(...) An absolutely amazing model! This is the kind of stuff I read the news group for. I didn't get the 'Adjustable Stick' part though - why it's needed and how it's implemented. Can anyone explain that part in more detail? Thanks, David (23 years ago, 20-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

I guess this is the debut of my Bionicle Brickshelf gallery.(URL) first MOC Toa is actually a Heavily Armed Lewa. Realizing that the Rahi were becoming to powerful, Lewa upgraded himself to match them. He's made up of 2 Lewa, and the Pit Droid, and (...) (23 years ago, 13-Aug-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
