So what is everyone's plans for the future? Will you switch to making moc bionicles or go back to regular lego or wait for lego to announce something to fill this niche?

There was a Lego designer on the TTV JtO Makuta thread. He said he'd confirm the accuracy of some elements of the build and perhaps request more pictures on parts we had trouble with.

Can someone with a TTV account ask him to request more pictures of the Mask of Ultimate Power itself though? I want to see the piece alone from all angles, because I think it'd really help our Shapeways Mask Makers out.

It looks great so far. Could we maybe see it from the direct front? It's hard to tell how long those side-fins are from this angle.

Also, you plan on making it bigger than pic related right?

The Adaptive Nuva also had years of nostalgic character development to back them up despite the quality of the actual sets, though. I feel like most of the core Heroes barely got any of that.

So do you model professionally or is it a side thing?

Looks good, though. I agree with the other people who mentioned it: the smoothing you do is much needed over the jagged versions done by the other people.

Still cool to see people do this work to make up where Lego failed.

While that is true, though I will note that the forms the mistika/phantoka toa were designed really wouldn't be recognizable as their characters unless you were told. Even Kopaka's distinct mask was established to be just a recurring trend with white bionicles, given Nuju's toa mask, and thus his phantoka set could also have been someone we didn't know.
I will say that hero factory had some good sets. Granted, they were exceptions that proved the point that hero factory sets were usually sub par, but not everything to come out of that brand was bad.

Here are some shots from the official Flickr Gallery and a couple of constructive suggestions:

- The shaping of the fins that sweep backwards is a little off. They're not supposed to taper inwards toward the bottom but rather outwards a little.

- The bumps right of above the side fins should be a little more pronounced as well.

- A good point of reference for the overall size of the model is to make the center most circle of the forehead crest the exact same diameter as the circle on the foreheads of the MoC and MoCo.

Hope I've offered something helpful.

Should clarify, not the INNER most circle, but the one between that and the outer rim of the six segments. Sorry if that's confusing.

I still think the most important alteration you should make is the angle of the swept fins.

I'm waiting on LEGO to release something that isn't CCBS Star Wars. Until then I'll buy as much CCBS as possible before all Bionicle sets are gone for good.

If worse comes to worst, I might finally attempt to make a life-sized model of LEGO Island (from the old video game). Modern LEGO hardly interests me other than Mixels, and I've been meaning to try and recreate my other childhood love for years now.

2. There's a collection of photos on flickr from Dorek as well as a topic on TTV regarding the Ultimate Makuta instructions. (I currently don't have links, sorry)

3. Pretty good. Working on Ultimate Makuta myself and anticipating anon's MoUP, and in a weird way it's bringing closure building the big bad and making it feel like Bionicle wasn't actually cancelled and I'm not missing out on the one important set that would've come from 2017.

precisely, keep in mind that the actual injection molded part would include the "plastic entry area" as the same size and shape as literally all the other G2 masks thus far

People who think that something like Bionicle wouldnt click with kids nowadays is generally a lego shill who believes they can do know wrong and the only way something of theirs could do poorly is if it was the worlds fault, not theirs.

Bionicle has every ingredient it needs to be successful, its basically Avatar meets Power Rangers meets Transformers, you should be able to sell it to anyone at anytime with good marketing.

The problem with G2 was 100% marketing for sure, when you see Nexo Knights come out at the same time, launching with a television show, it becomes obvious that Lego is capable of making something popular. I feel like they just dont care about constraction or Bionicle, as it became very clear how small their marketting budget was overall.

There was also a clear misunderstanding of what made the original Bionicle popular when it came to the new one, Lego seemed to think that complex terms, lore, and various in-depth worldbuilding would confuse kids rather than intrigue them. As much as it may not be so in practice, today's kids should have everything they need to be MORE educated and capable of critical thought than the original Bionicle audience, and yet you seem to treat them like actual idiots.

Honestly i wouldnt be surprised if they stick with star wars ccbs only, until those sales start to stagnate, if they ever do

The thing is are those sets really doing that well? I see lots of them at every store that sells lego but i cant til if shelves are stocked full because they arent moving or employees fill shelves daily

That makes sense. But to cause more confusion, in the first episode Narmoto says "The SEARCH for One" instead. What the fuck does that mean? And if WE don't know, how does HE?

Is "ONE" supposed to be the Mask of Control? I don't fucking know anymore.

I think the idea is that the MoCo, MoC, and maybe even golden Unity masks were designed by ancient Okotans, so they're all mystical and shut with indecipherable runes. The MoUP and Protector masks were designed by the more modern Mask Makers, so they don't have those motifs.

