/biog/ - Bionicle and CCBS General: The aftermath edition

this thread sucks

Does this mean we're getting Hero Factory back?

So what is everyone's plans for the future? Will you switch to making moc bionicles or go back to regular lego or wait for lego to announce something to fill this niche?

>>5843347
There was a Lego designer on the TTV JtO Makuta thread. He said he'd confirm the accuracy of some elements of the build and perhaps request more pictures on parts we had trouble with.

Can someone with a TTV account ask him to request more pictures of the Mask of Ultimate Power itself though? I want to see the piece alone from all angles, because I think it'd really help our Shapeways Mask Makers out.

>>5843355
I plan to nuke this thread

And wait until something interesting pops up.

It looks great so far. Could we maybe see it from the direct front? It's hard to tell how long those side-fins are from this angle.

Also, you plan on making it bigger than pic related right?

>>5843355

I'm just here to shitpost and cultivate nostalgia after I lost my massive store of legos and bionicles during a move and my pathetic attempt to rebuild my stock with G2 just got shot dead.

Hero factory is vomit-tier ugly

>>5843410
Phantoka/Mistika sets were vomit-tier ugly on top of being fragile yet people still want those.
Just because something is terrible doesn't mean people won't want it.

What is worse? Not getting a Mata Nui robot or JTO Makuta set?

>>5843398
Thanks, here's a pic from the front.
I'm making it the same size as in the contest video, which should be a bit bigger than that.

>>5843422
like any cityformer or planetformer, there would be no possible way to justify any scale relation between a great spirit robot set and other bionicle products, so I'm less happy about not getting a Gen2 Makuta with mask of ultimate power

>>5843421
The Adaptive Nuva also had years of nostalgic character development to back them up despite the quality of the actual sets, though. I feel like most of the core Heroes barely got any of that.

>>5843422
Toa Mata Nui was their attempt at something sort of like it. At least we got THAT.

>>5843426
So do you model professionally or is it a side thing?

Looks good, though. I agree with the other people who mentioned it: the smoothing you do is much needed over the jagged versions done by the other people.

Still cool to see people do this work to make up where Lego failed.

>>5843355
I think I'm done buying lego unless they bring bionicle back. Not saying that in an angry way, just don't see a need to buy system sets or anything like hero factory. Most likely I still try to complete foreign G1 rare collectibles and maybe the 14k gold hau.

>>5843373
Looks amazing keep up the good job anon!

>>5843398
Glad I'm holding off until a better looking one releases.

>>5843355
i'll still build mocs I guess. the occasional bricklink order as well. lego money will probably go back into karate bugmen again

>>5843429
While that is true, though I will note that the forms the mistika/phantoka toa were designed really wouldn't be recognizable as their characters unless you were told. Even Kopaka's distinct mask was established to be just a recurring trend with white bionicles, given Nuju's toa mask, and thus his phantoka set could also have been someone we didn't know.
I will say that hero factory had some good sets. Granted, they were exceptions that proved the point that hero factory sets were usually sub par, but not everything to come out of that brand was bad.

>>5843435
True. Change out the yellow for grey and plop on a Mata head, then you have a basic MN robot.

>>5843426
Here are some shots from the official Flickr Gallery and a couple of constructive suggestions:

- The shaping of the fins that sweep backwards is a little off. They're not supposed to taper inwards toward the bottom but rather outwards a little.

- The bumps right of above the side fins should be a little more pronounced as well.

- A good point of reference for the overall size of the model is to make the center most circle of the forehead crest the exact same diameter as the circle on the foreheads of the MoC and MoCo.

Hope I've offered something helpful.

Should clarify, not the INNER most circle, but the one between that and the outer rim of the six segments. Sorry if that's confusing.

I still think the most important alteration you should make is the taper of those swept fins.

I'm done buying any new lego, but I might try and pick up some of the Bionicles I missed from 2001-2003.

I'm waiting on LEGO to release something that isn't CCBS Star Wars. Until then I'll buy as much CCBS as possible before all Bionicle sets are gone for good.

If worse comes to worst, I might finally attempt to make a life-sized model of LEGO Island (from the old video game). Modern LEGO hardly interests me other than Mixels, and I've been meaning to try and recreate my other childhood love for years now.

What? You're obviously doing something wrong.

