Petersheikah

Still working on her. Here's some updates, I made her taller and slimmer, especially her shoulders, made her legs bigger and also her neck longer.

Also made a bayonette to her Crossbow. Left that piece on the heater for about 10 minutes to make it malleable and then locked it in the technic piece.

She now has flippers!

Comparision.

That's a nice MOC! It really looks like Zaktan and also fits the 2015 theme, with lots of metallic pieces. Very nice, especially his torso which looks styled like the Protector's ones. The only thing that looks a little bit out of place is that gunmetal shoulder armor.

The chest is nicely shaped and compact, but the head of course is the highlight. It is a very original and creative design. It looks fierce, and the mandibles are a great touch. The "shields" are also a fantastic design choice, and greatly complement the rest of the MOC. Altogether a smooth and very aesthetic creation. The main flaws are, of course, its lack of functions. It can't roll into a ball, nor does it look like it can snap its head forward. Does a Krana fit in its head?

 

But despite the disappointing lack of functions, it still would be dangerous competition if you do enter it in the BBCC.

The images show that the head can be brought forward. Not sure if it's a function, though. I can clearly see a technic lever in the first pic, so I assume it's a function.

This would instantly win the contest. Too amazing to describe it. The only thing that bugs me a bit are these small feets, but again brillant MOC.

Umbra was one of my favourite sets back in G1. And I think this definetely looks like Umbra. The spear is brillant, it looks nice even when split in two blades and it also looks very 2015ish due to the fact that these flame pieces were spammed on Protectors. His shoulders and his torso are perfect, his feets are also very nice and actually look like the original ones. It's hard to find any problem with this MOC, is well built, he has the original color scheme and features lots of functions. The only thing that I don't quite like is the fact that he looks a bit bulky (even if many 2015 are very bulky and maybe its to make him modern) I think you could make his legs/arms a longer. Still amazing MOC, though, good luck for the contest!

 

These claws.... they look amazing! Very great job, also nice color scheme, it looks very nice with these silver parts in it. My only complain is that chesplate, which is Yellow and Dark Red, while the rest of the MOC is Yellow and Mata Red. That's not important though, very nice MOC. It feels like you were able to use these pieces in the best way, great work.

 

Edit: Also that Gear Function is very cool, glad to see you were able to implement that.

I wish I could fit the chest plate better, but even if it clashes a bit with the colors I think it's imperative to keep it similar to the original.

 

Using the Mini Stud Gun instead of the Thornax Launcher is a great idea and help making Malum more to the G2 bionicle (plus it works with the life counter).

The claws look good and do look like his claws and I find it odd that you use the Fire Protector mask instead of his original helmet like Gelu. But there are two things I really don't like about G2 Malum, the color scheme I think would be a lot better if there was some bright light orange on the legs and arms and the dark red on the chest armor really bugs my eyes (like Kopaka with the Silver BA body armor).

Thanks for the feedback! There is no orange on the legs because that was part of the original set's design: darker towards the bottom, orange along the top, making him look like a flame. I hoped the silver "boots" would help even out the color scheme. I also don't own Malum's helmet, otherwise I might have used it instead.

 

I think I found a way to put ol' masks on newer heads

Cool, I don't see the point though...why not just use the old heads?

 

Different attachment I guess... 2010 Heads look horrible and i't always nice to see a different way to create something. Now I'm curious though, how do you do that?

Yes!!! Someone finally did it! Great job, they look amazong and they keep their original look and proportions. Tuma's mask is great on Nidhiki, my only complain are these incredibly slim and long arms. Krekka is awesome too, especially the head. You were able to recreate the old feel of Krekka, being massive and bulky, while making him in a new style. I think that some more Dari Blue could have helped a lot though. Nice job, good luck with the contest!

 

 

I like the look up this update, it captures Gorast well. The usage of four of the same hands adds consistency, unlike the old version, and the torso build is unique. Very nice entry, good luck in this contest!

Thanks! Good luck to you as well!

 

 

where did the Light green Nuva armor come from?

I might be wrong, but I do believe its from one of the exo-force sets.

 

This seems to be pretty much on the money. commendable work

Right on the ball! This is the set: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?S=7705-1 I actually dont have the set, I just bought it from Bricklink to reach a store minimum. Oh and thanks for your comment!

