Bionicle - Thornatus V9 + Perditus

Some assembling required.

"The Thornatus V9 is a truly fearsome machine. Its three-pronged forward assembly can tear through opposing vehicles, while its four mounted blasters finish the job."

This is kind of a mega "model" it's so large in vertex size that I had to separate it (like the Toa Mata Nui, and my Time Warden MOC). Only, this one was the largest by far, at 458,068 vertices ALL UP, compare that to the Toa Mata Nui, at 294,618, and 169,692 for TW. Why's that, you might ask? Parts, there are over 200 in this build, and each model is sharpened, so it looks like it does in real life (it being like that increases the amount vertices). But hey, quality over quantity. So, I can't help it.

There are some minor differences with this and the official Thornatus, I was missing two parts, well, three, but I modelled one, didn't want to model the others (because they were harder). As you can see, the blasters on both sides (the thing with the drills) are improvised, and so is the thing near the back of the front wheels (the thing that curves over them). There's also a missing piece, I didn't bother improvising it. There is a bodygroup to disable the thornax spikeball, and enable a template thing that might help you in assembling.

When assembling, you need to pose all the _static parts in place with the base model, thornatus_v9.mdl, it might be difficult, even I found it a little bothersome, but if I can do it, as shown in the pictures, you can too. Use the temp bodygroup (accessable through thornatus_v9.mdl) as a help, if needed. When everything is put into place, you'll need to lock all the bones together. Search it up if you don't know how.
