Trokka the Skakdi MOC

[DaRkDroid13]

Trokka is a female Skakdi of Sonics from Zakaz. Like other Skakdi, she was a victim of experiments done by Makuta Spiriah, and was given new and powerful abilities, and unlike other Skakdi, can control the element of sonics, along with her incredible strength, endurance and various vision powers. During the civil war on Zakaz, Trokka proved her ferocity in battle by fighting for various Skakdi warlords throughout the course of the conflict. Afterwards she migrated to other locations, first Stelt, where she met a Vortixx named Gelorah, and began a partnership with her. She later traveled near the Southern Islands where Ankor Nui was located, and sought to search for the Toa of Shadow named Yoalli along with Gelorah and others, unbeknownst to her that she was actually doing the bidding of Makuta Sinitrax. 

Trokka was considered to be a good potential recruit by the Dark Hunters, but they decided against it, as they considered her to be too much of a liability, given her treacherous, sadistic and destructive nature. She is more motivated by a good chase and the love for chaos, rather than any true pragmatic or profitable cause. She also has a rather large appetite as well.

My only complain is the lack of a normal skakdi head on her, like, have you ever tried putting Thok's head on her?

i thought about putting the golden irnakk head on her but i dont have that piece, i'd have to buy it

although I like the skakdi head on it's own, because of its skull like visage, makes it look cool

it just makes her look unfinished, unless she's meant to be an undead skakdi, all skakd sets that have officially been released all had a normal head/spine

thta's would be a cool consept, you could use those horn parts to mimic the spine

I like the spine-less design. The Piraka face alone is an interesting face and the slimmer, more skull-like appearance help to me to suggest a female Skakdi. Given the color scheme, there's only two that would even possibly fit (Thok's and Irnakk's), and they're the same shape. I get why MOCists play loose with canon when designing a model to be unique, since otherwise there'd be way fewer "acceptable" face designs for species like Skakdi.

I like the model as a whole. She looks scary and powerful.

on a side note, one of her shoulder armors are white while the other is gold, why is that? shouldn't they both be gold or white?

I only had the head really, but if I had thok or irnakks head thats probably what i'd use, but i thought the head alone makes her look intimidating. I didnt know how to go about making a female Skakdi at first (you can see I used an upside down torso to kind of give her "wide-ish hips", stereotypical i know but i found it fitting) but also thought the head could give it a feminine look, along with the claws. I only have one Piraka in my collection (Vezok) and some pieces of Avak. Thanks for your feedback =]
