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.

THey're on several technic sets I think. These I got from bricklink so I don't know. But I know the old Yellow truck creator set had four of these in light gray. Use Bricklink to see what set they came from, that's what I do.

You're welcome man. And really any time you have a question about a part, if you know what set its from>bricklink. its helped me learn so much about what possibilities are out there for lego. Now if I only had the money to order the parts.

dem orange titties........... nah jus kidding, but although this is awesome, you KNOW i have to critique
aight, whenever you get over your moc-block, you should consider this: the body looks a little short or the arms too long (legs are supposed to be long durr) and i know this is very complex, but if you ever decide to do some upgrading, you should consider making the torso longer and maybe making the legs hella stable and buff.
anywho, ossim moc dave

thanks for that Zach. You could have actually done a critique on this MOC, but a comment works though.
I know hos arms are too long, but he's a minotaur, proportions don't quite apply here. But I do agree, the legs need much improving. I really like Mototaurs Torso, but there's a lot I feel needs changing in the structure, so I think a total rebuild is needed. I kinda want to get back to the same look and style as now, but with different structural elements in place to better support things.
Thanks Zach.

You need to "multi-joint" the joints. meaning use more than one ball and socket that works in unison with others to achieve the same motion. Lego does this in its titans to a small degree.

Yes. To make bitches jealous. Not you though, you're not bitches. Bitches are peeps that would be jealous of my awesome skinage and couldn't be happy I have it and be happy for me.

Np . Btw, this has inspired me to make my first titan that doesn't use the shitty Von Nebula arm structure or the Takanuva '08 thigh structure. Not quite done yet though. But I wouldn't be able to post anything yet anyway, as I can't find the fucking cable that puts pictures onto the computer.
