Makuta Miras Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I watched the animated film for Bionicle 2015 on Facebook. And then I wanted to make these. Ekimu:http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/EkimuAndMakuta/ekimu.png Makuta (Before Mask of Ultimate Power):http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/EkimuAndMakuta/pre-moup_makuta.png I tried to make the Mask Makers as close as possible to their appearances in the animated film, in an attempt to see what they might be like as sets. Comments and criticism are welcome! The masks were as close as I could get them, by the way. The Mask of Creation and the Mask of Control aren't in LDD yet (Obviously) so I compensated.

Click Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 From what I can tell in the video, they have the bulkier build of the Protectors, as seen on the protector of Earth and Fire. 1 Quote ~ 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...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Already on it eh? Haha, they look pretty good. Yeah, it seems like their body types weren't that of the Masters but instead that of the Protectors, so this is probably as close to one can get right now. Good job! -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderscoreChronix Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 I think Ekimu has a gold Hulk chestplate with blue printing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Ekimu and Makuta's builds seem to be based on the Fire Protector's build, but with some variations. Notably, instead of using the shoulder connection of that set, they use gearboxes akin to those of the Toa. The biggest issue with your version in terms of accuracy is the use of a larger torso beam—Ekimu and Makuta use the small 6x5 torso beam, with the chest armor attached to the "shoulders" and new shoulders built from the gearbox. But the biggest issue in terms of the overall look is the neck—it's way, way too long, probably in part because of the torso beam you chose.You also seem to be relying a little TOO heavily on the CCBS. The new sets feature Technic HEAVILY in their builds and weapons, and Ekimu and Makuta are no different. So, apart from the custom shoulders that the gearbox would allow for, the weapon you have is a lot bigger and clumsier than the simple Technic-based hammer that Ekimu uses in the animation.But it's a good first try! I'd encourage you to look at both the official pictures of the sets and photographs from New York Comic Con to get a better feel for what the new sets are like, to get a better idea of their similarities to Ekimu and Makuta. If you want to try incorporating a substitute for the gearbox, I have a Flickr album with lots of pictures of it, which should give you a good idea of its dimensions of the part and how it all fits together. I've also designed a pretty decent version of Ekimu on LDD myself, which I could also get screenshots of to share with you if you really want... but I'd much rather see you figure it out for yourself. Good luck! 3 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnderscoreChronix Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Oh and also, I think Ekimu's hammer has the pieces used on Iron Man's shoulder cannon.Piece: http://prntscr.com/4ym9upHammer: http://prntscr.com/4ymaca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Miras Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 (edited) Thanks for all of the comments everyone, especially Lyichir! I think Ekimu has a gold Hulk chestplate with blue printing.Ummm... He has the same chest as the Fire Protector. I don't really think that an Onua chestplate would fit on a Protector. Oh and also, I think Ekimu's hammer has the pieces used on Iron Man's shoulder cannon.Piece: http://prntscr.com/4ym9upHammer: http://prntscr.com/4ymacaNoted. And Lyichir, will this make you happy? http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Makuta-Miras/EkimuAndMakuta/ekimu2.png Ekimu, mark 2! Using a near-identical chest build to the Fire Protector, and a hammer with the cannon pieces. I may have gone a little overboard with the shoulder armour though...
