May this thread be as good as the last one
I love roodaka
hopefully i'll have all the parts and be able to post my very simple mocs with the reclamation masks later this weeki also need to get more creative, i like the way they're turning out but they feel pretty basic, especially the toa
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tNfm7vlGBOY
Post you are mocs that you've made. Let anons post what they like or what can be improved.
One more pitcher to get things started off. Somebody else post MOCs.
>>11820364Ill post my boi
My own MOCs I like to repost>blue guy>red guy>scoliosis botblue guy being my favourite.
>>11820477I remember the first one, he's neat.
>>11820364I think my mocs peaked a long time ago, I've become a greebleslopper and am only now gaining sentience. I love my Earth shaman
>>11820509Thank ya'.>>11820591Got any pics of him without the capes?
>>11820591Same bro. I am become greeb.
What do you use your Va Krana for? I typically keep them in my krana box since Bohrok Va can't hold them for shit, and I don't like putting them in my Bohroks because I'm autistic about mismatched colors between the Krana and eyes
>>11820364These I guess
>>11820591Yeah, I've seen your dogshit before. Also, Rainboots is a child groomer.
>>11820917Arr, what be these?
>>11820637No sorry, I have been planning on revamping him and removing the cloth elements though.>>11821112Yeah, that moc is definitely bad. I am trying to improve constantly through time. I threw that Jaller one together after a dark age of not being into Bionicle for what that is worth. Idk what the rest of your rambling means though
>>11821152Stuff me as a kid made fucking around with bricks and angles, one to the right being two inverted studs on both ends and left one being testing out axle angling using the groves in them that let em slot into a regular 2x2 area plus some inversion, and hinges, aka not character related or anything, that’s mostly it
>>11821112>zero contribution retarded schizo postI think you're looking for /lg/
>tfw want to contribute MOCs but am extremely embarrassed of my photography skills and don't want to accidentally tard dox myselfI'll just stick to admiring the nice stuff you guys cook up.
>>11821315Just turn off exif data and make a diy lightbox.
>>11821315You got any interesting bricks?
>>11821328you really live like this?
Need to compile my interesting lego up
Oh yeah, Mask of Inversion/Reversal, the inverted face design. Also a mask of Toon Physics being based off a classic tiki mask Aku Aku style, big grin tiny eyes. And then a Cyclops Mask/Face thing where it has no regular eyes and instead one big one from a bohrok eye in the middle for something freaky or organic
>>11821315I mean I'm a pretty shit photographer too, you shouldn't let that stop you.
>>11820364Set of Mahritoran I made a few years back
>>11821393Kind of a tangent but I sort of wish the people who make those donut steel masks would've taken a few more creative liberties. What looks passable in the stylized Ignition comic art doesn't really translate to plastic so well.Anyway, very nice photo.
my uniter combo
>>11821545god i want to like G2 but all the armor pieces have so many lines and look overdesigned and busy, nicely done anyway
>>11821545Cute sneks
>>11820364i got a set of images>>11820415i think ive seen this one before but i really like how bulky and angled the body is, matches onua mask. i dont think the rahkshi heads fit imo as they're too rounded.>>11820591i dont understand the fuss over greeb or really what it is, i fw this shaman doe>>11821315Just post.
>>11821588This nigga got kissy toes, then again I do love a good foot-head so who am I to talk
>>11821545why is he wearing the cone of shame
>>11821597That’s his foreskin silly
>>11821594
>>11821619im retarded i forgot pic
>>11821588
>>11821621
>>11821620>>11821619I see you like messing about with toes
>>11821638i really just like redesigning body parts
>>11821638>picWould be more surprising to see one of those rocket parts that doesn't have at least one fin broken off.I mean, I know they exist in theory, but...
>>11821594>he doesn't kiss his homie's toes goodnightNGMI
>>11821894Early life broes... any confirmation?
>>11821894wtf my bias was correct
>>11821672I sanded off the missing fin a bit more just for fun.
Commercial Piraka > Greg Piraka
>>11822125Yo Yo > Piraka
>>11822125what, you don't like the super strong ex dark hunter retards who've fought countless toa and easily btfo the toa nuva but jobbed to the toa inika two days after they became toa?
>>11822125PirggasNever seen a purple Skakdi
Fuck pirakas and fuck tamaru.
>>11822674Whoa, what the fuck did Tamaru ever do to you?
What's the general consensus about the Boxor and Exo-Toa around here? I've had both as a kid and I find them somewhat underwhelming as sets
>>11822744I loved them both as a kid, kind of disappointing that exo Toa is a strict downgrade from a base Toa in lore.
>order bulk parts to create mocs with>don't have the parts i need when i get an ideai'm just going to assume every serious mocer has at least 10 of every piece in every colour, how else would they be able to make stuff?
>>11823170It's that or faggots who build shit in stud.io and never test it in real, resulting in builds that can barely stand or even stay in one piece the instant gravity enters the equation
Just a reminder.
