Built for round one of the Bio-Cup 2012, where I was tasked with building a toa with a vehicle or mount, against my opponent, Rennoc. Tenum is a former toa of air who accidentally switched elements to aluminium after an accident with the Soulforge. Gringat created The Kahu, a curious skybike armed with disc launchers and spearguns, to aid him in his Duty.
More pictures, information, storyline and the BC2012 on MOCpages! [link]

Both Tenum and the Kahu take on a very nostalgic, saluting stance on the first and second world wars. Namely the brave pilots of Her Majesty's Royal Air Force. Tenum himself is built to look like a pilot, and the Kahu takes after fighter aeroplanes used in the wars while also staying true to the Bionicle world and storyline. There are many old and no-longer-made parts integrated into both of them, to help give a more "vintage" feel. All in all, one of my best, and favourite MOCs of 2012. Topped only by the MOC I built for Round Four ;)

Stock Background used: [link]
Because of the size of the Kahu, I had to create a larger background sheet for the photoshoot. I also made it black so that Tenum's white parts wouldn't become invisible - but that also meant the pictures wouldn't blend into a white background as I commonly make them. I used *3rdeye88's method of framed image over a stock background instead.

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year everyone!

The wings on the toa are amazing, but I feel that they might look even better on a thinner, smaller one. They look like they would be able to be used on some sort of steampunk cherub

They're "Parawings" as opposed to actual functional wings. They're not so much for flying as for falling with style.

...besides, Tenum is about as thin and small as a toa can get.

I meant more of a spindly, short thing, with long axles (crossbars? Whatever the long connectors are) for limns and some form of non-balljoint joints.
