so what kind of projectile drop do we think the various long range weapons have? My gut tells me the 'blasters', (cordak blasters, midak skyblasters, ninrah ghostblasters) are more like firearms, with decent range and minimal bullet drop, while 'launchers' (Zamora sphere launchers, thornax launchers) have less range and more of an arc to them. Disk launchers obviously launch frisbee like projectiles which seems to be somewhat self propelled? Rhotuka spinners definitely have the best range of them all irl, but it's hard to say if that translates to lore. Squid launchers are in a category of their own, I'd say they're almost just an aiming device with self propelled ammo, that's able to track and switch targets.

The instant I saw the circular support beam 77107 i knew i could make an approximation of one of Nuparu Mahri's prototype models utilizing the piece. I almost used a longer, Technic-built cannon to better mimic the blaster of the prototype in question, but I decided a functioning Cordak Blaster would be more interesting. I used the Rahkshi feet and Inika shoulder armor in non-production colors for effect, as well as a recreation of the prototype's kitbashed mask, but otherwise this build is entirely replicable using real pieces.

Kongu is definitely carrying weapons against the Toa Code (in the same sense that Matoro's Tryna is technically against Toa rules) but he doesn't know there are weapons against the Toa Code so it's okay. Dume knows as soon as he gets back to Metru Nui but you know what? what the kid doesn't know and that keeps the city safer won't hurt him. Cordak blaster you say?? no he's never heard of that. definitely it wasn't confiscated from Pit criminals who committed unspeakable atrocities. nope. no worries

Random Human-AU character-design notes, some of which probably won't make sense to anyone else since I haven't actually properly designed them yet.
Whenua is bald, even before becoming a Turaga.
Vezon looks basically the same as Vezok but thinner and younger. The Ignika is fused to his mechanical skeleton (since the MU inhabitants are actually extremely humanlike robots).
Masks are replaced with geometric, "artificial"-looking face markings that roughly resemble the canon mask designs, sometimes supplemented with other things (e.g Onua has a series of horizontal lines on his cheeks, along with two beads threaded into his beard that match up with the small circular holes on the Pakari's chin); the markings glow when the characters use their mask powers. The Inika's are smoother and more natural-looking.
Nidhiki, the Hordika, the Rahaga, the Barraki and the Mistika Makuta are all animal-human hybrids with varying degrees of (semi-technological) body-horror. Pre-mutation they just look like the rest of the MU's highly-humanlike beings. The eel-mode Piraka also look more fishlike rather than just being disembodied heads and spines. Since the Magnans are actual humans, the Vorox and Zesk are fully organic and have some actual body-horror going on, with insectoid mandibles made of bone, arm-like tails, and extra eyes with uneven sockets and distorted pupils.
Spinax looks like a wolf made out of crustacean parts.
The VNRT have stitched together, decayed "skin" that leaves their endoskeletons partially exposed, with outsized limb-sockets visibly attached with crude weld-trails and irregularly-placed rivets. Their weapons are attached to their wrist-sockets. Also their eyes are pitch-black, as a reference to their set-forms' lack of eyestalks and also partially due to author-appeal.
The Inika have glowing lines extending back from their fingertips, all the way up to their wrists; the lines' shapes match with their respective elements (Jaller's are curved like flames; Hahli's flow like waves, with bubble-like circles mixed in; Nuparu's resemble crystalline facets; Kongu's look like stylised clouds, with lots of swirls and spirals; Hewkii's resemble cracked stone; Matoro's are long and jagged, with small points that branch off). Upon becoming the Mahri, the lines stop glowing, becoming markings that are slightly lighter than their regular skin tone.
While wearing the Adaptive Armour, the Toa Nuva look like more solid versions of their 2008 set forms, with different proportions.
The Vahki look like their LOMN designs; the Maxilos robots look like their set-forms, but slightly more "filled in" and with extra details like a glowing mouth-grille in their "mouth", and bioluminescent barnacles growing on parts of them.
Roodaka wears the Makuta-stone fragment as a necklace.
Tuyet's hair is based on Galva's original Mask of Intangibility design. Her Toa Empire counterpart has it tied back.
Av-Matoran (and, by extension, Shadow Matoran) have exotic hair-colours, as opposed to everyone else whose hair is more realistically-coloured (with a few exceptions who explicitly have dyed hair, e.g Dalu). Shadow Matoran have darker hair that fades to dark-grey towards the tips. Takua's hair changes from teal to literally-golden when he becomes Takanuva.
Toa Tools that "replace" the arm/hand of a character (e.g Hewkii's Cordak Blaster, Pohatu's propeller things) are either just handheld or take the form of gauntlets (in terms of the examples, the former is handheld and the latter become gauntlets).
Toa Ignika looks a lot more artificial than everyone else, with a wood-like texture on his body and frame, visible joints on his hands and limbs, and no face underneath his mask.
Mata Nui's form while on Spherus Magna looks like an animate sandstone statue with faded paint.
Shapeshifted Makuta retain some element of their main form (e.g Antroz's vehicle-piloting form (which, in this AU, is his default form) looks like his main '08 form but smaller and without the additional vampire-y bits; Miserix has feathers resembling his main form's hair).
Hydraxon's helmet covers his entire head and face, and has opaque lenses. Dekar!Hydraxon looks exactly the same underneath the helmet, but without a beard and with red eyes instead of green.
After being possessed by a Krana, Lewa has a marking on his face where it was; this vanishes when he becomes a Toa Nuva.
Annona is still a horrifying eldritch monstrosity.
Marendar looks like a heavily mutated human with mechanical parts sticking out of its body.
Prior to going to Karzahni, Velika's Matoran form looked almost exactly like he did as a Great Being, but shorter.
Helryx's "skin" has mostly disintegrated, with her face and some of her torso being the most intact parts; her upper arms and thighs have their exposed endoskeletons wrapped in cloth and leather, and strange hoses connect from her abdomen into her face. Her hair is mostly missing.
Pohatu's sideburns turn into a full beard when he becomes a Toa Nuva.
While Onua is technically one of the tallest Toa Nuva, he's hunched over so he looks a lot shorter.
Scopes are attached like eyepatches; when Nuju becomes a Hordika, his scope fuses into his head. Instead of losing the scope when he becomes a Turaga, he accidentally drops it in the ocean while taking the Matoran Spheres to Mata Nui and doesn't notice until he gets there.
Sidorak is balding and has a large beard.
Keetongu is a big bug.
Krakua is old.
This isn't a design note, but love is canon and Axonn X Brutaka not only happened, but they're also canonically divorced.