>>11823213I'm sure this moc is called ACKar
>>11823213what happened
do you guys sort your pieces, or are they all tossed randomly in containers
>>11823261I sort by color, but I also have bags for masks, launchers and technic axles, pins and arms
>>11823213shit only obsessed nu-bio redditcacas care about
>>11823213>post shapely roodaka moc>post deleted>post trans tirade and subreddit drama>post stays up
>>11822680Be loved by trannies
>>11823213Same troon btw in case anyone was wondering what it looked like >>11812620>>11823308Well that's hardly HIS fault, they have a boner for Takua too.>>11823261Technic pieces sorted into individual baggies or dividers of a craft box based on type, then put in one big box. Specific Bionicle/Bionicle-adjacent parts (including Slizers, Roborider, Hockey, and Knight's Kingdom and Exo-Force weapon pieces) sorted into one of 3 big boxes based on the year that the piece in question came out (1999-2003, 2004-2006, 2007-2011). Single sockets, single balls, and Bohrok eyes sorted separately. Angleshit sockets placed in a quarantine bag with "FAGGOT JAIL" written on it with a sharpie. CCBS in its own box.
>>11823342Oh, and also two separate boxes for masks. Original 13 and recolours in one, everything after that + Krana + Kraata in the other.
>>11823342>>11823261For me I just have big boxes of random shit plus bags containing stuff I find, I know this will make mocing hellish later on but I’m just trying to amass enough strange stuff or bulk to start it in the first place, Technic bulk is tough to get, finding a light brown hand for a potential belt was nice but now I know I will likely need to bulk some treads for something
>>11823258This is the post.Reminder that we all hate Dave Foreman now and all his mocs are all retroactively bad.
>>11823405>Dave Foremanis this someone we're supposed to know
>>11823258So basically>>11823405this trans-obsessed retard is having a meltdown to own the leftoids>>11823213and this trans retard (who is not the same person having the convo with him) decided to make a post about themselves for attention
>>11823261all thrown in a bin but i'm probably going to sort them soon as the bin is too small to find shit easily
>>11823454So both are off topic, and the creature should ACK.
>>11823301Both should be deleted. Bionicle is not for thirstposting or politics.
>>11823551Any plans for pieces you’re buying?
>>11823558I exclusively use pieces from my childhood collection!
>>11823565Anything you got that you think is interesting?
>>11823567Also what the fuck, apparently this is a piece
>I'll never list used parts I would never use myselfwhy are there so many shitty bricklink sellersHow do you not notice dirty and grimy piecesNot my pic, but some ordered parts were basically almost exactly like this
>>11823675I guess I’ve been mostly lucky on being unable to buy bad stock, but then again need to do a bricklink order or few this year, preferably when I get a job going
Built this shit from 5 bohroks, it combines both Kal KaitasNot my proudest build because the end result looks like a generic boss enemy
>>11823719Looks goated. Might make one but in pic related style.
Built this, looked pretty cool on the image but got fucked over by whetever the "digital build vs reality" syndrome is calledSeriously would it kill moccers to build their shit for real before calling it done?
>>11823850Yeah, that "knee" connection looks fucking nonexistent.
While I'm at it with combiners, the 2015 ones have got to be some of the saddest combiners I've ever seen
>>11823934looks exactly the same, that shouldn't even count as a combiner
This is one of the cooler combiners I saw that someone had made using the bohroklike a mini bohrok queenhttps://www.flickr.com/photos/tremah/50364442403
>>11823953At least it's nowhere near the disaster of other CCBS combinersIt takes the pieces from three (3) sets to build this fine individual
>>11823454I gt permabanned from the bonk leddit + muted so I cant appeal, bc i said that >Bionicle wasn't written as a Trans story& >People are getting banned for saying soInb4 someone said >That's never gappend give 1 exampleI will miss posting edits there, but otherwise I just y don't care anymore, that place has just gotten more uptight & bizzard each year.
>>11823405Multiple peope got banned as a result.if commenting wronkthink onnthat post.>The Great filter
Last time I posted my MOC I got flamed.
>>11824050Did it make you a better MOCist? tbdesu I have fond memories of a few years ago when there were a few people posting Stud.io builds, and one guy was complete ass at it. I think he occasionally posted OK stuff (pic rel), but it felt like watching a kid making his first MOC over and over and over.
>>11824058>OK stuff (pic rel)Well yeah that's a Slizer build with extra doo-dads
>>11824059That was more or less the essence of his style: default build with doo-dads. This was his take on revamping Hordika Whenua.
>>11824040i gave that subreddit one good look and immediately knew it was going to suck when i saw the bionicle to trans pipeline being pushed, didn't help i was in 3 adjacent cord servers who did the same thing. Most miserable people i ever had to interact with
>>11823502Agreed, both of those losers need the rope
>>11824058>>11824072Yes, I still remember distinctly trying to explain that the mere presence of a piston piece in the shin attached to nothing doesn't actually add any support.I'm still not convinced he wasn't trolling/taking the piss, because that slizer one literally just has a loose sideways pin connection in the middle of its thigh.>>11824050Do it anyway.
>>11824372>a piston piece in the shin attached to nothinglol I was wondering why I saved that one. Forgot why it was so funny.>loose sideways pin connection in the middle of its thighfuckI'm sure he must have explained himself at some point, but my guess is that he never had Bionicle in the physical and Stud.io was the only time he ever "played" with the stuff. It's been two/three years since he was posting, but I've got a faint memory of him saying that outright. And his builds had a kind of uncanniness (on top of the structural flaws) that suggested it.
