The title says it all! Now, this isn't really a "best/worst" topic, but I think you can try to carefully say why you consider the selected team to be the best or worst in your opinion. Also, you're allowed to list a form of one team as your favorite, and a different form as your least favorite. Here's a sample of what that would look like: Dude says, "My favorite Toa team is the Toa Inika because of the 'tone' of the year they were in and they sported a revolutionary building system. But my least favorite is the Toa Mahri because they hardly expanded upon anything except for Kongu, who had an all-new torso." This is not my pick, however. My real favorite is the Toa Metru because of their setting, the character interactions, and Vakama! My least favorite, however, is the Toa Hordika for one reason, and one reason only: that left arm. By Mata Nui's lederhosen, those left arms are horrific compared to the right arms! You'll have to buy two of the same Hordika if you want better arms... That's really all. What about you?

This is one of my newer Toa, I decided to make him Toa Kumo, of Air and plantlife. He is my idea of a basic Toa in the Bionicle universe and he is just one of my favorite characters to play with. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g208/Mata-Nui/IMG_20140403_131552_zpsb4c6d9ab.jpg http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g208/Mata-Nui/IMG_20140403_131753_zps3ac5fa88.jpg

As the rusty Toa canister washes up on the shores of Metru Nui, lights from the canister begin blinking and a tiny alarm sounds before the lid of the canister explodes off into the ground, and biomechanical bones are scattered onto the beach of Le-Metru and a hand comes to life and grabs the limbs and joints of the bones assembling them all together where the bones all attach and form a tall being, and looks around with his dark eyes before spotting the Protodermic Kanohi Hau in the ground and he picks the mask up, and placing it on his face as it magnetically attaches and a surge of power runs through him as the grey toa soon changes to be a bright colorful green color and his eyes begin to glow a bright green hue from the eyeholes of his Hau. Toa Kumo is now awake. He looks around at the horizon of the endless silver sea with the two suns burning in the distance shining a brilliant golden light on the Toa as he takes in a deep breath and then exhales the air in his lungs, and begins to travel inward to one of the forests of Le-Wahi. The toa of air and plantlife makes his way towards the inner city of Le-Metru. His quest begins. http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g208/Mata-Nui/IMG_20140403_131552_zpsb4c6d9ab.jpg (Hello I am new to roleplaying here so I could use some help if you can offer it )

So a few days ago I saw this MOC by BZP member Click, and I loved everything about the abdomen section, and I wanted to use the technique myself. Maybe it is because he made a Lewa with it, but I was immediately inspired to build an Onua remake. So, Onua! I wanted Onua to have an almost industrial-punk look, as if his arms and legs are sort of construction-mech-ish. The original sets had pistons and other such items, and as useless as they would be in real life a lot of times, they helped really set the original aesthetic of the line. And Onua especially had a strong industrial look, so I did my best to work that in somehow. | | | | | Flickr gallery is also here for bigger versions of the exact same photos.

Front Side Back Unarmed Once a Bo-Matoran, Deiniki (day NEE kee) is now the Toa Nala of the Green and protector of Le-Koro on Nala Nui. He is at home in the jungles of Le-Wahi, swinging and leaping through the trees. While he might seem goofy and immature to those who don't know him, he is very brave and dedicated to his people. He wears a Great Mask of Sensory Aptitude, allowing him to enhance his five senses and sense of balance—very useful if he is in an unfamiliar part of the jungle or climbing through the canopy. I made the name Deiniki using Tolkien's Matoran Dictionary. Here's what the Deiniki entry would look like: deiniki = lit. "song of (a) high place", "song of (a) mountain top" (< deiniki < deika-inikhi, from deika "note, music" and inikhi "high-place; mountain-top". Variant forms: deikaniki, deikanki) Flickr set Brickshelf gallery (when public) Thanks for looking!

