Hi, following a renewed passion for G2 (mostly for the Master sets) I decided to make what apparently no one else has done before:
Recreating the Special Onua from the mobile game Bionicle: Mask of Creation.
This was an alternative build unlockable only in the iOS version of the game (you could unlock Special Kopaka in the android app) and it’s a combo model of 70789 Onua Master of Earth and 70781 Protector of Earth.
This model features a gear function in the shoulder, like the base Onua and a functioning stud shooter in the hammer.
The build is 95% accurate to the in game model: wanting to conserve the gear function (as they did in the official Special Tahu and Special Kopaka) required to attach the left shoulder ornament/pillar in a slightly different way. You can download the instructions here
Theese are all the images I could find on the internet that I used for reference, I’m just sorry that I cannot retrace my steps to where I actually found them, so to whoever took them, if you read this: thank you!
This is quite the interesting alt build. Who knows why they decided to give him a tail of all things, but it definitely makes him unique, that’s for sure.
That’s the Prototype G2 Mask of Earth (or at least that’s the file name) by Rothanak. i used it since it turns out I don’t have a file for the official Lego mask in my stud.io
@Minethuselah The only other Special Toa to appear in the game was Kopaka, in the Android version.
Tahu did not appear in the game, but the instructions were released on the Lego Club.
As far as I know there are no special builds / combo models for the other Toa.
I can’t find the stud.io pack that contained the mask, but you can find all Rothanak’s masks on thingiverse (or so I believe). Prototype G2 mask of earth Onua
