Wiriamu

Ah yes, poor Onepu. He got to be the head of the 2001 Matoran Nui and help Nuparu build the Boxor...and that was about it, apart from being thrown into the whole Mavrah story for the sake of being "hey, the McToran are still relevant!" It's funny; he and Kongu both got shorted on the Kolhii Matoran lines since they chose not to create the Onu-Koro and Le-Koro Kolhii teams. Would've been nice if they could have had a second set of 2003 Matoran with those two groups and a couple others like Nuparu and Kapura.

Sorry, I guess I just took your comment on the lack of parts used as some kind of insinuation that I had to pack this thing to the gills. What "silver spikes" did you have in mind, exactly? Also, if anyone else would like to comment I'd love to hear your input.

I fail to see why it needs to be a monstrosity of parts in order to win. Besides that, the whole point was to make a brown and tan MOC, and I've used the majority of those available in my collection-if you have some suggestions as to what else I could do I'd be open to it, but I think I've gone about as "all out" as I can without destroying my whole aesthetic.

Seeing the second half of that post takes a huge weight off my chest. I've been worried for days since I posted this chapter if I made the scene with Nilkuu too mean-spirited. Glad to hear you still like it, and as always I appreciate any feedback. Episode 3 will be up within the next few days. Episodes 3 and 4 are pretty good as well-solid work so far. Given your characterization of Nilkuu as a stereotypical chauvinist jock, his lines were pretty fitting-harsh, but fitting. I like how threatened he seems by Kivoda befriending Korgot. I'm sure he's due for some hard lessons once the six-man Protector team forms, and if he's smart he'll let them make him a better Okotan.

Do to your lack of pieces and not knowing what you still have, I'm not sure what advice I can offer. That said, I think you could connect the Rahkshi feet from the bottom of the foot rather than the top, this would make the legs look more uniform. P.S. I added a link in my signature that shows how to post the photos here, hope it helps in the future. Huh, interesting tips-I'll give them a shot. As mentioned previously, I don't currently have anything Generation 2. My collection of G1 consists of the following: 2001: The Toa Mata and McDonald's Kongu 2002: The Toa Nuva, Exo-Toa, Bohrok, Boxor with Nuparu, and Bohrok Va 2003: The Bohrok-Kal, Makuta, Rahkshi, Takanuva with Ussanuii, and Kolhii Takua (I got him as a gift without Pewku) 2004: The Toa Metru, Nidhiki, the Vahki, Krekka, Dume and Nivawk, and Lhikan and Kikanalo 2005: The Toa Hordika, Keetongu, the Rahaga, Sidorak, the Visorak, Roodaka, and the Toa Hagah 2006: The Toa Inika, Axonn, the Piraka, Brutaka, Vezon and Fenrakk, and Umbra 2007: The Toa Mahri, Maxilos and Spinax, the Barraki, Hydraxon, Lesovikk and Sea Sled, Karzahni with extras, and Nocturn. 2008: The Phantoka, Icarax, the Mistika, Mutran and Vican, Toa Ignika, and Takanuva. 2009: The Glatorian, Tuma, the Glatorian Legends, Toa Mata Nui, and the Agori. 2010: The Stars.

Quite an impressive work-it's hard to believe that head is made out of Bionicle pieces.

So...I'm guessing no one has any feedback on version 2.0? If so then I guess that's the one I'll post for the contest.

