Mate.397

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Toa-of-Speed-2015-Redux-531370587 *Somewhere in the dunes of the Okoto desert a tall figure was roaming the sands, at first sight one could confuse the figure with Pohatu the Master of Stone, but on a closer look it would become obvious it is not him. This was a female warrior, though her mask was quite similar to Pohatu's, those who saw her didn't recall a seventh Toa of such to arrive along with the rest. Though she did help out on occasions when the protectors needed some help her main mission seemed to be still unknown, though she did often ask about where can she find Pohatu, but for what reasons she never shared with the others.* Or it could be Master of Speed if we wanna go with the current way of naming Toa, but either works for me. Well Year of Rebirth spawns another of my older creations in an updated and far superior form. Small thing about Sonnax just for the fun of it I made her be a fangirl of Pohatu, though that is not part of her actual story, it's just a simple, goofy little thing. Plus since the current Pohatu is Mr. Deep edgy voice now, I'm sure her being a fangirl will only make her want him even more Though it'll be an awkward sight as she is 1.5x the size of Pohatu. http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Legs-531371177 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Arm-531371348 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Torso-531371491 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Back-531371703 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Size-531372179 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Sonnax-Staff-of-Speed-531374489 Edit: Okay seriously, 0 views?

I went with the artsy looking Icaria =D

Wish I could have posted a better MOC, but sadly those were posted just a few days before this was announced, I hate it when that happens x.x

I did a good chunk of them so far actually http://mate397.deviantart.com/

I will check for some if I have pieces to switch out

EDIT: Updated the looks by adding more blue to the revamp http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-531168677 While I was waiting (still am at the moment) for a few BrickLink orders to arrive so I can finish a few MOCs to 100% I built the revamp version of the Slizer/ThrowBot Ice/Ski. http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Legs-531168705 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Arm-531168773 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Back-531169196 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Torso-531169270 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Head-531169324 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Alternate-weapons-531169397 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Ice-Ski-Comparison-531169470

Odd, I'm gonna look into that, might have mistyped something. And thanks :3 It's not much of an alteration just the wings and the legs, I got the rest of the description fixed, something tends to do this from time to time, I have yet to figure out what.

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Silverbeak-Buzzard-528874983 Deep within the chambers of the Metru Nui Archive the clone of Vorka found a small stasis pod that was still active and held a specimen inside of it. The writing on it didn't say much just that it's an experiment of an avian splicing procedure. He put down the stasis pod and readied his dagger as he reached to open it, waking up the creature inside of it. The bird opened it's eyes and crawled out of the stasis pod, looking around curiously then seeing him. For a moment there was an awkward silence then the bird slowly walked closer to him, looking up, flapping it's wings until he lifted from the ground and was at the same height as he was. The clone extended his arm carefully and the bird landed on it making a happy chirp of sort. He didn't exactly understand the situation but finally having a friend was a change of pace at the very least.* http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Silverbeak-Buzzard-Wing-528875028 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Silverbeak-Buzzard-Back-528875098 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Silverbeak-Buzzard-Legs-528875181 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Silverbeak-Buzzard-Head-528875252 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Silverbeak-Buzzard-Size-528875315 Keeping with the whole idea of the Year of Rebirth I tweaked on my older MOC the Death Vulture giving more articulated legs and wings. Though the wings aren't perfect I still like them, true it didn't necessarily need CCBS bones to make it but I was short on the needed on ball joint, plus I had 4 just mixed into some of the black pieces so I gave them a good use. http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Death-Vulture-side-163599613

I tried to make his titan form look like it's merged with the bike, plus I had very little gold to use, but thanks :3

I'm honestly not that impressed with this week's picks, they're quite lame to say the least, and I'm pretty sure there were better ones to pick from.

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-528327198 I had this fella built for a few days now, I originally planned to put wheels on the feet but I couldn't find any, might alter the feet once I find a fitting sized pair. I went with Millennium's "Titan" form because I didn't want to take forever trying to make a transforming bike that can become his exo-suit to bulk up into titan form, but maybe one day I'll pull that off nicely. http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Back-528337174 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Head-528337008 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Torso-528330815 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Left-arm-528330565 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Legs-528330334 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Right-arm-528327304 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Millennium-Millennia-Comparison-528337320

That would have been really neat, though one has to wonder how huge those things would have been

It's based on the looks of a frill-necked lizard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frill-necked_lizard#/media/File:Chlamydosaurus_kingii.jpg

