He's far, far from the worst set of G2 like some people have said. Maybe saying he's the best is too much, but he's not even bad. Neither is Pohatu.

>>5541036
I like Ketar, his function is a bit messy, but he looks cool, is a pretty big figure, and his unity with Pohatu and Umarak is my favorite.

Pohatu Uniter is also based, first or second favorite uniter

>>5541226
No, it's illegal in Okotoan lore to combine more than one element, you shouldn't do it.

>>5541226
They can since the basic setup is the same on all of them.
Only the combinations with Umarak are tricky since you have to take off the shadow trap parts for some of them.

You're a male between the age of 19 and 23.
You were massively into Bionicle during your formative years, but had few other friends who liked it as much as you (or at all).
Your parents weren't the type to buy you toys outside of christmas and birthdays, and when they did it was almost never Bionicle.
You didn't have much money of your own, so getting a new Bionicle set was more of a once-or-twice-a-wave thing.
You mostly lost interest in Bionicle around '07/'08, and regret it to some extent.

You know hat Lego should have done back in 2002? They should have made gummie candy versions of Krana. Kids could load them into Bohrok and then use the strike function to fling them into their mouths. I mean sure, occasionally the real plastic Krana would get mixed up and Lego would be responsible for a handful of hospital visits, but it would done in the name of fruit flavored biomechanical goodness.

>>5542485
You can't lose with the main bad guy this year, Umarak the Hunter.

>>5542485
I don't hate Lego, they're better than 99% of toys out there and are good for kids to be creative

I'm just not interested in them as an adult. I enjoy seeing the new stuff about the bionicle reboot, but haven't bought any of them.

>>5542485
>I hate the little block piece of shit with yellow skin.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who can't stand fucking minifigures. I actually gave in to Lego's marketing at the start of the year and bought a Nexo Knights set, and the little fucker in there doesn't even have the articulation to hold his lance properly. They're pretty much just decoration, and still, blind bags of the little shits are considered profitable while mask packs aren't.

>>5541223
But Pohatu, Lewa and Umarak were the best characters

The other Toa just felt like supportive characters, Onua and Gali felt like they filled their roles but Tahu and Kopaka just felt like a bunch of jokers

>>5542546
>Tahu and Kopaka
Might be because a big part of their characters in last year's animations was their rivalry for leadership. Journey to One aimed to show the Toa as an established team and had a different conflict to spend the very limited runtime on, so they had to do something entirely different with them. Not really happy with how they handled it, but looking at it this way at least makes it seem reasonable.

>>5542546
>>5542546
I wouldn't say they're jokers, just uncharacteristically free spirited and lighthearted.

Sup thread. Im very new to bionicle but was into Lego for years. In fact...i actually own only 2 sets.
But i instantly was interested in bionicle when i bought this Skull Scorpio yesterday.
As i understood (by watching youtube) Skull Scorpio is one of the most hated and ugly sets ever, but i actually like it by transparent acidic green colors and menacing insect/arachnid look.

So i bought 2 of these sets and tried to combine them and ended up with this.
>removed that awkward giant gimmick-y biting action tail and added grabbing claw with another rib cage
>slightly modded his head so he now looks like a mutant Bat Scorpion
People seem to hate his static legs but i dont have any problem with that.
PS:
Hope to try out more sets later and excuse my bad english.

the problem with Ketar is that his function has no friction and is VERY prone to falling apart.

>>5542804
Take the tail. Rest it in the gap underneath it created by the exposed middle of the 5L axle. Enjoy your inbuilt locking mechanism. Use your brain next time. If he is falling apart you have built him wrong.

>>5542472
even still though

>>5542743
Cute mod, anon. I personally find the giant gimmicky biting action tail rather fun, but your poseable option is cool.

Skull Scorpio isn't actually a bad choice for one of your first sets, if you're already planning on getting more. The build can be very inspiring, because it's not humanoid.

Where do you live, anon? Do you have the 2016 BIONICLE sets yet (the Uniters, the Creatures, Umarak the Hunter)?

>>5542834
Thanks! I liked that biting tail too - i left it just like that but re-made it into some kind of "Biting Turret" that sits on its own. Its fun to use it.
I just didn't like those technic parts that "ate" too much space of scorpion's design.
I don't have any of those in own stores but already want to order few creatures (especially Uksar - it has my favorite jaw/trap thingie) to use them as parts.
The most wanted thing for me is picrelated. He has the same color scheme as SkullScorpio and i probably gonna try to combine them.
Umarak looks great too.

I used to be all down on the Mask of Regeneration,
until I fount out it doesn't regenerate shit and is more a mask of repair, so I don't actually know now. The Mask of Healing, on the other hand, doesn't have any fucking confirmed shape, so can't use that. The Mask of Life would be a dead-ringer for my preferred mask were it not for its power to instantly take life as well, and the rarity of it in any setting makes any self-moc using it mary-sue turf. I like the shape of the Mask of Control, but we have literally no clue as to exactly what its power is, so I can't say I'm down for it either, and it also suffers the same situation of the mask of life as too rare and important. Olmak is also cool looking, but also like the other two, albeit half as rare relatively.

