Bionicle: Shadow Takanuva build review. Toa of Light, or Toa of Darkness? 

These are so cool! Perhaps you should try doing the Toa Metru in their Turaga color schemes, or the Inika in their Mctoran color schemes

the melding universe approves

You should’ve given Light Makuta a copy of Turaga Nuju’s head, since the original Makuta uses a trans medium blue eye/brain piece, which Nuju also uses with a white head attached

Awesome build, glad you got around to Shadow Takanuva. I wonder what the Shadow Takanuva and Light Makuta combination would look in comparison to the OG?

if your using gunmetal for takanuva, you could probably use the 2008 avohkii since I believe that one is gunmetal.

I love your dedication to these alternate builds, as well as your willingness to experiment with dyes! The infected Hau on the Shadow Ussanui is a beautiful touch that speaks to your enthusiasm. I did NOT expect to see Light Teridax; what an amazing surprise!

You've gone too far whats next, shadow titan mata nui???

Just realized that Shadow Toa are canon, i believe in one of the stories a Makuta was kidnapping Takunuva's from different realities to create a Shadow Toa army.

May be my fanfic brain here, but I imagine this Shadow Takanuva being the only Shadow Towa to go through a character arc. Being unable to fight the inherent purity of the power of light he is copied from, switching sides and betraying his creator.

I love the use of the Skrall blades

I love this recolor, the use of the Skrall blades is quite clever, thanks for sharing great ideas 😁

I imagine the Shadow asa-nui sounding loud as hell. Like those jackasses who do everything they can to make their motorbikes as noisy as humanly possible and drive through neighbourhoods at 11pm

7:22 - 2003-style Melding Teridax

I’d love to see light Makuta with more gold but hey still looks good. Still remember when I first saw the OG makuta in Walmart. I had cash in hand and my parents made me wait till Christmas. Best bionicle ever. Dude was solid as a rock.

I personally would have used the large black Brutaka blades that came with the snowmobile Glatorian set, and Hero Factory Rotor. Those would look so sinister as the landing gear and staff for Shadow Takanuva.

The gold and black looks like some evil general leading makuta's armies. I love it

What I don’t get is why did they give makuta silver takanuva masks instead of gun metal versions. It would have matched the rest of the armor and allowed us to get a gun metal version of takanuva

I like the gunmetal armor. If you use Makutas mask it pretty much becomes a Toa Makuta (Teridax?)

I like to imagine in an alternate timeline the good Makuta created the Raksei as an attempt to have something to fight back against the toa and show the matoran there being manipulated by the toa and teraga. But the raksei ended up going feral and thus it only made things worse.

Could you do other color sweaps of Makuta using the Rakshi shells?

absolutely breathtaking. but ja seeing a shadow bohrok series would be pretty dope too and doable with all the nuhvok-kal pieces

I want to know if light teradax is just makuta redeemed imagine the crossover potential with light teradax showing up to protect the main timeline Toa from shadow takanuva who showed up at the same time though a different portal, there's just so much story potential with this

Shadow INIKA please

You know the dark skylanders this is what they remind me of

Tridax's Shadow Takanuva army approves

I love your videos man! These are easily my favorite sets, love what you did here. I almost have shadow Kopaka done, just missing a large gear and his shield. And I can't wait for the shiny Toa video! I know that one's gonna be great.

I feel like he would make a good makuta body, other than a clone

a while back, I made a cursed white axonn and red brutaka

You could continue the series by making all the enemies into good versions Or make some shadow Turaga and Matoran

Stars takanuva scares me more than this version

Fantastic to see another entry into the Shadow Toa series! The red accents on the Ussanui work really well here and I love how your videos have a recurring trend of ending with a recolored titan. I'm curious to see if the burnt orange air katanas or blue-pin axles can be dyed black using this technique too. Will definitely be trying it out! Keep up the great content

The Melding Teridax!

Idea: shadow turaga

“My greatest creation after being made from a Bohrok Corpse,Dark Takanuva!”-Teridax.

looks awesome. When i was a kid i made sidorak all silver and he looked really good. would be a good one for you to try

Shadow toa metru

Hey, how effective is dye with hot water? I want to dye some joint pieces to replace the original ones of hydraxon and mantax

An idea for a colours swap group could be the alternate versions of the Toa Metru from Time Trap (where the matoran the helped the toa metru became toa instead), not much new pieces needed aside from figuring out their masks and swapping up the small differences between how each one is built

this is pretty good! one thing, i think having the bike and takanuva himself in the same colors makes them kinda blend together when he's riding the bike. i think giving takanuva some bits of silver or red armor along his limbs would help that. i think maybe trans orange hands could help? as seen in the stars rhakshi. and maybe something different with the feet, though i'm not sure what

If you used the gunmetal armor for shadow takanuva use the mask from the titan takanuva

😮so sick

Kohrak Kal hands come in dark orange in an old Star Wars set of the millennium falcon set, you might be able to dye those black… if you can find them…

You can also use the silver Takanuva mask from his Stars version that was released in 2010.

