Hey all.
So I like the toa Inika, don’t judge me. I think as a concept the Inika are fantastic. They look interesting, cool and over all very good.
I also like the Mahri, less than their Inika forms over all but they have many more unique design features than the Inika, so I thought, why not combine them, take the Inika shape and add Mahri elements to them.
The only issue I had was mask choice, so the logical Studio decision was to combine the masks together, which actually worked a lot better than I expected.
So lets start with Jaller.
Jaller was an easy one. The main thing that I like about the Mahri version are the colours and the weapon. Combined with the Inika build and gold armor and we get this.
Nice and easy with the weapons as well, modified versions of the Inika sword and the Mahri sword.
Lastly the masks used and combined together.
Next up we have Matoro.
Matoro isn’t too different to Jaller, the main things I wanted from the Mahri form was the colours, the weapon and the shoulder armor.
As for weapons, modified version of the Mahri claws and I wanted the sword to be nice and bulky.
Again the combination of the 2 masks.
Next up is Kongu.
Kongu was a tough one, to be honest there isn’t much I wanted from the Mahri version, so all he keeps is the feet and the breathing tank, which I moved to the back and technically the short sword. The teal is from his Matoran form.
Weapons, I wanted a more complex version of the Inika crossbow and story wise Mahri Kongu had a small bladed weapon before going with the duel cordak blasters so I did that as a short sword.

Again the combination of the 2 masks.
Allright onto Hahli.
Hahli Mahri isn’t too different to her Inika version to be honest, so the main thing from Mahri is the Wing fins and kind of the weapon.
As for weapons I wanted to combine her weapons together, Like many people I reinterpreted the Claw as a Trident and to make it more interesting it’s double ended 
Again the combination of the 2 masks.
Alright, onto Nuparu.
Nuparu Inika is probably my favorite of them, he really is cool and just like Hahli he retains a lot of that in Mahri form. Just a note is the claws, I integrated those directly into the hands but the main things from Mahri are the shield and thigh armor.
As for weapons he still keeps his Laser drill and the Mahri shield.
Again the combination of the 2 masks.
Lastly we have Hewkii.
Hewkii probably my least favorite Mahri version but he had potential, honestly he keeps a lot from his Mahri form, Thigh armor, half of the colour scheme, the weapons and his asymmetrical right arm. Which does have a hand now but it’s only got 2 fingers and a different sculpt to the left. He is actually my favorite out of all of these builds 
His weapone are very much a fusion of the Inika axe and chains and the Mahri spear and chains.
Again the combination of the 2 masks.
Lastly a Nice group shot…This took so long to render…
As you can see they have some design elements in common. 2 use the fat inika feet, 2 the spikey inika feet and 2 the rahkshi feet.
3 use one set of shoulder armor and 3 the other same for the torso armor.
2 Sword/blade users 2 Spear/polearm users and 2 projectile/off hand weapon users.
This project took way longer than it should have to complete but I’m honestly super happy with the results.
Okay, quick update.
Since one of the first mocs I made in Studio was Jovan (I only posted him on BZpower not here) I figured I should update him into this new style too. So he has no extra glowing bits cus duh he isn’t actually an inika.
Magnetic Bolt Launcher.
Lastly a quick comparison with the original one from a couple of months ago.
Well since @Kamoranova5 suggested to make the Silver Toa from the DS version of Bionicle Heroes, here we are.
Well here ya go 
Mostly just a Jaller colour swap but I think that’s pretty much what the character model was anyway.
I tried making the weapon look interesting but it’s really just an over designed Zamor launcher, so kinda had to improv a bit.
Yeah doing an over the shoulder shot kinda trying to look like an FPS angle didn’t work out too well lol
Decided to do the Matoran version as well for the fun of it.
As always all comments and feedback are very welcome.
Also credits for the parts and colours go to.
