#The Biowave Project: The Toa Takha Rebuilt
Revived and upgraded, the Toa Takha have been tasked with retrieving the legendary Mask of Life, which once again poses an imminent threat to the Matoran. But a new Toa team shares the same mission, and neither one is willing to hand it over - not without a fight.
#Part 1: Avani, Toa of Light
Avani may not be the strongest Toa, but he is arguably the most charismatic. Using his exemplary leadership skills and massive intellect, this Toa of Light aims to bring out the strength in others, all the while exhausting his enemies with tactical or defensive maneuvers.
See Avani’s original build here.
