Voriki: The Lost 7th Toa

what that time traveling Toa said was true, the Artificial Toa are coming and are more powerful than we could ever imagine. The first one seen was one they called "Voriki", he speaks in mad ramblings how HE is the real 7th Toa. Takanuva says that he can deal with him, but we worry if he'll make it out in one piece.

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

Uhhhhhhhhhhh Voriki.

(A live-updating list of stuff I use can be found here, feel free to suggest anything not on that list via my askbox.)

[binkybonkles]

Voriki Wip, or Vowipi if you will

Her head/mask is in a moving box, and those blue slizer feet are placeholders for purple ones, which are super expensive

Also, her gearbox is kinda chunky, but she's made entirely of pre-2003 parts, so she could have been built back then

[ctrl-alt-tahu]

If you had complete creative freedom to design an official bionicle set, what would you make?

Okay, this has the opportunity to go... umm.... a few ways. Like, is it the mid-2000s and Bionicle is in its Gen 1 heyday and I can design a proper Gen-1 set? Easy--I'm designing a Toa Voriki: think something like the Toa Norik/Toa Iruini from 2005 or the Toa Lhikan set--or the Lesovikk from 2007: a Toa outside the standard six/twelve cannister sets of the year. This will be a third "Toa Hagah" style cannister: a Metru build black Toa, but with a purple mask/armour/feet/weapon. In other words, I'm turning my spray-painted, simple MOC into a real set.

But... if we're going to say it's 2024 and LEGO is what LEGO is in 2024... Then let's make Gen-1 revival set in the style of the Tahu GWP: a GWP Lariska, a GWP Nidhiki (in spider-transforms-to-bipedal human form) and a GWP Turaga Lhikan, with box art that clearly shows them on the Red Star. Nidhiki is ~somehow~ alive thanks to the death of Teridax and the magic of Mata Nui's final actions.

But.... if we're going PURE wish-fulfillment...

As a LEGO fig fan (even more than Bionicle--I know, I know!), I want to design a $500 playset along the lines of #10305 Lion Knights' Castle: a massive structure with a tonne of minifigs: the 6 Toa Mata, the 6 Turaga, the Chroniclers' company--and Jaller, Matoro, Nuparu, Hahli, Onepu, Kongu, Hewki, and McToran Makuka: a Kini Nui playset over the Mangaia lair, with Bohrok, Rahkshi, and an Avohkii hidden away. There's a Rahaga in a tree. The subfloor is built over a mosaic of Metru Nui. There's a palantír stand in Makuta's lair solely to amuse my LotR-fan self. If you buy Onepu and Onua parts on Bricks&PIeces, you can make a Voriki.

[damon-dullahan]

decided to use the new Bionicle GWP as a base to make the characters we REALLY wanted

[tributron]

Been making some new parts followed by a new set.

Voriki and how to be a Toa

If Voriki was an actual character I imagine he does something similar to the piraka. As in he dubs himself a Toa and has innate lightning abilities, but unlike the piraka he’s fully convinced of himself that he is a Toa, not just to fool others.

He is some sort of being that has a natural control over lightning and has a similar enough body shape to Toa. He is like an insane vigilante that saw Batman on tv but doesn’t entirely get what Batman is all about yet still wants to be just like him

[pahrak-the-sinnoh-slizer]

Had The Dream (TM) again 😞

[lemonylepid]

My interpretation of Voriki, the 7th Toa!

original website

Join the Turaga , the leaders of the native tribes on the island of Mata Nui, as they rediscover the lost legend of the Seventh Toa, and find out how one villager, the Tohunga of Earth, came to have the only purple Kanohi Mask and its significance!

Chronicle of the Seventh Toa

While the six mighty Toa roam the island of Mata Nui in search of  the Kanohi Masks of power, and prepare themselves to drive the evil Makuta and his creatures from the dark places in the land, the leaders of the six known surviving native Tohunga tribes meet in the sacred place.

Each of these leaders, or Turaga, is guardian of one part of the legend of Mata Nui, and as they relate their tales to each other in the sand of the sacred place with rocks and twigs as is their way, they discover that some ancient lore is emerging as they combine all the legends they know.  It is hovering on the edge of their consciousness, and they delve further and further into the past to the time when Mata Nui was still a paradise, before Makuta followed his brother, and the dark places appeared.

It is then that the Turaga Vakama, holder of the Great Firestaff and eldest among them, remembers the destruction of the ancient Rongo-Tablets Mata Nui had given to them which foretold the coming of the Toa from the skies, and showed the constellations by which they would know their time of waiting had come to an end.  Over time the Tablets had been pieced back together from the fragments scattered all over the Island, and the finest craftsmen among the Tohunga carved new Rongo-Tablets into stone.  Alas not all pieces could be found, and some had crumbled into dust, so they  filled in the missing pieces under the guidance of the Turaga of that time.

