Title: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 04, 2008, 04:38:52 pm
Katiko: ... Since Rahkshi locked the OTHER one, discuss ANYTHING Bionicle here. ... Just make sure to keep this up this time? I won't wanna see this locked again, and I don't think my necromancing skills will help this time.

Blade: What the!? A Necromancer Katiko?! Meet my Paladin Blade!

Katiko: ...

*is making sure topic stays alive hopefully*...
Have you guys seen Mazeka? I don't mean to be like everyone at BZP, but he is AMAZING, even if he still uses old pieces ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 04, 2008, 07:24:24 pm
Katiko: Yes I have.

Blade: MAZEKA!! WHOOO! MAZEKA!!!

Katiko: Shut up Paladin.

Blade: ...

Katiko: Anyway, I like it, mostly because it makes use of awesome pieces, and pieces that are included that are every MOCer's dream... Plus there's the Volitek I never got.

It's nothing a bunch of sets could make, but I guess I like the idea with the three-sided zamor rapid fire attachment.

Katiko: Yeah, that's awesome, but there's parts like Carapar Blades and other stuff that i don't have :P

Blade: DIE NECROMANCER!

Katiko: ... Excuse me while I deal with an annoying Paladin.

Well, that is the point of a store exclusive set, to use old pieces in cool ways. ;D

Katiko: Yeah, that's awesome, but there's parts like Carapar Blades and other stuff that i don't have :P

Blade: DIE NECROMANCER!

Katiko: ... Excuse me while I deal with an annoying Paladin.
Well, I have Carapar blades, but I didn't go out and get two Carapar sets just to have four claws :P
And do you realise how hard it is to read you Blade part that you so nicely typed in BRIGHT YELLOW :P

Ah, it's a store exclusive... Forgot 'bout that...
You can get two from Gavla.
I see it fine...

Post by: Blade on June 05, 2008, 03:09:26 pm
Blade: Yeah, I can see it fine because I'm using one of my Matrix skins as usual :P

Katiko: ... ANYWAY... I know about Gavla, but meh. Mazeka's my pick to obtain for the summer first :P Three Zamor holders is good for someone who skipped 2006.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 05, 2008, 03:19:00 pm
Look in the BZP article for it, it has a FULL picture that looks like it's from the box(Though it's probably from the instructions with the rest of him :P)

Well, Gavla is much to expensive for me to put 7$ CAD for 14 pieces. And I guess you have better eyesight than me :P
Does anyone have any Mazeka pics? I can only find the pic of the Matoran and not the vehicle.  ???
Some one in official 08 sets topic posted a link to a PDF instruction booklet with his picture(and his building instructions :P) so you can see it there, or build it and see it in person.
Blade: Yeah, I can see it fine because I'm using one of my Matrix skins as usual :P

Katiko: ... ANYWAY... I know about Gavla, but meh. Mazeka's my pick to obtain for the summer first :P Three Zamor holders is good for someone who skipped 2006.
Mazeka will not be my first to pick up though, amazing as it is. Axalara-T9, Takanuva(maybe), Tahu and Bitil are gonna be, and if I have enough money, I'll get Gali. As ugly as her mask seemet at first, she has been growing on me lately, enough for me to stick her on as my avvie ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Rakoua on June 08, 2008, 03:45:49 pm
Actually, I have a laptop so I have a flat view on the text.
Yeah, it's expensive... I suggest you buy Mutran instead of Chirox and Kirop, too.
And I will buy Alaxara too, but I won't be buying any Bionicle until Christmas.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Post by: Blade on June 09, 2008, 07:17:35 am
Plus, there's the fact that he's probably using a Matrix skin too :P

Yeah, the Matoran prices were set a LITTLE too high this year... Plus there's the fact that they're going even higher this summer :-\


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Rakoua on June 09, 2008, 12:51:51 pm
And the Phantoka are becomeing pricier.
Also, I use a normal skin... The one that ahs a grey background.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 09, 2008, 01:01:14 pm
You are? Oh...

Yeah, but the Mistika will be 15.99 or so CAD >>"


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Rakoua on June 09, 2008, 01:02:40 pm
O.o' That'll be way too much in Croatia if I plan to go to Denmark...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 09, 2008, 01:09:15 pm
Eh, it'll be 12.99 USD :P Shouldn't base it on our price, last I checked*coughmonthsagocoughcough* we were near the US Dollar... And the price hasn;t changed since before 2006. -_-'

Actually, I thought that the canister prices were staying the same in Canada, so only people in the US get the major price hike coughthatwe'vehadforyearscough. But the bad thing is that vehicle prices are a major difference here in Canada... huge difference sadly.
Eh, it'll be 12.99 USD :P Shouldn't base it on our price, last I checked*coughmonthsagocoughcough* we were near the US Dollar... And the price hasn;t changed since before 2006. -_-'

Which is good for us having a powerful dollar, but I'm not going to the states anytime soon though.
Oh, and the reason I couldn't see your writing is cause I'm using vista mimic skin.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 09, 2008, 02:41:36 pm
Yeah had that feeling you would be using that...

Yeah, good point... But they should either keep it the same or near... Just because of that... But knowing how they wouldn't drop the price originally, they will up it instead ::)

Well, they should keep all prices the same(CAD vs US) or at least really close, because with the CAD dollar really high, why should there be a difference...
BOT: Anyone in Canada seen BL10 yet, 'cause I really want it. And Axalara-T9 is the greatest set of all time IMHO ;D
Did anyone read Swamp of Secrets yet, and The Kingdom? I did yesterday. Solved many mysteries and brought in like 50 more lol. And The Final Battle is going to be the pwnage of all Bionicle books.  8)
No, I'm not even sure if BL10 is out yet in Canada... and BZP spoiler policy bans the code from BL10. Please don't spoil anything though :P
Yeah, BL11 is gonna own all... Axalara is in it, and Greg F already posted an excert from it on his blog ;D

Anyway, from reading Greg's blog, I think I know what meaning does the sogn Gravity Hurts have.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on June 09, 2008, 06:43:16 pm
Please don't send it to me, otherwise I will be too tempted to read it... But you could send me the code for the Kingdom if you have it ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 09, 2008, 06:50:03 pm
I'm already tempted to read it, and I don't think my library's even got Downfall yet! XD SO manyn mysteries solved...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 09, 2008, 07:22:39 pm
2009's supposedly when the Red Star Mystery's wrapped up, or so Greg said... :-\


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on June 10, 2008, 01:23:21 pm
I sent it ZLS.  8)

I can't wait until The Final Battle comes out. A surprise ending that makes 2007's look mild...leading directly into the 2009 storyline, and the return of old favorite characters.

But does anyone know when the red star mystery's coming back?
I can't wait for BL10 or 11 anymore, and august seems soooo far away still... must have the sets... and the red star is really annoying me, as does a lot of stuff on BZP, like, for example, when people ask: "remember that black matoran that stood beside Takua in MoL and almost said something, but then got killed by a rahkshi? Was that matoran's name  ___?" some people are just toooo into it. I mean, Bionicle is great, but come on, do you need to go that in depth?  :P
But I would like to find out about the creatures in it, and about the red star... except I don't think it will be much ;)
Oh, and BTW, who's everyones favourite Mistika?
Mine's either Tahu, Gali, or Bitil ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 17, 2008, 02:15:37 pm
Tahu. He reflects Ninja in him, and if I make him into a green one, he'll be Wood Ninja... Or otherwise known as a MegaMan Star Force 2 transformation :)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

A bit more than a month until the official release of the ... MISTIKA :) ;) :D ;D

Actually, you were wrong :P A bit more than two days :P The Mistika and their friends are on S@H. Here's some of the prices in Canadian:

The Toa and Makuta Mistika: $12.99(Wow, we were saved! =D)
Takanuva: $39.99(Oof, gutspunch...)
Vultraz: I missed his price.
Rockoh: $54.99(Can you say, Inflation Hurts?)
Axalara: $94.99(*Faints*)

... Prices are rising... Inflation Hurts...

XD Mind C/Ping that tune you made up here Rakoua? It fits us right now :P

Close enough XD But seriously, what exactly warrents a FIFTEEN DOLLAR price increase between the states and us?! *Shakes head* Rediculous.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

That's weird...
Even we don't have that kind off price increase.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 26, 2008, 12:02:07 pm
Yeah. Ironically, the Mistika themselves are the exact same prices. >>" It looks like they're trying to apss of their savings and add on more stuff to the Vehicles ><

Oh yeah Taka doesn't seem to be THAT different, but I thought he was gonna be 29.99 or 19.99...

Americans will finally feel a bit of what us Canadians suffer each year, since we now have the same canister prices...

Jetrax isn't up yet...
SOS comes in only a few days... but they had to release it officially on a canadian holiday >:(

Nice. At least we can actually discuss it on BZP then though :-\ In spoiler tags albeit.

Nice. At least we can actually discuss it on BZP then though :-\ In spoiler tags albeit.
Just got back from my local bookstore and... they "said" that they had 10 SOS books in their store, but none that I could find :'( O well, I'll just wait till the third of july to get it, if I can go that day :D
Oh, and the BZP spoiler policy says that no SOS spoilers until july 25th I think :(

Takanuva is cheaper than Vez/Fen and Maxilos I think, but he will be bigger than Max/Fen ;DHis legs and arms look pretty custom, which is a change for Lego, for the better :D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I want Taka...

... Then again, I want ALL the sets, so that doesn't mean much XD

I want Taka...

... Then again, I want ALL the sets, so that doesn't mean much XD

I don't want all the sets... just most of them. Not Gorast, Krika, or Onua. Vultraz is not that great of a set, the only aspect of him I like is his mask... I want all of the T vehicles, but that would cost a lot of $$$. Takanuva is a definate yes. And Mazeka is a possibly...

As for books, SOS and The Final Battle are a must ;D


-==Blue Jetrax or Yellow Jetrax ?==-
Seems like a dumb idea on lego's part if the two are real :-\


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 29, 2008, 09:20:08 am
They're both. Blue is normal, Yellow's special edition.

Speaking of Jetrax, I want him and Rockoh for sure, but seeing as I just got MMSF2, I doubt I'm getting many, if any, summer sets. But, I DO want Tahu and another set... Dunno which though, they're so good(I don't understand why everyone dislikes the summer sets already... Wait until they actually are able to be in your hands >>")


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on June 29, 2008, 10:03:11 am
Definately Axalara, Takanuva, Tahu, Gali, and Bitil. Blue Jetrax maybe, and Rockoh is a low possibility... I will be out of money very fast.
Has anyone noticed a difference on the yellow Jetrax, or are they the same design exactly :-\


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Rakoua on June 29, 2008, 10:26:40 am
I'll wait until Christmas to get the Mistika...
I guess that's the only time I will have money.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 02, 2008, 08:26:35 am
The bionicle site is updated... Mistika are coming closer to release dates(except that someone has them already at BZP... they've become the most popular member :P)
The movie is really good... Tahu does the matrix :P
Takanuva gets a blog :o  ;D
and so much more :D

As for getting the mistika, I hope to get them as soon as they are out... and SOS will hopefully be mine within this week *yay*


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 02, 2008, 10:27:36 am
You can BUY them off the S@H...

Taka. Looks. Awesome.

And Onua's quickly becoming my favorite Mistika. Why...? NO WOBBLY HEADS! :D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Buying from S@H would cost more because of shipping/handling...

Yes, Taka does look awesome.

Tahu/Gali/Bitil FTW... Onua's arms and legs combined with a massive upper arm shield and biggest launcher don't go very well... he looks kinda weird IMHO... but the wobbly head thing not happening is good.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 02, 2008, 11:55:17 am
I really want: Taka, Onua, Gali, Tahu.

Yeah, that's a downside, but my idea is I'll have Onua only have one hand holding it, and another something else, double Quake Breaker possibly?

Krika has the same armour Onua has, correct? If so, I could also get him and be able to put that on Blade's new form!

Here's the things I really want:

Taka
Lewa Phantoka(Still don't have him ><)
Rockoh T3
Jetrax Blue
Gali
Tahu
Onua
Possibly Krika
Not sure about our Matoran of Iron friend, but he's looking awesome.
Vultraz potentially, he has FOUR Kopaka wings.
And of course Axalara, but if I got all these I'd faint, seeing as I doubt I'll get any of them :-\ :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 02, 2008, 12:01:30 pm
Yes, Krika has the same armour as Onua.

Okay, I really want all of the summer sets, but I doubt its going to happen, so the few that I get need to be good...

Axalara
Tahu
Gali
Bitil
Taka
... those are the musts...

Jetrax Blue
Rockoh(he has six kopaka wings or more...)
Lewa Phantoka(still don't have him >< :P )
...those would be either b-day/Christmas, or if I have money...

Gorast
Onua
Krika
Vultraz
Mazeka
...those are if by some amazing miracle they arrive at my front door, because there's no way I can afford all of them...


*hoping that I get BL10 today*

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 02, 2008, 02:03:47 pm
*Just read the instructions for Onua again* I wonder... I do have two Jaller chest armours, if I connected them, could I get the same thing?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

*Just read the instructions for Onua again* I wonder... I do have two Jaller chest armours, if I connected them, could I get the same thing?

I think that the Onua/Krika armour is new...
and I got BL10... it was excellent, many mysteries unsolved ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 02, 2008, 08:52:45 pm
1. I meant Ko-Matoran BTW, I forgot that's what he is...

2. Yeah, it is, but I was wondering if said armour would have the same effect.

3. Cool, I read the summary on BS01, it sounds interesting...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 03, 2008, 08:13:06 am
It would make a good body/armour combining the Jaller Mahri chestplates...
My wait for the Mistika should be cut in half, seeing as how I'll be away from saturday until about the end of July, then... Mistika ;D

I wish I'd gotten Lewa Phantoka instead of Chirox...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 03, 2008, 11:14:27 am
Chirox has his claws on the Jetrax...

Jetrax has four+ Bayonets XD

Yes, it does make a somewhat good body, if not bulky. But seeing as recently all but Tahu have been uber skinny, that's not exactly a bad thing.

Gali's pose made me want her even more.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 03, 2008, 12:11:47 pm
The only thing people seem to be mad about with the Mistika is that:
1- they don't look like the original nuva
2- they don't (for the most part) have melee weapons

But there are problems with those two complaints:
1- they are wearing adaptive armour, and who wants those non movable heads with masks that come off easily. Plus, if the Mistika weren't the nuva, people wouldn't be complaining that much.
2- who wants to fight a makuta in hand to hand combat  *puts hand down*

... I should try that jaller armour thing sometime...
Jetrax Yellow is a target exclusive I think
Gali's pose(on her canister) is much better than Tahu's or Onua's IMO.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 03, 2008, 05:53:47 pm
Yeah. But the pose in her instructions sold me. The one at the beginning of the PDFs?

Jetrax Yellow hasn't been confirmed for anywhere yet...

Haven't fully worked out bugs in it, like how it's like a star XD

Yeah, I fully agree. IMO they're much better than the original Nuva, and if you don't like their looks, deal with it and MOC them to the way you want them. That's the best thing about Lego; you can change their looks.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 03, 2008, 08:00:28 pm
The pose where she's kinda on an angle, both hands aiming the blaster? That one is excellent. And most of the poses on the front page of b.com are good, though small...

Have you seen Taka's arm connection? It looks to me like it would affect the way he is able to move his arm... but maybe it will make it better, i dunno :-\ hopefully for the better ;D

To bad Krika doesn't have more pieces... with that design, I would get him for sure, except that he has 1 more piece than Morak, but costs twice as much :'(


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2008, 12:05:37 pm
Youch. But then again, the size of his pieces are probably the fault.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 04, 2008, 12:11:17 pm
That, and the fact that he comes in a PLASTIC canister, instead of a cardboard box... and that Ignika mask/lid is huge :o


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2008, 12:29:25 pm
Wait, you've seen them?

I say Onua's awesome, followed by the rest of the Nuva. Bitil... Is puny. He looks like Tahu could sit on him and squish him accidentally. Krika: Well, he looks good, except for your flaw. Gorast: Eh, I haven't seen too much, but she looks like the best(Anyone notice she's part green too? ... Ok, that may have influenced me somewhat XD) of the Mistikuta.

