Umm Durmán Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 (edited) Hey there folks, I would like to introduce a new game to the forum. If I remember correctly, there was an official contest a year ago about taking pictures that resemble Bionicle masks. Now I would like to expand on this concept and create a Bionicle lookalike game The rules are simple. Just find somebody or something that resembles a Bionicle character or set and post both the picture of the Bionicle set/character and the picture of its lookalike. There are no limits to this, the lookalikes can be people, animals, objects, cloud formations, whatever, it doesn't matter. The only thing that matters is having fun So I will start this thread with a picture of two Pohatus: Dogue de Bordeaux Pohatu Nuva I am a huge fan of dogs (I have two dogs at home, a 16 year old Dachshund and a 11 year old Golden Retriever) and if I were to ever have a Dogue de Bordeaux and it would be a male, I would surely give him the name Pohatu Edited July 9, 2016 by Umm Durmán 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghidora131 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I really don't see how this is Bionicle discussion. Yes, it refers to a Bionicle set, but it seems more like "I think this dog looks like Pohatu." This would much better fit Completely Off Topic.

CyclonatorZ Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 There is also precedent for this kind of blatant reference: 6 Quote I have slept for so long. My dreams have been dark ones.

What if it's the other way around, and the Miru was inspired by Stel's design? 2 Quote A big thank you to Toucan Sam for the Okotian name.

Pohaturon Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 The Vorcha from Mass Effect always reminded me of the Piraka. Those wide, toothy grins were the instant cause, and I always imagined the Piraka to speak the way the Vorcha do. Also, the heads of Bearded Dragons look eeirly similar to the head mold for the Creature sets from this year's summer wave. I always wanted to make a moc of out pet bearded dragon (whose name happens to be Puku) with Ketar's head. 3 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary.

Umm Durmán Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 A new one: Bane Tahu When I first saw a poster for the Dark Knight Rises on a bus stop I was like "LOL wut? Batman is gonna fight Tahu this time?" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taria Pakari Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah, I'm not seeing any similarities there. Bane looks way different. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybre Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah, I'm not seeing any similarities there. Bane looks way different.Reminds me more of a Vahi if a Dark Hunter designed it. 5 Quote mindeth the cobwebs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Umm Durmán Posted July 12, 2016 Author Share Posted July 12, 2016 Yeah, I'm not seeing any similarities there. Bane looks way different. The mouth piece is a little different, but it's overall shape and size reminds me of the Hau. Also the cheekbands remind me of the cheeks of the Hau. The positioning of the eyes compared to the mouthpiece also closely resembles a Hau in my eyes and their heads have nearly identical shape and feature proportions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The positioning of the eyes compared to the mouthpiece also closely resembles a Hau in my eyes and their heads have nearly identical shape and feature proportions I don't want to sound off-topic, but in my opinion, Bane in Dark Knight Rises looks more like Core Hunter from Hero Factory without his eye scopes than Tahu, but okay. I can see how you compare. Anyway, back on topic, I always see Preston Stormer's helmet (not including the 2.0 or 3.0 helmet) look like 2015 Lewa's mask. 2 Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!

Even Terminator noted the resemblances between their franchise and Bionicle. Apparently they had a TV show where an AI human often played with Toa Mistika sets talking about the "genius of ball joint design"...

Umm Durmán Posted August 9, 2016 Author Share Posted August 9, 2016 Here comes another one. One which is another frightening reminder of the ridiculousness of synthol. Valdir the synthol freak Skull Basher This just shows that Synthol is not only life threathening, but looks outright disgusting. Both Valdir and Skull Basher share massive chests, massive upper arms but ridiculously thin forearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alyska Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 (edited) I am a huge fan of dogs (I have two dogs at home, a 16 year old Dachshund and a 11 year old Golden Retriever) and if I were to ever have a Dogue de Bordeaux and it would be a male, I would surely give him the name Pohatu Get a grouchy little white cat as well and see how long it takes him to make friends with it. Also, on-topic, look at this robot snake and tell me it's not something a Makuta would create...
