Bionicle General Discussion

[The Host]

Hey, it's not like gold's the cheapest colour, though I guess after Tarix, and Brutaka, that probably isn't an excuse for some fans. I don't think they should've gone for no gold though, because another Keetorange, or a Yellow, Ignika wouldn't be so epic awesome as this gold Ignika.

Well, I still think they should have added more gold to it, and taken it off of Tarix... I'm not gonna let the colour scheme ruin the set for me, (I can complain about can Mata Nui...). Maybe I'll look for some gold to add on to Mata Nui Titan - (T)MNT

[Magical Girl Mimi]

xD

Meh, I guess I'm the only one who's actually liking it without any complaint's 'cept that tiny waist... Though even that I can get, since aside from making a while custom waist, all the pieces to use them are thin... Which doesn't look that bad on the cans, but as it gets bigger, it's more noticeable.

[The Host]

well, my only complaint is the lack of gold(or the presence of 4 gold pieces...)

can't wait for August, when they arrive in Canada... I foolishly checked for them the other day, and they obviously weren't there(in Wal Mart or Zellers...)
And the new comic is pretty good. Nice to see all of the GLs. And Greg really tried hard to get people to read the book and the online serials, as well as listen to the Podcast. What with all of the asterics like: *he did, in the new book Raid on Vulcanus... lol

[Trijhak]

Yeah, it was a pretty good comic.

Also, Ackar's line when he looked up at the Ignika made me think that both Kiina and Ackar want to get off of BM.

We also got spoilers of RotGB!

They will actually get to the maze... next question... how did he get back?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Kiina wants to at least, by the look of the catalog entry thing.

Can someone give a quote of what Ackar said(the lighting made it hard to read, and I may have just skipped over it...).
And as for spoilers, well, we already knew of the maze, but we didn't know that they'd get there(although it'd be a boring story if they didn't make it...). I am still wondering how they got back... and how two matoran made it through but everyone else who's tried hasn't made it...

I'm still wondering if Greg is gonna put Kibraz into the story...

Skopio has the best function I've ever seen in a Bionicle... I don't know which follows it after, like top five functions.
What do you guys think are the top five functions in all sets?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

1. Agori.

2. Oh, probably, but probably not until it gets to the vehicles. Speaking of which, I wonder why Perditus pilots the Thornatus instead of Metus? And exactly what role does Telluris play...?

3. Skopio's for sure, a transformer, even if the second form is a scorpion or so, is awesome. The whacking arms of the Toa from the Mata to the Metru are cool too, and have to rank somewhere. The Bohrok's neck smashing was epic fun too, but probably doesn't compare to other functions. Boxor's punching actions looked cool too, but I'm not sure. And rivaling the Skopio would probably be the Manas Crabs' remote controled sets.

[Trijhak]

More probably already heard usless info:
Sahmad and Telluris come from the same plague-killed tribe. They're both Agori, and the Skopio is a scropion-like creature, while the Skopio X-V1 is a Vehicle.


Oh, and RP:

It was somthing about 'is it something I can use to get off this ____ world?'

I can't remember, I got a server error.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

That's pretty interesting... And also means it'll probably an enemy's tribe, unless they're like Mazeka and Vultraz...

[Trijhak]

New EotS up.

Some possible female Skrall in it.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Whoa. I think... Stronius's first quote may have been a good way to sum up the journey. =P

It's interesting, because while everything else shows the Skrall as one of the most evil people around Bara Magna, EotS shows them in a different way somehow... Not quite as evil, but... That still doesn't excuse their actions in destroying Atero.

1. Sure, whatever the short freaks are called...
2. Because Perditus is cooler (I dunno, but there's probably more than one, and Metus already has a set...) Telluris is just cool to the max(except for the silver armour on his upper legs...)
3. Mine are:
-Skopio
-Rahi from 01(ex. extenda neck on muaka and kane-ra)
-Axalara (the Midaks and the tri-arms)
-Toa Mata/Nuva (yeah those flinging arms(and leg) are cool and original)
-Rockoh (The ball shooting mechanism is really well done)

Honourable Mentions go to:
-Bohrok
-Vahki(even if it's not great they could flip over)
-The rest of the rahi from 01
-ummm... those titans in 03(I didn't get them, but they look cool(the bird, the crab, Taka and Makuta(who I wish I had))

@KZ:Sahmad and Telluris come from the same tribe? Cool. I hope Telluris is good, or a really cool bad guy like Makuta... Pretty cool about the Skopio info... Telluris built his own thing based off of a skorpion thing. and thanks for the quote.

Yeah, the skrall are just sad people that lost their land... and have come to destroy the other people to reclaim land... (well, it's cool that they destroyd Atero, kinda).

There are so many similarities between MU and BM:
-Coliseum and Atero are alike
-Six tribes
yeah, thats all I can think of... I guess not that many...
I wonder how much more story can be put into BM... maybe Greg will do a Flashback like the Toa Metru flashback, and we'll return to Spherus Magam pre-shattering and take part in the core war...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

2. There's no silver armour on his upper legs... At least not from the standing by the vehicle pose in the catalog.

BM Speculation: ... You know, that could actually be possible, and a flashback like that could explain how they fill in next year's gap.

[Trijhak]

I thought Greg said there won't be any more flashbacks?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

*Shrugs* I dunno. I'm just saying, it may be a good idea, and having the elemental lords as sets would probably be epic if they did it right.

[Saturn2.0]

Sorry to break discussion, but anybody know the kanoka codes for Gresh and all Agori?

[mtmerrick]

yep. they're in biomart.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Why are you selling the BIO Codes when anyone could find it on the boxes...?

[Saturn2.0]

Irnakk, Piruk, Jaller's pet thing (not Pewku, that watercrab), Mahri Matoro, and....... Carapar (I used to have more).