Takanuva: Awesome in a can. ... Except for the back, but a few modifications would fix that.

Ko-Matoran Mazeka: His [spoiler]Swamp Strider[/spoiler] is huge. And he has Nuparu's mask, which is good.

Vultraz: He's a Ta-Matoran. On a Stick. XD He has four Kopaka Wings and 8 Midak Spheres to make up for it though...

Rockoh: Hello flying Refrigerator V1.

Jetrax: Why halo thar Antroz. I see you can see. And you've hijacked Kopaka's vehicle. And that you has a new torso. I also sees that you has 4+ Bayonets and at least 2 Twin Cutters. And two Krika blades. And two Brutaka Blades. Overall... JETRAX IS AWESOME.

Axalara: Flying Refrigerator V2. With a Scorpion tail and Lewa with a different mask.

Post by: The Host on July 04, 2008, 01:19:54 pm
No, I haven't seen them in person, but from pics, they look giant...

Bitil is a bug, do we really want him to be huge...
Krika flaw...
Gorast=ugly back... everything else is good

Tahu=awesome, 73 pieces
Gali's mask is ugly, but she looks excellent in most of her poses
Onua is not my favourite, but I like that Nynrah attachement, and the chest plate. The mask is not my fav...

Mazeka=excellent design, but its store exclusive, so no new pieces...
Vultraz... they could have done better
Rockoh, flying fridge is okay, but apparently theres only 12 green pieces in the whole thing :o :o :o
Jetrax is cool, and doesn't look like a fridge, but Antroz' mask is weird
Axalara=693 pieces and cool visor for Lewa. Plus its mata red, and just totally cool. If you must call him a fridge, then he is an excellent fridge capable of flying through the skies... I bet your fridge doesn't do that :P (andifitdoesi'mintrouble :o )


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2008, 01:29:29 pm
The mask is a Kraakhan basically. What don't you like about that...?

Bitil might be a little bigger, but most poses seem to have him small...

Jetrax is awesome. 'nuff said.

Axalara: Ok, so it's not as much a fridge as it originally looked like, but meh.

>> << Who told you!? XD

Oh yeah, just got my Lego Mag!


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 04, 2008, 01:32:40 pm
About Onua's mask, from most of the poses I've seen of him, his mask blocks off his eyes from the front... and it looks wide and flat...

Okay, Jetrax is awesome... Antroz is good, but his mask looks like a shadow leech :P

..good thing I'm gone for the week, otherwise your fridge might get me :P


I don't get Lego Mag :'(


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2008, 02:05:12 pm

Post by: The Host on July 31, 2008, 01:21:44 pm
Okay, so as I'm sure we all know, the Mistika's official release date is tommorrow (August 1st).

If my mom drives me to toysrus, I can get Axalara, and:

1:Takanuva and a random mistika
2:Three random mistika

So which one should I choose, and which mistika(s) should I get?

I'm leaning towards Tahu/Gali/Bitil, but if I can only get one...


but on another note...

Bionicle release date tommorrow !  ;D
;D ;D ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Wave Olsonman on July 31, 2008, 01:35:45 pm
Get the Takanuva and a random Mistika.

Well here are the good and bad features of Tahu/Gali/Bitil

Tahu-
More weapons than the other Toa Nuva Mistika, not good looking body crest.
Gali-
Less weaponary than the other Toa Nuva Mistika, greater features than the others.
Bitil-
Lots of features, less details

I don't know what to pick if I was you. Good Luck with the new Bionicles ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 31, 2008, 04:43:49 pm
If you like Ninjas, go with Tahu.
If you like Snipers, you'll love Gali.
If you like Beetles and bug, don't tell Bitil to buzz off ;)

Post by: The Host on August 02, 2008, 08:38:40 am
Well... TRU had only Vultraz, so I didn't give in, and they got no money off me...
 luckily, my local Zellers had Taka and all the mistika, but not T9, so I now own Taka and Tahu ;D

The Nynrah Blaster is great, although its hard to shoot it without recking the positioning of Tahu, and you have to pump it hard. The rockets on Tahu aren't bad, as long as you push the top ones outward and the bottom ones inward, then you have a good pose, and they don't get in the way. The mask is sweet ;D and the matoran connector is as bad as always, especially since I don't have a matoran...
 Takanuva is great, and the new mask is pretty big, which works well with his size, but not well with normal size toa... The hands are iffy, and the legs are great. Taka's mask isn't Maxilos style, which I like, although Tahu's mask is :'(

 That Bitil wing piece is huge! much bigger than I'd expected. I think I'll get Bitil and Axalara next ;D

Post by: The Host on September 01, 2008, 01:09:20 pm
The next CGI animation is up on Bionicle.com  ;D

I got Axalara T9, and he's amazing! Lewa's new mask with the visor is great, and Axalara itself is massive, and the functions work a lot better than I'd expected. The tri arms are huge when you flip them out, and the midak deployment is great.
Getting Lewa to ride his ship is not as easy as the rest of the play experience, but when you do get him in, he looks great.
I currently own Taka and Jetrax. 8)
Which one do you think is better? and you have the blue Jetrax right?

Yes, but his Game Gear has conflicting colours.

If anyone gets the pun, I give them a cookie.

... umm, its a gear piece and its his gear, now give me cookie... it took me a while though, and if you hadn't mentioned it I would have overlooked it...

But Strakk still has a bigger weapon, and cool armour :P

Gresh has the best mask/helmet IMO ->(Greg said its a mask in the book, but it still goes on like a helmet)

And still no sight of Fero and Skirmix, though TRU, Zellers and Walmart have the rest of the 09 sets :)

Same price everywhere?

The book coming in 09 later on for Bionicle. In the OGD someone asked what Greg refers to the mask/helmet things as. He responded saying that in the book that's coming later in the year he refers to them as masks...

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 28, 2009, 10:41:44 am
Well, if you've recently visited BZP, they have new pics of 2009 summer sets. Well, the large ones anyway. They have pics for four sets, but while searching on Brickshelf (because the blog that hosted the pictures that BZP linked to wouldn't show for me) I found a fifth one.

They are mostly vehicle size that we had in 08, although one of them has like 840 pieces, making it one of the biggest Bio sets ever. $110 CAD... Some of them look like the set designers just reorganised pieces from Jetrax to form something new, but with recoloured pieces, but some of them are interesting.

Anywho, you should check it out, and if the link doesn't work for you, then search one of the ames that BZP posted on Brickshelf to see pics :)

There are no canister sets yet though...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on January 31, 2009, 03:05:07 pm
[spoiler](from BZP)

SPOILER WARNING






Skopio XV-1?! That is one big crawler-tank-thing.
And the creature in Baranus is a Spikit.
Kaxium... Motorcycle?
Thornatus= Jetrax?
Baranus= Chariot and Spikit
 All vehicles are probably from before the Bara Magna 'Disaster'.

[/spoiler]

How do you do spoiler tags?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 31, 2009, 05:10:26 pm
Spoilers ahead containing summer set descriptions. Don't read on if you don't want to be spoiled.

I can't get the spoiler tags to work...






Skopio XV-1: Skopio is amazing, and the legs can fold in and out. The rider looks cool too, and the use of Idris blades on the legs looks so cool. 849 pieces also makes this one of the biggest Bionicle sets to date, if not the biggest. And in red too!

Baranus: The Spikit looks wierd. The head pieces are nice(the ones on the set display, not on the box design), but the colours look odd, and it kinda looks like a remade Spinax... As for the Chariot part, the rider once again looks cool, and a black Kalmah tentacle is cool but not so much as a whip... The chains used to attach the Spikit and Chariot look wierd and a bit skinny too...

Kaxium: Motorcycle and sidecar... that does not seem technologically behind... but as you said, if they are pre disaster then it may make sence... Don't like that it has two Agori drivers though... but if it has mata blue it makes it better.

Thornatus: Jetrax with wheels instead of turbines... even a red pilot too... only interest in this is the tan pieces.



Cendox V1: Not on BZP, but found on Brickshelf. Small little thing, kinda reminds me of Vultraz set. Nothing really interesting about this one...

Skopio looks the best out of all of them, but at $110 CAD it is gonna cut into people's wallets. But I will probably buy this set and one or two of the canister sets in the summer and that will be it.
If I do get any others it will be either Kaxium or Baranus...

I hope Glatorian Arena can compare to VNOG. That was the best game that Bionicle ever had online, and everygame since that has been terrible. No offence to the designers, but after VNOG, nothing could really compare to it, and it made everything else look bad.
The Mistika game was okay in that you could design your own stuff, but VNOG was the best :)

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 09, 2009, 06:55:39 pm
I hope its better, although this game looks different. This game looks kinda like the spinner challenge, with more added stuff. VNOG was an adventure type game and looks different.
GA has better character graphics from what I've seen, although a CGI graphic game would be sweet.
Anywho, we just need to wait now.
They siad at BZP that there may be a mid year update, but its not confirmed yet. And Toyfair is this week at the end. Can't wait for the game or toyfair ;D

I wouldn't judge by the pics... it does come in a few weeks, though.
It appears to be better than any of the othe BIONICLE games-even better than the _NOGs(___ Nui Online Games)

GUYS!
If you go to BZP, you can see the new sets!
**SPOILERS***






IMO, all except the blue complement each other well.
And Skopio:
IT CAN GO FROM A TANK MODE TO A SPIDER MODE!


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 15, 2009, 01:05:32 pm
**Spoilers**




Do you mean the blue canister set... That one is ugly...

The red canister set reuses Berix's helmet it seems...  I always did think of that one as a fire look alike...

New Arm Pieces!!! The pin and axle holes have rotated 90 degrees to be on a different side from current ones. The new armour uss that to attach... I don't know if I'm in love with that idea, but its different...
There is also cool lower leg armour so that the Bio figs don't look like their ankles will brake any second. 2009 seem to be the much more humanoid figure year...

Skopio is amazing! Red, so many pieces, and a massive function. Plus the rider is a new orange I think. But what's with the Midaks? they look kinda wierd...

And speaking of Midaks... Thornatus, which sounds like thornax, has I think one thornax launcher and four (4) (FOUR!?!?) midaks??? and tan!   But four midaks?!?!

Baranus looks cool, and the same as the previous pics except for those ugly heads...

Kaxium looks exactly the same... but still cool.

Cendox has finally been shown. (yeah!) Looks pretty cool, but very Vultraz-y... red body, smallest vehicle... anybody else seeing this?

Moving onto Canisters...
Mata Nui is UGLY. The mask blends into the rest of his keetorange body colour. He is disgusting. He is absolutely the worst set this year IMO. Nothing really looks good... sorry.

And the rest of the canisters I'll just name by colour as their names haven't been officially released I think...

Red: reuses Berix head. cool elemental sword. Nice ankle armour.
Green: Odd but cool head. Beautiful jungle themed armour. Not wild about the staff thingy but okay, its kinda cool.
Blue:Second worst set IMO. It doesn't look very appealing. The water themed armour is nice to have, but the colour scheme is not good. And it looks like the head is attached to a vahki leg that kaes up the front of the body. eww.
White: Beautiful. Ice themed armour. Ice themed weapons. Looks like Metux snowflake shield is used, so I don't have to spend $8 to get Metus. White. Same colour scheme as Strakk, which is nice.
Black: Another Skrall I'm guessing. This guy looks strong. He holds a club, and the head matches the texture of the club. Definately a good set.


But it's too early to make a decision on what to get and what not to get. But I'll start saving for Skopio...

Ah... People trashing the one who had control of the last universe... Priceless =P Also, if you remember, this is a prototype. So, stuff may change, and his colour scheme, if you notice, is exactly the same of the Ignika's, minus the annoying silver. And the Ignika's a different colour, and fits with this year's head it seems.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 15, 2009, 01:35:03 pm
He's ugly. If he is the same set when he comes out as he is now he will be the last set that I would ever get. The blue one is getting worse and worse each time I look at it. And the green one is getting better...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 01:43:33 pm
No matter what, a few members from/on BZP will always complain... ::)


*SPOILERS*



Mata Nui is the set I like the best, with the green one the second best. (This is just IMO)
Cendox is better than Vultraz... easily, at least for me.
And with the movie info, Mata Nui's band of Glatorian suits him well, IMO.

Also: NEW UPPER ARM PIECE. It has the holes on the sides, and not the front.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 15, 2009, 01:46:25 pm
Kiina has a custom torso. And didn't everyone say all the Mistika were ugly, and didn't all those people get at least one of the Mistika? ;) You shouldn't judge a set by pictures only.

Same opinion 'bout the Cendox here. It looks awesome.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 01:55:57 pm
Yeah, the Cendox is easily better than the 'FLYING STICKS OF GENERIC SHADOW MATORAN' :P

And I have noticed Kiina has a custom torso... but just doesn't look right. I even prefer Berix over both him/her and Tarix. And that's saying a lot for Berix.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 15, 2009, 02:36:04 pm
Whoa... That IS saying a lot for Berix 0_o


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 03:07:40 pm
I know, and he's an av-toran copy. ::)
IMO: Blue canisters fail, Blue Agori Win.
Saying a lot.

Out of all five vehicles, Skopio and Kaxium are my favourites. Then comes cendox, then Baranus, then Thornatus.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 15, 2009, 03:17:18 pm
Well, in story the Av-Toran are the copies ::)

Wow... xD If I get Kiina, it'll probably be so I can actually build a blue Toa-mod that doens't look like Gali Mistika and have silver >_>

WHich one's the cycle again?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 03:27:30 pm
Kaxium's the cycle.
And I guess then Tanma is a near copy of Berix.

But those agori in the Kaxium seem to be complete clones of Berix-the only difference is that they ride a vehicle and have silver helmets.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 15, 2009, 03:57:08 pm
Meh, more Blue parts for me =P

Oh, Berix has the type of parts Tanma has? Nice, I didn't get him.

I think I'm gonna try and get Kaxium and the thing that's not a stick that the Red agori guy rides.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 04:03:58 pm
Berix has solek's arms for legs.

As for Skopio and Mata Nui... MUST WANT.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 15, 2009, 04:32:33 pm
1. Nice, I only got Vican...

2. Same here, except I know I'll never be getting Skopio, so I know that's out of the question =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 04:48:07 pm
I just got Vorox and Strakk.
Voroxrz my soxorz :P

Strakk has a bit of a strange color scheme... Metru Blue lower arms, white lower legs.
However, I just noticed that the Cendox Agori has Bohrok feet, and the Baranus Pilot Agori has Shoulder armor.
Kaxium Agori are actually different from each other, but they have the same helmet.
Thornatus and Skopio actually have Glatorian-not Agori.
Seems that smaller vehicles have agori, bigger ones have Glatorian.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 15, 2009, 04:55:20 pm
1. *Is jealous*

2. Interesting about the Agori, and the Strakk point is pretty cool, while strange as you say.

3. Hey, you guys here about who they're getting to voice Mata Nui? Rakoua'll love this guy, mostly because of his previous role =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 15, 2009, 05:07:36 pm
Yes I have heard about who's voicing Mata Nui... who in Karzahni is Micheal Dorn?! From BZP I learnt that he had a role in Star Trek...

And IMO, the DVD Box art looks amazing.

Now who's voicing the other characters? Probably hasn't been revealed yet.
I hope the movie is not as bad as the other 3.
Mata Nui+Vastus+Skopio+Gresh+Fero and Skirmix+Ackar+Vorox+Skrall+Stronius+Gelu+
Cendox+Kaxium=Instant win for me.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Takua was annoying. But I always seemed to like Jaller's, and I just found out why; he was the voice actor for Megaman.exe on Megaman NT Warrior and a few other things, like some of the Inuyasha characters in the anime =P

Jaller's voice actually fit him, which was good.

In order of best to worst sets(based on pictures only):

Skopio
Kaxium
Green Canister
White Canister
Red Canister
Cendox
Black Canister
Baranus
Thornatus
Mata Nui (he moved up...)
Blue Canister

Although things may change, this is right now, after reviewing the sets...

Yeah... if it's a shield, why is it split?
Are they gigantic scissors? I know how he uses his Thornax Launcher... but how will the inhabitants react to his mask power? And did anybody notice that in the beginning of the teaser, Bara Magna and its two moons are surrounded by what seems to be... clouds(?) that make up the UDD Symbol.

