AyliffeMakit Posted September 25, 2014 MAKAVA. Makava is a very strange Toa. Not much is known about his origin, but according to him the first thing he remembers is a vision of an immaculate white boardroom, surrounded by 'set designers' talking about whether to release him as an 'exclusive set' or not, but in the end he was dropped, at which point he suddenly woke up in a cave with no memory of the rest of his life except for one crucial fact: that he was just a character in a popular toy range, and that he was axed at an early development stage for being 'too overpowered'. On that day he also gained a strange voice in his head, which only he could hear. This voice said he was a set designer for BIONICLE, and that only Makava could hear him because of a mental link between them for some reason. No-one really knows this Toa's element, but Makava himself claims he is "The Toa of fourth-wall breaking", but some Matoran believe he is actually "The Toa of Laziness" as he doesn't really do much other than relax and, in his own words "sit on his fat big behind all day", but occasionally he does help the other Toa protect Mata Nui, mainly to prove to the voice in his head that he is worth producing as a proper set someday. More pictures of Makava looking awesome here! Enjoy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
arc Posted September 25, 2014 I think the back story you made might be better than the moc! But beside that I like this, my only minor quibble is the lower legs, just feel like there missing something. But I think the overall design is pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Timeline15 Posted September 25, 2014 I feel like the moc should look a little more "out there" to match the backstory, but is does look kinda like something lego would release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AyliffeMakit Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all the positive feedback! I think the back story you made might be better than the moc! But beside that I like this, my only minor quibble is the lower legs, just feel like there missing something. But I think the overall design is pretty good. Yeah, I'm pretty good at character backstories and stuff like that. In fact, I've had some ideas for a couple of stories involving Makava, so stay tuned for that... I feel like the moc should look a little more "out there" to match the backstory, but is does look kinda like something lego would release. At one point when I was building him he did have lots more silver attachments and blades on his back, but IMO it looked a bit too "overkill" for my liking. Very nice! Funny story too, Thanks Mutant Orc! Makava's backstory was the main part of this build in the first place, so I'm glad you liked it! #Makava2015 He's been riding the Hype train ever since it left Mata Nui, even if the voice in his head kept on denying it Edited September 26, 2014 by AyliffeMakit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LegoPanda Posted September 27, 2014 looks nice, the sword only looks a little short on him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AyliffeMakit Posted September 27, 2014 looks nice, the sword only looks a little short on him Oh,you mean the short thing in his right hand? That's actually a knife, not a sword. Makava knows that it has a proper technical name, but he just calls it his 'stabby knife' :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tancpualth Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) yes,Makava knows that it has a proper technical name, but he just calls it his 'stabby knife' thanks Edited September 28, 2014 by tancpualth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
