- Today we're taking another iconic Bionicle character and converting him into an evil Shadow Toa! This time it's Takanuva, along with his ride the Ussanui. #bionicle #review #takanuva
the melding universe approves
Beware the great beings.
These are so cool! Perhaps you should try doing the Toa Metru in their Turaga color schemes, or the Inika in their Mctoran color schemes
You should’ve given Light Makuta a copy of Turaga Nuju’s head, since the original Makuta uses a trans medium blue eye/brain piece, which Nuju also uses with a white head attached
You're right, the eyes should definitely be blue. Gonna switch them now!
I love your dedication to these alternate builds, as well as your willingness to experiment with dyes! The infected Hau on the Shadow Ussanui is a beautiful touch that speaks to your enthusiasm. I did NOT expect to see Light Teridax; what an amazing surprise!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
I love the use of the Skrall blades
I’d love to see light Makuta with more gold but hey still looks good. Still remember when I first saw the OG makuta in Walmart. I had cash in hand and my parents made me wait till Christmas. Best bionicle ever. Dude was solid as a rock.
I love this recolor, the use of the Skrall blades is quite clever, thanks for sharing great ideas 😁
The gold and black looks like some evil general leading makuta's armies. I love it
I love your videos man! These are easily my favorite sets, love what you did here. I almost have shadow Kopaka done, just missing a large gear and his shield. And I can't wait for the shiny Toa video! I know that one's gonna be great.
absolutely breathtaking. but ja seeing a shadow bohrok series would be pretty dope too and doable with all the nuhvok-kal pieces
Awesome build, glad you got around to Shadow Takanuva. I wonder what the Shadow Takanuva and Light Makuta combination would look in comparison to the OG?
Fantastic to see another entry into the Shadow Toa series! The red accents on the Ussanui work really well here and I love how your videos have a recurring trend of ending with a recolored titan. I'm curious to see if the burnt orange air katanas or blue-pin axles can be dyed black using this technique too. Will definitely be trying it out! Keep up the great content
I personally would have used the large black Brutaka blades that came with the snowmobile Glatorian set, and Hero Factory Rotor. Those would look so sinister as the landing gear and staff for Shadow Takanuva.
May be my fanfic brain here, but I imagine this Shadow Takanuva being the only Shadow Towa to go through a character arc. Being unable to fight the inherent purity of the power of light he is copied from, switching sides and betraying his creator.
if your using gunmetal for takanuva, you could probably use the 2008 avohkii since I believe that one is gunmetal.
Tridax's Shadow Takanuva army approves
Just realized that Shadow Toa are canon, i believe in one of the stories a Makuta was kidnapping Takunuva's from different realities to create a Shadow Toa army.
“My greatest creation after being made from a Bohrok Corpse,Dark Takanuva!”-Teridax.
7:22 - 2003-style Melding Teridax
this is pretty good! one thing, i think having the bike and takanuva himself in the same colors makes them kinda blend together when he's riding the bike. i think giving takanuva some bits of silver or red armor along his limbs would help that. i think maybe trans orange hands could help? as seen in the stars rhakshi. and maybe something different with the feet, though i'm not sure what
The bike looks awesome!
Everything looked fantastic
I like to imagine in an alternate timeline the good Makuta created the Raksei as an attempt to have something to fight back against the toa and show the matoran there being manipulated by the toa and teraga. But the raksei ended up going feral and thus it only made things worse.
Great colour choices!
This is so DOPE!!!!
I have the original set that i got as a kid but woild 100% buy this in an instant
It's a cool idea that there is this alternative universe, where Makuta is a good one and Takanuva the evil one.
That skrall sword was slick
😮so sick
The Melding Teridax!
Love that Ussanui!
