Welcome Bionicle 2015

Welcome back Bionicle.

The 4 year crusade is over and Hero Factory is gone!   We are proud to see all the work has paid off.  Bionicle Generation 2 has begun!

Visit: www.bionicle.com to check it out.

It is important to remember this is a new generation. Like every other franchise reboot, not everything will be the same.  The same plot twists probably won't be used again.  So enjoy this refreshing new take on the story.  Its a new story for a new generation.

Melding Alternate Universe Teridax

Melding Alternate Universe (MAU) Teridax was a Bionicle Generation 1 character subsequently brought into Generation X.  In the Generation X Story, he was infect by some of the original Teridax's antidermis, thus becoming one of 5 Entities of Teridax, and arguably the the most powerful.  He can bend light and shadow.

Like the original, he carries a War Hammer and grapple hook blaster tool.

This MOC was entered into the Battle for the Gold Mask Competition as The Eternal










Bionicle Generation X

Bionicle Generation X is something I have developed as an expanded universe for Bionicle.  It was originally a sequel series, but grew bigger.  I use it as a platform for my MOCs to exist on. My official description is as follows:

     Bionicle Generation X is a continuation of the original storyline, as released in the series.  It focuses on the original Bionicles and the Great Beings.  It creates a pre-history which ultimately leads into the story of Bionicle: Generation 1.  It also brings the great beings back into the spotlight after the mission of the Mata Nui robot is finished.  The Bionicles had found a great being at the end of the original story.  This great being and a new war is used as the starting point for the return of them all of them.  A twist is also involved, as there is now a force greater than the Makuta.  Empires have also arisen for the first time.  The fall of Toa, and their new empires (an idea stemming from an original alternate universe), are a big factor in the story.

            Additionally, the end of Bionicle: Generation 1 has been reworked as to be closer to that originally intended, with dinosaur like rahi and the element lords as the villains.

Check out other posts under the Generation X tag for more details.

The Eternal

A MOC for the Golden Mask Competition.

Some heroes go dark....

The Eternal, a god in all white.  Once he created the universe, now he guards it.  And Makuta has broken the rules by making the Mask of Ultimate Power.  The Eternal figures, if Makuta can do it, so can the rest of the species.  They must be destroyed.

Thus he returned to Okoto, a land he loved creating, to destroy all of his traitorous creations and take back the Mask of Creation.  No one is safe....

The Eternal carries a blaster with battle hooks and his hammer, which he uses to create and destroy.

Antaxus

Pronounced "Ann - tax - us"

Antaxus is a reincarnation of Antroz in the Generation X story.  He was reborn as the Makuta of Death after the Great Being of Shadow, Makuterax, collected his antidermis from Kardi Nui.  Tyvekkon later evolves him into a mech called Antaxekks.

 A gaseous ball of his life force can launch from his chest and absorb beings.  He carries a curved blade and a heavy rifle.  His eyes glow with evil.

Primary Photo:
He was also entered into the Battle for the Gold Mask Building Competition.  The following was his entry description:

He is the Devil in the night, a demon unlike any other.  He could come in your dreams or in reality.   Either way, he will kill you.   His species, the Antidermites is made or gas that inhabits suits of armor, or other beings.  Antaxus is the most dangerous of them all, cunning, and ruthless.  He wants nothing less than to absorb all masks of power into his substance to become indestructible master of all.

 A gaseous ball of his life force can launch from his chest and absorb beings.  He carries a curved blade and a heavy rifle.  His eyes glow with evil.
