UPDATE:
1) I've been saying it wrong this whole time. It's actually PTFE, not PFTE.
2) PTFE/Teflon is actually very stable and safe!
It's even less toxic than, say, the microplastics we ingest daily. Its toxicity only arises when it's broken down; this only occurring at high temperatures (generally above 500 degrees fahrenheit) and during some sliding conditions.
from Lalam:
"PFPE and PTFE are the most common fluorinated lubricants, and are generally regarded as some of the safest lubricants. They are used in the aerospace industry for their remarkable stability, but this stability comes at a cost. When broken down, fluorine can bond with other atoms and molecules to create particularly harmful substances. While PFPE and PTFE are stable against UV and oxygen, under tribological forces, the polymer chains can sever. PFPE, in particular, has been shown to develop a lewis acid (with iron) under very extreme tribological conditions, according to NASA. I'm not aware of any studies showing reactions under ambient tribological conditions, but polymer liquids and solids can still undergo chain scission under very mundane circumstances. This can include within a plastic joint. I'm aware that, while repeatedly and vigorously moving a POM part on another POM part back and forth, with PTFE powder coating it, that at some point it stick slips and eats away at the plastic. This at a significantly higher rate than unlubricated POM on POM parts. I don't know what is being generated in these conditions, but it appears to be short lived, and I don't believe this would happen under normal use."
Yapping
Can you make a parts list?
your rant about lego's current buildable figures feels deeply validating as someone whose made this complaint only to be met with a "yeah you've talked about this before" and nothing more from people who have no clue what i'm talking about.
Mootroid: "This year, I lost my dear friend Eljay!"
Eljay: "Quit telling everyone I'm dead!"
Mootroid: "Sometimes I can still hear his voice!" 😭
Man rip Eljay he will be remembered 😢
Rip Mangosteen guy.
Ah yes, Eljay. The Linus Tech Tips of the Bionicle Community. He will be greatly missed, RIP.
"Time to do what Tahu always wanted to, and take an intimate look at Kopaka's tlts"
"Now grab a 2 by 4 downward bracket. Uh, there's some red gunk on this one too."
Seems like Tahu did take a good look in there, and he left some evidence behind.
ah dammit i meant 2x2 bracket :(
"We collect toys, not investments"
So based... so peak
42:48 _"So now put his back back on his back"_
This is why English is my favorite language 😂
1:58
I want it known that recording this mech required me to put a mobile phone tripod on my face like a headcrab and trying to get even these shots was agonising
that punch was with the rage of someone who had to do that recording 5 times over
What an incredible video, I'm always so impressed with your pacing and the consistently quality jokes that had me laughing the entire time. Not only that, but the actual builds of these Mata revamps are amazing! They honor the original aesthetics and scale almost 1:1, and the poses you can get them in are so expressive and dynamic. They seem so sturdy too, which is generally my biggest issue with a lot of Mata revamps. Fantastic work as always Charlie!
you are so kind. thank you so much for validating my efforts.
That eagle scream left me deaf and blind
I like the casual police disrespect
the vahki must be abolished
@@mootroidXproductions #AVAB (All Vahki are Bionicles)
Some people watch this for methods to have highly articulate Toa Mata. Meanwhile I watch it for the hilarious context.
This video is a banger. Wish I had the pieces on hand to try this build but I’m here for articulated builds for animation purposes😁🤘 Congrats dude!
5:14 oh that's gore. That's gore of my comfort character
Fantastic video and fantastic builds
I don't even have any Bionicle. But I love watching your videos.
Oh yeah, and BRING THE BIONICLE AND CCBS PIECES TO PICK A BRICK!
END THE FINITE OF BIONICLE PARTS!
Pretty hard to do that if the parts aren't made anymore and the molds have been destroyed.
@@legorocketraccoon8297 We're talking about the company who literally made the parts.
It's like asking Coca-Cola why there is no Cola anymore "Sadly production of the Coca-Cola beverage has stopped" - "My guy, YOU'RE the production"
Even If the molds are destroyed, Lego can make new ones with improvements to reduce parts breaking.
