Description Here's an unnamed Toa of Plantlife, the next Toa in the team. I chose to branch out from the "traditional" element scheme because elements like plantlife sound so awesome--I wish they had been explored more fully in the story. The tool/weapon this Toa uses is a kind of climbing claw that could be used to scale huge jungle trees, or slammed into the ground to channel plantlife energy directly.

Like the Toa of Ice and the others, he has a jetpack, leg jets, and a gill tube for underwater breathing. The Bohrok fang on the chestplate is part of the story as well--all of the Toa in this team were transformed via Toa Stones, and when that happened the transparent Stones (more like crystals really) embedded themselves in the new armor, on top of the heartlight. They thus act as larger heartlights made out of crystal.

There are several details I haven't worked out for this character (name, mask power, etc.), so comment if you have suggestions!

Toa of Plantlife are green and blue.

I interpreted the color scheme as green and blue-green, because I thought the blue-green would be a better compliment to green. I could certainly see green and blue armor working too, though

I believe it's Toa of Air, but oh well... nice MOC though.

I really like the design of your toa, being simple and yet a little unique. The idea of them being suited to all environments sounds like a precursor to the Nuva's adaptive armour from Artakha.

Thanks! That's sort of what I had in mind when I designed these guys, but I wanted their equipment to be a bit more visible, and I wanted them to look like they could tackle all environments at once

Just so you know, toa of plant life are actually canon. They're called Bo-motoran in motoran form, and they've been referenced to in the stories.

It's too bad they didn't show up in the stories more often, I would've liked to see more of them. A lot of possibilities left open, I guess

True. Also, that mask is called the Kanohi Faxon and grants the user the ability to temporarily gain one trait of a rahi that they have seen. The one on your toa of water is a Kanohi Ruru, mask of night vision, the toa of fire is wearing a Kanohi Kiril, mask of regeneration (only applies to artificial substances.) The toa of ice is wearing  Kanohi Garai, mask of gravity, and the toa of iron and earth are wearing a Kanohi Komau (mask of mind control) and a modified Kanohi Pakari, (mask of strength) respectively.

I love how the arms look. Very nice.

Thanks! I used an arm design that's similar, but a little simpler, on the Toa of Earth (link in the description). I used bigger pieces on the sides of the arms here because I wanted to use the lime green ones.

Man, I wish I had more of these pieces.

Some of these I ordered specifically for this MOC, like the lime green Nuva claws I think
