Toa Crypto (Version 2)

Description

Toa Crypto finally finished. The only thing different about her now is a black pauldron and a black Metru Nui leg armor-thing on her upper arm.
Those black pieces were actually edited on Photoshop since the pieces have yet to arrive in the mail for me... but you get the idea!

Toa Crypto V2 is a robotically enhanced version of the previous version of Crypto. She has still kept her robotic eye but now has a robotic left arm and just a small portion of her legs robotic. I chose to do this because I have always been a "tech-freak" and I love technology, but I also enjoy the idea of human augmentation. Playing Deus Ex Human Revolution really added onto that inspiration of augmentation and so I decided to incorporate that idea into my self-MOC.

Story-wise regarding my universe though: Crypto used to be a fully biological being. She did her Toa duties until the day a Makuta dismembered her left arm in battle, stabbed her through the stomach- and left her to die. Crypto should have died but mysterious beings found her limb body and took it back to a hidden lab. They then performed surgery on her damaged body while at the same time ran experiments on her by fusing her body with parts of a machine. Parts of her brain and other organs were replaced with robotic ones while her missing arm was replaced with a robotic one. The beings hardwired Crypto's head into a mainframe so that they could control her- she lacks emotions but still carries out her duty as a Toa.
While Toa have sworn not to kill, the fact that Crypto is not fully independent anymore makes her uncaring and she will kill Makuta if given the opportunity to do so. Her old self before she was a cyborg is still inside of her somewhere though, and is trying to fight the system to allow her to be fully herself once more. She still protects the Matoran and her brothers, she just lacks emotions and will not hesitate to take a life due to being connected to a mainframe.
She remembers how she "died"- but she does not remember her life before that. It was as if her memories and her life was taken from her....


Crypto carries a sniper rifle and two swords (one a long sword, the other a two handed great sword) on her back. The strange-looking black things near her feet on her lower legs are actually pistols for close ranged situations. She also carries Nuparu claws on the sides of her upper legs. Finally she has a hidden dagger that sticks out underneath her robot arm for assassination encounters  and the robot arm also has a double barrel assault rifle on top. She only uses the robot arm for shooting in case none of her weapons are available or she doesn't have enough time to grab any of them- as her accuracy isn't that good and she HATES missing ;D.

I've said this before, and I shall say it again;
Her new design is very badass. Hope to see more of her soon. :)