Chapter 7 Location: Aqua Magna coast. It was hard to say which party was more surprised by what happened next, the two teams of Toa and their Rahi ally or Irnakk and his Skakdi horde. A chilling howl split the air-more chilling to the Mahri than to others present, for they had heard it before. The source soon appeared as an army of Zyglak came charging from the direction opposite that from which the Mahri and their Skakdi pursuers had come and crashed into the Skakdi. The first wave was soon joined by another, and the Hagah were stunned to recognize an Ice Tribe Glatorian in their midst along with a massive Skrall that they recognized from what they had been told of Spherus Magna's history as Tuma. Tuma noticed the multicolored heroes as well, but his Zyglak allies were too busy to notice the Toa. Their sights were set on the Skakdi, whom they were eager to wreak vengeance upon for the destruction of those Zyglak who had united under Spiriah to attack Zakaz. In truth, the fleet had been decimated by members of Ehlek's people acting on instructions from the Order of Mata Nui, but the Zyglak had no way of knowing this. All they knew was where their fallen brethren had been going, and they were eager to deal out their own version of justice to the grinning hordes. Irnakk, stunned by this turn of events, was caught off guard as the Toa took advantage of the distraction. Hahli and Gaaki pooled their powers together, creating a wave that swallowed the golden creature and dragged him out to sea. The two Toa of Water kept up their efforts until Irnakk was out of sight, an exertion that left them quite weak. As such, Jaller supported Hahli as the Mahri turned their attention to scaling the cliff to join the Hagah, with Kualus taking charge of Gaaki while his teammates endeavored to help the Mahri up the steep surface. Not eager to see such powerful potential enemies escape, Tuma began advancing towards them-only to be bulled into the cliff some distance away by Keetongu. With Irnakk's concentration broken, Keetongu's bonds-conjured through Avak's powers-had dissolved, leaving the mighty Rahi free. Using his unique sight, Keetongu had looked upon the disgraced Skrall leader and seen evil-though not power-rivaling that of the fallen Makuta. Unable to tolerate such wickedness, or to stand by while he menaced the weakened heroes, Keetongu had charged the black and green titan. His red eyes narrowing as he faced Keetongu, the villain raised his black sword in challenge. "So, another gold-armored interloper seeks to interfere with the mighty Tuma! I may have lost to that runt in the fancy mask, but I will not lose again!" With that, Tuma charged Keetongu, and the Rahi was forced back by his impressive strength. However, Keetongu had power to spare, and struck with his pickaxe tool at the Skrall leader. Tuma was forced to block the strike with his sword, but Keetongu's power caused him to stagger backwards. Roaring, he lifted the Thornax launcher in his other hand and fired it at Keetongu, and this time it was the noble beast's turn to be surprised by the strength of the attack. Sneering, Tuma fired off another Thornaxx, but this time Keetongu was ready with his whirling shields. Their spinning absorbed the force of the blast, which ran through Keetongu's armor and into his Rhotuka launcher. His chestplate soon opened and launched a spinner at Tuma, which exploded with the force of the Thornaxx. The attack knocked Tuma off his feet and destroyed his launcher, and the stunned Skrall was barely able to get his sword up in time to catch the next strike of Keetongu's pickaxe. Recovering, Tuma leaped upon his attacker, slashing at Keetongu's golden armor with his black blade. A deep scratch was left in Keetongu's chestplate, but Tuma was then driven back as Keetongu swung his whirling shields at Tuma. Cursing in the Skrall tongue, Tuma found himself longing for his Saw Blade Shield, but contented himself with another slash at Keetongu. The strike flew surprisingly true, knocking Keetongu's pickaxe from his grip. Tuma had not long to enjoy his unexpected success, for Keetongu's free hand closed into a fist that soon swung towards him. Winded by the blow-the strongest he had ever felt-Tuma was lifted off his feet and knocked flying into the nearby cliff face. The power of the strike, combined with the impact of Tuma's back against the cliff on the very weak spot Mata Nui had discovered during their battle, proved too much for the warlord's tolerance. With a final groan, Tuma toppled forward, his red eyes already dark as he hit the shallow water and lay there unmoving. His task done, Keetongu moved to the cliff face which the Mahri had successfully scaled and climbed it with little effort to join his allies. Only Strakk watched him go, as the Skakdi and Zyglak were still fighting viciously with no care for anything else. However, before the Ice Tribe exile could contemplate the situation long, another wave came billowing towards shore, but instead of crashing rose higher and higher above the battling hordes. The sight was enough to halt the clashing monsters, and they