Summary
âEntering the treacherous swamp of Twitter Nui, the fans must be prepared for anything, Makooti has mutated into terrifying real life responsibilities-forever on the hunt! The fans will have to use all their skills and obscure lore knowledge to stay alive. Alone, fan become the prey, even die hard fans need backupâŚâ *sha boom!!!
(They dodge being cancelled or something idk and arrive at Eljayâs digital doorstep)
âOnly unity will make them strong in the search for the illusive Eljay! At the heart of the Bionicle fandom the fans hit the DM button that opens the legendary one on one conversation. The core of the mystery and the source of the contests continuing!â
âDeep inside the digital realm the fans are equipped for the final confrontation, with new opinions of what Lariska looks like and amazing thoughts on the Hagah polls. Makooti steals the Black Metru Torsos, the chase is on! Division must be stopped if the fans are to succeed in their ultimate quest! Reboot G1 or submit to the paua of MakootiâŚwait-â
âDive into the darkness (Twitter is pretty dark yo), ignite the TTV Staff within, now there is no turning backâŚlet the contests beginâŚâ
(I mean let the contests continueâŚidk I realized halfway the word substitutions donât make sense, Iâm not saying hit up Eljay in DMâs btw, patience is a forth virtue that we need right now.)
Guys please heed Sabreâs words of wisdom, turn away from snide remarks and letâs stop squabbling like Gukko BirdsâŚ
They will be back, when they will be back, this too shall pass.
Although ngl I might actually finish my unfinished entry before theyâre back, that would be cool.
My entry isnât there
Thatâs cause if it were it would steal all the votes
This might actually be the worst part of these delays.
[EDIT: Rereading this, I realize I made it sound like you finishing your entry would be bad. That was super bad phrasing on my part]
The amount of time between voting periods kind of sucks, but itâs ultimately not a huge deal, as others have said many times before; itâs been ten years, we can wait a few more weeks; weâll get results eventually; etc.
What is a bigger deal, though, is that a time limit was put on the entries for a now-seemingly-arbitrary reason; if the voting isnât going to start right after the entry periods, then whatâs even the point of having an entry period? It doesnât do anything to speed up the contests, but it does limit the time and effort that can be put into entries.
If thereâs going to be multiple months between voting periods, why canât people be submitting entries for the entirety of that time?
Nah I see what youâre saying, I think it would be better in future that they timed prolonged breaks with the entry period maybe? Of course they would need staff moderating entries as they come in but still, such a method would be better.
We will be issuing a statement momentarily in a new topic. Stay tuned.
Alright, weâre reopening this topic. We hope to have the contest results posted soon, but weâre going to (as usual) wait on Greg before the big unveiling.
For anyone that would like to continue discussing the contests, read this.
It is very easy to discuss these things and not feed into drama or negative feelings. The goal is to have a good time, and mindset is the first step in that. Be respectful, be kind.
Ah, quick edit because I forgot to mention it earlier. The next contest held will be Tuyet. Weâre going to be taking our break for the holidays and to recover from the Toa Hagah ordeal, as well as to attend to any refinements/improvements we can. Stay tuned for the next Nak & Jay. That said, expect Tuyetâs contest to be early 2022.
Best way to help out at this juncture would be to find any canon information on her appearance and make us aware of it. Itâs my understanding that all we know is that sheâs a blue Toa of Water, that looks like a Toa, with a mask of an unknown shape and a Broadsword with barbs that do more damage if removed from something. If there is something we missed, let us know!
Thank you,
-Eljay
Couldnât find anything else on tuyets apperance but made this index for toa canon heights (mutated toa, transformed toa and normal toa are present in this scale) This is also nothing that should be a hard rule but a guideline for all future toa sized characters in my personal opinion should fall within this index. its sorted tallest to shortest, the avtoran limbs for tahu and takanuva stars donât exist in stud.io so iâve just measured that piece in studs and let the torso hover the appropriate distance. Beyond that height with masks does not matter in this comparison as this is more a general take on toa heights. Also some of them are more built than others but Iâve omitted details where it doesnât affect height or the build.
If you disagree as Eljay said be respectful, If you are one of the people from the subreddit discord server who has by their own admission stated that they only argue with me to get a reaction out of me, please keep it in your pants

Is anyone else surprised to find out Helryx and the nuva were the same height?
Not really but its interesting. Iâm more suprised at how many of the inika builds are the height of some metru builds though
I was. It was such a coincidence.
Also Iâm really excited to start the Tuyet contest because I have a tuyet moc and all I have to do is get the parts irl
Iâm not surprised. The fandom as a whole wanted articulated limbs, and to have those, you have to increase the scale. My entry was about the same height as onua and everyone complained about lack of articulation and use of system, even though the system pieces were more specialized ones that match bionicle pieces very closely. There are plenty of minifigure helmets and weapons that match bionicle. âToo much systemâ is now an inside joke my brother and I use now whenever we read nitpicky complaints online because of all the criticism my helryx and artakha mocs got from people with a poor working knowledge of how lego pieces actually work.
