MOC: Copen, Toa of Different Paths

This MOC was created by About The Brick

The video doesn’t go into much detail on Toa Copen’s story in this video, however About The Brick gives us step-by-step instructions on how to build the Copen. I was surprised to see this was built around a Toa Metru torso! The shoulder pads and roborider wheel do a great job of hiding the underlying structure. I especially like how the cone brick was used to create a forearm, which in turn provides the perfect attachment point for the pneumatic t-pipe used for the hands.

If I were to offer any constructive criticism, I might have tried to find a better way to attach the shoulderpads. They do not stay on very well, as the video shows them falling off during the construction portion. I can think of a few options, although to be fair, they might impact the articulation a bit. I would also replace the bricks at the wide end of the cone with some rounded plates, since the square bricks look a touch out of place.

You can see more of About The Brick‘s work here on youtube and Instagram. Unfortunately there is not a lot of BIONICLE/CCBS content, though what they do feature in this theme is impressive. The majority of their work is system creations, stop motion, and quick builds of LEGO sets.
