TommyG Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 I mean I was expecting it to get locked because of the reply but I'd be cool with it staying unlocked, not that I'm a mod for this forums or anything. It'd totally be nice to keep adding to this database.I've always been interested about what that Matoran Nui in the books was supposed to be like (the that the 2004 metruan matoran combined into)I don't think there was an official image of it released to fit this database. 1 Quote Pre-forums purge sig kept for historical purposes: Some cool Bionicles are the combiners. Example: Toa Jovan I've built a Krahka with 5 Toa Metru & Toa Norik, adding parts I needed to Norik.

Tarix819 Posted February 12, 2017 Share Posted February 12, 2017 (edited) It would be cool if you could add the instructions of all of the fan-made canonized sets into the database too, like the Catapult Scorpion and the Tahtorak - if they are available.

Wiriamu Posted June 28, 2017 Share Posted June 28, 2017 Weren't there also instructions made for the Mask Maker Makuta?Not that I've heard of; and let's face it, it's basically Ekimu with the blue parts swapped out for purple, the Mask of Control instead of the Mask of Creation, and a modified hammer design. Of course JtO featured a different breastplate but-like the Mask of Ultimate Power-it was never produced in physical form.

KYM Jacob Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 @Wazdakka I do plan on trying to create more contest winners and eventually more instructions. However, as should be evident, if instructions don't already exist, trying to recreate them isn't going to be easy. All the other contest winners that I do have built right now I believe are ones that already have instructions in some form available. Of ones I don't know if instructions (fanamade or otherwise) exist that I think I'll be ale to do: Airwatcher I'm pretty close (though the way he is built it is nest to impossible for him to stand under his own weight) Ravager (though he's pretty easy to get from just the DHG photo, Mimic (again, pretty easy to get from just the DHG photo) Silence (fairly easy from DHG) and Savage (there is one pat that's just visible on the back of him I can figure out how it fits on logically). Conjurer's creator took pretty good photos of his front on brickself, but unfortunately, none of the back. I'll likely get to him eventually and just have to speculate on building for that. I'm also slowly working towards building a Sand Tarakava. While I don't think i'll have a problem finishing once I get the parts, I can't see to find an actual set of instructions using the right parts online (correct me if I'm wrong). I'll hopefully be able to make a set of those once I'm done. Should be noted I'm not currently with my parts. I'll try to post things when I can, but don't expect it to be too quick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've finished the White Makuta but the torso was a bit unstable so I decided to build it again, I do have some angles from the pics of Brickfair. The only thing that needs to be finished is the torso. Also thanks @Wiariamu for posting that list of pieces, I'd definitely gonna help me with my JTO Makuta.

TommyG Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 I changed the sockets on my recreation of the "Acid Fly" to Vezok's as they may have matched the colour better than Thok's. Also, I've built some models of relevance to this database. The recently added "Prototype Bad Guy" (at the very bottom of the database) I built with attempted accurate construction and part colours, with help from this TTV post and member.I also built a recreation of the prototype screenshot Brakas with building reference from here.There were some 2006 model recreations as well (VNOG Enslaved Matoran, Lava Ape and Chute Serpent), but they used substitution for what resembled non-LEGO construction, so I'll link them here.

Planetperson Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Woah, so that's how the Brakas is supposed to be constructed. Until this very moment, I never realized it had a Toa Mata head. Judging from the sprite, I think the feet pieces are supposed to be different. They're this piece in brown, right?

TommyG Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hey, you might be right! Of course, I'm not sure if the red Brakas and the other Brakas image are identical construction wise, with the build I followed not necessarily being definitively accurate. Maybe a Toa head would fit more as their feet in the GBA screenshot, but they totally fit with the other image. If someone could try to figure out the other image's construction, that'd be great. Also, I got in contact with Schoolastic on Twitter; they don't have releaseable photos from their BIONICLE stuff, so maybe legal reasons with LEGO are permitting them and/or they've misplaced any from this thing they did years ago.https://twitter.com/ScholasticHelp/status/909838057381203969 Quote Pre-forums purge sig kept for historical purposes: Some cool Bionicles are the combiners.

It could potentially be worthwhile to try to contact one of the purchasers of the Sand Tarakava replicas, but I'm not sure that it would be right to distribute scans of those instructions without any response from Munty. That's a little unfortunate to hear- hopefully he's easier to reach via social media or PM than some of these DH folks. ...but I'm not sure that it would be right to distribute scans of those instructions without any response from Munty. Nah, I'd definitely agree with you there. As tough as it may be, can we work much off of the photos? I know that there are three or four photos of the original that a certain website founder has; unfortunately, they're pretty low-resolution.

TommyG Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Are the original models still out there? Who knows? Could we perhaps get in touch with someone who worked on it for some info? If they're anything like that GameHut YT channel with a bunch of old stuff left over from back in the day, we could be in luck! Quote Pre-forums purge sig kept for historical purposes: Some cool Bionicles are the combiners. Example: Toa Jovan I've built a Krahka with 5 Toa Metru & Toa Norik, adding parts I needed to Norik. It needs 11 blue pieces (the ones that have +&O ends) but there's only 10 in all the Toa Metru sets. Do I have to attach her launcher to her arm? Please PM me if you can help me. http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=309724 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYM Jacob Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I believe I've gotten Seeker mostly to the point I can photograph instructions for him. The only questions are I can't tell if the Toa Metru torso and waist are Metru brown or Metru red, and I can't tell if the shoulder armor is supposed to be Metru brown or gold. I can tell that they are not both Metru brown if one of them is, as they don't match. Color doesn't matter for me making instructions as I have spare of all these parts, but I'd rather try to get the instructions photographed with the correct parts. Conjurer's staff is the only part of him that I still need to work out (this is more of a finding time to do it issue I think). Was able to get the body and head for the Crystal Climber done, but the tail is mostly a jumbled mess so it's still a ways off. Made some progress on some of the other models as well, but just on certain parts so they are not ready for photographing yet. Figured out that the bright colored part on the Dark Hunter prototype is actually an inward facing teal Kanohi Kakama from the Tarakava. How it's attached, and why it was used that way to begin with is not something that makes sense to me, but I'll keep working on him. Guardian is... interesting. I found a way to build his head that does not contradict the official photograph, and actually makes him one of my favorites, as gives him an actual mouth that can open and close. However Shannara posted photos to their Brickself gallery of Guardian and all these photos of Guardian show significant modifications when compared to the one published in the Dark Hunter's guide. The way I built the head is pretty obviously wrong based off these Brickshelf photos, but at the same time, this can also be said about the arms and legs, even though these are accurate to the actual published photo of the contest winner. I can post a break down of this version if anyone is interested. Unfortunately, the body i'm still fairly clueless about, so that will still have to wait.

Makuta Luroka Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 The torso and waist in seeker look to be brown, making the shoulders gold Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYM Jacob Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 (edited) Finally finished the instructions for Seeker. https://imgur.com/a/8tEdJ Outside of trying to figure out the torso, he was actually relativity easy considering there is only one forward facing photo of him. I tried going with a different photography set up with a new camera. The photos looked better on my camera than on my computer, but I made the instruction's steps a bit more detailed so hopefully it should not be an issue.Will hopefully have better looking photographs for any future instructions.
