Description About The MOC
Remaku is perhaps my oldest MOC of all my MOCs, he is approximately 8-10 years old. After a few years of existing in his Original form , he got an update which is where he obtained his wings. This version of him and would remain this way for the next 5 years. It wasn't until earlier this year that I decided to scrap him knowing that I would completely revamp him. Remaku V3 is another case of the increasing practice of making a Bricklink order specifically for a MOC. This is something I know many other MOCers do, but it generally hasn't been the way I make orders.

Initially I started this project thinking I had everything I needed. I made the majority of Remaku then halted production of the MOC when I realized I didn't have enough of or the right elements to complete the wings in a satisfactory manner. Remaku stayed in hiatus for a little over a month before I was able to make a bricklink order to acquire the parts needed. He marks the first MOC of mine to ever be placed on hiatus mid build. I've simply never had to do that before. Well I personally think taking the time to wait and do this right paid off. Overall I'm rather satisfied with the build. The wing support isn't quite as structurally sound as I'd like it to be, but that is in part due to my decision to not include Hero Factory parts in this build. However, there are pieces that are newer than bionicle era(2001-2010), namely the Black Pearl Sails . The reason for this is I wanted Remaku to have a distinctly "Bionicle" feel to him. Hero Factory has a different look and feel to it, and seeing as this is probably my oldes MOC concept, I wanted to honor it by keeping it truly in the spirit of bionicle.

Bio
  • The Insurgence

    Remaku-the last Makuta is the ruthless leader to a semi independent group called "The insurgence of darkness." This group comprises both Dark Hunters and Makuta , specifically Reamku and a Makuta made experimental half Makuta half robotic entity known as Vhisorah . and lastly a single undead Skakdi ice apparition. Not wishing to bend to the whims of Brotherhood Of Makuta or the Dark Hunters Guild, they banded together as a small alliance swearing that the group would not grow beyond the 6 of them as a large organization was what they had rebelled against. Remaku was responsible for Vhisora's and Mototaur 's recruitment, while O-jin and Ryakk volunteered to join, who then recruited his brother Ootei . The group mainly takes high level jobs from the two factions of evildooers but only if the task is of substantial gain or is challenging to them. In their day to day activities the go through bouts of roaming and pillaging Matoran villages towns and cities, though they generally steered clear of Metru Nui as it was the one place where every enemy faction of theirs had dealings or establishment. If the insurgence had reason to be their they usually sent Ootei as he was the one best suited for infiltrating the city and blending in. The group seldom had internal conflict since they all agreed their alliance was mutually beneficial, and felt what was closest thing to respect that any of them could have for another entity.

  • The Last Makuta

    Remaku earned this title from being the last known member of the Makuta species to be created. He was created in a last ditch effort to help fight in the "Destiny War" Its not entirely certain, but it is believed that Miserix was responsible for creating and training Remaku. As the Botherhood lost many battles Remaku soon became disillusioned with the brotherhood member's weakness and squabbling and soon disenfranchised himself from the faction. When Miserix and other Makuta tried to stop or even kill Remaku as a deserter, they were too weak to defeat him and there were many casualties. However Remaku spared Miserix as repayment for giving him life. He vowed that if he were to try again his life would not be spared. It was then that an unspoken agreement was made that the Brotherhood would not interfere with Remaku's affairs and would consider him an ally to the faction. Remaku eventually became somewhat of an intelligence broker to the brotherhood, through his ties with the other insurgence members.