were even more stunned as Irnakk emerged from the wave completely unharmed by his underwater adventure. Stunning as that was, it paled in comparison to the wave suddenly changing shape, taking on a roughly humanoid form. At the top of it's body was formed a massive bubble filled with more water, in which a shadowy face with gleaming yellow eyes became visible. Strakk gaped, recognizing the form of the Element Lord of Water, which he had not seen in over 100,000 years. The towering elemental looked down upon the awestruck armies in silence for a moment, before speaking with a voice that boomed like the crash of a wave. "Greetings, newcomers to my world-I am Tajun, Lord of Water, and the rightful ruler of this planet. The power of the ones you call 'Toa' drew me to this place, and I discovered the leader of you Skakdi out at sea. We have spoken and he has acquainted me with your two races and the conflict between you, which I wish to dissuade you of. You both have common enemies far more worthy of your hatred, and your enemies have allied with mine. We can achieve vengeance together...or you can join that dead Skrall in a watery grave." Strakk weighed the Element Lord's words carefully and soon came to a conclusion: if he tried to lead the Zyglak himself and refuse Tajun's offer, he would perish. If he sided with the former leader of the Water Tribe and the Zyglak refused to, he would at least have a chance of surviving with Tajun and the Skakdi to protect him. As such, he stepped forward and knelt before the towering figure of Tajun, holding out his ice axe in a gesture of submission. "I, Strakk, once of the Ice Tribe, pledge myself to the Element Lord of Water! If the Zyglak would see their own dreams of vengeance fulfilled, I advise them to do likewise!" For a long moment the Zyglak and Skakdi remained silent, leaving Strakk wondering if battle would soon resume. However, the Zyglak eventually bowed and held out their weapons in imitation of Strakk's gesture, signifying their own allegiance to the Element Lord of Water. The Skakdi, who lacked such protocols, contented themselves with shouting in exultation, firing weapons and elemental and vision powers into the sky. Keetongu and the two Toa teams, still near enough to witness the display and hear what had transpired, began moving again at double speed for the Matoran-Agori camp. Location: Bota Magna wilds. Mazeka, the only Matoran ever inducted as a full member of the Order of Mata Nui, shook his head at the sight of his unlikely ally sitting in the midst of a growing crowd of biomechanical reptiles. Teridax-an alternate version of the identically named Makuta who had briefly ruled Mazeka's universe before being defeated by Mata Nui-seemed as happy as the Ko-Matoran had ever seen him, speaking in gentle tones to the beasts. Almost as stunning, the creatures seemed to understand him readily, and even natural predators and prey seemed at ease in the noble Makuta's presence. "Do you always go looking for new pets after you kill corrupted Toa, or is this a special occasion?" Teridax frowned at his ally, laying a hand upon the head of a docile Bota Magna creature whose eyes doubled as scopes for a pair of cannons fused to its back. "You speak so callously of our recent conflict, Mazeka. I took no pleasure from slaying Toa corrupted by my foul counterpart-they were not in their own minds, and under other circumstances would undoubtedly have stood with us against our fallen foe. As for my affiliation with these creatures, my kind were created to give life and care to their brothers in my home universe, though it saddens me to see these twisted into instruments of war." "All of which means exactly nothing in terms of hooking up with my friends-or even other Matoran, for that matter," muttered the impatient Order operative. He and Teridax had emerged from the inactive Great Spirit robot some time ago and moved into the Bota Magna region, but so far they had not had any success in locating other inhabitants of the Matoran Universe. Given all that had apparently transpired since he and Vultraz had departed their home reality, he was eager to hook back up with the Order of Mata Nui and get up to speed. So far all he had learned was that his Makuta ally was more annoying that he had previously believed, and that he hated this miserable jungle. Suddenly, Teridax's "pets" tensed and began making various noises of distress, prompting the white-armored Makuta to rise to his feet and produce the warhammer that was his primary weapon in combat. Mazeka drew a dagger and moved as close as he dared to his towering associate. Though he couldn't see what had disturbed the creatures, he knew that anything capable of unsettling such creatures-some of them 40 feet tall or larger and equipped with enough ammunition to have leveled the fortress on Destral-was worth worrying about. Sure enough, the skies above them were suddenly lit with a blast of fire, and its source came into view with terrifying swiftness. Mazeka groaned as he recognized the long serpentine form covered in scales resembling Masks of Power from the