Possible in-universe Gatherer quote: "Exo-Toa? Please I built my own mech from the bodies of my enemies, those glorified security drones got nothing on me."
This series you're making does really help with visualizing how each Dark Hunter and Rahi looks and that sort of allows me have preferences on which one to get first. I actually got Tyrant, Charger, Ancient, Mimic, Savage, the Hordika Dragon and a few others a couple months back thanks to some of your videos. They're also the reason that Tobduk and the Archives Mole have climbed up my preference list while Darkness has gone down.
You know, looking at him again, I truly believe Gatherer suffered the a similar fate as Firedracax; the people in charge of reassembling the models in preparation for taking photos just screwed up or misplaced parts.
So fun fact, just last night I finished this dark hunter along with my vengeance remake, and what I was able to do with him I am INCREDIBLY happy with, I managed to fit a whole voyamtoran in the chest of the suit, and even find a place for his kanohi, all while keeping the exact same look to them mech. I'm very proud of this, and I'm hoping to make a video tonight/tomorrow!!
Do you think he could still become a toa if he was given the opportunity? Like, under all the armor he's still a matoran, right? I think he looks pretty cool, and he looks better then usual.
@@XboxTF2Tidbits but I think that would likely have been more of a makuta corrupting the idea of Toa thing than him actually becoming a “real” Toa, due to the said unscrupulous nature of the character
I love that you respond to all the comments. I don’t know if you remember me, but i asked you for some advice a month or two ago on collecting bionicles, and I’m happy to say that I now have the Toa Mata, a couple Mctoran and Turaga, Hahli Mahri, some Rakshi and 3 Bohrok to add to my existing Mata Nui and Good guy. Thanks for the tips, Hahli Mahri might be my favorite inikabuild (or will be as soon as I get some keelrahk joints, damn 07 lime), and Jaller’s next.
There are literally two axle holes on the hand-connectors that hold the red rhakshi shells which they could've been connected to via axle, though it'd require making lower legs a bit longer.
Thank you so much for making/reviewing this dark hunter! I hope next Monday you review phantom because I’m building a character based on his instructions and it wasn’t without making major modifications and I’m hoping If could send some pictures for you to see.
Best of luck! Unfortunately I have a few other reviews scheduled before Phantom hits, but would love to see those pics and feel free to contact me on Instagram!
I’d honestly like to see you go back to these fanon models and actually fix them where you can. Maybe not for the extremely unstable ones but those you can fix easily. Like the Rahkshi shells.
This guy looks far better now in your video than it does in the official photo. I really love his head and overall looks but as you showed, the articulation sucks. However, since his backstory says that he always upgrades/changes his armor you can theoretically adjust his build with new pieces (or like you suggested, connect the rahkshi armor to the knee) and it still will be semi-canon look.
That will be July 1 - don’t worry, I’ll be publishing a reminder video the day before, and an actual video telling people to go out and order it as soon as it’s live!

Insert edginess
Its safe to say this matoran is simply built different. Great work as always, Chris!
Haha indeed he is

Glad you are enjoying and happy the videos are helping!

Perhaps, although I’m sure his unscrupulous deeds as a Dark Hunter may bar him from being noble enough
@@DuckBricks Well ahkmou was going to become a toa. He was going to become the shadow toa instead of Takanuva

I definitely remember you! So glad to hear you have some Bionicle sets of your own - that’s a great collection!

Yeah, it could have actually had a stable connection, that’s the annoying part
Master of rahi control gatherer the dark hunter is a menacing villain who has an arsenal of weaponry of his own! He also looks cool!
Indeed!
Thank you @duck bricks
@duck bricks my favorite dark hunter is eliminator! :)

Looks great! Thanks for the review. Working on a revamp of this guy myself so I like how you added the additional red on this guy.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed and have fun on the revamp!
I wonder if someone could make a version of this with a custom matorn that fits inside? That gimmick woulda been _the shit_
I’d honestly like to see you go back to these fanon models and actually fix them where you can. Maybe not for the extremely unstable ones but those you can fix easily. Like the Rahkshi shells.
That’s a great idea! Maybe once the review series wraps up
@@DuckBricks just to second @Corey W. , I would watch those videos too! I really enjoy all your content
Thank you, Duckbricks . Very cool !
Thank you Matthew, very cool!
This model is pretty cool! I wonder how it would look if someone revamped this!
That would be pretty interesting!
Maybe an exo toa esc thing but with more jutting out sides and it looks more tacked down

Agreed; he does look pretty good from certain angles
If anyone wants to revamp this guy, they should put a small Matoran build inside! Basically a cobbled-together Exo-Matoran!
DuckBricks , could you remind me , when we would we be able to pre-order a new Bionicle ideas set ?
That will be July 1 - don’t worry, I’ll be publishing a reminder video the day before, and an actual video telling people to go out and order it as soon as it’s live!
@@DuckBricks , thank you so much
The backstory is quite vague. I guess how he ended up in the dark hunters is up to interpretation
Yup, super curious to hear that story haha
Sadly, the official image also show his left hand being connected vertically :/
Dang, so it’s even worse
When is the review for tyrant?
The build tyrant isn’t that bad, but sadly I’m using him for parts
Should be coming soon! I think it’s within the next month if I remember my schedule correctly
@@DuckBricks cool. I have seen it on your videos during size comparison. Will watch when it comes
The legs are wrong obviously
there are a lot of parts substitutions in the review
oh well, it's close enough
