BIONICLE G1 Canon Contests Discussion & Questions

Hey look they made Faber into an action figure

I think people just wanted a relaxing, controversy-free discussion for a change :stuck_out_tongue:

Perp3tual’s intention was to create unnamed Kanohi designs for each Hagah, so the true appearance of the Mask of Growth, Clairvoyance, etc. would still be unconfirmed. Not sure if Galva’s masks were intended to be the Hagah’s reshaped masks, or the true Kanohi shapes; but given his masks’ popularity, I’m concerned if the latter is the case.

It all makes sense.

You can close the topic now, I think we’ve all reached an agreement

I don’t think people should be AZURE of her colors, there could be some VARIANce in what that term means.

what have I done

Very fancy. I do think the trans pink eyes would annoy people who wanted to reproduce this, though. Personally, I’d also prefer her to have a different shield design so she looks distinct from a Toa Hagah. Considering she already has a metallic colour, we should avoid making the Hagah look like they didn’t actually undergo an upgrade when put next to a regular Toa.

Re:the coat. It isn’t even LEGO’s azure (both introduced to the palette in 2011). Bricklink calling it that doesn’t make it be that color. Either a) it exists outside of Lego’s usual colors because it’s cloth, or b) it’s a blue color from that era, most likely Mata blue.

Regardless, I agree that azure just means blue here.

That is objectively incorrect.

A dictatorship implies Eljay’s the sole supreme leader.

Mesonak runs the contests with him, so it’s really an oligarchy.

so.

um.

can we not?


…COLORS, amirite guys! Let’s talk about Tuyet some more since that’s pending. How many people here would only want to see a Tuyet with some amount of silver?

A Tuyet moc idea I came up with is metru blue and black, but that just feels bland.

I liked the m. blue / gunmetal concept

EDIT: further thoughts, I’d only want her to be gunmetal if Nidhiki was silver. And he’s not.

I’m not sure about her being silver. It works but I would rather see a different color instead.

I used purple on mine

I like the idea of metru blue + black + gunmetal though.

I went ahead and made the rest of it chrome, too (chrome black hands and ankles, chrome silver head), and picked a more agreeable eye color. (couldn’t be arsed to do the shield)

Back in the Artakha contest, when the topic of sideline canonizations was broached in regards to the Staff of Artakha, I distinctly remember Eljay mentioning it as well. Can’t remember precisely what he said (I’ll try to find the quote after this)(found it) , but I’m pretty sure he was indifferent to the idea. I don’t think it should be a mandatory addition, but if people want to add it I don’t see the problem with it (although if MOCs are presented with it, I imagine a lot of the red Bohrok eyes being used).

Okay, but unironically I do want a pink element.

Also, per the metallics conversation: As I said a ways back, I don’t want Nidhiki (or most of the other Toa) to have metallic armor, because it would only devalue the ā€œspecialnessā€ it’s supposed to convey. ā€œIf everyone has special metallic armor, no one has special metallic armorā€.

Not to make this topic even more chaotic, BUT…

On the note of the Toa Hagah and THEIR color schemes, I was looking at the official Rahaga sets, and I believe they provide some clues as to which characters have which metallic colors.

Rahaga

You’ll notice four of the Rahaga have a rhotuka spinner matching their primary color, while two have a metallic rhotuka. These two would be Iruini and Gaaki. Iruini’s Rhotuka is ā€œFlat Dark Goldā€ matching his set, while Gaaki’s is ā€œFlat Silverā€. SEE! I knew she wasn’t gold!!

This discovery supports my idea for the ideal colors for the team, as two members are known to have the same metallic color, (Gaaki is silver,) meaning there is likely a 3:3 ratio, a 2:2:2 ratio, or maybe even a 3:2:1 ratio. If anything though, it disproves a 1:1:1:1:1:1 ratio.

I was a little disappointed though when I found there’s more to the story…

This image isn’t the best, but as you can see, the marketing images for Bomonga show him with a black rhotuka, when in reality the set only includes a ā€œFlat Silverā€ rhotuka. Should we chose to follow the colors used in these sets, now Bomonga Gaaki and Norik are all ā€œFlat Silverā€. Unless we chose a 3:2:1 ratio or a… uh… 3:1:1:1 ratio, than likely the team has a 3:3 ratio with Kualus Iruini and Pouks wearing ā€œFlat Dark Goldā€ armor. I do not want a gold Kualus, as he’d look like a toa of light, and a gold pouks just doesn’t look good IMO.

So we have probably four options;

1: The 3:3 ratio I previously mentioned. I’m sure plenty would like it. I won’t.
2: Some other ratio that’s asymmetric
3: We ignore Bomonga’s in-set rhotuka color because the marketing did too
4: (The best option) we just ignore this entirely as no one’s gonna care anyway

You’re a bit late to that realization, AND the train has already left the station.

I’ve always been a bit disappointed that psionics wasn’t purple and gold rather than blue and gold. Blue already has extra representation given it’s also part of lightning (and lighter shades occasionally as an accent to ice) and purple was never used at all outside of minor accents to earth.

(Also I just like purple and gold together and want more excuses to use it :upside_down_face:)

Maybe we can get away with indigo…

As I said before, all blue, all the time.

Also, if they’re allowed, she’s got some Nui Stone shards in her abdomen.

I was just about to do that. I’m liking this idea more and more.

Bomonga’s Rhotuka was all over the place, so I’m fine ignoring it.

The bigger point there is Gaaki’s silver Rhotuka, since it implies her metallic colour is silver. Silver Gaaki’s looking pretty likely right now too, with a majority of her remaining entries being silver. Plus, the only alternatives are Psionics Gaaki or Standard Water Gaaki, so I’d be happy (ish) with Silver Gaaki.

If we get silver Gaaki, then I’d say the best option is a 2/2/2 split; silver Gaaki, gold Bomonga, and gunmetal Pouks and Kualus.

No kidding; six of the fifteen characters in these contests have blue as a major colour (Helryx, Gaaki, Orde, Tuyet, Varian, Chiara). Seven if you count Lariska’s teal as a shade of blue.

If Marendar ends up being blue, then over half of these contests characters will be blue.
