G1 Tahu and Takanuva Re-Imagined

Tahu and Takanuva are easily 2 of the most iconic Toa in the series. They were there in the beginning as well as the end. Therefore, it would be fitting that they be a part of the Bionicle Theme Celebration.

I tried to incorporate all the features of past models into Tahu. He uses CCBS joints as well as the G2 gearbox, a throwback to Tahu Master of Fire. His body and arms are made out of Technic elements, paying homage to the line's roots. The mask and armor gimmick are straight from the Bionicle Stars wave.

I also tried to improve on the earlier versions (namely Stars and Mata) by giving him knee articulation .

Takanuva is a re-imagining of his shadow-infected form. The dark metallic colors on his left hand indicates that it has been fully infected by the Makuta's Shadow. The silver shows the struggle between light and shadow within Takanuva. Finally, the gold elements on the right represents the hand that can still control light.
