To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Bionicle's return, I present to you a 99% accurate parts list for the Makuta combiner model. This version includes all corrections and has been thoroughly checked against the inventory of the sets used in the combination. The list features the Mask of Control, since the unreleased Mask of Ultimate Power only exists as a prototype.

The post includes: a stud.io base file, Bricklink parts list, and official reference pictures.

Sets used:

1. 70790-1 Lord of Skull Spiders
2. 70795-1 Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder
3. 71309-1 Onua Uniter of Earth
4. 71308-1 Tahu Uniter of Fire
5. 71303-1 Ikir Creature of Fire
6. 71310-1 Umarak the Hunter
7. 71316-1 Umarak the Destroyer

Additional notes:
There’s a model made by LEGO designers that features the ultra rare Tan Cloth Cape, Bionicle Large Figure with Black Geometric Pattern. This cloth piece is extremely rare and expensive. I do not encourage buying it, but it is shown on the model, so feel free to use one if you already have it.

Once all 2015/2016 parts are modeled, I will render the final complete digital build. The same goes for instructions, if anyone is willing to create building steps from the submitted model (excluding the remaining parts), that would be incredibly helpful.

Special thanks to all the designers who worked on this final BIONICLE model. If you know any of them, please name them in the comments.

I found this in The Legends Of Metru Nui DVD, nifty little bonus. Toa and Vahki being £5.99 and Titans £14.99 makes me wish these were the prices sealed copies still went for 😭

Thought I had lost it at somepoint in moving or childhood. Time to dust off some double a’s for the ol gameboy

What could this new mask possibly be I wonder?

Came up with a basic build for matoran that is highly customisable.

Disks for the Mangai trio.

Disks and custom eyestalks are resin casts from Constraction Deva.

Lhikan emblem made by KingSidorak. I did the ones for Nidhiki and Tuyet.
(Uploaded here if you'd like to make your own disks.)

Waterslide decals printed by TokenHobbyist.

To differentiate these from the batch I made for the Toa Metru, I thought it would be fun if these disks matched their respective toa's eye color. :)

I’m about to interview for a management position that will definitely make my life a lot better and I’m bringing along the mask of light in my pocket for good luck.

See y’all on the other side.

Thank you to a commenter who suggested using the Mahri visors as shoulder pieces! I decided to use the ‘08 finned visor as the main Mask of Conjuring for a bit of flair. Still not sure which direction to go in with the chest plate and legs, but I’m really liking this progress!

I am making a little Bionicle rewrite where everything is a bit more edgy, just how I like it! Maybe the events don't change much. I like to focus on the innerworkings of the characters and motivations.

Toa Lewa, the embodiment of wind, the maker of breeze, the sound that pass through the tallests of trees in all Le-Wahi... it's very normal for a lot of Le-Matoran only hearing her (I did change the gender of this one too, because a team of only dudes it's a bit boring, even design wise) voice through the breeze; or a cackle zooming by, since she barely speaks to them at all.

Lewa prefers the company of the Rahi. Big? Small? Don't matter. She would learn how they communicate and make herself their friend. No "nos" allowed. If she can't do it in one day, she will spend weeks on making even the nastiests and lone of Rahi her friend.

It's not that she HATES her people, not at all. They are all friendly and energetic, like a bunch of tiny Muakas running around their mother while playing. She thinks they are very cute, but she is treating them like she doesn't really respects them at all. Nothing they say to her matter in the slightest.

Lewa had some suspicions on why that was. Why she liked the company of Rahi better. Why the noise from a river Tarakava roaring were way more enjoyable than the voice of any Le-Matoran. Her mind might have forgotten, but the body always remembers, every single tiny thing...

Since Lewa arrived at Mata-Nui, she had her legs very damaged. Not badly enough to make her unable to walk, but badly enough to be a difficult task to do.

She guessed that was why she was so precise and skillful with her control over air and her Kanohi Miru, born from the necessitie of having a better way to move around.

Another thing she found interesting, was her fear of heights. Didn't matter if it were just a few meters off the floor, sitting on the top of the tree, or on top of some stairs. Her stomach clenched and always looking away. A reason for her to ALWAYS be hanging from somewhere. That is a fear she would NEVER let it get root in her.

A bit combative by nature. Going her own way. Except when Onua asked for something, that's when all of what I just said goes off the window. The reason? I don't even think Lewa knows why. She could hear Onua talk for hours... but Onua never did. But she also had this little itch in the back of her brain to hurt Onua back. A scatch, squeezing and arm too hard. Asking for a sparring. She maybe have something in common with Pohatu, but in another level.

Maybe some day she will learn why she is like this. Even if she has a predisposition to get controlled like a puppet. Maybe she likes it. Maybe she hates a bit too much what she became.

I got myself two extra special goodies for the hoard, a perfect Kanohi Ignika, and a sealed kraata canister!

The reason I made this is because I wondered what it would be like if someone got infected in the Hero Factory Brain series, so I tried making it.

On the hunt for a rogue Rahkshi of Elasticity, the duo find themselves searching an extensive cave network for their quarry.

Hey all. i swear this isn’t like a troll or anything if this does happen to be a good deal. I’m relatively new to collecting Bonkles (I’m late gen z, I was like 3 years old when G1 ended) and just won this auction for 60 bucks. This amount of Bonkles is good for that, right? Either way was just hoping to bulk up my collection for MOCs. I can recognize Stars Gresh and Tahu, some 2004 Vakama pieces and 2008 Tahu pieces.
