The Buildable War Goes Elemental

The war has been raging on with different upgrades and super elements, but this time a battle rages between the elements, splits between years now weather they are good or evil they work together. The post Ultimate Elements was a preview for this post. It listed who was on which side, this post will show them all together.

So here is an overview of both sides.

This is the 2016 side with Ekimu as the leader, although the leader stays behind. Just the toa get masks on this side. Earth gets the mask of control, and Fire gets the mask of elemental energies.

This is the 2015 side, with the Lord of Skull Spiders as the leader. Here Stone is the element that doesn't get a mask. Ice will obtain the mask of creation, and Jungle will steal the golden mask of skull spiders.

Young Building

I have been building ever since I can remember. At first when I was maybe one or two I started building with Duplo, a brand of Lego that was made for babies. As I grew older I started to build with other stuff, like Tinker Toys, and Knex, but when I turned seven I got my first Lego set, and I loved it. Sometime after that, I inherited some of my brother's Lego, which to me at the time was a huge amount. I also want to share with you some pictures that were taken of some of the thing I built.

This is a swing-set I built for a couple of stuffed bears.

This is a tank made out of Knex, I made it from instructions so I was not that great at building at the time.

This is a picture of a boy playing with the tank I made(in case you couldn't guess it would be me)

This is a picture of the first two sets I received. The nine free-standing models are from a set called Mr. Magorium's Big Book. See the next picture for the set in the back.

This is a picture of me receiving my first Lego set.

Easter-The Empty Tomb

Jesus didn't stay dead for long, he rose from the dead after three days just like he, and many others hundreds of years before him, prophesied!! Anyone who believes this and trusts in Jesus as their Lord and savior can be saved from eternal death, and be given eternal life in Heaven. Jesus said "I am the way, the truth, and the life, no one can come to the Father except through me." Believing in Jesus will change your life if you are not a Christian, it may be hard, but with the help of God, and Christians around you, you can succeed. Jesus dying on the cross is the most important event in all of history along with Jesus' birth, and he did this to help us love, and so that we may be in Heaven someday. By believing that God came to save our souls, and becoming a real Christian you will become sinless in God's eyes, and although everyone will sin day-in and day-out, we must confess our sins so we may be forgiven.

This is to represent the tomb that Jesus was buried in.

Easter-The Cross

If you are a christian than you probably know what happened on Good Friday, three days before Easter. That was the day when our good lord Jesus died on a cross to save our souls. This happened around 2000 years ago, and still affects the world and millions of people to this day. But what is really interesting is the fact that 2000 years ago, being hung on a cross was the worst death a criminal could die, and Jesus was the only sinless man to ever live.

Unfortunately I couldn't do much better in the costume, but this is the best I could do. 

Look for part two "Easter-The Empty Tomb" on Easter Sunday for the follow-up story, because this is not the end.

Elemental Creatures

The elemental creatures can be fun to have, they are awsome because they are not humanoid, and although they are small they pack a lot of fun. Since they are animals you can use animal instincts and they can have interesting battles. For instance Terak has united with Tahu, an Iker is being territorial and trying to remove Terak(one thing I noticed was the fact that if you tilt the head of a toa back, than you can have the creature's head cover the face of the toa completely)

This is a side shot of Iker trying to pull off Terak, like I said before they can have animal instincts, and this instinct is territorial.

I took this picture before the other one because I couldn't get Iker's talons around Terak's shoulders, but at least it looks like Iker is succeeding more here than in the other picture. 

Here is a front shot of the first picture as you can see here the mask is Terak's face, in this kind of unity the creature kind of takes over the toa's body. 

After Iker removes Terak from Tahu, the two begin to fight over Tahu. Like I said before the creatures can be very territorial, at least if you want them to be.

Here is another view of the attack.

This is Terak by himself.

And Iker with is wings out.

Here we have the both of them resting

When I said the creatures could have any personality I meant it, here Iker is comforting Terak, they can be very sweet. 

Ultimate Elements

I took six elements, and powered them up the best I can, the elements are: Ice, the easiest of them all, except that I don't have a lot of trans light blue; Fire, another easy one, but I don't have a lot of trans bone pieces; Shadow, this one is very easy because all I need is black(and very very dark grey) for this one; Earth, now that I have the 2016 earth figures(creature, and toa), earth became rather easy, with more bone pieces than fire, and more armor pieces than ice; Jungle, with trans green bones from Umarak, and armor from the Protector of Jungle, this made out to be very cool; The last is stone, this was the hardest, because all I have for stone is the protector, and some silver, but everything seemed to work out because he looks pretty awsome. All of the Ultimate Masters have huge feet(well they are called paws, but one has a different kind of foot), and claws(if I have enough in that color).