The new Rongo-Tablets where affixed to the base of the crystal telescope through which the keepers of the legend watched the skies for the red star to reach its foretold place among the constellations.  Yet Vakama and the other Turaga grew more troubled as they considered the missing pieces of information that had to be recreated during their restoration.  In the gaps thus left in the legend a more ancient malevolent shadow than even Makuta was hiding from their knowledge and perception.  Through the night and well into the next day the Turaga brooded over their legend and while they told and retold the ancient tales they slowly started to draw a new Rongo-Tablet into the sand.  In all their memories pieces of this legend were interwoven as an undercurrent, and they slowly fell into place.

As the rediscovered Tablet started to take on form, Turuga Whenua, protector of Onua's legend, recognized the symbol as something he had once seen in the rock quarry as a faded pattern left on the ground.  But who was that new Toa, which they for now named 'the Seventh'?  What powers did it possess?  And  where would this discovery lead to? ...

High above Mata Nui the ancient space station, that the Tohunga perceive as the red star, slowly rotates about its axis in orbit.  After what seemed like an eternity of silence the internal machinery had restarted, triggered by a signal placed deep within the heart of Mata Nui underneath the great volcano, long long ago.  The now busy humming of gears and pistons was only interrupted by a sharp explosion and the scraping of metal while the cylindrical projectiles where launched towards the island as the space stations rotation laboriously brought each launch tube into the correct position.  Six cylinders, containing the disjointed elements of a Toa each, had already been fired, and the Toa which thus awakened from their troubled dreams were returned to the land of Mata Nui to fulfill their destiny!

Yet one tube had not yet launched and many moons would pass before the station would be in the correct  position again.  In it the purple, black, and gray parts of the Seventh Toa lay, whose spirit was stirring restlessly, waiting to awaken like its brethren.  To be recombined into the most powerful hero yet: The 7th Toa, the Toa of energy!

The Seventh Toa

In his younger years, Tohunga Onepu of Onu-Koro had dug deep underneath the Volcano in the center of Mata Nui and found a purple Kanohi, the only one known in existence. He did not know, that he had stumbled upon the ruins of a lost city which had been destroyed and burried underneath the volcano in the time before time. No one knows if any Tohunga or their descendants had survived from this lost land. Their Toa, however, was waiting for his return from the skies. Waiting to avenge his people against the evil that had come to pass. Using the special powers of his Kanohi mask, and his mighty weapon, he would return to Mata Nui, and not rest until the wrong had been undone, and the remnants of the lost tribe were reunited, to take their rightful place as the rulers over the Tohunga. To rebuild their great civilization.

For he is Toa Voriki, the Toa of energy!

[iamamazingmason]

A set of old Bionicle pieces I did. I did a full set of these February last year when the special GWP came out. These designs are all from my modified take I did on that set.

We have G1, Adaptive Armors, G2 and my own take on G3

The major changes from my proposed third generation, are we swap out earth for electricity. Embracing the fan made, fan favorite seventh Toa. Voriki

Lewa and Pohatu also our gender swapped to make things more even. Gali is no longer the “token girl one”

[wjbs-bonkle-au]

Let's talk about the dude on the Beeronicle can.

(image stolen from @bussyfajitasworldofpain's Beeronicle MOC post)

Ok so like. Whoever designed the label clearly knew their stuff; let's break it down, brick by brick...

Mask

Appears to be based on the '01 Hau, but it also has elements of Voriki's mask, and this prototype mask.

Torso

Literally just Jaller Mahri. Moving on,

Legs and feet

They appear to be articulated versions of the Av-Matoran legs!

Right arm

A heavily-stylised Mata arm, with Vakama Hordika's blazer-claw. The shoulder-joint uses the Hordika orientation.

Left arm

Standard mata limb; the claws used for the fingers are modified, shortened versions of Gali's hook.

There are also the beer-tanks, but I'm pretty sure they're original, maybe a way of explaining the chest-tubes.

[binkybonkles]

Aaaand she's almost done, just needs some recoloured parts, anyway, there's a pic of Voriki next to Kopaka's shadow toa counterpart, an alternate mask made by Socketball/Novuscarpus, and a few internal shots to help anyone out with copying the build

[ctrl-alt-tahu]

Thoughts of Akamai and Wairuha

"You shouldn't talk about the Great Spirit like that," said Pohatu, as they continued to cross Ko-Metru. The wan lights above the dome were at their zenith, providing a pale glow over the ruined city. As they climbed around the exterior of one of the largest (or least-ruined) towers of the Metru, they could see at a distance other portions of the city.

