doodleloot Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 Does anyone know where those trans. purple bones come from? The original poster of the picture on Deviantart wouldn't say where he got those. It doesn't look like a knock-off to me, since the color looks exactly like on the spiked ball.

doodleloot Posted July 15, 2015 Author Share Posted July 15, 2015 The trans bones come from the 2015 set protector of earth. That was my first thought too, but they actually come with the set in black. Quote Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tristan Teridax Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 The trans bones come from the 2015 set protector of earth.Yeah sorry I thought so too, I'm really not sure then. Maybe they're from a superhero constraction set? That was my first thought too, but they actually come with the set in black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aanchir Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 I believe the builder of that created the transparent bones himself by filing off the ends of the 5M bones from Protector of Earth. That's my best guess, anyway. 3 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted July 15, 2015 Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Yeah, I have no idea. Best guess is that they're either a very, very good knockoff, or that they're prototypes that the MOCist somehow got ahold of. I can verify that there isn't a single set that features them in that color. It'd certainly be nice if they were prototypes, since it could hint at a G2 Makuta set somewhere down the line... EDIT: My brother's suggestion is extremely plausible and I never could have come up with it myself. That's probably more likely than anything else.

That's my best guess, anyway. Woah, I didn't even think of that! Upon taking a closer look I managed to prove your idea too!The bones have 3 little holes on either side of their balljoints, they aren't arranged in the same way on all bones though.The 3M bone has the single hole on top, with two additional holes under it. Whereas the trans. purple bones that were included in the Protector of Earth set have the two holes on top, with the single hole underneath. If you look closely at the picture in my original post, you can see that the pattern matches that of the longer bone.Guess I should've taken a closer look before jumping the gun on this one. 2 Quote Hail Denmark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