I have a query regarding the transformation of the Inika, and I doubt I'll get a simple answer for it. In fact if there isn't an answer, I wouldn't mind people's theories on the matter. Why did the lightning from the Red Star strike the Inika's canisters? As far as I'm aware, there hasn't been lightning from the Red Star except during that event. Why did it strike then? Was it programmed (that is, controlled, directed lightning, like elemental lightning or some beam of Toa Energy), or was it a random strike? Was it a malfunction? Was it a deliberate act? Could it just be the fact that the canisters were large metal objects in a storm? As a subsect question, why did the lightning transform the Inika? The Red Star is the navigation system for the MN robot, yes, and the place where people are 'reborn' after death [and where people are teleported from when it functions correctly]. Would the lightning have Life energy of sorts? Was it commanded by the Ignika? Does it have anything to do with destiny? -
Life and Light Powers and Masks, oh my!
Kopekemaster posted a topic in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
Well, I wrote this post once, then my Mac decided to go back a page and it deleted it all. But I've found in the past that when I've written something and it gets deleted, I'm able to write it better the second time. So here goes. It will probably still involve a lot of jumping around and an explosion of questions and ideas, but should be a little more organized. So, we know that if an Av-Matoran (specifically, Takua) puts on the Mask of Light, he/she becomes a Toa of Light. But isn't this a little unfair, since they would essentially only have one power? For example, other Toa have basically two powers: their elemental power, then their mask power. But for Toa of Light it is only one. True, Light is a more powerful/godlike power, but still. But this brings up something else, relating to another Legendary (EDIT: well I just looked it up and apparently the Mask of Light isn't Legendary, so I guess I'll ramble on more about that below.) Mask. Before I go further, though, I'm going to make up a Matoran prefix for Life. Let's go with "Li". If, supposing such things as Li-Matoran existed (which, if you think about it, is completely reasonable, since there are Av-Matoran), a Li-Matoran put on the Mask of Life, would they become a Toa of Life? (This, also, seems like a somewhat unfair thing with only being one power, though Life is an EXCEEDINGLY powerful and godlike power.) This would also suggest that Toa Mata Nui was, in fact, a Toa of Life. BUT I'm going to go even further into this rabbit hole of hypothetical stuff. Since there aren't such things as Matoran of Shielding, Matoran of Illusion, etc. (or none we have seen so far, anyway), this would somewhat suggest that you don't have to be of the power/element/whatever that your mask is. Which would mean that it didn't have to be an Av-Matoran that put on the Mask of Light. Sure, there's "the prophecy" and all, but I don't care about that. So, if it doesn't have to be an Av-Matoran to put on a Mask of Light, then that would also mean that it wouldn't have to be a Li-Matoran to put on the Mask of Life. So could basically anyone become a Toa of Light or a Toa of Life? And I'm not even going to get going on why Legendary/Great (in the case of the Mask of Light) Masks turn Matoran into Toa. Never mind. I lied. I'm going to talk about that now. Why do they do that? Could it be that the Masks themselves are so powerful that it basically overrides the need for a Toa stone? Or is it essentially a Toa stone fused with a Mask? Also, if, let's say, Takua took off the Mask of Life, would he shrink back down to a Matoran? Or would he remain a Toa? Could another Matoran take the Mask from him and also become a Toa? Also, could (since not having a Mask on is conducive to unconsciousness) a Toa who has taken his Mask off (such as the ill-inspired Takua from above) put on a powerless Mask? What would that do? I'm fairly certain, however, that they could put on a Great or Legendary Kanohi and would gain its powers. Could a Toa put on pretty much every Mask, and therefore gain almost every power? AND what is so special about the Mask of Light that it can turn Matoran into Toa? It is grouped with the Great Masks (which also implies that there are multiple of the Mask of Light), but the others (as far as I know) aren't able to do that. And Bonesiii, you'd better not make a gigantic post quoting and answering every single one of these questions. I've got my eye on you. ^sorta joking but only sorta -
Not the Matoran version of Reyna from my unfinished story "Matoran? Or Monster.", but rather the Toa version. I would tell you why she's a Toa, but, spoilers. Here's Reyna. I tried to go for a 100% female torso, but that's just not easily obtainable for me. It isn't that noticeable though. Oh, this is my 1-year MOCiversary MOC/1-year BZP anniversary MOC.