  • Teridax's Reign

    Remaku bears a striking resemblance to Makuta Teridax for this is who he was modeled after. Remaku was often confused for being some kind of spawn to Teridax, eventually the rumor spread and as Teridax seized control of the Matoran Universe Remaku allowed the rumor to spread and even would confirm it. Once this rumor made it to Teridax he became insulted and enraged that some new born Makuta was posing as his offspring. Teridax ordered a manhunt for Remaku which didn't last long as most of the Makuta were already turning against Teridax, or knew that Remaku would kill them just as easily as Teridax would. It also wasn't long before Teridax was preoccupied with his preparation to leave for Bara Magna and quickly lost interest in Remaku. As Teridax was killing off the members of the brotherhood he took to keeping a low profile and hiding out in a tunneled stonghold that was mostly created by Ryakk. Remaku stayed there throughout the entire conflict with Teridax and Mata Nui and the whole reformation of Spherus Magna . This potentially makes Remaku as well as Miserix the last surviving members of the Makuta species. Remaku eventually fell into legend with only the other insurgence members knowing where he truly was, leaving many to speculate that he killed in the whole ordeal, though some believe he just lay dormant and is waiting for the right opportunity to resurface...

Thanks again Dennis. I can't help but blush at all the kind things you have to say about my MOCs. You're too nice.

Remaku is still very much humanoid. I didn't want to stray too far from the original concept, just beef it up to a "holy fuck" level. I need to update his and a few other MOC's descriptions to show their trophies. Remaku got "Most Intimidating" last year at Bricks By The Bay. So I'd say that worked. I plan to do this with Archimedes that's if I can get my MOC room in order and start working at it. As for the swords, those used to be his wings. Since I redid the wings it didn't feel right discarding those because they used to be the signature point of the old version of the MOC. So instead of trying to tack them on in a place they didn't fit, I switched them to being fire swords. I was quite happy with how they turned out, despite being a rather simple construction.

Ohbby Ohbby Ohbby Ohbby Ohbby Ohbby

I am nearly without words. I need a moment to compose myself.
*TWENTY MINUTES LATER*
Okay, let's get on with this shit.

I think this is the first time a MOC has ever left me entirely without any words except for three. "HOLY," "FUCKING," and, "SHIT." Now, because I can't come up with a good intro due to my lack of words, I'll start with what this review will contain.

THIS REVIEW WILL CONTAIN:
What is good about this MOC
What is bad about this MOC
Lots of praise and possible worshiping
A guide on how to effectively damage your skull

Got it? Good. Now, here we gooooo!!

Y'know, I didn't expect to see something this amazing. I was just browsing random MOCs, a little generic Toa here, a little boring black and silver titan there, and all of a sudden GIANT FLYING FIRE DEMON OF ORGASMS, which is how I will now refer to this MOC. Now, what could possibly set this apart from everything else? The wings, of course, as if you didn't already know that. The wings are titanic and glorious, and almost seem like they could lift this GIANT FLYING FIRE DEMON OF ORGASMS into the air, unlike 90% of wings on MOCs. However, they're not perfect. Personally, I'd like to see a little more on the backs of the wings, just to spice it up a little bit.

"-B-BUT WINGS DON'T MAKE THE REST OF THE MOC AUTOMATICALLY GOOD!!" you say as you rudely interrupt. Yes, well, what's the rest of the MOC like? Pretty good, actually, except for a few things. We've got some major bulk, with the entire MOC having this dwarf-esque look to it. Big ass feet, stubby legs, squat body and wide shoulders. The green somewhat breaks up the monotony of the red, black, and gunmetal grey everywhere on the MOC, but it seems kind of out of place in contrast to the fire swords of doom. I feel like they would fit more if they were orange rather than green. It seems even more out of place with the fire pieces strewn across the insides of the wings.

The ankles are really thin, and could use some major bulk to match the rest of the armor. The hips have this incredibly weird effect to them, where they appear perfectly bulky and normal when standing straight, but a huge gap appears when he splays his legs. It really seems odd and almost like he's just wearing really weird armor. Still, it's well made and incredibly good looking, and I'd prefer it over a generic Toa any day.

Now, if this thing's wings are so glorious, the overall image is nice, and it looks so god damn amazing, why does the vision suffer so much? We need to dig deeper, friends!

