@Freshbone Welcome! Thank you very much for your kind words. I have more detail on Matau here: Toa Lewa and the People of Le-Koro (3/6) I thought it was important to include his Metru colors in his design, as I did with each of the Turaga.
I’m glad I can still convey the classic feel with newer parts! I do make sure to include as much of the original G1 look in my entire project. You’re the first to comment on the translucent green being from the animation, so good catch! Again, thanks for the positive feedback.
