joev14 Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) "You know who I am, Toa of the Bohrok. You know me -- I am your queen. My sister Cahdok and I rule your thoughts, your actions. Now Mata Nui will be as it was in the Before-Time. All that does not belong will be removed -- beginning with you!"— Gahdok, Beware the BohrokYou thought you'd seen it all after I finished my Rahi Revamps? Guess again. This model uses many techniques that I just discovered while playing around with parts. Did you know that a bushing can fit inside a Bohrok body piece? It's a snug fit, but I'd call it legal! I also threw in a lot of Bohrok parts. Ever noticed how the two-toed Piraka foot looks a lot like a Bohrok shield? Also, before everyone starts asking, no, I'm sorry, I won't be posting Cahdok. I don't have the pieces at my disposal to build a second version of this model, and honestly, it would look like a clone set with a slightly different head. Please upvote and comment!

Chro Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 (edited) Too much black IMO, but I like the shaping, and appreciate the recreation of the function's shape. (Shape shape shape. Pick new words Chro.) Edited February 4, 2015 by Anung Un Rama 1 Quote save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Like I said on skype, too much black. It really overpowers the red more than it should. Beyond that, I really enjoy what you did with the character and how it looks.

Nescent Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 The colors are messy, and although I like the curvature/function of the neck, it looks skinny. I also don't think the feet work very well, they could use some more Technic for the Bohrok shields to fit in. I love the claws, and the face and torso are cool. Overall I don't think it is up to par with your other revamps, but it does look much more evil than the original. I hope you do a CCBS Bohrok revamp! And a Gukko bird, if you're still doing Rahi.

IcarusBen Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yeah... I don't like this moc. It's... um... I can't tell where anything is. The colors are messy and because there's so much black, I can't really see where anything is unless it's protruding away from the body.

I'll give it some work and post it again later I guess... In the meantime, I've got another MOC that I can guarantee will be well-received, coming next week!

ChromeLewa Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I concur with the others too much black and could stand to use some more bulk. Personaly I think the head looks more goofy than fierce or regal.

Munty Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Sorry to join the general concensus but this is not good... It looks so little like the Bahrag I wouldn't have even recognised it without the name in the title! I can't tell which limb is which let alone where they connect or how they articulate and those problems are severely compounded by the over abundance of black. Literally the only parts of this build I like are the white parts as they pop on an otherwise invisible model. Sorry Quote Check out my Bionicle store on Bricklink here!> > > Bionic Bricks < < < Let me know if you can help me find these last few collectibles!Also looking for WILD KRAATA and a VMKK Yo!!!

As I said, I'll give it a bit more work around the face, and then repost it at a later date.

Saint-14 Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I think it looks pretty cool. From a story-perspctive the black colours make sense. If you live underground why would you be colourful? You'd want to blend in to your surroundings. The red as an accent is pretty nice, too, since it would subtly differentiate the two queens from each other without being overpowering Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

-Windrider- Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 (edited) I guess just a reminder that all criticism should be constructive. While some posts may be more on the critical side, I don't see any real flagrant instances of bashing. Just please watch your wording - a reminder for future posters. Thanks in advance for keeping BBC a safe space for creativity. Edited February 10, 2015 by -Windrider- 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
