That pincer on the tail reminds me of Predacon, who in turn is a redeco and retool of Transmetal Megatron.

Cahdok: Noooo!! Go bother my sister Gahdok, she seems more your type!

Gahdok: Sorry, you're on your own sister!

Ah the Bahrag, lots of fun squeezing the trigger and watching them chomp ^.^

Okay...lol. XD If that is actually canon, I'm seriously thinking that the story is losing its head. (If it hadn't been lost already after all the crazy stuff that's been introduced already. XD)

Anyway, excellent work in incorporating all the mechanical pieces on the dino and still keeping its organic form together; particularly with the leg muscles.
And, off course, Cahdok's mechanical accuracy is awesomely done. :3 Love the wonderful teeth they both have, perhaps one of the few similarities. XD Great work on her expression as well. X3

That all depends on weather I am being "called for" By a female of a similar species looking somewhat like human...lol

It would be the wisest thing for her to do, but... even Cahdok cannot escape the power of love!

True, I suppose the wedding would be a mile-long ceremony, after all you would Have to have all the Toa Nuva, Bohrok swarms, and Gahdok to attend. I'm just wondering what the kids would look like...

Love the markings on the dino's skin (skin? scales? whatevs). You also did a good job with making it an appropriate blend of mechanical and organic parts.

That kind of thing makes me kind of happy and kind of sad that BIONICLE's ending... on one hand, characters like the Element Lords, the half-plant folks, and the cybersaurs would be really difficult to make as sets and still have them feel like BIONICLE (while at the same time, different enough to be like they are in the story). On the other hand, it would have been cool to see how LEGO themselves planned to tackle that immense challenge.

Great job on the Bahrag, too. When I used to draw the Bahrag (this was back when I did human-styled stuff, so anything biomechanical became fully organic), I'd make them dino-like, but with beetlelike textures. That way they had the physique they had in the sets, but at the same time they were insectlike like the Bohrok. I really ought to give characters like the Bahrag another shot-- they're great designs, and it'd be nice to try something as "alien" as them instead of sticking to Toa or Rahi that strictly resemble real-world creatures.

Vrahno In reply to skybard [2010-05-23 17:19:51 +0000 UTC]

I tend to see the Bahrag as amalgamations of dinosaurs and insects myself. My first impression was, of course, that they look like Theropods but upon a closer inspection, they reminded me more of huge Bohrok (who are buglike themselves) -- short, squat bodies, a long neck that lashes out forward -- but instead of the big, flat head-plates, they have large jaws and antennae.

But definitely alien as a whole. This must be one of the reasons I like them, since I enjoy weird-looking Bionicle creatures.

3 fingers! Heresy!!!
The rest of it is excellent though. I wonder if the Great Beings designd the Bahrag after an existing species, or maybe even there are more of their kind in Bota Magna.

Aye.
I just hope they won't have them killed off now that they have to live outside of their former lair. I can see them finding a new underground cavern or even roaming in the jungles leading a smaller dinosaur group. However, I can also see Greg offing them in a simple throwaway line.

They're too bland and one dimensional characters to be rid of. They deserve love, though not the kind this cyber-reptile wants to offer.

"They deserve love, though not the kind this cyber-reptile wants to offer." Hehe.

Greg basically guaranteed he won't kill them off, but I doubt they'll have much of a role, if any.

Eh, I'm fine if they'll continue to exist. We survived all those years without seeing them anyway.

Hehe... I'd love to see actual Dinosaur MoCs. Maybe we could even have a movie scene depicting these Cyber-saurs... and the music? "The Rite of Spring". XD
All kidding aside, this is excellent. You really have a nack with dino-anatomy there.
