I recently posted a rant about how non-insect accurate the Mistika Makuta are. It was taken down less than 24 hours later for being unfruitful discussion. So, I am going to make a better version of the aforementioned post, and actually talk about how I would improve them.
Bitil
He would probably remain the most similar, but I would give him a five horned rhinoceros beetle inspired mask, and some of the Gorast wings under his elytra.
Gorast
She would become a praying mantis and give it green and black versions of Krika’s mantis limbs. The back legs, however, would have feet, so you could more easily pose her. She would only have four limbs
Krika
He would become a butterfly. Seriously. I would give it an extra set of legs, and instead of having it’s current blades on the front, it would have wing blades. It’s proboscis would be the two shorter parts of a system dinosaur tale.
Improving? These are more like opinions on what you would have liked, improving is very subjectical.
Edited title for clarity- Not lego master
And now IMO, the Makuta were fine as they were. They aren’t supposed to be exact replicas of insects, but just taking inspirarion from them with a tad of an alien thouch.
This actually sounds cool. But I think he would be better as a spider or mosquito.
But in my opinion I like them the way there were. They were inspired by insects, they were not suppose to be insects.
Also Imagine if they did look exactly like this. Yes I know this is a spider. And yes I know Spiders aren’t Insects, but they are similar enough.
A lot of Kid’s would be Scared of them, and wouldn’t ask their parents if they could have one. This would hurt Lego. I mean we have gotten some cool looking bug like things before, but they also didn’t look exactly like insect either.
Yes we did. And I thought he was based off a spider to begin with, the fact that he was based off a Preying Mantis is new to me.
Yes I know this is a spider. And yes I know Spiders aren’t Insects, but they are similar enough.