>>11824058>>11824399Holy shit i remember seeing this
>>11824399those hordika-mata foot combo gives me inspiration
>>11824399That was actually a different one, this was his "improved" version that was retarded for different multiple reasons.I do think he said that he hadn't actually physically had any Bionicleses in like a decade, so that part tracks. Hope he wasn't actually mentally impaired or anything though.
>>11824609Yeah, once I looked closer I realised the piston is technically adding friction to the ankle. Even has double sockets for knees. Main thing is it looks screwy from the centre of mass being way behind the foot.>Hope he wasn't actually mentally impaired or anything though.Eh, I'd bet on bad taste first. It's not like making a good MOC is innate, and I can remember the abominations some friends of mine made when I showed them my collection as teenager. (I'm looking back at his posts and he's perfectly articulate, so he's not "challenged" in any way your average /biog/ poster isn't.)also lmao'd at pic rel
>>11824666Kind of lends credence to my other theory that he was just shitposting. Not the first time somebody's played dumb to get a rise.Anyway, problems with that particular piston setup:>Piston itself is backwards, ball joint should be on the ankle. As it is, the foot can't even angle from side to side, only dip forwards and backwards along one axis of rotation.>Axle itself is uncapped, meaning that it can slide out of the socket piece holding it instead of sliding through the piston, although I'd call this a more minor issue.>Socket is, once again, attached to a ball that's inexplicably just swinging around on a pin.This is all stuff that anyone would know just from having that stuff in your hands, which is why I take a dim view of stud.io moccing in general, but you would also think that even the most basic caveman knowledge of engineering principles would cover it.
>>11823738I like the use of the shoulder armor as hands.
>>11824666Sometimes a stroke of genius hits you, also nice digits staan
>>11824744>$200, don't lowball me, I know what I got
>>11820364I built this lady years ago.
>>11825234Was this pre- or post-HRT for you?
>>11825234Lower the boobs then. They're too high up.
>>11825234This picture is on the same level as the 'S00N' FrenchAnon
>>11825269Tried that way long ago, didnt look good at all. Compromises had to be made.
>>11825295Missed that, qrd?
>>11825234I don't like """sexy""" bionicles
>>11825300I do
>>11825298The french pedophile spams a shitty lego goku render everywhere and copes to himself we will get lego dragonball shit when it ain’t happening, even fabricating his own leaks just to samefag more, just wish they would hashblock that garbage and ban him forever
>>11825234Nice inika build nigga
>>1182523499% of sexy MOCs look the same to me. And similarly 99% of sexy MOCs are boring as fuck. The only good one I can even think of is the bunnysuit one.
>>11823213Who?>Twitter screenshitEnd your life.
>>11823405Giving him a follow btw thanks for the rec.
>>11823301You know, it's funny how this mirrors the same fucking drama in the Transformers community over trannies bitching about muh robot body types. I think these people exist just to be a thorn in the side of fandom.
Look At Him
>>11825549Are those all flat silver
>>11825549I am. He could use a cleaning.
>>11825549Interesting maskWhat's the name and power?
>>11825549Looks rather generic overall, but the feet build is pretty nice
>>11825549This community needs more browns, good on you. though he is pretty much kongu
>>11825710Still annoys me the browns used on humungosaur and some of the chima/HF sets are a lighter shade.
>>11825618Unfortunately yes>>11825694I should, he was cobbled together with parts at the bottom of my parts bin>>11825696>>11825710Suletu; telepathy, this guy is just a brown Kongu Mahri with a custom Kongu Inika mask, and I agree, I wish we got more brown parts
Welp, going to brickworld tomorrow, will update with what bricks I get, likely not many minifigs since I am just in for bulk now
I miss when McDick's carried Bionicles.
>>11826478What should have been the follow up to Mctoran in a timeline where they didn't make Galidor?More Mctoran? Some kind of Bohrok counterpart?
>>11826487They didn't have to do toa. And if Mahri-toran were still too expensive, they could've gotten creative and made 6 small rahi. But it's probably cheaper to liscense 6 action figures than actual lego parts. The tohunga were only 7 parts plus a disk.
>>11826551you'd think with how popular the mctoran were both lego and mcdonalds would want to try that again
>>11826624From what I've read before, more Mctorans was the plan before they were blueballed by Galidor
>>11826625I wonder if they would've gone with the others of the chronicler's company plus kotu? Or other randos? I would've loved for an official yellow huna. (I think there's 11 prototypes in circulation)
>>11826625>More McToran were pl& but canceled QRD?
>>11826688Some lego parts inventory from 2002 shows new colors for mctoran pieces
>>11826551>7 parts plus a diskKind of crazy they came with unique masks too. I like your idea of small rahi, though matching the parts use would be very hard, and even harder to match how complete the Mctoran feel and the value of unique masks. Not something that seems doable out of purpose-made pieces.