This is all very intriguing to me...

They messed up there... isn't Bara Magna in the middle?
I really want to see a full body shot of Mata Nui in the Movie, and not just the Ignika version or a close up of his torso and mask.

Alright, animation isn't perfect yet.
And from what I've heard from Greg Viewing the first third of it, it has EXPLOSIONS 8D and very crisp animation that makes the other 3 look like they were made by kids.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I know. If the 2010 and 2011 movies are like this, I'm definitely getting them as well as this.

If LEGO release a combiner including ALL of the vehicles, then we'll be getting the largest BIONICLE model ever.

We'd get MOAR EXPLOSIONS 8D.

Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 06:49:40 am
Oh... but Bink is the webmaster of both BIONICLE.com and Bioniclestory.
It's probably stressing to be the webmaster of two sites... and considering the LMBs... remember the low intelligence members that said BIONICLE was ending in 08?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 17, 2009, 07:26:33 am

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Yeah, I know. Even when Bink made a Topic about BIONICLE continuing, they still ignored.
Some didn't even believe he was the webmaster.
Although with their movie spectulation about it being 'its abote 2006 stoorilines!!1!!1" can get really annoying... wait, they are already annoying. (seen the topic 'BIONICLE ROLE PLAY'?)

Glatorian Arena... Glatorian... Legends... Movie... so many epic things this year... at least for me.

The BLMBs are just so annoying.

But let's get back on topic.

Has anyone noticed that Skopio sort of resembles a Four-Legged Insect?
And that Vastus is MATA RED and ORANGE, Tahu Mata's original Color scheme.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 17, 2009, 01:58:53 pm
*Cough* Vastus isn't Mata Red and Orange, he's Metru Green and Limegreen =P Now, Ackar on the other hand, is Tahu Nuva as he should've been LAST year =P Like, he'd've fit in more last year, not saying I disliked Tahu, he's a very good set that I happen to like very much =) ... I'll stop talking now.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Hansolo996 on February 17, 2009, 02:17:54 pm
yes, exactly. They get the colors messed up. :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 17, 2009, 02:21:21 pm
I guess 2008's silver line of sets was to prepare us for original colours to be reintroduced. The fact that many sets use brighter colours is great. Ackar's weapon is pretty cool, but his head looks way too much like Berix', and may even be Berix' helmet thingy. That will look wierd. A really small head on a canister set.

I think we all agree that Skopio is a great set, and the fact that the functions are really big functions(it transforms!!!) makes it even better. But the build looks like it may be repetitive... which may be a downside. But the rider has new colour scheme right? That's good.

@Blade: Tahu needed more red on him. With more red he would've been great.

And Vastus has two eyes... i think someone said he had only one eye a few pages back, but after looking through pics it seems he's got a large mouth and two small eyes.

And I don't care if Blue canister has custom torso its still awful to look at...

yeah,, It's hard to tell.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 02:30:38 pm
Considering the fact that Vastus has a reader that involves him as the Main Character, I think he will be the summer set with the least summer story.

And I think we can all guess: Mata Nui will be the Summer Set Poster Image.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 17, 2009, 02:34:28 pm
The new arm pieces will be one of the greatest pieces for MOCers. You could attach armour in a completely different way with those things. And the lower leg/ankle armour is a good idea too.

Thornatus has a huge wheel on the back. The thing is massive. Cendox looks really good to.


KZ: Having Vastus be a lead summer set in storyline would be like having a leader all over again, except this time having green stand out instead of red. Winter so far seems to focus on the colour green. Tarduk leads a starring role in his serial, Gresh is the poster image nearest the front, and the main character that is followed around, and Tuma, leader of the "bad guys" has his secondary colour as green... I'm kinda glad Vastus won't be an upfront character in summer. I hope its Ackar or the white one... after Mata Nui of course...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 02:41:09 pm
I was saying Vastus will have the least Storyline Significance out of the summer sets... although I probably didn't get your post's messages that well.
And I agree, the new leg pieces will be great for MOCers. Now if they could only do it for the Double Socket...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 17, 2009, 02:43:31 pm
Sorry if it was confusing. I was agreeing ( i think) with your statement that green won't be a leading role, but backing it up with info as to why it won't (such as all the winter green sets having big roles)...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 02:48:14 pm
Ah.

It's pretty obvious from the Movie Info that Mata Nui is the leading role in the summer story, but who has the second major role?
Hopefully it will be Ackar or Gelu.
Probably not Stronius, since he's a Skrall, and probably a Skrall Commander at that.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 17, 2009, 03:01:55 pm
Um... I think Ackar's Mask is Berix's mask... Looks like it to me. *Watches as the secondary char turns out to be Kiina* =-P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 03:20:48 pm
Greg did say that Kiina is the Female set... and that the Female character plays a big role in the story... so you may be right, Blade.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 17, 2009, 03:35:36 pm
If it does, I expect you guys to not be that happy of course, since Kiina is the water set and all... =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 03:38:36 pm
Kiina being the Water set... that is cliche in BIONICLE. Why can't she be a Purple and Teal Set?
I noticed... the Skopio pilot has a Grey Avtoran Body but Glatorian-like Limbs.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 17, 2009, 03:45:49 pm

Oh great, here comes Bitil again =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 17, 2009, 03:47:49 pm
Rats. That means Bitil proportions all over again...   Just saw Blade's post. lol same  thought except I took too long to post :P

Please don't make Kiina the secondary character...

Okay, so namewise, is this correct:

Kiina:blue
Gelu:white
Vastus:green
Stronius:black
Ackar:Red
Mata Nui:Yellow (eww :p )


Ackar has a terrible name IMO (i'm full of complaints about the sets lately...) It sounds so blunt and boring. Vastus and Stronius, now there are good names. Gelu is nice, and Kiina has Bionicle written across it.
I wonder when the vehicle rider names will be released, probably near summer. Some people speculate that the riders of Cendox and Kaxium are Agori from RotGB, but then we're left with Baranus(who may also be from RotGB), Thornatus and Skopio.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 17, 2009, 03:51:45 pm
Ackar=Akbar=IT'S A TRAP!

And Mata Nui's colour is supposed to be gold in the story, but if you read the Set Designer's interview, it may shed light on why he's not Gold set-wise. Or, it may just be for Toyfair.

Yeah, that's right.

*Knew ZLS was gonna have that thought 'bout Kiina*

Agori Glatorian Thing in SKopio=BAD PROPORTIONS
Glatorian in Thornatus=Bit of jumbled Proportions...
All other pilots= Okay Proportions

Have you noticed the Cendox Agori is a near-clone of Vultraz? Except for the Feet and Helmet.
Why couldn't they have given Ackar Orange or Mata Red Hands? Mata Red Hands come in Skrall, why not here? Grey Hands mess up his color scheme.
And one thing I'm dissapointed with: In EotS, it said Spikit were big enough to Swallow Skrall whole.
The set spikit doesn't look like it can do that.

It isn't, but it's similar.

The set spikit doesn't look like it can do that.

1. Yeah, but its made up for by having a kewl new colour
2.Thornatus reminds me of Jetrax. And Jetrax has a red rider. With jumbled proportions.
3.All the others are Agori. I can't tell if Kaxium riders have those 90 degree bent arms and legs or not.

4.I think I mentioned that a while back. Cendox is better though. Cooler and less stick like vehicle.
5.For the same reason they gave Malum bleh pieces. To annoy us or to cut costs maybe...
6.Oh well. We get an animal at least, and the head pieces look okay. Maybe its like a snake that can eat things with larger dimentions than its mouth by seperating tis jaw bones... Probably what Greg would say if you asked him, or something close to that. Or he was exaturating (sp. I know that's wrong.)

ZSL:That's some good theorizing.
Now that I look at Thornatus from the front... it looks less like jetrax to me.
It's just the opening wheels and Bitil Wing made me think it was like Jetrax... but it's Tan... four Midaks... huge wheel... Thornax...
FoT(R): Berix's Helm has a Fire-like back as well.

KZ: I own a pet snake, that's what made me think of that...

And yes, after seeing Thornatus from the front it looks a lot less like Jetrax. And the Berix/Ackar discussion, I'm pretty sure they use the same helmet/mask thingy. I always thought that Raanu and Berix should have switched masks. Raanu's looks like it has gills, and Berix' as in this discussion has flames... wierd.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 04:25:02 pm
Skopio has a similar cockpit as well, but it's not Jetrax.

Although IMO, it would be epic if they had a Skopio and Axalara Combiner.
I'm Liking Thornatus more and more... Vehicles in order of Favorites:

WORST:
Baranus

Okayish:
Thornatus
Kaxium

EPIC:
Cendox(for a small vehicle, I'd say they pulled it off well, better than Vultraz)

Oooh, I see it now... Definetly the same...
Berix would look better as a fire set now.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 04:31:30 pm
If Berix was Fire set, Ackar wouldn't have a recolored helm.
Although Considering Berix has Water sword resembling a Fire Sword... that is confusing.

Baranus isn't too chariot like... but the Agori has Arm Armor... and he does whip the spikit... He could be a Rock Agori, considering that Skrall have them.

He would actually, I think they just accidentally forgot they already made a fire Agori, so they slapped blue and gold on him instead =P

That could be a possible explanation for Berix...

I know. :P  =P

But if Berix was completely Tan and Brown... Tan where the Mata Blue is, Brown where the Light Blue is...

I hope Mata Nui gets to pilot a combiner/alternative vehicle if there are any...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Hansolo996 on February 17, 2009, 05:09:16 pm
sheesh. These are good ideas. Mata Nui would look great on a speeder... and look much like mask-of-life guy. (I forget his name...)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 05:15:01 pm
That'd be Toa Ignika.

I noticed they have a near-same color scheme.
Toa Ignika was Yellow, Black and Silver. Mata Nui is Black and Yellow.
Notice the similarity?

If Mata Nui rides a Vehicle... please let it be a big one. Or a Combiner(SKOPIO+AXALARA)

Greg said that the reason for Mata Nui's colors is the way his Toa form comes into being.
He said Yellow OR Gold would be the only ones that made sense. Why couldn't they make him Yellow AND Gold then?
That would be a lot more awesome...

That's what we mean, why not have it be gold, but if Lego can't produce that much gold colouring... ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 17, 2009, 05:48:22 pm
Gold must be expensive then.

IMO, they shouldn't have used it on Tarix, and give him silver instead.
Then they could use it on Mata Nui.

Question: Why don’t you produce more chrome gold or silver elements?

Answers:

    * All: Cost. Cost cost cost. It’s very very expensive.
    * MTJ: We’d like to use them, but it’s dreadful expensive.
    * JD: Absolutely we’d like to use these colors. The chrome elements we don’t use mostly because of the plastics we use. It’s only very few of them we can chrome.
    * AS: It’s an order of magnitude more expensive.
    * MTJ: It costs a lot.
    * JD: Where do you want to use the money? On more elements, or add another shield or something?
    * CR: It’s verdammt teuer.
    * KM: I get the impression there’s an additional cost.

... Wait, did you think I don't have Bio sets at all? I've got most of the sets from last year(Lewa, Pohatu, Kopaka, Mutran and Vican, Ignika, Krika, Gorast, Tahu, Gali, Onua, and Takanuva) except the winter Makuta, Icarax(GRRAAAH >_< I wanted him badly for his Kraakhan, which probably won't be out again because of it's fate >_>), Bitil, and the Vehicles. I AM going to get Gresh and Mata Nui for sure. Just if I definitely will, or if it's just a wild dream that won't happen, or when, that I don't know.

Since I have all of the sets from 07 and 08(not counting brickmasters since I CAN'T get them), I'm trying to get all of the sets this year.
I'm a lucky person.

Really?
I've been collecting since 03, although not every set of 03-06 but every set of 07-08.
I hope the winter 010 sets are better than the glatorian...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 18, 2009, 02:24:01 pm
09 collection:

Glatorian: 4/6
Titans: 1/2
Agori: 0/6

Glatorian Legends: 0/6
Vehicles: 0/5

For winter I'm probably not getting anymore sets, unless I come into extra cash and get Berix. I'm saving for Skopio and possibly Kaxium. And three legends...

On the subject of since when we've been collecting, I got Pohatu Mata in 01, along with every other toa in 01. Then I didn't get any sets until 2004...
I got every set in 07 except for the playsets, and most 08 sets, excluding matoran and the two winter titans, Vultraz and Mazeka...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Sorry, you misunderstood again. I got most of the 08 sets except for the winter titans and vultraz and mazeka. I got toa ignika and tanma though too...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 18, 2009, 02:28:30 pm
Yep =P Except there were three Winter Titans =P

I've got 5 of the original Bohrok(All 'cept Tahnok >_<), 3 McToran(Matoro, Maku, and Kongu), 1 MoLToran(Hahli), all of the Toa Mata, all of the Toa Nuva, Jaller Mahri, Pridak, Defilak, Ehlek, and the ones I just mentioned. Notice a pattern?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 18, 2009, 02:33:42 pm
Sorry, I don't notice a pattern...

I have 3 bohrok and a rahkshi, only because I was lucky enough to find them at garage sales years later(I found a rahkshi in 07 or 08). The great things is they were only selling for a buck each ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2009, 02:35:49 pm
I notice no pattern...

Summer wishlist:

Top Priority:
Mata Nui
Vastus
Skopio
Kaxium
Gelu

Medium Priority:
Stronius
Ackar
Thornatus
Cendox

Lowest Priority:
Kiina(bleh)
Baranus(color scheme)

And on BZP, Greg said there is a Titan version of Toa Mata Nui! Just a bit bigger than Takanuva... in the OGD... on BZP... I hope the Titan is Gold...



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 18, 2009, 02:41:34 pm
Is it going to be released? If it is, I can bet you now it'll be a Store exclusive and win =P Unless it's a combo... And the pattern is that I skipped from 2004 to 2007 =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 18, 2009, 02:45:24 pm
Maybe this titan Mata Nui will be better than yellow and ugly can set...

Okay, summer wishlist:

Skopio
Vastus
Gelu
Ackar(even if I hate his name)
Kaxium
Stronius
Cendox

aaannd. That's it. Maybe Titan Mata Nui if he looks cool. Maybe.

Thornatus would really blow my budget, Baranus is just an okay set. It doesn't scream out Awesome or Super Cool or anything. You already know my opinion on Mata Nui and Kiina...


Blade: If its a store exclusive it had better not be a target exclusive >:(

I skipped 02 and 03... why'd you skip 04-07?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2009, 02:45:59 pm
Greg said it will be a set... it'll probably be like Takanuva, Only GOLD and black. And a store exclusive. And WIN.

Lucky...

I hope Mata Nui titan has a colour scheme of: gold mask, tan torso, legs and arms, and gold armouring. Then I could: get Mata Nui, get Tan pieces, and get a gold Ignika! I hope its not yellow or keetorange. Maybe the Skopio rider colour with gold...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Pahrak-Kal in 06? 0_o That's pretty late.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 18, 2009, 02:52:03 pm
Fell out of Lego for a bit. Kept an eye on the storyline, but didn't get any sets. I wanted to get back in in '06, but I couldn't, and only got 4 sets in '07.

... Win. Ok, then, Mata Nui and Gold Mata Nui are my sets for the summer =P Maybe the other vehicle if I can.

ZLS: C'mon, give it a chance, I think we just found out why he's yellow set-wise. Plus, it doesn't look too bad, and it was Ignika's colour scheme and no-one complained. Or is it because you had high hopes for a can because it was named Mata Nui...? Just wondering about your reasoning. Besides, if Gold Mata Nui's like Takanuva, he won't share anything with a normal can probably =P

'07. Now my post count matches... XD
ZLS: No, they won't do that. Gold and anything brown or yellow go horribly together, IMO. They just look messy. I tried it once, and it didn't look good... I'd like it, for MoCs, but the target audiance wouldn't, as they don't like MoCing.

The yellow mask is really annoying. It just blends in too much and ends up looking wierd. In some pics where I can see the canister he looks somewhat better, but he just looks wierd. Plus I don't really like keetorange... Mata Nui would have been better if they could have changed a feww things on him, like less keetorange and more black parts. The silver blade shield thingy he holds is odd, but it adds variety to his color scheme and I would have prefered more silver (ohmygoshnotlike08butabitmore). And his shoulder armour overuses that weapon. His upper leg armour is way too small for him and makes his proportions way off. And that keetorange mask...

