Whenua Hordika Revamp


Click

Recommended Posts

Well, here's another MOC from my Flickr galleries that I've been meaning to upload. I've always imagined that Visorak Venom doesn't cause such a drastic change as it does in the sets and movies. Much of the Metru's armor would still be there, but with spikes and extra armor grown through it. I've drawn this concept before (poorly), but this year I realized that the new Bionicle 2015 armor pieces have pretty much the perfect aesthetic for a Hordika/Metru foot, and so Whenua Hordika Revamped was born:

Some interesting things to note include the opening jaw, the posable shoulders and waist, and the working spinner. So, comment, critique, and hopefully enjoy!

Nice job! :) I never owned any of the Hordika, but your MOC looks like a much more fleshed-out version of the thin Whenua Hordika design.  The arms, legs, and torso all look much more like a Toa's!  The green stud in the middle is also a nice splash of color!

I rarely see a hordika revamp and you have done it justice. I love the weapon arm and how you created a closed back.

Why do i feel like i've seen this before?

Jangbricks did a "full-Hordika" revamp a few years ago. Maybe that's what you're recalling?http://www.jangbricks.com/2009/09/bionicle-mocs-hordika-not-toa.html

Maybe he was referring to my Movie style Whenua I made a while back before the great archive clearing. http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=498962

I really like what you've done here, he looks quite gorilla-like, which is exactly what I imagine the Hordika to be like... I'm personally not sold on the posable mouth, but its a decent attempt :)

 

I wasn't exactly going for the gorilla look, but I like that it turned out that way. It suits Whenua. Of course, if I was building Nokama or Matau, it would be quite different.

 

Ah well, you can't please everyone. Whenua's mask seemed to fit a mouth, but I just wish I had that piece in black...

Yeah, I haven't seen many either, and that was one reason why I built it. So many characters with so little representation...

Or maybe it's the fact that this MOC has been sitting in my Flickr gallery for months before I bothered to post it here. I don't know though. Hordika revamps seem pretty scarce.
