Pohaturon Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Taito was an adventurous if clumsy Ta-Matoran living in a remote village somewhere in the southern isles. His adventuring was considered odd by his fellow villagers, and thus he became something of an outcast. On one of his travels, he encountered a Toa stone. He vowed to look for the Matoran for whom it was intended and help him fulfill his destiny. Little did Taito suspect that he was the intended recipient of the stone. During one of his travels, he encountered an old, abandoned Suva, and upon inserting the stone into a receptacle, a beam of energy turned him into a Toa. Taito became one of the Undestined - Toa who, lacking a concrete destiny to be fulfilled, were tasked with travelling throughout the various islands of the Matoran universe, seeking evil wherever it may preside. Around the time Taito became a Toa, a number of other Matoran - five, to be precise - also became Toa. All were without Toa teams, and eventually drifted together to form an unofficial team, called the Toa Voya (meaning "voyage", to signify that they are not assigned to any one island). Taito wears the Kanohi Arai, the Great Mask of Fortification in the shape of a Hau. The Arai combines the powers of other masks, such as the Hau and Pakari in smaller doses, allowing the user to more effectively hold their ground against an overwhelming force. Taito is unlike most other Ta-Matoran or Toa of Fire. Though his element is characterized by brashness, hotheadedness and arrogance, Taito is curious, adventurous, and well mannered. This moc started out when I wanted to come up with my own Matoran build. Then once I was done, I thought I might as well build a Toa version, and then I thought I might as well add him to the new Toa team I was putting together. Further members coming soon!

Onvermel Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I really like these build as they have a lot of unique aspects plus a lot of character. Speaking of character I love the character and back story you have created. Great job! -Onvermel- Quote "I believe in certainties. The strength of my limbs, the power of my mask, the sharp edges of my blades — that is what I build my plans around. Trickery, deception, complex strategies, they are for the weak!

Katanga Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Very nice! There a lot of unique little oddities in both builds that add charm and personality to the character. I particularly like the pack on the Toa's back. This also makes me not want to bother posting my own MOC. Your Matoran and Toa are way cooler than anything I've ever built. Quote My Bionicle Tumblr.

The Invisible Handman Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I like the use of mini fig capes in the build, but you really need to fill in the gaps between the upper arms and chest of your toa, the gap is too big.

Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I applaud a creative use of the vahkki heads as shoulders on the Toa, but I don't think they look the best. You might try a different piece or trying to add a little more armor there because on top of looking odd, it just looks empty for a toa's shoulder. Other than that, I have nothing but praise; the body builds on both models are fantastic, the backpacks are creative and well executed, and the detail put into the designs are great!
