Posted February 2, 201510 yr Bursting through the pavement of the lost city of Okoto, comes the Skull Ripper! An ancient skeletal warrior, armed with a powerful sword, sharp horns and strong armour, stands tall against the Toa heroes! But, can he and his fellow skull-headed scourges stop them, before they reach the Temple of Time? I really like the designs for the Bionicle sets we're getting this summer, so this here is a MOC built in the same sort of style. It was fun figuring out the ribcage detail, and also working with lots of transparent parts. If enough people ask, I may just make a how-to on how to build this guy! EDIT: Instructions here!

February 2, 201510 yr This is great! I love the menacing look it has! If enough people ask, I may just make a how-to on how to build this guy! I ask!
February 2, 201510 yr Interesting ribcage design, although it's a bit wide, because of the torso armor. But it's still a cool technique. I just noticed that his sword, his chestpiece print and the trans-blue give him an electric vibe. Was that intended ?
February 2, 201510 yr Author Thanks guys! I ask! You're the first! I just noticed that his sword, his chestpiece print and the trans-blue give him an electric vibe. Was that intended ? Y'know, I never considered that! Good eye! I think I'll roll with it, actually. Edited February 2, 201510 yr by LewiMOC
February 2, 201510 yr I'd buy this set for sure, if it came with Gali's drained mask. Splendid job, my good man!
February 2, 201510 yr Author I'd buy this set for sure, if it came with Gali's drained mask. Splendid job, my good man! Thank you kindly! looks great nice feet and rib cage Thanks! I wasn't sure about the feet at first, but they've certainly grown on me. This looks way more intimidating than the summer sets. Honestly, I think he's right on par with them :)
February 2, 201510 yr Oh I'm asking for instructions. I'm ordering a bunch of CCBS/Bio2015 parts, I may just throw the parts for this in there too.
February 2, 201510 yr Nice model! It would slot into the Skull Gang pretty well I think. I like the aesthetic very much and I like the build, the only thing I'm not 100% certain on is the chestplate, purely because it has dark red in it's print which is a colour that isn't used anywhere else in the model. I'd almost certainly buy it if it were a real set. I was thinking about making something similar once I got my hands on a second Onua, but I guess you beat me to it! Also, seeing that model made me realise how much I miss seeing the rounded detail shell in sets (partly because I use them a lot for a favourite repto-humanoid design of mine, which uses 7 of them, and are becoming very rare). But anyway...
February 2, 201510 yr the only thing I'm not 100% certain on is the chestplate, purely because it has dark red in it's print which is a colour that isn't used anywhere else in the model. On the contrary, I think it's a good choice, since all the four humanoid summer villains have some red on their chestpiece (it is supposed to represent muscles ?). It makes the MOC fit the gang even better.

It makes the MOC fit the gang even better. I didn't even think of it that way, but when you look at it that way (with the muscle thing), it certainly does make sense. I admit I didn't notice the red on some of the chestplates . But then again, it's just personal preference
February 2, 201510 yr Top notch! I think this holds up a lot better than some of the other summer sets. The transparent blue really works with the flow of the model. Thumbs up and stuff.
February 2, 201510 yr Great work! I think the only thing it's missing to fit in with the rest of the skull army is the random and unnecessary bits of trans-orange thrown into the mix.
February 2, 201510 yr Author Great! Thanks a lot! No worries! Have fun building him, everyone ^^ Edited February 2, 201510 yr by LewiMOC
February 4, 201510 yr Nice job, LewiMoc! It definitely fits in with the summer sets. I really like his ribcage
February 5, 201510 yr Author Nice job, LewiMoc! It definitely fits in with the summer sets. I really like his ribcage Very menacing and evil! Thanks guys! Anyone had a go at building their own yet?
