Kahi: Guardian Of Fire (+ Guardians Group Shot)


Recommended Posts

i definitely think the dark red adds to the look of tahu!

 

i'm not sure if it's your intention but all of these guardian builds are similar enough to the toa that i find it hard to consider them their own characters

 

(just FYI, kahi is the name of a certain bionicle fan.)

it's also a relatively generic combination of syllables

save not only their lives

Originally he was going to be named Firan, but, considering how uninspiring that sounded, I decided to translate "Fire" into various languages;

The one that stuck me out the most was the Maori translation: Ahi.

I'll admit that the K was added randomly, and that I did not know about it being the name of a Bionicle fan.

It's not the first time that I've gotten similar comments about them being separate from the Toa.

I wanted them to look different, but at the same time keep some similarities to the Masters (the idea was that the Guardians were ancient warriors of Okoto, predecessors to the Toa).

Still, thanks for the comment!

Pretty cool, torso feels a bit thin but otherwise great. Weapons look pretty good too. Not sure I like the way the colours have been distributed though, the way the trans orange is divided about feels wrong.

 

Thanks!

I wanted to make it look like the Trans. Orange represents his fire powers, hence why it's been used on his lower legs, weapons and hands; the mask was purely because I couldn't unsee him as Tahu with a normal Red or Gold mask.

These are great, I love the team dynamic between them all. Effective mix of old and new parts, too.

 

I've already commented on the MOC in your teaser, and you know I like it. I recommend everyone else check it out, too.
