Here are all of my Revamp Plans at the moment.

---

Tahu: Replace the arms with 2015 armor;

1. Replace Skull Grinder Armor Add Ons with Piston Armor Add Ons,
2. Replace 4 M Gold Armor Pieces with 5 M Red Armor Pieces.

3. I’m not sure about this, but I may replace 3 M Trans. Neon Orange Armor Pieces with 3 M Red Armor Pieces.

4. I’m not sure about this, but that may mean I will reverse the place of the armor pieces.

I may change his lower legs as well, but I’m not sure, as I already like them.

---

Gali: Modify Legs;

1. Shrink Ankles (by removing that Extender Piece),
2. Add Trans. Light Blue 2 Pin Hole Bones,
3. Add 5 M Azure Armor Pieces along with Flame Armor Add Ons to Bones,
4. Add 5 M Azure Armor Pieces to upper leg limbs,
5. Add Orange Vorox Armor to right upper leg (in a different way than official) to look like a “skirt”.

Modfiy Arms to 2015 Variant Arms;

1. Add Tahu’s Arm Attachement,
2. Add Protector Limbs,
3. Add 4 M Trans. Blue Armor Pieces along with Piston Armor Add Ons to Protector Limbs
4. Add 4 M Azure Armor to upper arm limbs.
5. Add 4 M Trans. Blue Armor to lower arm limbs.

6. I’m not sure about this, but I may add Trans. Light Blue Hands.

8. I’m not sure about this, but I may replace the Trans. Light Blue lower arm limbs with Black limbs.

---

Pohatu: Modify Legs;

1. Replace Silver Feet with Dark Brown Feet
2. Replace Silver Armor Pieces with Dark Orange/Brown Armor Pieces

I may also change limbs, or limb styling.

Modify Arms;

1. I will either give Kopaka’s Vorox Armor Connections to Pohatu, with some color changing and I may also add on to it,
2. or I will give Pohatu Vorox Armor connected to a Protector Limb, connected to a ball, using Tahu’s Arm Connection.
3. If I use Method 2, I will put 4 M Dark Orange Armor on Upper Arms,
4. I will replace 3 M Trans. Neon Green Armor with 3 M Dark Brown Armor on lower arms.

Modify Weapon;

1. I will take away the “Crystal Spear”.

2. I’m not sure about this, but I may combine Rey’s Weapon into his

---

Kopaka

Modify Legs;

1. Either use Gold Variant of Unification Armor, or use 6 M Shelld used on 2015 Kopaka, and add those along with Gold Piston Armor to his Lower Legs.

2. I’m not sure about this, but I may keep his upper legs as is, or add some 5 M White Armor instead.

Modify Arms;

2. Add Protector Limbs,
3. Add Gold “Paw” to P Limb to use as Shoulder Pads

7. I’m not sure about this, but I may use 3 M or 4 M White Armor for the lower arms instead of 5 M White Armor.

---

Onua:
Modify Arms;

1. If Rumors are true about Onua having asymmetrical upper arms, I will make them symmetrical, by using another Trans. Purple Bone from my collection, since I will have some extras.

---

Lewa:

Modify Legs;

1. I’m not sure about this, but I may replace the Trans. Apple Green Bohrok Eyes with Yellow Bohrok Eyes if it gives him more color.

Modify Arms;

1. I’m not sure about this, but I may also add Yellow Bohrok Eyes to the shoulders.

2. I’m not sure about this, but I may use Tahu’s Arm Attachement, add P Limbs, and attach the Vorox Armor to “Hand” Pieces. This will leave room for a CCBS Bone, which I can attach some Yellow Armor on to.

Modify Weapons;

1. I’m not too sure about this, but I may make Lewa a big crystal sword.

2. I’m not too sure about this, but I may make Lewa an Ax.

[Gwideon]

why are we doing this we haven’t gotten the sets. Wait for us to actually get the sets to do this.

[Plunko]

@Gwideon

why are we doing this we haven’t gotten the sets. Wait for us to actually get the sets to do this.

We basically have basically all the photos we need to see if we can fix the sets.

[Arceane64]

I’m surprised that I didn’t notice this topic sooner! Meh, I got nothing to do!

Creatures: I’m still debating giving them painted eyes. I’ll have to see if I like them when I get them in hand.

Tahu:
Colors: Over the months the gold and use of trans orange and trans red (that shoulder armor had better be trans red, or I’ll be sad) has grown on me quite a bit. I might experiment with solid red on the arms a bit and see what happens.

Build: The entire ‘samurai to ninja’ thing that I’ve observed from Master to Uniter makes me love this build much more than I ever liked the Master version. However, I intend to perhaps add hip armor to give him a feudal japan armor look.

Weapon: Depending on the friction allotted with the given pins, I may or may not replace pins and add a rubber band or two to make the blades either remain lowered down or become extended and stay extended.

