Bionicle 2016 revamps by NOTaHFfan (Toa, Umarak and Ekimu)

@Atobe_Brick thank you very much!

Yeah, I never understood that design choice. I was originally planning to keep just the translucent bones in the forearms for consistency’s sake, because all other Toa have them there, but all my translucent parts in that colour went here, so I gave up on the idea. I think I even like it better this way

@Minethuselah thank you!

Yes, I’m glad that you noticed. Making him stand out as his own thing next to the Sppoky Scary Skeletons was one of my main intentions, I just forgot to mention it in the original post.

@GoodGuy2006

Yeah, that’s quite a sad situation… the Uniter chestplate is an fiddly piece to work with because it doesn’t give you much room for customisation. I have thought about adding something made out of system on top of it somehow, but that would cover up the chest print and not look very nice.

@MooCowsRock thank you very much!

I can see that, it’s definitely a unique silhouette. But to me these particular pieces have always resembled something akin to samurai shoulder armour with those layered “plates”, that’s why I decided to angle them downwards, like on a real armour set

I mean, he did obliterate Skull Grinder who was wearing the mask of creation with one hit in a weakened form, if I remember correctly, so he absolutely has enough swagger to do something like that.

@Rhyla416 thanks a lot!

Yeah, basically there was this dilemma: the smallest CCBS shells looked too thick on the upper arms, while just the bare CCBS bones were too thin, so I kind of settled on a middle ground, which is adding tires.

Me too, actually. They don’t really do anything besides disrupting the colour scheme. The only reason they’re still there is that I was too lazy to take them off before taking the pictures.

@wild_toa thank you very much!

Yeah, this comes at the expense of the combination functions with the beasts, but that’s no big sacrifice because the “combinations” weren’t all that good to begin with.

although I was slacking on Kopaka and Umarak’s backs a bit

They are exactly the same. I think it’s a sufficient enough design, so I didn’t feel like changing it in any way when I build Lewa.

Sigh okay, I will :sunglasses:

@Cordax thank you!

Based jungle opinion, my friend :sunglasses: :sunglasses: :sunglasses:

Eh, I think the way I attached them is so clever that I don’t really feel like getting rid of them. Maybe replacing them with ones in black would fix the issue. These pieces do exist in black, I just don’t have them.

Based. Great reference


And finally, at last @Ghid I’m coming for you

Juno was mad, he knew he’d been had So he shot at the sun with a gun

I had used up so much magic buy that point that I ran out of mana.

The original unedited pic looked like this

So you should be feeling lucky that I didn’t upload it in this state originally :triumph:

What do you mean, the original set literally had just two red pieces, it’s a massive improvement

Yes I did, five years ago, but the scars are just as deep.

But believe me, I have changed my ways since. Actually, you don’t need to believe me because you’ve seen my newer MOCs and know that this is true

Warcrimes of the past

Me too, but I have to work with it for consistency’s sake.

Have you seen the picture this hidden text:

You will like what you’ll see there.

Consistency with the other Uniters once I replace the torso piece:

I actually have a representation of how jarring it will look:


(My revamps of the same sets from 4000 BCA)

Please ignore how awful these builds are and focus on Gali’s chest and how out of place it is.

Warcrimes of the past

You know someone is dad when they make jokes like this

Yay :blush:

I can neither confirm nor deny

Awwww :pensive:

Yaaay :blush:

Well, I did say that I put the least effort into this one

Well, I would like to use some pieces In the new gold colour Lego introduced a few years back, but I haven’t bought a single set in three years, so it’s not happening.

The asymmetrical hands came to be because I didn’t have enough parts to build a second non bow-wielding hand, I just decided to push the narrative that this bug is actually a feature (cyberpunk developers pretending that their game isn’t broken)

So, you liked 3 out of 8. Good enough result in in my book

Speaking of book, :eye: :eye:

You never know

I’m going to steal your vertebra and drink the spinal cord from it
