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

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

Try years. I've been improving him over a few years now. A little "that could be a little bulkier, that could be more stable, that doesn't have the right shape" working on it sections at a time sometimes.

Then they'd cost a lot of money and wouldn't sell as well. I'd buy em, but most wouldn't. But thanks for the compliment.

I totally thought it was a CGI transformer when I saw the thumbnail.
And when I was proven wrong, I was stunned, and impressed.
Really awesome work.

A lot of people mistaked this for a transformer. I can see why though. I've done that with DD thumbnails to before.
Thanks again for yet another compliment. Sorry its taken so long. *procrastination*

Thank you. Some people grow out of it, us adult fans didn't cause we were just too good at it, and love it too much to stop. As long as I've got a place to do it and the time. I'm always gonna build bionicles, probably till I'm an old man.

Rahiden In reply to ??? [2011-07-29 11:14:33 +0000 UTC]
Congrats on finally getting it done!
Improvements in virtually every respect, I think. The one thing I might suggest is a bit more armouring on the tail - it can't be too hard to put a few pieces on there without hindering articulation. But still, great job!

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Rahiden [2011-07-29 21:21:01 +0000 UTC]
Thanks. Well visually he's an improvement structurally he's a step backwards. Its Really hard just to get him standing now.
The tail is one of those areas on him I need to revisit when I procure more parts. I need even more actuators. A few to go on the legs and I wanna put one on his tail to. Once I do that then I'll armor it better.

Very cool, it's almost too much to take in... he's truly massive and very complex, the digitigrade legs work excellently, I still vaguely remember his previous form...

I got so burnt out on working on him, plus I just want to move onto another project or two, after that I'll probably come back to him.
