Question is there anything redeeming about the new setting at all? I haven't actually taken the time to catch up on the new story, but we just had another big nostalgia thread in /tg/ about Bionicle.

The pictures on the back of the boxes haven't been giving me much optimism about it honestly.

There isn't the same level of intrigue and mystery as the first few years of G1 but it's decent. It's actually fairly similar in some ways. I'd say it isn't any better or worse but just different.

The only real problem is that 2015 barely delivered any story content. The few pieces of media that did have notable worldbuilding did an excellent job and there's still lots of untapped potential, so it should continue getting better with every piece of content we get this year.

The story and setting are actually pretty good, unfortunatly last year they decided to have the only storytelling material for most of the year be these shitty 90 seconds animations which had awkward pacing due to their short run time.

If one ignores those and reads between the lines a bit to see the stuff that the story team actually put together versus how it was presented to us, you see a pretty cool setting. Basically instead of villages in different regions like 2001's island, you have an island that was originally just all the same biome and the villagers all lived in cities be it the capital city or the city of the mask makers, the capital ended up being turned into a crater after the great cataclysm caused by Ekimu and Makuta's battle (this cataclysm also fucked with the island itself, causing the six elements to basically manifest themselves and completely change most of the island except for a single corner which happened to be protected from the shockwave by the mountain in the middle of the island), and the city of the mask makers was later abandoned due to an invasion by monsters.

Also way before that you had six avatars of the island's elements come into being in the form of what are basically ancient / wise dragons but in the forms of a bug-like creature, shark-like creature, etc. and a being born the shadows at around the same time who's sole purpose is hunting them down.

The villages the villagers eventually moved to havent been covered too much because there are multiple villages in each elemental region so they never bothered going into detail about all of them and the villagers eventually end up moving back to the city of the mask makers anyway.

The main weakness of the setting versus G1s is the lack of terms for everything like in G1, basically everything that was in "matoran language" is just said in english now, so 'Kanohi' is just mask, "Wahi" is just region, and so on.

From what we've seen the story is a bit better than last years, not simper. Perhaps they meant something more along the lines of 'straightforward', since last years story was confusing in how poorly presented it was for most of the year. (Unless they meant in comparison to G1)

I sure hope the comparison was with G1. Even if the media representation was a bit messy, I don't see anything in the 2015 storyline that could confuse kids to the point where Lego immediately decide they need to cut back on the complexity.

Well, part of the reason I started this is that Bahrag are one of the 5 sets I'm still missing from complete 02 collection (rest are Pahrak Va, Nuhvok Va, Tahnok Va and Power pack), and while everything else is in my parts bin as a fucking mess, it's the thought that counts.

And I am planning on replacing the rubber bands with generic ones if I ever make it that far

>>5431004
Exactly. And no one knows if it'll be cheaper. Generally stuff like this is cheaper to part out, but it really depends on many things.

And because totally no one asked, here's what I have so far.

I feel like they were probably going over their whole G2 gameplan and the person who wrote the article linked there just sort of interpreted that way, remember what we know of the story this year versus last year:

2015
>Toa get summoned
>Toa find golden masks
>Toa get to city entrance and beat up LoSS
>Toa go into city and beat up skeletons
>Toa wake up Ekimu and beat the big bad skeleton
2016 (from what we've seen)
>Toa get upgraded and go find the elemental creatures
>Creatures tell them they hid the mask of control in a labyrinth on an island
>Toa go there and find Umarak, a being as ancient as the creatures who wants to hunt them
>Umarak gets mask of control and eventually puts it on
>Umarak turns into some sort of huge monster

Even without all the information I would hardly call the 2016 story 'simpler' than the 2015, more straightforward perhaps.

What is a good piece of information is that now we know for a fact that the series is four 22 minute long episodes

Simple. I just went to biggest store on the country and got everything I could scrape together. But as of now, the project is on hold before I get some more money. Other stuff I'm missing is more or less the hinge-pieces on the legs, some Technic bits and bobs, Pahrak-shields from the feet, antennae for the both, every single gear, every hose (some of those are surprisingly rare), one red Bohrok half and the white Technic parts for the teeth. Again, not so common.

And yes, I am ready to order internationally.

