Bionicle General Discussion

That's what I thought about Cendox... But bohrok feet look a little small on most sets... although Crotesius isn't what yu bought the set for... BTW, how's the mask?

[Trijhak]

Awesome in 'CROTESIUS MODE", ugly in 'SCODONIUS MODE'.
The hands make it look so much better than just a dull 'old' hand.

[The Host]

That's what I thought about the mask too. Telluris' mask looks good both ways IMO, although it could be lower down over the ironmanhead in Telluris mode...

[Trijhak]

The helmet I hate the most on the vehicles is Sahmad's/Perdutis'.
Just looks so ugly...

The bestest vehicle desgins this year, IMO:
1. Cendox/Skopio
2. Thornatus
3. Baranus
4. Kaxium

Yeah, they change often. As for Warriors...
1. Fero and Skirmix
2. Tuma
200. Toa Mata Nui

[Kritzelei]

I have Cendox, it's quite cool.

KZ, did you say you'd post a review of Cendox? I was going to, but then decided not to for some reason.

I agree with you on vehicles, except I like Skopio more than Cendox(I plan on getting both eventually, so then I'll be able to make an actual decision)

As for Warriors:
1. Tuma
2. Fero and Skirmix
201. Mata Nui Titan

and as for helmets, the worst one IMO is Scodonius/Kibraz helmet (whereas Crotesius' helmet is one of the best). But yeah, Sahmad/Perditus helmet is kinda ugly/bland.

[Kritzelei]

I don't like the Kibraz helmet(I think that's the one) where it's a reversed Crotesius helmet.

BTW, why is Mata Nui Titan so bad? I think he's OK.

[Trijhak]

Cendox is a BIG improvement over Vultraz for sure. Well Desgined, no flimsy landing gear, better launcher.

Few cons:

Drooping Thornax Launcher
Life counter Wobbles


That's it, at least for me. Cendox is also longer than Vultraz. Much better, too. I'm also pretty sure that Thornarus is better than jetrax.

it's also because of his LARGE amount of holes and bad colour scheme. kaxium is also only available in the UK at S@H...
(not sure for other countries)

[Kritzelei]

I have to agree with the drooping thornax launcher, that's annoying, but my Life Counter doesn't wobble at all.

[The Host]

Cons for Skopio:
-repetitive build
-cost that can kill

MNT is bad because he's full of holes, he has flat shoulders and a head that looks rediculous. The arms are Taka remakes that didn't do well, and the legs are Taka upgrades that are huge. On a whole, he's just not very good IMO.

[Trijhak]

Let me just see which is the real worst vehicle...

Kaxium:
Blocky
Full of holes
Agori are the same

Baranus:
'Bad Colour Scheme'
baranus has holes

Thornatus:
Lots of Holes
Perdutis looks... squeezed in

We already know about Cendox and Skopio...

Kaxium is the worst vehicle, baranus and Thornatus are tied for 'normal', Cendox and Skpio are tied for 'great'.

[Kritzelei]

Cons for Skopio:
-repetitive build
-cost that can kill

MNT is bad because he's full of holes, he has flat shoulders and a head that looks rediculous. The arms are Taka remakes that didn't do well, and the legs are Taka upgrades that are huge. On a whole, he's just not very good IMO.

OK, I might take your word for it on MNT and save up for something else like Thornatus or Skopio.

[Trijhak]

Yeh, they're much better. Especially considering that here TRU has him for 40 quid while S@H has him for 30 quid. >_>

Luckily, S@H is where I get most of my sets.

[Kritzelei]

I can't stand TRU, I use my local toy shop or S@H when I can. Or sometimes even Argos.

[Trijhak]

Argos IMO, is ver y bad when it comes to canister sets. When it comes to Larger sets, it's much better.

[Kritzelei]

Yeah, I wanted Vastus from there but they only had Ackar and Mata Nui, and I'd ordered Mata Nui of S@H.

[Trijhak]

They certainly lack availability.

But I'm still wondering why the BIONICLEStory.com site isn't updated to fit the Legends... BIONICLEStory, IMO, before Summer 08 was a good site, now it's one of the sites I don't visit. The updates take way too long. Summer 08 was long, but not THIS long. If he plans to give us all the info we are meant to recieve, then they better hurry up. or just Shut it down completely and make part of the actual site. Making it part of the actual site would be better for its visitors.

[The Host]

@SV: yeah, I would save up for Thornatus or Skopio instead of MNT. Although MNT does have some positives about him:
-Gold Ignika (this is only a positive when looked at alone. When on the set it looks odd.)
-6 piston pieces(Though Skopio has 16 I think)
-Unique Torso design (which would usually be good. In this case it's good because it's unique, but it's still also a con, because it loks odd)
-Posable Hands(even better than the new hand pieces)
-Looks sturdy

Cons:
-Awful Color Scheme
-Flat Shoulders with exposed head
-Recycled Arm Design, but worse than Taka's
-Torso is skinny
-Not enough Gold

[Trijhak]

I'm finding this weird:

Kaxium, Thornatus and Skopio all have two life counters, but Baranus and cendox only have one, I guess it could pass for Cendox, but Baranus? Shouldn't the chariot and Spikit have their own life counters?

[The Host]

I would think so. That's weird. It would also be nice if the larger sets(Thornatus and Skopio) came with more than one Thornax. Although maybe it's a rule that in the arena you can only have one, but still, 849 pieces and 1 Thornax(not even a spare one?)

Also, in the Ackar Strakk fight scene, neither has a Thornax, but they have their tirbes respective shields(Strakk with the snowflake and Ackar with that weird thing Raanu carries)
