Toa Zyklona


Recommended Posts

This mighty Toa has supreme command over the power of the wind. He can shape it into forceful gusts to attack his enemies at range. He can also add its force to his fist strikes, amplifying their power. But most notably, he calls it forth to lift him from the ground by his wings, granting himself wind-powered flight and aerial dominance.

 

I got the name Zyklona from the German word "zyklon", which means cyclone or tornado.

 

Edit: Based on feedback, I took off some of the torso armor.  The next 2 pics are the revised version.  Below that are the originals.  Which do you like better?

I love the way his wings are attached. Also, while the chest does stick out a lot, it actually looks really good on this MOC. While most Bionicle flying MOCs are sleek and smooth, this guy has more of a chunky, mechanical feel. It works really well, and the bio about wind powers is fitting. I see him as the guy who flies around, using his size to basically be a flying tank. Overall, an awesome MOC.

I HATE SCORPIOS

Overall, it's built well, but I think the Barraki head as chest armour doesn't fit with the rest of the model, because of its brighter coloring.  I like the clear teeth across the armour in particular, but I can't tell what piece attaches them from the pictures.

Looks really nice, but the Takadox skull seems a little out of place, and looking at the torso a bit more closely it seems like it didn't need to be there. Although, without it, there would be a gap between the chest and the neck, so...maybe not. Using Mata feet as the thighs is interesting but it looks a little gappy.

Gah, that sounded too negative, didn't it? :/ It's cool. I love the colors and the torso build looks pretty neat.

That is the single most complex torso I've ever seen in my life.

Well thanks! Not specifically what I was going for, but I guess it's something right? lol

 

I'm getting a lot of feedback on the chest armor. It's really interesting to me that it's the most disliked feature of this build, but yet it's my favorite thing about it. Funny how that works eh?

 

In any case thanks for your input fellas. Definitely some food for thought there.

I think this is great! :) I just found this topic now and I do think the revised version looks good. From what I remember of MOCing, sometimes it can be hard to allow yourself to use less pieces instead of more!

 

Anyway, I think the color scheme fits the idea perfectly! The clear Bohrok eyes are a really nice way of involving the wind element without using white and suggesting an Ice Toa. And the three shades of blue provide enough variety that this big MOC is very interesting to look at! :) The Nui-Jaga/Takua's light blue Pakari is a great choice; the only other light blue mask I think would look cool enough would be Nokama's Huna (I like Hunas :P). The Bohrok-Kal shields on the legs are also really cool.

 

Great work and thanks for posting! :)