I just want good 2016 pictures ASAP to stop some of the shitposting. I personally like all the beasts and feel like all the disappointment in the 2016 summer sets stems from Umarak, who we were looking forward to the most. If the actual model for Umarak proves to look really good and the iffy-looking prelim was simply a matter of poor posing or CGI errors, then I feel like people will warm up to the summer sets pretty fast.

see I really don't get the hate on the beasts, it's not like the skeletons where exposed ball joints on both the torso (which was a terrible inexcusable flaw that plagued all the 2015 sets but whatever) and on the limbs, and then there was scorpio who was just a weird set.

The beasts have consistent color schemes (a splash of trans-neon green here or there but its not as jarring as the trans-orange on the skull villains), cool head designs, and varied and cool silhouettes, Lava beast looks like some kind of imp or demon with his short legs but scary looking head, Quake beast looks intimidating with his bulky frame and especially bulky crystal arm, and Storm beast has an awesome lean look with terrifying looking claws. The shadow traps sticking out of them in places also gives them a strange, very evil feel.

god I love how tight the new masks are, you can actually move the Toa's heads by the mask if you want, you dont have to pinch your fingers onto an exposed part of the head and carefully move it, you can just grab the head anywhere and turn it as you will, its so much nicer.

While Shadow seems to be more than just another element, I can actually see "Toa Umarak" happening in a way. The enemy for 2017 might very well be Makuta, and Umarak's probably going to be mighty cheesed at the guy who forced him to wear an evil mutating mask.

Subjective.

Ikir's cool but the open ball joints are kind of obnoxious on him and there isnt a whole lot of ways you can pose him.

Uxar's really cool and has a very sleek design, but his wingtips are hard to keep organized since they are connected by blue pins, and his wingspan is so huge its hard to fit on a shelf.

Terak is cool looking and has neat colors but his function is really lame

Melum is basically a worse-looking Terak but with a much better function

Akida is a really cool creature who feels way larger and more substantial than all the others despite being considerably smaller in terms of surface area than Uxar, the guns are kind of weird and there isnt a WHOLE lot of ways you can pose a fish, but the set is really good

Ketar is a mess, but has a certain sort of underdog charm to him

+ masks made with the new mold stay on heads without assistance
+ when heated, the mold produces masks with crisper detail than masks cured at room temp
+ I made sure to brush all the little debris off this time when making the mold, so detail is perfect

- the working time of the solid resin that I have causes it to begin to solidify before I can finish pouring
(maybe this can be solved by mixing equal concentrations of it and the transparent resin - result would still be fully opaque, but maybe take longer to solidify)
- Regardless of whether or not I'm fully covered and wearing a breathing mask, it seems I can't avoid getting some kind of allergic skin reaction when working with this stuff, but I have proper stuff to treat it

I haven't been having issues like before now that I'm fully protected, but maybe I should lay off until the current rashes (leftovers from before that are nearly diminished) clear. I have noticed that being near fumes when they are uncovered makes them tingle...

Damn weather doesn't let me do this outside... the cold doesn't help the curing at all. Though maybe that would increase the cure time so I could get the mask filled... no wind though...

Anons here have already pointed out that by "simpler", they probably meant more " straightforward". Since 2015's media was a clusterfuck with three retellings of the same story with different shit added.

Like >>5431742 said, they probably mean that they'll be focusing on cutting down the number of media channels they use for storytelling.

Instead of telling the same shit three times through games, books, and webisodes, they'll be using each for distinct parts of the story.

Everyone basically shitposts when it comes to Bionicle, nobody except kids and fans care about it because there isnt any way to treat it as "muh mature hobby im totally like an engineer" as with normal lego system.

Basically this guy is full of shit though he is pretty much correct about certain things, like the spiky armor piece. The trans-light blue thing has got to be a load of shit since its clearly trans-neon green or something similar , and there is really no way he could compare UtD to UtH considering how very fundamentally different they are.

So basically he must have just glanced at it and been like "eh its like this I guess'

I never understood this. Why is shit like Transformers okay but Bionicle is bad? Is it everyone or just AFOLs and if so, does that make AFOLs the gamers of Toys?

That's because most of them are either pretty young teens who got into Bionicle in 06, or manchildren who don't necessarily understand how adults, even in the lego community, view Bionicle.

