#metru

Earlier this year, I decided to get the rest of the Hordika I was missing, and then made a bunch of heavy modifications to their design, with the addition of a secondary color, adjusting certain limb lengths to reflect their Turaga proportions, filling out their torsoes and giving a waist joint, and of course the Miramax-style claw and weapon-arm setup.

MATORAN

TOA

I'm really happy with how all of these came out looking, especially the Hordika and Mistika builds for the Toa, and the Mahri and Shadow Matoran builds for the Matoran.

Here's the originals if you wanted to see them. I didn't have the AV-Matoran, Shadow Matoran, Phantoka, or Mistika builds with them tho. Some of them really only changed in terms of color. Originally I made them trying to stick to the OG Melu's color scheme and placement, but when I went back and updated them I decided to try and emulate the original color aesthetics of the builds they're based on.

Literally took little time to make this, but I figured it would be nice to see the Toa Metru's (and Nuva's) height differences together. And yeah, I'm keeping their heights closer to the actual Bionicle height (with some creative liberties.) I wanted to make the Metru's heights echo their turaga sets' heights, though I'm not sure if I got it right - I've looked for pictures and I couldn't really find one where they're all in a line together.

Vakama said fuck!!