>>11826624I wish they didn't redesign the Matorans for 2003, and instead for the small sets we could have gotten 2-packs of Mctorans of each element with the prototype arm piece to hold a kohlii staff or shield (recolored bohrok shields!!) + Takua and Jaller in the large setsFuck, anyone here got a time machine?
>>11824050>People say your moc is bad>You have to blame it on the Ta-matoran
>>11824050post moc NOW
>>11826667wasn't kotu the #2 ga matoran before hahli showed up and threw all the other ones into the dumpster?honestly i still think it's weird how the chroniclers company was effectively cast aside in 2003, nuparu also usurped onepu and taipu as the 'main' onu matoran
>>11826086>Suletu; telepathy, this guy is just a brown Kongu Mahri with a custom Kongu Inika mask, and I agree, I wish we got more brown partsAhhh, I see.>>11826395Rare and powerful poop gem
>>11826933Back home, got a lot of wheels, and a few odd parts
>>11826395>>11826991any pics of cool bionicle mocs
>>11827012Yeah but none of them fit in the 4mb range
>>11827014You can downscale images, bro.
>>11827012funky fish with bootleg parts and a dirty camera lens
>>11827019Ok here, image dump spam then I guess
>>11827080This is gonna take a while
>>11827082But hey, less work to get to image cap I guess
>>11827084Yeah I took a lot of pics, so less complaining about no mocs here that aren’t sexy I guess
>>11827085I swear to god if one of these images has anything in them
>>11827086Running out of things to say but not images
>>11827088Like seriously there are so many of them this year
>>11827089Ok 5 more left to go after this
>>11827090Four, yeah this is all just from this year
>>11827091Three, besides the one display surprised at how few custom masks there were
>>11827092Two, shame there wasn’t much bulk bionicle or sellers this year besides the one. Was going there for that mainly but guess I get to meet up with a youtuber I watch and this as a compensation trophy
>>11827094One, I just don’t even know what to say, I guess I will wash the bricks I bought this week, though have to be careful with one.
>>11827096Finally this, clear purple, stylish, whatever, deleting all these space waster low res versions now so do with them whatever, sorry just some oc was needed
>>11827097Spybotics bases are cool, especially that purple one
>>11827096Sick anon, thanks for sharing. Some interesting builds across them
>>11826906Yeah, Templar was pretty much given free-reign over storytelling early on. I think the first chapter of MNOG dropped before the first sets were even out. Once Lego started establishing sets and media, things were going to change regardless. The Maori drama probably made them all the more eager to leave a lot of the old things behind out of association (baby out with the bathwater), before the rebrand.
>>11817471I know I'm late but something I don't like about those Hagah designs is that they break the pattern Norik and Iruini had of clearly being designed as different characters, seriously with how many donutsteels Greg has it shouldn't be impossible to apply that pattern to four more?
>>11827052Nice. 3D printed or actual bootlegs? And I'll say the blue studs feel more like his eyes than the Bohrok eyes do (fish have those kinds of stupefied faces anyway).
Took a minute, but got some of my PaB order in. Got a pair of those clutch gear sets, hoping to fuck around and see how well they work for MOCs.
>>11827234the entire ttv contest shit was just for a handful of richfags to flex their rare parts or overly complex builds for characters that should be at most canister sizedthat's why there was so much seething and bendyrix, it was a simple, yet creative, build using common parts and still fit the idea of the character
So, is Dark Red and Dark Green a good “toa” pallet? I just have a lot of both, and think it just would fit nice for a reversal thing, Fire would mostlikely be the element because there’s more green fires than there’s red air ya know?
>>11827576i think a dr primary with dg as a secondary could look pretty decent
>>11827084>>11827085>>11827086>>11827089I spot some of those aliexpress masks
>>11827234most contest entries seem to be complex just for the sake of it.The first criteria of these canon contests should be "would this be realistically released as a set" and if tied to existing characters, "in the same style", which most of these would fail.Most winners look way too out of place to fit in with actual sets.
>>11827683Do you think a super blaster like this would be released in a regular canister set, or is it too potentially dangerous for that sorta thing? Saw a moc using one of these once
>>11827683Honestly I've wanted to do my own Toa Hagah designs at the very least using the same masks and weapons that were designed for them, just without the overly complex bs. Maybe slightly more pieces than a standard canister set but not gonna make a Toa that has the piece count of a Titan.
>>11827760Maybe in canister sets Voya Nui onwards. We did get things like zamors and cordaks
>>11827760Later toa were all about gimmick shooters, as early as the Metru if you count discs. The OGs were the odd men out on that front.
>>11827764Even though it would be boring, realistically, Lego would have probably given them all either silver or gold armor too, maybe even gun metal like all the other actual bionicle sets. Those are all the metallic colors that Lego limited Bionicle sets to. I don't know why people started pulling out discontinued metallic Lego colors to use for their contest entries.