work Rahi Beasts previously contained in the Daxia library: the Kanohi Dragon, twice over the scourge of Metru Nui and the longtime unwilling resident of Xia. He recalled hearing reports of the beast's release after Botar had rather sadistically teleported a Tahtorak to that industrialized nightmare of a city, but would have expected it to be recaptured. Clearly it had not, and had made it's own escape from the Matoran Universe to make it's way to this jungle. Now it seemed that their new world would feel its wrath, and the devastation would undoubtedly be great as it's natives retaliated with their own devastating power. With swiftness belying its massive size, the Kanohi Dragon landed a short distance away from the cluster of reptiles around Teridax and Mazeka, a low growl emerging from it's throat. Mazeka tensed, fearing the seemingly inevitable firestorm to come-and was surprised when Teridax began moving slowly towards the great reptile. Bota Magna's native giants growled and hissed as their newfound friend made his way towards the strange newcomer, but did not make any movements as Teridax came to a stop mere feet from the creature. Teridax looked the Kanohi Dragon right in the eyes for a long moment before willing his warhammer to disappear back into his substance and reaching out to lay a hand on the beast's snout. "You have been through much, mighty beast, and your heart is angered-yet you are not malicious, merely a predator who has been unfortunate in your hunting grounds. This world might be just the place for a creature like you, where there is space for you to hunt and to be left in peace by those who would otherwise feel threatened by you. However, you must be safeguarded from those who would seek to exploit your power for their own purposes." "Strange words from one who would seem like just such an opportunist," came a voice from nearby. Startled, Mazeka whirled while Teridax turned himself slowly to regard another newcomer, one who looked like many of the other reptilian residents of Bota Magna. However, this illusion was shattered as the reptilian form twisted and changed, resolving into the form of a Toa of Water wearing a Mask of Translation. For the second time, the Ko-Matoran groaned as he recognized another Rahi spoken of in the Rahaga's encyclopedia. "I thought you were trapped in the Zone of Darkness over a thousand years ago, Krahka. Did you bring the Kraawa with you, or is there some other rare and dangerous Rahi waiting to emerge from those trees?" Raising an eyebrow at Mazeka's knowledge of her identity, Krahka spoke again. "You are a curious one, Matoran-I would know how you came by your knowledge. For now, though, I think that you and your curious companion would be more useful outside of this strange jungle. Your fellow Matoran and many of the other denizens of our universe are imperiled, and while I have no great love for them, I would rather take my chances with the foes I know than with unfamiliar enemies." "And if we are not of a mind to accompany you?" This question came from Teridax, whose tone raised the hackles of the Kanohi Dragon and the Bota Magna natives. Krahka looked around at them for a moment, and then her form began to change yet again. When it was done, the form of Toa Nokama had been replaced with a monstrous behemoth, it's body composed of elements from each of the six Toa Metru. "You'll find I can be...argumentative." Location: Great Beings’ fortress. The fortress of the Great Beings had changed from a scene of reunion to a scene of panic in a rapid amount of time as word of Nynrah's actions in their absence was shared by the council of Heremus, Odina, Xia, Zakaz, and Daxia. The unfortunate Velika stood alongside them in Nynrah's pink-armored body, nervous at all the piercing stares that the other Great Beings were directing his way; it felt uncomfortably like being on a dissection table. Even Papa Nihu had followed the three Great Beings who had come to visit her out of her cavern, and her creators could tell that the discomfiture her revelations had caused was pleasing her more than a little. However, Heremus was determined not to let the organic being have the last laugh, and spoke to his people with authority. "My brothers and sisters, hear me! It is true that the revelations of Papa Nihu and the being who now wears our brother Nynrah's form are troubling, but we must not give in to panic! We have always been beings of calm and rational thought, acting as we thought best-and look at what has come of it! Our shattered planet has been restored and imbued with greater life than it ever possessed-shall we allow one malcontent and his activities to drive us off it once again?" A chorus of "No!" rang up from the crowd, much to Heremus' pleasure. However, his improving mood was spoiled as Papa Nihu "spoke," with her voice filling the minds of all present. "A noble sentiment, Heremus-until you consider that those blessings have come to this world more in spite of you than because of you! As usual, you pride yourselves on the positive consequences of your actions, forgetting all the while that