Hey, three questions for you guys.

1. When the MoUP is done, will there be a way to purchase it from someone?
2. Is there currently instructions for Ultimate Makuta?
3. How is everyone? Doin' good?

>>5843681
1. From Shapeways, probably. Unless someone decides to make a mold from it and cast the mask in a cleaner material.

2. This is the best we got right now: https://www.flickr.com/photos/43377110@N06/sets/72157670900951320

3. Purty gud.

>>5843681
1.shapeways
2. somehwere on flickr
3. I wish I was dead.

>>5843681
1. The anon working on his MoUP will more than likely put it up on shapeways as everyone else has.

2. There's a collection of photos on flickr from Dorek as well as a topic on TTV regarding the Ultimate Makuta instructions. (I currently don't have links, sorry)

3. Pretty good. Working on Ultimate Makuta myself and anticipating anon's MoUP, and in a weird way it's bringing closure building the big bad and making it feel like Bionicle wasn't actually cancelled and I'm not missing out on the one important set that would've come from 2017.

>A good point of reference for the overall size of the model is to make the center most circle of the forehead crest the exact same diameter as the circle on the foreheads of the MoC and MoCo.

precisely, keep in mind that the actual injection molded part would include the "plastic entry area" as the same size and shape as literally all the other G2 masks thus far

Is "Mask of Ultimate Power" even trademarked?

I'm willing to buy a full Ultimate Makuta off someone for a decent price.

I just don't have it in me to bricklink everything.

>>5843355
I'll probably just switch over to bricks until something interesting pops up over here.

>>5843355
Doing my best to finish my G1 collection, gonna be hard though as I need the vehicles and some of the bigger Rahi from the first year.
After/along that if they'll still have a constraction line, buy some sets and keeping MOC building too.

Which new Gali should I get, master or uniter?
If I do end up getting uniter I will still get master's mask because I don't like any of the uniter masks.

>>5843868
Master Gali is better in almost every conceivable way.

>>5843881
Alrighty, was probably gonna get her anyways but thought I would get some input first.

I'd like to know exactly why they decided to cancel it so early on. Have they given us anything that isn't a corporate non-answer yet?

>>5843937
It was a HAAAAARD decision for them because the line sold just FIIIIINE!

>>5843937
I think we only got non-answers so far.

>>5843937
Typically, Lego lines go on for at least 3 years before being cancelled.

Bionicle only had 2.

>>5843915
I tend to have dreams about new bionicle sets. Most of the time they have a gritty mysterious feel to them, and most are titans/rahi with elaborate builds and metal as fuck masks.

>>5843937
They probably didn't plan for it to go far if it didn't get popular enough.

Does anyone have the list of sets that you need to make Makuta?

"Let's bring back one of our most beloved themes! Here's our game plan:
-Allocate only 20% of the original series' budget to the project.
-Withhold creative liberties from the story team so that we don't "confuse" children with the basic fundamentals of character development.
-Provide the line with close to zero real advertisement, and blow whatever else we could have put towards additional media on solid gold contest prizes.
-And if the whole endeavor FOR SOME REASON isn't as successful as Ninjago or Star Wars? Pull the god damn plug and shut this bitch down after only two years."

Post sexy gali

The end of G2 burned me more then the end of G1, since my interest in Bionicle started to wane after the Inika. I'm thinking about experimenting with stop motion, and I hope we get more CCBS that isn't overpriced.

>>5844065

There's the lack of marketing no doubt, but I wonder if Bionicle would still be compatible with the current times.

>>5844144
Bionicle is best left as an early 2000s thing IMO.

>>5844144
Robots are cool no matter what and thats essentially what bionicle are

I think multimedia is really what helps toys sell these days though and g2 was very weak in that regard (JtO wasnt even really good)

>>5843410
There is very little aesthetic difference between later hero factory and reboot bionicle. The skeletons seriously just seemed like a wave of Hero Factory villains the Witch Doctor would command.

>>5844144

First year bionicles did look quite hero factory ish but i was at one store and they had 2 hero factory sets and some bionicle, and the hero factory sets still looked dumb compared to it

Eh...Is there anything to hope for in terms of anything new this leak season?

>>5844144
People who think that something like Bionicle wouldnt click with kids nowadays is generally a lego shill who believes they can do know wrong and the only way something of theirs could do poorly is if it was the worlds fault, not theirs.