"But making a new mold costs a lot of money!" - Lego isn't a small company, and they're already cutting many corners, especially with the display sets.
Lego could incrementally add the molds to pick a brick and set a high selling price to get the money back for the mold.
I don't know how it looks like with the copyright, but I hope independent companies legally take a stab at making bionicle parts.
Im going to sneak into your basement and steal all your bionicles
No bionicle tutorial is complete without a healthy amount of existential dread
13:28 is probably my favorite sentence ever
I was not expecting a Tahu X Kopaka ship going into this, but I will unironically give a read to anyone who writes a fanfic about that.
RIP Eljay
Lego does actually make red studpins now, they're listed separately as they have added friction. The frictionless ones have also appeared in white.
Also no Roodaka's species does not have dimorphism, the one guy they made green in the comic isn't even really green
ty for the shoutout at 2:25 lol I really would like to see them come out in some way but idk how the hell I'd even give something like that to anyone
fucking RIP eljay lol
your designs are the greatest and i think about them at least once a week
THIS PELVIS IS FIRE🗣️🗣️📢📢❗❗❗
The world would be a significantly better place overall if LEGO released 1L and 2L stud axles.
Same with 1L pin with a stud end.
Man...Matau is so cool for permanently unaliving that cop.
Legends of Metru Mui is definitely my favorite movie.
I think I had the most fun with the Toa Inika and my favorite Toa designs has to be hands down the G2 CCBS Toa.
Never did I think I would come across a video with a tutorial for some of the best mata Mocs with fun comedy, robot shipping, casual comments about political issues, with Leon simping, and insane gaslighting.
Legitimate peak content.
*puts an axle in a hole* everything reminds me of him...
I love this video
All the comedy makes it so much more enjoyable to watch compared to other people's videos
And the time it probably took to film this too
We learning the secret articulation tech with this one!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🗣️🗣️🗣️
I skew towards 'bar' for mata, but ofc I've said it both ways before
I think Kopaka *does* live in Tahu's head rent free, but Kopaka himself is just a Genuine Hater, since he judges literally everyone, up to and including Gali and Pohatu.
Nice on the raw footage. I appreciate your efforts, and do not take the amount of work that went into this video lightly
You gotta respect the Toa Metru for abolishing the police both during their stay on the Isle of Mata-Nui, and upon their return to Metru-Nui one thousand years later
Maybe the real Eljay was the friends we made along the way.
Excellent video, I really love your presentation, as always, and I look forward to aping the frame for personal use at some point in the semi-near future!
Can't believe MootroidX got killed by the Krahka
honestly she was cool as hell and i wish she’d lived
@@mootroidXproductions She did! Krahka and Tahtorak are sucked into the field of shadows whilst fighting the Zivon, but emerge on Voya-Nui a thousand years later, after Brutaka opens a dimensional gateway with the intention of sending Axonn to that accursed place
He fails, but after the two combatants are gone, and the portal remains, Tahtorak and Krahka emerge from it. Then they fight Kardas for a bit.
Eventually she makes her way back to her old den in Metru-Nui, and she cameos in Takanuva's Blog during the Reign of Shadows portion of the serial
@@ChoRyuKaMi35 OMG I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
does that happen in the legends books or an online serial or what
@@mootroidXproductions The pair reappear near the end of Legends 5: Inferno, after Axonn and Brutaka's last major battle in that book
Krahka makes her way back to Metru-Nui offscreen, but has the aformentioned cameo in Metru-Nui in the Takanuva's Blog serial, during it's 09 run
Lego pls hire this person and restore the BIONICLE's glory 🙏
manifesting this
I am never letting go of the phrase "With error, comes clarity" until the day I die.
eljay lore???????
Mat Pat, we call upon you!!!
Lalam24 is the same dude who inspired me to make my own!
The ending. seeing you meeting his twin. super cool.
