PHANTOKA & MISTIKA TOA REDONE - Bionicle Inspiration Series - Revamps (Ep 314)

[@kayleighlehrman9566]

You mentioned Lewa's torso having some Bumblebee vibes, I'm surprised you didn't mention the fact that Onua has massive Bayformers Ironhide vibes

[@BobTheDoctor27]

Thanks for including one of my revamps! That's quite an old version of my Pohatu revamp though and honestly not my best work! Still really glad to have been featured and glad you enjoyed the different take on the propellers in particular!

[@BenCossyOfficial]

It's a really good MOC dude, love your work!

[@jimboskran4892]

The person who made the Lewa moc has made some incredible leaps and bounds in terms of moc making, it has been quite the honour to see him get to where he is now

[@purplehaze2358]

That pohatu revamp honestly felt a little out-of-place being so simple while all the other Phantoka entries into the collab were fairly complex.

[@freddoesvox9033]

I really like seeing mocs that are more close to how sets would be. I love the super complex stuff but my buildstyle is somewhere inbetween simple and complex, so seeing more simple representation makes me feel less self concious.

[@BenCossyOfficial]

Good to hear! I'll do my best to feature more builds in that style on the show :)

[@sebastienlabbe4647]

Yet another delightful episode! I always loved those knights kingdom shoulder elements on that Onua moc. I always loved those red thrusters as well.

[@GogakuOtaku]

Phantoka Lewa is one of my favorites too!

[@MitchBuilds]

Nice! Love me some good revamps!!

[@FoakHome]

That Lewa is amazing wow

[@56borderlands]

Amazing creations. Been mocist longer than I can remember and every time you learn something more. Having near 30 mocs built up sure would make me wanna commit something for future use. It's just way too hard to pick up where to start

[@nicholasarquilla9643]

I always felt that the Toa Phantoka & Mistika where very lackluster when they came out. These were supposed to be the final forms of the Toa Mata, battling for the fate of the universe. They should look strong and imposing, but instead they looked bare and empty, some even lacking signiture weapons. I'm glad other people felt the same way to create some resigns of them that fit better than what we got.

[@bionicvulcan]

Im absolutely in love with that mistika onua moc

[@MCLegoboy]

The final battle is about to begin...

[@lazer-ape]

something that always got me about the mistika iterations of the toa mata is that the masks felt like they were assigned to the wrong toa. i know alot of people arent fans of the masks as is but hear me out. Onua's mask (and even his build frankly) feel better suited to Pohatu and vice versa, Lewa's mask reminds me alot of more of Nuva Gali than it does anyone else,and even gali's mask with its giant chin seems more fitting for lewa or even kopaka than it does for her. Tahu's is the one mask that just feels completely random and tossed together. Granted it was designed to fit within the themes of flight and aerodynamism but everything about it lacks a certain familiarity or essence of tahu. Really the use of Maxilos' mask on the one moc you showcased feels spot on for what a further advanced tahu should look like.

[@XboxTF2Tidbits]

hell yeah new Ben cossy video

[@Tahunuva-s1y]

Why dose the Toa of AIR have a vehicle in the original set he should not need it, now stone or earth might need one but not AIR

[@arcticpossi_schw1siantuntija42]

Just seeing tahu mistika with that maxilos mask makes me like it a lot more. Why did they have to make the official mask unrecognizable and ugly? Also Onua dwells in caves Bats dwell in caves and fly Flying onua has bat mask The mask design makes sense now Nice, the revamp made me appreciate onua's bat mask Onua needs to be bulky for the bat mask to look good.

[@scarredable]

Onua and Kopaka my favs, Lewa is good as well but feels a bit gapy on the back and a bit bulky on the shoulders.
