It is pretty awesome.

A lot of the 2001 pieces have names like that, I recommend looking at the Brickset listings for a trip down concept lane. : D

While he build the Journey to One Makuta right? I think the Overlord Makuta was built by John alone.

Oh wow, would not have guess that. Thank you very much for sharing, been driving me nuts trying to get the arms right hahaha. I look forward to the pics of the Overlord Makuta!

Thanks for linking that reply, I’m sorry for not giving a proper introduction in this thread.

I did indeed work on the JtO Makuta, together with Brickthing and Vezok’s Friend.

I was not officially on the BIONICLE team, neither were the other 2, just designers from different themes that are big fans of the theme who jumped in to design this combiner.

John (BIONICLE designer at the time) made the Overlord Makuta and sits not too far from my desk.

For the last year, I worked for Mindstorms, I recently switched to a new project I cannot talk about.

Could you say what piece is on Triple M’s back? I’ve stared at what few images we have, and all I can tell is it’s gold.

Any update on the photos? It’s been a week. No rush, just checking in.

It’s only fair, I sent the pictures to be approved and sent to Dorek early last week, it seems to be taking a little longer this time. Sorry about that.

I second Metroidwave’s request, any incite on the gold piece on the back of “Triple M” would be greatly appreciated.

I think it was a 3M shell in gold, I’ll have to check.

Also, the pictures got approved, so hopefully you will see them soon!
