Takuma MK5

Takuma MK5 is an artificially created Toa who regularly gets rebuilt. Not being confined to a typical life and death cycle, he often puts himself in harm’s way when necessary to protect others. With each otherwise fatal incident, he receives a new and improved body, typically with some adjustments to suit the changing times.

Extending Legs

This version of Takuma started with a pair of extending legs I built well over a year ago, and I just recently got around to building a body to match them. They can raise him a total of three “studs” taller.

Bendy Spine!

Ever since his second version, I’ve been trying to include an articulated torso. This is probably the most compact design I’ve come up with, and it even matches his mechanical look.

Power-Scythe

Takuma’s primary weapon has usually been a scythe that folded up into a sniper rifle. Since his arms have stud launchers that actually shoot on them already, I’ve opted to instead focus on the scythe part and ditch the rifle concept (Rooster teeth’s RWBY is making my idea look less original anyway).

Instead, my newest scythe design includes a mechanism to make the teeth move forward and back when you turn the axle sticking out of the sides. While the scythe was made for this character, I’d be lying if I said it was a good choice, since it makes him incredibly hard to balance.

Modular Design

Takuma can be taken apart and reassembled quickly. He is actually far less complicated in design than he looks, which you can see once his components are spread out. As a side benefit, I could make and swap out different modules to customize him further. At this time I don’t actually have any alternate modules to demonstrate, but now I have a canvas to attach them to.
