Using TUNNELER BEAST's LEGO Parts To Build Bionicle MOCs

Man I do love Invasion From Below. It was one of the best waves of Hero Factory EVER! And Tunneler Beast, despite its small size, is so so good! Let's discuss why :)

Ah Tunneler beast, my favorite set from this wave. I remember seeing it in a small toy store and when I finally convinced my mom to buy it , it was already gone, turns out someone had bought it 40 mins earlier, I was heartbroken for months😂. Luckily a years later a family friend went to the USA and somehow managed to finally get it, and we met in a pizzeria, I was so ecstatic that i built it while waiting for my order to arrive. After the pizzeria my mom made me do my homework so i couldn't play with it 😑. Thank you for the awesome video man, it brought back so many good memories 😊

[@BenCossyOfficial]

That's a delightful story, I'm glad you finally got it after all that heartbreak

[@HerrscherOfTuna]

Thanks, the wait was definitely worth it, the set is awesome!

9ooooommmmmmggggggg

3:44 I feel obligated to point out that this design is not by shadowgear. He used Syoya' core hunter design for this moc, the construction is fully copied, of course, without the use of a mask. He changed the leg design a bit, but the use of the jaw was implemented by syoya. Shadowgear made it clear that this is basically not his construction, I just want to spread the legacy of an underrated mocist

[@violentlyneutral3611]

You made me fall in love with invasion from below! It is super underrated!

[@droconistheantisentient1721]

Even though it wasn't popular, there were some great parts that came from this wave of hero factory. I have all of the invasion from below set's.

[@MDTASTUDIOs]

Lucky, I didn’t really care about it at the time, my brother did, but he only bought the 3.0 stuff

[@sagedelta7]

Seeing your Vastus video got me hooked on Bionicle and Hero Factory again, I actually bought a used one on Bricklink because it was so cool looking! Thank you and love the channel

[@MCLegoboy]

No use for the parts of tiny Surge? I've definitely seen some people make little Matoran using the helmet. Those arms also have multiple connection points. There's potential for other creative ventures with those parts.

[@user-qg1mw5tz1q]

man great to see a invasion from below set! such a wonderful wave.

[@quilikx6414]

remember getting this set as a birthday present. loved experimenting with those pieces and playing with the figure.

[@leonardofalaschi5110]

this is very nostaulgic for me, as it was my first time going to japan in 2015, i got 2 "invasion from below" sets from legoland japan. i still have these sets today :). this was an awesome video. thanks mate!!

[@FlamesReviewsAndMocs]

am I the only person who wanted full sized versions of the little minifigs of this wave? love the Mocs by the way

[@fletchbodenschatz8813]

2 minutes ago , let's go!! I'm so glad you post at the odd hours I happen to be awake(odd for me, Florida, not Australia:)), plus I was hust wishing I had a new video to watch!😊

[@marxiplier4322]

Invasion from below shows how well a CCBS based Godzilla theme could work. Since one of the main aspects of both CCBS figures and Kaiju are their size. Combining them would not only make the sets minifigure scaled more easily, but also make them a lot more cost efficient than if they were brick built.

[@Silverwing2112]

Bionicle was their peak. My brother and I used to save money from our allowances as kids to buy the OG Toa sets. They were so different to everything Lego was putting out at the time, we *had* to collect them all. I have so many sets from most of the Bionicle lines.

[@felixdeplanques3614]

I remember getting this set as well as other (bigger) sets from Invasion from Bellow. I liked them because it gave me Pacific Rim vibes with the kaijus and mecs. The new pieces were so cool to me and gave me so much inspiration for crazy beasts designs and other CCBS creations !

[@Rocka5438]

duckbricks needs to do hero factory fanon contests, so much possibility for set-sized kaiju!

[@robertbode2716]

I loved this wave! It felt like Bionicle meets Exo Force.

