Thanks for the comment! I guess Datas is pretty prominent, huh? He'll get covered up pretty good in a few yeas though. Hopefully.
Civilian forms and weapons of the Go-Busters. I've thought about it, but really don't feel like it. I did the Gokaigers because I really liked the characters and season, but Go-Busters is kinda lacking for me. Jin and J are my favorite parts actually.
Akibarangers, yes. I'll make them sometime, just no immediate plans to do so.
Here's a new idea I came up with. Since the line shares some similarities with a Super Sentai/Power Rangers team, I thought it would be interesting to actually make them into one.
"Legend of Fire! Toa Red!"
"Legend of Water! Toa Blue!"
"Legend of Air! Toa Green!"
"Legend of Earth! Toa Yellow!"
"Legend of Flowers! Toa Pink!"
"Legend of Light! Toa Silver!"
"Bionicle Sentai! Toaranger!" (or Power Rangers! Toa Assembled!)
The coloring is is somewhat based on Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger's designs. That's why there's gold lines on their chests and silver 'cuffs' on the arms. I wanted to make the design cater to the sculpting on the actual pieces, rather than kind laid ontop. So any designs in colors follow along ridges and grooves you would find in actual pieces.
Usually I use a six-toned coloring system, sometimes even seven, but this time I went with five, the darkest being an only outline color. It kinda makes it smoother I think and looks a little more like plastic than more shades would have. However, I did have to make darker tones for indentations and shadows, most apparent on the chests.
I didn't want to use the same elements and genders from the Bionicle series. Instead, their gender and color combinations are based on Gokaiger, so red, blue, green, and silver are males while yellow and pink are females. I kinda always thought the Bionicle series was odd for having an ice and water elemental and earth and rock, so I changed that bit up too.
The masks don't mean any special powers or anything. I just made a few and decided who got what. I didn't mean to, but the girls got the Noble Kanohi masks the Turaga had while the guys got the Great Kanohi worn by the first generation Toa.
The black visors are just to make them more similar to a Super Sentai team. I kinda imagine it would just appear atop the masks and show the colors of their eyes rather than be completely opaque.
Everything here is my hard work. Please don't touch anything without permission. Thanks.
