When the Stars Align: Building Collab

[TLROsborne171]

Hi Everyone!
Happy April Fools Day!

So at the beginning of March I started a collab on my Discord server, calling people to come and “revamp” every officially released canister or larger character in the style of the best and most beloved year of Bionicle…

The 2010 Stars!

The goal was to build every canister, titan and vehicle build within a set part limit, based on character size.

Canister - 30pc max
Titan - 45pc max
Vehicle - 60pc max

Only being allowed to use Av-Matoran torsos and limbs in LEGO released colours as the main parts of the builds. Builders also could use a single (1) leg/arm piece that was not a Av-Matoran limb (to allow for some freedom). Lastly all builds had to be buildable IRL, purest style.
In the case of this collab, some masks/parts were swapped for substitutes, but are still fully buildable with their intended parts.
Designers will be tagged above their creations.
Enjoy!

You’ll probably notice that some characters are clearly missing. Here’s what we were unable to get finished in time.

Tarakava 45pc max (each)
Muaka/Kane Ra 45pc max (each)
Matau Hordika 30pc max
Avak 30pc max
Kopaka Phantoka 30pc max
Mata Nui 30pc max
Thronatus 30pc + 60pc max

Feel free to give this little challenge a try, and post below!

And to finish off this post I would like to thank everyone who participated in the collab, seeing how people got creative with all these different characters within the restrictions. It was a lot of fun, extremely intriguing and downright hilarious to be a part of!
And I can’t wait to do Part 2 in the future!

Again, thank you!
Sincerely
Legend

[angelsvschorus]

This is amazing. Simply put.

[T4k4nuv4]

This is really awesome, great work! This is such a cool idea.

[Eilrach]

Love this! wish I had found out sooner… all of these have such creative builds to replicate the original one but on a smaller scale with a lot less pieces. Tops to all the people who worked on this

[TLROsborne171]

There’s still a few left over, if you want to give it a try!

[Axelford]

“They called me a madman…”

Wow this is an awesome collab, part limitations are fascinating! Yeah maybe I’ll try choose one of the remaining ones to do

[Rukah]

You know, for their size, all these builds are really good! They’re also all recognizable, which is a big plus.

[Sandcrab]

and this post marks my first actual interaction with the boards; Always been a lurker~

i’m happy to have worked with Legend and so many other talented moccists on this collab! As a bonus, here’s some extra renders i did that didn’t make it into the main post:

Dume Guy riding Nivawk:

Some (still purist!) alternate colours for Takutanuva:

Lesovikk riding his Sea Sled:

and finally,
Pohatu demounted from the Rockoh:

[Axelford]

Welcome! Strange I’m so sure there is someone with a similar profile picture or such…
I love the vehicles in your entries! The HF Bellbottom leggings also work very nicely on Takutanuva.

[TheJerminator]

@TLROsborne171

Nui Rama
By @Skybird

Are you able to provide alternate views of this build? They both look pretty neat, with unique body builds, but I can’t quite tell how they work.

@TLROsborne171

Ackar
By @SilverShade54

I really like the choice of armour for Ackar’s legs; the piece matches his original design really well, especially around the ankles.

[TLROsborne171]

Wanted to share this as well.
The Exo-Toa actually works.

[Stuubh]

It’s a real shame Stud.io / biopack doesn’t have models for all the Av Matoran legs/torsos. It would’ve given the digital MOCs some more options.

They’re all awesome regardless! This is like a dream come true!

[MooCowsRock]

Awesome collaboration! I gotta say, though, I feel stocky, short-limbed, and hunched just looking at them all. =P

[Rukah]

Very nice. welcome to da boards

[InChandyWeTrust]

I’d like to take some time to mention that I did make a render of Spiriah and his weird Matoran buddy for fun, but didn’t enter it into the collab for hopefully obvious reasons.

Spiriah is completely unchanged and the Matoran follows the “canister” part limit; he uses 18 pieces.

[Leoxander]

These are all very charming!

[SilverShade54]

Akar was probably my “big brain” moment during the collab

I was super happy to of been a part of this collab, providing the mocs of Lewa Phantoka, Takadox, Matoro Mahri, Vamprah, the Jetrax, Matau Metru and Ackar.

[Enbeanie]

My favourite is Mutran, but these are all a perfect example of what the STARS could’ve done better.

[Mechronus]

Normally I’d be against anything to do with Stars but honestly this is amazing. Like everyone is in scale and manages to look like the characters while keeping within the limits. Awesome job everyone!

[The_Blue_Panda]

They’re gorgeous … almost as if they were children again
