As a child, I went through a lot of what I call "obsessions." The toys I played with, the books I read, the heroes I pretended to be when I played. Dinosaurs, big rigs, Superman, and many other things will always hold a place in my heart. Today, the only one which still holds is Bionicle. Not only do I frequently build MOCs, I play with them, staging my own little battles, creating stories in my head. I was incredibly excited for G2 when it came out, but it really didn't do much to fill the Bionicle-shaped hole that had been left after G1 ended. But, you know what? That's OK. G2 is its own story, with a beautiful (if somewhat shallow) world, and unique characters. now, in my opinion, G1 was better. The convoluted story has never really bothered me that much; I always like to create my own world, and my own story. Bionicle was one of the very best parts of my life, and it saddens me to think that we might never get it back. I can only count myself incredibly lucky that I existed at the same time as this amazing story, even if I was only old enough to really get into it after 2005.

I see that there's a very old (and very dead) Exo-Force RPG on the site. Would anybody be interested in a new Exo-Force RPG? Edit: Sorry about the revival, but I don't know how to delete a post.

Granted, but the printing is so thin, it rubs off of the material within an hour of putting on the shirt. I wish my Bionicle collection included more sets from before 2004.

Granted, but now everybody wants to do math and leaves all of the other useful professions to do so, collapsing the economy and infrastructure of the entire world! MUAHAHAHAHA! -Ahem-. I wish for a better camera.

Well, apparently as a child I was dyslexic: Pohatu => Potahu Hakann => Hankann I also tried pronouncing the "h" in Bohrok (turning it into Bo-Her-Ok). An interesting one that wasn't me was a childhood friend who pronounced "matoran" as "matter-ann." Is that not how its pronounced? That;s how they say it in MoL. It's Lay-wah and that is the hill I have chosen to die on. Loo-Wah or Lee-wah. I've never pronounced it Lay-Wah, though I can see why you would.

So, I had the inspiration to make a rahi-esque MOC this week, so I just sat myself down as soon as I had time and started building. On the whole, I'm pleased with it except for the lower legs, which I made lazily, for the sake of finishing the model. I would love suggestions on how to make better legs, by the way; I often find myself running out of inspiration and motivation when finishing a model, usually on legs or arms. So, without further ado, I present Sakorahk. https://i.imgur.com/wYc5ujB.jpg https://i.imgur.com/fmUit0C.jpg https://i.imgur.com/ctKzIwK.jpg https://i.imgur.com/A5SScmk.jpg https://i.imgur.com/WPFEAY6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/K3bSV1a.jpg Sorry about the low-quality images. I don't have a very good camera.

IC: Quark - Dormitory - Here at last! Quark sighed as he sat up. He bounced on the cot for a moment, admiring the fact that it was neither uncomfortable or comfortable; a perfectly bland, absolutely unremarkable bed. He was still in bed due to how late he had arrived at Corpus last night. Even Rahkshi needed a solid eight hours. He stood up, wincing as he almost scraped his spines on the low ceiling. Boy, they really designed for the minimum here, didn’t they? He stretched (careful not to punch the walls or ceiling by accident), letting out a massive yawn. He was careful to keep said yawn quiet, knowing that his Power Scream ability could give his neighbors a really nasty headache. He slung his bag across his body, his twin shortstaves clinking reassuringly against his waist as they swung from their straps. He wasn’t really hungry, and didn’t exactly know when his first class was, so he decided to do some reading. Quark danced to his own rhythm. Literally. Keeping the rhythm of a normal walk, he rotated his shoulders to the beat of imaginary music. At one point, he kicked off of one wall, leaping all the way across the hall before mirroring his earlier action, then kicked off of the ceiling, flipping down and (barely) landing on his feet. It was a miracle he hadn’t decapitated anybody. He entered the library, shutting the door behind him quietly. He scanned the room, then the shelves, quickly finding the section devoted to his favorite subject - natural sciences - and plopped down on the floor with a book on the mechanics of elemental powers. OOC: Quark open for interaction in the library. TL;DR: Quark is hyperactive and likes physics.

You, sir, are amazing. Thank you.

This is the third iteration of a pretty simple MOC I've had for a while now. Originally, it wasn't a Toa of Plasma, or a Toa at all, really, but I decided to rebuild it into Sudekh. In my opinion it turned out pretty well, at least for someone dealing with limited orange pieces (Why couldn't Toa of Plasma be an easier color to build with?). Front Back Side Front (Weapons Stowed) Back (Weapons Stowed) Fightin' Pose! I know this is no great build, but it's my favorite MOC that I have currently assembled.

Emotionally? Pohatu Mata (whod've thought). He was my very first Bionicle set, and one of my first LEGO sets to boot. He's also just my favorite character, plain and simple. I like his personality, his lines... I also liked the design of his G2 set, though I wish they put as many pieces into him as they did Tahu or Kopaka. I'm also a big fan of both Toa Jaller sets (I think Jaller Mahri was the better build, but the Inika was the first toa team that we had all six of, and besides, the Kanohi Calix just looked cool). I'm also a fan of the Vahki sets, especially Rorzakh. Structurally, my favorite had to be Toa Mata Nui (the Titan version).

Must alleviate depression! ... ... ... Apparently, is unable to deliver spine-crushing bear hugs of happiness through the internet. ... Dang.

I would actually agree with Supreme on how skinny the model appears. If that's what you're going for, that's cool, I guess. I do like the gold chestplate, though. Creates a neat contrast with the brown and tan. I think it might work a bit better if the silver parts were also gold, or if you replaced the gold with silver, but who am I to judge? I'm no Michelangelo.

I think this is the timeline you're talking about. Hope it's the right one.

I'm honestly not a huge fan of the hair either. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to make it any better (I never actually owned the original Roodaka set, and I essentially figured out how to make the head by the power of Google). Also, didn't mean for the mouth to appear bloody, that's supposed to be the "lip" piece, but other colors just looked awkward to me, considering the rest of the color scheme (I don't have any dark red/maroon stud pieces). Anyways, thanks for the feedback! I hope to do better with future builds.

A plot summary would actually be really nice for a n00b like me, if it's convenient for anybody. 653 pages of posts is a LOT. Anyways, character profiles. Name: Quark Variation: Power Scream Level: 2 Gender: Male. Gear: Nothing much, uses a pair of glorified metal sticks, Nightwing-style. Appearance: Similar height and proportions to most Rahkshi, maybe a little bit taller than average. He wears purple armor, more or less unmodified, with the exception of his right arm: his right bracer is white, instead of purple. His eyes are yellow. Personality: Spontaneous is the perfect word to describe Quark. Imagine an Le-Matoran stuffed in a Rahkshi body, and you'll get a good image of his personality. He has a tendency to jump around, pull practical jokes, make AWFUL puns, and generally be an (I hope) endearingly annoying goofball. That's not to say that he can't be serious; on the contrary, when it comes to matters like combat, Quark can become taciturn, even grim. He sometimes has a short temper. Bio: Nothing much to say here. Quark was spawned from a tank of distilled evil Makuta essence, etc. Though young, he's a pretty quick learner, and is already competent with his weapons of choice and has an excellent grasp of the Rahkshi language. He is also proficient at giving people headaches, as much with his jokes as with his power scream.