I think this is actually somewhat decent enough to enter in the Makuta building contest. Keep in mind I haven't MOCed seriously ever before, other than a couple small things here and there. What do you guys think? (3/3)

I wanted to tell the kid that all systems are cross compatible and that Bionicle is awesome, but I'm not sure I had the tolerance at that point to convey it without blowing my lid and mouthing off the father for being a close-minded prick. He looked like the kind of lunatic that would shout back saying bullshit like "don't tell me how to raise my son!"

If I don't, I feel responsible for Bionicle's low sales as I'm not introducing kids to the theme.

In an alternate universe, Bionicle G1 never ended. It just got bigger and bigger until LEGO had to basically make an entire separate division devoted to Bionicle.

TV shows, good video games, comic books, a theatrical film or two. CCBS still became a thing, and the sets were very mediocre like the Hordika, but they got better and re-released the Toa Mata in CCBS form for a special 15th anniversary series.

To some, Bionicle felt run to the ground. The plot got more and more convoluted as more and more plot points reared their heads. Either way, the universe was extremely fleshed out like any major comic or movie series, with no stone left unturned.

Velika was only one of a bigger group of beings who thought the Matoran Universe was a bad idea. Alien invaders come to Spherus Magna, total war breaks out. Makuta is resurrected and plays second fiddle to whatever big bad is in each arc.

But no. We just got two year reboot of decent sets and a plot that makes Saturday morning cartoons look like Citizen Kane. End my life.

Lego is ran by old men who think fleshed-out stories are bad for children's imaginations, so they wanted to bring Bionicle back for its sales without bringing back what made the series popular. They realized early on that half-assing the series wasn't going to work, so they pulled the plug rather than learn from their mistake and correct it.

We're lucky we got anything resembling closure. These are the same assholes who were going to flip the switch in 2009 and tell us to make up our own ending.

I just realized that, if we actually aren't getting any constraction besides Star Wars stuff in the near future, we probably won't be seeing many vibrant colors in CCBS for a while. That kind of sucks.

That's not a bad thing. I got nauseous when I saw Ahkmou's brown in person on Christmas 2003(early LS@H release), and that nasty-looking gold on my new Takanuva Nikes didn't help. I might've been sick with something, but those two colors made my stomach churn for a while because they looked like puke at a glance.

So here's My attempt at a Femakuta. Be gentle, it's My first bonkle MOC ever.

The idea was to try and tie her to the Skull villains, the bigger pieces are attached to her her thighs to the sides for some Hartman hips. I also added extenders on both sides to try and give her leeeeeeeegs. The hammer is just something thrown together quickly, as I'll probably take this apart sooner than later.

I had a quick shot at it, just removed 2016 ekimus legs and attached his waist articulation to 2015 ekimus shoulder one. had to rebuild 2015's legs with a bunch of friction to get him to stand up though.

wasn't sure what style ekimu's stand would be, but as it's bursting with raw energy, i figured a strong, star platinum style shot would look cool. kinda just looks like a 4 armed, two headed ekimu though...

Honestly I think Master Pohatu is one of the better masters. the silver on one arm makes it look almost robotic (or at the very least, the asymentry looks great). this combined with his height and amazingly sculpted mask (one of my favourite G2) give him a real personality. Plus if you want more brown in him you can sacrifice some protector parts (his protector is also one of the best protectors)

having said that, no idea how to not make his stand not look like puke with all the different pallets used.

glad you like the ones I've made so far, the Gali one was really just for the pose, gona straighten the uniter up a bit, space her away a little and add more fishy things to her (like the creatures tail)

Can anyone who built jto makuta help me out a bit? I've got the legs complete, but that's about it. Based on the pics from flickr I'm having issues with how pretty much everything else is built. Can anyone whos built it post some shots of individual parts from a front and side view? Any help is appreciated.

That's better than I expected, actually, especially with a first time MOC. I'm still tinkering with the hammer build, but I think she sets out My goals pretty well, which was to make a skull villainess and be simple enough to fit in with official skull sets.

I'm tempted to submit her for the Makuta contest. Most of the other submissions so far are overdesigned clusterfucks.

The fact that G2 gave us good MOCing parts and we have the ability to build some form of Makuta as a sendoff is good enough for me.

He probably is a lot stronger than others of his race. Being the leader of the world's largest mercenary organization implies a high level of training and experience, plus great access to tech/drugs/whatever else MU inhabitants can use to boost their strength.
But if a species who all had free unlimited teleportation (Botar's) barely impacted the story, I wouldn't rule out the possibility of one strong enough to fight Makuta just chilling on some random island either.

