So a while back, I made some combo models. Even further back, I made some more combo models. Why do I keep making topics? So I can get more views Because why not?
Without further ado…
First off, we have The Nawibo:
This creature roams the mountains of Okoto, searching for Villagers to devour. With its infrared vision and sharp claws, only a Toa could stand to fight it…
So yeah, this is an Alt-Model of Obi-Wan. It came out a lot more basic than I originally intended, but I’m okay how it turned out. The IFB claws in the front flip around, but I forgot to take a picture of that…
Bootleg Level: 1/5
So this is where I explain how “bootleg” a model is, which basically means how stable it is, how many ‘illegal’ techniques it uses, etc. This one is is pretty solid barring the face. The face, while secure, is not terribly stable. With very little effort, one can ■■■■■ it so the eyes are going everywhere. Again, I forgot to take pictures of this, but yeah. You kinda have to position it just right to get it like you see here.
Some more pics.

Now we have my Crumbo Model made from the leftovers.
It’s name is Fritz.
Next, we have The Lava Hawk:
A carnivorous bird of prey, the Lava Hawk is largely found in the Region of Fire. Using their razor-sharp talons and beak, they will attack smaller Rahi and feed them to their chicks. They usually leave Protectors and Villagers alone, but be careful not to get too close to their nests!
Yeah, this is a combo model of Narmato (Protector of Fire) and Kulta (Skull Grinder). Fun fact: Not including Ekimu and the Mask Stand, Kulta and Narmato have a single red pin. Have you ever tried to build something with no red pins? IT BE HARD YO.
Granted this combo didn’t even use the one that i had, but that’s besides the point
also I’m aware that this bird doesn’t have the right type of beak to be a bird of prey but its bionicle so lets pretend it does
Bootleg Level: 1/5
Again, a pretty stable MOC. The reason that I have it on the scale at all is the head. The mask is under a bit of stress, and the blade on the top is kept in place by the mask.

More Crumbo Models:
This is Arnold Kilme’s older brother, Joshua Kilme.
Next on the agenda is The Protector Kaita, Kisuget:
Legends tell of an ancient ritual that allow the Protectors to unite into one being, the wise Kisuget. With its Blaster Hammer and Elemental Dagger, Kisuget would be a tremendous help in the battle against the Skull Spiders. If only the ritual could be discovered…
Okay, so this is a Combo of Kivoda, Vizuna, and Korgot. I tried to make a larger torso to reflect the nature of the Kaita, but that meant I had to make longer arms. This mean that I had to use THOSE STUPID ELBOWS and the 2 jointed legs. The weapons were admittedly the last thing I did, so they’re a bit lackluster. And yes, that yellow bit on the shoulder bothers me too. I just didn’t have a way to get around it.
Bootleg Level: 3/5
The torso on this thing is under a lot of stress. In addition, the shoulders tend to flop around a bit. Other than that, it’s pretty good.

Now we have the Crumbo Model, Kamen Rider OO.
Using his Infinity Sword and Voodoo staff, he shall defeat the yummy creatures of the island!
Next up, we have my favorite combo, The Tarakea:
What’s scarier than a shark? A land shark. The Tarakea is amphibious, dwelling in both the land and the sea. It uses its powerful fists to knock out a foe, then devours them with its sharp teeth and claws. When underwater, it uses its tail to swim at high speeds. This creature might even be too much for a Toa to handle…
This is a Combo Model of Onua and Gali, and I love how it turned out. Most times, when I make these things, I have to go through many versions before I’m fully satisfied. But with this MOC, everything just came together amazingly. It started off being more of a lizard, similar to this:
But then I added that jaw to his head, and I instantly knew he had to be a shark. Now he was a Lizard/Shark thing that had giant fists, so I decided I’d make him the G2 version of both the Tarakava and the Takea.
Bootleg Level: 4/5
Yeah, this one is a bit bootleg. The fin on the top is held there purely by friction, which means the head is entirely immobile. The way the torso armor is placed means the legs have to be splayed out like they are in the picture. Otherwise, the BA armor will pop off. I’m not sure, but the mask on the tail might also be under a bit of stress.
11/10/16 Edit: Link to Instructions:
This MOC also came with a Crumbo Model:
This is Kamen Rider OO’s vehicle, and some heads that he found along the way.
Now we have The Ussal:
The Ussal is found in the Regions of Stone and Earth. A strangely docile creature, the Ussal can be domesticated and is often used as transport by Villagers. Using the horns on its head, one can control the motions of the Ussal, and even have it clamp its powerful claws!
This is a Combo of Pohatu and Skull Scorpio. I’ll be the first to admit that this doesn’t look a lot like a crab, so I decided this Ussal would be closer related to a beetle. Not much else to say.
Bootleg Level: 1/5
This is actually really solid. The only issues are the mask, which can kinda ■■■■■ around a bit, and the claws which are not secure. At all.
11/10/16 Edit: Link to Instructions:
Now for the Crumbo Model.
This is…some sort of dragon…thing…
Lastly, we have The Messenger:
An odd little creature, Messengers are found all over the Ancient City. In days of old, they would transport materials for Ekimu and Makuta. Now that both are in a deep sleep, they roam freely, searching for a Mask Maker who will never return…
Aight so this one was a Combo of Ekimu and Skull Slicer, and he has had a LOOOOONG journey. It all started when I tried to make a combo of Lewa and Slicer. Sounds easy, right? Well, I started off with a grasshopper-like thing, then didn’t like it so I scrapped it. I then tried to make another bug. It didn’t work. I tried to make a cheetah. It didn’t work. I tried to make a tripod-thing. It didn’t work. I tried to make a genie bug. It didn’t work. Eventually, I just dropped Lewa and added in Ekimu. It ended up becoming this bird…thing…with golden armor.
IDK, I’m not super behind this MOC, but figured I’d post it regardless.
Bootleg Level: 1/5
This MOC would be a 0/5 on the Bootleg Scale were it not for the stress on his mask. Other than that, it’s a pretty legitimate model.
So an interesting part of the Messenger is its ability to transport tools for the Mask Makers, for example, a shield, or a Hammer, or a wrench/claw…thing.

Last but not least, we have the final Crumbo Model:
I’ll let you guys name this one.
and that concludes today’s combo model post
tune in next time for something idk
