Salik,

Nice work. Here are some suggestions to refine it a little bit.

You made a pretty good comment about needing the machine hands to be less menacing and more in touch with the rest of the work. I would adjust the lighting and or maybe the materials to lose the stark Black and Whiteness of the hands. Take a look at the way the head is lit, you don't see such harsh lighting on it. Maybe give the metal a little color, brown or blue. Your reflections, if your using them might be reflecting the black environment.

As far as the text, I would at the least adjust the placement.
But overall I think the Text could look cooler and look less like a plain CG bump mapped. I suggest making the text look like its inside this marble ball.
Think ,Lord of rings, There is the swirling dragon in the evil ball.
I would try doing it in Photoshop, Layout the text, apply a Bulge distort, and try some of the transfer modes. Also maybe have the words read vertically, it would work a little better in the composition you have. Should have room for the Team # as well.
