xccj Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 There are a lot of good ones here. 1, 2, 3, and 7 are also great humanoids that harken back to the classic Bionicle days too. And #9 has a colorful and unique shape to it that I like. But I think my favorite design here is the Manas, so that's where my vote's going.

Voxumo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Well... Considering I'm the one who suggested they enter it, My vote goes to #1. While there definitely are some really good mocs in this, I still think #1 is the most interesting of the entrants to look at. Simple in terms of design, but what little parts it uses it uses well to give off a menacing vibe, and stay true to the G1 feel. And don't get me wrong, the manas are great, and they likely will blow the rest of the competition out of the water, but I want to see an underdog have a chance.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I love Jordrok, I really do... but darn it, I can't vote against that Manas, I just can't. It is not for us to decide the fate of angels. Dominus Temporis, if you're out there, hit me up through one of my contacts. I've been hoping to get back in touch for a long time now.

Toa Imrukii Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I went with number 2. Ekimu, the Great Spirit.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Self-voted for Ekimu. That Manas is going to dominate the poll, though. As it should! It's a great entry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Manas doesn't really fit the G1 feel, simply because it's a set re-design, but it's the best MOC in the contest. Good luck, #8. I hope you win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Manas is exceptional--very menacing and nostalgic. However, I like the look and build of Jordok more. I'm gonna go with him. ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Distorted Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Tough choice between 1, 2, 9 and my own entry. Ended up going for 1, because I like how they've kept the same style running through the whole creation despite using a range of different parts. 1 bonkle choons for your ears bonkle sets in great condition w/ instructions and canisters for your collection (ebay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makaru Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 I love Disty's Manas, and while it is the best MOC here (and possibly in-contest) by technical standards, I'm really not digging entirely it for the contest theme. I think you could have really made it more like the face and jaws all the way through, thematically. 1 Spoiler Alert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Entry 2 got my vote. Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Invisible Handman Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Man this is a tough one, 1,2,3, 8 and 9 are all good builds. {Brickshelf Page - BZPRPG Profile - HFRPG Profile - Project Protodermis Profile} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-N Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 The Manas seems to have the G1 feel mainly because of the inherent general structure of a Manas, with the treads and mechanical arms. I feel like that should work against it, because it relies on that inherent design rather than any creativity or innovation to fulfill the G1-style criteria. But it is such a good MOC that I still voted for it. "What we see depends mainly on what we look for" -John Lubbock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonkle Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ohhh this one was tough. 1, 2, 3, 5, and 8 were all contenders for my vote. Ultimately though, I went with #3 because it had a traditional but original design. I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrSciFiGuy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Very Close call this time. I went with #3. Manas, you were so close.

Hovoki Zehvor Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 It's always awesome to see so many great examples of creativity in our community. It was a close call, but my vote went to #3 for the clean and very cool design. That's a Toa I'd like to hear more about. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnaHFstqCK97bHNwpwztn_Q Check out my YouTube channel for LEGO, YuGiOh and Pokemon videos!

Gatanui Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 I voted for the Manas, my absolute favourite in this contest. I particularly liked entry #3 as well, though. - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Entry 8 is by far the best entry here in terms of both looks and functionality, and while it doesn't quite nail down that "old-school" look throughout, Entry 3 is the only one in this poll that I think does so well enough to balance out its faults. I voted for 8, but I encourage people who would prefer a more greebly-looking entry to take a good long look at 3 before casting your vote!

Volitak_Boxor Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 When I first looked at the Manas, I thought to myself, "Well, that's a pretty lame entry. Someone just took a Manas and rebuilt the claws!" Then I noticed the face... then the panels... then it finally clicked that it was a custom-built recreation of the Manas's motorized block, not the original. I was fooled for a good couple moments, so that speaks to the MOC's faithfulness to its inspiration. And it's even still motorized! I like how the head looks more like a head than the original (and more menacing), and props to the creative use of the McToran torsos. ^ Often lurking, occasionally writing about sets on BS01.
