did anyone else prefer clone sets over unique builds? I liked how uniform the teams were.

only to save money
for clone sets people just bought their favorite color since they're all basically all the same

unique lines probably sold better

Clone sets with slight variation (Mata, Nuva, Metru) > Inika builds trying way too hard to look different (Mahri, Ph*ntoka, M*stika), if that's what you mean, but Inika were pretty much a clone wave and they still looked shit. Also obviously stuff like Barraki where they weren't meant to be part of the same species/team was fine as divergent builds

50/50 on this, I liked the aspect of being able to buy the build I like in my favorite color, but in turn it did turn into a "bought one, bought them all" situation. Unique build tams also usually ended up being real mixed bags.

Nah, averting that is part of why G2 was so good from the toy side of things. Though I will say I tolerated the Bohrok just because the gimmicks they had were so good, and the Rahkshi's articulation was mindblowing at the time, but come the Metru and especially the Vahki I was pretty much over it.

The two are mutually irreconcilable. You can get away with the forelimb pieces because that's sorta just something you have to bite the bullet on if you're giving Mata/Nuva bending limb joints, but there's no way to dress up an inika build torso so it isn't just an inika build torso with stuff obviously pasted on the front/back. Those torsoes are oriented on the Z plane (flattest angle of the figure) looking at the figure from the front, whereas the Mata style of torso, or more accurately the orientation of its points of attachment, is oriented on the Y plane (axis of symmetry, for lack of a better immediate description). Your best bet, if you're unwilling to go full Mata with ball joints, is to construct a technic torso from scratch (those 3x3 T pieces are basically a perfect fit for the shoulders). Otherwise, you're stuck thinking in the Inika build box. If that's the way you're committed to going, good luck and godspeed, but that's my perspective.

I only use parts from my childhood collection, so I exclusively do my own builds. I also mix System and Technic freely. Currently trying to put together a techno-organic tree for a Toa of Plantlife diorama using those kind of cheese wheel looking system parts, a brown BURP bottom, a bunch of gears, and the Mata arms with cups on the end as branches. Might use Rahkshi feet for fronds if I can find enough of them.

>>10554172
Well, the Mata torso would be a good starting point. No mistaking that for Mata.

They really should’ve put more effort into hammering home that the Turaga are a cut above the Matoran

I agree mostly with >>10554071, but I want to add an other point: art style. Look at the metru: notice how most pieces have the same patterns: straight lines molded on top of the pieces, that seem to divide the pieces in segments. Also a lot of detail in a small space. They really have a "designed together" feel. Even the ignika still had it: notice how the torso armor, shoulder armor, and the feet parts on some had large smooth parts with hollow dots. the later years often felt like they were create out of part bins, instead of having a cohesive style.

Toa metru where my favorite visually. Too bad the vahki of that year look like shit. They look unfinished with the gap int their torsos, and using the same upper legs as the metru, but without armor.

It's based on the Hau, which in turn was a symbol of Mata Nui as the "protector" of the Matoran. Kind of just shifts the question to why the Hau looks the way it does, but then again you could ask the same about every Kanohi.

You should be defining the shape primarily through the structure of your build, not necessarily what you fill empty space with. What you've built is a T on legs. With that as your base shape, and with so few points to attach anything to, you are going to find it very difficult to turn that torso into anything that will not just look like a T on legs.

Probably take it back to the drawing board. Study the shapes of the Mata torso, and identify what in specific you want to integrate into your design. Find parts that resemble a portion of of the shape you want, and determine how they should connect to other parts to create that shape. Additionally, identify what about the Inika build appeals to you, that you would single out for inclusion in a Mata-style Inika build or Inika-style Mata build.

You need to bite the bullet and learn to use little technic pieces and some system to build torsos and limbs. An articulated Tahu is only going to look like a weird lanklet otherwise.

