Popular Post Tora Posted February 23, 2015 Popular Post Posted February 23, 2015 (edited) To celebrate the return of Bionicle LEGO Russia arranged an event for children to build a moc, and the winner of a moc contest could take it home. As an invited Bionicle expert, my time wasn't as much limited as the children's, so during the last day of this event (which is today) I built this chinese dragon in a couple of hours. It's made of the protectors' pieces only. The guys from LEGO were nice enough to let me take it home. http://m.imgur.com/a/UBxy2 New pictures: http://littletaggy.tumblr.com/post/112520601604/ Edited March 24, 2015 by Black Six 42 Quote
Rooster Nui Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 Whoa, that's pretty cool. I like the solid color scheme and the use of the red axle pieces, which actually give a bit of detail to the creation. There isn't much else I can say about this, but it's a pretty solid CCBS creation overall and it's definitely a nice thing to take home. 2 Quote

MrBT Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 (edited) This is truly very nice looking "Ice elemented" dragon, I really love the overall color scheme! And I couldn't have done this kinda leveled ccbs build, it's really over all really fascinating design! Edited February 24, 2015 by MrBT 1 Quote
Gamma-Ray Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Sounds like a fun event! This is a really nice Moc. But considering you were limited to protector parts only for the dragon makes it even better! 1 Quote
Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Oh this is really cool. Any chance of getting building instructions? I kind of want to make me one... I need to know what sets and how many first though. I may go for a more red/black version myself.... 1 Quote "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

And I couldn't have done this kinda leveled ccbs build, it's really over all really fascinating design!Thank you very much! I'm not really used to building with ccbs but now I understand that all my limitations were all due to the lack of pieces.Sounds like a fun event! This is a really nice Moc. But considering you were limited to protector parts only for the dragon makes it even better! Oh yes there were a lot of protectors, about 150 in total. Thank you, G-Ray! I'm your fan by the way Oh this is really cool. Any chance of getting building instructions? I kind of want to make me one... I need to know what sets and how many first though. I may go for a more red/black version myself....Maybe I'll make the instructions some day, but currently it's not possible. But here's the head instruction if you want http://m.imgur.com/a/vUHQa Quote
Ptah Posted February 25, 2015 Posted February 25, 2015 Impressive falls short. That is an awesome dragon. How many protector sets did it take? If ever try something like this I'll be sure to attribute your work. 1 Quote "Honor those the dragons heed, in thought and favor, word and deed" "Worlds are lost and worlds are saved, from those dangers dragons brave"

If ever try something like this I'll be sure to attribute your work.That's an interesting question. I tried to count and I think that there are at least pieces of 14 protectors of ice and water and some pieces from other protectors, like balljoints (there are 6 of them). Quote
tfg1_grimlock Posted February 27, 2015 Posted February 27, 2015 Love the tail more than anything the use of the layering armor for almost a scaled effect was nicely done. Good job. 1 Quote Please visit my Flickr at www.flickr.com/tfg1_grimlock for my photography and MOCs. Please visit my Instagram at www.instagram.com/tfg1_grimlock for other Lego Posts.
-Windrider- Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Excellent design, and there is a very nice balance between the white, the transparent blue, and the black.Seventeen upvotes can't be wrong! 2 Quote
Makuta Luroka Posted March 1, 2015 Posted March 1, 2015 Excellent design, and there is a very nice balance between the white, the white, and the gold.Seventeen upvotes can't be wrong!#sorrynotsorry In all seriousness, the model captures the form of a dragon perfectly, and the colors are very appealing. 2 Quote Ayden ❤️

Space: Ocean of Awe Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 Oh, that is beautiful. I love the colour, and how you made the head...and only with the pieces from (many) Protector(s) of Ice! =) Quote "Baby, in the final analyses, love is power. That's where the power's at." TumblrTwitterWattpad

Tora Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Thank you, guys! I also added some new pictures to the post. Quote
Saint-14 Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Suoer cool MOC! I love the usage of the new brain stalks, I've been trying to figure out how to use them but to no avail so far It's too bad this hasn't been shown on the front page yet! (Or if it has and I just missed ipip then ignore that last part) Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

Prowl Nightwolf Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Well the topic has 20 up-votes and a popular tag on the Opening post. So maybe it has a news story. 1 Quote "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...

