Hello! This is my first time posting here on the TTV message boards, and i though i would just show a moc i made some weekend. Most of the pieces where from Stormer XL, a wave 4 hero factory set. The vahki head was from the 2008 Bionicle set Bitil, and other CCBS parts were used also.
I am sad to say that i took these pictures with my computers camera, so it will probably be very poor quality. Sorry!
(And as a new poster i could only include 3 images.)
So, the pictures were fine one moment, then they suddenly turned really skinny, but based on what I saw, looks great. I particularly liked the head. I must ask, though, what the right hand is. Looks energized. Pretty good MOC.
@Rac With the pictures, i don’t really know what happened there.
But with the arm, it’s a regular arm, with the clear blue bones running along the sides, with a cord fire hose thing running through it. attached to the hand of the arm, there is a stud shooter, which instead of a gear, has a armour piece attached to it. like a shield. Im glad you like it!
Edit: I just realised that i told you what the arm is made of, but not its purpose.
It would probably act as a taser, that would disable the electronics of the target. and the stud shooter would be like a taser gun, or a regular weapon.
The lower legs could definitely use some more armour on the back, but other than that, I think this is pretty much flawless.
Cool colours
Nice build
And interesting weapon
Carrying two spears at once, that sounds strange and unwieldy but I can’t denounce evidence. They do a bit I suppose. Still…strange
The ice Vahki looks like he’s carrying a pair of serrated pirate cutlasses, or is that just me. Admittedly though, I could see them passing as spears, just less so than others

Hm, good points. I’ll try to add onto this in the future, possible swap out the left arm for some staffs or something. As for it being messy, sure! i really don’t think i’m the best at MOCs, and this is my first real decent looking one. (I also just tried to use mostly the Stormer XL parts, as this wasn’t really meant to be the best MOC ever)
As for parts collection, i don’t really know, i would say a partially overflowing tub 60cm in length, 40cm in Width, and 15cm in depth. So not really too much.
As for Vahki Prime, certainly, it doesn’t really look like a vahki, just the head. I would say that while it doesn’t look like one, it would act like one, being the head of a Vahki squad, as they were law enforcement, of sorts. It is a stretch though.
@Triple Fair point. I honestly just was like, hey, it has a Vahki head, imma call it Vahki Prime.
It’s not the quantity of parts that matters, it’s what they are and what you do with them. I this case, if you wanna revise this MOC, I recommend smoothing the shaping out with some armour pieces.
Thank you for your tips! As for what is in my collection, i would say a fair bit of CCBS pieces, along with a little bit less of Bionicle and Technic parts, so certainly a fair bit of armour, along with a few Rahhkshi, Vahki and Piraka parts.
Here is a picture of the new sword. The Vahki blades rotate around the lightning sword, which are both attached to a hand. It would be used by moving forward on the target, swiping with the sword while the staffs spin around it.
Looking much better! I suggest you try to thicken up the arms a bit and reduce their length. The chest armour on the chins should probably be reversed as well. Also, if you wanna start working on the colour scheme, I suggest adding some blue to the legs. If you’ve got the parts, try replacing the black and gunmetal armour with white and silver.
Ill start working on it soon, i just got all the 2016 Bionicles shipped to me though!
Actually, on that note, i got shipped another set of them today for free .
