My interest in Bionicle has been revived lately, so I started learning Stud.io
This is how I envisioned Hewkii if he became cured of his Creature-from-the-Black-Lagoon Syndrome, along with a Toa version of Maku

ah very nice. These good ol’ Inika builds look pretty cool together.

This is an interesting What If scenario. The MOCs themselves are pretty simple, but the color scheme of dark grey and tan is an effective one.

Its technically gunmetal, but it didn’t show up the great. I never liked the yellow / orange pieces, just gross looking colours to me, even though the sets were sometimes well built, so I figured I’d make this new Hewkii with a nod to his matoran version instead

I’ve found that stud.io’s Metallic Black looks like a more convincing Pearl Dark Gray in renders than the actual colour. For example:
Speaking of colours, what did you use for Macku’s secondary colour? Is that Light Aqua?

Technically speaking, all the Toa Mahri had changes to their bodies when Matoro used the Ignika to send them back to Metru Nui. So theoretically speaking, Hewkii potentially looks like this post 2007 story.

It’s only like that because LEGO wasn’t just going to go out there and change the designs for the characters just for one scene.
A similar situation is in the Mata Nui Rising comic, where all the Toa Nuva are in their Phantoka/Mistika forms despite being in Metru Nui’s Colosseum. Canonically, they transformed back into their default armor due to being in a normal environment.
Another similar situation is in the Rebirth comic, where Toa Nuva Tahu is depicted in his Mistika form despite being in a desert environment, meaning his adaptive armor should have shifted to one that adapts to the desert.
