Mods To the 2016 Sets

Cocoa · June 1, 2016, 9:23pm

I really enjoy these revamps. You improved on all of them quite well, especially Lewa’s shoulders and Kopaka’s gold.

Though this may be considered an illegal connection, this is quite satisfying for anyone who revamps the Uniter of Jungle. The design is by Logan McOwen. Fun fact, this was made way before the leaked images, before we even had a clue the Vorox armor would be coming back in various recolors. Kind of a coincidence.

Moa · June 1, 2016, 9:30pm

I don’t think it is… maybe only when strain is put on it, like when you attach anything over a 3mm shell.

ltranc · June 1, 2016, 10:51pm

I actually considered that while revamping Lewa.
I just didn’t do it because I need that green on the lower legs. The silver was too much. TOO MUUUUUUUUUCH

also because Lewa would remain the midget of the group

There is a bone in the size needed that is in Trans. Apple/Bright Green in the Umarak the Hunter set, if that’s a good fix.

ltranc · June 2, 2016, 12:29am

Just tried it but not really digging it.
But it’s the thought that counts

GK733 · June 4, 2016, 3:16pm

Yeah, I might do this, it will look like something uniter Lewa has.

This is also a really minor fix, it will make it so you can spin the saw more individually of the shield. The original configuration uses the grey pin which has too much friction.

Moa · June 4, 2016, 3:17pm

So sort of like Tahu Uniter? I think they would also work well on the forearms and feet too. Now that I think about it, I sort of wish they produced transblue feet.

(Note: I posted this earlier in Mods to the 2015 sets, but I think it can go here too.)
QUESTION:
What do you get when The Protector of Fire wears the Golden Mask of Fire, and runs into Ikir?

ANSWER:
The United Protectors of FIRE!

Now here’s another question:

What do you get when The Protector of Ice wears the Golden Unity Mask of Ice, and runs into Melum?

ANSWER:
The United Protectors of ICE!

How the United Protectors of Fire are built.

NARMOTO: "Hey!"

IZOTAR: "Your mask fell off Narmoto. PICK IT UP."
Melum roars with laughter.

IZOTAR: "We still love you bro."
Melum and Izotar hug Narmoto.

And here is the other half of my Bionicle 2016 Winter wave revamps!(or 4/7 if you prefer)

Starting with Tahu!

Just wanna get this out there, design stolen from @LoganMcOwen

Just liked the design and the swords on the back caught my eye and when I remove them, Tahu just looks empty. Really empty. Like something’s missing. I gave him red hands.

I got some red marker and highlighted the stuff on his torso. Too much GOLD.

I used red bohrok eyes because I used the other trans-orange eyes on my Kulta revamp. Also coverage on the lower legs.

Next to his creature, Ikir.

Not much changed. Eyes, red “hands”, and a flame on the tail.

I gave Ikir green eyes.

The flame.

Now here’s the stand I made for Ikir. Random parts that just hold together and allow him to hover above the ground.
He can either be actively flying to who knows where to…

Just staying in one place above the ground.

Here is Tahu and Ikir united! The swords match up nicely with the wings and just the whole premise of PHOENIX TAHU! is gr8.

Next to Gali.

Leg design from @LoganMcOwen, however the upper legs are the same length as her 2015 upper legs and the spikes on the knee armor are small. The lower arm has been extended, with a 5-long dark azure shell over it with an orange spike and the upper arm is a black bone with a dark trans-blue shell.

The upper arms are more clear.

Back shot.

I made Akida’s stand taller.

Akida has pink eyes.

New tail design, uses 2 of those shortest bones.

I streamlined Akida more. Got rid of those bushings.

Sharkgirl Gali!

Pohat-O!
The arm design is by @LoganMcOwen.

I gave Pohatu completely burnt orange arms with silver spikes.

The lower legs and the shells on those lower legs have all been extended.

Ketar’s core design and function by @LoganMcOwen. Just looked so GOOD!

Gave Ketar gold-yellow-orange-ish eyes.

Ketar from the side.

From the top, I got some studs to cover up holes and give more color.

Pohatu and Ketar united!

Onto Umarak the Hunter. I changed his hand designs to the ones @LoganMcOwen gave him, had his ankle spikes put on his upper legs, and in place of them the extra trans-green bohrok eyes I had from revamping Lewa. I also had his shoulders placed higher and his back, lower leg, things with armor attached. Man I really did take a lotta things from Logan. and that bag got in the picture

Him dual wielding.

With both his weapons stored.

From the back.
AND MY BACKPACK AND THE BAG. I GOT THE DOUBLE COMBO.

Where would Umarak be without his trusty Shadow Traps? Also I made an ice one.
I gave them eyes based on the respective Bohrok of the same element, but swapped the eyes of the Earth ST and the Water ST.

Now for Umarak and Shadow Trap derps!

Fire Trap: yay
Umarak: sigh

Stone Trap: derp
Umarak: facepalm

Water Trap: RIP in pieces
Umarak: AGGGGGHHHH

Jungle Trap: uh a skull spider
Umarak: YOU BRING ME SKULL SPIDERS? WHY?! THIS IS A CREATURE, THAT IS NOT!

Earth Trap: me no can stand
Umarak: Okay let’s aim this bow towards my face…

Ice Trap: shrekt
Umarak: I can’t stand this. stab

Moa · June 5, 2016, 1:34pm

1/10 because you colored the pieces.
/s

The mods look very nice though. I liked the way you used the Bohrok eyes on Tahu.

Hafynx · June 7, 2016, 4:47pm

I’ve made a new head for the beasts…

Moa · June 7, 2016, 9:09pm

Pretty neat. This is the best we will get to it saying closed, right?

TeslaEffect · June 7, 2016, 9:39pm

Are you able to move the jaw without the mask falling off?

Cause thats what I want to see in a Mod, movable beast jaws that do not pop up the mask.

Ned_Flanders · June 11, 2016, 2:27pm

Recently getting Gali Uniter, I wasn’t that happy with the set, so decided to make some modifications. The first of which was to full in the enormous empty space the Vorox Armor had created on the leg. After some experimentation, I found a method that uses both a Vorox Armor piece and a CCBS she’ll at the same time. Hopefully this can help some people out.

A look at the construction:

Hopefully this is helpful for those trying to fix this issue.

Saxton · June 11, 2016, 2:25pm

Looks a lot better now. Nice mod.

Moa · June 11, 2016, 4:56pm

Nice. Simple, but effective.

ltranc · June 11, 2016, 11:58pm

So earlier I posted my minimal mods to Akida, now I’ve made some new mods that in my opinion make the appearance better.

Akida.

I made Akida thinner by removing those dark grey pieces.

I put the fin on the back.

That’s how it looks.

Fidda · June 14, 2016, 9:42am

play stippling made QB look acceptable

Altair · June 14, 2016, 10:37am

Man that guy has some serious shakey hand problems.
Too much coffee is never a good thing .
The revamp is ok though.

Moa · June 14, 2016, 10:44am

I mean… the revamp dosen’t make him look much better. I don’t think I like this revamp.