3:29 Lewa swings his axe
**cartoon sounds intensify**
I've waited this video for SO LONG
Our prideful elite put their life's on the line every day for the citizens of Metru nui and this is the thanks they get? smh, absolutely disgusting. #Vahkilivesmatter #TuragaDume2024
random notes I think of as I watch because my impulse to nitpick is too strong I should probably add timestamps but I'm lazy
-The axle-mixel joint connector actually exists in dark tan (albeit only in one H^rry P^tter set, but you can get them from pick a brick. Also they came out in black in a technic set from 30 years ago.) LEGO is generally more eager to recolor the mixel/towballs, it's just the sockets that they're stingy about.
-While I do like them aesthetically as well I'm pretty sure the pins on pohatu's legs are just there to facilitate the combiner model
-The brown parts didn't fade with age, LEGO actually replaced their main brown color entirely at some point in the 2000s.
-you mixed old and new greys on onua's legs and for that I'm going to have to steal your kneecaps
-oh also all vortixx look the same as roodaka regardless of gender
I pronounce the first “A” in “Mata” like the “A” in “bar”
you’re WRONG
>”this is Teflon powder. I’m pretty sure it’s nontoxic.”
UHHHHH
> *ten seconds later* “so this stuff is definitely toxic and it says do not touch it to your skin”
At least you properly warned us.
I also very appreciate that the eagle sound (and the ass) is so loud that it actually simulates my hearing returning from a flashbang by ramping the audio back up to full volume after a few seconds.
Seriously though, this is a wonderful video. I love your editing style and getting a 45 minute video is a treat that I will not take for granted.
ok i talked to my chemistry buddy and it’s only toxic if it is heated to like 500f and otherwise it is very stable.
@@mootroidXproductions thank goodness. Someone came into my hardware store job a few years ago asking what type of sandpaper they would need to sand the Teflon out of their cooking pan. I landed on “don’t do that” because I had it in my mind that particlizing Teflon would put it in the guys lungs and that would be Bad.
Also need to heap on praise for the continued mindfulness of the current climate in the real world and how fiction reflects on those realities instead of hides from them, and also for what I would consider peak filmmaking in the last 40 seconds of the video. The timing, the perfect cuts between you and a ghost, the cliffhanger ending, the knowledge you didn’t wear pants to the door, I tried to do stuff like that all four years of film school and didn’t even come close.
@@ActionJacksonVideos holy heck that means so much
i put a lot of effort into editing what amounts to a few dozen takes shot on an ancient iphone
YOU MADMAN! YOU HAVE DONE MATA NUI'S WORK (mine mostly cuz I asked in a previous video, srsly, thank you so much) 🔥 💧 🧊 🪨 🍃 🌍
OG's remember the maskposting leg meme
Another classic from my close, personal friend, ruclips.net/user/mootroidxproductions!
I’m the 420th like and that somehow feels both deeply wrong and strangely fitting. Excellent tutorial btw, very clear and concise without ever feeling clinical. You should be proud!
Everything in this is just so great, builds is so neat and everything else too !
Since you use mega parts, let me mention you can buy parts from Mattel through their customer support service, the form has an option for “missing pieces” where you can just say it’s a set that included that part and buy the piece as a replacement
i like your flower pants
thank you i found them in the women’s section of goodwill
13:24 I was not ready for this three-pronged assault 😂😂😂☠️☠️☠️☠️
Edit: 38:38 ....did you just call me a transformer???
R I p eljay 😢
honestly. amazing video!
This is my current favorite video of all time
Sex joke so funny Someone thought I was crying
perfect for stop motion! Great ideas! Thanks.
This is a good moc ngl
Great video, it just sucks that Eljay's dead.
Eljay cameo, always appreciated.
I'm of the opinion that 2001 was actually the weakest of the Bionicle lines in terms of raw set quality.
Thank you for replying to me about this. These are lovely
I'm a bit late to the party, but this video is great. Shows some great building techniques and tricks but it doesn't end up being boring at any point in spite of its length because it is frequently spiced up with humourous bits (also known as jokes idk why i wrote such a long paragraph just to say "haha it funny").