Well, after a large amount of inactivity, I present Toa Uhat. Front Side The armor is from a Power Miners set. Face He isn't really supposed to be wearing the mask of light. It is supposed to be a powerless version, sort of like the copper Huna. Notice the paint, I didin't personally do that but I thought it made the mask look worn and part of something commemorative. Toa Tool The center of the tool is, surprisingly, meant to be one of Tahu's swords in my story Uhat is in. Conan the Barbarian pose This shot is self explanatory.

I was inspired to go out into the snow today and take a picture of an Ice Toa in his natural environment: I built this guy about six years ago (as well as the rest of his team) and even wrote a short story around him (I was originally going to write an epic, and I built the Toa team central to it). Short story shorter: During an epic battle to save his land, after his other five Toa teammates have fallen, he releases a nova blast of ice, stopping the threat but being encased in a cocoon of ice. Now, millennia later, he has thawed (Captain America-style), only to have icy protrusions become a part of his armor, affirming his icy nature. The team of six I built is not his original team that perished, but a new team he has become a part of. More details to follow when I finally take decent pictures of all six. Is Koji a good name for a Toa? I seem to think so. -CF

A Toa of Light, turned to Shadow. Originally, Xiroc was an ordinary Av-Matoran in Karda Nui. When the Makuta invaded, however, he became a Toa, and was trained as a sniper. However, soon into the fight, he killed a Shadow Matoran, and was exiled from the forces. Enraged, he turned to Makuta - who was unaware that he killed a Shadow Matoran - gaining the element of shadow. He fought as a Makuta sniper in of Karda Nui, fighting the toa and seeking revenge on those who exiled him. That backstory was't great, I know. I must say, I believe this to be one of my best mocs. It will most likely be displayed at several of the remaining Lego conventions this year, including Brickfair VA. Sorry about the bad pics. Thanks for the mask, JMJ. Feedback appreciated.

So, taken advice from the last pic (link) and because others asked for it, here he is: Kopaka, Toa of Ice Comments and criticisms much appreciated Astris Janus

Well, here she is: Gali, Toa of Water Was mostly happy with how this turned out. First time drawing water, which was interesting and aggravating at times Just so you know, her armour is over her normal clothing... which is on top of a black body suit that comes out when her armour is activated... yeah, should have just gone with the body suit Anyway, C&C much appreciated Astris Janus

Guess who it is! When I found that mask on LDD, I thought to myself I had to do a revamp of the most iconic character from the Bionicle Universe. Here he is, ladies and gents, in all his pixelated glory. Epic Pose! Front Side Back Hope you guys like! C&C is more than welcome, as always! Stay tuned for more things till the end of January!

~LINKY~ E: This hasn't been brought up yet, but the black axles on the sides of his head are NOT his eyes. The light-blue V-socket is his head, and the Bohrok eyes are just greebles.

No real story for this guy, other than the fact that he is somehow Metalicus' nemesis and fell into a pool of protodermis with a rahkshi when he was a toa. ~LINK~

Part of a New-Years MOC dump. ~LINK~

Quick question: Which set is more canonically accurate, "Mata Nui" or "Toa Mata Nui"? They depict the same character which is Toa sized, but which is more accurate to what he's actually meant to look like? I guess because there are more depictions of the canister "Mata Nui" set, that's more canon, but I don't know.

Thoros, Toa of thorium: (Click the image to view the Mocpages gallery.) This is my first new MOC in quite some time. Another periodic elemental Toa, much like Iodes and Neorus. Regarding the color scheme, the silver represents pure thorium metal, the black represents thorium metal that has oxidized in air, and the white represents thorium oxide powder. C&C are appreciated.

Looks like Takanuva here was lost in that last hack, so here he is again! I do recall a comment a while before that saying something about the link being broken, so all the more reason to repost it. The linework was originally intended for the BrickFair T-shirt contest, but I couldn't resist coloring it. I think I'm going to forgo trying to set up another collection topic and just link to all of my artwork from somewhere on my profile...