The base concept of the MOC is incredibly flawed. Tell me if this sounds like a good idea. Let's stick wings onto a tank and hope it flies! We have bulky-ass LoTR dwarf wearing half a car over here with wings strapped to his back, meaning he's about as aerodynamic as a fucking brick. If he were hollow-boned with light, thin armor, it would seem possible for him to fly.

Now, you could roll out the whole "BIONICLE doesn't obey our laws of physics" thing Greg came up with when he wrote himself into a corner, but that is a bullshit argument and is about as valid as my expired credit card that I cut into pieces with scissors.

You could just bring out the argument "it's super robot logic that isn't even trying to be smart in any way, shape or form, and is just fun," but that doesn't work either. The story seems awfully serious and lacking in stupid fun for that to apply.

Ah hell, I still love this thing to death. It's original, fun, glorious, and has wings that could send an airliner off course by flapping. If applauding this thing means that we can have more things with as much originality and interesting design, I will applaud it until my hands combust. So yes, well done Mr. 3rdeye. You have successfully made my eyes cum. Enjoy your ego boost.







Earlier, I promised you a guide on how to damage your skull, and you're gonna get that fucking guide.

Watch Sharkboy and Lavagirl all the way through, then once the movie is over, hit your head on the corner of a wall. Your skull will cave in, as it has now become as durable as silly putty due to the horrible movie. Enjoy your now warped skull and brain!

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Magith1 [2013-08-25 01:50:06 +0000 UTC]

Well I guess I need to reply to this text wall sooner rather than later.

First off, thank you for that. It was quite an enjoyable read. I  Lol'd at a lot of it.

Your first issue is the green: Okay. All I'll say here is that the color was part of the original MOC, even the very first one. You've got to remember that this is a revamp of a very old MOC of mine. 3rdeye88.deviantart.com/galler… The green as his eyes is very hard to see, even in person, but his eye color is dark green. The rest of the green is an extension of that. Its something I've always done with my MOCs, their "energy" color is what ever their eye color is. Its something I've done from day one and its something I never stopped doing. So I'm going to say that the green is here to stay I don't care what anyone says. Now if you wanna suggest parts I could use or ways I can present it evenly would be a welcomed suggestion.

Yeah a bunch of people have pointed out the ankles. That was strictly a mobility thing. If you impede that actuator, it completely throws out the ankle articulation. But you're right they're disproportionately thin. I'll see what I can do about that. I updated the directory with the link to MOCpages. Take a look at the individual pictures(they're also on flickr), see if the thing about the armor still holds true once you can see the photos better, if you can, could you be more specific about what you mean by "weird armor."

Yeah I don't doubt for a second that even though these wings are huge, they still wouldn't hold him up. I actually have a couple ways I can respond to this.

  • In Legend Of Metru Nui, Makuta(oh sorry makuta teridax had wings and they were far to small for him, he simply used them to assist in jumping around like a fucking boss. So in that sense these could be more for short flight and extreme jumping, if you wanna go that rout.


  • With the second MOC and even Archimedes, there's a loosely established concept that there's some kind of propulsion system. On Archi its his big sword on his back, with the second Remaku it was that he had tahu flames on his back that moved with a static vakama flame sword, and that was remaku's  propulsion system. Here it could probably the fire elements on the wings. Is it a perfect concept, no, but use your imagination

Besides. If you logic the bionicle story that hard, it completely falls on its ass. "Sure lets fling some universes around, and smash three planets back into one, sure that's not gonna kill like hundreds of millions of inhabitants on FUCKING EVERYWHERE! We'll just use that fancy stick that fixes everything and it'll be all good."

Well I'm glad you like it Magith. Thanks again. MMMM ego boost *sips* Oooo frothy.

This is an amazing MOC, to begin with. Just going to get that out of the way right now.

I reeeeally love the wings. They are incredibly original, and magnificent. They seem like the sort of wings the Makuta really SHOULD have, as opposed to the wings that were on the sets, which while being cool, weren't particularly magnificent and stunning. These fulfill that particular need for the grand and darkly majestic power of the Makuta.

