Bionicle General Discussion

[Ddude The Insane]

Well, we're still waiting to see the Sisters of Skrall, so I'd expect them to be one of the Stars, or at least a set next year.

[Kritzelei]

I'm not quite up to speed with the BIONICLE story at the moment, with not being able to receive the comic (very annoying ) and not knowing much about the podcasts and stories on Bioniclestory.com either. So, from what I've heard:
Teridax and some of his other evil things like Rahkshi are coming to Bara Magna
Mata Nui gets in a robot thingy
That's all I know. Can someone tell me anymore?

[Magical Girl Mimi]

There's a link to a post on BZP where you can read the scans of the comic, and The Legend Reborn should be out by now where you are...

And essentially the MU and Bara Magna are going to meet. That includes Tahu, Rahkshi, Takanuva, Nektann(A character from Destiny War last year, who is the leader of the Skakdi, the Piraka's species), Skrall(Bara Magna), and Gresh(Bara Magna). The robot is explained in a combo of TLR and the latest comic.

[Trijhak]

Nektann is not the elader of the Skakdi. Just the most well-known and feared Skakdi Warlord.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Ah, my mistake, it's been a while since I've read/listened to Destiny War

[Trijhak]

And if he's a warlord, he's even more powerful than the original Piraka...

Gresh, Tahu and Takanuva are 'good'.

Nektann wants to conquer.

Rahkshi are evil, they are basically Teridax's essence.

The Skrall want revenge.

Four different (speculation this is) sides to the stars...

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Well, did Axonn and Brutaka succeed in getting him to help fight the Brotherhood? If so, he may fight against Teridax?

[mtmerrick]

One of the peculiar things about a Skakdi warlord's base is the lack of any kind of a dungeon, torture chamber, or prisoner of war camp. History has shown that there's very little point in torturing a Skakdi, as they never talk except in trade, usually for their freedom, which few captors will agree to. And keeping prisoners means listening to them whine for trivial things like food, water, and a good-sized club to use on the Stone Rats who keep paying midnight visits.

So when Brutaka and Axonn were marched into warlord Nektann's camp, no one seemed quite sure what to do with them. Killing them immediately came to mind, but then it would be impossible to find out why they were on the island to start with. Unlike the famed Necrofinch of the Zakaz mountains, most beings did not continue to sing after they were dead. It was Axonn who insisted that they be brought before Nektann himself. Nektann was larger than the average Skakdi, or at least he appeared so sitting on his throne made from the fused weapons of his foes. He was accompanied by his pet, which looked like a Muaka cat covered in spiked armor. Nektann, ever the gracious host, asked them if they had anything to say before he had them painfully disassembled.

"Yes," said Axonn, "The Brotherhood of Makuta."

Nektann spat on the ground. The Muaka growled. "What about them?" asked the warlord.

"We offer you a chance to sack their fortresses, loot their weapons, and slay their warriors," Axonn said.

"We'd throw in 'Make their women weep,' but have you ever seen a female Makuta?" added Brutaka. "I-It's not pretty."

"Why should I listen to you when it would be so much quicker and easier to throw you into the Tahtorak pens?"

"Because we've already been to see the other warlords of Zakaz," lied Axonn. "What, did you think we would come to this puny hole first? They have all agreed to ally with us. If you refuse, you can sit on your petty throne and watch as they grow rich and powerful."

Nektann frowned, the only expression uglier than a Skakdi's smile. No self-respecting warlord wanted to be left out of a chance at glorious battle and even more glorious loot. In the end, he nodded.

"Why did you tell him we had talked to the other warlords?" whispered Brutaka. "We still have to go to all their camps and talk them into an alliance."

"That's a lot of work," Axonn agreed, "so I guess you better get started."

[Ddude The Insane]

Nice. =p

BTW, got comic five today. The scan on BZP is the entire comic.

[mtmerrick]

LUCKY!

my subscription ended with this last issue.  it lasted six years. so i may or may not get comic 5, which sucks beyond all belief.

[Trijhak]

From Destiny War , that is.

(Reminds me: The serial archive thing!)

Of all of the alive non-set characters, who is your favourite?

Mine would have to be Lariska. If Tridax hadn't been killed by stupid old Trinuma and the overpowered Matoran Mazeka.

And Comic 5 is ot 'sucky beyong all belief'.

OffT: *spacewarsnonexistantthemeplaysinthebackgroundoftahusquishingmatanui*

[mtmerrick]

no, i said that i may not get is is sucky.

and though I'll have to think about it, lariska has always been one of my favorites

[The Host]

Favourite Living Non-Set... I dunno. Lariska is the only one I can think of that's taken on a personality, although Darkness(I think that's his name(the one that guards TSO)) has pretty cool powers and a nice persona(which Teridax should have kept to-mysterious). I don't like the form he was put into in the DH book though.

[Magical Girl Mimi]

Hmm... Good question. Dume's out because of Teridax's disguised form, correct? =P

[Ddude The Insane]

You guys talking about the Metru Nui storyline or what?

Anything new about the Stars? I'm a bit cautious ever since I went looking for them and got onto a site that told me my computer was infected and I needed to fix it. I'm lucky I had experience with that kind of thing, or....>___>

I'm still pumped about the Golden Hau. Oh, BTW, I made a few Bionicle MOCs that I might upload if I ever get a camera. =P It's a team of Toa rebelling against Makuta. I made a Tanma with a damaged arm and leg, a Toa Solek (who didn't come out great IMO), a Toa who was infected by darkness and now is rogue, and a Toa of Fire who goes on all fours, with two extra limbs with weapons on them. My personal fav was the Toa of Earth. He has a shield and an Antroz blade, and I got creative with silver and black. His shield is an Onua Mistika shield connected to an Onua Mistika foot, which functions as his hand.

An-y-way...

[Dudebot5000]

During my month off, I heavily revamped my Toa of Shadow MOC. It looks amazing now. Now if only I would get around to taking pictures. =P

[Magical Girl Mimi]

If my computer hadn't crashed, I'd've gotten around to finally uploading my almost a year or more old MOCs(To put it into perspective, they're based in Karda Nui still. =P). I have one up on the Universe gallery actually, but...

[Ddude The Insane]

I gotz me a Vorox. Well actually my aunt bought it for me. She nice. She like to buy things for me family. (she got us a Wii a few years back, it was my combined birthday and Christmas present. My birthday is a little bit after Christmas.)

Longer I spend with Vorox, more I like to act out what he do. The more I do with him, the lower my IQ go. He primitive. I primitive now. *hiss* =P

Ok, getting BOT...

Vorox is a decent set. He has flaws, like the kajillion threelong blue pins he has that would be easily replaceable with black pins. Or his Strakk neck Dx His helmet leaves a bit to be desired, depending on what angle you're lookinbg at him. But other than that, he's aweomse. Spear is awesome, launcher is awesome, Inika clone build is (suprisingly) awesome, feet are awesome, etc. He has a recolored Toa Mata/Nuva foot on his back which is really nice. His stinger tail works GREAT.

[Trijhak]

Why does a savage beast need the same neck as us?It's morw animalistic with the Krika-Neck.

[uraw911]

Samuel L. Jackson(That's what I'm nicknaming the Yellow Rahkshi of Heat Vision, because of Spirit's PSA) isn't that good?

I found that PSA a while ago in the Geomega incident board.

Oh yeah, I have this really awesome MOC that I still need to take a pic of. He's a evil warlord, with Spinax's head, and an epic spear. I'll show soon.