So... hello anyone It's been two years since I started this project posting 'Kopaka TRON', I said I was working on Takanuva but it was never satisfied with it and eventually I scapped it. I was thinking of drawing a new version of it... Basically the idea was to represent how the Toa Nuva would look like if they entered the world of TRON (I made up a little story in which they have to enter Mata Nui's operative system to 'reboot' him). And here's the thumbnaaaaaail <--- Click me It's Lewa, flying over the city, maybe fleeing from some enemy I liked the idea of him being able to leave behind light ribbons* from his swords while flying. *those walls of light left behind by vehicles in TRON, reference. I hope I'll be able to make more of this, I really like this project. Who knows, maybe I'll manage to make more before 2015... The background is a thumbnail from the movie, I just made it more green. Lewa was made in pencil and coloured in Photoshop. *a 1900p wide version is available So, what do you think? I hope you like it, feel free to leave a comment

So it finally happened, I actually managed to somehow get myself a tablet. No longer am I slave to the mouse, I can now create art without the limits of clicking. And so, to celebrate, I went and used the heck out of it. After so a few hours of caffeine, dubstep mixes, and several sore necks, I got this: (Link; large file size) A quick pic of one of my BZPRPG characters, Zauk. A Toa of Lightning who lives in Ko-Koro as a trapper and hunter. Well, before he went out on a personal vendetta against Makuta and the Master of Shadow's followers. Which resulted in him going more or less insane. I suppose here he's leaving Ko-Koro, looking out into the world and being contemplative and stuff. Don't remember how long it took for me to make it, though it's completely digital with Photoshop. No line art whatsoever, though it's probably a bit obvious with the wonky proportions and the like. Really was an experiment, all of it. Woo tablets~

Welcome to Search For the Kraahkan comics! Let's get right into the comedy, shall we? SEASON ONE 01 An Unexpected Party 02 The Macguffin 03 A Matter of Time 04 Payback 05 To Pacify a Bohrok 06 But Seriously, Though 07 Team Building Exercise 08 Um... Okay... 09 Limited Power 10 It Really Is That Easy 11 West Side Story 12 That Just Happened NEW! 13 Oh Well NEW! Guest Star Application! As of 12/2/2013, I am now accepting guest stars! Since this is a mostly plot-driven comic, your character may stick around for multiple comics - depending on the needs of that particular story arc - and then might not be seen again; or for potential "permanent" guest stars (who will most likely be given main character status for "season two"), while you may not be in every comic, your character will be a consistent presence in the overall narrative. The only issue is part availability; since I'm a college student with a somewhat well-paying job, I can easily buy necessary masks and parts from BrickLink as needed, but your character may have to wait until the parts are acquired for an appearance. Just fill out this application with all the necessary information and I'll get to work on the MOC-ing! Name*: Primary color*: Secondary color (can be same as Primary color)*: Tertiary color, etc.: Body Type*: Titan / Rahi / Toa / Matoran Mask (if Titan, Toa, or Matoran)*: Personality: Combine types?: Yes / No If yes, which types?: * = Required Guest Star List!

"There is a legend that a darkness came to our land many years ago to destroy our homes. A single Toa managed to defeat the darkness, but instead of destroying it for good, he offered the darkness a choice: continue to battle until one falls, or leave the land. Knowing it was defeated, the darkness left the land, but created this hourglass to count down its return." "That must have been a brave Toa." "It was a Toa of Light." "Then it must be a legend. There are no more Toa of Light, if there ever were." ------ In a faraway land, a long time ago, an Av-Matoran from the Time Slip became a Toa and swore to protect the people he loved. After proving his worth time and time again, a Makuta came to challenge him. He won, but at a terrible price. He became a Turaga, sacrificing his Toa power to defeat the Makuta and leaving his village vulnerable. This is Itarus, Toa of Light. Front Back Side Pose Articulation Pose Itarus was just a quick build inspired by my latest Flash Fiction Entry, The Sand Rises. I was just imagining the battle between light and darkness and decided I had to build a Toa of Light. I had pictured this massive and powerful-looking Toa who could crush a Makuta barehanded, but I realized I really don't have all that much Pearl Gold, so he ended up a little taller than most Av-Matoran. I was glad for the chance to use my black background for my lightbox, and I really like the effect it gives him. He really pops out. I also took the chance to give him some torso articulation, which I haven't done for a while. It works really well with that hockey foot on his chest. I'm very proud of the way I put the jewel in there. Overall he uses fourteen ball joints, with over half of them in his legs.
