Palm Tree Island
Macku, tasked by Turaga Nokama to hide a Great Kanohi Hau, set sail and stumbled upon a strange formation rising from the ocean. She was struck by a large tree that had stubbornly decided to grow upon it, with roots wrapping around the hand-like structure. If such a tree could grow and thrive here, she knew it would a perfect protector for the mask. She placed the mask in the tree's trunk, to await whoever was fated to find it. Her quest completed, she found herself returning to the strange island often, simply to relax in solitude with her fishing rod,day-dreaming about a certain athlete from Po-Koro who didn't know how to swim. Maybe she could offer him lessons...
The robot arm and tree together, showcasing the balance of nature and machine, with the Hau ready for Gali to find, felt like the perfect combination for a slice of life vignette to honor BIONICLE. Plus, Macku was my first or second BIONICLE set, and she deserves some love. I wanted the build to feel like concept art.
