Bionicles

Don't die, thread D:

Anyway, I'm still doing research on those beta disks of that old Bionicle game. Still haven't found anything useful, though :(

Isn't anyone going to ask how I made footheads? I'll show a disassemmbled one if you guys want.

[Shadowed999]

How did you make foot heads,Qwep?

[Blocklandian354]

i have ones from 2001through2010

quality clueless child here, folks.
Vahki heads were around five pieces. Toa heads were two.

Four*
The face, back of the head, mask, and connecter rod (spine/neck).

I am not having much luck making a dragon because I have trouble making the head.

Basically adding dragonish features to my titan, and making him be able to stand up better without support of his weapons and the wall. The tail is hard to place in too.

This thread needs a bump, so even though nobody asked, I'll post instructions on how to make those heads.

ok so here's how to make the rahkshi-foot head
you will need these pieces

the eye fixture is straightforward enough, so I'll focus on how to build the harness in the middle.

The harness is made up of these parts, and go together like that part on the right.


You should attach it to the eye fixture like this. The foot will go on those two pegs.


Once you do that, you'll get this.

The foot will be a little loose, but I found out how to fix that.

Looking closer at the bottom of the eye fixture, you'll see that the front is in front of a little divider at the front of the foot. After some fiddling about, you should hear a click as the front end slips up under the divider. That will lock the foot in place for the most part.


That harness will work with most feet, but while some of them look kind of cool, the rahkshi foot is the best.

Now, there is a more specialized way of making a harness for that last gold foot there, I'll upload pics of those next.

Oh yeah! I'm done! Head was an ass to make. The weapons aren't as huge for the sake of stability.

The wings aren't that big either, just enough to make it stand. For the tail, it's a bit slim but will suffice.

Guys, holy forget.

That's a whole thread about trying to get Lego to allow the online distribution of one of the pre-release in-development disks of the original Bionicle PC game.

The only person that is known to have one of those disks is someone that goes by the name "Deep Brick," and he/she won't upload the disk's contents to the internet unless Lego grants permission.

I am totally not Pokamu.

For the other "helmet", you need these pieces.

I can't remember where I got that 1x3 pipe, but it's a crucial piece. Also it has bent over the years, so I don't think simply cutting down a 1x4 tube (like the lightsaber blades) would work.

Now, you have to put the bohrok arm/leg in between the two halves of the harness while you put it together, because you can't just stick it in afterwards.


Just put the eye fixture in there, like so, and shove that circular peg through the x-shaped hole. Those highlights just show how you will put the foot on.

Without the 1x3 tube, you'd have the same looseness problem as you might have with the rahkshi foot at first.

When it's done, it looks like this.




I would love to see camera's titan with a head like this, because these seem a little too large for the smaller scale sets.

Toa Nokama was the one of the two first bionicles I got

[ChexGuy331]

my toa are gettin' dusty :(

[Qwepir]

I never understood what those things on pohatu's hands were
I always thought they looked like droideka blasters
and then Nuhvok came out, which could actually roll into a ball

[yuki]

I still think Rahkshi were the last good ones.

Seriously the Rahkshi were badass. The acid one was the coolest.