I hope they don't mess up the Titan Mata Nui color scheme like they did with Tarix...

I like Tarix. Even if he has no proper chest armour and has odd mata blue hands and feet that don't match. The spikes on his shoulders and the water blades are cool even if he does reuse the inika design completely...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2009, 03:18:21 pm
I like Tarix... it's just that he has one too many colors, and I was referring to the Silver and Gold, which don't go together well.
Remove the silver and replace with gold and he'll be better, IMO.
If they could've got a gold mahri tube, gold spikes and gold thornax launcher parts...

Mostly I read the OGD, Greg and Bink's blogs, and a few storyline and theory topics. I mostly go there for Bio news though, and for the occasional Kaxix Banner :)

I hate CAD pricing. 14.99 is way to much for a canister set... and whatever the price for an agori is just absurd... As it is, Skopio is gonna be $110 or more. Andthen tax :-\

Actually, whatever price Skopio was when he was first introduced in that thing is the CAD price i think, since it was from CTV News IIRC.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I think it said 110... good thing its not US prices, otherwise there's no way I could afford it


EDIT: funny thing, I only now saw the Skopio function. I overlooked it before.

But I also noticed that on Thornatus, along with FOUR MIDAK SKYBLASTERS(FOUR?!?), it has two silver Krika heads as wheel guard thingys. And it has a function as well(who knew?). The wheels on the side stretch in and out(I think). That makes Thornatus rise in the coolness category. Although Skopio is much more WIN ;D

Glatorian Arena Info on BZP.

I'm looking foward to it... except that Spikeball challenge, mainly because B6 himself couldn't figure out how to play.
Four areas... the Outskirts... the Arena... what looks like a hub where you upgrade your character... and the spikeball match.

I'm thinking that this is one of the bestest games on LEGO.

Skopio rider's helmet appears to be a spikit head on backwards...

1. Yeah, that's win. ZLS: Kiina and the one I'll be playing as? =P

2. Yeah... =/ Ah well, I have to wait for a game I want anyway...

3. I agree very much.

ZLS4. Really? Interesting...

Skopio's pilot has a Spikit head on backwards? Aw. And I thought he had a new one.

Guys, Crotesius and Scodonius from RotGB will be in sets. I'm betting Crotesius is piloting Cendox and Scodonius is in the Kaxium.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 19, 2009, 02:50:05 pm
Cendox... That's the one that has similarities to Vultraz, right?

Quote from: Binky
Thanks for the good review, B6 smile.gif

A couple of clarifications, just so you don't expect more than what's there.

    * The stairs won't lead anywhere.
    * We initially wanted to put blockers in the game, but decided against it for performance reasons. We wanted the game to be playable by as many people as possible, so we're using a subset of the Unity features and keeping the on-screen resources as clean as possible.
    * As B6 surmised, each character has their own fighting style. The first league starts easy on purpose... trust me, it gets more challenging in later leagues smile.gif
    * Once you unlock a league, you get another character to play. The only Glatorian you won't be able to play as will be Skrall, since he's the boss for each level. But if you do the math, you get to play as five characters against the other five characters. By my math, that's 125 unique matches for you to play, so if you want, you can keep busy with this for a while.
    * Glad I'm not the only one who had problems with the Spikeball game. The developer and our QA department both thought it was fine. Guess time will tell.
    * The game delivered to LEGO World and Toy Fair is basically the full game, the final version will have some minor bugs fixed and some other things cleaned up, but no new features.
    * The game will initially be launched on BIONICLE.com and BIONICLE.co.uk in English, and within a few weeks it will be released on all local language web sites. At that time, a downloadable version with all languages will be available for Mac and PC. (The translations are taking a little longer than expected.)
    * The online version will require a Unity plugin. It's 3MB and takes 1 click to install - easier than installing Flash, actually. But we realize not everyone will want to install Unity, so we'll have the downloadable versions, which don't require you download the plugin.
    * The final web version was just delivered a couple of hours ago. Now it goes through implementation and final testing for launch next week with any luck.

... Some of that is good, like the web version up by next week hopefully, but something tells me there won't be the stuff we were expecting, and that the stairs won't be going anywhere, which is a little bit of a downer.

Now, excuse me, I have to go figure out where I can get this plugin...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 19, 2009, 03:14:37 pm
Yay, I already have Unity player.
I wish the stairs went somewhere, like you could view replays of Matches you have fought there and there could be the summer Agori there(in the summer update, if there is one).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 19, 2009, 03:23:10 pm
Yeah... But who knows, maybe if they update it eventually, maybe it'll be part of the updates...?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 19, 2009, 03:31:39 pm
Those who don't have Unity can dowload it as well for offline play.

Which is good, considerring not everyone wants to download unity.

About what? Glatorian Arena? Info is on BZP.

They shoulda put Blockers in the game... that would have been useful in the later stages, such as silver and gold.

Yeah, but they didn't want to decrease performance, but really, I doubt many would have minded four things on the screen at the same time.

About the Skopio rider head thingy, I can now get Skopio and a Spikit head for MOCing. Still dissapointed that its not a new head though... but that means the head pieces is reversable like the Mask of Life on Vezon :)

GA is finally coming. And it doesn't look like its coming with an mln update :P (ha!)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 19, 2009, 06:26:59 pm
It would be nice if Raanu awarded you something for being in the 'Gold Status' in GA.

Thornatus's Tan and loads of Vorox and Zesk... I can imagine a Tan and Black Titan now... and the Pilo colors go better with the Vehicles this year... except Baranus'...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 19, 2009, 06:32:47 pm
Pilo?

And it's not released yet, so they could wait to release an update then ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 19, 2009, 06:37:56 pm
I think he meant pilot... But how does the Baranus rider not go with his chariot? Anything goes with black... the spikit and the rider is a different story though...

Now if only they could release more original colours. So far they've released tan and mata blue, as well as lime green. With Ackar we'll have mata red and orange.

Blade: Okay, but when it gets released we'll see :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 19, 2009, 06:49:28 pm
Yeah, I did mean Pilot.
ZSL:We have Mata Blue, Mata Red, Lime Green, orange, light blue. If the Mata Shades of Gray come back, then yay. And Mata Brown.
I hope Vorox and Zesk sell well... then we'll be seeing more Tan sets.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 19, 2009, 08:01:37 pm
I hope that Ackar, Berix, Vorox and Zesk sell well. Berix has many mata blue pieces, and Ackar has good fire mata colours.

2009is becoming reminiscent of 2001, with the brighter colour shades, elemental backgrounds, mysterious plot, and the large sets all having somewhat complex builds. And we start off with a few animals too... 2009 is great work done by Lego, and if they continue we may have very good sets in upcoming years. I am very pleased with the vehicles, and most of the sets that have been produced for Bionicle this year, although some have obvious flaws (not mentioning any names...). The only downside is that, like 2001-2002, we will soon have no books for Bio. Greg said something about finishing the last book that has been planned, and that is one of the 09 books.
This is one thing I will miss a lot, as even with web serials, the entire story is not complete unless in book format... :'(


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 20, 2009, 05:45:49 am
No Books? I don't like that. Unless Greg puts the story into one big serial for 2010, which is unlikely.

Oh, so you're one of the ones that likes sets with pre-bent arms and legs, and limited articulation, but with gears to almost fully articulated sets that are getting functions back?

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 25, 2009, 08:20:19 pm
Game Shmame (is booed by everybody...). It sounds cool, but it'll have to wait. Part three of pics came up, and they are awesome.

Cendox has risen in epicness, we its now confirmed that Crostesius rides it(cool!). The treads on the back are nice, and it appears to come with Kiina's shoulder/thigh armour in yellow. The abundance of yellow is cool. Crostesius himself is basically vultraz, with different feet and head...

Kaxium is basically the same as before, but the price on it seems okay... sadly though, it does not seem to have many new pieces... the two agori that it comes with are cool though, and they are different.

Baranus is still worst. The chariot is boring, the Spikit is not designed very well, and the orange rider looks wierd (though he does have a great Thornax/spear combination). Speaking of the rider; Sahmad!?! That's got to be the worst name in Bionicle history... He's evil though, which may add a nice touch. Althouhg how he'll strike fear into opponents is unknown, as he looks the same size as an agori... unless he's a bone hunter... but I don't think he is a bone hunter.

Thornatus may be the set that changed the most for me. The function actually being shown here makes it very cool, and the abundance of tan and recoloured pieces is great. Perditus, the rider, has a decent name(better than Sahmad), although he looks bland. But the vehicle itself is quite cool. Definetly not getting this set. Costs too much, sadly...

SkopioXV-1 is still the coolest set, and is even better with newer and better pics. Telluris, the rider's name, is a great name, and the description provided gives it an epic and ominous aspect. The function is the largest funtcion out there, as it changes shape, and the fact that the 'stinger moves up and down is cool. The one thing I don't like on this set is the hand that holds the Thornax. But that is one very small and minor aspect, and it will not be of any real concern. The treads are really cool, and the set seems to have many new or interesting pieces. Even if Telluris' head is a backwards Spikit head its still cool.

I'll add more comments later, but this is an overview...

You can click your Glatorian to improve stats.

Copy him. :P
And get an edge. You have to aticipate him when he'll get out of healing, and the hit him with the heavy attack. While he heals, light attack. Keep your Thornax at ready. And don't forget... Set phasers to disintergrate!

xD I've tried everything, but the fact that when he hits, even though I block like 150% damage according to my stats, I still get half my HP bar taken out, and predicting won't help, he immediately backs away or goes into his own heavy attack. I barely even took out Silver Skrall...

I just did what I thought was impossible for me... I WON a Spikeball Match.

I tell you, play his game. In the beginning, try to recude his health by one point, so you have a defenite edge. Then you can play his game, attacking and then healing. Be sure to heal often.
But I tell you, by the time you reach Gold Strak, you'll wish you had gone into botany instead of glatorian...

Post by: Trijhak on February 26, 2009, 04:35:32 pm
Tarix always starts the matches against him with a Thornax attack...
I just noticed something: When you stop attacking/health regenerate, the opponent attacks. When you attack, that's what they do.

When they health regenerate, just put in a few heavy hits.
(although there is the Tarix Strategy above)
And I just got into veteran with Skrall. Now to do the same with Vorox.

Beat Strak. I was at 2, and I went crazy with my attacks... That must have hurt... *Points to fallen Strak on the ground* No kids, Strak isn't misspelled steak.

It's Strakk ::)

You don't really get anything for winning a Spikeball match... play them for the awards. I was relieved when I found that out... still... giving you XP Points would be nice, and if you can change your Character for it as well...

And I want them to expand the outskirts, and allow you to go the tribe's village arenas for different typesof combat. But then again, it did say in the credits this was Glatorian Arena V1.01.

GA is hard... I lost to the first Tarix six times in a row... then I finally understood that x and c were two different moves...

I think I'll go play some more...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 27, 2009, 02:11:40 am
Yes, the controls are a bit confusing and the 'visual representation' isn't very good.
I thought X and C created a move, I was wrong. 2 seconds after I learned they were different moves.
X is Light Hit, C is Heavy Hit. V i charge up thornax(you must be a good distance away)

Yeah. But continue in the topic now, I guess.

And is the Thornatus pilot an Agori... or Glatorian?
We know the Baranus' pilot is evil, since it is ' teh eevil sahmad!1!!1'
We know Crotesius is like any other Agori, but what about the Kaxium Pilots? And Skopio Pilot, too.

Kaxium pilots are agori I think. Probably Scodonius or however you spell it. And Skopio's pilot is a Glatorian, I think. Although I'm not sure, it could be another creature  :-\

Telluris could be a Two-legged Zesk that just so happen to be the only Sand tribe member that didn't go into a more primitive state =P

Which mystery set? From the map, the one with the question mark? If so, that is Mata Nui >_> If you mean from the last one of 2008, that's Mata Nui, because that's the RC, it's just not his actual body, just a placeholder.

I hope Telluris is not a Zesk. If he is a sand tribe member I hope he is a powerful Vorox, although I really hope he's just a unique character...

And for Kaxium pilots I hope that Scodonius is one of them. Hopefully the one in control, although the one in the side car has a nicer body colour...
I think he was talking bout the comic... Mata Nui hasn't even arrived in the story yet.

Gresh is cooloer when he has the split swords, although his legs become way to small when you do that. Sadly he won't have split swords in storyline...
Strakk has the collest weapon. And the best torso design.

Yeah, he is cooler with the swords. But, his shield's good for blocking when firing Thornax. ... Of course, I assume that from the pics... =/

gresh ROCKS IN STERO!!!!!!!!! (was that lame ? ) but he looks better if u swap his arm & leg armor. my dad considers him a cross between spiderman and the green lantern.

tarix. tarix is... shorter than expected. - but still rocks. gold rocks!  slap on some extra zamor rads on the bottom of his blades so they look a little like spears. and BTW, there is no way to make him have both water blades and his thornax launcher all at the same time and not look stupid.  :-\

I think that's a repeat. I love his torso. Really innovative dsign for the shoulder armor there.
His design fits his personality, IMO. Those legs look fast... they've got the sleek calws... and those arms look strong- He's fast and He's surprisingly strong, that's what his Bio says.

Strakk is more innovative. But Gresh is amazing (as has been said since back in 08 :P ). Gresh needs more armour though. His legs seem too small for his body and arms...

Vastus looks really cool, and I think he better incorperates the jungle theme, even if Gresh is amazing.

I don't know what it is, but even though he's green, Vastus isn't really as wanted for me... Maybe it's just the lack of armour on his chest and so, or the fact that his spear is just mostly parts we've seen before... I dunno.

Uh, Kiina is my least fav set, then Baranus or Mata Nui. Ackar is okay, but not many new pieces. Thornatus costs too much, although its looks like a good set. Stronius, Vastus and Gelu are my favourite canister sets, with Gelu leading. Skopio will be the first set I get, along with either Cendox  or two canister sets.

Vastus needs work on the legs. I really do not like the Hordika legs... Gelu is great, although the way he was posed at Toyfair(mainly his weapon arm) was not good. Stronius is cool looking, although again, Toyfair psoe was bad so it may change. Mata Nui is just... I dunno, I had higher expectations and I don't like the keetorange mask or the fact that his legs are really short and his arms are long... Kiina just has a bad torso, especially with the ball joint left open at the bottom. I like that the designers tried for a custom torso, but it did not go over well IMO...

Oh, you noticed the short legs too eh? I thought it was just my imagination. I wonder what the set designers were thinking when they decided to reverse proportions for Mata Nui? >_> And his Keetorange mask actually doesn't blend into his black torso, what angle you viewing it at? And you can't have high expectations for canister sets, haven't we had that proved LAST year with the Nuva? It's not gonna be pure awesomeness just because it's a huge character all the time... It's like trying to compare Glatorian Arena to a console game ;)

^True, very true, Blade.

If I was a great spirit that was just exiled fom his own Universe, I wouldn't be worried about my proportions. I'd be more worried about my own universe.

Actually the only sets I truly disliked last year were Pohatu Phantoka and Krika... And the mask blends in with the Onua Chest plate, which is another thing I don't like. The chest piece does not look good on the Inika bodies when its a different colour completely. It looks small and wierd.

I'm talking about everyone else who were disappointed, but you know what? If they were labeled something other than the Toa Nuva, everyone would've probably liked it more. They were just disappointed because they had uber huge expectations, and that's exactly what's happening with Mata Nui =/ And if the Onua Chest Plate was black, there'd probably be too much Black visible =/ And they can't use gold because it's expensive according to the Set Designers...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on March 03, 2009, 05:47:40 pm
Okay, he's a pretty good set overall, just some minor flaws that I would change. He's kinda like Vastus: I like Vastus, you don't, and vice versa for Mata Nui. And you're right about the Nuva point. Silver and Bleh were overused last year, but some sets, like Tahu and Kopaka, were still great sets.
Overall, I think Mata Nui needs more silver, or less keetorange. A silver mask would've been cool, if he had more silver armour(ie. switch his silver weapon with the armour.) They should also switch his arms and legs.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on March 03, 2009, 05:49:41 pm
Switching his arms and his legs?
I think that arm armor would really restrict his posability if it were to be on his legs.

