Yeah yeah, I’m sure this idea is about as original as a Transformers sequel, but I wanted to give it a shot, so here we go. I tried to combine practicality, originality, and concepts from the original. Not my best work, I admit. Bask in his fatness.
Yes, I managed to attach all three gear boxes and incorporated them identically to how they were in the G1 set. A very key reason as to why he’s a bit…plump.
The fins were a random idea when I couldn’t use Gali’s blades for chest, so I decided to give the Wairuha of the future new swimming capabilities. Because that’s useful…right?
The legs were probably the most painful parts to put together given how they had to be built in such a way that they could attach to the gearbox. The feet were the closest I could come to being faithful to the G1 set while still maintaining balance. Also the to lines of bones for each leg were too close for the feet to stick together.
For the life of me, I can’t quite describe the charm I get out of the end product myself. Whatever it is, it’s keeping me from breaking him back down into his respective Toa sets. Guess I could always record instructions for him for future reference.
Besides, since I don’t have Onua yet, we have yet to see how my version of Akamai would look, but given how he’d be made up of two of the $20 Toa, odds are he’d be even bigger. Or at least buffer.