Bionicle has every ingredient it needs to be successful, its basically Avatar meets Power Rangers meets Transformers, you should be able to sell it to anyone at anytime with good marketing.

The problem with G2 was 100% marketing for sure, when you see Nexo Knights come out at the same time, launching with a television show, it becomes obvious that Lego is capable of making something popular. I feel like they just dont care about constraction or Bionicle, as it became very clear how small their marketting budget was overall.

There was also a clear misunderstanding of what made the original Bionicle popular when it came to the new one, Lego seemed to think that complex terms, lore, and various in-depth worldbuilding would confuse kids rather than intrigue them. As much as it may not be so in practice, today's kids should have everything they need to be MORE educated and capable of critical thought than the original Bionicle audience, and yet you seem to treat them like actual idiots.

>>5844203
Honestly i wouldnt be surprised if they stick with star wars ccbs only, until those sales start to stagnate, if they ever do

The thing is are those sets really doing that well? I see lots of them at every store that sells lego but i cant til if shelves are stocked full because they arent moving or employees fill shelves daily

>>5844209
The real question is are todays kids generally smarter or dumber than we were?

>>5844194
You're jaded if you think that's true.

>>5844215
You would think that with the unabridged Library of Alexandria a tap or click away they'd be smarter. Or at least the means required to understand complex ideas would be easier for them to obtain. Remember when every commercial told kids to ask their parents before going online?...

...Is that still a thing? I barely watch TV at all anymore.

Now you think I'm pretty rad.

Why the FUCK did Ekimu keep telling the Toa:
>United but not One
>United but not One
>United but not One
>United but not One
>United but not One
When it was their fucking destiny to combine their powers into ONE so they could BTFO Makuta? It's even right in the title, Journey to ONE.

What the actual fuck Ekimu?

>>5844386
Prophecy said that's what he had to tell them, so he did. And in the end, it actually worked.
The real message of G2 is "Just follow the instructions and it will all work out. Even if they make no sense."

>>5844386
Maybe because he was expecting them to turn into an abomination against everything holy like Makuta and not a light show that sends everyone back to their elemental realms.

>>5844393
>You know my brother Makuta and the crazy shit he did? Yeah, don't be like him.

>>5844386
Even explained that way, I'm still not sure I understand the title for the Netflix show. Is it supposed to be like, an abridged version of the phrase "Six heroes Journey to One Destiny" or some shit? I wonder if we'll ever get a confirmation from Lego as to why they titled it that.

So I take it neither bs01 nor bzp interviews are out yet

>>5844400
>"Six heroes Journey to One Destiny"
That makes sense. But to cause more confusion, in the first episode Narmoto says "The SEARCH for One" instead. What the fuck does that mean? And if WE don't know, how does HE?

Is "ONE" supposed to be the Mask of Control? I don't fucking know anymore.

>>5844391
>Lego Movie: Following instructions is nice but it's also not the only path. You can change the world by being creative.
>Bionicle G2: Don't diverge from the instructions. Nothing you do matters.

Since the Masks of Creation and Control have those writings on them, maybe it could be good to have the shapeways MoUP with those too, like a "special edition".

I think the idea is that the MoCo, MoC, and maybe even golden Unity masks were designed by ancient Okotans, so they're all mystical and shut with indecipherable runes. The MoUP and Protector masks were designed by the more modern Mask Makers, so they don't have those motifs.

I also incorporated a second pair of arms tucked away in the back, kind of like some sort of shadow arms since they're all black. The back is also satisfyingly armoured and not so gappy. I can take some more pictures of that tomorrow.

I think this is actually somewhat decent enough to enter in the Makuta building contest. Keep in mind I haven't MOCed seriously ever before, other than a couple small things here and there. What do you guys think? (3/3)

Looks pretty solid, at least from the front.

You could make the thumb angle more natural by adding one of those small clip bars on each hand like pic related, at the cost of having one additional moving part that doesn't actually need to move.

Can someone post that quake beast fix from a few threads ago and the parts needed.

So why is Quake Beast $30 again? I managed to snag one for $13 shipped

Still no downloadable versions of the last two episodes? Or are we just gonna wait for the supposed DVD release, if it ever happens.