I mean we're autistic manchildren here, but I would like to think most of us are jaded enough on everything to trust our own impressions over someone who clearly doesnt give a shit about bionicle and makes astronomical assumptions like "my friend barry said something about they were simplifying the story or something so thats why these sets lack innovation" rather than someone who is actually knowledgeable about the matter being "they were likely referring to this generation versus G1 since that has been a statement they made at NYCC and this year shows absolutely no signs of lower story complexity than last year considering the introduction of more names on sets, as well as a more interesting backstory on the villain, these sets look similar to the other ones because it is using the same building system and basic aesthetic, the bestial limbs and heads are what indicate these characters as monsters rather than the hero characters."

Transformers has a LOT more brand recognition, though collecting them is still kind of looked down upon by most adults, people can sort of get it.

Bionicle has less brand-name recognition and automatically loses some points for being basically a spin-off of Lego, and considering it doesnt use the same building system and the AFOLs hate on it so much since it reinforces the unimaginable idea that lego is a toy for children, it is easy for one to dismiss it as some cheap garbage thrown together that nobody really cares about.

To be fair I have no idea what color it is in. looks like pure gunmetal, pure black, or maybe gunmetal mixed with trans orange, it could be preliminary though, as blended parts dont really show up until much after prelims (protector masks in winter 2015, drained golden masks in summer 2015), and the part that is blended on the mask isnt blended here, and I doubt they would change around the molding process considering the relative complexity of the Umarak mask mold with the edges of the two colors being clearly defined and consistent.

Look closely. The Umarak mask beneath Ekimu's foot is black which bleeds into trans orange.

But that's just a little glow behind the mask, which IS solid black. Maybe that illustrative effect suggests that the solid color mask will be marbled in the final product?

Whichever it is, that mask is one of the most impressive / cool looking masks this gen, so getting it in another color / another blend would be greatly appreciated, if it is trans orange it would be pretty sweet, I can imagine how that would look where the trans color comes in front of the face in that little mouth damage protrusion thing, with trans orange it would be quite a cool looking sight.

It just looks like every other lego theme where the whole series is just shitty vehicles instead of any kind of buildings aside from (kind of) the castle.

I'd be infinitely more into system sets if they actually made everyday buildings anymore instead of just rehashing the same city vehicles every couple of months.

Personally I wouldn't mind bionicle getting a break in favour of a new constraction theme, especially one managed by someone who will tap into it's full potential rather than pussyfoot and follow LEGO traditions such as the enemies being creepy crawlies (specifically spiders, scorpions and snakes), play function gimmicks, and underground/underwater/jungle year where the entire team gears up specifically for it.

The single most important thing that LEGO blantantly refuses to address is their age group. The constraction lines are aimed at teens. Teens play games with violence, swear, crave sex, prize alphaness and have the potential to grasp complex concepts. You can't just print a 12-17 on a Thomas the Engine box and expect highschoolers to buy it.

Now, I'm not saying that LEGO should make a Duke Nukem line (though I'd shower them with money if they did). They just need more complex-looking sets (piece appearance and colour distribution), better music (music that the average person could casually listen to even without knowing where it's from) and more adult imagery.

Course when I say adult imagery I don't mean strip clubs, concentration camps and onscreen killings. I mean better posing, a palette that doesn't exclude dark or vibrant colours, and more detailed environments that can set the mood for what takes place in them. And of course a more serious character/set design like in the skull squad concept art.

I really wish lego would branch out from everything being fucking vehicles nowadays, I know its all that sells, but considering how uncommon the structure-type sets are nowdays, when thats fundamentally what lego is best at creating, its kind of frustrating

>>5432450
Lego would never make something quite that edgy, remember they still have their whole pseudo-non-violence thing, and constraction is AIMED at younger kids, but I feel like they should change things around a bit yeah.

Bionicle as a theme is honestly pretty great in my opinion, contraction works best for robotic-looking / armored things, and bad for standard humans, as the star wars CCBS line has proved, Bionicle on it's own has plenty of potential for complexity and what have you, as G1 proved (though it kinda went overboard at the very end), a refocus on contraction to be aimed at all ages by being aimed at an older audience (younger kids will always think that whatever the teenager thinks is cool must be super cool), and not being afraid to go for some more complicated storytelling.

