Description Okay, this is my second giant monstrosity. His name is mototaur. He is a minotaur with roller blade feet. He has a pneumatic (air) powered hip/ suspention system. He also has a bohrok head morning star for a weapon. This figure is more mechanically technical than Ryakk, my other insanely large Bionicle MOC. I plan on rebuilding this figure, because functionally, he isn't right yet. There are still a lot of bugs to work out. Look wise I think he's great. He is very menacing. When his torso and legs are fully extended he measures at about two and a half feet. The wheels on his feet allow for smooth movement if he were to run or attack. Again with this model, all the joints move and are articulate. He even has those weird minotaur legs. This model presents a lot of technical and mechanical challenges that I have already and need to have met. I enjoy working this figure the most because he is the hardest.

This shot is mototaur extended to his full height, with is about 32 inches. His pneumatic powered torso pistons ad about another inch as well as shock absorption, which is why they're there. and his digigraded legs add about another 7" This is his true actual heights but his natural height is the normal 24"/2' as seen in all other pictures.

*update* This is the old version of Mototaur. Technically I think its version 4, I've actually lost count. But he is the second version to be uploaded to so I'm counting this as the 2.0 version.

IMPORTANT!! Please view other photos before commenting. Angles can be confusing and one photo can't show everything. Thank you.

Thanks. I just wanna say that this isn't actually how tall he normally was. This is him fully extended. This is his normal stance. But because his legs had the digigraded segment and the pistons in his torso he could extend further, and I was showing that in this photo. In his normal Stance Mototaur stood about 2 feet, extended it was about another half a foot.

Dude... Because that little blurry excuse of a MOC isn't really all that good. If I see you saying this to anyone else you will be made a public example of and no one in this MOC community will talk to you. Piss the fuck off.

It does require a lot to do these. I have three other's, though the fourth one isn't that good. I just threw it together for a contest. But I have two others that are good. It also takes a long time of messing with the designs and improving them to get them to the point that they're at now.

why do they do that?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Wretched--Stare [2010-04-26 08:21:50 +0000 UTC]

I have no clue. I know recently they changed the names of the transformers for the movies. Wasn't the yellow car's name sideways, not bumble bee? I remember him as sideways. SO yeah older call them by different names. I liked transformers and watched the cartoon back when I was a little kid so that was mid 90's. I think the names change with all the different renditions of the cartoons and maybe the comics.

These detailed pictures are good and helpful, but I've just noticed that both mototaur and ryakk are stuck in one pose each...if you're going to take some better photos, perhaps some showing off their support and posability?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Rahiden [2010-04-22 20:42:00 +0000 UTC]

You're right buddy. Soooooooooow.....I'm workin on that right now. I just pinned up the blanket I'll put some fresh batteries in the camera, pose up mototaur and get some action poses. But I can't really dow what I'd like to with his weapon without the use of things like stands or wires or what ever. But yeah I'll get some dynamic poses up for ya.

thanks buddy.

I'm thinking about going back to the old pics and simply replacing the photos in them with better versions of the same angles.

Inanimate-box In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2010-03-27 00:35:36 +0000 UTC]

Sounds like a plan. I've done that before; it's always nice to see a newere version of an old favourite in a crisper cleaner shot. Do it!

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Inanimate-box [2010-03-28 09:25:27 +0000 UTC]

Alrighty then. I wasn't sure if I should just replace the photo or the whole deviation, artist comment and all. What do you think? Photo, or deviation?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Inanimate-box In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2010-03-29 00:21:27 +0000 UTC]

Get rid of some of the deviations and just use a new photo on the old deviations you keep.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Inanimate-box [2010-03-29 03:12:51 +0000 UTC]

well why keep some and change the pnoto and then do totally new deviations on others? The only ones that need changing are the old ones with bad pics. I was wondering if I should also update the artist comments as well.