Does transparent plastic react to paint differently than normal one, or can I just get a spare Hero Pack and paint the mask black so I can build this >>5843632 ?

>hope you enjoyed those combiners that were just some set with three pieces of some others slapped on instead

>>5845107
Bear in mind this was a set designer making a MOC. LEGO probably would never green light this onto store shelves due to its complexity and parts count.

>>5845046
Can anyone give me a detailed picture of the top of the staff's construction and what piece makooti uses to hold it?

>>5845107
>>5845118
So is this practically every piece from the sets, excluding trans-purple, trans-green and neon-green ones?

>>5845130
I'm still hoping someone makes an inventory, because I seriously doubt it uses more than 30% of some required sets.

>>5845160
Me too.

I know for a fact that I have a bunch of those already on my BL store and it's easy to just remove them there.

Also it's going to be so much cheaper to just BL the parts than buy 7 sets, two of which are discontinued and four are on their way out.

>>5845122
Maybe not as a single set but a combiner of that complexity wouldn't be too out of question.
Shit like UtD with new fingernails and a longer torso or the Masters wielding Protector weapons was borderline insulting.

>>5845199
Excuse you, beefed up Kulta wasn't half bad.

If you want truly bad combiner, there's always the Skull Clusterfuck

>>5845129
If you're not using this page, it has some fairly clear shots of how the staff goes together.

He holds it using a Turaga hand that plugs into the thumb connector.

>>5845205
There are a heaping handful of truly shitty G1 combiners too, though.

>>5845222
This, too.

Even the oh so beloved Kaita are pretty bad.

>>5845224
Personally, I think Takutanuva is among the shittiest. If you're nostalgia blind enough to contest that, I suggest you build it again and refresh your memory.

It's a load of ass.

>>5845205
Skull Clusterfuck wasn't really all that bad.

The color scheme was a mess, yes, and I feel insulted that it used the two skulls with the most creative functions and then just half-assed it.

But I've seen worse

>>5845234
Ultimate Dume and Voporak too haven't aged well.

>>5845238
Really? I honestly think those ones aren't half bad. Only problem I have with them is that they sometimes have trouble supporting their own weight because of those shitty first generation friction connectors. Kardas has the same issue as well, though.

Best combiners are both the Barraki ones. Kardas is only okay

It's all over now, so the only consequence is that I get to buy the parts that the kid was eyeing up.

In an alternate universe, Bionicle G1 never ended. It just got bigger and bigger until LEGO had to basically make an entire separate division devoted to Bionicle.

TV shows, good video games, comic books, a theatrical film or two. CCBS still became a thing, and the sets were very mediocre like the Hordika, but they got better and re-released the Toa Mata in CCBS form for a special 15th anniversary series.

To some, Bionicle felt run to the ground. The plot got more and more convoluted as more and more plot points reared their heads. Either way, the universe was extremely fleshed out like any major comic or movie series, with no stone left unturned.

Velika was only one of a bigger group of beings who thought the Matoran Universe was a bad idea. Alien invaders come to Spherus Magna, total war breaks out. Makuta is resurrected and plays second fiddle to whatever big bad is in each arc.

But no. We just got two year reboot of decent sets and a plot that makes Saturday morning cartoons look like Citizen Kane. End my life.

>>5846246
They actually brought on multiple designers from different departments at Lego to put this model together. One of the guys who helped design it posted on the TTV forums that he usually builds for Mindstorms.

>>5846272
Fuckin' aces. It's a pity that the villain models didn't get the same treatment, I'm sure they would have sold better if their designs had received a little more constructive criticism.

from what i experimented yesterday, the okoton armor is placed one pin above the 4 length shell, so that the other pin on the armor is unused.

Went to TRU to try to pick up the summer sets since all I had was destroyer. Got the last Toa Ekimu for 22 fucking dollaroonies and Quaker for 17. Nobody respects the MSRP. Target has literally no bionicles on display any more and I called the Lego Store to find out they had none left and wouldn't get any more.

has anyone here bothered to make this makuta model?

>>5846530
Not really.

Piss poor marketing with uninteresting initial designs, with the implication that nostolgia would sell it when G1 bonkle fans mostly rejected it because CCBS left it dead on arrival. TGL axed it before it could either gain traction or completely tank.

