UPDATE:
1) I've been saying it wrong this whole time. It's actually PTFE, not PFTE.
2) PTFE/Teflon is actually very stable and safe!
It's even less toxic than, say, the microplastics we ingest daily. Its toxicity only arises when it's broken down; this only occurring at high temperatures (generally above 500 degrees fahrenheit) and during some sliding conditions.
from Lalam:
"PFPE and PTFE are the most common fluorinated lubricants, and are generally regarded as some of the safest lubricants. They are used in the aerospace industry for their remarkable stability, but this stability comes at a cost. When broken down, fluorine can bond with other atoms and molecules to create particularly harmful substances. While PFPE and PTFE are stable against UV and oxygen, under tribological forces, the polymer chains can sever. PFPE, in particular, has been shown to develop a lewis acid (with iron) under very extreme tribological conditions, according to NASA. I'm not aware of any studies showing reactions under ambient tribological conditions, but polymer liquids and solids can still undergo chain scission under very mundane circumstances. This can include within a plastic joint. I'm aware that, while repeatedly and vigorously moving a POM part on another POM part back and forth, with PTFE powder coating it, that at some point it stick slips and eats away at the plastic. This at a significantly higher rate than unlubricated POM on POM parts. I don't know what is being generated in these conditions, but it appears to be short lived, and I don't believe this would happen under normal use."
your rant about lego's current buildable figures feels deeply validating as someone whose made this complaint only to be met with a "yeah you've talked about this before" and nothing more from people who have no clue what i'm talking about.
Mootroid: "This year, I lost my dear friend Eljay!"
Eljay: "Quit telling everyone I'm dead!"
Mootroid: "Sometimes I can still hear his voice!" 😭
Man rip Eljay he will be remembered 😢
Rip Mangosteen guy.
I like the casual police disrespect
the vahki must be abolished
@@mootroidXproductions #AVAB (All Vahki are Bionicles)
"We collect toys, not investments"
So based... so peak
5:14 oh that's gore. That's gore of my comfort character
Ah yes, Eljay. The Linus Tech Tips of the Bionicle Community. He will be greatly missed, RIP.
"Time to do what Tahu always wanted to, and take an intimate look at Kopaka's tlts"
"Now grab a 2 by 4 downward bracket. Uh, there's some red gunk on this one too."
Seems like Tahu did take a good look in there, and he left some evidence behind.
ah dammit i meant 2x2 bracket :(
What an incredible video, I'm always so impressed with your pacing and the consistently quality jokes that had me laughing the entire time. Not only that, but the actual builds of these Mata revamps are amazing! They honor the original aesthetics and scale almost 1:1, and the poses you can get them in are so expressive and dynamic. They seem so sturdy too, which is generally my biggest issue with a lot of Mata revamps. Fantastic work as always Charlie!
you are so kind. thank you so much for validating my efforts.
That eagle scream left me deaf and blind
1:58
I want it known that recording this mech required me to put a mobile phone tripod on my face like a headcrab and trying to get even these shots was agonising
that punch was with the rage of someone who had to do that recording 5 times over
42:48 _"So now put his back back on his back"_
This is why English is my favorite language 😂
This video is a banger. Wish I had the pieces on hand to try this build but I’m here for articulated builds for animation purposes😁🤘 Congrats dude!
I don't even have any Bionicle. But I love watching your videos.
Oh yeah, and BRING THE BIONICLE AND CCBS PIECES TO PICK A BRICK!
END THE FINITE OF BIONICLE PARTS!
Pretty hard to do that if the parts aren't made anymore and the molds have been destroyed.
@@legorocketraccoon8297 We're talking about the company who literally made the parts.
It's like asking Coca-Cola why there is no Cola anymore "Sadly production of the Coca-Cola beverage has stopped" - "My guy, YOU'RE the production"
Even If the molds are destroyed, Lego can make new ones with improvements to reduce parts breaking.
"But making a new mold costs a lot of money!" - Lego isn't a small company, and they're already cutting many corners, especially with the display sets.