Close Air Support
Headcanon that after one too many times where an enemy has gotten too close to use the Cordak Blasters on safely, Kongu reluctantly starts to use a melee weapon for close fighting. However, unwilling to simply give up the firepower of two Cordak Blasters, he takes a page out of Jaller's book and gives his second one to his old Gukko, Ka.

"I believe that mask belongs to me."
It has long been my intention to--if not actually becoming active here again--at least keep this place relatively up to date. So here is the last of BIONICLE month from 2020, most of which is now very old or out of date but still nice to have all in the same place. I believe the remaining prompts were for a toa of water, toa of air, turaga, matoran, adversary, and titan (which is the Hydraxon piece above).
I'm fairly certain at this point all of the custom masks were designed by KhingK and the cordak blasters are my attempt to ape BobtheDoctor27's really slick stud shooter ones. Hopefully get to posting my modern projects here soon!

My Toa Mahri and Barraki!
The Toa Mahri are super duper cool but they also show off the weakness of being too unique, imo. Where previous Toa series like Metru and Inika were pretty uniformly viable to play with and equally cool, Nuparu and ESPECIALLY Kongu just get left behind with the Mahri I say.
Like, from the Inika sets: Matoro and Hewkii are way cooler than they were, going from middle of the back to the best by far for my taste. Jaller and Hahli are at least as cool as they were, if not cooler. But Nuparu still has the same problem of being so black he blends in with himself and is hard to really admire. Plus his mask went from super iconic to probably the most forgettable, a sort of blend between Hydraxon's and Matoro's. Still super cool, probably the best thing about the set after the shield.
Nothing really needs to be said about Kongu but I'll say it anyway. Poor guy gets NO unique parts, just a slightly interesting breathing tube setup that's overshadowed by the really cool ones like Matoro, Hewkii, and Jaller. Torso construction is cool but shared with Carapar who actually does have unique parts AND is more colorful. Two guns could be cool but he doesn't have anything else! The Cordak blasters look great but they don't function super well, so he ends up feeling like the worst version of Kopaka from Phantoka or Onua from Mistika, or Pohatu from Phantoka. All of them have a better focus on the action gimmick or a better use of the torso construction. (I still love him though who can dislike Kongu :])
Matoro Mahri and Hewkii Mahri are some of my favorite sets out of all the original run though. I love the Great Kanohi Garai a LOT, probably my single favorite overshadowing even the Inikia's organic masks. And Matoro has really grown on me, he subtly has the best set of all the Toa I think.
For whatever reason the Barraki have never done much for me, but I still appreciate them. I think I'm inclined against too much "biological" in my "biological chronicle," oddly enough. The squid launchers are pretty worthless in my book, even though they look cool. And I didn't really like the funky construction of a lot of their torsos, though I appreciate it as super cool and a way to make more unique bodies than you could if you were sticking rigidly to the Inika building system.
Mantax and Takadox are my favorites. They're the best for actually playing with, and have really great colors! I can appreciate the other four in one way or another, especially for the colors, but I don't super duper like any of them. Pridak especially is super hard to pose because of how weirdly bunched up his joints are, moving one part throws everything else off too.
I think I came off as really critical here but I wouldn't have these guys if I didn't love them :]. Complaining about them is really just an excuse to keep paying attention to my favorite things in the world!