>>5846530
Lego is ran by old men who think fleshed-out stories are bad for children's imaginations, so they wanted to bring Bionicle back for its sales without bringing back what made the series popular. They realized early on that half-assing the series wasn't going to work, so they pulled the plug rather than learn from their mistake and correct it.

We're lucky we got anything resembling closure. These are the same assholes who were going to flip the switch in 2009 and tell us to make up our own ending.

>>5846542
>who think fleshed-out stories are bad for children's imaginations
This is no excuse. Ninjago and Nexo have very fleshed out stories, and even Chima got an ending.

I just realized that, if we actually aren't getting any constraction besides Star Wars stuff in the near future, we probably won't be seeing many vibrant colors in CCBS for a while. That kind of sucks.

That's not a bad thing. I got nauseous when I saw Ahkmou's brown in person on Christmas 2003(early LS@H release), and that nasty-looking gold on my new Takanuva Nikes didn't help. I might've been sick with something, but those two colors made my stomach churn for a while because they looked like puke at a glance.

I'm considering just ordering those on Bricklink since I've gone to several stores and can't find any Tahu's for sale, and he's the last one I'm missing. I've actually seen more LoSSs and Masters than I have Uniters.

>>5847455
Mostly the smaller parts and few bigger CCBS bones and the golden armor add ons.

>finally buy two masters after only having uniters
>tfw theyre way better

better colour schemes, feel a lot more solid, dont shake after the slightest vibration, look more like actual action figures etc.

>>5846844
This is pretty ok.

Lava Beast, ketar and uxar are coming in the mail tomorrow, which one should I build first?

>>5847517
One of the Creatures. Save Lava for last.

Yooo MoUP anon. Any progress?

>>5847541
Lord Moupanon, the legendary Mask Maker.

So i was reading some JoJo's bizarre adventure recently and got inspired to do something dumb:

Make the 2015 toa have stands, made from the 2016 toa (plus creature/potector parts). After around 30 mins tinkering, this is what I've got.

I actual kinda like it. I did an Onewa too but he's not quite done yet.Thoughts?

>>5847600
That's fucking amazing, and kind of fits too with the Creatures and unity and what not.

I would suggest you try that with Ekimu and his 2016 counterpart as well.

This one's not finished yet, I just wanted to recreate this iconic pose

I had a quick shot at it, just removed 2016 ekimus legs and attached his waist articulation to 2015 ekimus shoulder one. had to rebuild 2015's legs with a bunch of friction to get him to stand up though.

wasn't sure what style ekimu's stand would be, but as it's bursting with raw energy, i figured a strong, star platinum style shot would look cool. kinda just looks like a 4 armed, two headed ekimu though...

>>5847639
Stand for umarak and kulta, please I'm loving these, not much a fan of the show.

>>5847639
Not bad at all! I've been thinking of getting a second 2016 Ekimu and focus on making a bigger hammer for him and calling that stand "Hammer Time".

Does small Ekimu have bigger feet as well as the modified lower legs there?

One more for tonight

mixed on this one, I kinda like the cloak wings but i'm not sure how to make the swords look not goofy with him wrapped around lewa like that

>>5847662
I did the skull warrior trick of just adding more surface to his small feet, the big ones looked out of proportion

>>5847659
dont have the umarak the destroyer set yet and i'm not too sure what i'd change about kulta to make it more "standy".
Might try cannibalising some earth and jungle sets together to make a shadowy/kulta-y, figure to loom over him, maybe holding his bow for him

does anyone have any cool ways to make master pohatu better? I have uniter and also want master but he honestly isnt very good looking, the only thing going for him really is the stormerangs. feels like he has too much silver too but again I could use some motivation to buy him to finish my collection

>>5847670
ikir one and ekimu one look really good. gali looks awkward and lewa looks pretty good

>>5847680
Honestly I think Master Pohatu is one of the better masters. the silver on one arm makes it look almost robotic (or at the very least, the asymentry looks great). this combined with his height and amazingly sculpted mask (one of my favourite G2) give him a real personality. Plus if you want more brown in him you can sacrifice some protector parts (his protector is also one of the best protectors)

having said that, no idea how to not make his stand not look like puke with all the different pallets used.

glad you like the ones I've made so far, the Gali one was really just for the pose, gona straighten the uniter up a bit, space her away a little and add more fishy things to her (like the creatures tail)

It hurts

>>5847701
>Meanwhile we still have full priced 2015 and 2016 sets

>>5847692
how does master pohatu look if you take the knee pads and put them on his feet?

