  1. I'm sure you can figure most of it out from the internal pictures given. I'd rather not take it all apart, for fear of not getting it back together perfectly (The claws are rather complicate inside). But if you need any help, just post here and I'll give you the pictures you need.
  2. This is such a great idea, and I love how you built all of them using just pieces from the 2015 sets. It reminds me of many of the 2001 Toa/Turaga Combiners.
  3. Like I said, I didn't intend for this be a 2015 thing, merely revamps of the original sets, with aesthetics in mind instead of functionality. Unfortunately, with the current leg design, there really isn't any way I can get power functions to work (assuming I could even get it to fit). Incidentally, I added an internal photo at the end of the original post, for those of you who are interested!
  4. It does not. For all my Revamps, I ditched the functions in favor of trying to create them with better aesthetic design in mind.
  5. Although this was the final Rahi in the set, it was actually the first I began work on, and it's completion sparked a desire in me to make the other four. Please upvote and scream comment. *Screaming* But wait...there's more. Next week, you guys will get to see some shots with all five of my Rahi Revamps battling the Toa, plus a bonus that you won't wanna miss. By chance could this bonus be the Rahi-Nui? There is only a description on the wiki, I'd love to see one done tastefully based on that. I suppose I could try a Rahi Nui using all the pieces from these, but the bonus is actually something else.

  7. I've thought about it, but I wanna finish off some other MOCs I've been itching to make first. Thank you for the praise. Also, you'll be seeing a group shot --with an added bonus-- next week.
  8. The Mask of Possibilities is way too intricate for me right now. Besides, it looks a lot more like a Transformer face than it does a Kanohi, to me... Even if you think it does, I'm sure people would still be willing to buy it (Me, namely ). You should give it a shot. I've got a Nikila MOC that just doesn't look right with any other mask, and I'd be happy to give you credit if you were to make me one. I'll pay for it, of course.
  9. Bulls aren't predators, but the Kane-Ra most certainly is. I've chosen to stick with black mainly because all my other MOCs in the series have black plus a secondary color, with no gray. I tried white teeth and it didn't look quite right. EDIT: As I've stated, I won't be doing a Muaka MOC. Mainly because of it's similarity to the Kane-Ra. I chose to only do one or the other, and ended up going with the Kane-Ra because I've seen so many Muaka MOCs already. It also fits with my series colorscheme (As you can see from my signature, just imagine there being a yellow and black Manas crab). I'll try some different things for the hooves. I did feel like they were a bit simplistic, but everyone I showed the MOC to before I posted said they looked fine. Guess not
  10. This...is...awesome. EDIT: Can you make me a mask of Possibilities?
  11. I'm back again with my second-to-last 2001 Revamp MOC. Just take a look at those teeth! Please upvote and comment! Front Back Top Angle Top Bottom New and Old Comparison Kane-Ra vs. Kopaka! The Battle Continues! The Wild Bull vs. The Master of Ice! Last up, though it was actually the first model I began work on, the Manas Revamp is on it's way. Stick around for it, you won't wanna miss The Monster.
  12. The mata feet as hands seem to be a complaint from a lot of people. I'm gonna try a few different things. Any suggestions?
  13. I have to agree with that. You did a very good job with this MOC. The color scheme is pretty good with the way you've layered the black, red, and gold. Were there not enough gold pieces to have a gold shoulder pad on the left shoulder? It seems a little weird to only have the one shoulder pad. Asymmetric design is something I actually quite like with the new 2015 sets, so I decided to throw a shoulder pad on just one side. It makes sense too, based off the way he's facing, it acts as another shield to protect him when he's firing his blaster.
  14. So, what do you do when you have two protectors of earth lying around, and a great desire to MOC? That's right, you make a Nui-Jaga revamp, because purple is back baby! You can recreate this MOC with 2 Protectors of Earth, and 2015 Onua. Still not sure what I think of the eyes, but with the parts I had, that's the best I could think of... Front Back Old and New Comparison My Classic Revamp and 2015 Revamp Comparison (Link to Classic Revamp in my sig!) Nui-Jaga: Lord of Skull Scorpions! Thoughts? Again, this was just a test to see what I could do with 2 Protectors of Earth and Onua.