Okay, I managed to reconstruct the text via Google.

(1/2)
The last HF episode "Invasion from below" became the most watched piece of content on LEGO's website the year it came out. At the same time it marked the end of the short life of Hero Factory. It was criticised for a lot of different reasons but here are a few personal views on this battered factory.

"Invasion from Below" was made on a very low budget by Advance and Ghost who made all the original Bionicle animations. The episode was a struggle because the storyline got changed dramatically during production. It was definitely ment to be continued because (of cause) the Queen wasn't gone and the case wasn't closed for HF. The voice actor changes was done for budget reasons because we didn't have budget for the the original voice actors.

Having worked on both Bionicle and HF from the very beginning I can tell you that the work that went into creating the HF universe was much more deep than the early foundation of Bionicle. We wanted to use all we had learned from Bionicle but make something that was really different from Bionicle yet as epic and big and therefore we created what we called a "realtime IP" meaning that this was not a legend, it was actually happening now somewhere in another galaxy. We wanted to mirror present day but in a tech build-up. In some way inspired by the humor of The Incredibles by Pixar.

The backstory of HF is extremely deep and epic and hold secrets that were never used. They are still in the huge concept bible that I keep. I hope to get to show them and do a extensive blogpost about HF and it's creation on this blog when the time is right. A last note is that Hero Factory was only meant as a location springboard into this vast story universe and the story was meant to get much more personal when the real truth about the factory was discovered. The idea of a factory that builds cocky heros made to specifications was actually a provocation to the whole legendary hero story we had told in Bionicle. The real hero would be found somewhere else...:) to be continued...

I'm seriously considering Bricklink. Been meaning to for months now. It'll probably be cheaper than buying the full sets in store, but shipping is my concern. How do you guys go about with domestic shops and shipping?

Good lord, I can see them exhuming shelf warmth. People skipped the more iconic SW sets like Vader. What makes LEGO think these won't tank at least just as badly?

Kinda interesting pieces, but I'm not paying 5€ to have "Star" and another 5€ for "Wars" printed on a box I'm going to throw away.

The robot is straight out of a concentration camp run by space krauts. The trooper is a very expensive army builder. The token chick is giving off some might uncanny valley with her head. The only reason to buy her would be to give her to Hugebricks and ask he works his magic on her.

Also the pictures have been removed. What other Rogue One sets were there?

Part of the reason behind my joke. I don't know about you guys but I tired of being served nazis in various forms. Normal nazis, space nazis, zombie nazis, modern nazis, mutant fantasy nazis.
I know the jews are trying to bleed them dry for money and victim priviledge, but fuck's sake. Oversaturation.
Evil states can come in many different forms. Totalarian states, morally decaying states, well intentioned extremist states, impersonal states that manage people like just another resource (soviet).

>>5849545

My guess is that either the people would eventually rise on their own, the villain factory villains would realize they can decide their moral alignment for themselves, or the heroes would realize it and stay good not because they were built to act like it but because they feel like it.

Or Zeeb would commit Matoro for your sins.

Kopaka was more of a vocal asshole.
Tahu was less of an asshole.
Gali was more intolerant.
Lewa was less of a loner and more friendly.
Onua was... honestly about the same for the most part.
Pohatu was an entirely different character all-together.

I think the only change I actually liked was Pohatu. He wasn't at all G1 Brotahu no, but I sort of liked his new personality, especially in 2015... In fact I feel like these characters in JTO were not only different from their G1 counterparts, but also different from their own selves from 2015.

The changes didn't seem to contribute anything to the plot, and the Toa themselves were pretty two-dimensional compared to G1. To me it felt like they were just making them different for the sake of it.

Kopaka trying to take charge didn't really go anywhere and just felt weird, Pohatu going from arguably the most down to earth of the bunch to an asshole ruined my favorite Toa, Tahu flat out didn't even have a personality in year two (though it was refreshing to see him out of the spotlight for once), and Gali's character was as flat as a board.

I didn't like how they did a total 180 on Pohatu at first, but I reminded myself that this isn't G1, so change should be expected. I actually liked him in the webisodes, a shame they rewrote him again for JtO. Of course, I missed his chemistry with Kopaka, but then again, ALL the Toa severely lacked interactions.

As a whole, I didn't really mind their characterization in the webisodes, apart from Gali who basically received none.

Their JtO personas were another matter. Lewa was okay but I missed his jerkish behavior. Onua was for the most part great, probably his best animated representation so far since MNOG (also dug his voice, it didn't make him sound like a dumb brute).

