The Prankster

[Buzzsaw]

For the past year or so, I've been working on revamps. It started out with a simple Matoran design that made the 2003 design more compact and slim. As time passed, I did other characters, finishing up the Barraki. I was then inspired to redo Nuparu, but with a high degree of poseability. I eventually decided to make a self MOC, but when I got my Bricklink haul, I decided against it when I saw that I had a Noble Mahiki. Thus, after about half an hour of tinkering around with designs, here is the fruit of my labors.

I present Turaga Matau, the Prankster!

I honestly am too lazy to make that link look pretty. Anyways, that's my Flickr album of him, and it'll serve as the home for my future Turaga.

I decided to give Matau a compact design that takes a great influence from the movie design rather than the set. The tube serves to emulate his robes, if I can find a better way to do it, I would have. For now, the tube serves its purpose. I plan on doing all the Turaga soon, the next one is either Whenua or Vakama.

Nice! It looks great! I was actually planning on doing some revamps of the Turaga and Matoran (I've already made Vakama ) .

Keep up the good work!

I like how it retains the old Bionicle aesthetic while still using ample CCBS parts (you even included his original staff!). Nicely done!

Thanks for the comments, any suggestions for a robe? I want to replace the tube. Next up: Vakama.

For the robes (and custom capes and trench coats) I've been using an old pair of brown pants. You could probably find some at Goodwill or another thrift store

Was never a fan of the two-fingered versions, but it works quite well on your MOC. Great work!
