Zarohum Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 What set or sets utilized the Inika build the best? (Actual Toa Inika don't count.)I would probably say Lewa Phantoka or Jaller Mahri. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta Matata Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Jaller Mahri worked out well. Also, Lewa and Kopaka Phantoka worked. Quote Three on Three - Memoirs of the Dead - Winner!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BioGio Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I liked Jaller Mahri's build, since it had the other mold to complement the bland Inika structure. I'll assume that we can't say any Titan sets, since they obviously were not exclusively "Inika" in build. Carapar also wasn't bad.~ BioGio Quote dig "You're a scientist?

Akuna Toa of Sonics Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Jaller Mahri took it up a notch. I liked the new mold and tube breathers attaching to the Inika chest so well.

ManiacToaLaco Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 I think I'll agree with the consenus and say Jaller Mahri. Those tubes and that Awesome mask and parts really made it stand out. And his colour scheme was pretty cool too.And that crab was amazing.MTL Quote Transonicle Transonicle 2: Revenge of Icarax Transonicle Re-Mastered Edition Transonicle 3: The Ultimate DoomAlso, check the BZP comedy wiki for all your Transonicle, and other comedy, needs.

Sumiki Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Jaller Mahri was easily one of the best canister sets. While the crab was kind of stupid, I loved the parts and the aesthetics of the set. The armor flowed well, and the sword was really cool.Aside from that ... I'd say the original Inika, specifically a set such as Kongu or Nuparu. They were for the most part clone sets, but they were the originals and boy were they awesome. It's a shame people tired of an innovative build after just a few waves. Quote avatar by Lady Kopaka Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehlekdude Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Jaller Mahri, Lewa Phantoka, Gresh and Tarix. Also, somehow I really liked Ackar's general shape (big feet, skinny bottom torso, larger top torso and awesomely huge sword). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipu1 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 People seem to be forgetting the awesomeness that is Ackar! Yes, it may have been a standard inika piece of armour, but it was complemented by the best proportions seen on this kind of build, not to mention an awesome colour scheme.

Stryker055 Posted December 14, 2011 Share Posted December 14, 2011 Ackar's probably the best straight-reuse of the Inika build, but I can't disagree with everyone saying Jaller Mahri.

Peach 00 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Jaller Mahri was always cool. Plus, I remember Gadunka put the Inika torsoes to good use, if that counts - as well, Lewa Phantoka was pretty cool, as well as Pohatu on the Rockoh T3. Quote On the day the wall came down / They threw the locks onto the ground And with glasses high / We raised a cry / For freedom had arrived On the day the wall came down / The ship of fools had finally run aground Promises lit up the night / Like paper doves in flight I dreamed you had left my side / No warmth, not even pride remained And even though you needed me / It was clear that I could not do a thing for you Now life devalues day by day / As friends and neighbors turn away And there's a change that even with regret / Cannot be undone Now frontiers shift like desert sands / While nations wash their bloodied hands Of loyalty, of history / In shades of grey I woke to the sound of drums / The music played, the morning sun streamed in I turned and I looked at you / And all but the bitter residues slipped away slipped away...

Voxumo Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Mahri had the most creative use of the Inika Build.But the Inika were the best clones.I also must point out that 2007 started the set individuality phase since before all the sets were built the same way. example the Toa metru all built the same but with different colors, tools, mask. This lasted all the way up to 2007 when you first have the barraki that are all built different i mean look at how you build ehlek compared to pridak. The same applies to the toa mahri and any sets for the remainder of bionicle except the smaller sets like the av-matoran and agori. Each toa nuva had a unique build and even the glatorian do. They all are unique in their own way and utilize the inika build in different ways.

I always hated how all sets have armor in the front. It's like they are say " oh we will never have someone attack from the back and we will never use that possibility in a story about bionicle because in real life it never happens.". That is precisely why allot of my mocs have armor on their backs in a type of rebel way saying" I'm not going to follow set standards and my mocs are going to b e protected all around never know when they might get stabbed in the back or have a moose ram them in the back with its antlers." I do have to admit the set that makes me the most angry is the takanuva of 08 is front is magnificent then you look at his back and go oohh in a depressing way due to lack of armor. Although i have to admit i was surprised to see Tuma at least had those spike things on his back.Also the new hero factory sets of 2011 also looked weird with there flat backs.

Icicle Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 Jaller Mahri and Matoro Mahri were good.Ackar and Mata Nui were pretty sweet.But in my opinion, Skrall and Strakk take the cake for using it the best.

Protodite Karzahni Posted December 23, 2011 Share Posted December 23, 2011 In any Glatorian that used it. They were all so aesthetically pleasing, I'd consider one of them to be the best usage.

Kojol Posted December 28, 2011 Share Posted December 28, 2011 Disregarding sets like the Skrall, Strakk, and Mantax, who used the piece in a different way from the standard Inika build, I'd say that the Glatorian generally used it well. I'd probably say Ackar is the best, due to his color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuparu1995 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I think they definitely improved the build over time, probably peaking with the Mahri or the Phantoka.

Jmwman Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I'd say Strakk or Skrall, because they had drastically different backs than any other set.

Ballom Nom Nom Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Eh, I dunno . . . weren't all of the Toa/Glatorian pretty generic in the latter years? I can only really remember how the Inika themselves looked, which was rather nice and smooth and all.That isn't to say I dislike the Inika torso. It's a very versatile piece that I often have used. It's just that the latter Toa/Glatorian seemed relatively forgetable.~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Fluffy Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 (edited) All the sets with the build used it the same, so I guess all of them.

aaninja64 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Malum, because while he suffered from gorilla proportions, it actually looked good on him, and his claws & helmet were cool. Also, Gresh was awesome, because he didn't have a really flat chest compared to almost all other Inika builds, except for Mata Nui & Malum.
