Bionicle MOC showcase: Toa Okoto + Happy New Year!


MrBT

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

MrBT here also known as MrBoltTron from YouTube and flickr and TheBoltTron from devintART and before the beginning of 2015, here are my own redesigned Toa Okoto (Mata) team. As you're going to see they are basically based on rebooted Bionicle characters. This project took about two months to create them following up 2015 Toa designs :) Criticism are welcomed! ^_^

Also...to anyone who claims the CCBS system isn't useful, talk to MrBT. All 6 of these MOCs MASTERFULLY use CCBS parts in conjunction with old Bionicle parts and system parts to create some of the coolest versions of these characters I've ever seen! After looking at them again, I really like all 6 and can't pick a favorite! Will you be releasing any instructions to these guys? (not that I even have the parts to build them)

Welcome to BZP MrBoltron!  ^_^

 

Seeing them all together, I think that Onua is my favorite. He just looks sooo powerful with those shoulders/chest. Pohatu's feet are astounding, and Lewa's maneuverability at the waist and his bendable bow make him a favorite too - I just think he is a little cluttered at the shoulders. I also think Kopaka will look a lot better if you could add some of the 2015 detail pieces to those gold shells at the knees, right now they're a little too smooth and slender (unless that's what you were going for).

 

Anyways it's great to see them all lined up, and I can't wait to see what you bring in 2015!

Thanks a lot!:D I learned most of it from syoya who is from flickr. About instructions, you're not the only one who asks these instructions, a few people from YouTube asked instructions and if I remember correctly, also people from flickr and dA asked the instructions.

 

But I'm not sure about, but I can make a standard form of it (so that the upper torso area doesn't have any bulk on them). The reason why I'm going to make an instructions in future, because I really don't like to see too many people using my idea, not in a bad way, but I really want to see the other people's idea to make their custom torso:) And about releasing the instructions, well, I'm planning to create a video tutorial of it in Spring, because right now, I'm sure that the MOCers can create their own custom torso. But that's just me.

I completely understand. I only asked because I've seen others do it, but you have good reason to not do it. I will hopefully have some MOCs up soon, I'm waiting to build them since I don't have the new Masters yet.

Thanks a lot!:) About Lewa's jungle leaves and vines, there is an option which is just removing those leaves, making him a little better, but I forgot to showed that.

 

Also Kopaka's design, don't give me wrong, I really like 2015 version of Kopaka, but I really prefer him to being a slender type Toa, because he is cold and noble, and that immediately gives me an idea about Kopaka's design. But those Inika armor parts are kinda a replacement of those new armor parts to Kopaka's lower legs.

 

Right now, I have to wait those new Bionicle sets so that they arrive here in Finland, because the shipments takes quite long time, but I'm pretty sure that they arrive soon.

These are awesome revamps. They have a lot of detail put into them, and the all look very unique. My favorite would have to be either Tahu or Pohatu. Well done! ^_^  :)

Thanks!^_^

The idea for these new Toas was totally make them as different as possible, we have seen a lot of "clone" sets back in 2001-2006. Sure after 2006, Toas and the enemies were much different compairing to each other (expect kinda Phantoka Makutas, they were kinda different, because the torso were same, but the limbs were not).

 

To me, my favourite of myToa Okoto team is especially Pohatu, because of those pipes and pistons and those coolerturbines.:)

These are great! I love how you incorporated aspects of every incarnation into each figure. The details are great, and I have to say Pohatu is my favorite.

 

My one complaint is that Onua has purple only on his limbs, and none on his torso. Either put more purple in the torso, or remove it altogether, because the way it currently is doesn't quite look as good. I do like the way you did his hands, though, with the big knuckles. Brilliant work, my good sir.

They look great! I love the variety in body shapes they have, and the themed weapons (An anchor is genius for a Toa of Water).

 

Thanks a lot!:D

Thank you very much!:) I understand that he lacks some purple colors, well especially in torso area. Fortunately I will use that new 2015 Onua's xl chest part's stickers to make it better.