The rest were shit. Pohatu wasn't a quiet badass anymore, just a stubborn jerk, Tahu and Gali were nobodies, and what the fuck was up with Kopaka? He certainly wasn't his G1 self, nor his "I didn't slip and I hate fire" self from the animations. Seems like he was a wastebasket for random personality traits that should have been given to the others. It was as if G1 Pohatu and Kopaka were given the task to play each other's roles and failed at it.

You're being too harsh. 2016 Pohatu had the spotlight, character development, was strong on his own, was the only toa to lay a hand on Umarak, and he managed to take the mask away from him. I haven't watched the last two episodes yet though.

Also his toy's flail weapon makes the most out of the fuction.

I found mine on clearance at Target. Try going to B&N's website and click "Available for Pick Up In Store". If a local store has it, you can reserve it online and they'll email you when they've found it on the shelf/in the back. Then you pick it up. TRU as a last resort. I don't even bother with Walmart in my area, since the two closest to me only have about 30 Skull Scorpio's each.

I don't blame the kids not buying G2, why would they buy Bionicle with no knowledge of what it even is. Even the lego magazine Bionicle never tried to attract readers like g1 did with a comic or reason to like it. There was no tv show, and I doubt kids would just randomly look up Bionicle on youtube just to find the 2015 shorts. I'm going to repeat what everyone else has said, Bionicle was dead on arrival that had no support.

Aesthetic, literally. I personally find he's about as stable as any of the 2016 Toa and his heels work a lot better than Skull Slicer since they're centered rather than attached to one side.

I find Storm Beast is more likely to fall over in my experience since he uses these tiny little technic pieces for his heels that don't do anything to redistribute the weight his back gimmick adds unless you angle him forward at the hips, which he doesn't benefit from with his stock build because of how his neck is built.

Maybe if you bumped him forward, but I find his stability really good, and I think better than the Skull Warriors and Skull Slicer.

I don't think he would benefit appearance-wise from large feet since he's supposed to be a flyer, but that's just me trying to apply real-world biology logic to a fictional character that could never exist in real life as a living creature.

Yup. Doesn't even use those blades, which it doesn't use for combat since it spouts lava from every extremity in JtO.

That sucks man, I haven't had to deal with FedEx yet personally (European and all). The most I had to wait on a package was when I won a $100 BrickLink order from a MOC contest, UPS delivered it but customs slowed it down due to the value, and it was from the U.S. too.

JtO doesn't see the blades as proper wings or actual weapons. Lava Beast literally hovers in the air as a "fuck you" to unification.

I honestly don't feel like buying 100$ worth of sets to only use select bits from each.
I'd happily buy a finished MoUP Makuta from someone, though.
I just don't have the time to bricklink this much.

Actually a lot parts are used, true there are a fair amount of left overs, but now I can work on my Skull Golem and a revamp of an older MOC.

I already got every set, and sort of contemplating getting UtH and Onua Uniter again to make the shadow clone, but after making JtO Makuta I don't think I need to waste more money on sets.

I already had half the sets for JTO Makuta, so I just said fuckit and ordered the remaining sets.

The downer is I'll probably want to buy a second set of the two Umaraks. The Hunter won't be a problem, but the Destroyer has disappeared here.

Maybe a picture will better catch your attention.

Am I doing this right? It seems like there shouldn't be a gap here. All I know is that attaching small orange shells to those ball joints is wrong, because if that were correct, they'd be visible in the official pictures.

It's an opinion to say the mask is awesome, but it's outright wrong to say it's feminine or looks anything like the previous Kaukau's.

I was thinking of doing the same thing, but still on the fence about it. For me it's hard to justify buying the sets to make it when the model was shown for less than 10 secs.

Yea, then again same goes for Makuta but he was at least supposed to be the main focus villain or something so he had that going for him, but for the shadow clone not so much on its side.

I think we were more hyped up by the Makuta challange video that leaked right before the new episodes. Even if we didn't get a Makuta set, seeing those those titan combinations and the MoUP was pretty exciting. It seemed like we were all but guaranteed at least the MoUP as a finishing set.

And then the cancellation news broke.

Makuta is at least a character who we saw for a little bit more than the shadow spawns who just came and went within seconds. I agree the model is cool which is why I'm also on the fence, but it almost seems like a waste. Even the ice shadow traps had more screen time then the shadow spawn.

My inspiration is pic related but rainbows aren't very intimidating. Unless I suppose you've somehow agitated an entire pride parade into becoming a violent mob or something.

I think unless you want to go against the "instructions" you'll just have to accept the gap. Mine has it too, it doesn't bother me near as much as some of the other iffy spots on him, or that you can hardly pose the legs, etc. NOT TO MENTION NOT HAVING THE MoUP REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
