Distorted Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 (edited) It's between 3, 7 and 8 for me. I eventually went with 3, because it has a sweet gear function, and because 8 doesn't need any help. (Seriously, that thing is awesome.) Honourable mention for 9, which is adorable. EDIT: added in a missing space.

Click Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Honestly, it wasn't even a contest. 3 was the only one here that really looked G1 to me, and it's especially impressive that they used mostly parts available before 2005. Plus I like Dark Hunters. ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voxumo Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Gah this is a tough choice, but I ultimately went with #2... It's a freakin bird-man.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Ended up going with 9 because reasons. It is not for us to decide the fate of angels.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Numbers two and eight are definitely the top choices here. Of those that pair, I went with 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 And I get stuck going up against the best entries, three times in a row. XD Ah well. Best of luck to you, fellow competitors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 2, 7, and 8 catch my eye here, but I'm gonna go with Makuta Hunter because it just has some good shaping, and I love the color scheme. ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Invisible Handman Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 2 for me, it looked the best while remaining bionicle G1 ish. {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 Nothing really strikes me in this poll, but I went for #7, which has a couple nifty design aspects and looks passable for a G1 titan.

Bonkle Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 Voted four because it felt very much like an actual set. The others are really cool, but often over-the-top MOCs don't match the aesthetic for me. I been away a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
...The Chosen One... Posted June 24, 2016 Share Posted June 24, 2016 (edited) I voted for number 8, it's the best for me in this topic. Edited June 25, 2016 by ...The Chosen One... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSciFiGuy Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Went with #3. Great Dark Hunter build and I can imagine it being a set.

Hovoki Zehvor Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 8 and 3 really stood out for me in another great group. I ended up going with with 3 because it would look right at home in my well-read Dark Hunters guide. Number 8 though, wow.

Aanchir Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Tough choice between 2, 3, and 8 (weird, entry 8 ended up being a standout for me in all three polls). Entry 8 in this poll succeeds even with an extremely monochrome design in part due to its eclectic use of textures. It's reminiscent of many prototype Bionicle sets from over the years, but unlike those which are mostly cut and glued and then painted with a silvery finish, this one is purist, achieving the same use through the use of greebly details both small and large. Its rotund, somewhat cartoonish proportions set it apart from any official sets and even from most MOCs. It feels sorta like a video game enemy. 2, on the other hand, really exemplifies the old-school "riotflea" MOC craze, plus has a dynamic color scheme and textures that don't call quite so much attention to themselves. Its proportions are spindly, aggressive, and alien like I'd expect a "riotflea" to be. The biggest drawback of this one is that its build feels almost more "timeless" than "old-school" — flares and curves like this model has are about as pervasive in System and CCBS MOCs as they were in G1 Bionicle MOCs, and so it's really only the "riotflea" concept that dates it. 3 stands out in its own way — it is not as ambitious in its building techniques as 2 or 8, but it has a distinctive G1 feel with its clumsy, machine-like build, and the yellow Jack Stone elements used as accents go a long way to balance out the grey, black, and silver. As the builder intended, it feels like it could fit in the Dark Hunters guide, and yet it feels like it could fit in among that guide's best entries, or even among some of the official G1 Dark Hunter sets and combi models. After much debate I settled on Entry 8, which is both the most impressive for me visually and elicits the most nostalgia. Rather than just an old set or an old MOC, it feels like an unfinished PROTOTYPE of an old set! That's, like, double the old! And yet in spite of that inherent roughness that would feel horrendously out-of-place on a finished set, its neutral color palette and unconventional materials are reminiscent of a mixed media art piece. So I guess I ended up voting a straight 8-8-8 ticket. Ah, well. Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
