[Flickr Album] Throughout his incarnations, Makuta has always been a failed ruler, secretly coveting the admiration he was never qualified to receive. Here, he has succeeded; King Makuta, fierce defender of the people of Okoto, even at the small expense of their liberty. Freedom is a dangerous thing. Kneel to the crown. Been working on this guy for about a month for the Rebrick contest (technically I had a head start, but I'm going on vacation, so sue me =P). Haven't MoC'd with physical bricks since... 2010, I want to say, so a solid six years. Before CCBS. Pretty pleased with how it turned out, all things considered; there's stuff I could blather on about, but my favorite part is the crown, which was the original design impetus and took a while to get right, but just clicked in the end. Criticism, questions, critiques, etc. always welcome. Yes my photography is atrocious.

Yes, you read that right. Mask of Ultimate Power. TLG's way of ending BIONICLE without releasing the MoUP felt wrong, so I decided to fix that. Consider this my way of giving BIONICLE a proper send-off. You can get your own mask here: http://shpws.me/MuFX

While I was building my entry for the Makuta contest, I decided to actually build the MOUP using system pieces. It isn't perfect but it stands in well. I've thought about it for a while and decided to share the LDD file. Feel free to use this design on your own Makuta entry if you like. http://www.us.lego.com/en-us/gallery/192a4eaf-2491-4a13-8b80-ea5747239994?index=1 (may still be pending) Edit: While we wait for part of LEGO's staff to approve the post in the gallery, here are some pictures. (note I had to leave the mask on the left in the file, even though it isn't the final design, because the file wouldn't upload if I deleted it) If you find a way to improve the design, please share it with the rest of us, thanks. I wish everyone the best of luck in the contest and may the best MOC win. Update: Added eyes as suggested by Master Inika. Eyes are held in by the spikes (tested with physical bricks and it works).

I have long wanted to make this guy, at first intended to perform a custom mask, but it was too much work, until one day testing a custom head emerged for the mask that worked wonderfully with the mask.torso structure is very flexible and durable and does not lose the character's base structure.the parts legs were more difficult to build because stability, function and aesthetics not always work well, the wings were easy to build elements thanks to previous experiences, unlike other cases I use fabric to complement the design. finally the color scheme, basically uses the same idea behind the orginal whole, however decided to use dark red for the color contrast was not so high. I hope you liked to see this character as much as me, it was a pleasant experience and adds to the other characters built based on movies. who are you looking for? krekka: where is nihdiki?teridax: don´t worry i will take you with him!!

http://orig04.deviantart.net/3d40/f/2016/174/c/c/the_mask_makers_by_mate397-da7c5p0.jpg Bought another Skull Grinder vs Mask Maker to have the two built, plus additional pieces for Makuta http://orig11.deviantart.net/6c9e/f/2016/174/6/6/makuta_and_his_bird_by_mate397-da7c6la.jpg Makuta also got a őet bird of his own based on the Falcon Ekimu has with the up coming magazine polybag http://orig04.deviantart.net/b1c6/f/2016/174/c/4/bird_close_up_by_mate397-da7c6oq.jpg And last but not least Ekimu the Mask Maker fully decked out with a minor alteration http://orig04.deviantart.net/32a2/f/2016/174/a/a/ekimu_the_mask_maker_by_mate397-da7ca09.jpg edit: Makuta's hammer design is not mine, it was first posted on the bionicle 4chan message board by a person, just wanted to make that clear before think I made the design up.

