Tuyet: The Golden Empress


Tuyet’s regime was not the destiny foretold, that much was known by The Order of Mata Nui. As the great spirit himself was forced into sleep at the height of the war between the emerging Toa Empire and the Brotherhood of Makuta, the mighty warrior Brutaka sought to intervene in affairs directly against Helryx’s orders. The golden warrior attacked Tuyet, believing her to have defied the destiny of the universe, unleashing his fury…

But Tuyet was not alone. The remaining Mangai and Toa Avokai (inika of the empire) gave Tuyet the opening she needed to fell Brutaka, piercing his heart with her blade. Taking Brutaka’s mask, Tuyet tasked the great mask maker Vakama with reforging the great Olmak into plates of golden armor, turning the rest of the titan’s armor into a new greatsword.


Extracting some of the nui stone fragments embedded in her frame long ago during the “accident” with Lhikan, Tuyet had the shards integrated into her new sword. This allowed her to channel even greater elemental energy through the blade.

Fed by yet more energy from nui stone power stored in her back armor, Tuyet’s blade could become a force blade, allowing it to cut through any armor and even break through kanohi powered or elemental shields.

Already a mighty warrior before this apotheosis, Tuyet became a goddess of war on the battlefield. She even began learning to wield the dimensional gate power left over from her Olmak armor. Where Brutaka had sought to avenge their lost destiny, Tuyet proved that destiny could be seized.

This model is based heavily on a work by @ToaVictor, who made a Tuyet with golden armor and gave it a story: Empress Tuyet
Inspired, I decided to upgrade my own Tuyet and…Mata Nui I love her. Maybe I’ll have to get two 3D printed tuyet masks one day, so i can have a silver one for my usual Tuyet build and a gold one with this version.
Anyways, hope you enjoy.
