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

Detail layout Can be viewed here.

*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.

Well I'm not entirely sure what you mean here. I think you're saying you'd need all these things to fight Mototaur? But I can tell its a compliment so thank you.

Yeah, about that. He could extend to about two and a half feet tall with his digigraded legs, but yeah,his natural stance was about 2 feet.

Thank you.

It wasn't easy, or cheap. Most of the bionicles I have I got from buying nothing but them with my allowance and getting nothing but bionicles for my birthdays and Christmases for a few years straight.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to zeyshecrell [2013-03-29 22:49:49 +0000 UTC]

MOC is an acronym it means My Own Creation. Its a semi official term for anything made by fans and not designed by lego themselves.

I've always wondered something about MOCs. When you build this gigantic sets, you buy all the pieces separately, or you buy the same set several times( For example, I can see you used a Carapar chest as a shoulder, and another one on the other shoulder, so you just bought two Barraki, or bought the pieces alone?)

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to TonyDaiz [2012-12-06 21:52:15 +0000 UTC]

Most of my bionicle parts collection comes from sets, yes, I do have many sets twice, like Karapar or Keetongu. But now that bionicle isn't produced anymore and the sets are getting harder to find, MOCers are turning to bricklink to get individual parts. That's what I plan on doing when I can get a substantial amount of money to buy pieces there. Some of the actuators and Moto's wheels and tires came from bricklink. I've bought parts there only a couple of times, and not in large quantities when I did.

TonyDaiz In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2012-12-07 01:35:31 +0000 UTC]

I'm 17, and I'm still wandering whether to sell my old BIONICLEs and LEGO Mars Mission or to keep them. The thing is that I barely used them anymore, but I'm too attached to them to sell them right away(Unlike my little brother, who sold them to buy DS games when he got the chance), but either way, there are pieces that I've lost or broke throughout the years, so I was wondering where could I buy them (besides, while building my own sets, I was always lacking a piece that already existed but was in a specific reeeally expensive set, something like Tuma or Mata Nui's Titan set, so I've always wondered where to get a single piece.)

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to TonyDaiz [2012-12-08 06:10:00 +0000 UTC]

[link] Bricklink is the place to do that. it takes some getting used to, it was difficult for me at first, but now that I know it its a very useful tool, even if you don't plan to buy anything. Its a MOCers dictionary and encyclopedia.

If you want to sell your parts though, maybe we can work out a deal? I'm not going to say you should or shouldn't that's entirely up to you, but if you are gonna sell them I'm interested. Might has some parts I don't or could use more of. And this way you know they're going to go to a MOCer who'd make good use of them, as well as make some money. That to me sounds like a win win situation.

I already checked the website, and yes, it does look pretty useful.

-Toa Mahri Hahli(several parts broken) and the black one.
- Makuta Phantoka Blue with Matoran and the Orange Toa(Potahu?).

-Mistika blue ship(The one with two engines and the red Makuta)
-Glatorian Gresh, Tarix, Skrall. 2nd Glatorian wave, Toa Mata Nui, Kiina, the red guy, the green, and the black one.

Ah i see. Thanks for listing all that stuff. its mostly the later stuff I don't have. Like the Jetrax, that'd be useful since I never got it.

Okay then.

Thank you very much. And likewise, feel free to comment or critique any of my MOCs. Comments and critiques are turned on for a reason. I see you're starting to get into the groups here. That's the best way to get more followers. Hope you're liking it here. Its much better than MOCpages I'd say. Has a few drawbacks, but are easily made up for by other features.