I was thinking more that they should switch his legs and arms, not the armour on them. His upper arms have three holes in them, while his upper legs have only one hole, making him an easy target for BZPers who want sets to have good proportions...

And RotGB was good, although I'm dissapointed that the agori who decided not to go decided not to go... I like that one...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on March 03, 2009, 06:05:03 pm
True on the Vastus/Mata Nui point =P And the Silver mask probably didn't happen just because we already had a silver Ignika last year.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on March 03, 2009, 06:05:46 pm
I dunno, make different small arm pieces to match the new long ones :P

I don't care about new leg pieces, since they've just about done all those, new arm pieces with the ability to turn the arm realistically =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on March 04, 2009, 10:53:17 am
Is turning them realistically even possible? 0_o

Because they are not Humans. Want something with Human Proportions? Buy yourself.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on March 04, 2009, 11:31:20 am
Meh, probably not =P

But, there IS a way to make human proportions possible, since even on the Vahki leg there's parts that are just unused. If they just make a piece the same length as the upper joints MN uses for his legs, those would be for arms, and one of the other leg pieces we've got now(Maybe the Inika thing?) for the leg, with one of the longer upper joints. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

What they need is a skinnier Vahki leg that could be used as an arm, as I don't know anyone with an arm tha big...
I don't care about new leg pieces, since they've just about done all those, new arm pieces with the ability to turn the arm realistically =P
What do you mean? how is it unrealistic now? They move back and forth and don't bend oddly at the elbows...

I mean able to turn the arm at the lower part of it, since you move your whole arm when you turn your hand. maybe if they do this piece they could also make it Hagah-like at the wrists? But I doubt that'll happen.

If you're thinking about Malum, he's got the double metru socket while all the others have the Visorak Triple Socket.

Post by: Blade on March 05, 2009, 11:46:10 am
It's true what Teridax jsut said about the Vahki Legs, I just compared the Vahki Leg from Ehlek to the Metru Leg from Ehlek, and they're the exact same size...

Which is a shame, because I liked it and thought it was shorter, and used it as an arm because of that. =P

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on March 05, 2009, 06:24:03 pm
Telluris is in a new color?
I must get, And BTW, as long as the current focus group likes the launchers, there will always be launchers.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on March 05, 2009, 06:36:12 pm
I don't know for a fact that he's a new colour, but it looks like it to me...

The focus group needs to change... they like wierd things...

Cendox is now a must have, simply because he has Crostesius, and he has mata yellow Kinna armour. Kaxium doesn't look that special to me. The wheels don't look very all terrain, and the overall design is somewhat bland. Out of the sets I plan to get, Kaxium will now be last on the list. I think the new order goes like this:
Skopio, Cendox, Vastus, Gelu, Stronius, Kaxium.

Ackar and Mata Nui Titan set are maybes( Ackar because he doesn't stand out much except for his mata red and orange, and Mata Nui Titan because its Mata Nui and will likely be better than canister M Nui.)

Out of the entire 2009, I think Vastus' upper arm armour or Strakk's axe are my favourite new pieces. Gelu's mask is also pretty cool, as is Telluris' mask (even if it may be a backwards Spikit head). The new upper arm/leg (in Kiina's case) pieces are also really cool.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on March 07, 2009, 01:36:51 pm
Yeah, Titans would need a cordak blaster/midak skyblaster to make it relatively well sized. Tuma looks wierd with a massive blade in one hand and a wimpy launcher in the other :P

I just found another reason to dislike Kiina as a set: She only has 43 pieces...
Piece count for the rest of the canister sets is:
Ackar: 55
Stronius: 55
Gelu: 52
Vastus: 52
Mata Nui: 52

Yeah, I noticed that too. But Krika had much larger pieces than Morak, and came in a plastic canister, unlike Morak who came in a cardboard box( the good old days of well priced small sets...).
Lego could easily cut back on much of the price of sets if they decided to nix the plastic canisters and go for the cardboard boxes. It wouldn't bother me too much, and with the small sets I'd actually prefer it.

Well... kinda. Baranus is either way overpriced, or well priced, in which case Kaxium is a steal if anyone ever gets it... But its because Titans used cardboard and not plastic in their packaging.

I agree that Baranus is overpriced. It only has 12 more pieces than Kaxium, yet it's a full 10 ___s more!
Kaxium is a lot more worth it...

Anybody notice how most of the Pilot Agori and Agori/Glatorian things have their own Life Counters?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on March 09, 2009, 02:36:35 pm
Only Sahmad and Crostesius have the counters attached to themselves... Telluris has two attached to the "stinger" of Skopio, Perditus has one above his head attached to the Thornatus, and the Kaxium pilots(Scodonius and someone?) have it attached to the side of the sidecar...

Cendox is growing on me more and more every time I see it. The treads look to be in exactly the right spot, and everything seems to fit in place(except for maybe the thornax launcher, but it still looks okay).

Couldn't find a pic from the back on B6's flickr page. But I got a pretty could side view for the side car, and the agori uses a Toa Newva/Av-Matoran connector piece to sit him in the Kaxium. That may or may not have been what you saw.

As to modifying sets; I don't. Except for one little tweak to Kardas. Oh, and I changed Ehlek's borken lime pieces with bleh pieces. It didn't look to bad, but it wasn't the same.
At BZP, there is however a good modification to Gresh in the Tarduk review. He has Inika Shoulder armour in lime(presumably from Rockoh), piraka leg armour, and pieces fo attach to the other end of his hand to create staffs instead of armblades. Pretty cool, and he got Tarduk's helmet.

my armmor suggestion fixes that.  ;D
That only seems to make them shorter, because in reality you are only changing the thinkness of the thighs. I wish he had bigger thighs too. I never liked the bitil legs... He should have been given lower tahu legs and upper piraka legs.

And, sadly, Telluris may have Keetorange... Too bad. Perditus and Sahmad look to have the same helmet ><
Both Kaxium riders have the same helmet too ><

Kiina's helmet colour does not go well with the rest of her body. Why could they have not gone with a colour that matched?

Eh, I don't mind. I find it good for MOCing.

I agree. And if she is a Female, why does she have the IMO, Glatorian head exposed? It does't suit a female Character that well.

Okay, I've decided to post a post describing my thoughts on each summer canister set, including why I like and dislike each of them. I will try to be fair and find as much good and bad for each set as possible...

I'll start this off with everyone but me's favourite canister set: Mata NUI!!11!!!1!

Okay, here goes:

Why I like him:
-Its Mata Nui
-New Ignika in helmet form
-The shield/upper arm armour piece is cool, and it comes in two different colours
-ankle armour!
-Not much silver
-Ice blue(like on Strakk) head piece

Why I dislike him:
-Too much Keetorange
-Legs are shorter than arms
-Thin waist
-Mask Blends in with torso armour too much
-Not much silver(yes, a pro and con. I think he'd look better with a bit more silver, kinda like Toa Ignika)

Okay, I did't put: No Gold as a con because we wouldn't complain about not getting a gold canister anyways, and we only complain cause its Mata Nui. So there, I complained about him a lot(and I still don't like him), but I found one more pro than con. I really tried to look at Mata Nui with the Glass Half full perspective :P


Aaaaaaaand moving right along up the ladder to the top: Gelu! (yay!)

Why I like him:
-White and dark blue go nicely together
-Many ice-like pieces (and a reason not to get Metus :P )
-Really well done mask
-His weapon is very kewl
-Ice blue head piece
-He just looks like a very well done set

Why I dislike him:
-He may be kinda short...

Can't find much to dislike about him. He's a great set, and mostly flawless. Definately a must have.


Vastus

Why I like him:
-Great upper arm armour
-Really well done mask
-The scythe is cool, as is the way he holds his weapon and thornax launcher as a staff
-Good colour scheme
-New upper arm pieces
-New use of inika thigh armour

Why I dislike him:
-The legs, well, I'll let Omi comment on them...
-New use of Inika thigh armour(once again, a pro and a con(just wait until Kiina...))
-Very 'bare' look to him overall
-A staff reduces possibility(as seen on six 03 sets...)

Overall, Vastus is balanced between good and bad. I very much like him though, and find that his upper body is very well designed, while his lower body(legs) need work. The Inika thigh armour thingy, well, its innovative(kinda), but he has a lack of armour because of it...


Kiina

Why I like her:
-...uhhh, custom torso...
-Nice mask DESIGN
-New upper arm/leg piece
-Good upper arm/leg armour

Why I dislike her:
-overall the set is terrible(sorry, that came out a bit harsh...)
-The mask does not match the set at all in the pictures I've seen
-Same arm and leg design
-The custom torso is bad from the looks of it
-open ball joint CLEARLY visible
-The colour scheme is not shouting it that its excellent, its crying cause (insert Omi quote here)

Okay, I really dislike this set. I have no comment for the weapon because I have yet to see a good picture of it. On the canister it looks nice, but then, so did Krika. I don't know what was going on when the designers picked the mask colour, but it was not a good choice...


Ackar

Why I like him:
-Mata red and orange
-Flame piece is very cool and fire-esque
-The hilt for the sword is cool
-A wide variety of recoloured pieces
-Ankle armour

Why I dislike him:
-Very few new pieces
-Hand colour
-The helmet looks small(and it belongs to Berix)

I like this set, but the amount of new pieces is somewhat low. Its a good set, but I'm not sure I'll get it.


Stronius

Why I like him:
-Club
-New armour piece?
-Mask is cool
-Colour scheme is very good

Why I dislike him:
-Short...
-club is not Bionicle-ish

I haven't got a good look at Stronius, so I can't comment too much. What I have seen so far is good, but I can't say too much about him yet.


And that about sums it up. This is based purely on toyfair pics and some other comments already. Fell free to agree or disagree with me.

the new Glatorian images make one change in my thoughts on the sets: Kiina looks amazing(although it may just be that the colours are blended and the background is great)...

Want: Skopio, Cendox, Gelu, Vastus and Maybe Stronius...

kiina looks better that ever. (tho i still don't like her)

MUST HAVE STRONIOUS!

GELU is a strong 2nd

Vastus has some sweet peices!

Akar still dosen't intrrest me that much.

Thornatus is SWEET! the driver- not so much.

skopio is EPIC but i won't be getting it. the driver is confusing - what is he- glatoran or agori?

Crotesius is cool ,and his vehicle is neat too.

caxiuim is intresting................... .

samhad (do you think fire or rock tribe) is cool, spikit is neat, chariot is neat too.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on May 18, 2009, 05:24:50 pm
Well, Greg is a good author...

I don't agree with you guys on who the traitor is though... I'm thinking it's... one of the summer sets... The rest of the winter sets don't really seem evil in any way(other than Malum, but he's not a Glatorian and he hates the Skrall...).



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on May 19, 2009, 10:53:46 am
Well, the glatorian I hope the traitor isn;t are:

Gresh (very unlikely with his personality)
Mata Nui (obviously)
Tarix (He could be... maybe by wanting to be at tajun in TFOA, he meant to see Tuna)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on May 19, 2009, 10:55:58 am
@ blade - well, i actually highly suspect a summer set too.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on May 19, 2009, 11:07:44 am
Seeing as it isn't that likeley with the Winter set's personalities (Berix was made to look like it, which makes it too obvious)

I'm guessing it's Ackar. Or Vastus. Or Kiina. Or Crotesius. Or Scodonius. Or Telluris. Or Peridutis.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Look on BZP, or BS01(Oh right, no Summer stuff yet >_>).

It was announced at Toy Fair if I remember right.

[spoiler]I still say Strakk's more likely, but seeing as we know nothing of the summer sets almost... Though, Gelu may fit, seeing as he's a retired Glatorian... And apparently just so happened to retire after the fall of Atero? Sorry, going on this from Memory... >_>''[/spoiler]

Well, this is an Alternate Bara Magna...

That could be likeley.. maybe in that universe, he knew Teridax was going to rebel and exiled him someplace?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Possible... Or just forced him out after he got back...

Might have done... although [spoiler] it does mention that MN let some of the species inside him live with the natives... he could've let those most heroic to go there while keeping the ones who are rebelling inside him.[/spoiler]

Yeah, I noticed while MLNO was down, and it's looking like Kiina is the new Gali Nuva... -_-' Why is it that when people get exactly what they ask for, they flame the thing? I don't get it...

Post by: mtmerrick on June 01, 2009, 12:14:53 pm
who knows? actually, i might end up getting her, just because she is BETTER than her other pics, as opposed to WORSE, like some others. i'm getting (in this order)

#1 stronoius (sp?) (the skrall)

#2 gelu or kiina (tied)

#4 mata nui.

# 5  vastus.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 01, 2009, 12:18:59 pm
I'd go Kiina or Mata Nui(I need the Blue pieces anyway, since I barely have any current Blue pieces. Mask's good too.), and the Ackar, then Gelu, and then the rest. My luck though, I'll only get one of the first two, if I'm lucky both, or none at all. =/

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 02, 2009, 09:36:29 am
... Those are the new Bionicle Glatorian Legends. Most of those pieces don't come in those molds, like the Gold Ignika molded for a Glatorian head, Vastus' mask and scythe piece, and Kiina's mask and fin pieces, and the upper limb pieces with the stuff on the side instead of holes on the front, like Mata Nui and co have. These are real. And really, it's not too early, because apparently the Inika were found around this time 3 years ago.(Not to mention the Winter sets in around November or December...)

The placements of MN's and Vastus' life counters are FAIL, but they can be modified to fit like on the winter Glatorian's. :)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 05, 2009, 11:48:11 am
... Wow, Vastus' back really is empty. =| I'm not sure what to think of him now... I do like the fact that he has those new upper limb pieces in Metru Green...

Also, has anyone seen the new Titan Mata Nui set? I think it looks pretty good, but there's always complainers in the crowd...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on June 05, 2009, 11:55:04 am
...Pure Horribility at its horriblest. It looks ugly, the waist is too thin, the neck is just too long, the arms are awkward and most of it is. The only good thing about it are the feet.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 05, 2009, 12:18:59 pm
KZ, do you happen to have both Toa Ignika and Takanuva 08? If you slap the Ignika on Takanuva, and imagine the neck moved up, that's the setup they've got going for them. And the arms are just C/Ped from Taka, with MN's new shoulder armour instead of the Takadox head. ;) And remember, we haven't seen the side yet, it could be that they were trying to get the set proportions in titan size.

I see what KZ means. It's not too inpressive looking. Neck's way too long.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 05, 2009, 01:06:49 pm
The neck's too long because they decided to put it up too high. There'd be no complaining about it if it was down one or two holes. Plus, it's probably the fact that the Gold/Yellow/Keetorange/whatever stands out against the black.

Last year they were £7.99 here in Britain, this year, £8.79. I still want to get a Mata Nui set though. Probably Mini Mata Nui, as I'll call him now.
TBD


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on June 07, 2009, 05:38:16 am
8.79 here isn't really that expensive...
Maybe it's because my area has a better income than the surrounding areas. Or not. At least I hope they're not raising prices anytime soon for BIONICLE.

Iconox: That's exactly my point. We've had it at $13 for years, and starting last year with the Mistika, the US had it at that too. And now we've had our prices rise again.

1. Nice pics Iconox. Maybe they'll be in my store soon...
2. Mata Nui Titan looks pretty good, aside from the fact that his head is small and his torso is skinny and his arms are Takanuva in keetorange... The feet look good and the torso is unique, so that kinda equals zero. He's better than normal Mata Nui though IMO
3. Canada always has terrible prices. Back in Feb Skopio's price was $119.99 CAD... (i'm still getting him tho.)
4. I'll probably only get Skopio, Vastus and Gelu. And possibly Cendox...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 07, 2009, 03:43:22 pm
Wow, someone actually agrees with me that he's good. Though, I think that Can Mata Nui is an equal for Titan Mata Nui in terms of how much I like them. ;)

2. Yeah... I want Gelu, Mata Nui(Both, which ain't gonna happen, I just have that feeling. >>), and the one that has Crotesius. Maybe Kiina for the blue pieces, which I lack.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 07, 2009, 06:29:53 pm
I myself would want her because with my new idea for an almost fully customized Toa/Glatorian, I would a) have more pieces to use, and b) not have to modify Kiina that much.

