Toa of Gallifrey Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Can the character be a reimagining? What I mean is, keeping the same recognizable aesthetic of the character but altering its colors a little and changing its purpose (ie. Keetongu as a gold mecha meant to protect the Mask of Time instead of an orange Rahi). Edited February 8, 2015 by Toa of Gallifrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

admiraltyphoon Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 That's quite an interesting idea for a contest. Does the entry need to be 100% CCBS or can we also use G1 pieces?I've read and re-read rule no. 3 but I don't understand if by "Bionicle parts" you mean G1 or G2....

kanohi of jello Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Are we allowed to enter a MoC of a character that already has a CCBS set (namely the toa)? There were three different versions of each of them released as sets (Mata, Nuva, and Phantoka/Mistika), so it would make sense that different versions would be possible in the CCBS-verse too. move along. nothing to see here.

VBBN Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 Just to verify- We can only build one character, correct? What I mean is, in the case of a set like Maxilos/Spinax, Baranus, or Vezon/Kardas, you couldn't build both the "character" and the "steed", correct? Just one or the other?

Casperger Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 (edited) Not specific to just the contest, but legal building as a whole, are we allowed to remove printings from parts?I'm curious because if pieces came with stickers instead, like Onua's chest, but we didn't put them on, are we allowed to take the printing off another Toa's chest?

Konahrik Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) Entries don't have to only be built with Bio'15 parts, right? They just have to be able to "blend in" with the recently released sets? EDIT: If the character we are making was comprised of colors not yet available in CCBS yet, would it be suitable to use a different color as long as the entry is recognizable, like using black to replace dark blue?

From what I've gathered, it's mainly about emulating the feel/look of Gen 2, rather than having to rely solely on CCBS parts/the HF build. As far as I've seen, it's probably best to include CCBS, but all parts are game. That's quite an interesting idea for a contest.

RahiSpeak Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Oh yes! This is going to be my first entry into a BZPower contest and I love the theme! Now if I understand correctly, the winning entry will be the one that most emulates the Gen1 character in the Gen2 style, not whoever makes the biggest and coolest build. That means that people like me who don't have many CCBS pieces have a chance at this, right? I mean, too big or intracate and it loses the Gen2 style. Do I see hope?

Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Well since the rule of the contest is it has to fit in the Gen2 universe, regardless of piece choice much larger/complicated MOCs would hinder their chances I would think. Though we as the voters can choose if this epic 1,000x piece MOC fits Gen2 or that Matoran/Protector does so better. Me I wont be voting for expensively complicated MOCs. I am looking for what I feel looks like it could be on Okoto. I recommend to follow voting rules others do the same. A good idea for reference(not plagiarizing) is the Okoto wildlife thread... While his creations are not canon Rahi from Gen1, they do fit in the Okoto Gen2 universe... Also they are not overly complicated... This is what I will be looking for when voting is open...