Might i suggest using the normal gold mask of light with the gunmetal armor?

😂 I always dreaming to get one shadow takanuva and one light makuta 😅😂

It's a cool idea that there is this alternative universe, where Makuta is a good one and Takanuva the evil one.

Now hear me out: Light Mata! As in The Toa Mata and Toa Nuva as Toa of Light.

You should try the combiner model of the 2 using only the pieces here

If you have the parts, maybe do six versions of the toa team in each of teh six toas' colors

You should try make the shadow toa metru (you could dye the masks black)

Wait that mean's light taradax mode thank's to Takanuva

Metru?

The light Makuta is ridiculously cool by the way

I have the original set that i got as a kid but woild 100% buy this in an instant

7:22 looks like makuta repented after dieing 3 times

7:53 Time traveler: *moves a chair*

Light Makuta goes really hard for no reason

Can you make light rakshi to go with macuta

Bionicle shattered glass

I would have used gun mental armor and the gun metal avokhi for Takanuva. You could tie it together using gun metal for the Rakshi shells on the vehicle as well... But perhaps it would be one too many colors, with the silver in there. The skrall blade didn't worked on Takanuva at all. Specially if you look at him without the vehicle. The red just stand out too much. It could work if you added some red ascents on him as well thou... PS: You should have used DARK RED for the shadow toa eyes instead of Pohatu's orange.

can you do the town elders or what ever they were called

Great work as usual man. By any chance is there a white dye as well for the gray and black parts of Teridax?

I think the purple parts are extremely rare

bionicle: WHAT IF?

The glitter avokhii could work for if you went with gunmetal armor

Shadow TOA metru

Takanuva toa of twilight

Man I made a comment here hours ago and it seems that RU-vid deleted it? Ah I'll make this one short then, the Takanuva Moc looks really well done! The red pops super well! I made a comment on the Shadow Toa Nuva video that I was making my own Voriki which is currently pretty much almost done, I came to the realization thanks to this vid and due to shapeways being too expensive that I might be better off dyeing torso and feet pieces into purple instead of 3d Printing them and I found the dye you use in purple, based on your experience would you recommend a white Kopaka or a black Onua as the base pieces for a color close to the Onepu coloring?

That skrall sword was slick

alright, i kinda wanna vote that the light makuta be, instead of teridax, be a restored Krika, since i BELIEVE he was one of like...two Makuta who didnt want to betray Mata Nui

Since this is sort of about Takuanuva in 08, Will you make the video on the canonical Unadapted forms of the adaptive armor Toa Nuva (i.e. the Toa Nuva in thier 08 colors)? Will It be a few videos from now, when you later cover 08 or never?

This is so DOPE!!!!

Nu Gundam approves.

Maybe palette swaps to turn the Toa into different elements? Berix' blue fire sword could make a Water Tahu, for example.

Everything looked fantastic

Another awesome job, excellent video man ^^ Do you like Slizers/Throwbots? Those can be color swapped too. And if it is possible, reverse colors. So the red and orange swapped on a Toa

Silver

I kinda wanna see what full light and full shadow takutanuva would look like

Video idea: all toa nuva as toa of light. 👀👀👀

Siver

I honestly never thought of giving a Shadow Takanuva a shadow Ussanui. Love the use of black and red coloration though, as it harkens back to the 2003 Makuta Titan set

Love that Ussanui!

Great colour choices!

The bike looks awesome!

These recolour / remake videos are my favourite!

this works really well, and now I for some reason want to make a pink roodaka

wonder how the inverted Takutanuva would look now

looks damn cool, I'm still searching for my Takanuva and the shiny Mask, the Light Makuta looks great too and could work as the version from another universe

I wonder how the gunmetal Avohkii from the '08 titan set would look with the armor, or if it would even fit

That was quite a clever one.

Just one possible change that would work well with the gunmetal armor, you could use the altered Avohkii from the Karda Nui version of Takanuva.

Blackanuva?

You could have used an Exo force Blade Titan blade for the spear

This is really weird as I watched both of the videos yesterday

Aaw little baby matoran Makuta on the usanui! 😂

All the versions look really great. I know the idea is to use all official parts, but i think it'd be cool to look into resin 3D printing a mask in black. I've been printing a lot of masks recently and I really love the results and how legit you can get them to look when you put in the effort.

Maybe continue with the shadow toa, but got with the 2004 line and maybe try to make the what would have been the sets of the Toa Hagah. There is only 2 sets from them as Toa and Toa Hugah were the Rahaga from 2005 lines. Iruini and Norik did get sets, I had Iruini as I couldn't get the two in one set as a kid. If I could get the money, I would love to get set set, maybe a few dozen Vahki, Visoark, and Bohrok and a a few of each rahi sets. Of course I would get one or two of the sets with combiners and the pieces to make some of the Dark Hunters and the varying Makuta.

!emosewa saw sihT

Honestly if you use the gun metal for armor and somehow dyed the mask red that would look pretty cool