An idea for a colours swap group could be the alternate versions of the Toa Metru from Time Trap (where the matoran the helped the toa metru became toa instead), not much new pieces needed aside from figuring out their masks and swapping up the small differences between how each one is built
I imagine the Shadow asa-nui sounding loud as hell. Like those jackasses who do everything they can to make their motorbikes as noisy as humanly possible and drive through neighbourhoods at 11pm
You can also use the silver Takanuva mask from his Stars version that was released in 2010.
It's a different shade of silver...
@@normanclatcher Oh.
@@sonidash216 very subtle, but yeah. The one on Makuta is "Pearl Light Grey" (same as the Nuva Armor) while the one with Takanuva Stars is "Flat Silver" (same as silver pieces used from the Piraka on).
Light Makuta goes really hard for no reason
Great work as usual man. By any chance is there a white dye as well for the gray and black parts of Teridax?
Unfortunately you can only go darker with dye, so white to black, but not the other way :(
Could you do other color sweaps of Makuta using the Rakshi shells?
Honestly if you use the gun metal for armor and somehow dyed the mask red that would look pretty cool
a while back, I made a cursed white axonn and red brutaka
Hey, how effective is dye with hot water? I want to dye some joint pieces to replace the original ones of hydraxon and mantax
Kohrak Kal hands come in dark orange in an old Star Wars set of the millennium falcon set, you might be able to dye those black… if you can find them…
I want to know if light teradax is just makuta redeemed imagine the crossover potential with light teradax showing up to protect the main timeline Toa from shadow takanuva who showed up at the same time though a different portal, there's just so much story potential with this
What I don’t get is why did they give makuta silver takanuva masks instead of gun metal versions. It would have matched the rest of the armor and allowed us to get a gun metal version of takanuva
And on top of that, the change does not affect the light gray pearl avohkii because they would still launch the mask in this color for stars 2010
Maybe continue with the shadow toa, but got with the 2004 line and maybe try to make the what would have been the sets of the Toa Hagah. There is only 2 sets from them as Toa and Toa Hugah were the Rahaga from 2005 lines. Iruini and Norik did get sets, I had Iruini as I couldn't get the two in one set as a kid.
If I could get the money, I would love to get set set, maybe a few dozen Vahki, Visoark, and Bohrok and a a few of each rahi sets. Of course I would get one or two of the sets with combiners and the pieces to make some of the Dark Hunters and the varying Makuta.
Idea: shadow turaga
I feel like he would make a good makuta body, other than a clone
I like the gunmetal armor. If you use Makutas mask it pretty much becomes a Toa Makuta (Teridax?)
can you do the town elders or what ever they were called
Can you make light rakshi to go with macuta
Man I made a comment here hours ago and it seems that UA-cam deleted it? Ah I'll make this one short then, the Takanuva Moc looks really well done! The red pops super well!
I made a comment on the Shadow Toa Nuva video that I was making my own Voriki which is currently pretty much almost done, I came to the realization thanks to this vid and due to shapeways being too expensive that I might be better off dyeing torso and feet pieces into purple instead of 3d Printing them and I found the dye you use in purple, based on your experience would you recommend a white Kopaka or a black Onua as the base pieces for a color close to the Onepu coloring?
Im gonna be trying some purple shorty, so I will let you know once I've had a chance to experiment. But you can't go lighter with dye, only darker, so I'm pretty sure that starting with white is the best option. Maybe blue. Stay tuned!
@@brickthumb Once again UA-cam deleted my first comment, not sure why it keeps happening on this channel specifically for me, maybe it had an issue with the imgur link I posted
I ordered violet dye of the same brand and tried it on a spare Kopaka torso and foot piece I had and the results were amazing, the purple is on point and pretty much indistinguishable from the 2001 bionicle purple.
You should try the combiner model of the 2 using only the pieces here
Stars takanuva scares me more than this version
If you have the parts, maybe do six versions of the toa team in each of teh six toas' colors
You should try make the shadow toa metru (you could dye the masks black)
The glitter avokhii could work for if you went with gunmetal armor
Also there is no reason for this to be canon, but I choose to believe the shadow ulsa nui exists and makuta used it to smash nuparu’s boxor specifically right after the bahrag queens were defeated as a middle finger to him specifically
Now hear me out: Light Mata! As in The Toa Mata and Toa Nuva as Toa of Light.