Lewa:
Colors: Perfectly balanced. Changing nothing.

Build: Really liking how it currently looks. Changing nothing.

Weapons: Eh. I’m still debating whether I want to just have him hold them as actual swords or completely redesign the forearms to make the blades act like Technic OTF wrist blades. I’m leaning towards Option 2.

Gali:
Colors: The orange has definitely grown on me. Changing nothing.

Build: The asymmetry is still a bit messy, however I might redo the upper legs so that I can add an orange CCBS shell behind the Vorox armor. Also, I might add hip armor, too.

Weapon: Meh. It’s okay. Changing nothing.

Pohatu:
Colors: Not enough burnt orange. I’ll be using some shells from Masters Pohatu to alleviate that problem by removing the trans lime green shells (that look out of place anyhow) and replacing them with tan and burnt orange to make his colors asymmetrical. Loving the tan.

Build: It’s okay. I’ll be replacing the feet with Dr. Scorpion X’s awesome boot design to make him look more Pohatu-y.

Weapon: Kinda gross. Still waiting for punching gauntlets. I’ll probably still leave it, though. Maybe add some silver piston addons to his forearms to mimic gauntlets covering his knuckles like I did with his Master iteration.

Onua:
Colors: Excellent. Changing nothing.

Build: The emptiness of the shoulder armor bothers me. I’ll likely add gold piston addons to the purple Basher ribcages to make them less flat. The rest is top notch.

Weapon: I still really like the feel of it. I’ll probably make it a single handed war hammer, though.

Kopaka:
Colors: The Metru Blue forearm armor doesn’t bother me in the slightest, nor the gold upper leg armor. Changing nothing.

Build: Loving the new knightly look he’s got. Far better than his Master version. I may or may not flip the shin armor over to make it flow better.

Weapons: The sword is awesome, but the gun and shield are both lame. I’ll probably ditch that thing for either a custom shield or his Masters skis utilized as a longshield.

Umarak:
Colors: Spot on for an evil looking deer man. Changing nothing.

Build: Flipping the Bohrok eyes on his knees. That’s it.

Weapons: Changing nothing.

[Plunko]

Mods:

-Umarak’s shoulder one module higher
-Revamp Kopaka into something way better
-Replace Tahu’s upper arms with red 5-long shells
-Replace some bohrok eyes on Tahu with red versions
-Gali is… I dunno
-Elongate Lewa’s arms by 1 unit
-Make Pohatu’s lower arms beige, make his thighs burnt orange
-Revamp Melum because he’s terrible

[Corrin]

Pohatu: find some way to fix those terrible upper arms. Add more burnt orange, give him 2 of ketar’s dark tan vorox armor, separate his weapon into a sword and flail(?).
Tahu: add a little more Mata red.
Onua: cover up the tan axles with trans-purple studs, and switch out the bone on his upper right arm for a Trans-purple one.
Gali: remove that silly keychain.
Lewa: Replace the revamped Mata hands on his legs with these parts:
http://cache.lego.com/media/bricks/5/2/4235786.jpg
Uxar:nothing, I’ll probably get 2 of him
Terak:nothing
Akida:nothing
Ketar:Let him collect dust on my shelf. (I’m a collector, so I have to get him.)
Kopaka:Replace the gold crystal add-ons with Gali’s silver crystal add-ons. Replace the 5M metru blue shells with his 2015 stickered white 5M shells.
Melum: Replace the gold crystal add-ons with Gali’s silver crystal add-ons. Give him Akida’s head.
Umarak: Permanently united with Uxar. Add shells to the exposed balljoints on the legs. Move the arms up 1 module higher.

[Mayple]

OK, I lied. I do have some ideas for mods now that I’ve looked over each of the sets more. So without further ado, let’s get it cracking

Starting off with Mellum, it isn’t too difficult to see where I’m going with this. His hands are going to be beefed up significantly and be covered in claws, as well as retaining the golden armor piece (I used the fur piece as a place holder). The second picture is what I’m going to attach to his head. Mellum is going to be a freaking triceratops. The third picture is what I’m going to put over those pesky open ball joints, making him seem much beefier. Finally, the last picture is of his legs, which are going to be buff as heck and covered in fur. The claws of his original hands are going to be moved to his feet. That about does it for him.

Two of these will be put over Kopaka’s forearms to make the blue even more of an accent color. No further modifications will be made to him.
<img src=“/uploads/db5640/original/3X/b/a/baffa56d8158b3844c4f4a3d5662a2754bba4fd4.jpg” g" width=“187.5” height=“250”>

These next three pictures are for Potato’s mods. I’m bringing back the robotic arm and will replace the trans yellow bohrok eye with the silver one. The next picture is for his other arm, which will have this instead of his trans green shell. In addition to this, I’m going to replace his upper arm’s silver skrall armor piece with Ketar’s tan one and see if that turns out at all. In the final picture, we see what will be his leg configuration. A sideways spiked burnt orange shell on the thigh, with a trans bone, and for the lower leg, he’s going to use one of the longer bone pieces with the same shell+clip on setup as his original.

