I haven’t MOCed in a few weeks, and decided to revamp a set I bought a few months ago.
I also have never revamped a Bionicle set before, so that’s another thing about this that’s interesting for me.
Anyways, here’s the MOC! I decided to go for a much more animalistic and beast-like appearance, something I wish was more prevalent in the actual Hordika sets.
There is a very simple gear function in the right arm, if you move aside a small thorn piece that’s used to cover it a bit, you can spin the large gear to turn the elbow. It’s very simple, but I figured it’s better than no replication of the old Hordika function.
Splendid! I love the the geared arm is less obtrusive and awkward than the official set. Giving him digitigrade legs was another smart move as it really gets that bestial look across well.
Yeah, I wasn’t going for a movie accurate appearance
I wanted to get a little more creative with the design, as I always felt the Hordika didn’t look too “beast-like” in the story, despite being described like that.
then it works perfectly, i actually made some small adjustments to my nokama hordika to make the arms more movie like, not sure how good it is. ill post it soon
at least you could’ve put a ‘imo’ or something, as the way you state it makes it seem like fact, and I know some people who prefer CCBS far more than the G1 system. And even then, there’s very few obvious CCBS pieces.
