My Bionicle 2016 Mods

[DOTM Shockwave]

Instead of posting images of my mods in the 2016 Topic, I decided to make a new one to show them off.

First I'll start with the two creatures, Ikir and Terak:

Ikir:

Front

Back

Terak:

Back is pretty much the same as Ikir's.

Notes: Regarding the creature's gimmick: While I found the gimmicks fun to mess with, I didn't like the technic backpack they had due to it, so I removed it. Personally, I found Terak looks better with the silver PoU than the gold one.

Next the two Toa, Lewa and Pohatu:

Lewa:

Front

Back

Pohatu:

Front

Back

Upper torso assembly

Shoulder pad assembly

Notes: Lewa is pretty much the same as in my previous image, save for the lower legs and eyes. I wasn't aware Pohatu only came with two dark tan shells (error on my part), so he's using silver ones until I can get a hold of more dark tan shells.

Finally Umarak:

Front

Back

Upper torso assembly front

Upper torso assembly back

Lower leg assembly

Bow assembly

Notes: Since I had no plans on ever using the "Unity" gimmick with Umarak, I modded his upper back to remove said connection points.

These are pretty cool mods. I especially like Umarak's.

I have similar plans with Umarak but I'm going to change his bow to use the Star Wars constraction blaster and have extra green bolts on his right leg.

Perhaps this topic could be changed so everyone can post there 2016 Mods like the old 2015 one.

Not a bad idea, but how I would go about getting the topic's name changed?

Hopefully somebody finds a way to mod out Melum's gear function. My attempts just don't have decent end results.

I like all of them except Lewa. I feel like you removed the parts of him that were unique and special and made him more of a generic build.

i also think it was an odd choice to replace the gold PoU on Terak with a silver one when he already has gold armor and head. Pohatu is heads over tails better than the official set and I like what you did with Umarak's legs, although I would suggest putting some Bohrok eyes on those axles sticking out of his ankles, it would complete the smooth look and just having those stick out there kinda ruins an otherwise great design. I like the mods to the bow, although personally I will add bow strings to mine like I did with the PoJ and Skull Warrior. This can be achieved with system strings with studs on the ends, system chains, or even connecting thin, hollow system tubes, if that's something that interests you.

I see what you mean about the generic build, though at one point I did try to give Lewa a build similar to his official look, but it didn't come out looking the way I wanted it.

As odd as it seems, I like the contrast the two colors make.

Regarding Umarak's leg build, I hate the axle rod sticking out as well, but unfortunately I don't have another piece/parts I could put there to achieve the look I want (well I do, but not in the color I want), so until then, he's stuck I that. Also, I didn't really like how a bohrok eye piece look there.

Interesting idea, I'll might try it out to see how it looks.
