I'm sure four-legged Motaro could be done if proper time was given into him. If not, I would still rather see two-legged Motaro than no Motaro at all. I mean, I didn't really mind him in Armageddon. Looks aren't everything, you know. The only reason people hated him in Armageddon was because two of his legs were missing, which is no big deal to me. Oh and I want him playable too.
It was a big deal to me. Motaro could have brought something unique to the game, something innovative, had he be done right. I wanted to experience the thrill of mastering him, of adapting to the distinctive gameplay he should of had. I wanted to see fights between the real Motaro and the other "freaks" such as the Oni, the Shokan, Baraka etc in MKA's gameplay. So many possibilities...
Instead I got this abysmal thing they dared call Motaro. Not surprising though, these are the same people who couldn't even give Reptile his own skeleton/skull for the MK

A fatalities of Scorpion, Sub-Zero and the lizard himself. Hell, the Shokan's lower arms have, for a long time, given the MK team an hassle, and continue to do so, when it comes to the gameplay and fatalities, especially fatalities.
On the bright side, MKA's "Motaro" did bring unintentional comic relief to me. Look at his pic on the character select screen. He looks so depressed, he has no grace, no spirit. And his voice, my god! They made Moloch, Onaga and Blaze immune to projectiles, every bosses immune to throws (from non-bosses), save for Motaro. It's almost as if they wanted scrubs to murder him.
And in the latest game, he makes barely noticeable cameos before dying. The most we saw of him was his corpse. Tragedy, thy name is Motaro.