Half the people who owned G1 bionicles couldnt give a damn about the story, they knew that you had these good guys with elemental powers that looked cool, and you had these bad guys who also looked cool, thats all they needed to know, the story content is needed to keep people interested who want more from their figures so that they will continue to be invested in the line. I still think G2 has potential, it just needs better story presentation, which HOPEFULLY JtO will give us (though I've watched other lego series like the new nexo knights one, it's pretty cringeworthy, far more than even the 2015 animations), the problem is that unless the line gets greenlit for more years, it might be too little too late.

IMHO the biggest problem with Bionicle right now is the designs are getting more mature and complex, but the story is becoming more childish and simple. You can tell the designers want a really serious and mature universe but the writers want it to be as muted and "child friendly" as possible.

To be fair, last years Toa designs were pretty childish / 'toyish' looking, and while the skeletons fixed that, their whole spooky skeleton thing felt a bit too cliche and silly to be intimidating.

The cool, complex looking characters and designs are coming forth this year, and we havent got any story material for this year yet.

just turn the current upper leg the other way around so that it faces the same way as the big guy's upper leg, and then do a very small mod to the lower legs (turn the 2m technic bits with two axle holes sideways to offset the glatorian neck by one module form the socket piece) to make them an exact clone of Storm Beast's lower legs.

If I had one complaint it would be that the area where the tail meets the body looks kind of bare, but not sure how you coud fix that, other than that you need to get more spikes so that orange raptor can have all the spikes too.

Robot dinosaur villains were originally planned for bionicle G1 before it was cancelled.

Honestly, I don't know why Lego hasn't revisited this, the jungle setting on okoto is perfect, you could have biting/clawing/tail swinging functions, and it would finally provide an opportunity for some interesting non-humanoid CCBS builds. More interesting than spooky skeletons anyways.

Plus, kids fucking love dinosaurs, they would sell like crazy

He's completely correct, GregF once posted the sort of unfinished script for the next bionicle movie after TLR and at the end they go to Bota Magna and there are robot dinosaurs there.

It's also mentioned in one of the serials when Lewa, Miserix, Vezon, Helryx, and I think someone else too get warped to Bota Magna and see the Robot Dinosaurs there.

I was trying to make a new foot the other day and ended up with this build. If anyone likes it, feel free to use it.
The problem is that it's too big for a small build and too thin for a medium build. Does anyone have any good inbetween body builds?

So I'm on bricklink for the first time. I just want to get big and small white barbs, but I'm having trouble finding places that sell both in quantities I need and ship to my country. If the store I want to buy the parts from has nothing else I want, do I need to buy useless shit I don't want just to meet the minimum buy?

Try using the wishlist function, it's great for finding stores with everything you need.
As for stores with a minimum buy, generally yes, you need to meet their purchase limit. Some stores MIGHT be willing to let you go under if you bargain but I wouldn't count on it. My advice is just throw some rare Kanohi in your cart, they're fun to collect and tend to drive the cost up easily.
Also try to avoid buy from other countries if you can,even if their parts are cheaper, because international shipping can be a BITCH.

Kulta is very cool and a much better bad guy than that shitty animal fucker Umarak.

Kulta was a fucking tool who got jobbed by a sleepy grandpa and locked in a gimp closet by some glorified matoran and their snake friend.

Umarak's a maverick who told Makuta to go fuck himself and stole his mask for his own frisky deeds.

Your post reminds me though, I oughtta rebuild Kulta for a side-by-side with his better replacement.

I love the more mechanical, bonkly look the 2016 sets have but man do I like 2015 Tahu more than his 2016 version. Literally 2 standard red parts on the entire set and they're covered up by those obnoxious flame energy things. I tried putting some red on his arms but his mask is pretty much Metru red and they don't even match anyway. 2015 Tahu looks so much more uniform.

As much as I love them, the big issue I have with the Uniters are their attempts at unique shoulder designs with pretty much all of them but Gali's and maybe Tahu's falling flat.
Onua and Kopaka's are especially questionable and it seems that sooner or later something WILL crack there unless modded due to stress on the flimsy construction.
Hell, the pieces on Onua's sides seem to be mainly there to keep the section above from sinking down too much with making him look bulkier being only an afterthought and Kopaka's shoulders also limit the range of movement he has, meaning that he can't do such simple things as raising his arms straight up.

