As aforementioned, I kinda wish contestants would avoid putting up their model to the resource section before at least the end of the deadline. :<
That being said, this is a pretty good model, with good animations & excellent use of in-game textures. Not sure how well it'd fit in-game... But it's pretty good overall. I love the face, the cool flail arm, and his Megaman/Samus-style gun-arm is schweet; do more with that! Beam weapons, super-charge-up-death-lazer, etc.
I
still think an alternative to those flags is a good idea. Heck, even removing them; he's plenty interesting without them.
