If you know anything about me from anywhere else online, then you’ll probably know that I’ve become a big Xenoblade Chronicles fan as of late. The main enemy units of the first game, the Mechon, have a lot of similarities to Bionicle characters; in particular, Metal Face’s claws remind me of Ehlek’s and Xord’s limbs are basically just Rahkshi backs. I’ll probably tackle more Mechon eventually but I decided to build Xord first since I had a definitive game plan from the get-go. The final product takes some creative liberties (e.g. the MOC lacks the character’s horn and the feet are a different shape), but I’m insanely pleased with the final result. As is the case with the vast majority of my Studio builds, Xord is designed to be purist and should theoretically be possible to build irl.
Size comparison: Xord looming over a very scared minifigure (who’s meant to resemble nobody at all in particular)

This moc looks pretty cool. I like the use of the rahkshi parts.
I took one look at Xord in-game and thought his limbs were Rahkshi backs, so they served as the basis of the design.

Cool i could see this as some sort of elite Rahkshi
So that’s one N01 looks like

Come to think of it, a lot of the Mechons’ designs look like they have a lot of Rahkshi parts