  15. So, ever since I saw the 2015 Takua MOC, I've wanted to make a 2015 Jaller MOC. Jaller is the Captain of the Ta-Koto Guard, a team of defenders who protect the gates of Ta-Koto. This team is armed with elemental fire blasters and shields. Together, they battle the Skull Spiders while Tahu searches for his Golden Mask. Pictures link to larger ones on brickshelf. Please upvote and comment! The build replaces the original yellow with gold, as you can see. This is my first MOC using any CCBS bone parts. While I do like the articulation, I feel like it really limits the build. Incidentally, you can build this model with the Protector of Fire, Tahu, and Kopaka 2015 models.
  16. I really like this model. And Lehrak is right, it does look like Chappie. Only thing is the feet. I feel like they could use a green piece or two on each of them. BTW, How'd you pull off that light inside the torso? Lego Lights?
  17. I really had to push it to get purple parts, purple technic pieces are simply rare. I tried some different things on the tail, black Bionicle weapons are actually rarer than I thought. It wasn't until I was building this that really, 90% are silver. (I knew a lot were silver, just not quite that many ). However, what would you suggest I replace it with?
  18. We're back! After some revamping of the project, we have returned. Every cast member now owns a Studio Mic, meaning that the sound quality has improved yet again! This is where I will be posting the chapters, and where you can give your criticism regarding them! If you're interested in auditioning, check out this topic! A quick summary to explain what this is. I've always loved reading Bionicle books; in fact, I have a feeling most of you do. I've always wondered though; what would it be like if it were in the form of an audio-book, with somebody reading it out loud? Furthermore, what if all the characters were voiced by different people. What if, on top of all that, there was music added from various Bionicle media to help immerse you in the world of Bionicle? That, is what ANP aims to do. ANP, Audio-Narration-Project, began with the first book of Bionicle: Chronicles: Tale of the Toa. I hope that if all goes well for Chronicles, that we'll be able to go on to do Adventures, Legends, and the Bara Magna Saga. Chapter 1: January 11th
  19. Book 3 will be starting up again within the next week, thanks for your patience everyone!
  20. My trans-yellow barraki eyes arrived in the mail today, so I figured I mine as well post the Nui-Jaga today. If this is the first of my models that you've seen, I recommend you take a look at my Nui-Rama and Tarakava Revamps. This model was probably the most difficult to add to out of all of them, mainly because the Nui Jaga really is just a scorpion. Regardless of that, I tried my very best to give it a new spin, mainly in giving it a fully articulate tail and arms, as well as adding pincers to the claws. I really enjoyed making the pincers while still managing to keep the original masks. Working with purple was also difficult, and it meant a lot of bricklink orders to get enough purple mata hands. Please comment, and upvote if you like it! Front Back Top Bottom New and Old Comparison Nui-Jaga vs. Pohatu! The Battle Continues! The Great Scorpion vs. The Master of Stone! Next up is the Kane-Ra. I chose to do this instead of the Muaka for two reasons. First, it fits better with my set colorscheme (all the models have black, then secondary colors are lime, then purple, then blue, then red, and lastly, yellow). I also chose to do this because I feel as though the Muaka has gotten a lot more attention. And don't worry, you'll still get an iconic scene with Kane-Ra vs. Kopaka, taken from Tale of the Toa.
  21. It's interesting that soon after I posted my own '01 Rahi Revamps, I've seen several others pop up. While I do like the snake-like design, I feel as though this model has moved a little bit too far from the original, and isn't really recognizable as a Tarakava (save for the head). That being said, it is still quite amazing, just not very Tarakava-like, IMO.
  22. Nice build! It looks a bit like my own. A couple things bug me though (no pun intended ). I feel like the back should stick out a bit more. Although it doesn't need a stinger per say, it should protrude at least as far as the original model did. You should also ditch the yellow gears for black ones. Lastly, I feel like the wings should be tilted a bit more upward, away from the back, rather than downward, parallel with the back. EDIT: Just saw the tail in the extra photos. Ignore my first nitpick
  23. The model is actually the same size as the original (roughly), though it's more hunched over due to the upper body weight. I tried adding something to the arms, it didn't look quite right.
