Popular Post BlackboltJohnson Posted March 22, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Entry for the March contest. What if in a final, desperate moment of an unwinnable battle, Tahu and Ikir flung themselves into the heart of a volcano with the hopes of ascending to a whole new level of power? What would happen? Well that's what I was imagining when I made this MOC. The uniter function is still intact in the torso, but I only used it here to attach Ikir's head as a helmet.What do you guys think of Tahu's "ultimate" form? Evolved form with Ikir and ultimate flames! Bonus x-ray shot: Edited April 5, 2016 by -Windrider- 25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Jaton Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Wow,you topped the regular unity Tahu and Ikir as Omega Tahu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rakrondewl Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I have no words to describe how cool I think this is! Incredible MOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ptah Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Mega evolution Tahu! Good build all around. Next time if you have a gray mat or posterboard, I think it my tone down the brightness, but allow Tahu to pop. The bright white background makes it too light.

Next time if you have a gray mat or posterboard, I think it my tone down the brightness, but allow Tahu to pop. The bright white background makes it too light. Thanks for the tip. The bright white looks great on my laptop and mobile screens though, and it's the same background I use for almost all my MOCs. I love the strong contrast against the white, and in fact I often turn up the exposure to make it even brighter! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkle Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 Incredible! Normally I'm not a fan of gold unless it's an accent color, but it works perfectly here. This is everything the Uniter set should have been. I just can't get over how dynamic and cool he looks! The only thing I don't like is the crotchplate, it just looks out of place.

Millennium Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 I promised myself to always have words to spare whenever I come across a good MOC (it's the only thing I do on this site by now), but in front of yours it's a difficult task. He is so much like how I always imagined Golden Armor Tahu to be. Good job on Lewa and Gali, too! (I share your thoughts on Pohatu, though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Takanuinuva Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 You managed to make an all gold and trans orange Tahu look good. Though why no Pheonix wings? Quote I am Takanui Nuva.

BlackboltJohnson Posted March 24, 2016 Author Share Posted March 24, 2016 You managed to make an all gold and trans orange Tahu look good. Though why no Pheonix wings? Thanks! But he's too large to make decent wings. Specifically gold wings. Silver wings, or any other color for that matter, just wouldn't look right. But they don't make the right kind of gold parts I would need to make wings big enough for a MOC this size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrokorta Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 (edited) Wow. THIS LOOKS AWESOME!!!! I mean, he's big and well colored, and Ikir just makes him cooler (though I do wonder why you didn't include the wings). If this were a set I would (try to) buy it. I got my answer.

The Invisible Handman Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 THIS ISN'T EVEN MY FINAL FINAL FOOOORM! Ahem. But yeah this is veeery cool, wish eh could properly unite with a final form Ikir, but besides that I have nothing to criticize. WELL DONE!

Jakura Nuva Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Wonderful! Just when you think Tahu can't get more golden, haha. Way past cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToaDraco Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 That's an omega Tahu if I've ever seen one. Insanely awesome job! The overall shaping and armoring looks great and sturdy and the color distribution is good, though The ultimate form with Ikir feels like its missing the wings. 1 Quote "Avengers? Fantastic Four?