Some of my advice
>I think the metru bottom torso piece works well to harken back to the buzzsaw thing at the bottom of the mata torso
>I think the Piraka legs are categorically the wrong choice since they have design choices evocative of scales. I'd say use the metru limbs from the forearms for the forelegs and create a technic-built forelimb.
>Tahu Mata doesn't have symmetrical arms
>Technic built or otherwise, I think you're going to need to scale him down a tad just to make sure the mask and mata feet and fire sword look right

Not a bad go. I suggest trimming down the shoulders by half a stud inward so you still have some articulation, otherwise that's pretty much as far in as the arms are gonna go, and you won't be able to rotate them even marginally.

Spoiler for the one I was gonna post, but that slizer foot (idk what else we call it) piece you used for the groin is a great way to approximate the shape of the Mata torso's actual breast. Funny enough, I got that idea from the Bionicle Skyrim mod.

Alright, so here's more or less what I was thinking. The hip section was kind of an afterthought, but the sort of skeletal pelvis look fits the Mata so I went with it.

The gears are obviously purely ornamental, but somehow I don't get the impression that that's an issue for you.
It also supports a Nuva torso (you might have to swap out those oval pieces in the shoulders with regular 3-beams, hard to tell if it collides in studio).

Be consistent with the upper arms and legs, the proportions look off even for a Bionicle build and the piraka legs look really weird on Tahu. Right now, it looks like he's wearing a leotard or something. Try taking some of the ideas from Ackar's build too, he was supposed to be the inspiration for Tahu in canon.

Thanks. In truth I had hoped to be able to make the gears functional (with an optional lock on the back like the Nuva) but ultimately within the confines of a Mata torso imitation it's pretty much a choice between that and neck articulation.

You made a big show of asking for help with the design, then you just made the same basic Inika build you were always gonna make, except with worse proportions because you insisted on stretching out the torso as far as you could. I don't think you really tried to find an alternative.

Majority of the more realistic moc renders are done with mecabricks, the site just doesn't have much at all bionicle pieces.

So what you are left with is importing from Stud.io to Blender and that's where most just give up.

i'm attempting to resin cast an entire bionicle
like all the parts are individually cast and put together.

I started by trying to do a tohunga but i'm starting to think an av matoran build is more realistic
i wanted to make a video documenting the process but documenting an av matoran build seems really boring.
Are there any other builds in a similar vein that don't use a ton of unique pieces? i was thinking maybe a voyatoran, but i'm being autistic about this and EVERY piece must be moulded and cast by me and i'd like to avoid casting pins and axles.

I feel like they are more organic than the races in the giant robot, so instead of a very robotic bright colored exposed brain they'd have the neurons on the inside. Something must have been lost on design that made them have completely transparent heads. Of course, they needed colored eyes in only one piece, just imagine if the modern dual molding had been a thing back then.

I mean at that point I'd honestly rather just stick with the classic Mata. It's functionally really the same as far as the attachment points on the upper half go, it's just a bit longer to scale better with articulated limbs and the shoulders are just a smidgen wider (although thankfully still a full two studs narrower than the retarded 11-width Inika/Piraka gorilla shoulders). Otherwise, the regular Mata is fairly easily adapted just by putting balljoints on the hips and shoulders.

These are neat but ultimately I think they're going to suffer from the lack of articulated limbs that resemble mata/slizer limbs. Like the metru leg piece is a decent match for that one arm type but that's it.

here are some of the casts i made, bionicle parts are pretty hard to cast .

pin connections are perfect, axle connections are little bit weaker but still usable, ball joint friction is good but may degrade with use. The main structural problems i can see would be the stress on the axle? connecting the ball to the arm piece may be prone to snapping off when taking it in and out of a cup.
The cup pieces are the biggest issue, one of the borok feet immediately got a hairline fracture when putting a ball into it and a 1/4 of another one just snapped right off. The one with the hairline fracture is still usable but i can see it snapping if used a lot.