MOC: Hydraxon, the Jailer.
Tumblr media
Well since I made a hydraxon revamp for biovember, I figured I might as well  give him his classic weapons. Featuring a custom cordak blaster. Don’t be surprised if you see this design in future MOCs

A17, B1, and C4 for the ask game.
A17 Favourite Glatorian: I have soft spots for Ackar, Kiina, and Gelu, but my favourite is probably Gresh. I don't know, the up-and-coming rookie with a hero complex thing just does it for me. Especially because, unlike most of those sorts of characters, Gresh isn't played for laughs. He's a very grim and serious character, fully aware of the harsh environment he lives in. He has some snark in him, which I enjoy plenty, but he's mostly just earnest. Young, a little naive, but firm in his principles and determined to do the best he can for himself and those under his care. He's just good. That said, I hated him in TLR, precisely because they ignored all his prior characterization to make him the stereotypical, quippy, hotheaded rookie. They even made him pout at one point, for crying out loud. Ugh. He's pretty much back to normal from what I've seen of Journey's End, so I'll just go ahead and ignore that little blip of character butchery in the movie.
B1 Favourite Set: Noooooo, why would you do this to me? I love them all! But alright, alright, if I have to pick one...it's either Lhikan and Kikanalo, or Jaller Mahri. Jaller Mahri, in my opinion, is the slickest-looking Toa using the Inika build. He's got such a clean, striking look to him, and I love the thematic consistency of his chestplate matching his crab and the shape of the Arthron, as well as his abdominal plate matching the guard on his sword. So so clean. Plus he has a little friend with a giant gun. What's not to love? Lhikan, on the other hand, is much plainer, but he's also a Metru build, so he's good-looking by default. And he has easily the coolest Toa Tools in all of Bionicle, and one of the coolest Rahi too. Guncrab is fun, but the Kikanalo just rules. Plus Lhikan has a gear function and his swords have dual weapon functionality (triple if you can't the shield form as a distinct mode from the skyboard), which is just a little more fun than the Cordak Blaster. It's a close race, but I'd probably give the edge to Lhikan. If it was just Lhikan, Jaller would win, but because the Kikanalo is included too, they come out on top, though just barely.
C4 How did you get into BIONICLE?: I actually don't quite remember? Well, I remember what happened, I just don't remember what order. I know I got my first set from a school Christmas fair; it was a Panrahk, if you want to know; and that got me into the sets. And my first book was Adventures #2, Trial by Fire, which my mom got through our local public library and read to me because I was about 4 at the time and books with chapters were still hard for me, and that got me hooked on the story. I know those two things happened in sequence, I just don't know in what order.

Getting two different Hahli Mahri's in bulk lots and I don't think a single one has a cordak blaster. How.

Cordak or Zamor?
I Personally prefer the Cordak Blaster. It holds more ammo and it doesn’t feel quite as cumbersome to handle.
Granted, we did have some troubles with ours when we first returned to dry land after Mahri Nui. Apparently they weren’t really intended for too much outside of water… So a lot of the rockets kept getting jammed in the gun barrels when we tried shooting. 
Thankfully Nuparu was quick to take them all and made several improved adjustments. Now they work just fine, both in and out of water.
