LEGO Hero Factory MOC triple-header video

I've put together a video showing three of my recent hero MOCs, Vergis Rhey, Broya Kiisilun, and Gaaf Kiisilun.  Enjoy, and please be sure to subscribe to my LEGOJANG channel on YouTube!



LEGO Hero Factory MOC: Gaaf Kiisilun

The latest hero to emerge from the LEGO Hero Factory is Gaaf Kiisilun. 


Though of course in the world of robotic lifeforms, there are no true familial relationships such as parents or siblings, even without noticing the name it is obvious that Gaaf was designed as a "brother" model to Broya Kiisilun.  Though his chassis is similar, his fighting style couldn't be more different.  Gaaf uses a charged staff weapon that is designed for accurate at a great distance from a target.  His style often involves directing lo-powered, non-destructive blasts just short of an enemy to put it on the run.  He then tracks and stalks the foe from a safe distance until a direct, more powerful stunning blast can be fired off in the clear.

LEGO Hero Factory MOCs: Kiva Class warriors

Here they are!  The LEGO Hero Factory's response to the Klygess infestation!  The Kiva Class warriors (pronounced "key-vah") are the smallest creations to come out of the Hero Factory yet.  They are able to operate with minimal impact to the environment and daily civilian life, while seeking out and eradicating Klygess in dark, narrow corners & cracks throughout the city!

LEGO Bionicle MOC: Vakama, alternate universe

Conceptually all I had in mind when building this MOC was to make something with an orange & gray theme, hopefully with an original body design.  The result was this character I did decide to label as Vakama, from an alternate universe where he is evil.  Here, he is in an in-between state between Matoran and Toa forms, held back by the other Toa from completing his transformation.  He is a strong fighter and hot-tempered as in the familiar storylines, but he is unable to use any Toa powers as yet and is crowing quite impatient.  Will he join forces with the heroic Makuta?

LEGO Bionicle MOC: Toa of Air

This was a Toa of Air MOC I finished last year.  I never came up with a name for him, but I do like the MOC!

LEGO Bionicle MOC: Vorox evolved

Continuing the ominous Vorox & Zesk evolution storyline, the latest from Zeyek includes these two possibilities (same MOC) for the future, further evolved (devolved?) appearance of the Vorox.  Zeyek believes the 4-legged stance is the correct one, and that this solves a longstanding mystery, which he will soon reveal.  What will it be??

LEGO Bionicle MOCs: Mini-Rahaga

Continuing the mini theme, I realized I might be able to go even shorter by doing mini-Rahaga!  Ha!  Of course they're not canon Rahaga, just random creations.

LEGO Bionicle MOCs: The Minis

This is just a series of little dudes I did in a quest to see how small of a Bionicle-based MOC I could come up with.  They were pretty fun.

The final piece of the puzzle

At last, I have been in contact with Milethi once more.  The price was exhorbitant, but the information she has presented has priceless, though intangible value.  Milethi, a highly skilled scientist in the highly controversial field of Bionicle evolution, first determined the anatomical design of the ancestors of the Vorox, based on evidence in the recent fossil record.  She then did the same for the Zesk, with peculiarly identical results. 

In this newest exploration, Milethi has calculated the eventual evolutionary destiny of the Vorox.  The first image she showed me was this:

I was, unamused, to say the least.  Aside from some slightly altered proportions and colors -- colors, how useless -- this might as well have been an image of a modern-day Vorox!  I had delivered the heads of eight nearly-extinct giant, predatory insects for Milethi's bizarre alchemic experiments, and this was my reward??

Thankfully, for her sake, Milethi quickly explained in more detail how her methods could only determine the likely anatomical details of a past or future creature, not its habits, and certainly not its specific posture.  She then offered the following alternate rendering of the same creature:

Now this, this was the result I had expected.  Ah, yes.  Walking on four legs, prone.  Head forward.  Stinger up.  Like the Zesk!  With the passage of further millenia, I have no doubt whatsoever, that the Zesk and Vorox will one day be but one species again, just as they were countless generations ago, before...

Hrmm.  It is time, I see.  I must... visit an old friend.  He is holding onto some... pictures... for me.  Very valuable pictures.  Pictures, that the Great Beings would very much like to see destroyed, forever.

LEGO Bionicle MOC: Proto-Toa, the TRUE first Toa

This post from Zeyek explains the creation, and the demise, of the peculiar creation that was the first Toa.  Don't be quick to rush to the comment box, confident that I am an ignoramus, ready to spill your guts about Helryx this, Helryx that.  Read Zeyek's post.  Just read it.  Now, back to the MOC...

This is definitely one of my favorite Bionicle MOCs, completed one year ago tomorrow.  It has a lot of "solidness," a strong, well-defined figure, and a consistent theme.  I can imagine it emerging from the protodermis pool, wet with liquid matter, drips falling off its prototype hands as if the fingers, themselves, are solidifying from those very drips.  I couldn't think of a better way to use my one chrome Hau.  No, I'm not really happy with myself for how this Proto-Toa MOC turned out, I'm just happy with the MOC itself!