I'm going to try casting some ccbs parts and an axle mask next, the ccbs may be a bit stronger due the the shape but i think the resin is just too brittle for this use case.

i'm going to have to remake the mould for the arm/leg piece because the resin wasn't reaching the end of the socket due to how i angled the piece, as far as bubbles are concerned there's not much i can do expect slam the mould on the ground a few times after filling it and hope for the best.

For Takanika, probably replace the shins, thigh plates, shoulders and chest pieces with their direct Inika versions. Remember that the Inika were basically clone sets with two different chest pieces.
Takamahri mostly looks fine (given the initial premise), but I'd throw in some tubes.

Yes. But Disney shitting the bed is too late to affect whetever 2025 happens or not.

It takes about 1 year for an idea to become a set on shelves, 6 months of that being the production. We are now 16 months away from a supposed G3 launch and the development for G2 started in 2012, it also took years for Dreamzzz. If G3 is a thing beyond just one or two sets, it's already budgeted for somewhere in the proto phase

Bionicle isn't coming back. I doubt Lego is going to try again after the failure of G2. Lego rarely brings back dead themes, and if they do, it's never a true revival.

https://bricknerd.com/home/revived-lego-original-lego-themes-that-came-back-6-14-23

Most theme "revivals" are just a one-off tribute set, which LEGO already did for Bionicle with the brick built Tahu.

I believe in the possiblity that there has been introspection in it's failure due to the increasing amount of bionicle fans themselves becoming succesful designers within the company, creating thus internal pressure.

At least it's very apparent the GWP exists in the first place only due to that internal pressure.

One can hardly compare picrel with the turd that was the GWP, though. Doesn't necessarily mean they'll release a proper "revival"/tribute set, of course, might just mean that they (not unfairly) assumed that Bionicle fans would be desperate enough for literally anything that it would be a big hit.

Why so disappointed? They were unused concepts for a reason: They weren't as good as what the Lego Bionicle team ultimately decided to go with at that moment in time. Be happy we got what we got in the end. Lego could still decide to one day use these concepts and ideas in a future line. Nothing is ever really wasted, sometimes the moment just isn't right yet for something to be utilized.

Greetings!
Recently took out my old Bionicle collection, decided to clean and put them up on display. I should have some nice pictures for you guys once they dry off.
Have to say it's been a while since I messed with them, brought back a lot of memories. One of them is the reason for the post - I remember a Bionicle game I had on my PC, I think from one of the CDs that came with some of the sets.
It had a top down view, pixelated graphics, you clicked where you wanted your character to go. You controlled a small Matoran and the area I remember was a jungle, with some sort of settlement built among the trees.
Anyone know what game that was? I've been looking through videos and images of Bionicle games but I just can't quite recognize/find it.

Oh and way too many Rahkshi back pieces (with I think only one set of the two supporting elements and one black head) and feet.

I wonder what Teridax looked like after the Hagah fucked him up. Shapeshifting implies maintained mass, doesn't it? Wouldn't that mean Makuta was in possession of smaller body when impersonating Dume?

No. That's why he had to eat two dark hunters and a bird, to regain mass (or rather the mass of his shell).
When you get down to it, Makuta are pretty shitty shapeshifters. They generally don't shapeshift to explicitly take the form of someone or something else, but rather to customize their bodies, like the Karda Nui Makuta shapeshifting into flight-specialized/insectoid forms or Miserix deviating from the normal humanoid shape to make his fursona (scalesona?). If, like Big M, they are specifically impersonating someone, they usually would have to sacrifice a lot of their mass.

Theoretically he could inhabit a Rahkshi armor, Vahki, or Fohrok in order to be the approximate mass for shifting into a Turaga, maybe.

Tahu crammed his Hau Nuva under the Vahi. Masks are their own can of worms.
Anyway, he still made his head smaller, his full size head is like half again the size at least.

Its always been a 2-day thing, all the others were too.
Some of the original creators did a commentary for the MoL movie, and Stuart Sayger's art stream was fucking based as always.
Oh, and outside the stream, the Takua 64 guy did a small showcase and said the romhack will be done before the end of the year; he estimates 3 months.