In story year 2007/8 (not sure exactly), it was revealed that there was more than one Makuta, and that Teridax was merely their leader. When exactly was this revealed to the "main characters?" I know that certain factions (the Dark Hunters, the Vortixx, the Order of Mata Nui) were always aware of the Brotherhood, and that the Makuta revealed their inner shadow and went to war with the Dark Hunters around when the Toa Metru moved the Matoran of Metru Nui to the island of Mata Nui. But where (and from whom) did the Toa Nuva and Toa Mahri find out? -
I mean, obviously not, but this was a fun idea that popped into my mind. So in early G1, Mata Nui and Makuta were always referred to as brothers, right? What if Teridax's idea to take control of the Great Spirit Robot wasn't original, because someone else did it before? Say Mata Nui was a minor Makuta who, possibly by accident, found a way to take control of the GSR. The Great Beings didn't anticipate any of their creations to have such ambitions, so there weren't any (or many) obstacles in place. Seeing as the first "identity" or "soul" of the GSR never had any other body beforehand, when Mata Nui cast it out and took its place, it became an amorphous mass of living tissue barely capable of containing its mind. Meaning Tren Krom. If Tren Krom was the "first" great spirit, it would further explain why he ended up helping - "helping" - against Teridax. He didn't care who was occupying the GSR, but as long as it wasn't him, he hated them. As for Teridax, he found out about Mata Nui's success in taking control of the GSR and became jealous. Why should some minor Makuta turn into the most powerful being in the MU? However, Mata Nui suspected others would want his place, so he put some safety measures in place, making things much harder for Teridax. Of course this doesn't mean Mata Nui was evil. We know some Makuta were benevolent. Maybe life in the MU was much more "optimized" during Tren Krom's reign, during which the Matoran really only served an immediate purpose like computer programs, however once Mata Nui took over they were allowed to "live their lives" and such. Naturally, much of this conflicts with established canon, but it would more or less fit without changing much of the story.

Remember that Bionicle/TRON crossover I made a while back? Well, here's more! I finally managed to finish Makuta. Link to the drawing -> This time I wanted to go beyond the rough sketch and make a detailed drawing with a clean lineart (which I might upload, should anyone be interested). I wanted to add some more details, like some grid-textured damaged parts or some background, but I realized I was never gonna finish it. I might work on it in the future but I doubt it. Just like for Takanuva, the thing on his left arm is a cesta, a weapon featured in the first TRON movie. It's used to play a sport that reminded me of Kohlii, so I thought "Why not?" Comments are very welcome, please let me know what you think! EDIT: Brickshelf seems to be down, which means the thumbnail doesn't show up.

Since the start of 2016 I've been trying to build characters who have appeared in G2 Bionicle but have not had a set form (except the villagers). I feel I should shout out to Number_One_Ix's builds, who has also built the Shadow Spawn and Ice Shadow trap, but I felt some of the details could be improved. Anyway without further delay ... Makuta the Mask Maker Pictures Left - Back - Right I made two decisions while making Makuta. First I decided that any colour piece I could not find I would substitute with black, it blends with the trans purple well. Secondly I decided to give him green eyes like his brother Ekimu, after all he hadn't fully turned evil until he put on the Mask of Ultimate Power. Umaraks Shadow Spawn Pictures Left - Back - Right - Front Now this guy I had to build from screenshots of Journey to One. I had to go over things few times to get details like the knee spikes and tail colours right. Because he lacks Umaraks pauldrons, I raised his shoulders up and I filled in the gaps in his body with 3 length shells. Overall I'm satisfied with how this build turned out. (Noticed the spikes on his arms are one stud too high, oops) Ice Shadow Trap Pictures Left - Back - Right - Open Nothing here much different from any other Ice Shadow Trap moc, the white exo force arms do seem more accurate though. Not the best of the Shadow Traps I must say. Umaraks Forces Pictures With 7th shadow trap - All Shadow Traps - All Shadow Traps open Here are the rest of the pictures I took, enjoy! So please do tell me if there are any differences I missed, or any other characters I should consider building. Thanks for looking!

Each of you four will lead a race of beings,to grand battle against each other tell only one Nui stands. I have provided you with bodies in this dimension so you can blend in the society's of the people you will lead. How to play This is sort of like a chess game basically. A team wins by killing the other three Nui leaders. There will be Three Teams. Matoran Toa Makuta You will sign up below for one of these teams. I then will secretly select one on each side to be the Nui leader and tell them by PM. Each round will be in two pats. Part one 24 hours will be by PM of the Nui leaders to pick the team they want to attack. Part two 24 hours I will tell you what side your leader has chosen to attack. You will then vote on a person in that team to kill. The person with the most votes dies. If there is a tie the Nui leader will break it.

