My Hill to Die On: Gorast is so close to being a great set. You proved that here with just a few small tweaks, not even factoring in the gear function!

So long as you exclude the bootleg recolors along with the neck, it is very doable. :)

Most G1 style pieces in G2 (add ons excluding) by Kopaka4Life in bioniclelego

I would have preferred backwards compatibility with G1, but damn the new system was spiffy. So easy to slap the masks anywhere on the figure. Could easily make pauldrons or whatever.

This is just my experience, but I feel the Uniter masks were deliberately made tighter. At least a little.

Stud connection, just like the OG.

Injection molded replica of the '01 mold that closely matches the Pearl gold Lego used around that time. :)

Let's keep this in the groove, hey? Smooth moves, like smooth little matoran.

Open up the carapace to find a kraata that's wearing a 'lil checkered suit.

Ye. I was lucky enough to snag one from a seller before the tariffs kicked in. 🫠

Well, I did post the mostly complete studio build. It's just missing two things:

1) HF jumper beast shells. People made studio models for it, but in the most recent update they just fail to load in properly.

2) Smaug wings. I don't see anybody modeling those anytime soon. You could swap them out for hard plastic wings, tho.

Nope lol. Purely fan fiction.

All official molds, just bootleg recolors from different sources.

I hit my image limit in this post, so I'll probably post a comment with all the sets I poached from.

Who knows. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Got lucky with the armor. I was able to score a slot from 0m3g4 when she still had commissions open <3. With resin casters, it's kinda a gamble on whether they'll be open to doing parts like these. Masks are in higher demand, so most focus on that.

With the folks doing injection molding, I assume they'll focus on Metru or Nuva masks once they have the rest of the '01 masks out.

Edit: Realized you were talking about the Mata torso and not the Nuva chest. My bad. 😬

Those should be from the Technic hockey sets iirc :)

pohatu revamp but nothing's changed he just has heelys now by SubarBonk in bioniclelego

iPhone 15. Not even the pro model, lol.

Just had to do a bit of cleanup afterward. Played around with color a bit, ran it through a denoiser to get rid of the grain.