>>11827082>that attempt to incorporate the giant technic wheelskekThe result is awful but I respect that he even made the attempt>>11827085That snake rules
>tfw linked too many posts and 4chan thinks it's spam so have to break it up>>11827088Nice light up effects>>11827089The hell are those pink parts from? Do they allow knockoffs?>>11827090That bronze nigga is probably the coolest metrubody I've ever seen>>11827091Okay so we are doing custom parts, got it.>>11827096Cute rahi on the top right, decent mega chomp too
>>11827818I think they got fucked up on that front due to the Bohrok Kal Krana, they are the reasons why Metallic Green isn’t completely dead
>>11827760i dont see why not
>>11827760>>11827844Not sure how I feel about these types of launchers being discontinuedseems that the only projectile Lego uses now are those stud shooters
Has anyone ever found any bionicle at garage salesApparently this seller bought all of these from one garage sale, which seems crazy.Garage sale owner had to be into bionicle considering how much sets they had, seems strange to suddenly get rid of them all.
>>11828001I got dragged to a few in like 2012 when I was way out of the Bionicle "fandom" so I had no idea what anything was. >"hey anon you used to like bionicles look there's some here you can look at" - my motherWas some of the 2008 to 2010 sets, I recognized one of the vehicles, a bunch of canister sets and some goobery looking disproportionate yellow guy that I thought was a MOC with the mask I remembered from the 2007 ads.A couple of years later I figured out that was the giant ass Mata Nui set and the pearl gold Ignika was exclusive to it. Could have had it for under 10 bucks lmao.
>>11827844killer MOC
>>11827991>they're discontinued? no way they are>last seen 2019>>11828001I saw a large vehicle from 2008 but that was a long time ago
>>11827991I find it rather disappointing, they fear the spring or anything like it
Fuck canon moc contests, where's the contest or whatever to give lore to all of the non-canon models? Like what's this guy's deal?
>>11828485he on biofent
>>11828485We could hold a MOC contest next thread?
I bought some croissants and one came out with this Voya Nui shape from being cramped in the bag, so I added some jelly to look like Mount Valmai lava. I guess I wanted to join into all the mocing, but does this count as a moc or custom?
>>11828809Custom, you didn’t make it but you customised it.
did the discord get nuked or did i get kicked?
>>11829064There was a discord?
>>11828809SOVL
why did they make a toa of stone in addition to a toa of earth when the former could've easily been a toa of lightning?i am absolutely serious
>>11829128Black is easier to produce vs purple, same with Brown.
>>11829129what about yellow?go for something like this, maybe with a darker yellow in place of the black to keep things consistent
>>11829131Again, making somebody brown be the speedster was funny, and having that be it plus yellow being reserved for somebody more special, same with purple
>>11829128honestly should have made a yellow and purple set of toa to bring the team up to 8 members and kept it to those 8 elements from then on
>>11829134Purple being electricity or gravity/something would work, and maybe yellow being light or another thing. Lotta weird toa powers to go through
Need to get a bricklink order or two to go through
>>11829135I'd say Purple for Lightning, and Yellow for Iron/Metal (Construction equipment and whatnot). Not really a big fan of giving elemental tribes to non-visual things like Gravity, Psionics, Magnetism or Sonics though
>>11829134i still think stone and earth were redundant for the line's scope>>11829141metal i can deal with, but i think electricity being an element would go hand-in-hand with an environment centered around lodestone, thanks to, say, a huge amount of lightning strikes around the area

Are there any bootlegs to get 01 masks in interesting colors?

>>11829268from just the 2001 toa, only the hau on aliexpressI bought some a few years ago
>>11825234I want to cum inside this rahkshi.
Should be getting more rare parts soon. Finally having the huge saddle piece will be good for general scaling and such, and how an upscaled version would act for the most part (axle wide feet rests instead of bar wide, 2x2 plate for the attachment)
How does everybody feel about rubber wheels in bionicle mocs/stuff in general?
>>11830105>actual entire wheels as either a part of a normal humanoid build (a la Millennia) or as, y'know, actual wheelsVery cool and fun.>loose tyre pieces with no wheel stretched haphazardly over any empty space as "decoration"/fillerAbsolutely nigger-tier banality.
>>11829128think pokemon rules stone is explicitly rocks, boulders, etcearth is dirt and tectonic movements, earthquakes, landslides, etc
>>11830139This, don't understand why it's not more universally understood
>>11830105If you put tyres over the axle of ball joints I want to skin you alive. Everything else is fine.

>>11830120So Roller Skates or animals with wheel feet are cool, nice
Hello fellow toa, great day to be a bionicle hmm?
>>11830395Just figuring out how to do bricklink orders after a while of inactivity. Need to figure out marketplace for bionicle stuff or whatever eventually too
>>11830395I remember theseI had multiple of these guys
>>11830168blame the temperature thing on the books, iirc the vakama and nuju can apparently control their respective halves of the temperature and use it to keep themselves cool/ heat up the morbuzakhone of the earliest instances of greg writing some bullshit without thinking of the implications of it
>>11830946Yeah, I pretty much have to go with your position on it and say that it's just shitty writing. Like the sort of thing a teenager would write thinking he was being clever with his interpretation of it.
>>11830946Didn't Lhikan do it against Tuyet too? Something like>tuyet rising up on a pillar of water doing villain shit with the nui stone>lhikan freezes the water by taking away the heat then smashes the ice with nidhiki
>>11823213They just made a big huff and "quit" reddit.