"I believed in Mata Nui, once," said Voriki. "I even thought I met him… but what Great Being would claim to watch over the Matoran and leave us with this." He paused, looking out over the city. They were on a landing of sorts, a flat place that opened where the broad tower below them turned to a much narrower spire. They could see north, east, and south, and Voriki waved a hand over them all.

"You should have seen Metru Nui then, when I first came here: the Coliseum there"--he pointed north east at the most ruinous area they could see: the centre island broken and cracked--"the Temple of Mata Nui in Ga-Metru, the chute system, the great forge of Ta-Metru. It was the envy of the world, and envy it the Makuta did. I don't know all the centuries of war and scheming before my time, but they weren't without effect: Metru Nui no longer ruled its empire, and only one Toa still stood with Turaga Dume, who ruled this city: Toa Lhikan, Toa of Fire.

"I don't know where he got the Toa Stones that transformed us. I don't know why he waited until he was the last Toa left and the sea-gates were on the verge of being breached. I don't know why he picked the seven of us--but he did, and we became Toa: me, and the six you say you know as Turaga: Vakama, Nokama, Matau, Onewa, Nuju, and Whenua."

"A seventh Toa!" Lewa whispered. Onua nodded, but gestured for silence. Kopaka and Tahu shared a cryptic nod.

"We weren't enough," said Voriki. "While we tried to learn how to control our powers, how to control our masks, we sought the great Kanoka disks, drove back the Morbuzakh--and missed how much we were needed at the sea-gates. Important as our little quests might have been in peacetime, they were distractions when the city was threatened from without. What did it matter if the Morbuzakh was choking off the Great Forge when the Matoran were vanishing and the Visorak were invading?"

"What are Visor--" Lewa began even as Gali asked "why were the Matoran vanishing?"

"Visorak are a sort of swarming, insectoid Rahi," said Voriki. "There were thousands of them, directed by Sidorak, a mighty servant of the Brotherhood of Makuta."

"And the Matoran?" asked Kopaka.

"We didn't realise it until much later," said Voriki, "but Turaga Dume was long gone. He was being impersonated by the Makuta himself, and it was all his plan: the Matoran were being put in stasis even as the city fell to the Visorak. Metru Nui fell to attacks from both within and without. Only the seven of us were left free in the city--well, and the five Matoran we stole away with us. Whenua, Nuju, and Onewa stayed behind in the Coliseum to buy the rest of us time to escape, and while we were on the run in Po-Metru, Vakama collapsed and Matau and I learned that he had been keeping a secret from us--visions, or so Nokama called them."

There no hiding the looks that the six Toa gave each other. So Vakama is still associated with them, then, Voriki thought.

"He said he had seen the Great Beings in council, and that they had told him that Mata Nui was asleep and we must wake him, and that Valour and Wisdom would guide us. At the time, I believed this was a sign, and that we had to save Metru Nui by waking the Great Spirit, and I believed that Akamai and Wairuha would come and help us--but though we found a Mata Nui of sorts, in the end, no Great Beings came and guided us. If Vakama's vision meant anything, it must have been metaphorical: wisdom and valour, not personified beings."

"They are true-real," said Lewa. "Takua told us."

The wind seemed to pick up, and the already chilly ledge was far from comfortable to any save Kopaka, but no one moved as Voriki stared at them.

"You mentioned him--Takua," said Voriki at last, "in your tale the other night: he is your chronicler."

"Yes," said Tahu.

"And he claims to have seen Akamai and Wairuha," said Voriki.

"Yes," said Pohatu.

"Not 'claimed'," said Gali. "He did see them. I have felt what he has seen."

"Was this before you came to the island?" asked Voriki.

"No, this was the first great battle with Makuta," said Gali. "As we said in our tale: after scouring the island for the Golden Kanohi and being united at last, we faced the Makuta beneath the temple of Kini Nui and defeated him, for a time."

"You said nothing of Akamai and Wairuha," said Voriki.

"We didn't exactly tell you every kick and blow," said Pohatu. "To be honest, most of that battle is a blur. We entered the cave, encountered the Manas and… returned later, victorious. Takua remembers more than we do."

Voriki said nothing, but it was plain that he wanted to dismiss the idea, and why not: if they remembered so little and if the Makuta hadn't even been truly vanquished, then perhaps they hadn't been victorious at all. Yet if their chronicler claimed to have seen Akamai and Wairuha…

"We should get going again," said Voriki. "We're almost there. If the Pituita Nui is still functioning, we can close the sea-gate. I'll have Tehutti see what we can do to close them permanently, and we need to find Nidhiki and Krekka, but that can wait till tomorrow."