On the 2015 side we have the ultimate master of stone

 and on the 2016 side we have the ultimate master of earth!

and in the middle for 2016 is the ultimate master of shadows

In the middle for 2015 is the ultimate master of jungle

Closest on the 2015 side is the ultimate master of ice

and for the 2016 side we have the ultimate master of fire

Here are the minions, the skull spiders are on the 2015 side and the shadow traps ore on the 2016 side.

And the bosses for both sides...

The Lord of Skull Spiders, powered up, this spider is more deadly than ever.

Ekimu gone dark, everything but his mask has gone dark, and he makes the boss for the 2016 side.

The Element of Earth

Ever since I got Onua-Uniter of Earth, and Terak-Creature of Earth, I can do so much with the element of earth. Here is a few things that I did with that element.

This first one features a guy I made a while back, who is in the Fire and Ice post. So here I am showing that I made Onua in the same fashion as I made Tahu, and here they are showing off their new weapons to each other. 

Now here is a better look at Onua. His left side has the element of jungle, while his right side has earth.

Ever since I wanted to get the creature of earth, I thought that it would be a great opportunity to make an ice/earth character. Although his left side looks more like Halloween, he has almost the same amount of trans purple as trans light blue!! That in itself is amazing because(for all of you who don't play with LEGO) trans purple is an extremely rare color, and I thought having two bone pieces was cool last year.

At one point I realized that Terak can be very dramatic, so I decided to make a drama scene here. The story is that 2016 Onua is threatening to kill 2015 Onua if Terak wont do something, and Terak is telling 2016 Onua that he will do whatever 2016 Onua wants, as long as 2015 Onua is spared. I like to call this The Drama Team of Earth.

Changes to the Fortress

As I said in my last post on the castle, I wasn't finished, so here is a more detailed version of the fortress.

This is the first look, and you can see a lot of changes like the flags, the arch, satellite dish, and stone lions are just the start.

This is the outside notice all of the plants, that is basically what I changed here.

Here the changes are: the satellite dish with equipment to control the missiles and rockets, water pool, the flick missiles and rockets.  

The next thing that I changed is the armory, now full of dangerous weapons to defend the fortress. Right next to that is pieces of armor-see New Armor for more details on that.

The last change I want to show is this waterfall and Chi pool. There isn't a lot to say, but I really like the extra detail that I put into this part.

The Fire-Ice Beast

In my Fire and Ice post I had a picture of a character with every animal-like features on him, now I going to show you basically the same guy, but he has become a little more symmetrical.

This is before I had Iker, Creature of Fire, so I was missing the wings.

This pose is semi-close to the original, except here you can see everything, all of the arms, and the tail, that you couldn't see in the other picture.

Here you can see the wings a little better.

After taking the horns off I accidentally slid Iker's head completely over Tahu's mask, and realized that I could give this character a bird's head. So this is the Fire-ice Beast with the head of a bird. 

Super Style

I realized that I could make characters with complete gold, silver, black, and one that would contain all of the elements.

This is the all black, complete withe the black cape, and armor.

This is the all silver, this all of these except the gold guy have their bones in the same color.

One requirement for all of these characters is they all have to have their, hands, feet, and mask the same color as all of their armor. So here I had to resort to the big paws for hands.

He has all of the elements, which is fitting since he is wearing the mask of elemental energies. He has all of the elemental colors(ice, fire, stone, water, earth, and jungle), and he has all of the different shells for the elements.

New Armor

With a new base, weapons and defenses, the legendary figures need some armor to go with it.

Gingerbread Man has the lesser upgrade than the rest, but when you think about it, he's better at cooking than fighting. I also upgraded his weapon too.

Frankenstein's armor has wings, and his weapon has the biggest change, he now has a scythe instead of his spray-gun. 

Mad Scientist has a special armor piece that he made himself, along with chainsaws to his sides. He also upgraded his gun for an electronic crossbow.

Here as you can see this suit upgrade gives Trevor a scorpion tail. the reason I used this one is because it goes so good with the hat. 

The suit itself changed adding some gold, purple, and a transparent arm. 

Those are all of the suit changes, tell me if there is anything that I should do differently.
