How are Fero and Skirmix and Baranus?

[0PureChaos0]

They are both good. Baranus though, I thought the back was the front when I was building it, (plot twist : D) but it was a pretty good build. The think is that I bought Baranus V7, Kaxium V3, and Gelu at the same time, at night. All took two 1/2 hour for me, and the worst part, a thunder storm was happening. A SEVERE one. (1 1/2 hrs if the t-storm didn't happen.) Anyway, Fero and Skimrix is a nice build too. I fould the dragon interestingly cool.

I also might make a minature movie thats like 1.30 min. long with all of them.

song I will probably put in it:

Sounds like the Baranus is a pretty good set, better than the Kaxium anyway, but;s that because it is bigger than the Kaxium, but the following is actually quite surprising in terms of both costs and pieces: baranus only has 12 more pieces than the Kaxium.

[0PureChaos0]

Maybe they made the price by size. : D

The baranus though has a wierd way of the monsters front feet. the legs are sideway.

[Trijhak]

..I can understand that. The two heads prevent it from being normal, probably.

I might be wrong, though.

[0PureChaos0]

I tried it. It worked fine.

[Trijhak]

Oh.

How's the Kaxium V3?

[0PureChaos0]

The Kaxium V3 is cool, if you let out the cramped space, and the second vehicle turning all the time unless it has the first attached to it. But it's a cool set.

Next Vehicle:

Thornatus V9

Sahmad has the same helmet as Perditus. : D

[Chicken Lord]

I really  need to get more bionicle = P

[The Host]

Thornatus V9 really reminds me of Jetrax. Both have the same cockpit design, and they both have a similar function(wings folding out, wheels flying forwards). Also, they both have a red pilot. I like Thornatus' look more though, because of the huge back wheel and the Midka placement. The rider also looks cooler. The wheels on Thornatus and Baranus look odd though...

@Cendox owner(someone who has Cendox): how many track pieces does it use?

[Trijhak]

Cendox uses 20 Track Pieces.

Thornatus and Baranus wheels look like Power Miner Wheels if you ask me.
Maybe they are.
Also, Thornatus Cockpit design is similar, and not the same. The Jetrax had a three-holed beam, where Thornatus has a 5-holed beam for the front of the cockpits, and  thornatus also has the tubing. Thornatus' build and Jetrax's build are not in the least similar, except for the similar cockpit and pilots.

(I've gathereds that from the customer service building instructions.)

[The Host]

Well, they're the most similar between two years. Followed by Skopio and Mazeka(because of the 4 legs).

2009's vehicles are much better than 2008's, mostly because of the playability on the ground, instead of swooshing them through the air. Even if there are less functions, Skopio's transformation ability, along with being able to ride along the ground beats Axalara IMO, Thornatus has a similar function of Jetrax, and it rolls, so it beats that, Baranus and Rockoh aren't really comparable, but they seem about even. Baranus has 3 components, but no function, while Rockoh has 2 parts and functions. Kaxium and Cendox are both way better than Vultraz, and Cendox looks cool enough to beat out Rockoh too...

[Trijhak]

Giving them wheels has made them a lot better for the younger fans of BIONICLE-they don't need to hold up huge vehicles to 'play' with them now-they can just push them.

That may be the reason why they have wheels, IMO.

Though Skopio and Mazeka have little resemblances except for the 4 legs...
The more I look at the vehicles, the more I like them... so much better than last year's.
Last year, we had two flying refrigeraters, a jet-resembling thing, a speeding skyfighter thing, and a turret on legs. This year, we have a snowmobile, a motorcycle, a chariot, a dune buggy, and a walker-tank-transforming thing.

[Kritzelei]

Have you seen the latest clip? Kiina doesn't sound to bad in that clip.

[mtmerrick]

O_O

nice! new! shiny!

a new TLR clip on Bioicle.com!

[Trijhak]

...THAT WAS AWESOME.

Kiina's voice sounds a lot better... and the Skopio... and the bonehunters... and the thornatus...



I see why the  Thornax launcher on Thornatus has rods sticking out of it, it's a turret! And with the wheels folding out, it can have another Glatorian on it.... so by itself, the Thornatus can have two Glatorian/Agori on it, and with the wheels folded out it can have three Glatorian/Agori...

[The Host]

oooh! Skopio was in it(well, a wild one, but still).
So, Skopio, Thornatus, and those dino thingts that Bone Hunyers ride on... epic.

But Kiina's voice still sounds too high pitched for me. But I'm fine as long as she doesn't go 'Wahoo!'

When do they meet Gresh?

[0PureChaos0]

They meet in Tajun after Gresh is attacked.

[Trijhak]

oooh! Skopio was in it(well, a wild one, but still).

When do they meet Gresh?

Story Update, in Tajun. Tajun's being attacked by BOTH Bone Hunters and Skrall. Jgresh is like the main character of 'Raid On Tajun' if there was one

Kiina's voice is too high pitched? I find it quite fine, she is female.
