Matoran of Voya Nui

Hey y’all, I recently got on a matoran-building kick and wanted to show off a couple of the ones I made. They’re all in the style of the voyatoran because 1) the voyatoran are my favorite matoran build, 2) they’re the easiest to make a bunch of without all the right pieces, and 3) I was partially inspired by @Atobe_Brick ‘s moc, Wutok



First off, we got John Claws and Bilbo Baggins (I didn’t come up with real names for most of them). These two are pretty alright, but it took a while to figure out whether I wanted to use light blue for John or the sand blue that I eventually decided on.


Next up, we have Krekka Jr. and Jodu. Jr. is basically just the purple slizer with a silver arm, so not much to say there. Jodu, on the other hand, is one of my favorites of the batch as he’s one of my pretty old characters (and he finally has hands!) I’d like to imagine that this is him at some point in the past but honestly he looks more diminished in his original form.


After that is Dume’s nephew and sashimi. Not much to say about them.


Following those two, we have The Twins. I really like these guys as well. No idea what their lore is but they look kinda similar, hence the name.


Next we have the penultimate pair, Jimbrob and Voyo, another one of my old characters. Unlike Jodu, this is definitely supposed to be a prior version of him. No idea how he supposedly turns into a toa though.


Rounding out the bunch, we have Hewkii’s little brother and Guy 2. Guy 2 can either be a generic matoran or a version of @Winger 's unnamed(?) self moc, depending on if I want to look at my not very good paintjob on the mask.


As a little bonus, I made a version of the moc that inspired all these guys, Wutok. I didn’t have a lot of the keetorange parts that the original design used, so he’s a little more bland now.

Hope you all enjoyed!

Very nice, great use of parts to make these poor misshapen critters.

I agree with Teridax, Sashimi’s Hammer pants are a cool little build

Some of the best voyatoran mocs around in my opinion, I’m glad to have inspired someone :]

I’ve developed a fondness for the Voyatoran over the course of making mine, so it’s nice to see someone else (aside from Atobe_Brick of course) giving them some love.

These are the exact reasons I built mine.

OK, now some actual MOC critique:

John Claws looks cool, and it’s nice to see the sand blue in the ankle and shoulders. The gears on his arms also look cool.

I like Bilbo Baggins’s hand-feet, but the Bohrok eyes on his legs look a little weird.

Did the purple arm on Krekka Jr. ever come in that color, or is that a custom piece? I’m too lazy to check Bricklink.

Jodu looks cool, and I like that you gave him two Kopaka 2008 bayonets for weapons.

Dume’s nephew reminds me of Good Guy. 10/10.

Sashimi’s legs are a fun technique, and his right arm looks pretty neat with the tube running to it and the axle sheathed in a corrugated hose.

The Twins both look nice. I prefer the arms on the blue one, since I have a soft spot for those Ben 10 claw hands. I also just noticed neither of them have eyes, which puts them closest to the original Voyatoran so far. Also, the gray/black Twin’s color scheme looks very nice- almost undead-looking.

Jimbrob’s just a funky little guy. I greatly enjoy his massive weapon arm. What’s the piece with the ball joint on it? I think it’s a Vahki head but with the pictures being somewhat obscured I’m unsure.

Voyo’s color scheme is pretty cool, reminding me of Wutok a little. His Visorak-foot shins are neat, and I like the flipped climbing claws for weapons.

Hewkii’s little brother looks good, but I feel the keetorange Roborider heads on his arms mess with the color scheme a little. Granted, maybe they’re the reason for the name, but still.

Guy 2 confused me initially because I thought the whole MOC was turned around between versions, not just the legs being flipped around. I appreciate that the upper part of the right leg is silver. I don’t know why, I just like it. I also like that neither Hewkii’s little brother nor Guy 2 have eyes.

Ok, using a head as a knee is horrifying. I love it. All these Matoran look terrible, great job! Directly from Karzahni realm.