such things have been entirely beyond your control! And of course, you seek to downplay the negatives, even though time and again they have brought about greater disaster than any you have managed to avert!" If there was anything worse than having to admit-at least to himself-that Papa Nihu was right, it was that Odina soon spoke up in support. "Papa Nihu speaks the truth, Heremus! You have ever been one to speak of grand ambitions and success, when most often our 'victories' have come by pure chance! What might have happened, do you think, had Mata Nui not discovered our prototype robot, or had he not been able to make it function? The one sentiment you have expressed that I agree with is that we must not panic, but neither must we act as though there is no cause for concern!" "Dear sister, how you love to undercut others," remarked Daxia. "Do you honestly believe that one Great Being-even one as brilliant as Nynrah-in the body of a Matoran can possibly pose a threat to us? Even if he can assemble some force-whether of the rabble of Spherus Magna or the inhabitants of the Mata Nui robot-we know all their weaknesses and have the means to exploit them. There is nothing to fear, I say-nothing at all!" Daxia's words evoked a response that no one could have predicted: a single, cold voice laughing hysterically. Though it was coming from an artificial throat, the voice was disturbingly familiar; everyone present had heard it before, though not for a very long time. As one, the Great Beings turned to regard the being who had entered their fortress unnoticed, without setting off any of its defenses. His form was that of a small, twisted Po-Matoran with two Power Carvers held ready in his hands-but the light in his yellow eyes made it clear that something else lurked inside that mind. "Oh, you have great reason to fear indeed, my dear Daxia-unless you side with me. For, my friends, I am not your enemy-not at all. I am the one who will lead us into a glorious new age of peace and prosperity, in which our creations and the inhabitants of this world-our subjects by right and virtue of our great intelligence and power-shall serve us as they were always meant to. Even now, my plans unfold to insure that the most dangerous are eliminated, while the remainder are left in no condition to oppose us. Join me...and we shall take back what is ours." For a long moment, silence reigned in the chamber, as the Great Beings struggled to process what their deranged brother had said. Then Zakaz stepped away from the other council members, perhaps purposefully taking a position nearer to Velika and Papa Nihu. "Nynrah, you were my brother once-the work we did together brought joy to my life when it was for the benefit of others. But clearly the past 100,000 years and whatever you have endured in that Matoran form have changed you into a would be tyrant, every bit as depraved as the Element Lords. I will not side with you, and I will stand with all others who are willing to defy you!" Without pause, Odina walked over to stand with Zakaz; however, the trio of Heremus, Daxia, and Xia stayed where they were. The crowd of Great Beings looked up at the clear division between those they had always looked to for leadership, clearly uncertain how to react to the situation. Nynrah's eyes narrowed, and with a wave of his hand he opened a window in the wall of the chamber. Curious, all the Great Beings and the two outsiders in their midst turned their attention to the aperture-and an audible gasp was heard. For outside, surrounding the fortress, were thousands of Matoran of every color, equal to the largest number that had ever existed within the Matoran Universe. Among them were hundreds of Toa and similar numbers of Turaga, all of them looking up at the fortress in expectation. It would have been an awe-inspiring sight to anyone, and more so to those who had inhabited the Great Spirit robot. For though divided into every tribe found in that robot, these Matoran, Toa, and Turaga were reversed: all the Ga-, Vo-, and Ce-Matoran and their accompanying Toa and Turaga were male, while the other tribes-minus the mixed Av-Matoran-were all female. The expressions and feelings of those within the fortress were varied: Velika's eyes filled with tears at the sight of true members of his own kind for the first time in over 100,000 years, while Papa Nihu's expression became almost tender as she looked at the beings who would have inhabited the universe she would have helped bring to life. For the Great Beings looking upon the massive crowd below, feelings ranged from pride to astonishment to dread. But for Nynrah, the only feeling that seemed to exist was a sense of triumph-irrefutable triumph. "Perhaps you wish to reconsider your choice, Zakaz? After all, it was I who awakened the legions who now surround this fortress, and it is I that they wait for. If you side with me, they can be the army that helps us to bring the rest of this untamed world of ours into line. If you remain...disagreeable...then yours can be the first body that they march over as I lead them to victory." To be continued...

