Nah, original Pohatu can survive pretty much anything because he has HEART AND SOUL in ridiculous quantities. Unlike some more recent characters I could name… glares at Gen2 Potato’s characterisation
(Ok I love Gen2 as a whole and this is irrelevant to the topic but I reeeaaaalllllyyyy hate the way they literally reversed Pohatu’s personality.)
During the G1 story, we encountered many different forms of Matorans. Naturally, LEGO did this for other purposes. But as a Bionicle fan, I wanted to have as many Matorans as possible. But I didn’t have enough money for that. So I had to improvise. I realized that I had many Vahki legs and Toa feet(plus all Metru Matoran bodys and legs and Axonn fingers). So I had several ideas for Matorans of all places(Metru Nui, Voya Nui, Mahri Nui, etc).
If you also got your own ideas for an easy Matoran build, feel free to share it in the comment section. To make it easier for you how I designed them, I seprated several parts of them to better analyze them.
Like I said before, I’m sure you got your own design for self-made ones. I have not the necessary level to begin a MOC Community project, but you can still publish these. The best ones will be present in a list I will make afterwards.
