As the former inhabitants of the Matoran Universe begin their interactions with the native lifeforms of Spherus Magna, another journey is also about to start elsewhere on the planet, miles away from the destroyed Great Spirit Robot. A strange new Rahi (that was created moments after the late Mata Nui used the last of his power to reform the planet) approaches a strange metallic liquid, and its curiosity is piqued. As the Rahi slugs closer and moves its eyestalks downward, it detects movement, but it's not from the wind; the metallic liquid appears to be... alive? The Rahi is confused and frightened, as it now tries to "run" away from the predicament it found itself in, but it's too late. The creature is swiftly absorbed by the metallic liquid, which is known as Energized Protodermis, fatal to most who make contact with it...

...But for this little Rahi, who would come to be known as "Kaipa", this was only the beginning... of his BIONICLE.

So yeah, I caught the Bonkle Bug, and the only prescription is creating a trilogy of renders with the MOCs I made lol 😅

This was the first build I officially "completed", as the other two need some finishing touches. Tried to set everything up as if it were an official product, hope it looks the part! ^^
...Yes there are a few custom pieces shhhhh 🤫

(Disclaimer because I'm sure I have to: I don't own, nor am I officially associated with LEGO or Bionicle, this is for fun and only joek, pls no suu)
(also thanks to  PeelOut561 for helping out with designing a lower jaw for the Vahki head piece, which will appear in the next one lol)
