This is a slight modification I made of a Wombat Combat Pictures’ design. It allows the Mctoran take all kind of poses, but maintain their original style.
Unlike the Wombat design, they move the legs forward, so they are able sitting. Is just one block taller than a Mctoran, so he look like a normal Matoran next to the Toa and Turaga.
Despite the axle pins not entering completely in the axle connector, the build is very stable and won’t fall apart.
All the pieces come in the all necesary colors, with the exception of the thin liftarm that don’t exist in lime (sorry Kongu). You can also change four thin liftarms (and the bar), for two thick liftarm with a pin and axle hole (and two axle pin). This piece exist in lime (hurray Kongu).
And Nuparu, Onepu and Taipu watching a work well done. I don’t have yet the pieces to make Taipu poseable, but you have it as a comparison of a regular Mctoran.
It might be a bit greedy but I hope that someday we’ll have a design where we can move the legs both forward AND backwards. For now, forwards is preferable though, because it’s more useful.
I tried to make the legs move both ways, but I didn’t like the result. Without adding more hight to the build, the end result was like trying to rotate a square in a tight space.
