Turaga Files - Unboxing the Legend - Exhibit 002

Piraka teaser mixed media poster from 2005 using early concept models. Still smiling and bad to the bone. Coming straight at ya!

  1. The prototype Piraka models were some of the few instances when I wanted them over the finalized product. The prototype Makuta in 2008 were also cool in my book.

  2. Oh, I remember this image! It's on the cover of the 2nd Bionicle Legends book.

  3. I always liked the slight changes from the final models. Subtle, but something people notice. Reidak's third eye sticks out to me the most.

  4. Actually, this poster wasn't unused; it was the front cover for a BIONICLE chapter book in 2006.

  5. Yes, you are totally right. It was used on a Scholastic book later on but when I write "unused" I mean that it was not used directly in the campaign. It worked as a pitch of ideas for how the Piraka look should be and as you may remember it ended up in a more "edgy" direction with name tags and street look.

  6. The book Dark Destiny is one of my favourites mostly because this was on the front cover :)
