Logan McOwen Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 (edited) GORUK, MASTER OF IRON No aspect of Goruk could be described as weak. His bulky body, strong will and incredible intellect are second to none. With his Mask of Titanium, Goruk chooses not to use weaponry himself, instead relying on his brute strength to use his enemy's powers or environment against them. However, Goruk considers violence to be something of the past, and prefers to live at peace, high up in the peaks above Okoto. He considers himself a keen astronomer, gazing up at the stars through his telescope and admiring worlds beyond that of Okoto. Goruk is based upon a totally custom, Technic-based torso frame, which integrates a bespoke gearbox to swivel his waist. I previously used this hand design in a revamp of Rocka XL. The torso shell is from a third party set from the "Fusion Warriors" line, which is usually marketed as "Space Tutelary".

Millennium Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Yeah, definitely solid. I'm not a huge fan of those feet, I think the grey Rahkshi ones from Carapar would have looked a lot better, but hey, you're the boss here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan McOwen Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 Yeah, definitely solid. I'm not a huge fan of those feet, I think the grey Rahkshi ones from Carapar would have looked a lot better, but hey, you're the boss here. I personally feel dark grey feet would really throw off the metallic colouration, and Rahkshi feet aren't all that pretty anyway But I chose these as I felt they expanded upon the two-toed design I go for with my villagers.

Petewa Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 The proportions remind me of Karlof, master of metal, from Ninjago. Is there any correlation between the two? 2 Quote Mataru Nui, an Interactive Adventure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I love the custom torso design! It looks solid even without armor on (but of course it looks better with the armor). I also like the way the back looks with the HF shield piece used to cover it up. Overall, very good job! The hands are very reminiscent of Axonn, but that's not a bad thing 1 Quote Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan McOwen Posted December 10, 2015 Author Share Posted December 10, 2015 (edited) The proportions remind me of Karlof, master of metal, from Ninjago. Is there any correlation between the two? This fellow? Yeah, I see it... The similarity wasn't intended though! Funny coincidence! I love the custom torso design! It looks solid even without armor on (but of course it looks better with the armor). I also like the way the back looks with the HF shield piece used to cover it up. Overall, very good job! The hands are very reminiscent of Axonn, but that's not a bad thing Many thanks! I too am pleased with how the shield piece looks on his back - I've always loved that piece, and I'm happy that I have an excuse to use it again. And yes, the hands are definitely Axonn inspired.

MrSciFiGuy Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Give him a large axe and a kanohi rode and you have a Gen 2 Axonn. Love the shield piece on the back along with the bohrok eyes on his sides. Really fills out the figure and makes him look solid. 1 Quote Bionicle: ANP aims to create narrated versions of all the Bionicle books, with voice actors for each character, and music taken from various media to enhance the story.

Now it's funny you mention the similarities with Axonn, as this was at one point going to be a G2 Axonn! However, as I built the model without dark red, I decided to build a unique character instead.

Obsessionist Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 The various metallic shades look excellent together, well done with the color scheme. Very smart torso design. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjr205 Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Wow! Nothing to complain about here. I really love the way you filled out the torso on both the back AND sides. Where can you buy things from Fusion Warriors? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where can you buy things from Fusion Warriors? Thanks! And as for Fusion Warriors? Well, they've proven to be tricky to track down. I am very lucky that a local discount shop seems to constantly have them in stock, so I've bought quite a few for parts. Try searching either Fusion Warriors or Earth Tutelary on websites like eBay, AliExpress or Amazon. Again, you'll be lucky to find them, as they seem to come from a brand much smaller than Decool or XSZ. Quote I inadvertently predicted Vorox armour's use in G2.

Techno Virus Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Not fan of shaping of the figure on this MOC, concepr is kinda cool, but Its a too simple execution with not enough detail. I would suggest making him bigger, and adding lots of detail via system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