7:22 looks like makuta repented after dieing 3 times
You could continue the series by making all the enemies into good versions
Or make some shadow Turaga and Matoran
I honestly never thought of giving a Shadow Takanuva a shadow Ussanui. Love the use of black and red coloration though, as it harkens back to the 2003 Makuta Titan set
looks damn cool, I'm still searching for my Takanuva and the shiny Mask, the Light Makuta looks great too and could work as the version from another universe
Video idea: all toa nuva as toa of light. 👀👀👀
Ooh, I like it! Would that be white masks or gold?
@@brickthumb For the toa mata, white i think. Could look good with gold too.
I think for the toa Nuva that it would be gold mask and armor haha
Bionicle shattered glass
Another awesome job, excellent video man ^^
Do you like Slizers/Throwbots? Those can be color swapped too.
And if it is possible, reverse colors. So the red and orange swapped on a Toa
this works really well, and now I for some reason want to make a pink roodaka
The light Makuta is ridiculously cool by the way
Shadow INIKA please
Metru?
I think the purple parts are extremely rare
bionicle: WHAT IF?
All the versions look really great. I know the idea is to use all official parts, but i think it'd be cool to look into resin 3D printing a mask in black. I've been printing a lot of masks recently and I really love the results and how legit you can get them to look when you put in the effort.
That was quite a clever one.
Since this is sort of about Takuanuva in 08, Will you make the video on the canonical Unadapted forms of the adaptive armor Toa Nuva (i.e. the Toa Nuva in thier 08 colors)? Will It be a few videos from now, when you later cover 08 or never?
Takanuva toa of twilight
Nu Gundam approves.
These recolour / remake videos are my favourite!
Maybe palette swaps to turn the Toa into different elements? Berix' blue fire sword could make a Water Tahu, for example.
This sounds Fun, Lewa runs into the problem of his axe though
@@nevrikx could solve it the same way as he did the shadow Toa, by building a new axe from smaller system pieces
😂 I always dreaming to get one shadow takanuva and one light makuta 😅😂
I wonder how the gunmetal Avohkii from the '08 titan set would look with the armor, or if it would even fit
The old Style of head had a cross bit behind the mouth from memory so theoretically?
@@nevrikx they did, but I remember the '08 mask being larger than the original, so I'm wondering if it would collide with the shoulder armor or torso
Ah right. I never owned it so I don't know
Shadow toa metru
I would have used gun mental armor and the gun metal avokhi for Takanuva. You could tie it together using gun metal for the Rakshi shells on the vehicle as well... But perhaps it would be one too many colors, with the silver in there.
The skrall blade didn't worked on Takanuva at all. Specially if you look at him without the vehicle. The red just stand out too much. It could work if you added some red ascents on him as well thou...
PS: You should have used DARK RED for the shadow toa eyes instead of Pohatu's orange.
I kinda wanna see what full light and full shadow takutanuva would look like
underrated comment
Hm you have a really good idea
Siver
Silver
Just one possible change that would work well with the gunmetal armor, you could use the altered Avohkii from the Karda Nui version of Takanuva.
Shadow TOA metru
alright, i kinda wanna vote that the light makuta be, instead of teridax, be a restored Krika, since i BELIEVE he was one of like...two Makuta who didnt want to betray Mata Nui
which would also work due to his use of white and red!
Aaw little baby matoran Makuta on the usanui! 😂
wonder how the inverted Takutanuva would look now
You've gone too far whats next, shadow titan mata nui???
Blackanuva?
You could have used an Exo force Blade Titan blade for the spear
This is really weird as I watched both of the videos yesterday
