Here is what it is, why it was built, and how it ended..

It was a hull and a power plant.

On activation, the power plant proved unstable. The robot violently destroyed itself, and its body was thrown apart across the surrounding territory. The fragments came to rest in what would, after the ShatteringThe Core WarThe generations-long war on Spherus Magna over Energized Protodermis that produced the Shattering, the exodus of Mata Nui, and the long Glatorian peace on Bara Magna., become the desert of Bara MagnaBara MagnaA desert world of tribal warfare and scarce resources, one of three landmasses that formed Spherus Magna.. The Great BeingsThe Great BeingsScholar-inventors of Spherus Magna whose creations shaped the Matoran Universe and whose absence defined the conflicts that followed. drew the lessons they needed from the failure and turned to the larger project. The power source itself, judged too dangerous to leave in open territory, was withdrawn into the Valley of the MazeThe Valley of the MazeThe northern Bara Magna labyrinth where the Great Beings hid the unstable Power Source of the Prototype Robot, sealed behind puzzle traps and a fortress that few outsiders ever survived to describe. and locked at the heart of the Great Beings' fortress within the Great Volcano. A series of traps and engineered guardians was prepared around it. The intent was that the device should remain in that vault permanently.

The match was uneven. The PrototypePrototype (Dark Hunter)An unstable fusion of Fire and Earth, Prototype was forged through biomechanical mutation and hired for his violent unpredictability. stood roughly two thirds the height of its successor. It had no internal population to absorb damage, but it also lacked the redundant systems the Great Beings had built into the larger machine. The cube that powered it was ancient and unstable, the same fault that had ended the PrototypePrototype (Dark Hunter)An unstable fusion of Fire and Earth, Prototype was forged through biomechanical mutation and hired for his violent unpredictability.'s first activation, and the body's metabolism ran down faster than the Great Spirit Robot's.
