MOC: Green Demon Bike

This is a creation by BIONFACT6464

BIONFACT6464‘s Green Demon Bike appears to have been made with the remains of “Lerahk the Poisoner”. When the toa defeated the rahkshi, their parts were put to use building the Ussanui, so I could easily imagine them building a set of motorcycles instead. Even if wheels are taboo in the cannon story, it would have been a fun sight to see the toa circling Teridax in his lair with color coordinated motorbikes.

I like the profile and impression the design gives me. I’m sure there is a better comparison to make, but in my lack of knowledge on brands, it most reminds me of Kawasaki Ninja motorbikes. The large black shells on the front tire, and the bright green parts give it a nice streamlined look. The two real wheels look cool, on top of allowing it to keep balance during play. It might not be “realistic”, though I like the idea of giving a toy motorcycle a push and watching it roll along the ground without having to hold it upright the whole time.

As for suggesting some improvements, I’m not sure I like the large gray parts on the side. I understand why they are there, to help create the impression of a motorcycle frame and mesh the gray from the engine in a little better. I think they make it a little too wide and take away from the streamlined look. I would try to move them so they peeked out from under and behind the large black shells. It could maybe use something curving up a bit to represent a seat, since I have a hard time imagining how the figure sits without sliding back onto the rear tires.

You can see more of BIONFACT’s creations here on youtube. Most of their MOCs are characters between Toa and Titan size, with bulky designs that sometimes remind me of the live-action Transformers characters.
