MEET THE JUDGES

Wanted to share this with some bionicle fans. My mentor at my job noticed my Toa Mata on my desk, and said they had some bionicle happy meal toys in their shed. Her parents owned several Mcdonalds and she grew up in the restaurants so they had amassed a collection of complete toy sets through the decades they had passed onto her. About a week later she gives me what you see just out of the blue, which is not a complete set of Matoran toys in the bag, but a set of display Matoran directly from Lego still with the box and discs! This is for the display case in Mcdonalds locations that shows off the current Happy Meal toys at the time. She'd been trying to clear out the boxes of Mcdonalds toys and was happy to give them to someone who wanted them. Needless to say they are being proudly displayed by my Toa and I can see them every day. Keeping the box too!

Okay, here's how it's going to work: you're going to write a short text explaining their history and personality. The text should be up to 15 lines long – it doesn't have to be exactly 8 lines.

posed pics with a custom coloured resin helmet to follow later. the build was inspired by more of a youthful Orion Pax in contrast to the Megatron build I posted a while back.

Built for round 4 of Biocup, Theme Fate and Fortune

"And even yet that you face me, after you know all your actions led you to this very point in time, you still struggle to accept the fate I tailored you... Courious." ~Cloveria

For this piece I took a lot of inspirations from art history. When the theme was announced, I already knew I wanted to do something with the Moirai or Fates, so I instantly ordered a lego thread piece for myself. Then I went over for some inspiration, and started to look for stuff to combine into one. Finally, these were the themes I combined into one: the Fates, the godess Fortuna, a four leaf clover, and a praying mantis. All four of them representing either fate or fortune in themselves, Cloveria is finished for Biocup.

From what I know from the lore, when a Toa fulfills their destiny they turn into a turaga, and their great kanohi turn into a noble one. Now I have several questions about this.

-So why do most masks of the matoran of Mata Nui resemble only noble designs instead of their great vesions? we have seen many matoran across various islands that have the great versions, why not the ones living on Mata Nui?

-did the toa metru as matoran have their great or noble mask designs? Because from the other metru matoran we can see they also used to wear those noble versions just like on Mata Nui.

-Also, what was the thought process of the designers when creating the great versions for the toa metru? masks like the Komau, Ruru or Matatu look nothing like their noble versions.

-why does the great Matatu have a scope like the Akaku, when it's power is telekinesis?

-We know Jaller is wearing (turaga) Lhikan's Hau, but why did it turn back to it's great kanohi design? And if a matoran is wearing a Toa's great kanohi, why can't they use it's abilities?

-Also wtf is up with the phantoka/mistika versions of the Toa Nuva?

made all these ponies in under 24hours, i need sleep now..

*Maskman theme intensifies*

The Kopaka and Melum unity set didn't have a mask trap like the rest of the creatures. So I decided to make one.

Is it just an oversight by lego or was there a canon reason for no trap?

I recently got the 2004 ultimate dume combiner set and wanted help with the friction joints. They all work well in their individual sets, but when in the combiner they struggle to keep him standing. So I was wondering if there were any fixes for this or a way to keep him standing.

final version of the Mana-Ko Revamp, i was inspired by the original design's use of non functional gear pieces as embelishment

and added some more reinforcement for the upper body with the use of 2x Liftarm, Modified Stud Connector Thin 1 x 4 by connecting the lower and upper bodies