No, here, IIRC, the Piraka may have been 12.99. I was out of Lego during that time, so I can't be certain. And if I'm right, the Inika were 15 dollars. And now the Glatorian are $15 here.

Sometimes, I don't why people from a certain country complain when there's worse prices almost everywhere else.

Economy is bad. Prices are bound to be high. I also do not see how $8 to 13.50 is 50% more.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Dudebot5000 on June 08, 2009, 02:01:06 pm
It's actually a bit more than 50% more.

8/2 = 4+8 = 12 = 150%

13.50 =\= 12

uggg. CAD prices are always worse than US. I know there are worse places to buy them, but still... I had to pay almost $18 including tax for an Inika(I didn't buy any after that. The Inika were ridiculously priced, and weren't even that good set wise...)

... And yet we've had that since the Piraka or so. Now it's $15 here, so...

piraka were $9.50. glatorian legends are 13.50. thats quite a jump.
No, here, IIRC, the Piraka may have been 12.99. I was out of Lego during that time, so I can't be certain. And if I'm right, the Inika were 15 dollars. And now the Glatorian are $15 here.

Prika here: 13 USD. inika: 16 USD here in Taiwan.

Who's seen the new movie pics? (They're at BZP if you haven't).

Mata Nui looks okay, although the pictures must not all be final, because his mouth is different from pic to pic. Kiina looks uglier than her set form(I actually didn't thick it possible, but they found a way...)

and Click looks cute(kinda reminds me of the Hahnah crab(sp?))

@lionytai: that's what they are based upon...

@KZ: treads + transforming makes it better than Axalara... (although the building may get repetitive after building the first leg/tread, since there are four of them... but the entire thing looks amazing, and it should have great playability. And the amount of pieces is great, especially the amount of piston pieces. Titans should be easy to make with those things.)

I saw the picture. When it is on four legs, My guess is that it is suppose to look like a tank with no top.
(Skopio XV-1)

 Found something about Mata Nui at Brickipedia.

Mata Nui is the Great Spirit that watches over Metru Nui and the Matoran Universe. He was put into a deep sleep by Makuta Teridax. In early 2006, it was revealed that he was not just asleep, but dying. The Toa Nuva awakened him in 2008, but Teridax had taken control of his body when Matoro sacrificed himself when putting on the Ignika Mask of Life; saving Mata Nui's life. He was trapped inside the Ignika and shot away from the Matoran Universe, which is ironic because Teridax, like all the other people in 2007, had been chasing for the Mask of Life. Mata Nui's physical body form had resided under the island of Mata Nui, named after him, until he was awakened. Mata Nui WILL appear as a set in the 2nd part of 2009. He will have yellow (possibly gold) and black armor, a shield, a Thornax Launcher and will be wearing the Mask of Life. At the end of '09, he will appear in a Warrior set.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on June 21, 2009, 01:04:29 pm
Never heard of Brickipedia... check out BZPower or BS01 for accurate information, although since nothing is really known, you'll just have to wait. On the other hand, the last Bionicle book has been written, so basically Bionicle may just be sets that come out lacking a storyline(although hopefully GregF will make up a basic storyline or have online serials with plot for 2010 and on...).

@0PC0: We've already seen Mata Nui set form; canister and warrior. They're both yellow, although warrior may have gold pieces...

And as for Skopio... I can't wait for him. Pure awesomness, and if Bionicle ever ends I hope they come up with something like that to end with...

Titan Mata Nui is a huge version of his Glatorian self. ;)

RP: Oh, it will have gold, it was pointed out a few times in the talkback for the original image. It's unsure right now, but it could have an actual Gold '08 style Ignika.

PC: It's Keetorange actually, since it's already out. ;) Now the Titan on the other hand will have like 3 shades, Yellow, Gold, and Keetorange.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on June 22, 2009, 09:21:25 am
Is it actualy fact that titan will have gold? If it is then I will get Skopio and Mata Nui Titan minimum. It'll be kinda weird having Mata Nui with a mask instead of helmet. I like the 09 heads better than Metru, although both are good. I'm also liking the custom torso, which for some reason reminds me of Maxilos. MNT has 6 pistons! (yay!).

Haven't counted the pistons on Skopio yet, but its a lot...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 22, 2009, 09:36:27 am
Well, since parts of it are a darker colour than Keetorange and have a shininess to it, it's 99% possible. Not fully confirmed yet, as no-one has the set, but...

And it's a helmet because the '09 heads and helmets are epicly small.

Oh yes, about the story stuff, it'll more than likely be told only through the comics or such, and online and such, unless somehow they miraculously add books for next year. After all, the movie may boost sales, you never know...

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

It does. If the Titan had've used the Helmet, it would've looked even more awkward than it does now. Since people say it's too small now.

The CGI for them is bad compared to tLRB, but really they weren't that bad, for being made 4, 5, and 6 years ago for Bionicle 3, Bionicle 2, and Mask of Light respectively... Though I never did get to see Web of Shadows. >_>

I'll just read the movie novilization instead of watching the movie itself. Hopefully it provides more info, although I think it'd be interesting to see it... I wonder if next year will take place on Bara Magna, or if we'll have something different...

I don't think it's you know who. Just because the title says that it's this person's revenge doesn't mean that person is the actual traitor. It could be this person's revenge on the Skrall or something for all we know. Take it with a grain of salt I'd say.

Yo Blades: you Double Posted!! =P

as for the news... I am now going to get Titan Mata Nui, Skopio and Vastus... but the gold on Mata Nui is FAIL, IMO (yes, gold is nice, but when there are only 4 pieces surrounded in a sea of yellow and keetorange it kinda looks funny(jn a bad way)). should either added more gold or had no gold at all(the first is better)...

EDIT: Scodonius is in the side car of the Kaxium, and KIBRAZ(what the heck!?!) is the driver!


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 28, 2009, 02:42:35 pm
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.

New comic scans on BZP!

They all talk about the 'shooting star that is mata Nui.

We also see an arena fight between Kiina and Ackar. Reveals a bit about their personalities, and I now suspect Vastus the traitor...

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


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 28, 2009, 06:15:58 pm
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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on June 28, 2009, 06:29:58 pm
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


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on June 28, 2009, 06:38:45 pm
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?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 28, 2009, 06:41:34 pm
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?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on June 29, 2009, 09:05:06 am
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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on June 29, 2009, 10:56:29 am

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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

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 :P (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...

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

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on July 04, 2009, 11:58:44 am
Kiina looks kinda like the armor would get in the way. Not to mention only 42 pieces or something like that :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 12:32:06 pm
She has 43 pieces. =P ... Hey, was Krika liked last year? If not, I may have found a pattern, as both had the lowest number of pieces, IIRC.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 04, 2009, 03:27:58 pm
Krika was liked. In fact he was the most favourited Mistika.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 03:42:43 pm
Wow. Then was it Bitil who was flamed 'til he melted? =P And I myself don't think that the Mistika are as bad as everyone said they were. Sure they may not look like the original Nuva, but did the original Nuva look like the original Mata, aside from some slight similarities? I refer you to Gali's Kaukau Nuva... =P

The only other thing that I disliked about the Mistika is Gali's constantly hunched neck/head. She just can't look up. I myself would take wobbling over that. And the funny thing is that there's a way to fix that and have a custom torso. And it only needs a Mata/Nuva foot.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 04, 2009, 04:30:41 pm
Well wasn't the brown type eliminated and turned to yellow because they sold the fewest and red and green sold the most? So I think that no matter what, the yellow or brown ones just don't seem as popular, maybe why they made Mata Nui that color, to attract more sales, people buying their favorite color(as I buy all the white guys) and then get mata nui. And one improvement from the Nuva to the Mistika and Phantoka was that there were more pieces and the movement was better. Altho I wish that Kopaka would've had a sword


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 04:34:13 pm
Yeah, they could've easily put in a sword, yet they didn't. =/ I do wish that Gelu helmet officially came in more colours, like green. That would be so epicly awesome... =D

But yeah, that may have contributed to it, but IIRC, it wasn't his colour they were upset about, I think it may have been the simplistic build or so. Or the fact it used an Av-Matoran body when it was a canister.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 04, 2009, 04:43:58 pm
Idk what IIRC means. And the yellow and brown faction have never sold as well as the others. And I love the Gelu helmet, IMO it's the best one this year. And I like the white guys so =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 05:02:50 pm
IIRC=If I Remember/Recall Correctly. And it hasn't... Aside from this year. Even Vorox may have sold good, I dunno, but Vorox and Zesk seemed to be liked more than the others this year, mostly because tan was back. And yes, I agree with you on the Gelu helmet. I wish they had've done what they did in '01 with the helmets...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 04, 2009, 05:42:11 pm
Ya that would be really cool, although only  Gelu's is worth getting IMO. Although what I don't like about changing the mask and face is that it doesn't allow for MOCs


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 05:46:27 pm
Or Mata Nui's Glatonika.(Glatorian Ignika) Though, yes, Gelu's would be awesome. Especially seeing that prototype in Metru green and apparently silver. ^^


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 04, 2009, 05:51:45 pm
Well, the Mask of Life is the most important mask in the universe. Atleast it's up there. And if by metru green you mean the green of the original green toa metru, that would be so cool. And silver would be pretty good too. Although I don't necessarily like the iron man type of heads. Although without that style Gelu's epic mask type wouldn't work (I have nooo idea of any mask names)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 05:54:43 pm
They don't have any mask names. =P They're helmets in set wise of course. And yes, Metru Green, as in Matau Green. The same dark green that many of the Toa of Air and Glatorian of Jungle have had for a while now. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 04, 2009, 05:57:40 pm
Well for reasons I'd rather not explain, I trashed all my old bios and skipped 2 years, so I don't have any of those, even though I used to have a ton *punches self repeatedly* And Phantoka Lewa was lime green, not metru green. And I couldn't remember Matau's name

BTW, is that the official cover for the new movie? Because that's more of the real Lego set, and the movie has modded mouths and such


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 04, 2009, 06:01:36 pm
I said Many, I didn't say all. I am fully aware of Lewa being Limegreen ;)

And yes, as it's been advertised in the mag many times, I assume it is. Maybe it's that Mata Nui has a faceplate with the Ignika, since it can change it's shape? *Shrugs*

Post by: The Host on July 05, 2009, 12:35:16 pm
GAAAAAAH! I forgot to put a vacation post up for the last week...

anywho>>

Gelu has an amazing mask, and I'll try for him if I can, although most of the other stuff on him is overlookable(although the snowflake/icicle parts are nice).
Vastus being a snake is really cool(better idea-wise than Gresh, although the green G is still amazing).
Stronius' club is nice, and the way it was used in the Rhox MoC in BBC54 was really nice(as hand pieces).
Kiina has nice weapons and getting 4 limbs and 4 of the armour pieces is nice, but the helmet and piece count take away from the set.
Mata Nui is MN... but in a bad design IMO
and Ackar is just plain. the flame sword is cool, and the ankle armour is new, but otherwise it's a recoloured pile of pieces(no knew mask...)

and for 2008:
Krika wasn't a good set, Bitil was.
Krika has:
-limited posability
-small piece count
-Av-Toran limbs
-wobble head(which wobbled the launcher too)

Bitil has:
-great posability
-largest piece count among can Makuta(although 4 viking hors takes away from that)
-wings(added joints)
-yellow!(new colour)
-av-toran body(which I'll take over 4 unbendable limbs)

I got both...(sadly. Krika was not a good purchase for me, especially w/ Cad pricing)


BTW: does the Bio Site get updated?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 06, 2009, 08:34:46 am
Yeah, it should be updated by now unless it got delayed again... I'll go check BZP.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 06, 2009, 11:43:59 am
It's updated.

NEW MOVIE CLIPS.

[spoiler]The wat MN gets his body formed... >_<
But the ending of the GL TV Ad....
Yes.... Ackar, MN, Kiina, Gresh! Since Atakus and a Skrall are charging at them and MN somehow make the other Glatorian use powers... makes me believe that they are some of the more important characters...

Spectualted character appearances:

MN=HUGE (well, duh)
Ackar, Kiina, Gresh and Skrall=Big
Raanu, Berix, Metus, Atakus: decent
Tarix, vastus: Small
Non-Speaking roles: Low

Well, of course Gresh would be with them... he is he average hero type and the main character of ther first half of the year...
Kiina, Ackar: Summer Sets. Goes for all others, too.
All agori: They need agori.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 06, 2009, 12:03:07 pm
Imagine if MN didn't speak... but the new clips are nice, even though the Movie Clip is somewhat boring... and MN's body formation is boring(the MoL always creates a body in the same way ><)

The new bios are nice. Telluris is a Glatorian, and it turns out Sahmad isn't really evil, moreso he's like Strakk, cruel in the arena, but he works for Tesera...(but he's orange).

Scodonius and Kirbraz don't get along... lol that should give at least one nice scene, maybe...

Telluris is a RENEGADE warrior(looks at my own name... YES!). He seems to work for whoever, which is cool.

Also cool is the fact that Crotesius and Telluris both seem to have made their respective vehicles. Telluris has a role in the movie, which is nice(it was a pic on the top of a box (from a BZP review)...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 06, 2009, 12:55:06 pm
That's a Skopio Scorpion, not the Vehicle.  ;)

And Telluris is an Agori, not a Glatorian. OGD says it.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on July 06, 2009, 02:08:52 pm
oh... well at least a form of Skopio is in the movie...

Bio.com is not a reliable source then >< it puts Telluris under Glatorian, as well as Perditus. Sahmad(which is still a rediculously uncool name) being from Tesera is wierd... He should stay out of the main tribes and be a wanderer...

I want to see a Baranus review(not that I like the set, but I've seen the other 4 vehicle reviews and the (t)MNT review... he's the only one left, and I could care less about the GL(only two that I'm thinking of getting are Gelu and Vastus).

Cendox(after reading the review) is high on my priority list, and MNT drops below him(possibly). Reasons are:
-MNT has bad colour scheme(the gold looks bad, and other things)
-Cendox can TURN(which is not that amazing, but on the set it is)
-Cendox has an Agori, yellow parts, and the Kiina armour(in yellow). MNT has yellow too... but still
-Cendox costs less(I think)
-I didn't get Vultraz(well, that's not really a reason, but Crotesius and Vultraz are twins, so...)

yeah, there are others, but now my list is:(from highest to lowest)
-Skopio
-Cendox
-Vastus or Gelu
-MNT

and just in case anyone was having trouble with MNT, its Mata Nui Titan, and fits nicely with a t before it, making it TMNT <- (wow, how bad is that :P)

Anone notice the fact that Ackar, MN, Kiina and Gresh kinda SHOOPED DA WHOOPED at the Skrall and Atakus/Bonehunter?
And they don't have powers... extremely odd.

Now...

1. Mata Nui-Already up.
2.Tajun
-Maybe MN's first time into a society...
3.The Secret lab
Now... the big part, mysterious part.
Shortended version:
MN discovers a Secret Lab somewhere.
4. Unity
MN getting a Glatorian Team, like the one at the end of the GL ad.
5. Destiny
And the most mysterious... what are their destinies?
(imagines 'Turaga MN next year)

@Blade: once again, I type something and make it really easy to misread(my fault, not yours)
What I meant to say is: I've read 5 reviews: MNT, Cenodx, Thornatus, Kaxium and Skopio. I want to see a Baranus review...

anywho, Bio.Com is an awful source. Sahmad and Telluris are from the same plagued tribe, and neither one is liked. Sahmad is an Agori, and Telluris is a Glatorian in the species sense, but he does not occupy the position of Glatorian. Kinda like Malum and Gelu.

I've stopped reading RoS because the dimensions are way to wierd, and I don't even know who's dead or alive... RotGB should be the most interesting of the serials, followed by EotS.

@KZ: I don't want that to actually happen. The Gresh Kiina Ackar MN supa blast... seems to MUish. And as for the Secret Lab, check the map on Bio.Com in the desktop downloads area. Look near Tajun.

and on BS01 it says Tesera is also called the Twin Village. My assumption would be the fact that the main city part of the village is in one spot, while the arena is to the north of it. But that's just my opinion. But BS01 confirms it as a second name...

