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.

HAHA yeah, you're not going to get close to this guy if your an opponent without getting a face full of pain. I've managed to realistically make this character a "god momd" figure. He's got range with his mace, speed from his wheels, and strength from his gargantuan size. The only thing he'd have a problem with is long range weapons, but even those he could still deflect and evade with enough precision. He's so dodgy and fast good luck aiming at him. MOTOTAUR IS INDESTRUCTIBLE!

Good I'm glad. I really like the new feet to. I really instilled the "moto" theme into them. They almost look like they could be their own separate thing. THey kinda remind me of the motorcycle terminators from Terminator salvation.
And now I've got a pretty good idea for his back story. You should get online soon and we should brain storm his back story.

Back and about as good as ever considering he's got lots of new features, minus a little stability.

You're right, the tail is a bit bare. I'm still wondering what to do with it. May just put some silver metru thigh armor on the yellow parts.

If course I just haven't gotten around to messing with all that. I'll get those up later today. I'm probably gonna do a lay out for this version, not have 8 different deviations of the same figure.

He's a mythical creature, he can have what ever dimensions I want. He's an abnormal creature he's gonna have a weird body. And no one else has said anything so its just you that minds. Everyone else thinks it looks good.

I know that. It was no offence, just saying, its not a "normal" creature so it's gonna have abnormal dimensions and proportions.

Seriously Zog, none taken. I just didn't want anyone getting on my case cause "the arms are too long or body to what ever" like I expected someone to do. They're bionicles, they can be what ever we want them to be and you should all know by now that if somethings too long or short, its intentional.

Okay.
By the way, despite what you said, what was your opinion of the Toa Mahri?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to ZogtheAngryChipmunk [2011-07-26 23:02:29 +0000 UTC]
Well the Toa Mahri was the first year of doing the inika rehashing, so it was rather disappointing to me. 2006 was the best year for bionicle in my opinion, everything afterwards paled in comparison. 2008 was a little better with the addition of vehicle sets(none of which I ever got) But the toa Mahri weren't horrible, they had some cool masks and new parts. Those tube/hose things are crazy useful.

ZogtheAngryChipmunk In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-07-26 23:31:14 +0000 UTC]
That's what I thought too. Although some of the Mahri Titans were fairly good.
However, what I was asking was whether you thought the limbs being so disproportional was excusable. For example, Matoro and Hewkii (white and yellow) both had arms that were different sizes on each side.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to ZogtheAngryChipmunk [2011-07-27 00:13:29 +0000 UTC]
I never got karzanni(what ever his name is) and never got gadunka but I do have Maxelos and spinnax, and hydraxon. They were fair builds.
Oooh. Umm. Well I guess its alright, at least in Hordika there was a good explanation for why their arms were different sizes. Whether I like it or not doesn't really make a difference now. I would still buy those sets for the parts. I only ever got Hewkii mahri and all the barakki. I need all the other toa Mahri sets so I don't really have much of an opinion on them.
