Built for the Bio Cup Round 2. I got the catagory of Multi-Colored Toa. It had to be "A toa with several contrasting colors[it has to be more than 4,pins and axles do not count]".
About this creation
Tor's homepage.
Cognier was once a Ta-matoran on Metru-Nui. He stumbled upon a Toa stone one day and was transformed just in time to help defend the island from the Dark Hunters. He became good friends with Nidhiki, but soon found that he hated the constant battling and high expectations of a Toa and ran away. After the war was over he tried to return, only to find that Turaga Dume had condemned him as part of Nidhiki’s betrayal. He then wandered the Matoran Universe searching for a way to prove himself so that he could return to Metru-Nui. He had never gotten sufficient training, however, and found himself constantly in need of being rescued by other Toa. Instead of investing time in proper training, he traveled to Xia and offered his services as a Toa of Fire in return for weapons and armor. He requested multi-colored armor that would disguise his element, thus giving him the advantage of surprise when he used his elemental powers. The Vortixx put him to work in the furnaces doing jobs at a temperature only a Toa of Fire could tolerate. After he received his armor and weapons he continued to roam. When last seen he was pretending to be Ation, Toa of The Green near the Great Sea on Spherus Magna.
Here he is weapon-less:
Watch out, he can pack a punch!
Whenever possible, Cognier likes to use his heavy broadsword. He may not know the best way to use it, but his Kakama lets him recover from any misplaced blows quickly.
His doube scythe/hammer hybrid is very light and best used with a more acrobatic fighting style. Cognier doesn't do 'acrobatic', but he still uses this against his more nimble opponents.
He also has two small daggers. One has extra blades for when something really needs to be shredded, but the other is less likely to get stuck in its target.
Weapons Shot!
Bio Cup fistbump!
Oh no, Bodybuilder MuscleMan is jealus of Cognier's attention!
Who will win?
Bye!
On the build: I’m really proud of how this turned out. I spent a lot of time messing with the color scheme. You may notice that Mata red is used primarily for the body, not the armor, because he is really a Fire Toa. None of it was easy, per se, but the arms really gave me trouble. Eventually I hit upon this solution and it seemed really obvious. Anyway, I hope you liked it. Please rate and comment on what you liked or didn’t. Constructive criticism is much appreciated!

Technically Zurg capes weren't around in the phantoka period either. |

Perhaps some HF shells in black might work? Otherwise I'm really not sure what to suggest, considering I don't know exactly what you plan to do here. |

Great! This is an example of color distribution. ERven with so many of them, you managed to make them well balanced and distributed. I think you win by dfauelt, but I belive I would have voted for this anyway. |

Thank you! The lower legs were actually the first thing I built. They were the inspiration for the color scheme. |

Love those colors...of course I'm a 'color person'! I'm new at this...so don't know if your shoulder build is a new design? But I like it...it's a nice use of those short limb pieces. If it's new...hope others notice it! :)
Thanks! It is new, at least to my knowledge. Something similar has probably been done before. |
