MOC: Toa Arthron

[Murdoch17]

About 100,000 years ago, as the Great Beings were creating the Mata Nui robot, they found a need for a protector of their smaller creations. (the matoran) They created seven prototypes of a race of beings they called "Toa". As they only needed one type of design to start from, they held trials and tests to determine the protoype they would use. When the tests were complete, the Great Beings mind-wiped and left them on diffrent islands in the Mata Nui robot. (99,999 years later) One of these "failed" toa, named Arthron, was taken captive by the Rahkshi on their way to Bara Magna. He is transformed into a Toa of Shadow, and given a staff. He then runs into Tahu and Takanuva. After a battle that blows half the island to bits, Arthron is subdued with a blow to the head by a light blast. In that moment, Arthron's memories of the prototypes return, along with the good side of him...

Okay, that was kinda long. Anyway, here are my pictures of what Arthron is going to look like: (NOTE: I need Bulk 3.0 to complete this MOC. As soon I have this MOC becomes finished, I will post pics.)

The set I ordered from LEGO Digital Designer.

The staff I already have.

The set I will need to finish Arthron. From this set I need his mask, head and feet.

(The reason I'm using the wolf mask is that Arthron is a half Iron Wolf / Half Toa hybrid, created as a one-of-a-kind by the Great Beings.) Comments, questions, etc. welcome!

Nice, look forward to seeing the finished version. If you add a shield, I think that would look really good with him.

I like the idea of building a Bionicle using Hero Factory pieces! Great MOC!

Its always a good idea to advance "old style" Bionicles with "new style" HF parts. I don't do it because I can never see it as a Bionicle, only as a hero.
