WeatherDragon Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Over the years of BIONICLE we have had many, many shields. Gresh's, Nuparu's, Kopaka's various shields, Raanu, Lhikan, etc.Whose is your favorite?I think Gresh wins for me, it looks fantastic and can work as blades.

Sumiki Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I've never been a fan of shields that had many holes in them, as they don't seem like they'd be either sturdy or effective. As such, I've always been fond of the Skrall shield and Kopaka Nuva's shield, though between the two I prefer the former.

Takanuinuva Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Lhikan's shield to me is the best. Not only is it very big. But it doubles as two swords and a hoverboard to boot.

Mare Tranquillitatis Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Lhikan's always been my favorite, because of its classical-like shape and design, but these years I came to love Gresh's, too, which looks more "wild" with that shape. So, I'd say Gresh's and Lhikan's ex-aequo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrozenFlash Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 I really like the design of Gresh's shield. They also look great for MOCing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taipu1 Posted September 15, 2012 Share Posted September 15, 2012 Tricky question, I prefer Lhikans shield, but its size means I don't actually use it very often. So I'd have to go with Kopaka Mata's shield. Its size means it works for both Matoran and Toa sized MOCs. Quote - Taipu1.HighFly MatoranShowdownBZPRPG ProfilesHave you seen my Blog?

Dralcax Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Skrall. It has an awesome design, a cool buzzsaw, and isn't full of holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rausaro Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I personally like Kopaka Nuva's Shield... it seemed fairly decent for a buckler.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Lhikan's shield. As others have said, it could be split into twin swords and used as a hover board. And I imagine it would be very useful to hit an enemy with it. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Delta Titan Sparta Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 It's tough, but I gotta say Vezon's (non-canon) shield from the Vezon and Kardas set. Quote SUPPORT LEGO HUNGER GAMES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Based Goomy Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I've always been a fan of Lhikan's shield. The two massive swords merging into one massive shield is just great. Quote Looking for a Voya Gold Kraahkan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlchemistMayCry Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 I hate jumping on the bandwagon, but Lhikan's shield/swords/hoverboard has to be the best. Runner ups would be the Hagah shields.

Velox Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Probably Kopaka Nuva's. Seems the most effective. Quote "As a writer you ask yourself to dream while awake." ~ Aimee Bender Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magith Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Mine is probably Nuparu Mahri's shield. It's probably the most protective shield, and seems the most solid. Skrall's is cool, too, but it isn't as big and powerful as Nuparu's. Gresh's shield has a huge hole in the middle, and Lhikan's has two, so I can't say they're very protective. As for parts use, I still like Nuparu's. It has just enough connections to be useful, but not so many that the design of the shield suffers, so it has quite a few uses. Lhikan's are too big, and are hard to use properly. Gresh's have a lot of connection points, so they look a bit hollow. Skrall's is almost impossible to use as anything besides a shield or hat, so it's annoying. So, my favorite is Nuparu's shield. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LewaLew Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Lhikan and Gresh's shields were rather clunky, and got in the way. I prefer Kopaka Nuva's Ice Shield. Simple and Solid. Quote How well will you die? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PDPsi HAN Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 That depends on whether we are talking aesthetics and versatility in the canon, or IRL in MOCing.I do like the Hagah shields for a more imposing sort of character, while the Kopaka shields look more like bucklers.Most shields have holes however, and as such they don't appeal to me as much.

Erebus Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 My favorite shield would have to be the Skrall's standard Saw Blade Shield, though I prefer Tuma's green version from the TLR movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Death of the Endless Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 (edited) In the Bionicle universe, it is not metal but air that is most effective at halting the motion of weapons. Hence, each shield is designed not to provide protection in itself, but rather to organize the air molecules in the most efficient configuration. That is why there is such an incredible abundance of holes. ...I'm going to have to go with Skrall's.

Meta-Mind Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 I would say that I like the Hagah shields the most, though they're pretty much tied with Lhikan's shield. Coming close behind those two are Nuparu's shield and Kopaka Nuva's shield, because they can actually, y'know, protect the user.

PutYaGunsOn Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Being the old-school guy that I am, Imma go with Kopaka Nuva's shield.
