Toa Genris

You've done it again. You're work is simply increadible. This is the absolute best rendition of any vortix i've ever seen. I don't know what to say other than 10/10. Fantastic job.PS: I'd like to see Mata Nui (bara magna form) or teridax sometime!

Did we ever find out what happened to the 6 named matoran on Metru Nui (nuhri, ahkmou, etc) after they disappeared after helping the Toa Metru find the legendary disks?

I've gotta say, this is just amazing. I must say I love alll of your work. Matoro and the mask were simply astonishing and now takadox is mind blowing! great job and keep building! 10/10

Good job here.I like the incorperation of masks into the design. 9/10

To make clarification on the color schemes, the biggest problem was the availability of the pieces in the colors i needed, so I had to do with what I could. Jehu is actually supposed to be kind of a jumble of colors, since his power was transfered into the suit, leaving him with only minor remains of his former power and adopting the black of the exo toa , and the exo toa taking on his red and blue colors.About the pieces protruding from Lenfark's shoulders, those are just armor additions I put on to take up some space on his back (cause it was really empty). Once I get all the pics on brickshelf I'll put a link on here to the rest of the shots.

The tale of the Toa Xenoian is a sad story filled with betrayal, destruction, pain, ridicule and in the end, redemption. Each one of the Toa in this team has lost their title of Toa in one way or another, and each is trying to regain their honor. So with this introduction, I give you: The Toa Xenoian.Ginaku, Toa of PsionicsGinaku was once the guardian of The Sacred Sword of Abrak. The weapon was not to be touched, but when the makuta attacked the citadel, her only option was to take up the mighty sword to stop them. The sword, which is one of the three legendary weapons, bonded itself to her psychically, and has remained with her ever since. She was banished for breaking the oath she took to never touch the sword.Mask: ShieldingWeapons: Sacred Sword of Abrak, Guardian hand Sickle, Knight ShieldLenfark, Toa of NatureLenfark was once a part of an elite toa team duringthe war against the brotherhood of Makuta. He was gravely wounded in the war and was left for dead, but when he returned, they accused him of beingan imposter and exiled him. He took to the wilderness, where he found one of the companions to the Sacred Sword of Abrak, a legendary axe known as the Call of the Wild. He later saved Gravlix, a Toa of Plasma form being mutated into a Hordika.Mask: KindredWeapons: Call of the Wild, Nomadic hand bladeMorphix, Toa of SleepMorphix was drafted into the toa army during the war, but being a toa of sleep, he was lazy and undevoted. During the night, he put the camp to sleep and escaped, but was found and imprisoned later. He was eventually released but stripped of his title of toa. Before becoming part of the Toa Xenoian team, he worked as a traveling dream interpreter.Mask: IllusionsWeapons: Legion Mace, Hand AxeAngruhil, Toa of MagnetismAngruhil was a legionary sergeant underneath Legion Commander Jehu in the Phalanx Legion. He himself never did anything to lose his Toa title, but he was so loyal to Jehu that when the commander was forsaken, Angruhil followed him into exile. He is technically the Leader of the Toa Xenoian, but he believes that Jehu should lead them.Mask: TruthWeapons: Phalanx Spear, Legionary ScimitarGravlix, Toa of PlasmaGravlix was only a Matoran hunter during the Brotherhood war. He was hunting when he came across a dying toa who had crawled away from the battlefield. The dying hero gave all his power to Gravlix, turning him into a Toa. When Gravlix returned to his village, he found it under attack of makuta forces. His mask, which turned out to be a Felnas (mask of disruption), was activated by the anger he felt and his powers overloaded, destroying much of the village and gravely wounding the makuta. afraid of what he had done, he ran into the wilderness, where he was eventually captured by visorak and poisoned. Lenfark then arrived and dispersed the visorak with his mask of Kindred and stopped the poison from completely consuming Gravlix. He was partially mutate into a Hordika, but still has use of his mask power, but not the use of the partially developed rhotuka spinner on his back. His mace weapon also became part of his right armMask: Felnas, mask of DisruptionWeapons: Plasma Tentacle Mace, hunting knife(strapped to arm)Jehu, Toa of Atomic ManipulationJehu was once one of the most renowned Toa ever. He was a Legion Commander during the war against the brotherhood, in which he rode into battle in a custom exo-toa suit time and time again. Later during a critical battle, Jehu faced Makuta Miserix himself. Miserix used his mask of Mutation to alter jehu's powers, making it so his mighty powers could only be used when we wore the exo-toa, but without it, he was powerless. Later in the same battle, jehu, who was extremely stressed by the earlier encounter, accidentally unleashed his power on an unsuspecting makuta, killing the villain. Jehu was kicked out of the legion for breaking the Toa code. He was able to keep his Exo-Toa. He holds enormous regret inside himself for his previous actions.Mask: TelekinesisWeapons: Energized Blade(exo-toa), modified Mikad SKyblaster(exo-toa), pilot's knife.