I really like the ideas behind the swords, and I can totally see what's going on with how they are supposed to turn out. Personally, however, I would not have used that design, due to the fact that they just are not designed to look like swords. If you think of them as swords, then you can see what they're conveying, but to a less experienced eye, it may come across as confusing.

I LOVE the body and arm design. They're powerful and very Makutish. I also love the random splashes of green across the body, as it gives the feeling of maybe some little crack in the armor where Antidermis has seeped out. It also enhances the colour scheme. Also, very nice placing of the tendon for the ankle. Those are hard to get in there without very specific leg construction models, and it looks good. However, if I were you, I'd place a bit more armour around the ankle. Nothing too huge is required by any means, but the ankles look just a little bit thin. Admittedly, functional is better than aesthetic a lot of the time when it comes to joints, but it looks like you've nailed functional on the head, and aesthetic is definitely not bad either.

Overall a beautifully constructed piece of BionicArt, and a spectacular Makuta overall. The sense of fire and majesty is profound, and I just can't stop LOOKING AT THOSE AMAZING WINGS. e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" data-embed-type="emoticon" data-embed-id="391" title=" (Smile)"/>

I had always found something fasinating about this moc from its original form, and now I can see why. This is a great moc as always, I can't seem to find anything wrong with it, although the size of certain limbs like the wings make it difficult to say this is one of your best mocs, I am not saying I hate the wings, they just look too huge for the moc, although they are a great design.

Great moc as always, keep up the good work and hope to see more from you soon.

Thanks for this, but you probably could have left it as a comment. TBH I'm not entirely sure I want to vote this as fair. I'd be okay with this as a comment, but as a critique I feel doesn't really offer much, its more of a comment than anything else. I'll at least ask you what course of action you'd like to take before I make a decision. if you really feel this is a critique I'll allow it, but I feel its more of a comment with your thoughts than a constructive critique.

A beautiful MOC across the board. Your technique is flawless and I whole-heartedly applaud the use of your panel work wings; the specific directionality of the wing tips is outstanding for posturing and impact of stance. As to your color theory, I appreciate you sticking to the three color value system that Lego upholds featuring Black neutrals, red accents, and green highlights. If any one particular criticism sticks out, I would have liked to see the green distributed over a few more areas just to heighten the accent points of some of your Makuta's more enticing features. That said, you've encompassed a rather large scale of parts from various season of the Bionicle world and that makes this MOC'er very happy. Most notable in your model is the use of non-bionicle typical technique pieces such as your crafted swords. I am most happy to see dragon wings being used for something other than a wing and their directionality truly sells the "flaming sharp blade of doom" effect. Overall and extremely well rounded MOC that certainly makes this MOC'er proud when speaking of a Makuta being fierce and menacing. Two thumbs up!

Awww Poor baby. If you read the rules it said that older creations are allowed. So why not? I can't help that I built a really cool Makuta MOC three years ago, and now it's a viable entry into the contest.

It says right here
- Entries can be previously built, but to ensure fair play entries cannot be submitted previously in any contest of any kind competing for a prizeI'm going to build a MOC for the contest as well. But seeing as old MOCs are allowed, then you can bet your ass I'm going to submit my old creations. The contest creators are clearly giving us the opportunity to have as many chances at this as we can so I'm going to take that opportunity to throw as many darts at the board and see what sticks.

It's not about the rules.  It's about being an ass to everyone else who, like an actual legitimate competitor, started from scratch to make something for the contest specifically, rather than rehashing something from years prior built on a whim.

I don't care if the rules allow it.  That doesn't change the fact that it's lazy, and if you were half as talented as you think you are, you'd stick with entries that you actually built FOR THE CONTEST, rather than recycling some overly-detailed BS in an attempt to get a head-start over all the eager adolescents that are actually competing.

Because throwing this in?  That's not competing.  That's being a conniving opportunist.  But hey, not everyone wants to have self-respect.  I just thought someone of your accolades would.

