Apparently I Cant Say “i Want My Bonkle Ball To Come” According To My Roommate

Hunter Sting was a hero who was equipped with an energy-draining weapon by the Doctor that could put machines into their powered-down state for easy incarsination. The power was addicting however and on one mission Hunter separated his team and took them down one by one stealing their core power. He managed to kill three of them before he was incapacitated by the team leader. This incident led the Hero Factory to look into the Doctor's other experiments where they discovered several other immoral experiments. The Doctor was banished, Hunter was incarcerated and had his core surgically removed, and the weapon was repurposed for use by mining robots to keep them charged longer. Hunter escaped several times becoming an assassin for hire going by the name "Core Hunter" known for his particular effectiveness against heroes, brutal tactics, and keeping of trophies from each kill. Eventually, he was caught again and reincarcerated until the historic mass breakout

I cant say im not a little disappointed that rox is just normal under her mask

Thornraxx revamp for hffeb! I finally remembered to participate, and just barely finished in time. Forgive me for not editing out the stand in the last two photos, I simply couldnt be bothered

Yknow whenever a fantasy character gets plopped in modern day and sees a car or buss or something they usually assume its a monster and try to slay it. but like carriages existed, and they can see that it has wheels very different to the wheels they are used to but still serving the same purpose and also they can see the people through the window who obviously aren’t panicking at all. I think they would get the idea of what the thing is used for and be amazed by it rather than immediately trying to kill it

made some bohroks for an art prompt

man, I want one of these guys.....

Fan Theory: Like Ogres and Onions, the Matoran Universe has Layers

This theory has been rattling around in my head for some time, I might make a Knowledge Tower video about it someday, but I’m not certain if its a good fit, given its more of a theory than anything where I actually do some science in it. Maybe you all can let me know if this is a good video idea in the notes?

Anyway, the crux of this theory is something to try to explain how all of this:

Actually fits into the body of the GSR.

This is a long post, so I’ll put the rest under the cut.

We already know from Greg quotes that the MU map isn’t really to scale, its more to show the rough position of the islands rather than their actual relative size compared to one another, hence why Odina is so large, and why Voya Nui seems to take up most of the southern continent despite being described as being relatively small in story.

But even using this as a guide for placement only, it still doesn’t really gel with the actual layout of the Great Spirit Robot, with everything in the torso area having to be squished up into the upper torso given the empty space in the abdomen.

This is further compounded by this image, which places the giant vortex in the endless ocean that leads to the great waterfall in the middle of the chest of the GSR, once again placing both the southern continent and Karda Nui squarely in the upper torso:

I’ve seen more than a few fan maps of the MU that try to address this problem, but all the ones that I have seen have never quite been satisfying to me, they make the southern continent especially far too small than what the storyline suggests it should be in order to get everything to fit.

But my solution, which I don’t think I’ve seen elsewhere before, came to me when I remembered that Karda Nui was in a dome that was underneath the southern continent - it was on a separate layer. And, well, Karda Nui can be on a separate layer, why not other sections of the MU as well?

That thought let me to making these maps of how I think the MU could possibly be laid out:

As you can see, from this layered approach, not only can you fit everything in nicely, but you can also keep the continents large without having to compromise to make them fit in. It even allows for additional domes that could house some of the other locations / smaller islands that are mentioned in the story that are not included in the official map. I did also play around with the size of each island compared to the offical map, given Greg already confirmed that the sizes on it were not accurate and so I could maximise the liveable land area of the MU.

I also used the fact that Greg has confirmed that ways to get into Karda Nui are via portals (with the canon one known being near the southern continent and also being where Destral moved itself to during the Karda Nui arc) to get around the issues not only of travel between layers, but also of travel between the head, torso and limbs without having to mess around with relative positions of those places moving when the robot moves its joints. The way I figure it, if the portal took up the entire sea gate tunnel width, then it could be entirely possible that the inhabitants weren’t aware they were going through a portal at all, it could just look like a regular tunnel to them, leading to the MU map from the inhabitants perspective I included here too.

I’ve tried to include as many canon compliant details into these maps as I could (e.g. connections between the torso and arms at multiple points to explain the routes taken by the Federation of Fear, room in Artakha and Xia’s domes for the islands they used to share them with before they were destroyed, the position of the pit being based both on proximity to Daxia but also on the placement of Mahri Nui in the Faber concept art above etc.), but I may have missed some details, so do let me know if you spot any.

I could also potentially use these maps in the future to work out things like total land area of the MU for the Faber and Farshtey sizes given I can determine the area a pixel represents in each, so these could be quite useful to Knowledge Tower videos in the future, but first I’d like to get some peer review on the core ideas from the wider fandom here on Tumblr.

What do you think of the maps and the idea behind them?

Bulk vs Haywire

Haywire was originally a worker in one of the energy factories until a workplace accident transformed most of his body into pure electricity. Most of his mind was destroyed as well which made him easily manipulated. An unknown villain prompted Haywire to destroy as many energy factories as possible, absorbing the energy and becoming more powerful in the process.

I tried putting some hero factory and bionicle heads on ninjago mechs i did not expect it to work this well

blank one if you want to make your own

oh yeah picture i forgor

I made a wizard staff so basically im better than everyone