[@scottdraper2419]

Time for some more hero factory!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@user-gs2sp3fl7y]

The underbite jaw mold isn't used on the legs on that moc, it's actually the upper jaw in black, I have a few, you can get them from the purple set I forgot what it is called

[@ConnorKeel]

I just bought my first Bionicle bulb and it came off a complete rahkshi and a complete bohrok and a bunch of other things for 100 bucks also love your videos by the way give me so many great ideas, but I’ve never had biological before

[@matteogalbusera1149]

6:49 Between the one i bougth back then and the ones i found since, i ended up with four of them, and so i decided to also made an hydra, mine is however is dragon like, with four heads and on four legs and long tail with many green spike all over the body ❤🐲🐲🐲🐲

[@orderlysummit3449]

I'd love Jayfa on Kaiju Theme Consultation

[@CoolersAndUttpSmokers]

MAN WE NEEDED TO FIX THOSE MOLDING MACHINES

[@Nappo-pc1bg]

One of the upgrades literally just turned him in the shin Gojira

[@markcooke9156]

You should feature some of dr scorpion x s builds here

[@Sirdilophosaurusthethird2.0]

6:41 basically monster x from Godzilla final wars

[@Lookingforlore]

Wait a minute, we’re not in HF February but I don’t care it’s still good!

[@Veizu_YT]

now im kinda sad that i don't have any invasion from below sets, i have always wanted one of those heads

[@LGEdits-mr2mm]

I really wish I had the money to get these sets 😭😭

[@tdpuuhailee8222]

I have used tunneler beast's head on my moc Collector Lord Nyatep. Moc showcase is in my channel. Go look at it if you want to.

[@carldelig3903]

Can you make a video of building the same kaiju build just like velocijacktor pls

[@noahedenborg4221]

3:47 thats def the other jaw piece lol

[@Godzillabricks]

Next Video Must be How to use flyer beasts parts

[@Pointzofficial]

Hey anyone can you name all BIONICLE beasts please

[@MaatStile]

you mean the rahi? you are one google search away from your answer

[@ironicpants2651]

This is a ten year old wave… thats crazy to me

[@jarrettblattner5244]

Fun fact this is the only beast set that does not use blue

[@thomasseamenacetoysgamesan155]

Whoever brings up surge is cringe

[@user-kh9zl8uo4g]

On Amazon that's 69.99

[@notreallylolll]

I used ti ask my mom to buy one of the bionicle's sets, but unfortunately my mom would never buy me one

A Tunneler beast fights a Visorak Who wins?

[@karzanah]

If we're talking canon scale, probably Tunneler Beast. Thing is just B I G. If we're downsizing the Beast to just the size of a Visorak, probably the Visorak's gonna win. Their rhotukas are quite OP, and some even have extra abilities, like voice mimicry and camouflage (though realistically, a tunneling creature is gonna have bad eyesight anyway)

[@Foaklore]

@@karzanah how does the scale compare to the bigger yellow/gold visorak? 🤔

[@karzanah]

​@@Foaklore the Bionicle wiki says their size can vary from 6-12 feet tall (roughly 2-4m) and 9-18 wide (3-6m). I quickly skimmed the Hero Factory wiki's page on the Tunneler beast, but couldn't find any info on their size, so this is purely gonna be speculation and pixel measurement. First, I will assume Surge is close to the size of a Toa (that is 7 feet tall, or just slightly over 2m) Second, I will use the first frame of the video to take my measurements. The height of Tunneler, measured from the tip of the front-right leg to the top of its back, is about 1.75 Surges. That comes out to 12.25 feet, or a tiny bit over 3.7m Since Tunneler is close to standing in a 3/4 perspective, and its 4 legs make an approximation of a square, I will assume the distance between the back-right and front-left legs are √2 * width apart. ...But since the tip of the front-left leg is not visible in the picture, I will have to use the "thumb" claw of the left hand. The distance between them comes out to 2 Surges and a Head, so about 15 feet, or 4.5m. Since it's the diagonal, we divide that by √2, and we get ~10.6 feet, or 3.2m Final estimate of the size of a Tunneler Beast is: 12.25 feet / 3.7m tall 10.6 feet / 3.6m wide Which is kinda close to the smaller Kahgaraks

[@Foaklore]

@@karzanah I respect you a ton for actually doing the math on that

Brawl stars Easter egg