You're missing the point where literally everyone else has the same opportunity to do the same exact thing I've done as well. Its not like I have an advantage over anyone else. If you've got an old MOC that fits the bill, then by all means you should submit it because it's allowed. You're also missing the point where I've said multiple times both here, on Rebrick and Flickr that I am going to build something for the contest as well.

Its really quite simple, if you're not okay with the conditions of the contest, don't compete then. I'm following the rules which state that old creations are acceptable and that multiple entries are allowed. So that means they want as many entries as possible, new or old. You're allowed to do it to, no one is stopping you. The fact of the matter is you're agreeing to their terms, if you don't like them don't agree to them and don't compete. I'm not going to be held responsible just because you don't like the conditions of the contest.

Hondomo In reply to Plague-Doc-Matteo [2016-08-04 04:28:20 +0000 UTC]

Lego can't officially prohibit it because MOCists could simply recycle pre-built MOCs they never publicly shared, while others would get paranoid and go after G1-part-exclusive MOCs, with the MOCist having no means to officially prove their innocence unless, again, they already publicly shared the stuff, which some don't always do.

It's too much of a mess to outright ban, so Lego trusts the integrity of the contestants.

Morality and ethics still carry weight in a contest, and as a grown adult you are fully responsible for your actions.  You CHOOSE to take this short-cut (twice now).  You CHOOSE to take his head-start over others.  Don't act like everyone's in the same position.  Not everyone has the years behind them to nab some years-old photos of a semi-decent MOC of olde.  Repurpose a MOC they were already in the middle of building?  Perhaps, but that still involves more work and thinking about the contest than what you're doing.

Look, you seem to hold yourself and what you do in high regard.  Enough to have an authoritative voice over the merits of critiquing (or lack thereof, in your case).  Enough to think people should pay you for commissions like a big-shot artist.  So why, oh why, do you take this lazy route?  Why devalue yourself?  Just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD.

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Hondomo [2016-08-04 17:36:14 +0000 UTC]

That's not true because in previous contests they have prohibited old creations. They did that for the first contest. But yeah there's nothing stoping someone from posting an old MOC they never posted before to the contest. Which I don't really thing there's anything wrong with that. If they feel it fits the contest and they've never posted it before what difference does it make? Its new to everyone else who's seeing the MOC for the first time.

I've already said this but I guess I have to keep repeating myself. The rules of the contest make posting old creations a viable means of entering the contest, two different rules allow this, being able to post multiple entries, and being able to post old creations. if you're not happy with the terms and conditions then don't compete. I'm not going to be held responsible just because you don't like the terms and conditions they set forth. I'm following the rules, as they've laid them out, I've done nothing wrong.

Its only your opinion that I'm "devaluing" myself. I think if someone has an old MOC that fits the theme of the contest, then by all means they should submit it to the contest. Its not like I'm doing something that nobody else can do. If someone doesn't have an old MOC then yeah they are at a disadvantage, but there's plenty of experienced MOCers out there in the world. If none of them take the opportunity to submit those old creations of theirs, then that's their loss. I for one am going to take the opportunity presented to me. I'm not going to not do something just because some noobs don't have the experience I do to capitalize on. I've worked very hard to get where I am as a MOCer, when the opportunity to utilize those skills and experiences comes up, you bet your ass I'm going to take it. If you've got a problem with that, then it's a problem with the terms and conditions of the contest, not with me. Get your shit straight dude.

As for the commissions, There are far more Lego builders out there who take commissions. Hell I'm not even the only bionicle builder who has done commissions.

Stop blaming the rules.  The rules didn't force you to do anything.  You're an adult.  Own up to your own choices.  You CHOSE to be an opportunist that doesn't give a shit about other people.  You CHOSE to disregard your self-pride in the name of a prize, regardless of means.  Own the hell up to that and stop hiding behind optional rules you didn't need to take advantage of.

