Kuan, Toa of Fire

[Makuta Luroka]

I was once known as the greatest mask maker in Ta-Metru. Things changed when I got that stone...
 
Oh yeah.
 
For context, I play in an online Bionicle RPG titled "The Powers of Old," wherein I portray Kuan, the powerful toa of fire and leader of the heroes. I decided to build a MOC of my character in the RPG. This is the result.

Kuan is very loyal, and will fiercely protect his friends. He is also a fearless tactician, and a skilled mathematician. He wears a customized mask of speed he made as a matoran, with a high-tech scope that enables him to see things at a great distance, through smoke and flame, and in the dark. In addition to this, he possesses a great mask of enlightenment. As for armaments, Kuan wields the fearsome blade, Tyrant's Familiar, A flaming white greatsword, which he can use to channel his powers of fire.

 

I used a modified maxilos torso, because it renders itself fantastically to two handed weapons, and because it fit the armor scheme very well.

Overlooking the basically exact same build as Maxilos, I do like the few differences, such as the use of the hordika legs with the pistons. Very smart.

 

How is the quality of that Kakama out of curiosity?

[The Invisible Handman]

I think the colour distribution on this model could be improved. It is very good though and I do like what you've come up with.

 

How good is the leg articulation by the way?

Thank you! I also really like how I did the legs. The Kakama is pretty good, connection is rather tight though. If you get one, be sure to file it.

I personally enjoy the color distribution, especially the gunmetal at the top. The legs actually work in a neat way: The feet bend in the same direction, instead of opposite, and the legs provide good resistance to compression and extension.

On the whole, the build is too similar to Maxilos, but that leg design really is innovative and unique.

That sword, is the design of it based on Sword of Omens from Thundercats?

As it happens, that piece is indeed a bionicle scaled Sword of Omens, except the designer replaced the Thundercats logo with the three virtues. I decided it would fit very well as the blade of Tyrant's Familiar