>>5847701
>price cuts in America
>Russia got some wack polybags
>certain parts of Europe get magazine with existing-parts sets
Being Australian is suffering.

>>5847707
yup, at literally every online shop in canada they are all full price, the only time I saw bionicle for cheaper was at walmart but they only had 4 to choose from (1 i already had) and were still only 4 dollars cheaper

>>5847712
The most discount I ever saw was 10% in an online store, but some stores do have cheaper prices compared to store prices.

Can anyone who built jto makuta help me out a bit? I've got the legs complete, but that's about it. Based on the pics from flickr I'm having issues with how pretty much everything else is built. Can anyone whos built it post some shots of individual parts from a front and side view? Any help is appreciated.

>>5847701
I know the pain. I went to Wallmart and the only sets in the store were two Skull Bashers with crushed boxes in the clearance isle. I saved one from the indignity since I hadn't picked him up yet.

>pretty ok

That's better than I expected, actually, especially with a first time MOC. I'm still tinkering with the hammer build, but I think she sets out My goals pretty well, which was to make a skull villainess and be simple enough to fit in with official skull sets.

I'm tempted to submit her for the Makuta contest. Most of the other submissions so far are overdesigned clusterfucks.

>>5847945
Don't have Quake Beast?

>>5847954
Only picked up Umarak the Destroyer and Ekimu so far. Didn't care for the beasts, but I might pick them up for parts.

>>5847958
Storm and even Quake are pretty great parts packs.

Our MoUP Mask Maker friend better not abandon us.

>>5847659
>>5847759
I was thinking UtD's Stand could've been split up among the Beasts as "Earth, Wind, and Fire", but Storm Beast is actually water and ice and EW&F is already a thing in JoJo.

>>5847659
>implying they don't go the Dio and Kars route and get stronk through masks
Maybe Umarak could go DIO and get a Stand plus being powered up >>5848141.

I must be retarded because one of the simplest things about JTO Makuta is fucking my shit up.

How does this go together?

>>5848288
That one black 3M axle/pin with 2M of axle and the black technic connector used to connect the shadow trap halves to the gunmetal Uniter piece on Umarak come to mind.

>>5848292
Shit, you're right. Thanks mang.

If we take off the tiles, we can pretend the heroica dice to be a nuva cube.

Is anyone else curiously relieved about the end of Bionicle? I couldn't see myself sinking another 10 years' worth of money into the line. I don't have the space, for starters.

The fact that G2 gave us good MOCing parts and we have the ability to build some form of Makuta as a sendoff is good enough for me.

>>5848495
Holy shit, now I want to get the Nuva symbols laser printed on 2x2 tiles. Can't believe I never thought of that.

>>5848140
Hopefully life is just getting in the way atm.

>>5848555

I kinda was worried about money and space myself, because this was really the only line I bought consistently. Everything else was just little things here and there I thought were cool. So yeah, now I can save some money and don't have to worry about any more significant shelf space.

>>5848140
>>5848616
I'm still here, will post progress hopefully later today.

>>5848555
I wouldn't have wanted it to go on for 10 years or anything (especially with this quality of story and marketing), but at least one extra wave just to have a properly planned and executed ending for once would have been nice.

>>5846844
So something like Makuta getting the Mask of Ultimate Power and then giving his Mask of Control to a qt female commander Bonkle?

http://faberfiles.blogspot.co.at/2016/08/flashback-to-battered-and-discontinued.html
Turns out Faber still has a whole bunch of unused DEEPEST LORE stuff for HF lying around. I wonder if it actually had its own GSR-tier twist planned at some point.

>>5848599
It should be trivial to make some [spoiler]stickers[spoiler] for it.
Also I will never not be mad the Toa Nuva didn't come with Nuva symbols and there was never a Nuva cube bundled with Cahdok and Gahdok or randomly dropped in Nuva mask packs or something.

>>5848727

>its own GSR-tier twist planned at some point

IIRC there were hints to a galaxy/universe-wide conspiracy against the Factory in the side material.

Does anyone remember the bionicle TCG? I have a pack lol
