After the reformation of Spherus Magna, Ackar stepped into his role as head of the Spherus Magnan Defense Force with a renewed sense of purpose. While he carries the weight of 100,000 years of combat experience—and a quiet longing for the friend who changed his world—his spirit has never been stronger.

Though Mata Nui gifted him the power of Fire, Ackar remains a Glatorian at heart. To him, elemental energy is a tool, but a sharp blade and a steady stance are what win wars. He’s a veteran who prefers the grit of hand-to-hand combat over a flashy display of power, using them only in the most dire of circumstances.

For this revamp, I wanted Ackar to look refreshed but grizzled. I swapped the washed-out dark grey for deep black accents to give him that classic "Tahu" contrast. He’s no longer just a fighter in the arena, he’s a leader of a new era, and so I wanted to also strengthen his armor to reflect that.

Meet Ira, a Toa of lightning known more for her physical prowess than her patience. Her rambunctious nature and "act now, think never" attitude eventually forced a split from her former Toa team. Now, she serves the Reformed Spherus Magna defense force—though she has a habit of "accidentally" forgetting her partners and taking solo missions. Her latest assignment has her exploring the dark, decaying depths of the defunct Great Spirit Robot. She’s already found trouble, but in Ira’s mind, it's nothing her fists can’t solve. 

Ira is actually one of my older MOCs that never got her own full post. I’ve always had a soft spot for her, but I’m tempted to reimagine her as a Toa of Plasma... We shall see. The primary inspiration for Ira in terms of design was Toa Meatslinger by @mootroidxproductions, and as a character she is loosely based on Vi from Arcane.
