robotfan Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Going back through the 2016 Lego catalog i noticed a different Version of the Umarak Combiner Model in the german version I can´t seem to find any relevant information on this on the Bionicle wikis... for comparison: the official Combiner Model on biosector01: https://biosector01.com/wiki/Set:71313%2B71314%2B71315%2B71316 vs the version in my catalog: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16LautHLIB3qIgZgKBxc8mXksCQieF3cw/view?usp=sharing Might try to build it someday since it seems more interesting than the official one (btw pls tell me if i post this to the wrong thread, haven´t done anything on this forum since 2014) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gzstg Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 don't know if its in the wrong place but it looks more interesting than the official one. for instance how does that head work. is it Umarak head with a best mask on it? and which one is it? as it looks like lava beasts mask but I am not quite sure. and that tail. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taria Pakari Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 I've never seen that official combiner before... those proportions are so off putting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daler99 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Oh yeah, I’ve seen this before somewhere. I didn’t realize it was actually printed and shipped in a German catalog , though. If I remember correctly, speculation at the time was that this was concept art for the actual combo model. If you look closely, you can see that the combo uses two of the trans-purple skull villain torso armors despite Quake Beast only including one. It kinda looks like they took Umarak and slapped parts of the beasts onto him. Quake Beast’s arm as a stinger, Storm Beast’s tail as a tail, Storm Beast’s hands as knee-guards, Lava Beast’s mask as a crown, Lava Beast’s blades as wings, etc. Quote ~Daler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how they would've accomplished that if it was made official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 I kind of prefer the official combiner model over the other one. Though I will say I don't recall ever seeing the catalog one before. It does look cool, but I like the build of the official one better overall. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Lenny7092 Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I would go with the official combiner model better because you can hardly fit Lava Beast’s mask over Umarak’s. That’s weird. Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
