"In this world, the Makuta of Metru Nui was replaced by someone more conniving. This Makuta planted seeds of doubt among the Matoran about their Turaga–all too easy, considering the Turaga were hiding the truth about where they came from. When Takua collected the Toa Stones, instead ot taking them to the Kini Nui and summoning the Toa Mata, he gave them to his friends for safekeeping.
“But then, Takua found a set of crystals, that were supposed to amplify the skills the Matoran had developed. Through some unknown means, the combination of the Crystals and the Toa Stones turned the six Matoran into Toa, and now the Makuta has new enemies.”
“But are these Toa heroes for the Matoran… or playthings for the Makuta?”
Yep, the Chronicler’s Company as Mata-inspired Toa.
“Kapura, Toa of fire, is imbued with the power of the Crystal of Courage, which ironically does the same thing his mask would do if he could use it, amplifying his Strength to the max. His lavaboard turned into a pair of shields. He is slow and strange, and his companions thought him simple at first, but he has proven his wisdom.”
Yeah, I sorta cheated with his colors. First off, i had the torso pieces in orange; and second, being entirely red would be boring. I went with the Pakari because i like it better. Kinda boring weapons, but i like them.
“Kopeke, Toa of Ice, is imbued with the power of the Crystal of Peace, giving him the power of Willpower. He is immune to Makuta’s mental tricks, and has unmatched focus. He wields a simple Ice Slicer. At first he was uncertain about being a Toa, but Hafu has helped him gain confidence and to overcome his shyness.”
Yeah, i went with his 03 look, for obvious reasons: a sand blue Komau doesn’t actually exist, and sand blue is harder to work with. Yeah, simple tool, but i feel like it fits.
“Macku, Toa of water, is imbued with the power of purity, granting her tremendous speed. She was the most eager to be a Toa, eager to strike back at Makuta after the death of Hewkii. She wields two water flippers.”
This was the last one i made. Up until this point, i didn’t plan to make all six, but then i realized i had five of them and knew i had to finish the set.
“Hafu, Toa of Stone, is imbued with the power of the Crystal of Creation, granting him the power of Strategy, allowing him to come up with complex plans in seconds–though he still has to pull them off. He lost his hands during the fall of Po-Koro, and has a grudge against a certain trader who helped destroy his village. His transformation into a Toa gave him Rock Shredders for hands. He is cocky and overconfident, but he has learned to use his allies strengths together.”
Hafu’s arms were actually the first thing i made for this project. I like the idea of a “BohroToa”.
“Taipu, Toa of Dirt, is boosted by the Crystal of Prosperity, giving him unmatched Stamina. He wields two massive Earth Hammers. He is determined to defeat Makuta, by any means necessary.”
Taipu was the first one i made, and ironically was at one point meant to be Hafu. At the time, i thought the Roborider gears existed in more colours, like red and green, which i would have used for Kapura and Tamaru.
“Tamaru, Toa of Air, is imbued with the power of the Crystal of Faith, giving him extreme Accuracy. He wields a Wind Whip. He is focused on overcoming his fear of heights, trying to hide it from his fellow Toa.”
Tamaru was the hardest to make, because he has teal. Not happy with his weapon, but I wanted it to fit his colours.