Nice find!

This MOC is very impressive, it looks very cool, nice job.

Very nice work with that torso! He definetely looks like Tuma. Great job, especially the gear function which is impressive.

I think this is a great MOC, especially on that abdomen. Also great work with these gold pieces. My complaint is that it doesn't look like LOSS, which was just a giant spider. This is similar to Nidhiki (just in the concept, the build/appearence is totally different). It doesn't look like a LOSS rebuild, looks like a different humanoid character. That said, I really have to admit: this MOC is very well build, great job.

Oh Dume... Or is it Makuta? This is looking really good. I like the ingenuity for his tribal cape. You have done a good job of capturing the character. The custom Gearbox is a nice touch as is the stabilizing gears on the back. You've hidden the actual mechanism almost as if it is internal structure or organs.

Interesting design. It definitely feels nice and modern despite using some classic parts. Part of me wonders if BIONICLE Stars feet would look better than the basic hero feet — they do exist in both bright red and silver metallic. But it's a nice design either way!

Thank you for the nice feedback! I actually decided to use CCBS build to make it more similar to G2 sets, also these stars pieces don't allow any bend of the knees/elbows and limit poseability. I considered using different pieces, but then it would have been off-topic with the contest, which mainly involves the use of CCBS. It was really hard to not make that Gearbox look too complicated and technic, and I'm glad I was able to make a custom one and hidden it quite nicely.

Edit: I actually misread your post ._."

I didn't use these Stars feets because I don't have any.. I've got a couple of black ones but I already used one on my Matau rebuild. I agree that it would have looked better though.

1) Definetely more masks IN DIFFERENT COLORS (Blue Hau, Green Kakama etc. I won't use the G2 names, I'm used to the old ones)

2)More unique functions. Back in G1 Toas had very similar functions, while the villains where the ones with unique ones. Just look at Toa Metru vs Nidhiki and Krekka. And all these 2001 rahi.

3) Different gearbox/torso parts. Onua is great with his different torso, it'd be nice to have similar variations of the standard builds.

4)Moar of these parts. I have very few of them and I'd love to see more in these sets. They are great for MOCing. Also more Technic parts would be nice.

5) Obviously Rahi. We just have LOSS right now, it'd be awesome to see more.

6) Yes I know it won't happen, but I'd love to see Toa/Turaga Metru in this reboot. Loved Vakama, Nokama, Matau and their brothers so much ;__;

This MOC is AMAZING. Seriously, great job, I love it, especially the Torso, very cleverly constructed. Awesome MOC, maybe not that much of "2015 style" but still a great work.

Just posted (doubleposted in fact  ) my entry, Turaga Dume. Here's the link. http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/17377-bbc-69-turaga-dume/

Hello there! Here's my entry for the BBC Contest #69, Turaga Dume!

Entry pic:

I wanted to continue my Metru Nui Legacy, and I thought that making a MOC that could fit both my project and the 2015 style would have been great. I wanted to challenge myself to build a custom GearBox with a simple look, and I tried to make it as less complicated as I could. I also made him bulkier than the original, because 2015 Protectors are much more armored than the G1 Matorans and Turagas and I wanted to make it look as G2 as possible. I also gave him shoulder pads, just because lots of the new sets have shells to protect their shoulders. I tried to make him look new while keeping his old colors and design (especially the Movie version.) I also used a Hordika torso to make that silver cape/armor seen in the movie. Hope you'll like it!

Back:

Gear Function:

Placed there two additional gears to make the function less woobly. Spinning the dark grey piece will move the right arm, which carries a staff that also looks quite like the Protectors' ones.

Torso without the armor and the head:

Dynamic pose:

 

Also here's a pic of the Movie one for reference.

 

Hope you'll vote for me! 

 

 

Great job, especially on his body build! I'm a big fan of the original Mahri Mask, but I think this ones looks as great as the one in the set. Nice job on that sword too.

Amazing. I love how its shapes look "futuristic" while keeping his insectoid look. I also like the fact that you placed his "arms" under his torso, giving him a even more solid insect look. I especially love the construction of his torso, great job with that. Making his legs a little bit bulkier would have helped in my opinion. Many 2015 sets are heavily armored, and his legs look a little bit tiny and slim. Still, awesome job!

