BIONICLE G1 Canon Contests Discussion & Questions

there is no Rhotuka spinner piece in studio

The Biopack for Studio has Rhotuka, although you won’t find it searching for that word. It’s under the name “Propellor 3 Blade 5D with Outer Ring”.

Oh, my. Yes it actually is, thank you very much! But I still think that it is an important question.

Dear TTV,

I have another question. I understand that I should submit a link to my Artakha entry’s new topic in the main Artakha “Meet the Maker” topic, but is it also acceptable to also have links to the “Meet the Maker” topic and the topic that lists the Artakha entries within my Artakha entry’s new topic in addition? Thank you in anticipation.

I don’t know if this is related but how many artworks do you think would try to replicate the art style in the Karzahni book? I was thinking that when the art contest comes, there may be a bit of over saturation of this style.

Dear TTV, I understand that the topic where I submit my Artahka entry must be mentioned in a link in the ‘Meet the Maker’ topic. If I do this, is it acceptable to also provide a link to the entry list and a link to the Meet the Maker topic in my contest entry topic in addition? I ask this as I am uploading my entry and I’m worried that if I do everything I have explained, that I might be disqualified. please let me know what is acceptable as I do not wish to break any rules. EDIT: Thank you for letting me know, Eljay.

I mean, you can, but it isn’t exactly helpful, I guess. I don’t really know why people keep doing it. But no one will stop you.

Does Toa Pouks have to be brown because stone people aren’t always brown anymore and I think it would be cool if Pouks was like yellow or something

I have absolutely no authourity over this subject, but I would suspect he would have to be brown because his Rahaga form was brown.

But then again, Hewkii was burnt orange and tan as a Matoran, and turned keet-orange and gunmetal when he became a toa. I don’t think he will have to be brown (although, then again again stone characters didn’t turn a different color until 2006, and the hagah sets were released in 2005 :thinking:)

I have no authority over the contests but I would assume that, as we have no direct evidence of Hordika Mutations causing changes in colour that we can safely say Pouks needs to be Brown.

There are rare earth metals that can be considered “yellow” though

Technically, didn’t the Metru-Hordika go from their primary color and grey, to their primary color and silver?

I mean, yes? But generally speaking so-called “armour” hasn’t been considered the color of an individual. Norrik is Red and Silver as a Toa, but only Red as a Rahaga. Iruini is the same, Green/Gold as a Toa but only Green as a Rahaga.

There’s no evidence of someone Red getting mutated and becoming green, is my point, so it’s safe to assume that Pouks’ primary color will have to be brown as He’s a Toa of Stone.

Canon only dictates that their armour was made of “precious metals” and therefore it would be easy to make Yellow an accent color for him.

alrighty then, good point.

I mean, the Toa Metru changed colour when becoming Turaga, and Hewkii changed colour when becoming a Toa.

But those were transformations, involving a massive change in internal energy levels. What happened to the Hagah was a Roodaka mutation.

So, while there is precedent for characters changing colour, it was under different circumstances. Do with that what you will.

At the end of the day, I want Pouks to be Metru brown, perhaps with metallic purple as a Hagah armour colour.

And give him a custom Kanohi, but say it is in the shape of the Pehkui. Then we can get the true shape of all six Hagah masks, since the true shape of Pouks’s mask is already known.

I’d just stick with the colors that the Rahaga had, such as Iruini having green armor and a gold spinner. I think the answer is pretty simple but more power to anyone who wants to try a different color. Personally, I can’t see why Iruini and Norik would keep their colors only for Gaaki and Pouks to have theirs changed to something different.

I know is my own fault and responsibility, but I spend several minutes looking for the way to create my own topic to submit my entry. I didn’t know what to do and I have to look into this topic.
The buttom is literally a blue dot at the corner of the screen that I easily confused with the background and it doesn’t even have the “+”, something that I would expect. I already make some topics in the past but that was some time ago and I don’t remember it was like that.
Once I discovered the way to make my own topic, I start to upload my photos which took two minutes after the closing time for the contest… I’m really upset about that and I know is really dumb and silly but remember this a contest for everybody in the Bionicle comunity and the TTV boards should be really easy to acces in order to allow everybody interested enough to be part of this wonderful time… I know there is already the counterargument that you should know that before hand but it was a really bizarre situation to me. Anyway, I just want to share my thoughts.

I totally understand being confused with the interface and I’m super sorry that happened to you, I’d have your back to petition to allow you in anyways given that it’s a difference of two minutes or so. Wouldn’t want all your hard work to be invalidated off a technicality

Seconded.

So are we having a week long waiting period for the polls or will they be announced sometime tomorrow?

I think that they were just waiting for Barraki124 to get the breakdowns