8:23
Did Eljay really pass away??
yes but he was kind enough to appear in this video anyway
Please PLEASE post your moc portfolio somewhere, these are the best revamps I've ever seen
i have a backlog on my instagram, but i don't have a dedicated profile for it or anything. maybe i should do that.
@mootroidXproductions don't have insta but yeah a dedicated moc page would be epic
Everything I’ve been wanting in one place: a tutorial on the Toa Mata, but better
ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE SINCE THAT MASKPOSTING INCIDENT WAS MENTIONED sheesh. Legs, man
Why does the audio always quiet down, only to fade back in whenever there's an eagle screech in this?
Duckbricks gotta review these builds
As someone who tried to remake these guys (and got pretty close) from just screenshots, I KNEW you had to have cut some parts! I wasn't crazy!!
I felt like I knew what I was getting myself into after the first build tutorial... then I got to the end of this one and I don't know what to feel...
10/10 real cool stuff, cant wait to build my goat potato
really grateful you uploaded this before I tried to reverse engineer the builds from still frames of your other videos
I hope they bring back mask collecting in G3 but they do it in a way that also brings back matoran, where you get one of 6 matoran (no mask, one of each element) and 2 masks, one of which can go to the matoran or both can go to your mask collection
39:40 GUHHHH????????????????????????HELPP LMAO
I completely agree that toys should be played with, no matter the franchise or company. If you’re not going to play with the toy, why buy it in the first place? I’m a huge fan of Bionicle and My Little Pony, I have a little fanatic about a Matoran who fell through a portal and ended up on the pony planet.
rewatching this in honor of pridemonth
✊
Maybe Hot-Take: Mata Revamps are too overdone, to the point of driving some people to actively dislike that Era of Bionicle (I'm getting close to that myself)
i have plenty more but these are the most requested
I fricking hate when people take away Pohatus thiccnes! Hes supposed to be a cute femboy (he just like me fr) so instead of going against it embrace it and youre a real one for doing so! :3
For a minute I genuinely thought Eljay was dead lol
I'm so confused.
Never thought I would see the day where I can make these wonderful creations without needing to make mirco transactions and possibly getting a virus.
All jokes aside your builds are fantastic 👏
I know that leg drama I'm in that Facebook group
HHEESS ALIVE
We will always remember you Eljay
Eljay is watching but from his room
WOOOOO! I can finally make Onua do flexing poses!
This was an entirely hilarious and ultra based rant-tutorial-ytp 😂
Saying “Leave politics out of Bionicle!!!” Is like saying “keep politics out of metal gear solid” you can’t
Cool slug you got!
I was so sad when I heard about Eljay’s death. Hearing that he slipped on banana peel and cracked his head open, really struck me deep. Rest In Peace, King
poor guy is banana peel bones 😔
I pronounce mata like the a in bar also these builds are absolutely awesome when I get the pieces I am going to build these!😊
I was so on board up until you said modified and bootlegged. My purist heart does a cry! ;_: LOL
it's 100% possible to build them while maintaining purism!!
@@mootroidXproductions Then why the cut axles?
@@Matteo_the_Plague_Doctor for aesthetic!
@@mootroidXproductions Fair enough. :D
Hey is Eljsy actually dead
*Eljay
😂
I wonder what if you build the toa nuva in this style
i might! that would be sweet!
Gali is my favorite and first figure.
🌊
How might one obtain these Zero Clearance Brackets? Is there a website for purchasing individual Mega Blok parts?
unfortunately no. but lots of mega sets have them. i recommend checking the instructions online
@@mootroidXproductions Thanks for the info!
38:29 people STILL get this wrong and it drives me mad. thank you for your factual information about GRS in this bionicle video
Can I get everything on bricklink? Because I just want like 1 Tahu. Minus the bootleg and modified pieces of course.
But damn that's a lot of pieces to remember.
yes, you can!
RIP Eljay, but loved the video
