I have been working on a re-imagining of the world of Bionicle for quite some time, and for BIO day, its time for the first fruit of my labor. The Chirox Codex! Featuring over 100 of my re-imagined Rahi, I hope you all enjoy!

Kyro

Everyone has that one character. Maybe they are a little OP. Maybe they are a little silly. But they are yours. Ever since I first created him back in 2008, he has continually evolved over the years. He is the character I have rebuilt and refined the most over they years. Shall we take a trip down memory lane?

Kyro of days gone by The oldest version of Kyro I could find, this is a video from 2009, back when he was still named Kirop and had a bizarre cat-in-the-hat posse of smaller minions. I was apparently color-blind back then.

Oh god, don't click this one Did you know I made sprite comics back in the day? Yeah, he was in those.

Kyro, circa 2014 My skills are certainly improving, but the color scheme is still a mess. At least I dropped the lime green.

This Newest Kyro (Album) While there are plenty of other iterations I could share, I am exceptionally proud of this newest version. This version has many of his techniques inspired by the style I've been developing in my digital MOCs.

While not as intelligent as other social Rahi, the Nui-Jaga come in a variety of colors, using their abilities to help each other survive and find food. Generally, each colony of Nui-Jaga is led by a Yellow, with 1-3 of each of the other colors.

What timing huh? I was planning to start on my re-imagined Nui-Jaga right when the challenge was announced. I was originally planning to make Blue, Purple, and Yellow variants, but I figured, why not do the whole rainbow?

Your incident report seems to be a little at-odds with canon-

Yeah, I probably should have clarified. The incident report is part of the Re-Imagining of the story-line I'm working on. Glad to hear you like it though!

Not my cup of tea, but the sets certainly look pretty good if you are a fan.

The minifigs seem really ugly though. The characters were a heck of a lot cuter without limbs.

Wow! These are awesome! Don't have time to put in depth thoughts right now, but I did notice something odd. If any of you are technic fans, correct me, but in 2016, are they changing the color of 3 length axles to yellow??? Red and blue pins can be annoying enough, but yellow 3 axles???

Actually, we did. The Kanohi Nuva/Krana-kal packs could also contain silver versions of the nuva masks, representing the power drained version. I have a silver kanohi miru.

We unfortunately won't be getting animations again. Instead we are getting a netflix series, which, as far as we know, will be 3D animated.

Am I the only one who thinks there shouldn't be any silver on Tahu's mask? It just looks out of place, competes for attention alongside his torso piece and thigh armor while also breaking his color scheme. On a side note, I'm kind of peeved that Kopaka uses only one shell type with Dark Blue in his design, why can't Lego just mold more shells for him in Earth Blue instead of wasting yet another opportunity to introduce shells in more colors?

 

I also can't wait for more info to be revealed on the other sets! Maybe we'll get some questionable leg designs on Lewa, dark tan on Pohatu, a gappy chest for Onua or even more info on the creatures! So far, we've seen a phoenix for Tahu, maybe we'll get these creatures for their respective toa:

You are very subtle.

Considering that Tahu got a pheonix, I' kinda dissapointed that the other toa won't be getting similerly mythical creatures, like a yeti for Kopaka, or a sea serpent for Gali, or a treant for Lewa.

I offer to trade nescent one of my protectors of stone for a protector of earth.

I search for skull grinder, Ekimu, and Loss

I almost feel like this is symbolic of how Lego has been treating Bionicle this year.

Too mean?

I accept Rylinth's offer and search for LOSS, Skull slicer, and Skull basher

I personally loved it. It was a great cliffhanger.

Although, there is a plot point that seems to have been forgotten, or dropped. Back when Imber and Mieli were fighting Anguis, something odd happened that allowed them to amplify and unite their powers to create a massive whirlpool able to break the borer's arm. It seemed to be a Novus exclusive ability. Was is forgotten, or is it going to play a role later?

 

But that hasn't happened, all of the pieces we've seen are not really specialised, you can use them with any set.

Hate to be the party pooper, but we haven't seen these pieces yet...

 

Um, we HAVE seen several of the new pieces in the Lego mag spread. The new torso piece is pretty obscured, but the new armor and add-on are clearly visable on Tahu's legs, and all three fellows clearly have some special stuff in their torsos.

I look for Skull scorpio, Lewa, and Loss

I accept fishers offer of one pohatu for a gali.

I look for Protector of earth, Lewa, and Loss

What the heck is that thing attached to Umarak's sword? At a glance it looks like a stud launcher, but it seems to be flat. What the heck is it? And why is Umarak's bow not in this picture? They even mention it in his description.

I accept FF's offer, and go for LOSS, protector of earth, and gali.

I guess skull basher?

Loss,

Protector of Water,

Gali.

It was indeed in the first adventures book, but I remember it being retconned at some point due to the 2010 story.

When I was a kid, I just thought Takua was blue cause really hot fire is blue.

My entry was disqualified for not meeting the system/technic ratio requirement. Am I allowed to build and enter a different Moc, or am I disqualifed?

Masks from 2003 and later are made from a softer plastic than the mata and nuva masks, so if you paint them, cracks can form in the paint due to bending.
