Matoro reborn stud.io design

“Where am I ?” Those were Matoro’s first words from the shock of returning.

Some would call it controversial but Mata Nui and the Kanohi Ignika did it against all odds. Matoro’s spirit was saved from the afterlife.

A new yet familiar body was given to him as a elite design. The other Toa Mahri also were also stunned at the sight of their old friend returning. Matoro’s metal components have protosteel instead of common metals. But it is necessary since his armor is lightweight and fast. This works well in tandem with quick attacks that the Ice Crucible is capable of. The blade is much faster than it looks. It is always on at a low setting in the form of a energy frame.

This allows him to focus where to attack instead of being heavy then it strikes with extreme ice or a hardened blade. Matoro also gained his old claws as a option and for climbing. Nuparu was the one who gave him one of the new rapid-fire version of the Cordak Launchers.
The Kanohi Tryna whose powers are considered unnatural by toa standards was destroyed when he originally sacrified himself and he did not want anything to do with it again.

The Toa Mahri have a new goal. Find Toa Lewa and rescue him and track down those that were with him. Many of the parts are from a Stud.io custom parts called KrayDay.

My boi Matoro never looked better! :face_holding_back_tears: I love this MOC, taking parts of every version of Matoro—The mask from his Tohunga form to the armor from his Mahri form. This is a brilliant build that looks like it could be a real LEGO set by staying simplistic! This is one of the best Ignika build MOCs I’ve seen in a while! Good work!

Matoro is alive? I thought he was dead! I need a word with Matoro for making me cry for nothing.

Thanks I designed it from a personal lore perspective.
The Mahri only have 5 members and most Toa are M.I.A at the moment except Glatorians. Many teams are scattered or understaffed with the serials unfinished.

Pretty cool moc! I love how he still looks like Matoro, but with awesome poseability and upgrades. I really appreciate this one- keep up the good work!

This really feels like a Matoro moc! Minor nitpick though, the chest sticks out really far. A nice callback, but it desn’t work when he isn’t hunchbacked.

I know it looks odd but i just did it it instead of any generic inika chest armors and any complex bodies.