Working on my entry, Turaga Dume (Made him to fit both the new 2015 style and my Metru Nui Legacy revamping project) with his own custom gearbox. Hope I'll be able to post it tomorrow.

I really like the sleek new look! Reminds me of a Mega Man character almost.

I think he looks very fast and agile. A Toa of Lightning with a Kakama will be super fast! I'd rather not race this guy... he'd win in a flash.

 

 

I really like the sleek new look! Reminds me of a Mega Man character almost.

Yeah also reminded me of Megaman Character to me.

Good job I like the lanky nature of this build.

Thanks for all the nice words guys! Glad to see you like him!

This is a nice MOC. It is good to see a speed Toa who is not inherently brown or stone in nature... What is with Onua's golden mask of power? You'd think Pohatu's may fit better being that it is his mask you are wearing...

In my opinion the Lightning element fits the speed theme much better than the Stone one. A Thunder hits the ground extremely fast, while a rock just stays there without moving. I really don't know why I placed there that Pakari, just wanted a random final pic I guess... Maybe I'll think some sort of story and connection between Stardarth and that mask later.

These claws.... they look amazing! Very great job, also nice color scheme, it looks very nice with these silver parts in it. My only complain is that chesplate, which is Yellow and Dark Red, while the rest of the MOC is Yellow and Mata Red. That's not important though, very nice MOC. It feels like you were able to use these pieces in the best way, great work.

 

Edit: Also that Gear Function is very cool, glad to see you were able to implement that.

Hello there! I've been very busy in the past days, but I was able to find a little bit of time to post a revamp of one of my older creations, Zaakahn, Toa of Lightning, nicknamed "Stardarth" by his friends; in fact my self MOC. 

He was the deputy commander of the Toa Veela, protectors of Veela Nui on Aqua Magna. After the team was disbanded (there weren't any potential menaces on Veela Nui) he found an evil robot, Cyclops, with not that nice intentions. It was paid by a Makuta, Laftahn, to kill the Toa Veela, but when he discovered the advanced technology of the island he decided to take control of it and exploit the inhabitants to improve his tools and armors and become even stronger. Stardarth decided to ask for help to the Island's engineers, who made him a lightning powered suit that enanched his skills, strenght and speed.

Using this armor he was able to take down Cyclops, overcharging his suit and almost destroying himself too. He then was saved by his fellow Toas, who revived and reassembled him. He now has a light armor that allows him to become extremely fast and strike his enemies with his powerful fists. 

He's equipped with a Protosteel Shield, which protects him and deflects energy attacks. He lost the ability to absorb pure lightning, and his armor is also less durable than his former suit. However, this made him extremely quick, allowing him to avoid any attack, travel at extreme speeds and also pass through solid objects. When he overloads himself with lightning energy to run faster, he creates small thunders that strike his enemies if he comes close to them. He's also a very agile warrior with superior athletics skills and stealth experiences. He wears the Great Kanohi Kakama, the mask of speed.

His torso was a great fun to build. I tried to give him an aereodynamic look with these technic plates.

He has also many little daggers and kunais which he can launch with extreme speed and retake in very little time.

His shield makes him very resistent: his reflexes and speed allow him to parry almost anything they shoot him. The shield can also reflect any energetic attack which comes in contact with it.

Hope you enjoyed it!

 

Very cool upgrade! The incorporation of the Hordika weapons is a nice touch, and the bulk of the figure creates a more intimidating Toa

Thanks for the nice words! That was exactly my intention. I wanted to make him less "crazy guy" and more "skilled warrior"

Hello there! Today I want to post something different from my usual Metru rebuilds. About one year ago I started making some random MOCs, a couple of basic Bionicles, just their concept. Some time ago I started working on them, and yesterday I finally finished to improve them. 

 

I'll start with my personal favourite, Draghen.

