"Agori, you've been in danger since before Bara Magna had moons. Now do as I say."
I like Gelu. Character wise, he's what Strakk isn't: A professional. Heck the fact that he was hired by and became friends with two other Toa says something about him.
Great mod dude!
The ice sticking out of Gelu fits makes it very...elemental
Gelu’s comic appearances are great, but I can’t help but feel the character was underutilized for how cool his design was. Great video Nick!
I never read the comics he appeared in (for some reason my LEGO Club magazines stopped coming with them after The Legend Reborn was first teased) so I know pretty much nothing about his character, but have always loved his design and was genuinely bothered by his absence from The Legend Reborn.
Though given how that movie butchered Gresh’s personality and barely developed any Glatorians other than Ackar and Kiina maybe that’s a good thing.
Was interesting how Gelu was the only one of the main glatorean sets to not appear in Legend Reborn
I can't wait to see how you spiced up Mata Nui. I never had any of these except for Malum and... whatever the tiny water guy's name was, but I have a crapton of nostalgia for the movie.

That's the one. Little dimwit annoyed me just as much as he annoyed Kiina.
Honestly I appreciate the "less is more" approach you've taken with Gelu here. While I can understand the frustration of how he doesn't stand out among the other Glatorian, I think the sort of subdued design elements make sense for Gelu since he's one of the only Glatorian that we know of who retired from the arena to become a caravan guide. The design you've come up with captures that more rugged wanderer vibe, and it makes sense that it's not as flashy as Strakk or Malum because he's not a gladiator anymore, he doesn't need the flash.
"And I briefly holstered his thornax launcher to his hip when not holding it"
...So what you're saying is he has a Big Iron on his hip?
I would have never expected the use of Chima feathers for the skirt, its genius, I tip my hat to you
Why did I read "China"?
@@knuxenglish I love legends of China
Yes! My favourite Glatorian legend! Its a shame he wasn’t in the legend reborn :(
Good to know that even in an apocalyptic setting like Bara Magna there'd still be cat boys
Gelu was my favorite Glatorian. I love what you've done with him
Very Cool! His appearance thanks to you really do make him like a Snow Leopard! ACE!!!
A pretty solid mod! This one is pretty hard to change.
Those feathers for the skirt are brilliant
I noticed the king ohger mecha in the background good to know you’re a man of quality
I think gelu not looking like the other glatorian works for who he is he quit being a glatorian becoming a caravan guard
Can’t wait to see the mata nui revamp
I love this series. All my glatorian are disassembled in a big bin at my parent’s house and you’ve inspired me to go through and rebuild them in a new way! Thanks for a great series
I can't wait to see a Tuma moc made by Nick 👀
Lovely mods, makes me wish I could spare the time for moc-ing.
He's so cool!
VERY NICE
funnily enough i did use these shin armor pieces you scrapped for my take on this Gelu mod and the metrutoran chest plate as back plate, similar to the reasoning with Malum's back armir, to make it look more like back muscles. tho while i like the ski idea of the feet, i felt the pridak feet feel a little impracticle in an arena like Atero arena so i kept his original feet
Do note that Gelus doesn't really fight in the Arena. He works mainly as a caravan guard.
that is true bt also i dont see many environments where these ski shoes could be useful on bara magna @@Janoha17
This makes me oddly nostalgic because gelu was my first bionicle set (i was introduced to bionicle too late😢)
And I had referse of it. Gelu was my last G1 Bionicle set. And to this day, with Inika Matoro, those are my favorites.
With tarix teased at the end it feel like you’ve revamps all the canister 2009 sets except for certain otherworldly pet bug having traveler
People keep thinking I’ll leave Mata Nui out for some reason. No idea why.
I wasn’t thinking you were gonna leave him out I just think you’re saving them for the end
I really needed this as a palette cleanser after the bad taste in my mouth left by a certain member of the BioTube community yesterday.
Oh?
@@NickonPlanetRipple Little Brotherhood Studios dropped what I'm confident is the worst video on all of BioTube basically arguing that As Above, So Below by Cryoshell was Satanic.
@@purplehaze2358 I think the general consensus is that As Above, So Below is calling out the Great Beings.
@@Janoha17 IIRC it's actually about Teridax taking control of the Mata Nui robot and the chaos resulting therefrom, but regardless, I think anyone with a fully functioning brain can agree the take that the song is Satanic is ridiculous.
I personally think it's Gelu with the "GE" like "Geronimo", since GELU means ice cold in latin and in many latin-derived languages
As moc it self, this looks VERY cool.
As for the video, I'm kinda sad that you didn't mention anything about him lore wise
But non the less, my favorite BIO figure got an video All about him self. It could been better, but it is still fun.
Anyone else wanna see him try to recreate The Lost Makuta?
Gelu was my first male crush
Legit really love these videos! I'd love to see if you could give your personal touch to the Toa Phantoka/Mistika cause I've always had a problem with how plain they look, 1 primary colour and silver, the primary colour doesn't even match their original colours except for kopaka and onua (for obvious reasons) and they don't get a proper split with one weapon and one blaster, so they just don't feel very finished, I'd hope your creative skill could give them that
I’ve done exactly that… and regret complicating the official designs. They really are just good designs right out of the canister.
More Infamous Spider Man please.
It's wierd to not see someone say I'm first also it looks really nice
My boooyy
you should mod the Agori next
I've tried. All I did was make them worse.
Do I hear jak X song in the background?
Yes.
What, no big ice shurikens from Ninjago to replace his shoulder blades?
Of course not. They don’t match the shaping of his helmet the way these do, it’d make the design less cohesive.
@@NickonPlanetRipple Oh. Just thought about what you said back in the Ninja LEGO Rewind episode about how the VTOLs on the ShuriCopter would make great parts for an Ice Toa, looked at Gelu, and thought about how he might look with those blades.
I didn't like Gelus simply because he wasn't in the movie.
That's it xd
Yes another great moc nick you could say it’s cool