I have come up with new villains for the Toa, the Corrupters. I am designing all of their masks first and later I am going to MOC their bodies with set like perimeters. Pictures Mask of Combustion Mask of Gravity: Mask of Fracturing: Original Hand Sketches: I will post more pictures as soon as I can finish them. Story There were those of the inhabitants of Okoto that excepted Makuta as their new leader upon his donning of the Mask of Ultimate Power. Being immediately empowered by mask’s dark energy they were transformed into powerful beings, at the same time however, it’s slaves. When Ekimu knocked the mask from Makuta’s face, some of Makuta’s mind was divided among his servants who were present. They took Makuta’s fallen form and placed it in a tome deep in the island. Now because of the presence of Makuta in their minds one of them was able to forge masks of power. They used an unrecorded mask to raise the skull creatures. Commanding these creatures, they secretly orchestrated the search for the great masks, not wanting the other inhabitants to learn of their existence... They were almost able destroy the Mask of Creation but Kulta saw an opportunity to destroy the Toa and donned it instead. Kulta almost succeeded too, however Ekimu knocked it from his face and Kulta toppled backwards planting his head in the molten forge in which he was to destroy the mask. Learning the whereabouts of the Mask of Control they went to recover it, but were beaten to it by Umarak. They escaped, when the Toa attacked Umarak, into the shadows unseen by the heroes. “They” are the Corrupters of the Elements (the new “Brotherhood of Makuta” basically) and they wear the masks of corruption. Description _ Corrupter of Fire Wears the Mask of Combustion This corrupter can become a fire being with his mask and forge masks of power. His weapon/s are: Two Katars (punching daggers) mounted on his lower arms and Makuta’s mask making hammer. _ Corrupter of Stone Wears the Mask of Density This corrupter can increase the density of any part of his body. I may make him have four arms. His weapons are: Undecided _ Corrupter of Ice Wears the Mask of Fracturing This cold hearted corrupter fractures masks and drains their power. His weapon/s are: A ice mace and possibly a sword. _ Corrupter of Earth Wears the Mask of Gravity This corrupter can control gravity. He can use his power on himself and/or others. His weapon/s are: Undecided _ Corrupter of Water Wears the Mask of Envelopment This corrupter finds pleasure in enveloping his/her victims with water and then constricting the life out of them. His weapon/s are: A trident _ Corrupter of Jungle Wears the Mask of Impersonation This corrupter has the ability to change his physical form to that of another. His weapon/s are: Whip or Flail I may make one of the Corrupters legless to add a little more diversity in their designs (note this would leave more pieces for the upper body, making it appear almost titan sized). Any suggestions and/or criticism are welcome, weather it's about the masks or how you think the MOCs should look. Sorry if this is not the place to post this topic; I didn't know where to post it since it goes into several categories. Edit: By the way I prefer to work in 3d, so if anyone knows of a free 3d software I could use please let me know in the comments below (I have never used sculpting software and prefer to use dimensions, as in SolidWorks). This would not only look better, but it could make them 3d printable.

This is my take on Ekimu and Makuta. Both share nearly the exact same build. Rather than using Ekimu's build from 2015. I went with a similar but more animation accurate design and built a custom gearbox for them. Ekimu has green eyes and Makuta has red eyes. This is cause there are no purple eyes yet and both sets of eyes contrast against there trans colors. I've made Makuta's gear function swing his left arm as in the legend video. Makuta was shown holding his hammer in his left hand. Makuta also has the same shield as Ekimu as I couldn't think of anything else to give to his other hand. With that out of the way here are pictures of the brothers Ekimu http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimu4.jpg Makuta http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/makuta4.jpg Together http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimuandmakuta1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/Protectors/ekimuandmakuta2.jpg Comments and criticism appreciated

Hello everyone! With the new pieces from Uniter Onua and Terak I was finally able to recolor Ekimu into Makuta. Haven't seen a picture of the brothers together yet so I just wanted to show off I know, I know, Makuta isn't perfect... But still, it was fun to make so voila, here it is. PS: I don't have any photoshop skills and it was made in paint so I still consider this photo a success. Also it's not really a MOC, just a photo so I didn't know where to put the topic.