If Journey to One turns out as good as it seems so far and is able to reach the correct audience through Netflix, it's going to give Bionicle's popularity a huge boost. Just today, I saw some kids freaking out about Nexo Knights in front of a store window because "THOSE WERE ON TV!!!!", so it's clear how much of an effect this kind of stuff can have.

And doesn't Netflix have suggestions or something like that? Still not as powerful as just having the show pop up simply by sitting in front of the screen, but better than having to actively search for it.

I still can't believe it, there is no fucking way they would introduce a new color, trans neon green looks yellow under certain lighting conditions so maybe thats the case (I would prefer yellow of course).

I still really dont get what everyone hates on the summer sets for, these looks way better than the skull villains to me, perhaps having only five sets makes us expect a higher value out of each one, but when they turn up to be more or less the same as Lewa, Gali, and Pohatu, they're considered bad sets?

I just got Terak. He is the most adorable mole. I mean...what else could he be with those digging mitts and stubby legs?

Dunno what Lego was smoking to give him a "flying" pose to show the gimmick, because it just looks like digging to me.

If you pay attention, you can see that the Tahu's appearance does change under certain circumstances, when united the blue on his chest brightly glows, and his crystal armor on his legs doesnt seem to have the crystal portion by default, only the piston-y bottom part, but under certain circumstances (entering combat) the crystals appear.

I thought so too, but after rewatching it a couple times I noticed a few things about that particular clip.
1. They are in the ancient city, so it's likely not an action scene, hence the less dynamic flying
2. Just before the scene ends he is about to move his weapons behind him and go in a straight line, so the actual motion would be more of a slow swoop that accelerates into a quick straight line of flight, which wouldnt look as awkward.

>>5435643
Its very very clear they have a limited amount of new molds they are able to make in a year/wave for Bionicle, last year they put a lot of those into new weapons, we got Gali/Lewa axe piece, Onua shovels, Pohatu Boomerangs, Tahu swords, hook axes, and hookblades. This year they put more of it into armor pieces, because a lot of people felt that the 2015 sets looks far too plain and not very bionicle-y (rightfully so). Instead they made a fairly generic weapon piece and used it in different ways on all of them (Dual swords on Tahu, Tonfas on Lewa, a Broadsword for Kopaka, Spear for Gali, more spear for Pohatu, etc.).

I personally do not mind the use of a single piece in different ways like this, as I found that most of the weapon pieces in G1 were useless for MOCing anyway and eventually ended up as big silver useless hunks of plastic in a parts bin (the weapons really started to drop the ball after 03 in terms of usefulness outside of that character, with the only better part being the mahritoran blades later on). However I feel like the uniters dont quite handle this reuse of a part as well as they should. Everyone should have had a unique weapon, and they managed this for the most part, until Gali and Pohatu, who COMPLETELY dropped the ball in that regard. Gali can have a spear sure, it fits with the character, but maybe dont make it a spear with a random wheel and a keychain on it. Pohatu's spear is also lackluster, as it just adds a useless rock to the other end, a flail is a cool weapon for Pohatu, but they handled it terrible, when I get that set I already have planned out how I am going to mod his weapon to be a much better spearflail.

Use one of the bones with a pinhole for the upper arm. A skull spider mask can clip onto the fork at the top of the shoulder. The Vorox armor attaches to the upper arm in the same way as 2016 Gali's upper leg. Half-pins with studs (like the ones used on 2015 Onua's shoulder armor) allow the armor addon piece to attach. This is important to keep the skull spider mask from flopping around. The other end of the hose can attach to the open axle slot on the back of the Hordika neck used for Pohatu's shoulder.

The poseability is so-so because of the hose and the Vorox armor getting in the way, but you can still get some movement out of it.

There are a couple things you can do, one easy one if you have the parts is replacing that blue pin connected to the ball piece at the back with one of the newer versions of those that is black and has 2m of axle (+ shaped) rather than just one (this piece can be found on LoSS and Kulta off the top of my head), and then move the tail from the gear function onto the exposed upward facing axle created by swapping the parts in such a way (and then put a gear or something where the tail was)

This will move the center of gravity down a bit, marginally improving the wiggle.

If you want to completely get rid of the wiggle your gonna need to mod pohatu a bit too. You know those tiny light gray pins where one side is just big enough to fit a stud on it (Tahu Uniter has some useless ones on the backs of his lower legs)? Secure the uniter piece to the small torso with one of those, making it stable, but unable to unite with Pohatu as is.

