Toa of Gallifrey Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 (edited) My first physical MOC (a self-MOC, also) that wasn't either a reskin of an existing set, something almost entirely experimental, or something I found terrible or weird. (Please excuse the quality of the pictures) Toa Gabirod A Toa of Iron that was formerly a Nynrah Ghost who rebuilt his body to that similar of a Toa's to protect his fellow Fe-Matoran from foes. Later on he was given a Toa Stone from a mysterious Olmak-wearing Skakdi who acquired it from "a Matoran marching band from another dimension" and claimed he was sick of people trying to kill him for it. Toa Gabirod used it to become a proper Toa. Gabirod fought his fair share of battles alongside other Fe-Matoran that also rebuilt themselves to be stronger. Over the course of his battles he got quite damaged and had to patch himself up a couple times, much to his dismay at having to replace his broken orange armor for new red armor and having to use blue patches and bits which "wrecked his color scheme". Equipped a Kanohi Akaku (formerly a Kadin), a pair of mechanical wings he built, a sword he crafted himself out of Protosteel and a shield made by a friend with a strangely built Zamor Launcher attached to it. Some say the design of his Zamor Launcher was based on the blasters of a popular book series in Metru Nui known as "Hero Factory".

Mysterious Minifig Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I didn't realize that the head was made from system bricks and not just the standard Bionicle head. The rest of the body seems pretty ordinary, but that head is something I haven't seen before. The neck seems like it's a little too long, but I don't think there is anything you can do about it. The color scheme also appears to everywhere, but the back story does a good job of explaining it. It does make him seem a lot more battle worn. Very good job with this Toa.
