PhoenixFireBlaze Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 (edited) Takanuva: Master of Twilight & Toa Ignika: Master of Life Also this is based on the 2008 version of Takanuva. (Mistika) Images: Both Takanuva: Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Toa Ignika: Image 1 Image 2 Image 3 Image 4 Image 5 Image 6 These were some of my first titan sets. When I saw this contest I knew I had to make these. Even with limited parts I managed to make this! This was made from:All the 2015 toa Brain Attack Surge And some other sets I don't remember.

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 THEY ARE AMAZING. I love these MOCs, and they look like legitimate sets. One question- which one is your entry? 1 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One question- which one is your entry? I entered them both in as they were both sets released at around the same time. Also thank you.

Petewa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 They look good, my only grudge would be the fact that I just prefer Takanuva to be gold, Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFireBlaze Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 They look good, my only grudge would be the fact that I just prefer Takanuva to be gold,This is actually based on the Mistika version of Takanuva when he was partially drained of light. I didn't want to use his original form because I don't have his golden mask also because the original form seemed like a common choice for most people. Also, his "twilight' form seems more evil. And I like evil. Quote ~After they make Styrofoam, what do they ship it in?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might make one not for the contest later for fun. Quote ~After they make Styrofoam, what do they ship it in?~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petewa Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Well, the MOC itself is good, and-wait a second, that part appears to be from the Protector of Ice due to the fact that it was the only set to have that brick in white, Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nescent Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Great choices for remakes, though Takanuva's mask looks pretty big for his body. I like Toa Ignika a lot, your rendition of his vehicle is very cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also is the Stars mask smaller? I don't have it but I'm wondering if that could have been a better choice.

Dallior Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Wow, great job here! I had both of these sets when I was younger (putting together Takanuva at age 8 was a day-long, entire-family activity) and these certainly capture their essences! Best part HAS to be the flyboard. I love the trans-red "flame" shell in the exhaust pipe. 10/10 would Bonkle again 1 Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff?

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Man G1 masks were huge. They look oversized on these CCBS-based figures. Regardless, both are very sound figures. Takanuva's colours and weapons are perfect. Ignika's use of Lewa's base design works pretty well and I like the Keetorange Metru foot on his chest. The skyboard is amazing and uses the larger G2 pieces in an effective manner and it looks great all around. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixFireBlaze Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Thank you all for the good reviews. Man G1 masks were huge. They look oversized on these CCBS-based figures.

The skyboard is amazing and uses the larger G2 pieces in an effective manner and it looks great all around. -NotSThe masks being hugr might be because takanuva was a titan set so the mask had to be scaled up. That's my idea. The kerto foot was a solotion to the problem of there not being much keeto G2 parts.The skyboard's balance could have been improved though. Wow, great job here! I had both of these sets when I was younger (putting together Takanuva at age 8 was a day-long, entire-family activity) and these certainly capture their essences! Best part HAS to be the flyboard. I love the trans-red "flame" shell in the exhaust pipe. 10/10 would Bonkle againI got Takanuva when I was 8 as well. I built him all by myself though His parts ended up snapping a few months later for some unknown reason. The rxaust pipe could have been improved if a red bone was used instead of a black one. Which part? Also, I don't have any protectors. Takanuva's chestpiece, That part came with Kopaka. Great choices for remakes, though Takanuva's mask looks pretty big for his body. I like Toa Ignika a lot, your rendition of his vehicle is very cool. Yeah. Comparing the older masks to the 2015 ones they seem way bigger than them. Also his mask is half the height of his body. Also is the Stars mask smaller? I don't have it but I'm wondering if that could have been a better choice. Yeah the Stars mask is smaller, but I think the gunmetal that you chose looks better.I see. I'm thinking about improving these mocs after the contest is over.

Xan Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 These are both fantastic. I especially like Toa Ignika's board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cup of Fail Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 Takanuva looks really odd and not that good looking. The head is too big, it would look a lot better on a bigger size MOC and I don't like the mix of silver and pearl dark gray in my opinion, but I do like the staff. Toa Ignika is alright but it's seems hunchback and the chest armor is a bad part of the MOC that I really dislike, I think it would be a lot better if it was the HF 2.0 body armor. The Skyboard is great and I like it being mix with the HF and G2 bionicle parts.

Also the reason for the chestplate design on toa ignika is the fact that there was no keeto orange chestplate. I'll keep these suggestions in mind if I get more G2 parts.

Petersheikah Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 This is one of the best entries I've seen so far. Great job, they look G2ish without any doubt. I love how they resemble so well the original sets while having a moder build. That Goblin Board (forgot its name ಥ_ಥ) is very well built, great job. Good luck in the contest!

Well there are Bright Light Orange 2.0 body armor that came in Jetbug and Stringer 3.0 but you probably don't have them, but what about using a silver or block body armor?

IcarusBen Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I have the Keetorange chestplate. Too bad I don't have all that many other Keetorange parts, otherwise I'd be using them more often.

VBBN Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 (edited) This might actually be one of my favorite entries in the contest. I love how you've taken a character who was a smaller figure on a "vehicle" and a massive-sized character, and put them oth in perfect scale to one another. Both are perfectly reasonable as real-set concepts, and would fit perfectly in the G2 style. Well done!

At the time of building this my brother was using the only other silver chestpiece we had for his own creation that is why I had to use the foot at the time. I have the Keetorange chestplate. Too bad I don't have all that many other Keetorange parts, otherwise I'd be using them more often. I wish I had one T-T. Keeto orange is a nice color.

Both are perfectly reasonable as real-set concepts, and would fit perfectly in the G2 style. Well done! Thank you . I tried to make my sets as close to looking like sets that lego designed. With a resize of the heads and a little modification to the chestpiece on ignika I think these would look like legitimate sets.

Dallior Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I don't know what you guys are talking about with the masks being too big... if anything, it looks more chibi, and chibi is GOOD.

Gamma-Ray Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 These guys turned out cool! I like how well you were able to transfer their G1 aesthetics into a G2 style. I kinda wish that their blasters had been replaced with the new ones, but I totally see the reasons for keeping the midak blasters. Nice entries and good luck in the contest!

I didn't have the protector launchers at the time at making these. However, I didn't think they looked like midak launchers. They look more like cordak launchers than anything.I don't know what you guys are talking about with the masks being too big... if anything, it looks more chibi, and chibi is GOOD. Thanks. However, I wasn't really looking for a chibi style look. I actually agree with the fact that they are too big. I just don't know how I could have fixed it with my limited resources.
