Petersheikah Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 (edited) Ehi there! I finally finished building Nuju and Onewa, and I decided to start posting all of them. Here's the first one I built, Toa Vakama!I decided to make him more muscular than the Metru build, to make him look like a skilled warrior. I tried a new style for his torso, and I still don't know if it looks cool or weird. Let me know what you think about it.He's symmetrical, except for his lower arms, which are different because one has the attachments for the Kanoka Disc Launcher, while the other one has a built in blade.I also made him black and dark red to make him harder to spot in the shadows, making him a great stealth ranged killer even without using his Huna. His fighting style consists in becoming invisible to take aim and load his Kanoka Discs, then turning off his mask power and striking the enemies without alerting them. Hope you'll like it! I experimented a bit with this MOC. I made him a slim waist and long upper legs, while making his shoulders, his torso and his feets bigger. I like his proportions, but his articulations aren't that great and it's a bit hard to pose. Hope I'll find a way to fix it. Suggestions are always appreciated, tomorrow I'll post another Toa Metru, probably Matau or Wenua. You can find him on MOCPages too!

joev14 Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 The bright red balljoints need to be swapped out with black ones, for sure.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 28, 2015 Share Posted January 28, 2015 Really cool look. The armour is very futuristic looking and fits the aesthetic of Metru Nui really well. I love the use of CCBS parts seamlessly with older parts. I'd probably describe this as "Vakama in a hard sci-fi reboot of BIONICLE". Only issue I have with it is the chest armour. I feel like there could be better pieces for that. Overall, a great job and can't wait to see the rest of the Metru as well! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might consider looking for a bunch of them on Ebay or Bricklink... Really cool look. The armour is very futuristic looking and fits the aesthetic of Metru Nui really well.

The chestplate might get some improvements, these two round plates are quite too big for him and they fall quite often. I just have to look for better pieces to replace them, and then I'll update it :V Quote My MOCPages Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnderscoreChronix Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Awesome!I think the chestplate looks a little... odd, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Munty Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I agree, the chestplate does look odd. It looks like boobs... Prettysure Vakama didn't have boobs... I think a lot of the proportions are off actually but it seems that's just me The feet for instance seem to disappear beneath those big lower legs and the waist is pretty tiny despite holding up a mammoth upper bod. Great build and very good use of parts but I think it still needs a little work to live up to it's full potential.

Petersheikah Posted February 15, 2015 Author Share Posted February 15, 2015 Here's a little update:I made him a way taller, especially his chest which was quite unproportioned. Quote My MOCPages Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, that's quite the change! I like the new chest armour but I honestly liked the previous versions proportions better. Felt a little more cohesive as a whole. This one just feels busy. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
