs aside, this one's really rad."
4: Crystop, 31/40 "Lots of weird things going on with the way its parts come together, but it's a cute idea with a lot of things going for it." "Strangely charming in its own way. The parts come together pretty strangely, but that's okay." "Looks like it could be an entirely unique Pokemon of its own. Very neat concept."
5: Whole collection, 31.5/40 "The coloring all together was mostly the same, or they didn't stand out enough. Seemed bland at first, due to that." "They're diverse in form, and I like how one half of them is blue and the other is grey." "Two raw splices is gonna cost you."
Total: 146 Points
Pulling ahead by a mere 8.5 points, PokemonScrap is our very first Steel Splicer! A close race and great work by VGBMichael!

I have a question, what's a raw splice? I'm not sure what I could've done to any of those splices that make the "raw".
With crystop, I noticed the way the parts come together made it look kinda wobbly, so I added the swirly eyes to try and make that look intentional. Also the half-blue half-gray thing was completely unintentional (they're not even the same shades of blue and gray), so I'm happy someone said they liked it when I was expecting to get points taken off for it.