I am a torn man, all the mask I like are either too rare, not actually what I want, or only existent in text form. I guess Onua Mistika's Pakari looks like a dinosaur-face slightly, so that's cool, and Onua Mata was my first bonkle ever, so I guess until powers and/or pictures are sorted out for some of the other masks, I'll go with some Pakari variant.

>>5541928
I used to have the exact same sort of dreams tho they were more specific, usually based on 2001 Gali and Kopaka. Dropped in frequency after I ebayed Gali tho.

>>5541928
I remember a dream I had around December 2014 where I came across a shelf with all those random-ass Rahi that appeared in the story and only existed as combiners or custom models, but packaged as 2001-style canister sets. That one had me pretty disappointed after waking up.

I never played with the Technic stuff when I was a kid so I avoided Bionicle/Hero Factory/Etc since its inception.

Pic related, I picked this up on clearance at Target for $20 just for Grievous (which is like $37 by himself), assembled him yesterday.

My gosh this is glorious. I'm a bit disappointed I didn't pull the trigger on these sooner. I even recently skipped out on a huge tub of bionicle parts from a garage sale recently simply because I never saw potential in them like my classic brick sets.

I dunno that I'll start buying up Bionicle-esque in droves now, but I am really interested in a MOC Iron Patriot. Guess I'll start checking the interwebs

If i was a child now i would spend hours with him playing on my living room floor like i did with Lewa. I have bought 4 other sets since. They've pulled me back in.

Anyway, i was at my parents house today and dug up my old stuff. My little brother and me used to have every toa mata and nuva (i had dibs on green white and blue) and most enemies and little ones. Sadly alot has come apart so you guys will have be satisfied with what was still in one piece.

To sell more sets, obviously.

>>5544285
That's some pretty sound logic. I could totally see the Great Beings in a brainstorming session about it.

"Alright guys, so to avoid the previous disaster with the Great Spirit Robot, let's start again but...smaller. We'll make two brothers, and still name one Makuta. Get rid of Mata Nui, I think he was a little too ignorant. And this time, just make them mask makers. No more BS with 1000 different powers, that's just overkill."

So a while back i came across a figure of macku in a bulk lot with most of the 2001-2 sets. It's a normal in construction, but is painted with maroon/dark red all over. It looks too professional in the body/head area to be a custom, but the arms and legs are almost a different color. Anyone know what this could be in reference to? Somethin from the online game, a custom, anything?

>>5544304
are you talking about how those +o pieces connect to the piece of unity? its illegal if you do it in the order the instructions say, but can easily be made legal by putting the blue pins in the +o pieces all the way before putting them through the unity piece, which allows the blue pins to stick all the way through the piece rather than be stressed due to being only 90% of the way in.

>>5544310
Shit like this is why I hate Ketar. I like that he's a scorpion, but his build feels weak as shit and his sword arms are impossible to pose.

For some poses, I like to re-attach the connectors in the arms at a 90 degree angle to simulate a bend. Otherwise, most poses I have the swords swung backwards like wings, as he appears passively in JtO.

Holy fuck, this seems to happen. I have a dream where I'm in a fuckhueg store too, stocked with sets and toys of all of my childhood favorites, but especially a lot of Bionicle.
How many people have the same experience?

>>5544388
I missed out on Kopaka mata and have had many many dreams of finding stores that are stocking tons of old G1 bionicle sets, especially ones that I have always wanted like Kopaka.

However, in every single one of these dreams, every single one of these Kopaka canisters are missing most of the pieces inside, and I spend the rest of the dream frantically searching the store for a kopaka canister with all the pieces inside to no avail.

>tfw Umarak the Destroyer doesn't look like this

He completely lost his forest demon theme that made him unique among Bionicle and Lego villains.

>>5545066
But he is pretty much that. Shittily done, but that;s still what they were going for

>>5545076

I would've at least liked to see the antlers, not to mention he should tower against the Toa yet he's as tall as the Hunter.

>>5545081
Every year I pray for a villain/titan set that actually looks like it could pose a threat to more than one Toa

>>5545081
>>5545085
This is why large hero characters is a bad idea. The Inika build caused this problem in G1 as well. When you have smaller toa (like the mata), then you dont have to make the villains as big in order for them to tower over the toa and look imposing. Since there is a strict upper limit on how big a lego set can be, then if your base characters are big, everything is only going to be slightly bigger than them.

Also UtD is as tall as Hunter factoring in the Antlers, if you take the antlers off Destroyer is imposingly larger than Hunter (not tiny upper legs would have been nice though).

>>5545066
While the antler thing was cool and made him special I can see why they were going more for the twisted beastly look.
It was either keep the antlers and a normal looking MoC or a distorted mask but no antlers.

