Just like my previous revamp, Spiriah, Trinuma should be upgraded with just parts from Tahu, Gali, and Onua Mistika (I hope I got the parts count right).
Here’s a tutorial if anyone wants to build him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYZCsuaLpmE

And here’s a list of the main upgrades:

  • He’s much taller and a bit bulkier than the original combiner.
  • His elbow articulations now let the arms move properly, and you get the bonus of arms swivel as well.
  • He gets two new weapons in the form of an upgraded Ghost blaster and a small curved dagger.
  • He can now accommodate an Av-Matoran on his back just like the Toa Phantoka/Mistika.
  • The two shoulder-mounted blasters can be moved independently and you can almost use the technic liftarm as a lever.

As a bonus, Trinuma vs Spiriah! I don’t know if they ever faced in battle, but given that they’re both combo models from 2008 I thought it would have been cool to see them clash.

Awesome! Just like Spiriah, you did a fantastic job improving the model with just the available pieces. Unlike the barebones original, this really looks like a model worth building.
I don’t own any Phantoka or Mistika sets yet, but if I eventually have enough, I’m certainly gonna build this or Spiriah.

Definitely an improvement over the original. If it weren’t for the awful sockets of this era I’d try building it myself :thinking:

Finally got around to building your model. It’s awesome!

Large and bulky, but still quite stable and poseable. This build definitely fits Trinuma’s character.

The parts count is right, you can build this with just the three sets. These are the leftovers (plus Onua’s blaster add-on shield thingy, which I don’t have):

Edit: I just saw that I forgot the dark red wings on his shoulder blasters. Those add another splash of color which is nice

Thank you so much for the pictures! It’s always nice to know when someone built it irl and I’m glad the result didn’t disappoint.

Impressive how many parts this uses from all the sets, yet it still looks cohesive and solid in physical and digital form.

Any troubles with the 08 joints?

Luckily not, they’re all holding up perfectly! I rebuilt the three original sets in the meantime and Trinuma did once topple off the bench while I was taking these photos, but I got away with zero broken parts.
