Bionicle Inspiration Series Ep 127 Frames

If you thought this episode was all about frames for sunglasses, or people being framed for murder, think again! Let's take a look at structural designs for Bionicle MOCs

I'll be honest. When first clicked this vid, I thought I might use some of these frames. But while watching this, I thought up some other possible frames I could try.

[MCLegoboy]

Just as a reminder for everyone: If anyone does full on copy a design, it is not wrong, but if you do, maybe give some credit. There is a difference between using a piece of one design and copying the skeleton of a MOC. People "steal" ideas all the time when it comes to little techniques, but when you copy a full portion of someone else's build, show some humility.

[TheTrueEcho]

I honestly wish Lego just released a persistent constraction line with no other theme than "here's a bunch of parts and they can be used to make this shape, but this is basically just a parts pack"
It'd avoid the "yearly wave" obligation by virtue of just having no theme beyond just providing parts, which I think Lego should honestly do with not just CCBS but the bricks and technic as well.

It would make it so much less of a hassle to just jump into building when the actual parts are readily accessible on store shelves, with the themed sets still having a niche as they would get more unique and exclusive parts.

This just ended up in my recommended with zero context, but I love it.

i have now reached BionicleTube and i am absolutely here for it! dope that the first BionicleTuber i've found is a fellow Aussie

[gitgud]

I knew frames existed, but never knew how to make them. After seeing this video, I now know how to build Bignicle/ frames in general! Thanks for the info!

[thelightninglynxlynx]

I've really been needing a video like this! thanks!

This has reinforced (ironic) an important lesson I've been trying to remember while I start making more complicated mocs as an AFOL - a frame is structurally necessary as scale increases! We can see that in so many large bionicle and system official sets, and I'm trying to incorporate that engineering knowledge into my creative lego side!

Jeez... Haven't been here for a while and, ep 127! Keep up the good work

[lese]

Oh yeah, Bionicle videos in 2019 is truly the way to happiness

[Adoptimuscribble]

this episode really helped me, just yesterday i didnt feel like i could put technic pieces in my bionicle mocs, but ater this im already making a new type of bionicle frame that involves alot of technic

[thenighthowler]

Hey Ben, thanks so much for introducing us to the bignicle frame, I've started building my next MOC using the frame!

[I_Am_Vratislav]

Thanks a lot for all the work you put into these and the stuff you've shown us. Truly inspiring thanks a lot.

[omegadragoon]

I use frames very often when it comes to designing a creature. It helps give me an idea of the anatomy for the overall build.

[NotDoneIsNub]

the double joint, double arm, cylinder frame helped me make my mocs upper legs! thank you for making this video

>Be me
>Seven, in 2008 youtube
>See bionicle I like
>Can’t find instructions (no one bothered to at this time)
>spent time studying how the moc looked, listing what pieces what I have
>beg parents for certain bionicles at the time that had the parts I was looking for
>years later found my moc I was imitating, decided to finish it
>Tfw youtube copyright striked the video for using ThreeDaysGrace/BreakingBenjamin/LinkinPark/Evanscene, so now I cant finish it because I have no idea what the original one looked like...

>Now I have a good frame and design to steal cos no one knows it was from

Good times...

You didn't even really need to be a 'salesman' in order to convince me to consider using a bignicle frame. I thought I'd make something using that design the moment I saw it in Wombat's last video.

[apotatoguylikesdogs]

You don’t get a triple double
You just get a double double

[Scarachus]

These frames really allow some absolutely badass designs to be created

I love the hero factory and bionicle construction system cause it's so simple and modifiable
I mean I built a 3 transformers
