Makaru Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 He bridges the gap between darkness and light in the hopes that the villagers of Okoto never have to. Armed with his trusty Protector’s Staff of Chronicles, his wit and his Neverfull Satchel, this nameless one records the History of his people as he journeys from one village to the next. He never stays for long, and is gone as quickly as he arrived. Because of his nomadic and prying ways, he is not trusted by many.

Millennium Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 (edited) It's a shame that CCBS add-on does not come in red. Great MOC, I especially like the legs and feet. Edited May 22, 2015 by Millennium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grungemeister Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Wow, that looks amazing. I was wondering why there was a 90 degree thingy on the staff, but then I noticed. By far though, the best part is the feet. If I credit you, do you mind if I borrow that design for an upcoming MOC?

fishers64 Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 You do the best Matoran/Protector mocs, man. I like how the photography makes it look like he has a disk in that backpack. I'm a bit iffy on that staff-->hand connection, but other than that, this one's beautiful. Great job.

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 The staff is the only thing I don't 100% approve of. The MoC is very good though! I like it!

Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 This is an Epic Moc and baring the non-CCBS parts it looks really good when placed next to an actual Protector. what is the actual size difference between them? Is there a size difference? It looks as though you combined the aesthetic of the Gen2 Protector line with the iconic shape of the Matoran. Case in point the 2-toes as seen on the original McToran sets. Along with implementing the travel pack of MNOG.

Makaru Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 RE: The weapon I wanted to go with a weapon that is iconic of all of Takua's prior accessories, namely; ...and... ...all while still making it a protector weapon. If I credit you, do you mind if I borrow that design for an upcoming MOC? By all means. No one "owns" MOCing techniques. This in itself is just a variation of Toa of Muffin's Jaller foot. what is the actual size difference between them? This MOC stands quite noticeably over even the Protector of Stone.

Gipsy Danger Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 I like his legs(foot to knee). Quote A signature is supposed to be this: and BTW https://screen.yahoo.com/star-trek-convention-000000768.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 22, 2015 Share Posted May 22, 2015 Ok, now the weapon makes sense. I really dig it 100% now. The feet are great, but I really like the arm design; it looks just like Takua's arms from the movie! 1 Quote Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghidora131 Posted May 23, 2015 Share Posted May 23, 2015 The best part about this by far is the feet. They are extraordinary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 Oh great this MOC is bring out everyone's foot fetish... Though not surprising when you think about the intricate ways feet can be made. Hands too for that matter. 2 Quote "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

Makaru Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Fantastic MOC. If only that add-on come in red and you had a blue Mask of Earth... To be honest, I don't feel like the newly designed Earth mask would truly fit Takua as well as the Protector mask does.The Toa armor should absolutely come in other colours though. Ok, now the weapon makes sense. I really dig it 100% now. The feet are great, but I really like the arm design; it looks just like Takua's arms from the movie!I had not even noticed that until now! I wanted a slender upper arm for that reason, but the lower armour having the "two bolt pattern" of the throwbot arm used in the movie is a rather happy coincidence. 1 Quote Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silo Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 (edited) I just love the detailing on the lower legs - good job on making a G2 interpretation of Takua Edited May 28, 2015 by 000 Quote . Kathok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owlexander Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 This is one of the best things I've ever seen in my life, the posture, the build, the way you used a Pakari in the Neverfull Satchel. :3 Quote |"We are the Turaga of the new generation." ~OwlexanderYouTube - Imgur - Flickr - Bionicle RPG Chat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarumEsSarene Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I wonder what this would look like with Takua's original mask. This is a really great build. The metallic piece on the chest kind of irks me, but they don't have it in any other colors besides gold, oh well. I love the feet, I'm studying the build for inspiration, this is one of my favorite MOCs, great job. ♥ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UngluedBike Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 (edited) Can you please create some instructions for this? I really want to have this on display, it's just so nice.
