Hello, thank you for checking out of my post. I’ve been quite busy making Mocs this month. I’d like to share 8 of the best ones with you all. I love hearing all of your comments, positive and constructive!
First Moc: Marendar
I googled Marendar and was looking at Mocs when I saw this image from Reddit. I am not the original owner of this image, just here for context.
I got so inspired I made my own take on it. I used silver as the main color since Marendar is a robot. Green was chosen as the accent color since I have a lot of Metru Green pieces and struggle find uses for them. Here’s my take:
I imagined this is what Marendar would look like having absorbed a Toa of Air’s energy, hence the wings and jetpack thrusters. I feel like I read on BS01 that Marendar can absorb Toa power. It stands quite tall and has 2 points of articulation in the head and neck, 3 in each arm, three in the waste, 7 in each leg. I’m not counting the skull spider claws as articulation. The claws are big enough to grip and hold a Toa Mata build.
Second Moc: Spirit Dear
I have a weird amount of keet-orange. In the last few parts bags I’ve found there was a Toa Mata Nui (no Ignika though), a Glatorian Mata Nui, and three Keetongus. I’ve never liked the keet-orange color very much, I’ve always thought it looked closer to yellow than orange. This moc originally started as a tank funny enough because of all the keet-orange technic lift arms. I was thinking about the forest spirit from Princess Mononoke and went from there. The rider I imaged as being some kind of frail old Matoran. Didn’t add any weapons, I like to think the Spirit Deer and rider are benevolent.
Moc 3: Desert Warlord Tuma
I’ve always wanted Tuma and one day I’ll get one. The last part bag I found was largely 2009 Bionicle parts and had 1/3 of a Tuma in it. So I made the next best thing. Tried to make him look rocky like Roxtus’ motif.
Moc 4-6: WIP Toa Team
I’m in the process of making a Toa team of six. I currently have fire, water, and earth all made. I got to work with CCBS for the first time which was fun, there was a Tahu Master of Fire in the last parts bag. Toa of fire also has an AV-Matoran connection point on the back. One day I’ll make a G2 Creature style build to accompany him. The Toa of water is inspired by a moc I posted to the message boards years ago - Gali Nuva Revamp. I wanted to take what worked and keep it and leave all the cringe behind. Still not sure how well I did, but it looks better than the original. The pearl gold in the Toa of earth is literally all of my gold pieces haha, I wanted to use them for something. The scratch on the mask isn’t from me and is kinda annoying.
Moc 7: ATV
I found a technic stunt truck at a flea market for $5. Wanted to see if I could make a Bionicle vehicle out of it. Looks more like a Mario Kart, but the function stayed intact. Pull back and the Matoran ride zooms off.
Moc 8: Bordakh Titan
I liked how Orange and Blue look together, I know its not for everyone. I got a single ratchet joint in the last parts bag I bought. I wanted to make a titan Vahki. I image larger ones would have 4 arms. The Vahki “transformation” is still intact due to the ratchet joint in the pelvis.
Thanks for looking! If there is something to be improved on, please let me know.