...I have never been more terrified by a MOC.

Not trying to double post, but I thought perhaps posting the revised gallery link down here might draw more attention. Any feedback is appreciated. https://www.flickr.com/photos/143590374@N03/sets/72157668994096123

Interesting concept.

Well, if Rebrick is looking for an entry that most closely resembles Journey to One Makuta, you definitely win.

Yeah, that's been the feedback from quite a few people. But the way I see it, Makuta's always had something of a fluid appearance-some elements do tend to crop up fairly often, but given his G2 transition from a purple and gold dwarf to a towering black giant with some red and gold elements, I don't find it much of a leap to something like this. So, does anyone know how I can edit the post title to make it clear that the revised gallery is up?

Embodiment of evil: achieved.

I appreciate the input-I honestly wasn't going to use Carapar parts, but I couldn't think of a good way to get another set of legs on there without his waist piece. I did have the thought that the legs might be better placed differently-I appreciate the feedback. Using the same parts for all the legs might be a bit tricky, seeing as how I only have one of each set to work with. I did fear that the back was a bit skeletal-now I just gotta figure out how to beef it up without impairing its flexibility. So they have-I knew about it but thought I was cool just announcing spoilers. The use of G1 parts was less ironic and more practical-I haven't collected anything G2 as yet, which is one of the reasons the contest intrigued me so much. Standing out was my objective, thank you, and I get where you're coming from with it not being recognizable-it's hard to reconcile the "new form" with it being Makuta. I had actually thought of using Takanuva's darkened Avohkii as his mask to get that kind of vibe, but it's hard to work it into this insectoid form I was going for.

Hope I won't get in trouble for double-posting, but I've got the MOC page going now: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/23078-mask-hoarder-desert-scourge/

Well, here is version 1.0 of my entry for the Makuta contest, as promised in http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/23064-a-question-for-my-compatriots/ NOTE: Some spoilers for the final episodes to Journey to One are contained in this post. https://www.flickr.com/photos/143590374@N03/albums/72157668915866814 Posted at Flickr since I can't figure out how to upload my photos to BZPower. As I'd stated in my previous thread, I noticed that most of the Makuta MOCs being produced for the Building Contest looked like variations on the Shadow Titan designs for Makuta of both G1 and G2 or other humanoid forms, usually with black, red, and gold being prominent colors. I wanted to get away from that for my entry, and had a thought: what if Makuta had mutated into a creature well suited to terrorize the Region of Stone? I also wanted to try producing a BIONICLE version of a creature that hadn't really been adapted into the mythos yet, and came up with a centipede. If you'll look it doesn't match the exact specifications, but hey, we're talking about a universe where bulls and tigers have a tread in place of back legs and where spiders can have four or six legs as opposed to eight. It's my first real attempt at a MOC, and I kinda just pieced together by cannibalizing various sets: Pohatu MataPohatu NuvaPahrakPahrak KalPanrahkZadakhOnewa MetruOnewa HordikaRoporakAvakCaraparVoroxZesk? (can't remember if I actually used any of its pieces in the end)Mata Nui (stole his unhelmeted Glatorian head to do blue eyes instead of red, a little nod to 2003 Teridax)Well, here it is, hope you like it, and don't hesitate to criticize or advise. I know I've got time left in which to enter, and I can use that time to improve this thing. Also, if anybody knows how to get photos uploaded direct to BZPower, I'd love to know. EDIT: Based on some of the feedback I received, I've tweaked the design somewhat-bulking up the body and moving some limbs around. New gallery for version 2.0 can be viewed here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/143590374@N03/albums/72157668994096123

I honestly wasn't sure where to put it. I did have an invertebrate in mind-once I've got it built I'll post so y'all can give me some feedback.

So I'm looking to enter the Makuta Building Contest, and as I've been looking at entries so far it seems like the general approach is variations of either the Shadow Titan look, the Mask Maker look, or something Toa like. I'd like to make an entry-which I will post here-that differs from the norm. I'm planning something non-humanoid, and am thinking I'll really go out there by utilizing pieces from brown and tan colored Bionicle sets, which have the history of being the least popular for cosmetic value. I'll be posting it here in addition to on Rebrick. So what do y'all think? Am I inspired by the same muse as the great Hafu the Carver, or I am more lost than Protector Nilkuu in the Region of Jungle?

The Journey to One Makuta from the contest video would be nice.

They should release a mask set with the two absent corrupted Master masks, the three absent corrupted Uniter masks, and the G2 Mask of Time.

Three words: G2 Onua SMASH!

Wow...is jock Nilkuu's middle name Ahkmou? He's certainly enough of a jerk to be related to him-makes G2 Pohatu seem like Mr. Sunshine. Still loving things so far, and your little nod to Revenge of the Skull Spiders was genius. I wonder how the nerds would freak out if they could read said supplementary story and realize that they're IN it.

Quite an awesome piece of work, I approve. The thought occurred that if you went in true Super Saiyan style-where the only thing that changes about the character is their hair and eyes-you could use a similar style to recreate the Toa Mata in homage to both Dragonball Z and their Golden Masks from year one.
