Makava.

MAKAVA.

 

 

Makava is a very strange Toa. Not much is known about his origin, but according to him the first thing he remembers is a vision of an immaculate white boardroom, surrounded by 'set designers' talking about whether to release him as an 'exclusive set' or not, but in the end he was dropped, at which point he suddenly woke up in a cave with no memory of the rest of his life except for one crucial fact: that he was just a character in a popular toy range, and that he was axed at an early development stage for being 'too overpowered'. On that day he also gained a strange voice in his head, which only he could hear. This voice said he was a set designer for BIONICLE, and that only Makava could hear him because of a mental link between them for some reason. 

 

No-one really knows this Toa's element, but Makava himself claims he is "The Toa of fourth-wall breaking", but some Matoran believe he is actually "The Toa of Laziness" as he doesn't really do much other than relax and, in his own words "sit on his fat arse all day", but occasionally he does help the other Toa protect Mata Nui, mainly to prove to the voice in his head that he is worth producing as a proper set someday.

 

 

More pictures of Makava looking awesome here!

 

 

Enjoy!

Okay I guess I should do the welcoming since no-one else has volunteered.

 

Welcome to BZPower! It's a magical place, which I guess you might have known for some time, since this place is pretty famous. 

 

Second order of business: your MOC!

Truth be told, it's a bit of a "clone", which essentially means that the MOC does not incorporate any unique features; just prefab limbs, head, and body (something that irks quite a lot of Bionicle builders). That and the fact that the MOC only uses white on the forearms. This is an example of color incoherence, which takes away a bit more from the overall appearance. Finally, the MOC's rather bland color scheme is another minus IMHO. 

That being said, the silver lining (hehe, see what I did there) is the fact that the armor is creative in some places, which does seem to redeem it in some aspects. 

 

I don't mean to offend you at all; forgive me if my tone has done anything of that sort. The fact of the matter is that when you post here, you're pretty much expecting criticism. Which is a good thing, because people who criticize your MOC's mean to help you improve what they think is wrong with it.  It's not a bad MOC, but it's not special.

Its legs and thigh armor are also white, but the sub-par lighting makes it hard to tell.

They're actually Pearl Very Light Gray if you wanna be precise. Cuz the entire color scheme of Thok was of that color. But yeah, the lighting kinda made it hard to tell.

I just checked it on Brickset and you are right. I always thought white pieces were just plain old Mata white, and that things like Pearl Very Light Gray didn't exist. I guess its like comparing the gray color of the Rahkshi legs to the gray color of Pohatu Phantoka's body. Now that I see it, the minor color differences are kind of annoying.

These transcend just these two colors; you have variants like Flat Silver, Pearl Light Grey (post-2005 silver), then "New" Flat Silver (quite similar to Flat Silver - the latter being used in 2010 onwards for Stars and HF), Dark Grey (Used in all sets pre-2004) and Dark Bluish Grey (the one used currently). It really is a nightmare getting those right (especially the two dark greys). I recommend asking Anachir more about LEGO colors, since he seems to know the most about them.
