Irrie Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 (edited) Does the Hordika headpiece count? Nah, I kid. I'm probably a fan of the Toa Metru Head, since it was the one I grew up with.

Lyichir Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I went with the 2015 reboot head. Although if the Hero Factory Brain Attack head were on the poll, it might have gotten my vote—what it lacks in detail it makes up for in sheer versatility. 1 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Tohunga head. Sure it is designed specifically to inhibit all articulation, is massive and awkwardly shaped, and doesn't accommodate eye coloration, but it also gives the user incomparably radical sideburns. And I think that that is really the most we can ask of a BIONICLE head piece. 5 Quote believe victims. its actually not that hard, and youd look kind of bad if you were to, say, side with an abuser because theyre your friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regitnui Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I'm for the Metru head at the moment, though my preferences may change when I see the new head. Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

Aanchir Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I feel like the 2015 head is the best one aesthetically, at least in terms of actually using it as a head/face. It's like the best aspects of the Toa Metru head and the Glatorian head rolled up into one gorgeous design! Like my brother said earlier, the Brain Attack head from LEGO Hero Factory is easily the best one as a general building element, as far as sheer versatility is concerned. But since that wasn't one of the poll options I voted for the 2015 head piece. 2 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 The Metru head.

Aanchir Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 Mata head. It's the only head that looks good without a mask. Wh-what? Just what do you mean by "looks good"? It's definitely an iconic element, but I definitely wouldn't consider its plug-mouth better looking than the Metru head or especially not the 2015 head. The Metru head just looks weird. The proportions are off. It's too elongated. I don't entirely see where you're coming from. Besides the eyestalk (which can be swapped out for the shorter version from Toa Mahri Kongu if it bothers you that much), the Toa Metru head's proportions are barely any different from the Toa Mata head's. Like a real human head, the length from front to back is only slightly less than its height from the top of the head to the chin. The same goes for the new 2015 head and the Glatorian head (both of which I'd say improve on previous BIONICLE heads as far as proportions are concerned by shifting the entire head slightly backward on the neck joint). The Toa Metru head also has more sensible proportions than the Toa Mata head from the front, I'd say. Like a real human head, its width is roughly 2/3 its height. Again, the same is true of the Glatorian head and the new 2015 head. But this is not true of the wider Toa Mata head, and for some bizarre reason its widest point is its lower jaw. 4 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana Gunz Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 I went ahead and said 2015 head. It hasn't come out yet but from the looks of it, it looks great and has wonderful functionality.

Zeb Posted October 25, 2014 Share Posted October 25, 2014 My favorite is definitely the 2015 head. PROSIt is the first opaque Bionicle head to attach via a socket rather than a ball, allowing for easy connection to the standard CCBS torso. (And modding older torsos fit a socket head is considerably easy. Most of the time all you need are these parts and a few 2-stud-long axles. It also features the wonderful new head attachment points, and the eyestalks that double as mask launchers are really cool. The head also features a cool-looking face. CONSIt lacks both an axle & stud connection. I'm sure it would be possible for someone to model a 3D-printable adapter for the old stud masks, but there's no way you're attaching an axle mask to the new head. The fact that the masks themselves can attach to the Brain Attack head and any Y-joint or HF hand makes up for this, though. (The HF Brain Attack head is now officially the most compatible head there is, since all axle helmets & masks, as well as the new clip-on masks, can attach to it. The only standard masks/helmets that can't be attached to it are the classic stud masks & rubbery Inika masks.) Actually, while I'm at it...

OnuaNut Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Definitely the Mata head. I love their look, but also because the pre-2002 Kanohi fit snugly on the mouth-piece, they're available in a variety of colors, and the axle connections let you attach to a wider variety of parts than the other heads.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Toa Metru head, hands down. An upgrade from the Mata head (which looked cool) but easier to separate the brain stalks and the fact that it had a ball joint meant posebility, which was a big deal back in 2004. And of course, it was compatible with pretty much all masks, which is a huge plus. Other heads have got nothing on it. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dralcax Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 The Metru head. It has several eye colors (which are easy to swap out) and is compatible with the vast majority of masks.

Prime Axiom Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 (edited) I have to say 2015 heads. Looks pretty good and has a functional purpose. Also, I like the way the masks are attacked on these heads. They seem like actual masks now that we dont need to fit an axle in the mouth. Metru heads looked too ugly imo.

High Voltage Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Even if it's incompatible with the older masks I think the reboot head is the best. Just because the face underneath doesn't sacrifice any aesthetics for the sake of a mask connection. Inika head is by far the worst out of all of them, which I'd care a bit more about if any of the Inika masks looked good enough to ever actually use.

Iblis Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Toa Mata / Nuva heads Except "eyepiece hard to detach" - this is always underestimated on forums. The first time I removed one of those I felt like a god!So that was a huge point the Toa Metru had over them; but even though I liked the look of the Metru heads as well, they didn't offer as many uses as the Mata head piece so ultimately win the Mata heads win. I hated the Inika heads & the Av-Matoran heads: the former masks where too organic and the actual head didn't work as well for armour etcetera just because the colouring was to inconsistent with my tastes; and more importantly the connectivity was a pain; as for the later; they where one useless shape that looked awkward even with the mask on - moreso than any other mask/head issues. I actually liked the Hordika all around. Although I normally dislike asymmetry. The Tohunga heads where also to big bulky and not really usable. The Piraka heads suffered wheren't useful for anything really, and even if you could get past the teeth the organic faces couldn't really be combined with others things to well...I have a feeling I might end up liking the 2015 heads the most; but I don't want to judge them yet.

Zeddy Posted October 30, 2014 Share Posted October 30, 2014 Toa Metru head. It was similar enough to the classic Mata head (which is a close second) but with improved function. The Piraka heads would be third, for me. The worst of the bunch would be the Inika heads because they're weren't even heads, really.

Mallow Toa of Smashing Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Metru Head. They're the most versatile of the heads in my opinion, and they accept both stud and axle type kanohi (except for the Vahi). Generally for mocs, I do prefer to make custom heads, but I will use a Metru head if I can't make a custom one.