This looks really good, but the one thing is the shoulders seem to be pretty far back on his torso. Other than that, this is an amazing moc. Love the color scheme by the way! 8/10

Do toa and matoran age? My biggest question is this: Do toa eventually die from age, or do they live forever unless they are killed?

Not bad. GOod job, but I think his hands could do well with some claws! 8/10

This looks really good! I like that it has that custom look to it. Great job. May I ask why his name is Saver?

What are toa called when they break the toa code and become unworthy to have the title of toa? They still appear to be toa, and can't be called matoran, so what would you call them?

all right, but I was thinking more of a public approach to get lots of input like on a normal post. Thanks for the help

A teal and a purple hero in Hero Factory would be awesome. Teal is great for anything but is so uncommon and purple is good for almost anything as well, but especially female MOCs and the like

Yeah, I am trying to make characters for a fanfiction that I had an idea for, and need some help on deciding a few things and didn't know where I should post to ask for help from the other members

Where should I post to get advice on MOCing or to get peoples advice on creating a new toa team (being specific on the latter question)?

Has Hydraxon's mask power ever been announced? I haven't ever seen it used or ever heard of what it does. (I was just curious since I'm working on building a new toa team and needed mask power ideas)

Yeah. the legs are somewhat weak since he is so tall, and it's really hard to stand him up, which is a definite con. although, Megatron I built to be much taller than Optimus(like he is in the movies), until Optimus puts on the Jetfire armor, which makes them just about the same;Thanks for all the input!

A few years ago, my brother drew a team of toa, each with a new power, and it was really cool, so I wanted to see what the rest of you on BZP thought would be cool as a new power. If you were to have a toa with an element that hasn't been made official yet, what would it be?

Since I did a post of Optimus, it is only fitting that I post his arch nemesis, MegatronTo start, here is his full, non-shrunken picture:http://www.brickshel...formers/037.jpgA close-up on the torso and head: http://www.brickshel...formers/039.jpgHis cannon arm: http://www.brickshel...formers/038.jpgleft arm with fingers and mounted guns:http://www.brickshel...formers/040.jpgback shot: http://www.brickshel...formers/041.jpgOptimus beats Megatron!:http://www.brickshel...formers/055.jpgI hope you enjoy it! feel free to comment and critique!

This is incredible. I love the water effects and the pose and everything. You've done an incredible job right here. 10/10

Good job! I really like how you made it seem like she has a sentimental side or something with the facial expressions and whatnot. nice water effects too!

Thanks for all the critique. The colors were somewhat hard to pull off with my limited amount of pieces, and the windows on the chest were giving me the most difficult time in the world, and that was the best option of the chest designs I tried.

First thing to note here, is sadly enough, optimus cannot transform, (I tried to make it so it could at first, but it didn't turn out good), but I do have to say he is one of my greatest MOCs yet.I based him off of the Movies, and so yes, I did make the Jetfire armor that can be put on him, but I'll get to that in a second.He took me the longest time to build over probably any other creation I've ever done, but he's also the most worth it. (sorry for any blurry photos, I don't have the best camera ever)Close-up of front:http://www.brickshel...formers/043.jpgBack shot:http://www.brickshel...formers/044.jpgHis internal head design:http://www.brickshel...formers/045.jpgaction Pose with sword and cannon: http://www.brickshel...formers/049.jpgTransformation to Jetfire Armor!: http://www.brickshel...formers/050.jpgThe Jetfire armor does take a bit to put on, because you have to take off his shins (which are connected to his feet), take off his lower arms, then attach his hands to the jetfire armor lower arms, put on the Jetfire lower legs, snap the shoulder armor to his upper arms, and connect the wings to his back. Quite the proccess, but it looks awesome when it's done.Her he is, in all his glory!: http://www.brickshel...formers/054.jpgA closer look at his Jetfire sword arm: http://www.brickshel...formers/052.jpgA closer look at his cannon arm (the barrel of which can be removed for fist fights, but still has a smaller machine gun on the side): http://www.brickshel...formers/053.jpgPlease comment and criticize. I hope you like it!

I like it. I remember the old one from before, and it was good, but this one is way better. I like that he has several different weapons. 9 out of 10 from me. by the way, who is the black and silver guy that shows up in the gallery?

Interesting. I like the staff and the head above everything else. Nice job! 7 out of 10 from me
