LEGO Bionicle MOC: Takanuva, Master of Light

Another quick "storyline expansion" model, this time, it's a MOC of what a possible Toa Takanuva could look like in the 2015 Bionicle canon.
Yes, I know he doesn't have an Avohkii on, but I worked with what I could. Lewa's new mask looks nothing like the 2001 Miru, now does it?

He carries two light polearms and has a gearbox function on his back that is different from the one I used on my Tahu mock-up.

P.S. Credit for the gearbox design goes to Eurobricks user Leewan.

LEGO Bionicle MOCs: Protector of Plasma & Protector of Light

Just two "extended storyline" Bionicle MOCs I whipped up using existing parts: a Protector of Plasma and a Protector of Light, based on the Protector of Ice mock-up I made a while back.
It's unknown whether or not the elements of Plasma or Light will exist in the Bionicle canon starting in 2015, but these were just two quick storyline expansions.

LEGO Bionicle MOC: Tahu, Master of Fire (preliminary photo edition)

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER
This MOC was put together in no more than five minutes in LDD and is a "best effort" representation of the figure based on the August 2014 preliminary photo leaks. It uses existing parts from before 2015, and is not intended to be an exact replica in any way, shape, or form. Thank you.


Another Bionicle 2015 MOC, and probably my last mock-up (or should I say, MOC-up) of a 2015 set. This one is of set 70787 Tahu, Master of Fire.



The 2015 Toa have what appear to be gear functions on their back, so I incorporated a simple gearbox into his design (modified from a design by Eurobricks user "The Kumquat Alchemist").


LDD did not have any pieces sufficient for building his lavaboard, so I abstained from using the lavaboard.

Unfortunately, this is my last 2015 Bionicle MOC, but there will be more Bionicle MOCs in general in the future.

LEGO Bionicle MOC: Protector of Ice (preliminary photo edition)

Just a quick MOC of 70782 Protector of Ice that I built just to experiment and say "what if."

Bionicle 2015 CONFIRMED!
