Onepu, 2015

Glad to see you back, and what a beaut! Wonderful work on this little guy. The headdress is both fitting and majestic, and I love the feet. They carry a very Tohunga vibe. The hips might be an area to work on, though I'm not quite sure how to do it without messing with the great body construction you have. Overall – pretaaaaaay good.

I love this. Smaller, but a lot of attention to detail. My first foray into any type of MOCing began only with the 2015 bag of parts I got, so it's nice to see what someone can do with them. I'm mostly amazed as to how you got the Skull Spider mask to fit on something that wasn't the head. I couldn't figure that out for the life of me. (Then again, I guess that's not saying all too much.)

 

That headdress is also really, really cool. Those purple wings weren't part of the 2015 parts, were they? I'd hate to have missed those in the rush.

Wow, this is a neat take on Onepu! I nearly forgot about that guy.

 

And if he's the chieftain, then what is the Protector of Fire now? At NYCC, the team said that Protectors fill the role of chiefs/elders in the story, almost like Turaga, but more like fighters.

Turns out the new masks will fit neatly onto any piece that's two studs wide with either axle or pin holes on each end. They'll lock in place if they're axle holes and swing loosely if they're pins. It's pretty neat.

 

And thank you! The wings I got in a Chima set I picked up randomly earlier this year, but they're also in the purple Mixels.

Oh...so they fit on the most common peice in Bionicle? Ha! Shows how much I know. =P

 

That's actually a really neat fit, too! Thanks for that.

I kinda figured they would fit onto a glatorian head (of which I have plenty), but I cannot wait to try it out myself.

I really like the MOC, It definitely gives the feel of a 'turaga' Onepu, and the colors blend really nicely. He gives the impression of a leader, and the whole MOC works smoothly. Great work!

I think you did a great job building Onepu with ccbs, really like the way you used the new Pakari with the purple highlight above it, its a very creative use of the mask. Plus using the Skull Spider Mask on the arm was a great use of that part too! Overall great job!

How many other 2015 parts did you have left over after building that?

I love this, it's a fantastic recreation of something old in a new medium. I think this looks so much better than the protectors we're getting and I'm sure it would probably provide us with a better story too (though hopefully not!) It's really great to see a return of the old turaga, even though it's not canon, and I'd love a set like this for myself. Only if you can do the other five too though :D

This is a really neat MOC! I love how you managed to add enough purple to it to make it resemble Onepu. My only complaint would be that I don't really like the somewhat messy look of the torso. I get that you seem to have been going for a "greebled" look but I don't know if I'd say it works all that well.

I like your creativity and unique take, but I feel that the massive headdress throws me off.

That is awesome. I really love the headdress and the feet, which harken back to those old feet. Gotta love Onepu!

 

Turns out the new masks will fit neatly onto any piece that's two studs wide with either axle or pin holes on each end. They'll lock in place if they're axle holes and swing loosely if they're pins. It's pretty neat.

My suspicions were confirmed! I'm so happy that they aren't going to be utterly useless to MOCists.

The body on this MOC is not good and it looks really odd, I think giving him a different body and give him like the black star foot as the chest would look a lot better. The head is great looking like the use of those purple wing pieces but I think it would be more on a toa size MOC then a Matoran size in my opinion and last the feet looks pretty good looking.

 

I may make my own Onepu when I get the new sets when they come out or make like a 2015 Jaller or Matoro.

The tribal vibe of this Onepu is just awesome. The way you've emulated the McToran feet with new parts is quite clever. From the side, there's a gap between the trans-purple leg and the foot that I find a little troubling, but that's only from that one angle.
 
I have to say, that little gear made me squee a little inside.

I love this MOC. It reminds me so much of the original Onepu. I love the staff. It was a really nice touch. The headpiece looks great with the 2015 Pakari as well. But above all, the feet are what make the MOC. They so perfectly replicate the McToran feet, only in modern form. I mean, really! People! Look at those GOSH DARN FEET! I think I'm gonna cry... This is so perfectly Onepu... Onepu is the first one that comes to mind when people mention the McToran. This is simply perfect! Well done, sir!

I like how you built this one. I can definitely see the inspiration from the original Onepu. I agree with a few of the previous commentors, that the head dress might be a little too big. It looks cool, but the size compared to the rest of the body is just a little too big. The rest of it looks really and I like the way the feet try to imitate the original feet.

Congrats on making the Main Page! I really like the head design. It establishes a sort of tribal feel similar to what we got from the Mask of Creation, and is a good way to incorporate purple into the MOC's scheme. Any chance we'll see more Matoran get revamps like this?

Nice job!

This MOC shows the tribal feelings that the 2001 story was trying to convey shown in parts form.

I also like the creative use of purple for the head as a substitute for the old purple Pakari that Onepu originally had.

Seems legit.

I really like how you recreated the classic foot design; for some reason, they're probably my favorite part. But I also like how you made the best of what's available to give him some purple around the mask, despite the limitations of the new mask itself not being in that color.

 

All in all, it's a nice little guy you got here, Tom. :)
