Description Description and bio. Marvel at the colossus of the desert, devastator of plateaus, a mechanize malicious menace...MOTOTAUR! Part man, part savage beast, all fury. Mototaur is core member of the Insurgence Of Darkness, trumped by only one other member, but only in cunning. His size, that of a mountain, strength far surpassing that of protosteel, speed aided by his motorized feet and body, is reach, that of the length of a kohli field with his bohrok head morning star.
Mototaur is very old, perhaps one of the oldest members of the insurgence. It is said that he was unearthed from deep within one of the nui islands, released from imprisonment set upon him long ago by the order of mata Nui to wreak havoc upon the deserts of Metru nui. Despite being old Mototaur acts and moves as if he were young. This is perhaps the result of a hibernation brought on by the imprisonment. It is known that Remaku is the one who sought him out and released him. The details are all rumored as Mototaur's wrath upon the sands was of a sudden one, appearing as if a sandstorm. Villagers of the various desert regions simply stay out of his way and bend to his will, for he could singlehandedly be the down fall of a village. Only teams of toas and titans have bested him, and only rarely

The new build
Mototaur got a massive overhaul from the previously "completed" version. He's been completely rebuilt from the abdomen down. A third pneumatic piston was incorporated into his torso for optimum stability. His forearms redone to include Caterpillar tracks in them. His neck has been fleshed out, his head received additions and additional armor has been placed here and there. This revamp has proven most challenging at ever turn, even leading me down dead ends thusly having to backtrack.

Unfortunately, he's not everything I envisioned in the new designs. His stability is near what it used to be but sadly not of the standard I'd like it to be and I lack the proper parts to adequately see this though. But his designs are sufficient enough to be shared and considered a Complete version of him. In due time I will once again revisit what by now is probably my signature MOC to hopefully improve upon what I deem to be inferior designs and make hims stabler and more poseable. Maximum stability and poseablity is my ultimate goal with these larger MOCs.

Now while its said that this is Version 3, this is actually a much later version, but I've lost track of how many version I had before the first version posted here on

*update*

I can't believe it, I got a DD Thank you so very much To ~Alex-Darkrai for suggesting me and having some truly kind words to say about My work. I humbly accept this great honor I really hope this will shed some much needed light in the bionicle MOCing Community here on Deviant art and incourage more MOCers to make the switch from off site locations to here for their MOC hosting and socializing. Once again, thank you so much every one.

Oh and I promise I'll get to all your comments. And thank you to everyone who faved any of my Deviations.

If those Kre-O figures for Transformers looked like this, I'd buy it... shame it'd probably be $200 a pop though

Those are usually cheaper than lego so that's probably right. For lego it'd probably $300 or more. Legos are expensive. But worth it.

OH GAWD! AWESOME!

I would totally buy :3

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to ThatPuggy [2011-08-13 00:48:26 +0000 UTC]

lol I doubt Lego has even seen it. I'd love to be in contact with lego, but I don't know how to do that. They wouldn't sell this. Its not built like their sets, Plus its not quite where I want him to be in terms of stability and poseability. So I'd have to work on him. But it'd be cool if lego did a $100+ set. Though this would go more for 4-500 bucks maybe.

Would you buy it then?

Ah Brazil, yeah I've heard that. Some countries they're really pricy because they're hard to get there. Or they have to ship from far away making them expensive. I'm sorry to hear that friend. It always makes me sad to hear legos are hard to get for some people.

ThatPuggy In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-08-14 22:25:52 +0000 UTC]

well,it's true on the most of the cases,but many brazilians travel to other contries to go shopping

(one example of the exuberant prices here in brazil, is the nintendo 3DS,in USA is just 160 dollars,that with the taxes equals to nearly 300 brazilian reais, but here, the 3DS is 1100 reais .-.)

WOW so that's like 4-5 hundred US dollars? Is that right? That is crazy.

I've worked on him over the years for about 4-5 years now. My MOCs are evolving works in progress. None of them are really "finished" I improve on designs where I can, keeping the good designs, weeding out the not so good ones."

By balancing him juuuuuuuust right. He's not as stable as he used to be. I need to work on that later after I get some other projects done.

No problem, this is a beautiful piece! and I would LOVE to make it, but I don't know if that would be alright with you... and how much did you spend on collecting the pieces to make him??

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to DragonStomp [2011-08-13 10:42:27 +0000 UTC]

If you've got the parts and the skill to make your own, go right ahead. I ask only a few things of people who copy, modify or recreate my work in a different medium: Notify me, Credit me, and allow me to post it for myself to show my fans.

I couldn't really tell you. Its not like I bought the sets specifically for him. I buy the sets, build em, take em apart, sort our specific kinds of parts into bins, and use em for my MOCs when that's the right piece to use.

They could build sets this good, they don't because they wouldn't sell as much as the crap they shell out now. It'd cost to much to buy and make for those greedy bastards.