>>11830993>TheyIf you're uncomfortable calling him a him, just say it.But also, funny screenshots aside, do we really need life updates on every random bionicle troon?
>>11831011I was mistaken, it got banned and quit.

>>11831110Pretty much what I think every time tbdesuAlso cool how they used the Nuva symbols in G2
>>11831043Amazing that, as bad as the silverblarf got, ninfago managed to do even worse to the good name of gold.
>>11831246I think that's an asian lego thing, both ninjago and monkey king were drenched in gold, its tacky
>>11829128Some day I'm gonna make my own Voriki, just gotta figure out how to get the lightning bolts on my purple Pakari.>>11831043>>11831246With bionicle at least the silver makes some sense since everybody is robots. Unpainted metallic parts are to be expected to an extent...>>11831270lmao mad

Gotta use my resources
>>11831415You can’t help but show your true colors Kenny. Nobody likes you rat.
There we go, wonder how much of his bullshit was wiped from other threads
>>11831431can't believe lego actually brought back turquoise, but they can't bring back purple
>>11831442Them bringing back Purple, Violet, and Sand Red would likely be the best 3 combo of colors to bring back
>>11831276Tacky is precisely the right word, but faux-orientalism aside they clearly developed a habit for it at some point. Half of the G2 Toa were similar slathered with unnecessary gold, which just cheapened both the golden masks and the actual primarily gold "Seventh Toa" equivalent in Ekimu.
>>11831469That slater spam also made people desire non gold colors way more too, some chromed items would be nice but I think colored guns would be a bit dumb, but elemental weapons being colored makes sense
>>11831298>just gotta figure out how to get the lightning bolts on my purple PakariHow about this4× 655782× 354801× 4081b1× 858611× 279404× 27256
>>11831480Oh that's a nice little armature. Those lightning bolts were exactly what I was thinking of but I had no idea how to affix them. Thanks anon, maybe it's time to hit bricklink and expand the ranks of the Toa.
>>11831472I've always wanted to make a Toa primarily out of chrome and glow-in-the-dark Technic elements.I guess I already have the mask.
>>11831485You got anything planned for milky white? Also what even would the element of Glowie Shiny be
>>11831497I mean I would have to assume Light what with the glowing and all. Although could be Lightning or Psionics maybe.

>>11831730Punch her hair clips so her brain shoots out of her face
>>11831737Rude
got tired of waiting for postage so here they are as they arevery simple i know, but i'm satisfied with how they're turning out aside from the turaga
>>11831929They got any lore? Especially the ones with fucked up masks.
>>11831930no names or anything but i'd imagine they're from some shithole island in the south, what few koro there are can't afford to waste anything so they just use everything until they're no longer able toi like the idea of the toa of fire being relatively fresh, and his weapons being more like welding tools to pair with his mask for precision i'm also floating the idea of the two turquoise guys being jungle and the sand purple kakama one being lightning, but i'm undecided on that at the moment
>>11831929>>11831939Y'know, if you're into sand blue, Kopaka Nuva pike blades come in sand blue.Idk what the availability/price for them on BL is nowadays, thougheverbeit.
>>11831943neat, i didn't know thati'll keep an eye out
>>11831929miru guy looked like he fell in a bucket of yellow paint
Schizo theory for the day: Metru Nui actually did have Snowflake Element Matoran, it's just that after everyone lost their memory and went to Mata Nui none of the Turaga could be fucked to even pretend to care about giving them their own communities so they all kind of just assumed they were whatever normal element they were closest to.
>>11831975i was already on board with that
>>11831975And the funny color ones mixed in with the others besides av matorans
>>11831975So basically>Okay, we can't be 100% sure what the 99% of you we've never personally met actually are so here's what we're doing >If you're some kind of red or yellow and don't mind the heat, you come with me>If you're white and don't like being around other people you go with that tall prick who won't even talk to you in your own language >If you're black and can see okay in the dark go with the midget>If you're a chick you go with the old lady, don't even worry about colour>If you're brown and like physical activity go with that other tall prick>If you're green and like the idea of living in a tree go with the last guy
>>11831943Good ol Joey Shoes For Shoulders>>11831975Makes perfect sense since none of them can actually use their elemental powers to check unless they're Light or DNA digivolve to Toa
>>11831988that would explain why there were some tan onu-matorans with the same exact color scheme as po-matoransmaybe some onu-matorans are actually po-matorans
>>11831994Taipu does like lifting things and is a bit dumb. And can't seem to wait to get to the surface when Takua meets him.
>>11831930>>11831939forgot to mention this, but for the lime pakari one i did toy with the idea of him missing his right arm to match with his busted mask, but i didn't like the way it looked i like the idea that he got socked in the face by a tarakava
>>11831964yeah, it's not the greatest look but these are supposed to be damaged and reject masks i like to think he's a plasma matoran, i know their 'official' colours are orange and white but i always associate that combo with ice planet and orange creamsicles
>>11832079"oFfIcIaL" colours for snowflake elements are bullshit anyway. They can talk after they release a set for that element, otherwise I'll do whatever absolute lunacy I please and so should you.
>>11832080Forgot pic.