Just got my shipment of Bionicle Glatorian Legends.

So thought I'd post you all the bio codes so you can get the stickers of each new Glatorian.
The ones I don't have weren't to hard to decode. Except Stronius having problems figuring his code. Course he's on back order for me any how.

Also the Scarabax coming out I'm trying to guess that one to but maybe the code snot been created.

Anyway hope this isn;t against the rules. Enjoy the codes. They are awesome stickers.


b4r4n5 baranus sticker (purchased)
c3nd0x cendox sticker (purchased)
k4x1um kaxium sticker (purchased)
7h0rn1 thornaxus sticker (purchased)
5k0p10 skopio sticker (guessed)

m74nu1 mata-nui sticker (purchased)
bluk11 kiinu sticker (purchased)
v457u5 vastus sticker (guessed)
4ck4rg ackar sticker (guessed)
73g3lu gelu sticker (guessed)
 stronius sticker ((guessed) on back order)

 New scarabax click coming out any ideas?


For those not sure about the guessing.

The new codes with letters that are numbers the numbers are as follows.

o=0
i=1
e=3
a=4
s=5
t=7

Perhaps you can figure out Stronius

Bionicle cameras look pretty cool. }:>)

You can get em all from Lego.

Odd thing is that Vastus and Stronius were not ready to be shipped. Yet you could buy all 6 at once and you get em all go figure.

All the vehicles are available there if no where else now. Only one I really didn't care to buy was skopio it just doesn't excite me.

The other 4 are totally awesome IMHO.

Only thing I don't really like is the cendox motorcycles while cool vehicles they aren't quite motorcycles.

As you build them you get the feel that they are go karts with two wheels. But the wheels are real rubber always a plus.

The one design, that of the three motorcycles available (or is there more than 3?), that truely feels like a motorocycle is the Destral Cycle (instructions to build pdf link) (http://cache.lego.com/upload/contentTemplating/ClubLEGOMagazineFlashback/otherfiles/1033/download48E2D724A2FD326EC9DCAAEAF1F6C3EB.pdf) built from the Jetrax T6, which means I need to buy another Jetrax T6 so I can make that vehicle and have them both.

Wow now he's cool.
Perhaps they put up the prototype but he's not ready for sale yet. Or maybe he's a target/walmart/toys-r-us exclusive?
Because he should be in the warrior category.
But exclusives to stores like the yellow Jetrax T6 doesn't end up in the shop form what I've seen.

It's too bad the mask is not gold like the free lego minifig. that would really set the character off and look like the picture displayed.

1. Someone's already got him as a prize for a contest, so it can't be prototype. And while that may be, I don't think so because I'm pretty sure the catalog he was featured in didn't have him listed as an Exclusive. But, I do think it was supposed to release around September or so, so...

2. MNT's mask is gold though. It's Brutaka gold.

Hey MT the Kaxium boys are pretty simple.

Ones blue with black limbs
The other is black with blue limbs.

Not sure if the helemt (mask?) was ever used before.
Standard clear blue skull for glatorians in general
The body style is that of berix and raanu
Arms and legs are the 90 degree bends
Feet are silver in the style of Antrox in the Jetrax T6 set.

To sum up they are Agori Metus with different mask/helmet, Antrox feet, Raanu style body, colors vary.




Just got finished building the Thornatus V9 last night.
It's a fantastic vehicle with a few problems.

No easy hand hold for playability and rolling on the floor like kids do hand on top style.
The side wheels that fold back and come forward are way cool but lack an easy way to shift them back and forth.

Yet all in all it's a pretty awesome design rolls smooth looks totally cool, and is gigantic, OMG.

Crotesius has the same helmet as the Kaxium Riders, just reversed.
Sahmad and Perditus have the same helmet.
Telluris has the same mask/helmet/face as the Spikit(tho he only has one) but reversed.

Tarduk is pretty cool, and his helmet looks huge. If his price wasn't rediculous in Canada I'd get him...

@KZ: cool. I'd take a review of either, but I'm only getting Vastus of the two. and I didn't realise that they were talking...

@Iconox: well, at least your TRU has sets... I'm getting Skopio in August too, but out of my own money(been saving for a while)...

@Blade: I like the Nuparu Inika feet the best. Especially in Black when they shine. Vastus has those feet, which makes him cool. Mata and Metru feet don't work well IMO for stability on Can sets, but are great for Matoran/Agori. (and short Glatorians: read- Telluris)

@Midnight: how do you extend the wheels(I know there's an elastic involved... but that's it).

There's no doubt about it Thornatus is way cool despite the items I listed.

The side wheels OMG.


How to best describe this.


The band is straight across ------------

The side wheels

Slide along a track in the middle with a shield on top of it they go towards the front and make a very slight V formation.

(http://cache.lego.com/images/shop/prod/8995-0000-xx-12-1.jpg)

When you slide them backwards they do a severe backwards V to the body of the vehicle (back by the seated figure giving it more protection if you look it at from that perspective) and looks like a massive Y trike.

Here's a pic someone took of Thornatus with the wheels back.

(http://img4.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/4293/4293184bf6d1605daa49387e836e37731b6ddb2.jpg)

The whole vehicle is a Y trike so to speak. 4 wheels in the front left and right two on each side.
One big wheel in back.
Literally took me a good 4 hours to put together. With breaks inside that. I did it over two days.
A very sturdy peice good heavy weight.


But see this is why I say the extended wheels could have been been better IE they could have a lever or something you could move to bring them forward and back. They don't have it. You darn near need three hands to move 'em. One to hold the body the other two for each side wheels to pull or push backwards. It can be done with two hands just compared to some of the previous vehicles with levers to flip out the wings and such they should have done the same on these wheels IMHO.
But no matter what extended or retracted the vehicle is phenominal IMHO.

Another thing I really love about the front wheels.
They use silver Krika skulls as wheel covers (in real life they like your bicycle keep mud from flying up your back.
And on the front again they use silver krika half front arms as blades.
The skulls are just soo cool used in this way.

The only vehicle I didn't pick up was skopio I just don't like it's alternative mode. As the upright 4 legged beast it's pretty cool. The tracks are awesome. Dut the turned more into a quick driving tank mode, so to speak just isn't all that great IMHO.  But as the skorpion mode he's pretty cool looking. I may pick it up in a few months when the sale price drops to clearance for about 25-40 bucks. };>)


As an aside. Don't be too jealous. I'm an adult with money to burn. }:>)
I'll post a pic of my latest collection there's 34 sets in the pic i'll add in a moment.
Thornatus is not in the pic haven't brought it to work yet.
I do have some older sets back when bionicles first came out even some of the silly mcdonalds happy meals sets.
But I have to go home to CT and dig em up out of my ninja, egyptian, and technics lego sets.

Thornatus looks pretty cool, but I have to say that Skopio and Cendox are better(well, maybe not Cendox, but...)

Skopio has a huge amount of pieces, and just looks amazing standing up, and even in tank mode it's cool. And the fact that it can switch completely is cool.

Cendox is amazing because it's such a small thing, but it turns. The little vehicle just looks complete, and I must say that the Lego designers did a great job with it. I don't have any summer sets, so I can't comment and be 100 percent sure of myself, but from various reviews I think I'll keep my opinion even after getting sets.

That's very acurate. A sandmobile so to speak hahahahah.

The front skids are built well to they are loose and not stiff so they can manuever the vehicle in a turn quite easily.

BTW here's the images of the the Characters for each vehicle. Exceptions No thornatus or Skopio characters.

I think he may actually be talking about the Grey hau on the Ussanui.
Because there's no Artahka Style Grey hau, only a gold.

*facepalm* and you guys call yourself bionicle fans... :P you should know that tahu Mata wears a arthaka-style hau. Lihkan wears the standard version, its everywhere EXCEPT metru nui (& arthaka). so yes, it is  the one from the ussani!

Just got my shipment of Bionicle Glatorian Legends.

So thought I'd post you all the bio codes so you can get the stickers of each new Glatorian.
The ones I don't have weren't to hard to decode. Except Stronius having problems figuring his code. Course he's on back order for me any how.

Also the Scarabax coming out I'm trying to guess that one to but maybe the code snot been created.

Anyway hope this isn;t against the rules. Enjoy the codes. They are awesome stickers.


b4r4n5 baranus sticker (purchased)
c3nd0x cendox sticker (purchased)
k4x1um kaxium sticker (purchased)
7h0rn1 thornaxus sticker (purchased)
5k0p10 skopio sticker (guessed)

m74nu1 mata-nui sticker (purchased)
bluk11 kiinu sticker (purchased)
v457u5 vastus sticker (guessed)
4ck4rg ackar sticker (guessed)
73g3lu gelu sticker (guessed)
 stronius sticker ((guessed) on back order)

 New scarabax click coming out any ideas?


For those not sure about the guessing.

The new codes with letters that are numbers the numbers are as follows.

o=0
i=1
e=3
a=4
s=5
t=7

Perhaps you can figure out Stronius

Bionicle cameras look pretty cool. }:>)

Canister MN has a Yellow Ignika.

A Canister takes me 2-6 minuites, depending on how many new pieces it has.

At least we get five new BIONICLE armour variants in the legends...

1. Mata Nui's Shoulder Armour
2. Vastus' Shoulder Armour
3. Kiina's Armour
4. Stronius' Chest and Shoulder Armour
5. Ackar and MN's Shin armour

All new pieces, because of the new limb piece (we haven't got a new one since 2006)

And he meets click, and the origin of the shield...

1. That's to make it more realistic, as it is a transformed version of Click, and it's showing that. ;)

2. ? I've gotta watch that again then. =P

Ok,so i'm getting Stronious,Ackar,and i can't decide on a THIRD set. I'm limiting my Bios,since i had pretty muc hevery set last yeat except Mazeka and Vultraz-

Should i go with Mata nui or Gelu? I rule Kiina out because of her smaller number of pieces and Vahki chest armor,and Vastus because his shoulder armor and legs look like they're hard to move. I'm just using aneducated guess.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on July 13, 2009, 12:58:38 pm
If you can, both. If not, I'd say Mata Nui because he's a big character this year.

I'd say go with Gelu, because Mata Nui is gonna have a bigger version and his mask of life is wayt too small

And I too play with my bios as if they are alive. And?

And for some reason, the sound on my computer won't work with the preview


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on July 13, 2009, 06:09:51 pm
Just turn it up, sound seemed to be a little... too low. It's fine and normal on the rest of my comp, but I have to turn the volume up and clamp the headphones to my ears to hear Mata Nui talking.

I did like when Mata Nui was stumbling and almost stepped on Click though. Added some realism, as he wasn't used to the small body. ;)

It's the Super Chapter Book, so I think it's over 100 pages, not sure. It's a normal book though, but isn't in the Legends series... It's an in-between series thing, probably because Scholastic cut it down to this book and the Novelization for the actual books. >_>

If you're talking about the young kid level 3 books, the they aren't the main story.

The books are. (Chronicles (4), Legends (11), Adventures(10), BIONICLE series of books (Only 2 known ones- Raid on Vulcanus and The Legend Reborn Novelization)

Neither is The Legend Reborn.

Nor are Chronicles, Adventures, or Legends.

I just got Vastus.
He's not as fat as people say, he looks a LOT better in person. And I can tell you... that Shoulder armour is bigger than it looks  on the canister.
I also like the fact that he has a green Iron man head, red or blue would not have fit with that colour scheme.

*is still waiting for MN and Ackar to be shipped*


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 16, 2009, 10:18:49 pm
That's why I never wait for shipping. It's easy to buy it in person. And if pieces are missing. Ugh

BTW, IMO, I think from best to worst are Stronius, Gelu, Vastus, Ackar, MN, and whatever the blue ones name is. I don't like MN because his shoulders get in the way more than you think, the weapon isnt that easily used, the mask of life is half the size of its original, and the shin guards are loose and annoying


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on July 17, 2009, 11:40:05 am
Yea, I prettyy much neer get sets shipped,i buy them at the store,however,i can't find the Legends in stores so i had Stronius and Gelu shipped to my house. They'll either get here today or next week.

Vastus also arrived after four days... and we didn't pay for express delivery. 0_o

(I also trust LEGO more..)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 17, 2009, 11:59:48 am
I'm beginning to hate TRU also. They cheat me by charging $12 for $10 sets, and so forth. It's getting really cheap. They charge too much extra, and it's on every set. That's why I got my 2 sets at Wal-Mart. I'm hoping MN in titan form isn't a TRU exclusive, because I really want him

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on July 17, 2009, 07:03:00 pm
I think I read he is an exclusive, although which store I dunno... I'm not even that sure about the fact he's an exclusive. =/

And the fact his Ignika is smaller than the '08 one is the fact that the BM skulls are smaller than the Metru skulls. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 17, 2009, 10:15:04 pm
they could still make it bigger, they didn't have to make it so close to the skull part

If the ignika was any bigger on MN, it would look Absurd compared to BM's Helemets.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 18, 2009, 10:22:33 am
I have MN and Ackar now...


IMO, he is the bestest GL. Sure, he does have rattling ankle armour and a small helmet, but that hardly bothers me, as if the ankle armour didn't wobble... his feet would hurt.

His shoulder armour's gap allows it to not touch the helmet, but my only gripe about him is...

THAT'S A SHIELD?!


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on July 18, 2009, 10:25:26 am
Aw dang, I forgot to post my post earlier.

Cendox is worth it IMO, even though I don't have him, and I'd get Mata Nui just to say you got him, unless you like the Titan one more.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on July 18, 2009, 11:24:09 am
Thanks! I think I'll stick with MN and Cendox then, firstly because Cendox is the only vehicle available in the UK so far, secondly because Mata Nui looks quite cool. And it's Mata Nui.

TLR Behind the scenes with voices up...

Pretty much everyone's ruined except for Ackar and MN.

Berix:
DO THEY THINK HE'S A KID?!

Ackar:
Second bestest. Good for an old person like him.

Kiina:

Ruined... just ruined.... the voice, IMO is horrible...

Gresh:

That DOES not sound like Gresh at all.

MN:
Bestest voice...


I hate LEGO/Tinseltown's voicing...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on July 20, 2009, 12:02:04 pm
I agree KZ... Kiina, Gresh and Berix are... well, definitely not good. Mata Nui and Ackar sound good though, Kiina seems to excited, Berix, I agree, sounds like a kid. Gresh? Well...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 20, 2009, 12:25:39 pm

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Berix is the worst. Kiina is kinda annoying. And gresh seems just like a normal person. It's ok


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on July 20, 2009, 01:56:21 pm
Yeah. Kiina's excitement i understand,so she's tolerable,Berix is EXACTLY how kz described him,and Gresh's voice isn't noble enough.....

Ackar and MN are good,though.

now,onto buisness....I got Gelu and Stronius today. Gelu is AWESOME,only con is his legs are too long,and Stronius....he's mostly good,but his chest armor is pretty flimsy and his shoulder armor is lackluster.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Plotkin on July 20, 2009, 01:57:31 pm
Those are the only two I own, and Gelu's legs don't seem that long. And his chest and shoulder armor are the same so...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on July 20, 2009, 01:59:58 pm

Oh,and also,his sword is partially plastic,kinda annoying.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 20, 2009, 02:08:12 pm
Vastus' spear is half-rubber too.
Not sure about Kiina's weapon, since I already know about Stronius,' Gelu's, Vastus', MN's and Ackar's weapon due to varyingg descriptions.

Also, what do you mean is shoulder armour is lackluster? It's the same as the body armour, which is a new piece,


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on July 20, 2009, 02:11:17 pm

All you need to do is put it on the upper set of holes instead of the lower set of holes.

Well folks looks like I might have been right on the exclusivity.


Look who's now available to buy on or at, one Toys R Us website.

LEGO Bionicle Toa Mata Nui (8998) (http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3504369)

49.99 and in stock. But not on the Lego Shop website. (Kinda makes it an exclusive doesn't it?)
Looks like they are some what limited in stock in the stores.
I've called two near me. One got 3 in stock another got 6 and they got them yesterday the 21'st.
So grab one quick if you have a mind to before the lego sharks buy them all and sell em on eBay for $70 and up (which btw has already started)

Hmm that image is interesting.

