Archive Attack [Brickonicle Concept]

This is one of many model I built as a set concept for the Brickonicle (Bionicle G3) Project, which was started by the TTV Channel.
This new set has 1169 pieces including the 4 masks, which I painted on the images to show how the set would look like.
The set includes the Archive-temple, an Archive-Mole, an Artakha Mantis and six minifigures. The minifigures are Onua, Kopaka, Lerahk, Vorahk
The design of the temple is inspired by these pieces of artwork by Oomatu.

The Archive-Temple:
The Archive, as the name implies is full of artifacts, creatures and is decorated with carvings. It hides a lot of G1 references and is supposed to be an ancient temple, that keeps secrets of long forgotten times.
The back of the temple is a rather flat wall, but this is necessary to allow the temple to flip open. By detaching the stairs, the temple can be opened to grant access to the interior. The plants on the roof can be detached as well. That way the Archive can be connected with many of my other sets in creative ways. On the ground level of the Archive there are Rahi-stasis containers and a certain powerful spear! It also has doors, that can slide open. The second floor can be reached with a ladder and has trophies, armor discs and a weapon collection.

The Rahi:
The Archive-Mole is inspired by the G1 combination model and has a posable head and posable legs.
The Artakha Mantis is inspired by the G1 Metru Mantis. It can be held captive inside the Archive-Temple.

The Minifigures:
My Toa and Rahkshi are unchanged from my previous versions. For Onua I had to do some image-manipulation, because LDD still has not all pieces for Axl-figs. (That’s why he has the same pose in the first image as in my Vorahks Devourer set)
For this set I designed two new Matoran, who are supposed to be the keepers of the Archive. Additionally I made a render with the mid-sized legs, which i think look way better.