Lego could incrementally add the molds to pick a brick and set a high selling price to get the money back for the mold.
I don't know how it looks like with the copyright, but I hope independent companies legally take a stab at making bionicle parts.
13:28 is probably my favorite sentence ever
RIP Eljay
Lego does actually make red studpins now, they're listed separately as they have added friction. The frictionless ones have also appeared in white.
Also no Roodaka's species does not have dimorphism, the one guy they made green in the comic isn't even really green
Some people watch this for methods to have highly articulate Toa Mata. Meanwhile I watch it for the funny context.
No bionicle tutorial is complete without a healthy amount of existential dread
We learning the secret articulation tech with this one!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
Never did I think I would come across a video with a tutorial for some of the best mata Mocs with fun comedy, robot shipping, casual comments about political issues, with Leon simping, and insane gaslighting.
Legitimate peak content.
THIS PELVIS IS FIRE🗣️🗣️📢📢❗❗❗
I love this video
All the comedy makes it so much more enjoyable to watch compared to other people's videos
And the time it probably took to film this too
ty for the shoutout at 2:25 lol I really would like to see them come out in some way but idk how the hell I'd even give something like that to anyone
fucking RIP eljay lol
your designs are the greatest and i think about them at least once a week
I skew towards 'bar' for mata, but ofc I've said it both ways before
I think Kopaka *does* live in Tahu's head rent free, but Kopaka himself is just a Genuine Hater, since he judges literally everyone, up to and including Gali and Pohatu.
Nice on the raw footage. I appreciate your efforts, and do not take the amount of work that went into this video lightly
You gotta respect the Toa Metru for abolishing the police both during their stay on the Isle of Mata-Nui, and upon their return to Metru-Nui one thousand years later
Maybe the real Eljay was the friends we made along the way.
Excellent video, I really love your presentation, as always, and I look forward to aping the frame for personal use at some point in the semi-near future!
Man...Matau is so cool for permanently unaliving that cop.
I was not expecting a Tahu X Kopaka ship going into this, but I will unironically give a read to anyone who writes a fanfic about that.
Legends of Metru Mui is definitely my favorite movie.
I think I had the most fun with the Toa Inika and my favorite Toa designs has to be hands down the G2 CCBS Toa.
*puts an axle in a hole* everything reminds me of him...
Fantastic video and fantastic builds
Im going to sneak into your basement and steal all your bionicles
random notes I think of as I watch because my impulse to nitpick is too strong I should probably add timestamps but I'm lazy
-The axle-mixel joint connector actually exists in dark tan (albeit only in one H^rry P^tter set, but you can get them from pick a brick. Also they came out in black in a technic set from 30 years ago.) LEGO is generally more eager to recolor the mixel/towballs, it's just the sockets that they're stingy about.
-While I do like them aesthetically as well I'm pretty sure the pins on pohatu's legs are just there to facilitate the combiner model
-The brown parts didn't fade with age, LEGO actually replaced their main brown color entirely at some point in the 2000s.
-you mixed old and new greys on onua's legs and for that I'm going to have to steal your kneecaps
-oh also all vortixx look the same as roodaka regardless of gender
The ending. seeing you meeting his twin. super cool.
I've waited this video for SO LONG
Lalam24 is the same dude who inspired me to make my own!
Lego pls hire this person and restore the BIONICLE's glory 🙏
manifesting this
The world would be a significantly better place overall if LEGO released 1L and 2L stud axles.
Same with 1L pin with a stud end.
Everything in this is just so great, builds is so neat and everything else too !
YOU MADMAN! YOU HAVE DONE MATA NUI'S WORK (mine mostly cuz I asked in a previous video, srsly, thank you so much) 🔥 💧 🧊 🪨 🍃 🌍
I’m the 420th like and that somehow feels both deeply wrong and strangely fitting. Excellent tutorial btw, very clear and concise without ever feeling clinical. You should be proud!
