Flickr The ancient deity Ekimu, revered by the Matoran as their creator, though his name has long been lost to history, and the Matoran know him only by his title. For countless millennia Ekimu remained withdrawn from the dimensions of mortal perception, invisibly guiding the universe. When the treachery of Makuta cast him into slumber, and later into death, only the energies of the Mask of Life could reach him in his distant abode. With his resurrection by the Toa Mahri and subsequent awakening by the Toa Nuva, Ekimu has returned in splendor to aright his mistakes. Wielding the very powers of Creation, he prepares to strike down Makuta once and for all in the ultimate duel... There have been a lot of Gen 1 characters in Gen 2 style, but what about the reverse? In fitting with the theme of BBCC 73, Ekimu uses only four pieces from Hero Factory / Bionicle Gen 2: the mask, a piece of unity, and the two HF feet; and I'd consider the former two to be about as detailed as Gen 1 pieces anyway. I also made sure to use some of the most characteristically large and over-detailed Gen 1 pieces, such as the Olmak (everyone's favorite mask amirite?). The above intro is also basically my headcanon of how Bionicle Gen 1 ended. No Bara Magna, no giant robots.

Gallery Among the Northern Continent's most valued warriors is Jordrok, Toa of Fire. He is the solemn defender of that land and its rightful inhabitants, on every scale - from defending Matoran from unruly Rahi to commanding an army. Long ago he failed, but now any force he commands surely rank among the universe's most fearsome, in no small part for his grim mastery of the Tryna. My entry in the official BBC Contest #73. I admit, I wasn't very enthusiastic about this contest's theme at first, but it was actually a lot of fun when I got started on it. An interesting challenge, and maybe a little nostalgic. So anyways here you go; looking forward to hearing what you think!