>>11832078Maybe you could work out some kind of stump for him that would suggest a damaged arm.>>11832080>>11832086Correct approach, though using the "official" colors does have the benefit of letting knowers instantly know what element your dude is supposed to be. While I like your dudes I have no immediate conception of what they do just by looking at them.
>>11831975With that idea in mind, could Ahkmou actually be a shadow Matoran? Before they made shadow Matoran bat people at least
>>11832115i think he originally was a shadow matoran back in 2001, if that's what the matoran of the secret makuta villagers were
>>11832115No, he was just a dick.Although I always see him winding up as a Shadow Toa.
>>11832115>>11832117>the Po-Goyim know
>>11831994Taipu should have kept the ruru or Nuparu should have gotten an akaku, all three main onu-matoran having pakaris is retarded
>>11832118That's one sweet looking torso-legs connection, can I see more angles of the build?
>>11832120>Poyim
>>11832182>Taipu should have kept the ruruHe did. Official promotional imagery is wrong, MNOG and the Bohrok Animations are right. MNOG 2 is extra-wrong and worthless in every respect.
>>11832184Sure.
>>11832215
>>11832216To be honest I don't have any other particularly different angles saved and I already took these apart earlier in the year.
>>11832115there are no 'natural' shadow Matoran, you get a shadow Matoran by draining the moral light from an existing Matoranthis was planned to happen to Ahkmou in 08 and for him to become a shadow Toa, but IIRC his set slot got replaced with Icarax
>>11832218big guy's build looks like a yellow makuta
bought a few storage containers with dividersgoing to sort out my piecesrunning out of space in the first container and still have a ton of hand sockets left

>>11832885Relax, we'll probably hit image limit on page 3 again.>>11832592That was pretty much the intention yeah.>>11832609Just 4u.
>>11832887If only Makuta's mask came in gold, it'd be perfect for capturing that Throwbot-Roborider facial form factor in the Bionicle style.
>>11832897It does, I just didn't really want to give the non-Shadow Toa a Kraahkan when there's a straight-up Makuta in the same "wave".That, and it looks ridiculously huge on a Toa-sized character, at least using the "top" face. Also why I gave the big guy those technic panel cheeks/tusks, so his head would look marginally less tiny.
>>11832202>MNOG 2 is extra-wrong and worthless in every respect.You forgot gay
Does anybody like pistons as in the spring pistons in bionicle mocs? I haven’t seem those much, though they work better on vehicles and rahi that are closer related to such I guess
>>11833012They have their charm, just, as you say, they work better on something more fixed. Once you have something like a ball joint that rotates in more than one direction you have to do a bit of fuckery to make the piston move with it while still retaining its utility.
>>11833018Same with pistons and other such technic stuff, I want to do function bits in builds for vehicles/rahi while having the toa or whoever be relatively simple compliment builds perhaos
>>11833012Since you asked nicely.I hope this won't make her look fat.
>>11832553Couldn't they have just named the Icarax set Ahkmou and made it so he inherited the Kraakhan?
>>11833047I mean it would've still been an absolute shit-tier set.
There's every possibility that I went overboard on her hips, but she is the designated MILF Toa after all.
>>11833098Back.I hope nobody was expecting a bunch of overlapping rahkshi heads and nuva pauldrons here.
>>11833099Puttin' on her flips.I'm not 100% on the axes but like with Lewa I figured her real ones would look too small.
>>11833101Pretend that this isn't obviously upside down and that I actually went to the effort of taking an undershot.
>>11833098didnt expect that pelvis to work, but goddamn, I need to put that on a moc when I organize my parts
>>11833098>kopaka 'mirin>>11833099I mean you do have doubled up nuva pauldrons, they're just where they're supposed to be.>>11833101>>11833102The tools are a little too pickaxe coded right now, though they are very cool. Would work great for Onewa.
>>11833371True, they got spaced out too widely in my attempts to angle them properly. Something to revisit.>>11833355Hey, always happy to help.
>>11833101what about using nuparu's shield pieces as her weapons, they're just as a wide, dont look like pickaxes, and look like flips>dat hand angle on a piraka limb piece in picrellol
>>11833412True, but they don't look much like her original axes either. Those have that very distinct widening gap on the bottom and join at the top, it's just not so extreme that it looks like a pickaxe/sickle.Think I'm going to have to do some sketchy tension fuckery with the Mahri blades to have them held closer together on a pin connection without wobbling. Clearly there's no way to attach them closely enough by the axle, at least not without big tubes sticking out the top.
>>11833446Whats wrong with the original axes?
>>11833592Just a bit 2smole imo.Also just noticed that I forgot all about her propeller hands/wrists.
>>11834024Okay, I can live with this.
>>11834055
So, what’s everybody’s opinions on gobricks?
>>11834667looks kinda expensive just to buy sockets from but theres so many colors
finally getting around to redesigning the arms on him
>>11834820picked up some ratchet pieces and decided to do a double joint on the elbow. had a minor flaw doing that where the two ratchet pieces would slip off very easily but i pinned them down>>11823261I repurposed an old storagebox for moccing that i sort by piece type. i sometimes find myself combining cabinets when two pieces feel too similar to realistically split them apart.