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Desert-Baras-525763138 *In the deserts of Okoto there lives a species of reptiles that re-hydrate through drinking the water out of cacti using their claw like hand to carve a hole into it then drinking it using it's tongue. The hunchback like looks suggests that the species stores the water and portioning it until a refill is needed. The species is usually docile and prefers to avoid the villagers but it is a territorial creature and can charge at those who trespass. These reptilian are also omnivores eating anything they can find in the desert.* This MOC is based on an older MOC that I made for the Bara Magna era called Baras Raptor, and since I already dubbed this year the year of rebirth thought I give the Baras a revamp. I personally like the head, I planned to add teeth but didn't work out in the end.

Was there a different poll uploaded to vote on? These aren't the numbers I recall from the final poll, and I still say there should have been only one Krika entry not 2

Thanks, luckily I still have some purple left that I can use for the mutant slizer Spark when I get around doing it

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Energy-Electricity-524898368 Yesterday I finished building this little guy and I would have posted it too, but it was late and was not in the mood of putting the background up and lights positioned, posing it etc. And now have 2 of each side from the Slizers, 2 good and 2 bad. I did try to make Rock/Granite a while back but I scrapped it and decided to do it later when a better idea comes to mind.

I tried but it was sticking out too much so I went with a build that fits a bit better

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-2015-Redux-523992915 Yesterday I had the thought of rebuilding this Slizer MOC and today I did reconstruct it, hope the rest will follow too Detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-Legs-523993037 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-Torso-523993331 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-Flamethrower-523993458 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-Throwing-arm-523993600 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-Back-523997931 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Fire-Torch-Size-523998000

those are the 3rd pair of limbs for extra support when digging Ahhh, okay. Thanks for clearing that up. Anytime :3

I admit it does feel a little crammed at the back, I tried to aim for those tribal shaman fan like clothing piece, but obviously I wanted to make it look like it's made of bones.

those are the 3rd pair of limbs for extra support when digging

I think the shots are good enough to be used to be replicated from picture, I do like this leg design though, fits an insectoid, plus silver vezon masks are armor on it =D

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Vorabax-523767646 *Somewhere in the caves of the Earth region there was a small tribe of sentient insects that over time developed a trade route with the Earth Tribe and whenever there was a trade convoy they always stopped there to rest and trade with the locals. The chieftain of this Tribe is Vorabax . The insects evolved to dig with their big clawed legs, which did make their other two limbs a bit smaller, they also had wings they could use if they went up to the ground though the wings are only for short glides. The species is also only composed of hermaphrodites a single gender member was a rare occurrence to happen* Thought I give him a little make over, which wasn't much just new legs, backstory and a bit better wings, though that might be changed later on. http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Vorabax-Legs-523770116 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Vorabax-Back-523770402 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Vorabax-Size-523770576

http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Hudu-and-Wudu-523758808 *In the ruins of the ancient city there was a shack, that look like it was part of the scenery rather than being a separate building, so only a well trained eye can see it. There two creatures lived, they moved in after the event happened where Makuta and Ekimu clashed, so the two thought they move in. The two skeletons were living in peace until the Lord of the Skull Spiders claimed it as his own, which forced them to strike a deal with him in order to stay safe. Wudu promised he'll resurrect a team of fallen warriors to combat the Toa in case the spider would fall in battle as a backup plan. Hudu gathered the ingredients for the ritual for Wudu then once they heard the death-scream of the giant spider they did the ritual to summon six fallen warriors to fight the Masters of Elements. * Since we got the leaks of the summer sets a while back, I had the idea of trying to be ahead of the curve and make skeleton related MOCs before the summer sets hit the stores, for this I did cannibalize my Witch Doctor set, true the set looked nice and all, but I honestly always had the feeling that I could put the parts for better use (still have no idea what am I going to do with those huge CCBS bone pieces though). I tried to make them look skeleton like as best as possible, while having some armor too, though I admit the ribs turned out a little short since I don't have bigger claw pieces to use, at least at the moment. Hudu detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Hudu-Big-arm-523760275 In his big hand he is carrying an enchanted skull, which he thinks it used to be his own http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Hudu-Back-523760624 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Hudu-Side-523761005 Wudu detail shots: http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Wudu-Front-523761209 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Wudu-Side-523761383 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Wudu-Back-523761561 http://mate397.deviantart.com/art/Wudu-Bone-Staff-523761754