He tapped a door that opened onto the ledge with the slightest jolt of electricity, and the door popped open, not quite chest-height.

"An access point for Matoran technicians, not Toa, I'm afraid."

"So, what happened next?" asked Pohatu, "in your story? You went from Po-Metru to find Mata Nui?"

"No, not right away," said Voriki. "First, we encountered more Toa."

[irradiated-imp]

The Toa Sinis

The former toa Protectors of Metru Nuva, a massive metropolitan city built on Spherus Magna.

The Toa Sinis were infamouns amongst Toa for the ruthless efficiency they operated on thanks to their leader, Toa Ohtto. EVentually, the city turned on the Toa after they broke the Toa Code and the team never got over this and themselves have turned on the city they used to protect.

Toa Sinis of Ice, Ohtto

Ohtto was the leader of the Toa Sinis. He is incredibly intelligent and used to work as a Scholar in the city's knowledge towers before he became a Toa. His inteligence however gave him a massive ego, which only got worse upon becoming a Toa.

His Toa tool is the mechanical arms her wirlds.. They were oroginally a device he attached to himself to help with his work as a matoran, but the process of becoming a Toa fused them to him. They have numerous alternative weapons the claws on them can become.

Toa Sinis of Stone, Lehks

A powerful brute of a Toa, towering over his team mates, and with unparalleled strength. Lehks is absolutely the muscle of the team. He's well known for his incredibly short temper, something that was only really kept in check by Ohtto and the rest of his team.

As a Matoran he worked as a City Guard. Like many Guardsmen, when the Vahki 2.0 were created and introduced to boost law enforcement, he despised them. He didn't trust them, nor did he like the threat they posed to law enforcement jobs. To try and show the Vahki as redundant, Lehks agreed to test out a prototype set of power armor. He loved it, and was always seen with it. Upon becoming a Toa, however, the proto type armor was melded to his body.

Toa Sinis of Air, Tuum

Tuum was an inventor as a Matoran and created numerous useful gadgets that are often still used in Metru Nuva today. His final invention, before becoming a Toa anyways, was a wing pack that allowed Matoran to fly. It never got past the prototype. The prototype functioned, but manufacturers saw no reason to make it with the numerous other air born vehicles Matoran had access to. Tuum spitefully kept the Prototype and used it on a regular basis. The Wing pack even became his Toa Tool upon his transformation.

After becoming a Toa, Tuum found more comfort in the air with his now much more advanced wings.

He was known for his spiteful nature, and tendency to hold grudges. Even before the team went bad, Tuum often went out of his way to inconvenience or bully those who'd wronged him as a Matoran.

Toa Sinis of Fire, Ghob

Ghob was always a little cross wired. Though he kept it in check, he had a destructive nature, and greatly enjoyed breaking stuff which played into his chosen career path in demolitions.

Upon becoming a Toa, Ghob's sky board changed into the new, current shape as a sort of powered glider. It holds within it empty canisters that Ghob is able to transfer fire energy into to turn into bombs.

Ghob was easily amongst hte most destructive of the Toa Sinis, rivaled only by Lehks and even then, Lehks had more self control than Ghob did. This often left Ghob at odds with his team, and the Matoran of Metru Nuva.

Toa Sinis of Sonics, Shuul

Shuul is one of the most pragmatic of the Toa Sinis. When he was on a mission his primary goal was to get in, and get it done as quickly as possible as effectively as possible. Thanks to his sensitive hearing, he had difficulty using his element, until Tuum and Ohtto modified his gauntlets. The new modifications they made allowed him to channel elemental powers into silent shockwaves.

As a Matoran he worked in tectonics, helping monitor for seismic activity.

Toa Sinis of Lightning, Illhon

Illhon is effectively the only member of the Toa Sinis who lacks a Toa tool, channeling electricity through body alone. Initially he had difficulty controlling his element, but he got the of it quickly. He quickly became obsessed with the new found power his element gave him, and the further boost to that his Kanohi Voriki gave him. It wasn't uncommon to see him draining buildings or other powered structures of their energy.

Something no one on his team let's him forget is that in his Matoran days he was an electrician.

The Toa Sinis as Matoran

Been on a Spider-Man hyperfixation lately, and had the idea for a bionicle Spider-man cross over. I'll have a team of Spider-men made later on, once I've settled on the team comp and their elements. Got it, mostly, figured out but still figuring it out.