>>5545127
Shouldn't be too hard to throw them on though. Colors might be weird but it's not like they aren't already. I'd look at it as the mask and his antlers fusing horribly wrong.

>implying beast transformation via mask isn't new

>>5544277
Well, if Ekimu and Makuta were Toa sized, then Makuta's transformation into a black and red titan upon donning the MoUP would seem less intense.

>tldr; dwarf into titan seems more intimidating than big guy into slightly bigger guy

Kinda like how UtH into UtD isn't as epic as it could've been because his base form is already big and intimidating from the start.

That makes sense

>>5545172
I'm still happy that we got the actually threatening winter wave villain we've been asking for since last year, but making Umarak smaller and less imposing in his base form would have gone pretty well with his character. He's both stated and shown to be weaker than any single Toa and uses tactics and surprise attacks to win in the end, so it's not llke he's making any use of his size.

How does /biog/ feel about adding movement to scenes using pieces ? Pic related is an obvious example, but imagine adding some slashing effect on a blade to describe the movement it takes.

Does anyone remember an old line from like the late 90s early 2000s where they were sort of like transforming insects? I think there was like an ant, a scorpion and a dragonfly, and they had some kind of power core inside them.

Wait, maybe those weren't bionicle. But shit I can't remember.

I'm not sure, I'm only assuming

>>5549524
See it's weird, because around my area in the US for at least a month or so TRUs had nothing BUT Ketar and Uxar as far as the creatures were stocked on the shelves. The distribution for these sets has just been kind of whack all over the place.

Can we get back to Trump posting?

>>5549815
No.

Does anyone have a screencap of the Ice Flavored Shadow Traps? I saw JTO at a friend's house but don't have netflix to get it at home, and I want to scope out the price of buying all the pieces to make one myself without having to buy two sets (one for the little claw feet and one for the actual trap parts)

I got you. It's got two trans blue claws in the back and white/silver robot arms with bull horns in the front.

I kinda hoped they would had been tentacles.
Because, you know.

>>5549885
Thanks friend, compiled a part list, will post if anyone else wants it

>>5549885
Ice traps are best traps. Fucking love that bit in particular when the guy up top taps on the ice, breaks it, and topples over onto the other trap. Like, what the fuck are you guys doing? They're so retarded and I adore them.

>>5549936
please post it

>>5549963
These are relatively unique parts that are otherwise hard to get:
6071312 Claw x2
6032360 Horns x2
6006126 White Arms x2
6135124 Shadow Trap x2
6124042 Chain Link x4
These parts are commonly included as extras in sets or otherwise might already have
4497943 Red Eye
4274 in Light Bluish Gray 1/2 pin for eye
6013938 3/4 pin for tail
4211679 Male connector
4210695 Female connector

I used item numbers as opposed to element numbers so you can get the colors, although the half pin one had two numbers so I just used the element.

Just tried to build a female moc, because I had a female head similar to Roodaka but with more "hair" that was unused. Opinions? Not too sure about the quality of this moc.

>>5549996
I hate roodaka head builds and rakshi head builds and "hair"

The body looks fine though

>>5550129
Seconding this, although the feet could use some work.

>>5549971
I checked, and there are 4 sellers on BL that have shadow trap halves for sale.

Thanks for the feedback guys. I normally don't use that kind of head either, but I wanted to try and then give this head a body.
What can I do about those feet? Never built any like these. Should I add some greeble or something?

They might technically be bootlegs, but you gotta admit they're creative.

They're nice hybrids, I'll give them that

>>5549524
I asked one toy store here if they get the two, and the guy responded that Lego doesn't distribute everything. He may get some in other ways.

Not that I mind. I can use those two as an excuse to order from S@H next month to get Mr Freeze

>>5550531
No, you should design heels instead of trying to use those big foot parts.

>>5550563

More creative than a straightforward "Let's take an existing set and change some colors around", at least.

>>5549489
probably aliexpress but I can't find them there

Are these better, o Satan?

>>5550827
I like the mata foot more. Don't think you have to do something so complex just because the alternative is a single piece. If it looks better to you go with the mata foot, I personally like it more. If anything I don't like the heel bit.

>>5549506
as much as I don't like KOs...I want these. a lot. if someone ever finds a place that sells this, tell us.

>>5550527
these KOs are actually pretty damn cool. maybe not 2008/9 Vehicle tier cool, but it'd definately give me another lineup to collect.

Could someone check LDD? I heard it got updated. Wanna know if Bonkle made the cut

Any recommendations how to make Umarak store his bow on his back without extensive modifications?

Quick and simple solution: attach it through the spare tan half-pin onto one of the shadow trap parts.

>>5549506
Are those size 4 red shells? I need it

The website I found have them for pretty high prices considering they are bootlegs.But I won't lie when I say that they are pretty cool.

Thanks! I toyed around with it a little more and came up with this using the extras for the shadow trap and reshuffling some pieces. Apologies for the shoddy quality.