As I said before, just because you CAN do something, doesn't mean you SHOULD, and if you still can't understand what's so blatantly douche-y about entering MOCs never intended for the contest, legal or not, just for the sake of one-upping everyone else, I can't help you.

No, I chose to compete in a manner that is allowed. You do realize that you are literally criticizing me for using my experience at the same time of not using the very same experience right? You know, when I see idiots like you, I think that it just pisses you guys off at how easy it is for me to be good at what I do. That's really all this is about. Because you could do it to, anyone else can do it to, but it's going to be harder for you than it is for me, and that pisses you off. I'm not going to apologize for being good at what I do.

Yeah lets keep quoting Jurassic Park. Again, no one got eaten, no one's dead, no laws were broken, there's no moral dilemma here. It's a fucking contest dude, for bunch of Lego sets and an artbook. I'm not One-upping anyone because literally anyone with a MOC they think can be a/The Makuta can do this. LITERALLY ANYONE! And I'm fairly confident that by the end of this thing I won't be the only one who's done it. Secondly, I'm not asking for you help you fucking retard. I don't even know who the fuck you are, and I sure as shit don't need your help.

This is also going to be my last reply to you on this matter because there's no point in discussing it further.

If Lego is officially allowing it, then you are full of bullshit.

He technically did put the effort into the MOC, just in the past.

Great.

He put effort into a MOC in the past never intended for the contest.

You know what he didn't put effort into?

The contest entry, in the here and now.

There's the past, and there's the present.  Big difference.  Putting effort into a past project doesn't justify slacking off on a current one.

And how am I full of bullshit?  I never said anything about Lego not allowing it.  I said that just because it's allowed doesn't mean it's not lazy.  Say I'm in a race, and at the starting line, I'm edging my foot forward in front of everyone else, just enough to keep me from being disqualified.  Sure, it might still be "legal", but that doesn't stop the action from showing my blatant lack of care for what I'm doing.  It only shows I'm an opportunistic twat that cares only about the end goal at the expense of others.

I don't ride anyone's phallus, because I am not a faggot.

I have given an actual counterargument, and your side is the losing one. Yt we seem to have reached an impasse, due to the fact that ye be too butthurt to fully utilize common sense.

I was shocked to find that you entered this in the makuta contest.

I'm kinda scared now

The rules say that old creations are allowed, so it'd be kinda silly not to submit him. He is a "toa-fied" version of the Makuta, so why not?

You should still definitely submit something though. There's been a bunch of MOCs submitted since I posted mine. Some of them are pretty cool to.

I did at the last second. Sadly it didn't turn out well. It was more of a first draft if anything. Truth be told, I was going for 'big' and I kinda wanted to see if I can outdo your motortaur MOC

That's alright, at least you're trying to be ambitious. Lots of people get stuck in just building some lame variant of a plinky little dude MOC and never really expanding. If you keep trying to build ambitiously eventually you'll nail it.

Those wings...they're so...beautiful....

Can you believe this is the first MOC I've seen using that version of the Kraakhan?

Plague-Doc-Matteo In reply to Doctor-Why-Designs [2016-07-01 05:09:03 +0000 UTC]

Thank you. I'm glad you like them.

RIGHT? I think i've seen a few other MOCs use the Movie Kraakhan but considering mine was on the original version I built back in 2004, I'm surprised I haven't seen it as much. It looks so much better than the regular one I think. I'm glad its not as prevalent as it probably should be. It feels more unique being on my guy.

No problem

I got to agree with you there on that version of the Kraakhan. The original version looked like an imitation of the real thing. To be honest I think I've seen the gold Kraakhans used more than any other variant of the mask. 
I have been thinking of using the one I got in some kind of MOC, though I doubt I'd be able to make anything as epic as this.

Thanks Chester. There's probably some better wings out there somewhere. I'd say retinence has done better ones since I was inspired by some of his designs to do mine.

If I had enough money, skill, parts, time, dedication, and intelligence to make this...
I probably wouldn't make it as well.
