Almost perfect. I would suggest different parts to be placed on the feet area to fill in the hole (1 tile long round plates in pearl gold attached with pins that are able to have lego plates attached to it).

I'll see if I can get some of those.

Those pins and plates are cheap on Bricklink. Also you can store your shield on the back connecter from the right side (in the axel hole). And if you want to store the hammer you need those long straight technic connectors that have a pin hole in the center. Just substitute the gribble piece with it and add the hammer bits and whoala, you got weapon storage.
PS. Wish I also had that Kopaka thy armour.

Hmm, I honestly totally forgot to do a weapon holstering tweak, when I get around it I'll incorporate it.

Not sure if you have, I'll be honest, so go ahead.

How's this for a Plot twist!
Makuta is actually the Hero, and Ekimu is the Villain!
The Kanohi Vahi has been present everywhere in the first few animations of Gen 2 and Time has been a reoccurring motif. There's the afore mentioned Mask of Time, The Temple of Time, and the Timeless Heroes. Unlike the Masks of Life and Creation which were created by the mysterious Great Beings, the Mask of time was created by a simple matoran Mask maker turned Toa Metru, Vakama, and in Gen 2 instead of being introduced to two godly "brothers" like Mata Nui and Makuta Teridax, we are instead introduced to two Mask Makers, Ekimu and Makuta who dispite appearing more regal, they really aren't any different than the other villagers, if anything they are just slightly more powerful than a matoran and they have special masks. Let's quickly recap their story: There were two brother Masks makers, Ekimu and Makuta. Makuta grew jealous of his brother because despite sharing equal rank, Ekimu's masks were hailed by the villagers as more treasured. In his envious rage, Makuta broke the sacred law to never give a mask more than 1 element. He created a mask from all six elements, the Mask of ultimate power! But he could not handle the power of the mask so it drove him mad....Rewind here! In the City of Ta-Metru there were two famous mask makers named Vakama and Nuhrii. Vakama was once Nuhrii's apprentice, but soon enough Vakama surpassed his mentor and eventually over shadowed him. Despite holding the same rank, Vakama's masks were more treasured, to the point that Turaga Dume requests Vakama to forge the Mask of Time. In Nuhrii's jealousy, he devises a plan to find the legendary kanoka disk of Ta-metru, and use it to forge The Mask of Ultimate Power! Seeing the similarity? Eventually Vakama and the other Toa Metru do obtain the 6 legendary disks from each metru (representing each element!) and Vakama forges them into one mask, the Kanohi Vahi, Mask of Time! A Mask so powerful that neither Vakama or Tahu Nuva, (one of the most powerful toa ever!) Could not use it's power properly, the most they could do with it was slow down time. But what if Vakama had made a different choice? There is a theory in quantum physics called the many worlds interpretation: Time is not linear but a Tree with many branches: Whenever we are given a choice, the timeline splits down different branches based on all the choices you could have made in that scenario, so what if instead of choosing one noble destiny, Vakama chose to side with Teridax and gave him the Mask of Time thus completely changing the Bionicle History as we know it! DUN DUN DUUUUUN! Because Teridax is a being of incredible power, the strongest and the smartest of all the Makuta, I have a suspicion that Teridax could control the full power of the Mask of Time, and I am sure that he is also well aware of the many worlds theory since he once killed a good alternate universe version of himself, so he would have probably known that even if Vakama refused him in one reality, he would join him in another, which makes his plans all the more complex. From this turn of events a separate universe is created, that we will call the Gen 2 Universe. Vakama gives up on being a Toa and betrays the other toa metru to become a Mask Maker again, taking on the name Ekimu. Nuhrii had his memories wiped, being in one of the matoran capsules, but Ekimu recognizes his talents and the two of them become close again. Somewhere along the line Nuhrii takes on the name Makuta probably after the stories of the honorable Brotherhood of Makuta before they betrayed Mata Nui, and the two of them acquire the legendary masks of Creation and Control (Probably from Teridax as a God now). Ekimu and Makuta relocate the matoran to what we would recognize as the Island of Mata Nui, but instead Ekimu names it Okoto to hide any knowledge of the existance of Mata Nui, whether by his own shame or because he's following the orders of Teridax, and Teridax wants to leave the past in obscurity so he can rule without resistance. Ekimu issues the sacred law that no mask may have more than one elemental power because he knows what it'll create since he's made it before, and it could ruin the world he has created and interfere with Teridax's rule! Makuta agrees but eventually his jealousy returns, so he breaks that law and re-creates the Mask of Time, but he can't control it's power and gives him a glance into the past! Makuta remembers who Teridax is, The City of Metru Nui, and the Great Spirit Mata Nui! Now he must use any means possible to prevent Ekumi from re-awakening, reclaim the legendary masks, and use them to fight Teridax and free Mata Nui!

Not a bad theory, may feel a little over complicated (trust me I'm well aware of the multiverse's concept 
Interestingly enough the newest book will actually have the perspective of Kulta, at least for the first chapter what we know of, I wonder if that'll shed some light onto more "ancient history"
