Sometimes it takes a Matoran to do a Toa's job. I present the Intrepid Protector: Raho.
About this creation
Raho once decided that he wanted to do what the Toa did, and protect his city from harm. Acting impulsively, he once attempted to save a fellow Ko-Matoran from an avalanche, but almost died himself; luckily the two Matoran were saved by the village's Toa of Ice. The Toa saw the bravery in Raho and gave him some advice. That day Raho learned that you didn't even need to be a Toa to do great things; you just had to be determined. One day a few years later the Toa of Ice was lost while protecting the villagers from a terrible storm. The town was defenseless; and so Raho knew that he had to step forward. After that point Raho and a few other Ko-Matoran created a defense force for the village; and long after that, here he stands, leading the last line of defense for his city.























This also happens to be my August BCBS entry for the category Matoran Strike.
Some people in the Piece Out Skype Group have pointed out to me the fact that Raho apparently lacks hands and feet. Alas, by that time, the MOC had already been disassembled. However, the appearance of the feet is intentional- combat boots or some such thing- and the hands look like they do in order to more easily hold weapons. I have since updated the design, and created several combat and non-combat variations, which I will post at some point, that have improved hand and foot designs. Oh, and by the way, yes, Raho is over 12 centimeters (16 approximately), but Vorred informed me that it was okay, as long as Raho couldn't be confused for a Toa.

This is amazing! I think the arctic colour scheme is a rare but beautiful one in Lego. Nice work! I really want this, keep making these and Lego will probably wanna hire you! Keep it up, you have potential!
Hahaha, thanks, but there are far better builders than I. Besides, there are other reasons I wouldn't be sought out, let alone hired- my building style is much too unorthodox and complex for actual sets; and also, Bionicle, my primary building genre, is long dead and gone. Thank you, though. |
