VBBN Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I've been wanting to get back into MOCing lately and finally sat down for a bit yesterday and threw something together. (it's also worth noting, I know there are those canon contests going on right now and this character is a future contender, this was not designed with those in mind, this is obviously an artistic take on the character and not at all what I would assume to be canon.) 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheZOMBIEJ Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 (edited) i never liked the concept ov the Marendar (what a name, i tell ya! lol)! the word "Marendar" apparently means "salvation" in Matoran! and it's purpose was to kill Toa! who the heck came up with this bull?! the Toa are supposed to be the main Heroes no matter what Toa team they're on! and the Marendar was made to freaking KILL THEM??? this is heresy! the Toa are the good guys and someone built the Marendar to kill the good guys! and what "salvation" does this bring? i'll tell you right now, IT DOESN'T!! the creator ov the Marendar (in the story, at least) was clearly some kind ov evil mastermind who saw the Toa as irrelevant and unjustifiable! and what it this mastermind trying to achieve by killing Toa? i think he's trying to prevent any Toa heroes to be part ov society and force the poor villagers (Matoran, Agori, Turaga, etc.) to suffer by being vulnerable to enemy attacks, disappearances, deaths, etc.! this is nuts! this is unholy! THIS IS ABSOLUTE HERESY!! grr! lol that being said; this MOC looks freaking awesome! it's very colorful with nice contrasts here and there! the Toa killing death laser looks really cool! and overall, it's a really interesting take on a monstrosity obviously created by a heretic! it also looks like one ov those weird mecha you see in like Ninjago or even in one (or many) ov those mecha anime series! nice job, dude! well done!

Mushy the Mushroom Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 Absolutely stellar! The color scheme and face design details look excellent. Very nice use of the brick separators as well! Quote Member-Made Emote Topic Original Mush art thanks to @Bambi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The makuta were the good guys too...until they weren't. I think it was meant just in case toa ever went bad, like in Tuyet's toa empire, where they went very bad and enslaved everyone. Just like how artahka created counter measures against makuta, someone needed a counter to toa. That's said, this MOC is beautiful! I love everything about, the color choices, the arm cannon, the body proportions. Very well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Inika Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Excellent model. It looks like Robby the Robot in attack mode. Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 Yeah, this definitely isn't what I'd imagine Marendar would look like, but I really adore those colors and the torch hand. Well done! Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts. I've been hoping to get back in touch for a long time now. (Don't worry, I'm not gonna beg you to bring back MLWTB or something. ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