McNugget Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 You got on the Front page!!! Well, I'm not sure why I'm surprised though, it is quite an amazing MOC, But the Front page says it only uses pieces from PoI, It uses some pieces from PoS Though. 2 Quote
Anapouri Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 This is amazing. I want to make one of my own! How many protectors did that take? Quote Self Moc: Critques are welcome!MOC: Okotian Chrome-Back (rahi)MOC: Okoto Cave-Crawler
joev14 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) As awesome as this is...are you certain it's just protector pieces? I mean, I'm looking at the head, where did you get the longer teeth? Only LOSS, Pohatu, and PoS have those pieces. And then there's the white protector hand, that's not even in this wave. That aside, this model is gorgeous even without taking that into account.

Only LOSS, Pohatu, and PoS have those pieces. And then there's the white protector hand, that's not even in this wave. That aside, this model is gorgeous even without taking that into account. You just answered your first question — the teeth exist in Protector of Stone, so there's no reason a model made from Protector pieces couldn't include them. As for the white Protector hand, you can see in the original batch of photos that the original model used a Tr. Light Blue one, and the white one was substituted after he brought the model home with him (among other changes). Anyway, I believe I've commented on this model someplace else, but it is truly a stellar design! It really shows what is possible even when working with a limited selection of the new BIONICLE parts. The face is extremely expressive, and the body feels very lifelike. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression)
Tora Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 Oh wow, I'm on the front page. It's been a while since the last time I got there. Thank you, guys. Dragon11603, there're pieces of multiple types of the protectors. Andrew might have mistyped =) Anapouri, http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/17639-okoto-dragon/?do=findComment&comment=877761 joev14, I added just a couple pieces that matched better for this dragon later. The original version (made only of the protectors) is available by clicking the first link. Aanchir, thanks Quote
Daler99 Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 Amazing!!!!! :D This inspires me to build things from protectors. Quote ~Daler
dviddy Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 When I saw this on Tumblr, I reblogged it faster than almost anything else I've reblogged. I love this. I'm a huge sucker for dragons as is, but even without the parts limitations, this is gorgeous. Brilliantly done! Quote
ToaDraco Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 This is an excellent moc and an excellent dragon! Not to mention impressive given the piece limitations. This should totally be an official model.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted March 25, 2015 Posted March 25, 2015 What a great event to celebrate Bionicle's return! That is a fantastic moc with a lot of detail and a consistent, beautiful colour palette. It's an incredible feat with the limited parts you had to your disposal, so huge props to you! -NotS Quote
Tora Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Daler99, DeeVee, ToaDraco, Nidhiki of the Shadows - thank you guys! I believe that piece limitations are not a real obstacle when you've got tons of them. Quote
king_of_the_rabbits Posted March 28, 2015 Posted March 28, 2015 Wow, that is really good. You won't see anything like that anywhere else, because no one has a dozen protectors of ice. Quote
Mr. Cup of Fail Posted April 16, 2015 Posted April 16, 2015 it looks great and the newest one is a lot better, but I find it a little funny that you didn't spam the MOC with a lot of Protector of ice mask Quote My Topics MOCs: Construct-a-Astronaut __________________________________________________ Find Me On Flickr Twitter Youtube
Tora Posted April 22, 2015 Author Posted April 22, 2015 it looks great and the newest one is a lot better, but I find it a little funny that you didn't spam the MOC with a lot of Protector of ice mask So i could what, bring home tons of protectors' masks? No, thanks. I'm not a big fan of this mask. Besides, I didn't know if they'd allow me to take this thing home anyway. Quote
