>>7815644Love the saw-club, looks like a instrument of savage violence straight out of a Zakazian armory. It's easy to imagine a Skakdi belligerent forcing another between that trans-blue sawblade and the crumbling wall of an ancient stone fortress. And, despite all the jagged edges, it looks like a pretty sturdy and well put together item. I could certainly see it outlasting several wielders.
The pole weapon also looks great, but more like something mass produced in a Xian factory, made with a sleek, clean, and reproducible design in mind. Sort of reminds me of the Vortixx Rhotuka Battle Axe from the Xian Weapons contest, except far more naturally comfortable to use, and not remotely as over-designed. Sort of like a weapon meant to be bought by those that either can't afford or don't care for all the fixings.
Concerning their constructions, I quite like the consistency ribbed texture all through the handle, even terminating with the similar texture of that hinge piece, offering an unorthodox and interesting way to differentiate it from more generic builds.
The 2015-style revolving blaster, while not remotely as unique, is still quite pleasing, and would fit right in with any of the other ranged weapons offered during Bionicle's original run. Frankly, it looks like a beefier version of the Protector of Ice blaster from 2015- a design I enjoyed, and the refinement here makes a pleasant reminder. As for the more straightforward and 'realistic' gun, it looks like it's rather fun to play with, as suggested by the presence (or lack) of axles in certain areas. The trigger is a very nice little touch too.
The saw-club, despite having more moving parts, and being visibly more massive than the other melee weapon shown, is obviously made of more of the large prefab parts that were a staple of Bionicle's run. But making them into something more complex rather than generic is something I love to see. It really has soul- and befitting of such a brutal instrument of destruction.