So for Pohatu, remove the gray piece from his back, and replace THAT with another one of those light gray peg pieces.

You pretty much have to completely redo the body build of Ketar if you want it non-wobbly and still having its function and not having to mod Pohatu, with Ketar its probably best to just completely rework his function from the ground up. Might try to make MOC up one of these days.

>he used gen 1 furno's torso armour

I' recommend using a 3 long technic beam with a ball joint in it, then attaching some back armour

This, and the expanding ice could potentially damage the silicone. Contact with water also causes resin to bubble up like mad.

Holy shit, now I can't post from my phone because someone was distributing CP on the wireless carrier's network.

All I need is to be able to make a Bionicle out of ice. So, is there something I could use to make a mold for ice.

Nah that's furno 2.0's

I'll mess around with that suggestion though. I used to have Tahu Stars torso attached back there and it gave him the perfect thickness but it also left him w hideously exposed ball joints

So I guess my childhood dreams will never come true... Although, if I were to somehow make the mold out of plastic like those ice cube trays, perhaps it could work.

You could get some amazing mold putty and make some novelty mask-shaped ice cubes, but I doubt you'd be able to make anything as thin as a bionicle part

I just wanted something simple that's more or less an original mata in CCBS form. If I could fill out his back I'd be a happy camper.

What don't you like about it though, if I may ask? What would you do differently?

my main beef would be with the use of black for your skeleton, it gives a very different look to tahu and makes him look very toylike. I'd recommend maybe dark grey or even a small amount of trans-red over it

the head doesn't sit right with the mask in my eyes, I'd have used a metru/mahri/phantoka head instead

the feet similarly look odd, though I'm not sure what style of feet I'd recommend to replace them

I like the Metru legs

the hand looks fine, though idealy you'd want those T-shaped pieces in black though thats very hard to get.

there needs to be a bit of asymmetry with the arms, as one should be a thin, slightly bent arm designed to hold a blade with the other is a bulkier, arched arm.

the upper arm piece used here would perhaps look good on the lower arm, so he can point his blade forward, like in the animations of the mata toa

finally I really don't think the furno torso armour looks good but again, I'm not sure what I'd recommend to replace it

again these are just my thoughts and they're probably wrong

I'll have to experiment with the gray limbs, I do have them laying around. As for the different head, how would you go about connecting one of those to the neck balljoint on a CCBS torso? I don't do a lot of MOC'ing so I don't know the technique there.

I kinda like the feet myself, and they match the legs so yeah.

Yeah those gray T-shaped pieces are all I have. I see your point but don't think I care enough to bricklink them.

Arm asymmetry is a cool idea I hadn't considered. I'll try it out but I'm not sure what I could pull off with just CCBS bones.

Just tried the upper arm suggestion, doesn't really jive too well with me. Nice idea though.

And yeah, torso is all I have. I'd change that too but there aren't many more options.

I'll play around with bone color for certain and see what I get. Honestly, I think I'd be happy with it if I could just beef up his back. I managed to fit an orange armor piece from Tahu Stars back there but that doesn't add a lot of thickness at all, which is primarily what I'm looking for. A gearbox would do the trick but I like his arms as they are.

so is 2016 kopaka the only to a with no glaring problems? just finished building the 6 of them and they are all better than their 2015 counterparts (pohatu and gali only barely) but they all have really questionable design choices

also why the fuck doesn't the kopaka bundle come with a shadow trap? I want my hinges dammit!

Sorry, but it's shit. It's a hollow, bare-bones, lackluster build. And you've tried to coverup that fact by over-emphasizing the tits and ass.

Use small parts to fill out the limbs and torso so that the build doesn't look so empty.

Additionally, consider researching dynamic posing. It'll make your pictures more vibrant, and the subject more visually interesting, even if the build is sub-par.

Getting better. Now fill in those inner thighs.

And I'm honestly not trying to be a bully, I want to help you improve. But if you can't take constructive criticism for what it's worth, you should probably just stop doing everything forever.

Not every moc needs to be a tiddymonster. If your moc needs t&a, integrate it into the build, don't just slap them on. The pieces you're using for breasts are kinda large for the scale you're building in, too.

I know you're limited on parts, but focus less on mega milk, more on proportions and shaping.
