Day 7: It Ends In Fire

...

Welcome, one and all, to the final day of CUSTOM WEEK! I’ll be showing one of my OWN CREATIONS a’ukoGSFH(SF&PG&WIOY*OSDU*TS:AFI:GUI:ASG&IAU

Sorry. I’m seeing my doctor in a week.

Anyway, it’s a bionicle. (Surprise) He’s my first ever attempt at a MOC titan. Without further ado, here is…

VAKAMA XL

VAKAMA XL

Here he is. My first MOC titan. Inspiration struck when I replaced Onewa’s limbs with Axonn’s. (Note: This WOULD be Onewa, but I have many red parts and not many brown ones.) So anyway, I got the parts, experimented, and voila! Here are some other reasons I like my first titan MOC.

I made sure that it all worked fine (believe it or not, the arms and weapon took about 1 hour to get right. —->

And I made sure to make the feet unique.

I completely abandoned the disc shooter and replaced it with a scythe. (It looks much better)

<—He’s definitely taller than normal toa metru.

And finally, he has spheres in his arms that allow you to pose them! Gnarly!

(Yes, I just used the word gnarly in a sentence. Sorry if I’m 2cool4u.)

For a first try, I think he’s pretty good. But he does have his flaws. For example, his right arm is alway’s falling off, and the blade of his weapon doesn’t stay in place. But other than that, I really like this guy!

Well, I hope you enjoyed Custom Week! I know I did. Well, See you next time!!!

LEGO Review- Botar

Another week brings another review! This time it’s…

BOTAR!

BOTAR!

Who would have thought id do this? Me, of course. Anyway, this is how I review things. I write the pros, then the cons, my thoughts and a final rating. Now, LET’S RUMBLE!!!!!!

"I HATE SPIDERS!"

“I HATE SPIDERS!”

Pros:

  • Awesome design
  • Suprisingly ballanced on his 2 feet (for a bionicle of his size)

    (Bad) shot of his blades.

    (Bad) shot of his blades.

  • Very tall
  • Poseable jaw
  • Arms stay up very easily
  • Cool hidden blades —->
  • Poseable thumbs
What is this?

What is this?

Cons:

  • Instructions are very tedious and confusing at times
  • Cannot lift 1 leg a little without it tipping or falling
  • Weapon looks really stupid (and, ironiclly, is the smallest of all of them) <—–

My Thoughts:

I really, REALLY like this guy. Even though I had trouble FINDING the instructions online, his awsome design, suprisingly good balance, poseablity and overall playability make up for that. Although I despise the weapon, I usually just take it off, and then I just use the blades. An overall great set, and definetly one of my favourites.

Vezon: Please have mercy on me! I’ll do anything!
Botar: Naaaaaaaaaaa B.

Rating:

I give this bionicle a 4.5 out of 5 stars. Why? I don’t like giving out perfect rankings. (And the instructions.) If you have Axonn and Brutaka and you’re looking for a challenge, I definetly recommened you build this big behemoth, Botar!

"Shrimp"

“Shrimp”

Oh, and so you don’t have the same problem as I did finding the instructions, here’s a link:

…could you do better?