>>11834828closer look at the new arm design, double joint consisting of ratchet joints and ball and socket joints. the old one relied on a gear for rotation and the constrictive power of literal tubing (it didnt work)
Never knew bootleg combiners existed

>>11838210Ironic, since all those pills turned him into an ultimate creature
>>11838210Bionicle karmafarmimg in a nutshell:Seriously, those mfers even ban the term "Tohunga", For fuck's sake...
>>11838418>>11838210It's honestly bizarre because on the sub9gags for most interests even reddit niggercattle are actually more or less normal. I mean they're still the worst sort of passive-aggressive normgroid and insert unnecessary socio-political horseshit into anything, but if you accidentally get there googling something you won't get any huge red flags from seeing the sidebar of other posts.Then you have the bionicle sub9gag, and it's just... pure tranny from top to bottom. It makes trooncord look normal.
>11838210Nigger. Post MOCs
>>11838418Qrd?
>>11838579What i don't get is why the hell do these posts get more engagement than Bionicle itself! I've seen some amazing MOCs there barely getting more than 100 upvotes, and soemtimes zero comments.
>>11838848From what I understand, they bullied out anyone who wasn't a troon or troon enabler.
I just want good silver
Is this enough bionicles parts? I like making matoran size mocsAlso do people here like bionicle stop motions? Have you made one?

Does anyone know if it's possible to pair Gelu's helmet with the brain attack frost beast face plate on the 11270 HF glatorian head?
Here's a rough diagram of what I'm asking
>>11840055>>11840048Glatorian helmets are a lot tighter on the head than most HF helmets tbdesu, I don't think it would fit.Of course, I have neither piece, so that's pure conjecture. You could probably still make a custom head that would fit both though.
>>11840048depends, do you have a frost beast mask on hand? I only have gelu's helmet and that head piece
>>11838690Lego changed the name of Tohunga to Matoran after threat if legal action from a group representing the Maori people. While there was never any actual lawsuit, after meeting with the representatives Lego changed several names in the Bionicle lore that were considered to have cultural/spiritual significance. This didn't mean they had to stop using the language entirely (and many of the words pulled directly from the Maori dictionary still remain), it was only some SPECIFIC words that they didn't want used. The concern seemed to be more so with the fact that these were being used for products and marketing, as opposed to "don't say these words ever".Many people refer to the initial wave of Matoran from McDonald's as "Tohunga" because that's what they were called at the time of release; every subsequent Matoran set came out after the name change. Reddit being reddit decided this was verboten because it is le offensive somehow, even though, again, the maori dudes just didn't want Lego slapping a ™ on it and selling it at Toys R Us. TL;DR, there was ALMOST a lawsuit years ago which prompted Lego to change the name of Matoran, and dysgenic faggots on reddit will ban you if you still use the old name which was never actually considered offensive to begin with
>>11840236That was my concern but the gelu mask opening would still open enough to allow an axle through. My concern is it will not sit flush on the skull because of cheek guards on gelu's helmet. Maybe it'd work with those 2×2 technic plates adding as a seperator?>>11840698I dont unfortunately. Looking at photos online I still believe it could work. The brain attack parasites need alot of clearance, and the beast masks permitted as much.
>>11841475if redditors weren't retarded they wouldn't be on reddit
>>11833038>>11833098Torso is sick but man you gave Gali cankles.>>11834055Some angles looked a little weird, but this one is awesome.
Gonna potentially pick up more bionicle bulk while out tomorrow, wish me luck
>>11841863Yeah, I think I need to revisit those shins. Too chunky from the front.Also, new axe, kinda like the old one but upside down (looks more like the real one).Also also, Pohatu later. Stay tuned.
>>11841887I hate that however many years later I still have to manually fucking remind myself to crop before posting.>>11841869Good luck.
It only occurred to me as I was building him how fucking sparse my brown technic pieces are wth the ol' Pimpfire Tank accounted for and put away. So tan it is.
Besties <3
>>11841475Tried this and its true, although it didnt ban me.>"I love your Tohungas">auto deleted for using the misappropriated term tohunga.
>>11841929Great job with these Mata revamps
>>11841887>>11841888The original way you did it looks good to me, though I'd say even the Nuva originals fit size-wise. New way you're doing it looks closer to them, but if you're going to redo them for a revamp then I'd say go with what looks cooler.Forelegs definitely gotta slim towards the ankle on her. Could use one of those three-point pieces you have around her thighs/knees/shins for the shape of the calf. Dunno how you could build around it. Those circular plates could be put at the front of the knee, then you've got a better continuation of the light blue going down rather than a shock of it at the heel.>>11841924My favourite of yours besides Lewa.
>>11841929peak
>>11841888Here’s the goods, also checkem, found a crazy lot for 17 dollars

I want to stuff my face into Kiina's body!
>>11842702No, from one of the few proper lego stores that aren’t franchised
Scored all this off FB Marketplace, 200 for this total. The Rockoh and Suukorak are still sealed. Gadunka, Nuhvok, and Lerahk are the only ones missing pieces I couldn't replace. Five pieces between the three of them, probably like 8 bucks on BL after shipping.Always check "Local Pickup Only", that's where you find crazy stuff.
