Helryx (TTV 1) - torso breakdown
My entry to TTV's BIONICLE Canon Contest 1: The First, in which participants build Helryx.
As the first ever Toa, Helryx may lack polish, but she's built to get the job done.
I imagine early Toa, such as the Toa Mata, were designed with a particular fighting style in mind. Later Toa have more refined frames well suited to a variety of fighting styles. Going with this idea, I made Helryx asymmetrical to fit her equipment. Helryx's large weapon arm lets her deal strong blows with her mace. The shoulder and knee armor on her mace side protect her when she swings. Helryx's other side features lighter armor since her large shield covers it. Even her shield is asymmetrical for a reason; it tapers toward the bottom, exposing Helryx's leg so she can quickly advance with her shield up.
The torso breaks down into three pieces. Here's how they fit together. To get a sense of how the head fits on, see the "neck breakdown" image.
