The 1st Shadow Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) Dear LEGO, What do you get when you combine Pohatu: Master of Stone with the Protector of Stone? We dunno. Well, after some quick tinkering, I found that you can, in fact, actually do a combiner model with the figures rather than hand the Toa their respective Protector's weapons. See what I mean? Look at him, standing there so statuesque... Here's a close-up of his chest construction. Oh, and now he wants to take to the skies! I believe I can fly! Oh, fine. We'll give him the Golden Mask... Well, there you have it! A real combiner model! Sincerely, ~The 1st Shadow~ -------------------------- I threw this together, and decided that, while not too much different from the set, it still is more of a combiner than those power-ups. the reason I used the Protector Mask was because I felt it looked better than the other two. Here, have a gallery. Comments? Criticism? Cookies? Edited January 26, 2015 by ~T1S~ 5 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~
Petersheikah Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Simple, but very clever. I love it! I'll do this combination as soon I'll get my Protector. Quote My MOCPages Profile
Dallior Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 This is a great combiner model, Shadow! I like how you used the Kaboomerangs as wings and added on to the weapon. 10/10. Have a cookie.

Nescent Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 The wings are very cool, I imagine there are some cool poses to be had with the fold-ability of the boomerangs. The weapon just looks like PoS+the dagger, not very interesting but it looks good nonetheless. Quote

Petewa Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I like it, Goodt Joeb* I also agree with the Protector mask, it does seem to fit in better. *If ever seen, it is intended as a stamp of approval, of sorts. Edited January 26, 2015 by Petewa Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure

The 1st Shadow Posted January 26, 2015 Author Posted January 26, 2015 Very nice work, So why no picture of leftover parts... Are they any leftover parts?There were a few parts. PoS' feet, head and two of the short limbs, for example, and Pohatu's black arm bones. Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~
Prowl Nightwolf Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 Ah, so not a complete combiner but one that looks good just the same. Guess there is still room for improvement. Not sure about the extra head though. That may be strange to see.

Fsnorglepuff Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 This is great, looks better than either of the original sets. Quote Toa Gali Nuva
Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted January 27, 2015 Posted January 27, 2015 10/10 stones, this combiner rocks. I think we took good combiners for granite back during the run of G1. This MOC is an oasis in a desert of lazily-constructed "official" combiners. (Gali seas what I did there.) 1 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Pretty neat. It's simple, but works really well. The torso design in itself shows a lot of creativity. These should have been the Protector-Toa combos. xD -NotS Quote
Regitnui Posted January 28, 2015 Posted January 28, 2015 Ill admit, I was irrationally disappointed that this didn't reference my SS about the elemental guardians... In any case, nice job. The Boomerang wings look a little forced, and the Protector mask looks a little small on a Toa-sized body. Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...
The 1st Shadow Posted January 28, 2015 Author Posted January 28, 2015 Thanks for the feedback, guys! Ill admit, I was irrationally disappointed that this didn't reference my SS about the elemental guardians... In any case, nice job. The Boomerang wings look a little forced, and the Protector mask looks a little small on a Toa-sized body.Short story? I might like to read it. Yeah, I wasn't really sure about the wings. I wanted to do something with the boomerangs, and I needed a way to use those empty balljoints, so that happened. Does it really? I keep thinking the Mask of Stone looks kinda small.

However, I'm not shore about that hidden Gali pun. 1 Quote I got Monster Hunter World on PS4, add me at bmrjw2 if you want Also I play FFXIV, my main is Anastasia Willow on Exodus but I've got characters on every NA datacenter.
Sassy Dalmation Posted January 30, 2015 Posted January 30, 2015 (edited) It looks like it would be a combiner in Mask of Creation. All in all, really great moc, love the aditional armor.

Dallior Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 I'm totally making a Guardian of Jungle now.How did you attach the two torsos? Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff? Let's make that a thing again." -Kazi the Matoran
The 1st Shadow Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 (edited) I'm totally making a Guardian of Jungle now.Awesome! Also, seeing as I now have the PoF and Onua, I might just make Earth and Fire, as well. EDIT: Oh, yeah, the torsos were attached by the black pins in the Protector's torso armor. I removed the grey 3-length liftarm with the ball joint in the middle.

Dallior Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 OH ok. I'll show you some pictures when it's complete and after I post pics of my Baby Jungle Protector. I just made the Guardian of Jungle... AND IT IS GLORIOUS!!! I'll post them on another forum. Quote "Remember when the comics forum had a lot of good stuff? Let's make that a thing again." -Kazi the Matoran
The 1st Shadow Posted February 9, 2015 Author Posted February 9, 2015 Alright! I'll be sure to check them out. Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~
Gremlin Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Boomerangs as wings? Very good use! Neat build. Quote