Here's a Makuta MOC I just made, so there's no backstory yet. I'm posting from my iPad so I can't upload pics, here's a link instead! https://board.ttvpodcast.com/t/makuta-notorix/17275 He serves as the nemesis of my self MOC which can be seen below https://board.ttvpodcast.com/t/self-moc-toa-tupac/14677/33

After only two Makuta are left in so-called 'Makuta Universe', Olmak was found by them. Two universes, they traveled to, had also their rulers weakened by tag. Those were dubbed 'Dark Hunter Universe' and 'Skakdi Universe'. Instead of starting war between three universes however, three ruling parties decided to start a tag. Winner will then become ruler of all three universes. Tag Player with tag has to target somebody without tag in 24 hours each round. This has 50% chance to tag target (removing it from tagger) and 50% chance of killing target. If target is ally, chance of just giving him a tag is 100%. Player can only target players in his current dimension or in dimension he is traveling to. If player with tag fails to target somebody, he has 50% chance to die, giving tag to random player. This doesn't apply if there is nobody to tag. Olmak Olmak is traveling on its free will at the end of every round to random dimension to random player (if there are players with tag in given dimension, one of them always gets it). This player can either stay in his dimension, ignoring Olmak, or can travel to any other dimension, along with up to one player of his choice, ally or enemy. Travel has to be performed before targeting. Other Last standing party wins the game. If all remaining players have tag, you are allowed to tag other player with tag. All actions are done by writing here (no PMs!). Roles Each dimension has its party with 2 special roles and Matoran. Makuta - Chance of being killed by getting targeted is decreased to 33%. Dark Hunter - Every even round, chance of killing target is increased to 67% (50% for Makuta). Skakdi - Upon being killed by targeting, they have 33% chance of killing tagger instead. Players Registration open for three days and until 12 spots are filled. There's currently no top limit of players. 1. ShadowVezon 2. Makuta Luroka 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. FF the Forgotten 8. fishers64 9. 10. 11. Shadowhawk 12. ...

Teridax called all of Makuta to Mata-Nui to play tag game. While Teridax wishes for everybody to have a fun, it's matter of honor for all Makuta. They will pointlessly fight for tag, not sure whether it is better to have or not to have tag. And so, this game starts with Makuta trying to tag each other. And to kill each other. Each round, player with tag have at least 24 hours to perform action. In this time limit, they can choose to tag somebody, by writing so into this topic. This has 50% chance to give tag to targeted player (removing tag from "attacker") and 50% chance to kill targeted player (one of those always happens). If player does not tag anybody (either by writing he doesn't target anybody or by doing nothing in time limit), he has 50% chance of being killed, giving tag to random player. Players who have got tag can't be targeted and one player can't be targeted more than once per round. When there is nobody to target (ie. when everybody, who is alive, has tag), group of alive players wins the game. When all players, who haven't got tag, are already targeted in current round, chance of random dying doesn't apply. Random chances are determined by me (Nik) on "random.org". Special roles (Players with special roles don't know about them. They are revealed upon death.): Teridax - Has 25% chance of dying when tagged instead of usual 50%. Bitil - Upon being tagged, has 50% chance of killing player who tagged him. Two people will have tag on start. More can be added in case of more players to keep it interesting. Spots: 1. Ghidora 2427135. Makuta Luroka 3. ShadowVezon - Winner 4. Voltex 5. Petewa the Bitil 6. Kopekemaster 7. FF the Forgotten - Winner 8. fishers64 the Teridax 9. Dark Samus 10. Toa Kapura 11. Shadowhawk 12. Toa Smoke Monster Registration is now closed.

-Spiriah's official incarnation was interesting to say the least, and was met with mixed reactions. What I tried to do was build his regular form, while still keeping some cues from his official incarnation in the build. I pretty much removed the grey from his color scheme and reduced the green to a minimum. I hope that the finished product that you see before you is still recognizable despite his extreme makeover. Gallery when public. Thank you for visiting and have a nice day/night.