Ah yes… Ketar. Fun fact, I actually really like Ketar!
Another fun fact, I really like lying too.
So in the first picture, you can see his tail attachment and some misc pieces I’ll try to work in to him. I’m going to attach my modded lower tail to the now silver skrall armor piece (thanks pohatu) in order to give the tail some proper articulation. The legs are going to be longer, each one of these bone pieces on it, giving him a bit more articulation in that area. Honestly, Ketar is going to go through much heavier modifications than these so this probably isn’t too accurate.

Is Terak awesome? Yes, he’s my all time favorite set. Is he perfect?.. No, not quite… Very minor modifications will be made to him, namely covering up those open ball joints with black shells, giving his arms a bit of an extension, and adding the smaller bones to his lower legs, giving him some desperately needed articulation. That’s about it though.

Onua is just going to be a bit taller and have his upper arm bones replaced with black ones. That’s really it.

I’m gonna handle Tahu and Ikir in one go, coz their mods are pretty simple, and I’m sure you’re getting sick of this wall of text. Ikir is going to have a horn and covered ball joints. Tahu’s pauldrons may be changed, and he’s going to have black upper leg bones.

Finally the last one! Akida is going to have a longer tail… That’s it.

Those are all my mods for right now, thank you for reading!

[Willess12]

@Corrin

Replace the revamped Mata hands on his legs with these parts:

Problem: that gives an annoying grey gap.

Solution: Bohrok eyes!

@21sselliW

Aren’t some of the bones on Lewa grey. I was planning on painting/sharpieing the Grey part.

[CryoTrooper]

@Clone_01354_Productions

Other than that, I’ll do the same thing that I did with all the 2015 sets: proudly display them the way they were originally designed.

I CHANGE MY MIND.

Gali is perhaps the worst of the 2016 sets, and she might even be my least favorite set of G2–she’s that bad IMO. So, I’ll need to fix her up a bit:

• Replace her upper leg armor with her 2015 version’s.
• Longer lower leg bones.
• Do…something…to fix those awful arms.
• Add the second Vorox armor to her left shoulder to make her symmetrical.
• Put crystal add-ons on her lower legs (maybe…or maybe her lower arms, so they look like gauntlets of sorts.)
• Throw her in the trash.

Also, I’ll be changing Pohatu’s shoulders to the same build as Kopaka’s. Other than that, I love the rest of these sets.

[Atomik]

i will certainly be fixing up lewas arms

[Vzplau]

(Even with the heavy mods for Tahu, I love both of these sets so much :D)
I got Tahu and Ikir, and here are my current mods: [WARNING LONG POST]

Ikir:

(Just replaced the y joint and two axle technic piece on both sides with mata red)
Not much to mod here; I found that the ball socket joints made Ikir too bulky / ungraceful.

Tahu: (Warning: Heavy mods/Revamp)

TLDR: Revamped arms, bohrok eyes around torso, and added red bulk to legs

Hope everyone gets their Tahus and Ikirs soon

I dunno if anyone’s interested, but I put my mods to the 2016 sets here

[HewksDKowlihad]

ayy lmao

[Triple]

I like what you’ve done with the propeller but the extra blade makes the spear look a bit awkward. Good job distributing the silver, but I think adding a few orange accents might spice up the colors. Extra points for fixing the arm and leg length and back leg coverage.

[Cocoa]

Ooooooooooo! I enjoy what you did to your Gali! That’s a really nice looking revamp. The only thing that really bugs me is the piston add ons on the arms and the hook blade on her spear. The add ons kind of add some unnecessary bulk, and the hook blade just looks a little awkward and a little off with the other textures, IMO. Otherwise, she looks much better.

[HewksDKowlihad]

@Triple

but I think adding a few orange accents might spice up the colors

The only other orange pieces I have are G1 pieces, and they wouldn’t looks to good on this. I can buy the Poe Dameron constraction set to get some more orange in here, though.

[Triple]

@HK-47

The only other orange pieces I have are G1 pieces, and they wouldn’t looks to good on this. I can buy the Poe Dameron constraction set to get some more orange in here, though.

Poe’s got really big orange shells, and I fear they might overpower Gali. I think a better option would be to order some small orange shells or perhaps using some orange system elements.

[HewksDKowlihad]

@Triple

orange system elements

I’m pretty sure Poe does have the pieces on the backs of Gali’s shins in orange.
If I do order some smaller orange shells, where do you recommend putting them?

[Triple]

The back pieces in orange should do well in the leg area, as for the shell maybe in the (from my perspective) left arm. You could also try to see how Orange looks on both arms.
