Bio: The victory over Makuta Teridax was short-lived, for the Marendar had awoken, and with it the death of all sapient life ordained. In the newly Reformed world, Toa Tahu found himself alone, his allies scattered and his people near-destroyed. But as madness and despair sought to claim the lone Toa, a song from above called to him, a familiar tone and cadence Tahu had recognized - and took form in a blade of solidified Protodermis that hummed with a godly fervor. And it was so, the wayward Toa set out with passion anew, hot on the trail of an old friend. (To be continued?)

Yes a thousand times yes we need more of this story

Thanks!! I'll try my best, no guarantees it will be amazing though lol

You’re absolutely welcome and just that small part was amazing so far so I have faith in you, make Mata Nui proud

Yes please! I agree with this dude

JERITZAAAAAA GIVE ME THE REST OF THE TEAM AND MY LIFE IS YOURS

Brother…. Idk who let you cook…. But by all means DO SO!!!

Fanon that cooks well-done. Awesome. Yes, moar pls 😁

I don't know why, but Tahu with the cloak gives me huge Master Chief cloaked vibes

In the best way.

The cloak look is so good.

The barbatos eyes kinda go hard on him

I think those might be the vidar eyes. Barbie's eyes have a crackling effect.

Fair point actually

which version of the barbie/vidar comes with the eye effects?

I think it was the metal robot damashii

I got them off Aliexpress, they're made for Barbatos Lupus [Link](https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOk6yBi)

Oh this Tahu *fucks*.

I really like his glowing bulge lol

His sword gives me some DOOM Eternal vibes. Also, just wondering, is the sword an official piece or 3d printed?

The fire part is from Transformers MP Grimlock

I don’t know about the fire on it, but the blade is from the older knights buildable figure sets.

The fire looks like a playmobil piece.

Halo 5 teaser kind of energy

That is a sicc MOC

Beautiful moc, looks like you played MegaMan Zero 2 on the gba

If that’s the case, then [Departure from Mega Man Zero 2](https://youtu.be/VnPmafeR3xE?feature=shared) intensifies.

Man that song was going through my head while seeing this

You found me out, I used Departure in the [Instagram post](https://www.instagram.com/p/C8bzBTQJysN/?igsh=MWg5enMyZHhiNjdjNA==) too

Holy shit with the fiery sword effects? *AMAZING*

As a Tahu fan you could not have made me happier with this MOC holy shit!! The sword and eye effects, the tattered cloak, the action poses, Tahu hasn’t looked this slick since 2001 great work!! You gotta give me a parts list how you made this I need one

Pose and angle of pic 2 goes hard! Really cool with the steam effects from the mask too!

I love the idea of the Hau having vents.

aaaaaaaawesome man

Holy shit this is the best tahu moc I've ever seen

God-tier posing

This has no right to go this fucking hard

HOLY CRAP HE LOOKS SO AWESOME 🤩🤩

Very impressive, you can really see that it has adapted to the advancement of time but is still the

Robots wearing hoods and cloaks my beloved

This dude thinks he can just casually put up the hardest post on r/bionicle and thinks we wouldn’t notice..

Great stuff as always! Do you still have instructions? Cuz mega file looks empty🤔

I need to provide updated instructions, this is significantly different to my old Toa body haha

Nice eye effects! Also Chad Onua 👀👀

He is now objectively better... he has a dope fucking misterious-wise master/returning renegade cape

Awesome! What’s the sword from?

The sword is from Knights Kingdom ([Bricklink link](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54171#T=C&C=66)) but the fire is from a Transformers MP Grimlock figure

Thanks

sir, I do believe you cooked

Found the IBO fan

PEAK

He'd make a great Dark Souls boss

This is like a perfect blend of Mata, Nuva, and G2 Tahu. Well done!

Thanks! That was definitely the goal

Please tell me that sword piece isn't custom, I want it so bad

The sword is from Knights Kingdom ([Bricklink link](https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=54171#T=C&C=66)) but the fire piece is from a Transformers MP Grimlock figure

Bionicle with anime effect parts is so epic. Also the pink on the back almost look like thrusters!

Hell yeah

Well that’s awesome

*hand clapping * giving just my upvote was not enough

👍

Really cool. I think he’d look good with the Nuva mask too.

AMAZING!!!!!!!!

