    Yes. He has all the Rahkshi powers plus a couple of extra Makuta-specific ones.

    How many different Toa teams were there? Cause from I gathered, their seemed to be focus on two specific groups.

    Mata/Nuva and Inika/Mahri.

    As do the rest of the Makuta. Can't recall if Teridax was particularly powerful among his species, though I want to say he was given his status as Miserix's lieutenant and later leader of the Makuta as a whole.

    That reminds me, at the end of Bionicle Tahu becomes... probably the most obscenely powerful Toa in the entire series thanks to the Golden Armor, granting him the powers of all the Kraata. He doesn't even need the armor to use it, he just has them now.

    It's a pity that the tradeoff is that he's a Stars figure.

    No. I love my Stars figures. I just wish replacement parts from Lego were easier to get.

    So it has been around 2 years since I've first shown this.

    Here's him, the AS-3 Antlion, in the present.

    Might as well show some other MoCs I've been working on. Neither of them have any true names yet.

    Three main ones in terms of sets of figures-- Mata/Nuva, Metru/Hordika, Inika/Mahri. One third of the Toa Hagah were released as well, and I think there were a couple one-off Toa like Lhikan, Takanuva, and Lesovikk.

    I think the Toa Metru were my personal favorite in terms of figures. Obviously the Toa Mata started it all, but the Metru being able to pose like that was really neat. Knees and elbows were kinda novel back then. I liked their masks as well, although they weren't as iconic as the Mata's. I liked their proportions better than the Inika for sure; they were pretty flat-looking even if they had better colors than the Metru. I dunno why they had all that grey during those years; I feel like if they'd used proper secondary colors (like the Piraka had colored joint pieces) they'd look a helluva lot better out the box.

    General question for the thread, I suppose: there were a few sets that went through the idea phase before being scrapped (Toa Iruini and Norik were originally supposed to be Nidhiki and Dume, for instance). Which ones would y'all have liked to have seen get made? Apparently there was going to be a Toa Ahkmou set produced in 2008 and he was going to be a Toa of Shadow to go along with the Makuta that came out that year, and I thought it was a neat idea. The Piraka had that kinda Toa-but-corrupted thing going on, but I'd have liked to see what they did with Ahkmou. Although... considering what the Toa Nuva looked like that year, perhaps he'd not have been recognizable as himself...

    I would have absolutely loved to have gotten Toa Ahkmou. The Takanuva set we got instead was fine by all accounts, but man, what a missed opportunity.

    I redid all 5 of my reboot toa (i did not get gali for some reason) and all 4 bionicle beasts (i did not get the air one or the ice one for some reason) i made these to be in scale with hero factory and i got rid of the arm swinging gimmick i would like to credit @Bountyhunter3232 for Lewa and Pohatu hopefully this thread gets restarted but without further ado


    Here is Tahu 20190723_144623.jpg 20190723_144709.jpg 20190723_144752.jpg i changed his swords because i thought the other ones were too big (and they broke but i was not going to use them for him anyway) 20190723_145953.jpg with some Photo editing skills (which i lack) this could be a really cool photo

    Next is Lewa 20190723_150400.jpg 20190723_150407.jpg 20190723_150714.jpg

    And next is Onua i extended his drill hammer because i thought the official one was too short and i took out the gear waist swivel 20190723_151206.jpg 20190723_151257.jpg here is a gun i based off of the 2008 Onua 20190723_151325.jpg 20190723_151427.jpg 20190723_151436.jpg 20190723_151335.jpg here are some Shots of the chest incase anyone wants to see how i did it 20190723_151547.jpg 20190723_151557.jpg 20190723_151604.jpg 20190723_151656.jpg

    Next is Pohatu 20190723_151901.jpg 20190723_151914.jpg 20190723_151935.jpg 20190723_152007.jpg 20190723_152019.jpg one of the coolest parts of Pohatu is the he has chain swords 20190723_152110.jpg ah classic 2001 Pohatu style 20190723_152214.jpg 20190723_152239.jpg and last but not least and most definitely my favorite Kopaka 20190723_152335.jpg i took inspiration from his Nuva design for the big sword/spear thing and i took inspiration from the 2001 version for his shield 20190723_152508.jpg 20190723_152522.jpg 20190723_153210.jpg SKIS! Again i took inspiration from his Nuva design 20190723_153221.jpg thats it for the toa next is Bionicle beasts!
