Set #8996-1: Skopio XV-1

[Iconox]

Here's the official review for the Skopio-XV-1[/u]

Box - 4/5

The box itself is massive. It gives a life-size picture of the Scopio or the front. On the back, it shows a picture of the Skopio in tank mode and Tellurius out of the cockpit. It also shows pictures of the Barranus and Thornatus.

Build - 5/5

The Skopio is by far the largest and most infamous looking sets of the '09 storyline. It's fun to build, but make sure you have a good 3-4 hours to put into building it (took me 2 1/2, but that's just me). You have to build 4 legs which can get to be repetative, but once you get into it it goes fast and becomes rather simple.

Playability - 5/5

The Skopio towers over the rest of the sets, so not much can put up a fight. It could probably take off Tuma's head with those jaws. The guns is a little difficult to pose, but that's not too much of a problem. The 4-legged "Attack Mode" can attack and destroy things in a short range that way. If Tellurius were to want to go somewhere faster, then he'd pick Tank Mode though. Overall a fun piece to play with.

Overall - 4.75/5

The Skopio is a fun and giant set. It has a great build and a massive box and can trasform. I'd reccommend it to anyone who can put $90 in to a Bionicle. Keep ur eyes peeled, becausw I'll be doing more set reviews and posting more pics in the near future.