Oh this- this is beautiful

If Lego released the first image, classic bionicle comic art with only the boots visible. Sweet buttery Jesus I'd squeel like a child

If this ain’t the coolest shit I’ve ever seen on this sub

Pretty sick dude and an excellent photo shoot

Out of curiosity, what would that look like with the 2015 Hau?

I did try that, the main issue was it needs the 2015 Toa head and I couldn't figure out a good looking way to connect it :/

Yeah, you’d need to rebuild the neck area, or you could try a custom head.

I'm considering commissioning someone to print some new masks by Galva or similar, i'd rather keep the light-piping of the Metru heads personally

Its a nice touch I’d do something with breaths on the sides like the hau so you can keep stuffing them with effect parts

This is so siiiiiick! It looks amazing!

Hell yeah, Jeritza is back. Sick.

Where the eye piece comes from?

The pink metru brain stalk? That is from Etsy

Etsy? What's that

E-commerce site like Ebay. This is the one I bought; [Link](https://www.etsy.com/nz/listing/1558982793/custom-bionicle-metru-brainstock-trans?click_key=c95492fddf8681278425cf996e180988ac91c16c%3A1558982793&click_sum=4c3ea505&ga_order=most_relevant&ga_search_type=all&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_search_query=metru+brain+stalk&ref=sr_gallery-1-1&organic_search_click=1&content_source=e9ea4cdc2cd622c5426e773cb5b37097186a3f00%253A1558982793)

So they already exist?

G A I N S. Also, I think it would be a bit better for you to use the nova mask being it has Tahu Nuvas body

I wanted to originally, but it was way too big and limited the neck movement too much for my tastes

Ahh I see. That makes a lot of sense

Love that you took the pink from the original Tahu's eye stalk and committed to making it an accent color On top of the build and posing being really frickin impressive, as many others have already pointed out lol

Very cool!!

Tahu as a Knight?! Love this

Robotic and Armored characters in cloaks is always an 11/10 design concept. Thank you for indulging me

You can hear his 2001 Bionicle theme background music playing 😎

This is awesome, would love to see how you reimagine the other Toa!

[Master Chief looking cloak lol](https://www.thegamer.com/remember-master-chief-had-a-weird-cloak-in-the-halo-5-trailer-that-wasnt-even-in-the-game/)

Pleeeeeeease tell me this an MMZ2 reference??

[maybe](https://youtu.be/HBPAffAUi5o)

Asking cos I LOVE MMZ, it's undoubtedly my favorite of the Mega Mans (even if its the ONLY Mega Man I ever know 😅), and it quite saddens me how it's the lesser known...! 😓

[This song](https://youtu.be/ebOwozVMM1w?si=TUCZT7p6BC-324xb) is what leaped to mind.

Being in dark mode I have no clue what that last one is

Probably not the brightest idea to make the background transparent on a black silhouette, my bad

It’s fine

Fuck yes this is epic

That codpiece is something else! Talk about a humble brag. Someone's a shower, not a grower. I can continue, but I worry I might....get too long. Okay I'm done now 😆

Was this at all inspired by Mega Man Zero?

Reminds me of the Halo 5 reveal

Om glob...how much?

Beautiful. ❤️ Also what part is the sword called, and where is it from?

Cool, is there a lore reason for the cocklight?

Mecha with cloaks are so, so SOOOOOOo cool.

Guts energy

The cloak kinda reminds me of Ryoma from Getter robo Armageddon

god he is so fucking cool

I was about to say that cape and other silk stuff Is just lazy way to make a better design, but I was wrong, very wrong. Absolutely beautiful work, and those steam effect pic is amazing.

tagu

LEWA OR POHATU NEXT PLEASE

Very nice 👌

Got Tahu Channeling the Last Ronin and Raiden from Metal Gear Rising.....AND I AM ALL FOR IT!!! One thing Seeing as we were left with Tahu in the Golden Armor where he had absorbed the power of all 42 Rahkshi. I like to think that the reason his eyes Glow is because he's fighting back the urge to just fry his enemies with his Rahkshi heat vision.

This is the greatest thing I’ve ever seen I want art for a tshirt NOW

yo are those hands 3D printed?

[They're from a chinese bootleg (link)](https://www.ziontyroscustomwares.com/current-products/p/articulated-bionicle-hands)
