Long time followers might remember I started by sharing System Bionicle Set concepts for TTVs Brickonicle project. But there was one last model I built 5 years ago, that I never shared: The Shrine of Water After all these years, I finally finished the last renders.

I wanted to stay stylistically true to how I did all my builds back then. I got out my old render program, files and painted on the makeshift masks like I did back then. This was quite the nostalgia trip and I hope people who remember the old builds feel so as well.

The figures in this model are Gali, Nokama and Guurahk. With Nokama being a first in this model.

I hope I could give you all some nostalgia with this blast from the past!

I love Kai’s climbing mech. Some Ninjago sets have endeared themselves to me because of the way they were implemented in the show, but the climber mech is one of the select few that I genuinely want just for the build alone.

And you know what? It genuinely resembles Nocturn to me. With Lego’s recent obsession with mechs and statues, plus Bionicle fans trying to cope about a potential G3 by considering Brickonicle, the climber mech feels like a genuine look into what a brick-based Bionicle might actually look like!

Four arms, plus the legs with the splayed toes and that particular piston piece for support… The lower arms wield blades, and one of the upper arms has a longer tendril to grab with! I even heard the designer for this set used Matoro’s claw piece as a placeholder for the climber mech’s golden claws!

I could see an extensive mod that turns this set into a Brickonicle Nocturn; The head would probably be brick-built and/or use the new dragon head mold pieces that Ninjago has introduced. Tbh, it doesn’t even have to be Bionicle G3 specifically; I’d just really like to see a theme where the sets ARE the characters, rather than the characters being within the sets.

The brick-built scale allows for so much more customizability for characters, and if Lego really wanted minifigures, maybe they could function as the smaller ‘Matoran’ analogue, who knows? There’s just so much character to convey with different builds. And Kai’s other mech this wave, which is the ‘base’ form of the climber mech in canon, is paired with a wolf mech whose hands and feet always remind me of the finned Piraka feet piece;

Some quick concepts for the Bionicle reboot, brickonicle.

This was made as an entry into the TTV Brickonicle Contest, in which this received an Honorable mention. My other two entries were Tahnok Va Attack and another which I’ll post shortly which won 1st place.

The idea of the contest is to make a feasible Bionicle system lego set.

The Bohrok Swarms are hatching! A Nuvhok is bursting out of it's holding cell and attacking Onua! But not all Matoran are defenseless against the Bohrok. Take Nuparu's Boxor Mech into battle with the Nuvhok and the Nuvhok Va and help Onua fend off the Swarms.

Set Includes:

Boxor mech and Bohrok holding cell

4 Minifigures; Nuparu, Onua, Nuvhok, Nuvhok Va

Mech boxing function

Bohrok launching function

This set can combine with the set Tahnok Va Attack to form a larger structure)

Before anyone mentions it, this is more of a re-interpretation of the Boxor design than intended of being a direct copy.

The last of the Kopaka concepts for now.
