He just looks really different from the rest of the metru. And i guess the bohork eyes and the nuva armor just makes me think that idk

Here’s a few:

Metru Nui has been plunged into darkness. The city’s once grand streets are now battlegrounds for war between Dark Hunter agents with their armies of Visorak and the Toa Guardians. These Toa – once battle-hardened Matoran – have been transformed by Toa Stones into fierce and merciless warriors. Having long ago abandoned the code that once governed their brotherhood, they now command fear and respect in Toa-controlled sectors of Metru Nui and mercilessly execute any potential Dark Hunter sympathizers among the Matoran populace. Hardened by years of brutal combat, these Toa have fashioned deadlier weapons for themselves and wear heavier armour impervious to Visorak pincers.
These two all started when I looked at the Metru Matoran’s blended masks and thought “these would look pret…

What Toa Matoro could have looked like if he had undergone the standard Toa transformation process. He uses the Metru-build (the traditional Toa form in the canon) and carries over the mask and colour scheme of his '03 Matoran form. Matoro wears additional armour that denote his status as the leader of his Toa team (step aside Jaller ;)). Matoro wields hook swords (my attempt to call back to his Mahri form’s claws). This is my second Toa Inika/03 Matoran revamp; be sure to check out Nuparu if you haven’t seen him already.

I plan to revamp the rest of the team as soon as I can acquire the appropriate parts. Matoro is one of my favourite MOCs I’ve made in the past year but as always, c…

[Vardas, Toa of Gravity (BIONICLE G1 MOC)]
Name: Vardas
Affiliation: Toa
Gender: Male
Element: Gravity
Mask: Great Huna, Mask of Concealment
Weapon: Greatsword
Status: Missing In Action (Presumed Dead)
Bio: A confident and intelligent leader, Vardas participated in the legendary Toa/Dark Hunter war. Like many honorable heroes, he was never seen again.
Fourth Wall Commentary: I really felt like doing something with a Metru-build after I saw some of @RaggedClaws ’s work. This is the result. He’s not perfect, but I’m pretty happy with how he turned out. Huge thanks to @Chro for helping me with the name and element.

##Comment and citique are greatly appreciated!##
I’m curious, why do you think Nuparu deserves to be portrayed as “different”?

Because he is an engineer so it makes sense that he would make his own armor.
Your mocs are impressive I have to say, but my god! Akhmou’s hammer is genius! how long did that take you?

Probably an afternoon of tinkering. I started with the head that two Nuva shoulder pads would make a good hammer head, and then I tried to find parts that were detailed enough and would be able to create a flowing hammer shape.

The placement of the Bohrok eyes, and some other greebles, but most of all, how he looks beefy, but not blocky.

I really like the look of this MOC. The color-scheme and design blend together really well. It also feels like Nuparu, the laser is a nice touch that really helps with that feeling.
Now I feel inspired to try make a similar type of Nuparu revamp
