Description It's been so long, but finally I have begun to upload these special mocs of mine in the same order as the Toa Mata were originally introduced to us. Basically, the driving thought was "what if Bionicle kept going in 2011?" What if they happened to have come up with these part designs then, since the entire CCBS system was originally intended for Bionicle at about this time? I figured that on the reformed planet of Spherus Magna, the Adaptive Armor worn by the Toa Nuva would take on a much more Mata-like form as the entire world is as if it went backwards in time right to the start.

Anydo, here is Kopy. The one, the only. I wanted to do the best sendup I could of the icy warrior by rendering him as a form of Lancer, with appropriate medievalish armor styling. I figured his Adaptive Armor would have put a high density of protosteel into a Riot Shield, using the 2015 Toa Foot as a wrost mount that doesn't get enough clever love.

Wouldn't you guess this pic was taken in my very own yard! My place is pretty crap but the property is nicely overgrown, something I can appreciate especially as it embodies the nature of the revitalized planet of Spherus Magna.

This is great, I didn't really like how they made Kopaka a bulky tank like Tahu, I always thought of him being sleek and swift like a ninja

I saw it more as a winter-coat like thing. Bulk means layers, and layers means keeping your internal heat, so i feel it stays true to his element.

But he's supposed to be the living bionic embodiment of the element of ice so shouldn't he already have a natural immunity to the cold. In fact Kopaka prefers the cold to heat and was perfectly content on the highest coldest point of the island of Mata Nui.

Meh, that was my thought of the new Kopaka. And isn't this Lego? Isn't it's purpose just to make a set TRULEY yours? And your points are correct on the ORIGINAL, this is a reboot, so we have no knowledge on if they are as tolorant to the cold as the original characters were. The bundled up layer feel is also applied to the protector if ice (my personal favorite protector). I just think it's a more fitting feel, and this new concept of each set being completely different from the others is a lot better than just clone sets. It was either add more armor or make a recolored tahu.

I don't know about that last point, they kinda made Tahu and Kopaka very similar in design. Tahu's also looking pretty armored up but I feel like that fits him a little better being like a samurai with two huge swords and a pair of spare swords that while not in use add to that samurai style look, while as I thought of Kopaka being more agile like a ninja, as example when Kopaka saved Matoro from the Muaka using his masks of concealment and illusion to his advantage. I know they don't get the mask powers in the second generation, just elemental powers which is a shame because that makes their colored masks useless, and I thought all the Kanohi powers were cool, but if you want to make them look different then give Tahu the big armor and Kopaka more of a sleek body shape. Brings to mind the Mountain and Prince Oberyn from Game of Thrones...

I figured if his classic look was sort of knightly, I may as well emulate that to a T. This way he's sort of a swift and rapid tank lol

This is also kinda the way I imagine things going after the end of the canon G1 Bionicle story. Now that Mata Nui has gone back into comatose it's up to the Toa Nuva to bring order to the Matoran and Agori and all that stuff...still working on my head canon.