Its first concept consisted in a Toa of Ice, possessed by antidermis that made him half black. He has split personality and he's a fearless warrior. He often fights ruthlessly and seems brutal, but he's a great Leades who always knows what to do. The mutation caused parts of his armor to become orange, while giving him increased resistance to both Light and Shadow elements. He's armored with his Toa Tool, the Ice Scythe, and lots of high tech ranged weapons, charged with Ice energy. He is a feared Toa because of his anger in battle, his experience in fighting and his Kanohi Kakama, the Mask of Speed.

I used Nex's armor piece just because of its colors. There are many HF pieces on this MOC.

Detail of his legs

His Double Barrel Ice cannon. It's a very versatile weapon, its devastating and incredibly accurate. I shoots Icy beams the pierce through the enemies' armors killing them almost istantly. It has a huge recoil and it's very slow, so it requires a lot of skill to be used. 

On the left side it has two pipes that release the energy created while shooting. 

Here is his Shoulder attached Gatling Gun. It's not charged with elements, and it's less powerful than the Double Barrel Cannon. However it's very effective at close range and requires less aiming; perfect to eliminate these targets that come too close.

Each weapon can be stored on his back. 

 

 

This is Lehvan. Her element is the Air, she can fly at high speeds and take down targets from the sky. She is weaker than her teammates, but she compensates that with her agility and her speed. She can also make exceptional weapons and charge them with her Kanohi Maks, that can canalize elemental energy into whatever object she wants. She is self-continent and often makes fun of her enemies, especially when it's hard to beat them, and she goes crazy when she can defeat them. She is equipped with a couple of Air Arpoons (her Toa Tools, can be also used as blades), a Rocket Lancher and obviously her wings.

Here is her Rocket Launcher. It shoots rockets at high speed that are almost impossible to avoid. It takes quite a while to charge a rocket with her elemental powers, though.

I belive I can fly!

Here is how I attached the Rocket Lancher and the wings.

If she's not flying, she can also hold it with her hands deactivating the "autopilot".

 

 

And last but not least, here's Cyclops 2.0!

About two year ago I made one of my favourite MOCs, a yellow robot with one eye. Some time later I decided to make another one, pretending the first to be its prototype.

Anyways, Cyclops 2.0 was supposed to be a powerful assassin made to serve the Dark Hunters, but, because of a disfunction, he became to grow faith in Mata Nui and wanted to help him. Even if he's programmed to be a terrifying assassin and make carnages, he's one of the Toas' best ally because of his innatural strenght, durability and complete insensibility of pain. Howeven, he is often unstable and becomes incredibly brutal and dangerous even for his own teammates. He's the strongest for sure, but due to the fact he's a robot, he hasn't got any Elemental Power (even if Lehvan tried to charge him, she failed because of his too complicated AI) and doesn't carry a Toa Tool. He's equipped with a dual barrel pistol, a huge blade, a laser gun and a small rocket launcher that pops out of his wrist.

He has a pistol with two barrels attached to his right hand. It's a deadly weapon, incredibly accurate at long range (even better when paired to his robot accuracy and sensors). It doesn't require any reloading (he's supposed to fight with more weapons in each hand) but it's charged through a tube attachet on the top of it. In the left hand he has a laser gun that shots continuous beams of overheated energy that burns his enemies.

Here is his rocket launcher. it shoots four rockets before needing ot be reloaded, however four additional rocket will be automatically put in the launcher whenever it draws back. 

Comparision with the original Cyclops. You can find some pics here: http://www.mocpages.com/moc.php/368305

 

Final Team pic

 

That's it for today, hope you enjoyed them!

 

 

I've been quietly following your project since you first posted the Bordahk revamp, and Matau is my favorite so far. It probably helps that green/black is one of my very favorite color schemes, and I'm also a sucker for arm=blades

 

There are only a couple things I'd suggest changing -- the upper arms might look better if you exchange the waist pieces for something sleeker, and I think the upside-down inika torso just looks a little odd. Adding a few more tiny white highlights would make their presence a little more cohesive.

 

Great overall

Yeah these pieces on his arms are quite a problem, they thend to fall of very often. I could try to cover these ball joints with some CCBS armor pieces, but I probably won't replace them, simply because I've got very few options that looks better. I'm running out of white, brown and dark green pieces (I'm full of lime and transparent green pieces though) and I've been searching on a piece that looked better for a while :\

Thank you, anyways, always appreciated!