Can't believe MootroidX got killed by the Krahka
honestly she was cool as hell and i wish she’d lived
@@mootroidXproductions She did! Krahka and Tahtorak are sucked into the field of shadows whilst fighting the Zivon, but emerge on Voya-Nui a thousand years later, after Brutaka opens a dimensional gateway with the intention of sending Axonn to that accursed place
He fails, but after the two combatants are gone, and the portal remains, Tahtorak and Krahka emerge from it. Then they fight Kardas for a bit.
Eventually she makes her way back to her old den in Metru-Nui, and she cameos in Takanuva's Blog during the Reign of Shadows portion of the serial
@@ChoRyuKaMi35 OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
does that happen in the legends books or an online serial or what
@@mootroidXproductions The pair reappear near the end of Legends 5: Inferno, after Axonn and Brutaka's last major battle in that book
Krahka makes her way back to Metru-Nui offscreen, but has the aformentioned cameo in Metru-Nui in the Takanuva's Blog serial, during it's 09 run
This is my current favorite video of all time
I pronounce the first “A” in “Mata” like the “A” in “bar”
you’re WRONG
Duckbricks gotta review these builds
Eljay cameo, always appreciated.
honestly. amazing video!
Thank you for replying to me about this. These are lovely
This is a good moc ngl
>”this is Teflon powder. I’m pretty sure it’s nontoxic.”
UHHHHH
> *ten seconds later* “so this stuff is definitely toxic and it says do not touch it to your skin”
At least you properly warned us.
I also very appreciate that the eagle sound (and the ass) is so loud that it actually simulates my hearing returning from a flashbang by ramping the audio back up to full volume after a few seconds.
Seriously though, this is a wonderful video. I love your editing style and getting a 45 minute video is a treat that I will not take for granted.
ok i talked to my chemistry buddy and it’s only toxic if it is heated to like 500f and otherwise it is very stable.
@@mootroidXproductions thank goodness. Someone came into my hardware store job a few years ago asking what type of sandpaper they would need to sand the Teflon out of their cooking pan. I landed on “don’t do that” because I had it in my mind that particlizing Teflon would put it in the guys lungs and that would be Bad.
Also need to heap on praise for the continued mindfulness of the current climate in the real world and how fiction reflects on those realities instead of hides from them, and also for what I would consider peak filmmaking in the last 40 seconds of the video. The timing, the perfect cuts between you and a ghost, the cliffhanger ending, the knowledge you didn’t wear pants to the door, I tried to do stuff like that all four years of film school and didn’t even come close.
@@ActionJacksonVideos holy heck that means so much
i put a lot of effort into editing what amounts to a few dozen takes shot on an ancient iphone
OG's remember the maskposting leg meme
eljay lore???????
Mat Pat, we call upon you!!!
Since you use mega parts, let me mention you can buy parts from Mattel through their customer support service, the form has an option for “missing pieces” where you can just say it’s a set that included that part and buy the piece as a replacement
perfect for stop motion! Great ideas! Thanks.
Another classic from my close, personal friend, ua-cam.com/users/mootroidxproductions!
I am never letting go of the phrase "With error, comes clarity" until the day I die.
I hope they bring back mask collecting in G3 but they do it in a way that also brings back matoran, where you get one of 6 matoran (no mask, one of each element) and 2 masks, one of which can go to the matoran or both can go to your mask collection
R I p eljay 😢
Everything I’ve been wanting in one place: a tutorial on the Toa Mata, but better
i like your flower pants
thank you i found them in the women’s section of goodwill
really grateful you uploaded this before I tried to reverse engineer the builds from still frames of your other videos
3:29 Lewa swings his axe
**cartoon sounds intensify**
I felt like I knew what I was getting myself into after the first build tutorial... then I got to the end of this one and I don't know what to feel...
10/10 real cool stuff, cant wait to build my goat potato
Great video, it just sucks that Eljay's dead.
I'm of the opinion that 2001 was actually the weakest of the Bionicle lines in terms of raw set quality.
