Bionicle Inspiration Series Ep 127 Frames

[@Corvus__]

I'll be honest. When first clicked this vid, I thought I might use some of these frames. But while watching this, I thought up some other possible frames I could try.

[@MCLegoboy]

Just as a reminder for everyone: If anyone does full on copy a design, it is not wrong, but if you do, maybe give some credit. There is a difference between using a piece of one design and copying the skeleton of a MOC. People "steal" ideas all the time when it comes to little techniques, but when you copy a full portion of someone else's build, show some humility.

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Excellent point! Do this

[@Jormyyy]

I feel as long as you aren't posting a MOC using someone elses techniques online saying "I created this and it was all my idea" it isn't too bad. If the MOC is just for your personal collection it's not wrong.

[@fatbastard9147]

I just build for my own collection so I’m just gonna build if I think something is cool

[@RoyalKnightVIII]

Sure but unless you parent it there's no legal reason to. It's just out of courtesy

[@GeorgeCowsert]

I honestly wish Lego just released a persistent constraction line with no other theme than "here's a bunch of parts and they can be used to make this shape, but this is basically just a parts pack" It'd avoid the "yearly wave" obligation by virtue of just having no theme beyond just providing parts, which I think Lego should honestly do with not just CCBS but the bricks and technic as well. It would make it so much less of a hassle to just jump into building when the actual parts are readily accessible on store shelves, with the themed sets still having a niche as they would get more unique and exclusive parts.

[@VoidCraftGaming]

This is genius! Lego is so dumb for not doing this!

[@JeremyFinch42]

This just ended up in my recommended with zero context, but I love it.

[@hayothegunosaurus]

i have now reached BionicleTube and i am absolutely here for it! dope that the first BionicleTuber i've found is a fellow Aussie

[@thelightninglynxlynx7318]

I've really been needing a video like this! thanks!

[@gitgud6361]

I knew frames existed, but never knew how to make them. After seeing this video, I now know how to build Bignicle/ frames in general! Thanks for the info!

[@Adoptimuscribble]

this episode really helped me, just yesterday i didnt feel like i could put technic pieces in my bionicle mocs, but ater this im already making a new type of bionicle frame that involves alot of technic

[@lese39]

Oh yeah, Bionicle videos in 2019 is truly the way to happiness

[@gloopschnorp1120]

Jeez... Haven't been here for a while and, ep 127! Keep up the good work

[@I_Am_Vratislav]

Thanks a lot for all the work you put into these and the stuff you've shown us. Truly inspiring thanks a lot.

[@NotDoneIsNub]

the double joint, double arm, cylinder frame helped me make my mocs upper legs! thank you for making this video

[@thenighthowler1830]

Hey Ben, thanks so much for introducing us to the bignicle frame, I've started building my next MOC using the frame!

[@omegadragoon6081]

I use frames very often when it comes to designing a creature. It helps give me an idea of the anatomy for the overall build.

[@themidnightbanshee5927]

I love the hero factory and bionicle construction system cause it's so simple and modifiable I mean I built a 3 transformers

[@empatheticrambo4890]

This has reinforced (ironic) an important lesson I've been trying to remember while I start making more complicated mocs as an AFOL - a frame is structurally necessary as scale increases! We can see that in so many large bionicle and system official sets, and I'm trying to incorporate that engineering knowledge into my creative lego side!

[@purplehaze2358]

You didn't even really need to be a 'salesman' in order to convince me to consider using a bignicle frame. I thought I'd make something using that design the moment I saw it in Wombat's last video.

[@jackallison3247]

Thanks Ben now I got a desk toy

[@apotatoguylikesdogs6761]

You don’t get a triple double You just get a double double

[@Scarachus]

These frames really allow some absolutely badass designs to be created

[@al-khalileyman8736]

WE ARE BIONICLE FANS

[@jadivods]

I dont use pistons because studio doesnt let technical parts function when you articulate the moc.

[@clipamation9158]

does anyone realize this look like a Iron Blooded orphan Frame Barbatos

[@TheWererapter92]

I'm trying to make a Bioformer and it's irritating how difficult to work out it is, I'm not stock hugely on parts either, the style I wanna use the exo skeleton of Hakann and the head of a Lego Vikings Red Dragon but to do that I need a Torso that van change shape without disassembly, do any of these even work for a bioformer

[@megatronVS]

I remember when I got my Hydraxon and saw how he had extra support along the back of his legs. Glad to see that here.

[@cire_rekt9725]

My first thought on the second to last frame was that it looked as if the good guy set got turned into a toa

[@joshvasquez8196]

Cossy? Can you make a BIS episode on posability? you know,how to make a moc flexible,I always struggle with that

[@leviacosta1134]

Hey here's a video idea if you haven't already done it: double jointed knee builds. I could use a few

[@generic_soda]

I have a strange way of starting... I build something and hope I can turn it into a leg...

[@Mate397]

Hmm, I might give the bignicle frame a try, have this Shadowed One MOC I'm working on but I'm stuck after building the legs and tail, just can't figure out how to create the torso, have the idea for the armoring though.

[@randommothreviews1577]

I am somewhat thinking about doing a Halloween special moc, but I'm not sure what it should be.

[@theincognitomelon1804]

Some quick ideas are Monster like look Pumpkin theme Using orange purple and black may also work

[@blank3543]

1:58 Bad choice of words. Using instructions is the opposite of making a moc, if you took this out of context.

[@apotatoguylikesdogs6761]

Could've said its like a skeleton.

[@1HundoGames]

Trying to make a 13inch bionicle moc but I'm not sure how to make the skeleton strong enough to support it. Any advice?

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Put pistons in the legs and other parts of the body to help act as an additional layer of support. Otherwise doubling up on connections can help depending on how you've made the MOC (Black Phantom and Witch Doctor do this where they use two layers of CCBS bones.) Or you can add less armor so things are more lightweight. And if it still does't work, nothing wrong with some cheeky trans clear stands to help support stuff.
