Distorted Posted February 12, 2017 Toa Gali and Turaga Nokama investigate the mysterious temple on the shores of Naho Bay - but they're ambushed by an angry Tarakava! Help Gali defeat the dangerous Rahi and discover the the secrets of the Bohrok Sea Temple! - Raise and lower the temple door! - Pull out the back axles to make the pillars collapse! - Includes Toa Gali, Turaga Nokama and Tarakava minifigures! - Set contains 366 pieces - RRP $34.99 - Built for a contest on another Bionicle fansite where the challenge is to create a feasible Bionicle set using mainly System elements. Wanted to do a few entries but unfotunately ran out of time. Also, I know the Photoshopping isn't great, but given my newbish skills and time constraints I'm really happy happy with how it turned out.

The Invisible Handman Posted February 13, 2017 That temple door feature is nice. I also love the miniature tarkava who's just great. It's a good setpiece. 3 Quote {Brickshelf Page - BZPRPG Profile - HFRPG Profile - Project Protodermis Profile} Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Master Inika Posted February 13, 2017 Beautiful. If this were an actual set, I'd so buy it. 1 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.

Pohaturon Posted February 14, 2017 This right here is absolutely fantastical. I'd buy this thing in a heartbeat were it an actual product. Now I'd love to see you create a similar thing for all six elements (do stone first!). Massive props mate, superb MOC. 1 Quote Stone rocks I write stories, which you can read at A Beach, Somewhere.

Valendale Posted February 16, 2017 This is a great moc, especially the little tarakava. I also love the use of the Bohrok head as the door of the temple. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TERIDAX941 Posted February 17, 2017 Great job! I applaud you! I oftentimes wish they actually sold mini versions of the buildable figures just to enjoy some of the Mata Nui landscapes and such.. oh well wishful thinking. Again well done! 1 Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AZBlue Posted February 17, 2017 I think this is really cool. I'm interested in the Tarakava build, specifically how to build it! The entire model is fairly reminiscent of the system sets of 2001, and very much reminds me of the Adventurers Desert sets. 1 Quote The Return Review All Bionicle Legacies Stories Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aurua2020 Posted February 17, 2017 That Rahi is BEAUTIFUL! I love it. The whole thing is really cool. Love the doorway. 1 Quote <click here to join! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Distorted Posted February 19, 2017 (edited) Thanks everyone for the kind comments! Do you think you could post instructions? This is seriously amazing, and I want to make my own! I'm thinking about building a digital copy in LDD or Stud.io and sharing the file in the near future - but in the meantime, here's a quick breakdown of the Tarakava's build. not really a fan of that nokama but the gali nails the weird lanky mata aesthetic, and of course that tarakava is adorable Thanks Chro. It's weird; some people think Gali sucks, some people think Nokama sucks. For what it's worth, Nokama was kind of an afterthought (as was the Tarakava) and I'd like to redesign her so she matches the scale/style of Gali more closely. This right here is absolutely fantastical. I'd buy this thing in a heartbeat were it an actual product. Now I'd love to see you create a similar thing for all six elements (do stone first!). That's actually not a bad idea - I'm not sure if I could pull it off, though. We'll see! I think this is really cool. I'm interested in the Tarakava build, specifically how to build it! The entire model is fairly reminiscent of the system sets of 2001, and very much reminds me of the Adventurers Desert sets. I've posted a breakdown of the Tarakava build - there's a link above. I'd love to see someone build a Sand Tarakava using my design. It's interesting that it reminds you of the Adventurers sets - I vaguely remember seeing them in catalogs as a kid. I think the Atlantis theme might have been a closer influence though! Edited February 19, 2017 by Disty says hi Quote bonkle choons for your ears Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shadow Destroyer Posted March 7, 2017 I've never been the biggest fan of system, (which is probably why I turned to Bionicle in the first place,) but this is seriously awesome. It's an awesome hybrid of the two. Nice work! 1 Quote Thank you to the Dark Beings Banner and Avatar Shop for the banner!

Kamen Rider Hakura Posted March 8, 2017 That System Tarakava is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. And I love the Jayko visor for Nokama's mask. Gali looks pretty solid too.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted March 8, 2017 The main system bulk certainly looks like it could come from an actual set, albeit a rather plain one. I'm not so sure about the Tarakava, although its construction is quite inventive. 1 Quote It is not for us to decide the fate of angels.

Aznat the Defender Posted March 9, 2017 Amazing! They really missed out on an amazing opportunity by not releasing more than what we got in 2005-07!Maybe a new Bionicle line would be more successful with a concept like that! 2 Quote the statement below is truethe statement above is a lie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
