How To Use VASTUS's LEGO Parts To Build Bionicle MOCs

I freaking love the 2009 Glatorian sets! Let's talk about one of the best ones today, and that's Vastus!

Vastus is special to me because he was the last set I bought before Bionicle was cancelled.

[@empatheticrambo4890]

Dang, I never thought of that. He was probably my last too

[@georgiy650]

Roodaka revamp gave me neuron activation

[@giusepper8394]

Snakes actually could mean also regeneration, rebirth, and medicine. (The staff of Asclepius, the greek minor god of medicine, had a single serpent around it)

[@BIONICforge_Studios]

Snakes are also a symbol of healing and are also sometimes a sign of reincarnation or regeneration. Those shoulder pieces can be a pain to work with due to their inflexible bulkiness, though I did make a sort of jungle hydra that used them. Wonderful Mocs as always!

[@thecaveofcreatures1728]

I love your character analysis of Vastus linking his snake theme to regrets over past sins. I don't care if its "overthinking it," I dig it!

[@MCLegoboy]

Snakes? Ninjago before Ninjago...

[@Lookingforlore]

What a twist

[@sleephormone9507]

I grew up more on hero factory than bionicle and only got vastus as a birthday present years after. I didn’t know how cool of a character he was and now I’ve got some cool ways to reuse the weird pieces he comes with :) good vid

[@scottdraper2419]

I didn't even know Vastas had snakes on his armor.
And I love it!🐍

[@dalethring4443]

Brother of Medusa?

[@Aranthappyrobot]

Perhaps the jungle tribe worshiped snakes similar to how the iron tribe worshipped the scopio.

[@Pikminer-5087]

Ah, Vastus, my first Bionicle set ever.

[@purplehaze2358]

Snakes are only associated with lies, temptation, and the like because of Nahas (the Eden serpent) - it's far more common for them to be associated with life, rebirth, transformation, and healing, while also having a healthy helping of prophesy, wisdom, fertility, and creativity.

[@purplehaze2358]

I'm still not sure why Mata Nui gave people of the jungle tribe air powers when "the green" makes much more sense.

[@legoman1218]

He’s underrated. The shoulders and helmet are incredible

[@scottdraper2419]

That's a statement👍

[@roccotherayquaza2468]

Ben: Vastus has snakes on his body
Me: Oh real?

[@user-qg1mw5tz1q]

i really like how vastus is probably the most detailed glatorian.

[@thezoid8508]

It'd be cool to see someone do a remake of karzani with that mask

[@christophermcgee3809]

I love the glatorians and agori since there more organic then what we was used to and they didn't have powers like the toa till Mata nui gave them the element power I also love that the glatorian was the gladiators

[@vladdura9115]

The snake on the helmet actually has the fangs as well, they go down and form the mouth hole of the helmet

[@empatheticrambo4890]

I have never noticed the snakes on the helmet and staff!!

[@Aussie_Ann]

Ohhhhh Ben you are a STAR ⭐️ I love your videos & thoroughly enjoyed what you said about snakes. Thank you for pointing this out because I had never noticed this before - oops! Keep up the excellent videos you post, I LOVE them ❤❤

[@blitzcha0s308]

This was a set I really wanted as a kid. Didn't get it cuz it had to choose between this or Gresh and kid me chose Gresh.

[@droconistheantisentient1721]

The second moc in the video is using a very familiar arm design. 👍

[@sonjaziegler-ui8we]

😅

[@NotDoneIsNub]