There's something about G2 that bothers me. Why the heck did everyone hate Makuta even before he made the Mask of Ultimate Power? Is it because his masks were terrible in quality or was everyone just a massive jerk to him for fun? If it's the latter, why didn't his own brother defend him or teach him how to craft better masks? Or did Ekimu also join in with the villagers and taunt his brother to the breaking point?
-
I mean, Control is such a broad concept. If I can control anything, that makes me...nearly omnipotent, doesn't it? I think the first limitation they might throw on the Mask of Control is that you have to have the concentration/willpower/mental mastery to Control big things, so seizing control of the entire universe outright is out. But still, I'm thinking that Makuta could Control the villager's liking/not liking of his masks using his mask. Or he could mind control his brother to make worse masks than him. If he used his mask, he could Control anything he wanted to within some degree of limits. I do think that jealously doesn't quite work that way - the Makuta might have thought that using his mask to change his admiration quotient was a cheap cop-out. (Or would the villagers view it as a cheap cop-out? But how would they know?) But then again, Ekimu was probably using his mask to enhance his mask making, so that might seem a bit odd - why couldn't Makuta use his? Then - why did he think that making the Mask of Ultimate Power was the solution? At first glance, that mask actually seems weaker than the Mask of Control, since it only controls 6 elements whereas the Mask of Control controls (or can control) everything? Why did Makuta make a "Mask of Ultimate Power" when he already had it on his face? -
Look, an unevolved dork bug. As per usual, this is a pre-evolution and pre-mutation, G1 Makuta design. I thought this would take the least time to finish but I got stuck on his face, and then Undertale and Gravity Falls happened in my life. And some graduation film progress. You should have seen my first attempt on his face (not the mask, jus the face). Next Makuta up, Spiriah.

Meet the original boss of the Brotherhood. Following the pattern, this is a pre-evolution rendition of a G1 Makuta, and very likely before Teridax's betrayal. Miserix was actually a real challenge design wise, had to go through several silhouettes before settling at one that still felt buff enough, but wouldn't be TOO top-heavy. His Kanohi needed some heavy figuring out too. Obviously he is the most removed from his original cannon look (x 40ft/12m tall dragon). I tried to go for something more sage like but still make him look like he could snap a Toa in half with his bare hands. I'm not sure if the Brotherhood would actually use any kind of formal wear or anything that would differentiate their leader, but I'm sure Miserix would go for something simple. And I definitely remember somewhere that Greg stated Miserix didn't liked showy stuff? At least that was one of the reasons for shifting the winning MOC design's colour scheme from red to greenish. (???) Though that info might be off. Next Makuta up, Bitil. As always comments, and CC are welcome and make me happy! =) Feed me your comments...

We have discovered that Ekimu is an Evil Vampire. Ekimu's name starts with E, and has an i. This is shared with the word 'Evil'. Ekimu's name has an e, m, and i. This is shared with the word 'Vampire'. Ekimu was resting in a coffin for a very long time. Ekimu required elemental energy - he feeds on the elemental energy of other beings. He is currently 'discoloured' because he needs more energy, and has manipulated the Toa into giving him elemental energy. Makuta put his face in the sky to prevent Ekimu leaving his resting place, so that Ekimu may never terrorize Okoto. The Skull Skeletons are not controlled by Makuta or Ekimu - they answer to the Lord of Skull Spiders, who, conveniently for Ekimu, is not in close proximity. Makuta is the face in the sky. He has ascended beyond the need for a physical body. The Mask of Control allows him to control Ekimu's sleep... until his control was broken by Ekimu gaining more power from elemental energy. Most villagers on Okoto have been tricked into basically worshipping Ekimu. Ekimu is now free to unleash his minions on Okoto... and unleash them, he did... This is 100% foolproof and anyone that says otherwise is obviously one of Ekimu's minions.

And another one pops up on the internetz: His legs were a real killer. Had to redraw it, because the proportions were waaaaaaaaaay off. But I still wanted to draw him small legs, because I mainly imagine Vamprah to be a flier by default even before Karda-Nui. Also had some issues with face that had to be readjusted later.

So let me present you guys another pre-evolution Makuta: And so, Krika is not alone anymore! For the time being. I’m pretty sure they like to drink together whatever swill they can find in the MU and talk slag about Teridax. As always comments, and CC are welcome and make me happy! =)