8:23
Did Eljay really pass away??
yes but he was kind enough to appear in this video anyway
All jokes aside your builds are fantastic 👏
I'm a bit late to the party, but this video is great. Shows some great building techniques and tricks but it doesn't end up being boring at any point in spite of its length because it is frequently spiced up with humourous bits (also known as jokes idk why i wrote such a long paragraph just to say "haha it funny").
Sex joke so funny Someone thought I was crying
I fricking hate when people take away Pohatus thiccnes! Hes supposed to be a cute femboy (he just like me fr) so instead of going against it embrace it and youre a real one for doing so! :3
Why does the audio always quiet down, only to fade back in whenever there's an eagle screech in this?
We will always remember you Eljay
Eljay is watching but from his room
just starting this video but i pronounce it mata like cat, if you must know
edit: my mans knowing so much about lego and yet not knowing about the brown/reddish brown divide is very funny
edit 2: the pins on gali's butt actually *do* come in some other colours now! very recently they've started making red, white, and dark grey ones
edit 3: what a twist !!!! that was a very good video. I'm not a bionicle person but this made me kinda wanna be one
Maybe Hot-Take: Mata Revamps are too overdone, to the point of driving some people to actively dislike that Era of Bionicle (I'm getting close to that myself)
i have plenty more but these are the most requested
Never thought I would see the day where I can make these wonderful creations without needing to make mirco transactions and possibly getting a virus.
I pronounce mata like the a in bar also these builds are absolutely awesome when I get the pieces I am going to build these!😊
WOOOOO! I can finally make Onua do flexing poses!
rewatching this in honor of pridemonth
✊
This was an entirely hilarious and ultra based rant-tutorial-ytp 😂
I know that leg drama I'm in that Facebook group
39:40 GUHHHH????????????????????????HELPP LMAO
For a minute I genuinely thought Eljay was dead lol
I'm so confused.
Do more tutorials!!
I prefer your original Toas that you made for Is always bright in Mata Nui
they have the same torso design, only difference is the limbs--should be real easy to reverse-engineer
RIP Eljay, but loved the video
HHEESS ALIVE
FINALY
38:29 people STILL get this wrong and it drives me mad. thank you for your factual information about GRS in this bionicle video
I was so sad when I heard about Eljay’s death. Hearing that he slipped on banana peel and cracked his head open, really struck me deep. Rest In Peace, King
poor guy is banana peel bones 😔
Good point 👉
Pronunciations:
Toa Mata = Toh-ah, mah-Tah
('madda' pronunciation is an accent thing - something he has as Takua that he loses as Takanuva)
Lewa = Lee-wa
Onua = oh-Nu-ah
Tahu = Tah-hoo
Gali = Gah-lee
Kopaka = Ko-pah-kah
Pohatu = Po-hah-tuu
I was so on board up until you said modified and bootlegged. My purist heart does a cry! ;_: LOL
it's 100% possible to build them while maintaining purism!!
@@mootroidXproductions Then why the cut axles?
@@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor for aesthetic!
@@mootroidXproductions Fair enough. :D
I wonder what if you build the toa nuva in this style
i might! that would be sweet!
Vakama is a good leader for his team.
nokama took decisive action most consistently in the movies and books, and she was typically right about everything. vakama got there in the end but it took a long time.
Pronounce it like the A in cat. Right answer.
If we're gunna talk pronunciations why do people say "Ineeka" instead of "Inika" it's right there in the commercial and for some reason people say Ineeka.
edit: I was gunna say fuck you if you said it the other way, but honestly you are completely right. It's 100% vibes based and I'll accept that.
How might one obtain these Zero Clearance Brackets? Is there a website for purchasing individual Mega Blok parts?
unfortunately no. but lots of mega sets have them. i recommend checking the instructions online
@@mootroidXproductions Thanks for the info!
The white one from a angle looks like a storm trooper
I pronounce the first a in mata like the second a in mata. That's how they pronounce it in the movies, so that's how it's supposed to be pronounced. If you disagree with me you are wrong. Also, great video! I love it so far.
YOU’RE WRONG ACTUALLY
M-Ah-ta.
