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.

Cool. Also, My group, the is a good place to view great bionicle MOCs from all the best MOCers on DA and some of the decent MOCers to. But all the best are there. I'm the founder, and the other admins and I make sure only worthwhile MOCs make it in.

Cool. Well if they're good they'll make it is. Bit if they look like a 5 year old made em then they'll get rejected. Its nothing personal though. But hopefully they're good.

Well I'll be perfectly honest. No disrespect, but these would not make it into my group. The other admins would turn it down and so would I. They're pretty simple and basic in use of parts and construction. Simple can be done in bionicle MOCing, but when you go simple you've then got to put the few parts you did use together in an interesting and creative way for it to be credible amongst bionicle MOCers.

ah, i see..... i'll try uploading my biggest one then.... it's called the pease keeper, and i'll upload my biolicle gohma (it looks nothing like the one from LOZ) it is a giant hand and a severed arm that was made up of dead rahi and matoron....

The peace keeper is kinda interesting. That one might make it in. But I wouldn't get your hopes to high. Its neat looking, and its different. I kinda like it, but I'm not sure how it'd go over with others. I really don't mean to come down on your MOCs so hard like this, but thy all look like random parts slapped together. There's really no form to anything I've seen yet.

MrElectrog64 In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2011-08-15 18:48:23 +0000 UTC]

yeah, thats kind of what i was going for, random... i was trying to find a way to make a bionicle look scary, not that it does that much... you see, the one thing that would sort of scare people is the unknown or random because they cant prosess it, and it's different, and deformed...... thus giving it an over looking and looming feeling to it..... the character is suposed to be a crazy failed experement that betrayed it's owner...

Hmmm that makes pretty good sense. You might want to put that in the description of it. Also, better photos would really help. A blank background is a MOCer's best friend when wanting to initially show it off. I think that'd greatly improve the presentation of this MOC and make its reception better.

As for the MOC itself. WIth something like this unusual and creative ways of putting the parts together is how to really make it something people will like. Its cool but its construction is kinda typical. You know what I mean?