Does that seem to denote the DVD comes in the set?

(http://trus.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pTRU1-5751480_alternate1_dt.jpg)

that's the good news.

WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. READ AT OWN RISK.

[spoiler]Looks like the following are main characters:

Ackar
Berix
Gresh
Kiina
Mata Nui(obvious)
Metus
Tuma (which is pretty obvious)

So apparently, Gresh has started training with Kiina and Gresh also apparently has 'Toa' Powers.[/spoiler]

Hm....tell us what you think about him when ya make him. I'm neutral right now. Hard to tell if he's a good set.

Well I got the Titan Toa Mata Nui last night. Must say no DVD included it's just a box teaser. }:>(

Not sure what your criteria is of a good set.

But I for one enjoyed putting him together very much.

It's like building a technics model form my child hood daqys and I loved technics before.

He's got some pieces I really like. The shield launcher is pretty cool looking.

His hands are actual hands with bendable fingers and thumb.

There's plenty of hydraulic actuators for the legs arms torso.

I'm going to take a bunch of pictures tonight and put em up tomorrow so look forward to some nice close up shots of various features.

There's only a few gold pieces the mask is gold, his cod peice is cold, two leg coverings are gold.

The feet are and legs are quite sturdy the blade in his hand nice but has no handle so to speak. It's more like a knife than a short blade or staff weapon.

He is actually equipped (for thos who are into the game) with TWO number counters. So instead of the normal 6 hits your dead he takes 12.

Also as a whole unit he has a good feel to him. You know how you pick up a 12 inch action figure and it has weight and heft feels sturdy like and old school 12 inch G.I. Joe.

He feels like this. Like you can carry him around play with him and parts won't fall off, You could even beat your friend soundly about the head and he'll say, "Ow, OW, OW!!!!" He's a beefy action figure to say the least.

Also in my haze I picked up Vastus (do like his weapon, arm coverings, and helmet.), Skopio (in the process of building), and this TRU had several older models. They had a Gadunka 1 of them (I did not buy) $20.99 and a Maxilos and Spinax (Already own) and a Hydraxon $20.99 who I purchased.

Hdraxon is pretty cool love his claws his upper body is nice his legs a bit on the thin side for the design but a good addition all in all.

Got Kiina. (She was on sale, weirdly)

She's not as bad as people say she is. The Armour doesn't really limit her that much, and the helmet really does cover up the rather manly Iron man head.
It's the movie portrayal of her that's the ugly one.

As for the Skrall's voces, they can be completely random.

I have to agree, he's pretty cool as MN. =) I also like Gresh's voice, as while some people says he sounds 'normal', I'd probably choose Gresh's VA if I had to choose one VA from this movie to do Kaze 's voice if there was ever a voiced DoaH with big VAs.

Ackar vs. Strakk, IMO, wasn't that good of a fight. Now come on, a hurling axe cannot make you go flying in the air and then land on a jagged rock, the same goes for a push the body with a shield.
(and raanu's voice is so fail.)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on August 04, 2009, 01:33:49 pm
I agree KZ.
We don't even know if it was Raanu, because there were about three of him. I don't think he has a major part though, he isn't mentioned in the characters.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 04, 2009, 03:15:11 pm
He and Metus had SHOULDER ARMOUR (Raanu even had his 'fire sword'), unlike all the others. look closely. Also, anyone notice berix and Tarduk (cameo appearance for tarduk, since he doesn't have a major role) when Raanu stands up?

Remember that this is Bionicle, and the Laws of Physics don't always apply. Besides, prove to me that they aren't really strong and wield heavily weighted weapons?

or

2) just enjoy the story!

And then:

ACKAR: Concede. You leave with your Honor intact, and I with your shield.
STRAKK: *picks up axe and hurls it* O RLY?
ACKAR: OHEZ NOEZ *bang* *is unconscious*
MATA NUI: Stop right there, Skakdi!
*Thornax comes out of... Click? 0_o*
STRAKK: WHAT THE THORN-*BOOM*
MATA NUI: Stop. You leave, dishonored. I leave saving someone's life.
STRAKK: *touches ignika and transforms into a thornax launcher*
MATA NUI: That was weird.
ACKAR: You saved my life! Let me touch your mask!
*Ackar turns into a sword*
MATA NUI: Great, I saved somebody's life only for them to turn into a sword.
*Ignika touches ground*
*Ground becomes alive and eats Mata Nui, Thornax Launcher and Sword*

=P
This wion't happen though, but I'd like to see this:

GRESH: mata nui tells me I've got awesome 'toa' powers, whatever those are. Why won't you let me test them out?
MATA NUI: Because ypu could cause an explosion.
GRESH: *uses powers*
*BOOM*
VASTUS: NOT AGAIN!

=P
But of course, it won't. I also came across a pic of Vastus being caught in an explosion, it was a TLR image! (we should have an offical TLR discussion...)

I'm back from my vacation(which felt like forever). I'm hoping to get Skopio either tommorrow or Thursday. I won't be getting MNT because of the huge price tag...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 04, 2009, 06:11:40 pm
Opinions on vehicles and other sets after seeing reviews:
From all the reviews I've seen, most consider Thornatus a very good set (Some call it better than Skopio, but from other reviews Skopio seems to be better.). It's also the longest vehicle I've seen, and the top of the cockpit is the only part similar to jetrax.
 Also, in my country baranus and TMN are the same price, but if I had to choose I;d pick TMN. Way better than the jumbled thing that is the Baranus.

Kaxium is full of holes when none of the pilots are in, Cendox is liked. A lot. Probably because it is so much more worth it than Vultraz ever was. As for Baranus, I think it is the worst set this year.

First thoughts on GLs:
Ackar: Despite his lacklusterness and Berix Helmet, he makes up for it in his sheer amount of recolors.
Kiina: Terrible.
Vastus: Scythe and Helmet, green, I always get the green sets, and the mahri tube is awesome.
Mata Nui: Mata Nui.
Gelu: Way too lackluster and recolors lacking, But awesome weapon and helmet.
Stronius: He is one awesome guy. Only second to mata Nui.
Gelu: He looks awesome. But he's lackluster.

Now I think:
Ackar; I still think the same.
kiina: She's grown on me a lot. She pulls off what she's supposed to do well.
Vastus: His body may be backwards, but I like that. But it's hard to pose his arms. Very hard.
Gelu: Same as before.
Stronius: Could do with a bit of upper arm armor and a little modification..


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on August 04, 2009, 07:00:33 pm
Welcome back RP. And @KZ- I kinda agree. But I think Stronius beats MN overall. I don't have MN, but i do hae Stronius, and i see many flaws in MN.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 04, 2009, 08:30:11 pm
I don't. I never see porportions as wrong or right, mainly because this IS a different universe, proportions shouldn't be humanesque.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 05, 2009, 07:43:37 am
I agree with KZ on porportions, except for certain sets(read: Kiina) which are completely rediculous. If the arms are just a bit too long(like most inika clones) I don't care that much, but with sets like Kiina, where the arms are past the knees, it looks bad.

As for the vehicles(I'm sure I've posted stuff like this, but its fun to critique the sets):

Cendox: Great value for price, and the ability to turn is great. Back tread is really good looking, and having the Kiina Fin in yellow is a plus.

Kaxium: Well, I liked it more when I first saw it, but now it looks kinda bland, with no turning, and a mostly solid build.

Baranus: The vehicle is aweful, but the Spikit is nice(ish). Sahmad has a nice weapon, and orange is a somewhat cool colour. Overall, the set seems to be a jumble of pieces and looks like it was made to just be there as a 5th vehicle.

Thornatus: It has a function. Which is great. Tan is a great addition to colour schemes, and the silver Krika heads are great. This set looks like a really good deal, although the price is a bit iffy.

Skopio: My personal favourite. This set is massive, and the ability to trasform is really good. The repetitive build may deter a few people from buying the set, but I don't really care, as the awesomness of the set outways the overall build design. As for the pilot, it's pretty unique, and wears a backwards Spikit head for a helmet. This is definately a set worth getting if you have the money.

And for a list of best to worst:
Skopio
Thornatus/Cendox
Kaxium
Baranus

Pick up Thornatus if you've got the money, otherwise go for Cendox, which is a great set for the price.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 05, 2009, 09:52:56 am
My best to worst would go lkike this:
1. Thornatus/Cendox
2. Skopio
3. Kaxium
1000. Baranus

Thornatus: There's not a lot of repeptition in the build as far as I can see, unlike Skopio. It has a nice function, extremely poseable Thornatus Turret (perhaps that's what Ackar has in the Vehicles Commercial.) and a lot of space. The main con though, is the armored back, but flimsy front.

Cendox: Extremely well designed, better than other vehicles of its price (F&S, Ignika and Vultraz), yellow (old!) but he pilot is basically Vultraz.

Skopio: Lots of repetitive building as far as I can see (four of the SAME leg), but a very unique transforming function, and a turret. The pilot has some nice parts (keetorange metru legs at last!), especially the helmet, which I like. A lot.

Kaxium: Lots of holes without the pilots. It looks better with them in, and the split function is cool. Pilots are lackluster though, and exactly the same, but I'll just switch one of their eye colors and flip the helmet around.

Baranus: Jumbled mess. The only thing I can say that is good is the pilot. Would be a treasure pile of pieces, though. And the spikit has a horrible piraka torso, but covered in armour. (at least from what I can see)

Toa Mata Nui: After seeing reviews, my opinion has changed on him. A lot. I absolutely love the look of him, ven if his arms and legs are near-clones of Takanuva 08's. Unfortunately, only 4 gold pieces, and it's nice to see some mata yellow recolors.

Oh, yes, and I never care about proportions on animalistic sets, since they're creatures, and creatures have varying proportions. (I say the less normal the proportions are, the more animalistic it looks.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 05, 2009, 10:30:40 am
I agree with you on Thornatus and Cendox, although for Thornatus the function isn't very detailed. It's pretty simplistic IMO(kinda like Rockoh's Wing function). Cendox is probably the best buy for your moneys worth, and even if the pilot is Vultraz with different feet and head, you're not buying the set for him(well, hopefully not), so it doesn't really matter.

Skopio is repetitive, but the piece count and the new pieces are great(I really want to see how the connected technic things work(dunno what to call them, the square shaped things that have the connection points)). And Telluris, even with awkward arms, has a great colour scheme and one of the best helmets(tied with Spikit lol)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 05, 2009, 10:38:30 am
Yeah. Even if you're not going to get Spikit, you'll at least get a yellow spikit helmet with Telluris. Though I rwelly wish the Baranus' and Thornatus' Pilots helmets were reversable-they're just plain ugly to me.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 05, 2009, 01:08:14 pm
I don't find their helmets too bad... and on a bad note, I called my TRU and they don't seem to have any of the new sets(although the store clerks are usually not too helpful, so I'll check it out myself later, along with Walmart and Zellers for Skopio...

Crotesius/Scodonius helmet is cool though, and it's reversable. The silver ones on Kaxium could be useful, as any coloured set could use them.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 05, 2009, 01:19:12 pm
Kirbraz and Scodoinius have the same helmet-sided and their builds are clones of eachother. Though, I do not have any of the vehicles yet.

Cendox can turn, unlike the other vehicles. (I think this year's vehicles are better than last year's 'flying refrigeraters'.)

Though I do want to know what effect the force blasters on Thornatus and Skopio do.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 05, 2009, 01:23:32 pm
Well, I liked how 08s vehicles had functions, but this years look better(for the most part. Axalara still owns Baranus and Kaxium, and is at least tied with Thornatus and Cendox).

And Force Blasters probably force blasts of some sort... i dunno.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 05, 2009, 01:40:32 pm
I've also noticed one flaw with Cendox's backstory:

Agori Can't create things. Just repair things,. Yet it says Crotesius built his cendox from parts won from Tesara and Iconox. And that's creating something.

...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 05, 2009, 01:48:53 pm
I thought that it was after the Shattering that they couldn't create things...(although I could be wrong). If Crotesius created Cendox prior to the Shattering then I think its okay. Or maybe he just repaired a vehicle incorrectly and came up with Cendox...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 05, 2009, 02:01:37 pm
I thought they were in the core war before the shattering. And it makes it sound like he built it recently.

Though, with all the quotes they've revealed in TLR, I think they've gave the basic plot away:


[spoiler]


Mata Nui lands.
Mata Nui meets Click
Mata Nui saves Ackar's Life.
Mata Nui travels to tajun with Ackar to get a Thornatus.
Mata Nui meets Berix and Kiina in the middle of a Bone Hunter Attack.
Mata Nui helps fight them.
Kiina decides to come along.
Mata Nui travels to tesara.
Vastus and Gresh get caught in an explosion. Gresh and Berix join.
Mata Nui travels to Roxtus.
Mata Nui somehow gives the glatorian elemental powers.
Mata Nui and co. fight Skrall.
Mata Nui defeats Tuma.
The end.

[/spoiler]

(Spoilered just in case it's somehow real)

They've given us way too much info, we basically know what happens now.
Also, here are the release dates for four countries:

UK: August 24 (yay)
USA: September 15
Canada: September 15
Australia: Still TBA

Also, the november comics takes place AFTER the movie. Prequel to 2010, anybody?
Dunno what the September comic will portray... probably the start of the movie.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 05, 2009, 04:40:16 pm
Eh. I'm not really conscerned with how Cendox was created...

and I went to Walmart today to look for Skopio, and they had 9 of the 11 sets:
6 GL
Kaxium
Baranus
Thornatus

no sign of Skopio or Cendox... and they had no one on staff for the toy section until 6:00 (I went at 4:30). Zellers had no new sets...


EDIT: and now that I've watched the movie previews and the voice acting:

Berix should never talk.
Kiina should not go "Woohoo! Wah hoo!" because it sounds dumb.
Mata Nui and Ackar good, as does Gresh.
Strakk sounds different than I would have thought, and I'm not sure if I like it or not. I do like how he walks though- hunched over and all.
Metus looks and acts pretty cool.

What I don't like is how they fall when defeated. It looks unrealistic. But it is cool how Click becomes Mata Nui's shield.

Yes. A Zesk must appear... does Vastus appear? I want to see how his snake-like armor is shown like. And tarix. Mouthplate or Strakk-Mouth...

YAY! Dudebot's name is relatively short! (but that means I can no longer refer to him as Longname :P)

anywho, I want to see Telluris and Skopio and that could be all for me... but also, Vastus, Gelu, Strakk, Stronius, a few Skrall, Tuma and Vorox would be nice :P
It would've been cooler if Mata Nui's team had been Vastus, Gelu and Strakk IMO, but that couldn't happen(not only because of colour overlap)...

I checked Walmart again yesterday, and no sign of Skopio(although I wasn't dragging my parents to the mall, I went with them while they were doing something else there...)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 07, 2009, 07:29:17 am
And because Strakk doesn't work for free, Gelu's not in the movie, and Vastus is driven to protect tesara.
It would be cool if MN's team had Gelu, mainly because he's RoV's main character. Mata Nui, Ackar, Kiina and Gresh are the team, but it would be better with Gelu, as then they would have an important Ice Tribe Character.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 07, 2009, 07:36:44 am
Gelu is cool. And Mata Nui's team could have a good Skrall on it lol...

Imagine Mata Nui's team as:
Mata Nui
Vastus
Strakk
Malum
Skrall

It would be kinda odd... although he would have a pack of Vorox on his side...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 07, 2009, 07:39:42 am
Odd team

I don't think he'd take kindly to the Vorox after one attacked him and he barely made it out alive, though...
This is what I want the team to be:
Mata Nui
Gresh
Vastus
Gelu
Ackar
Kiina

There. Classic Team of six.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 07, 2009, 07:56:20 am

Just reading the Skopio review at BZP (since none of my local toystores eem to carry Skopio yet (TRU doesn't even KNOW when they're getting the summmer wave of sets !?!)) and I realised a bunch of things:
-Telluris' build is much better than I'd thought(at first he looked cool, but looked like a downgraded Bitil). But his arms are cool, he actually uses the side holes on the ironman head, and the Life Counter for the UBERCOOLATCIONFIGUREGAME can fit on him.
-Skopio's back can open up
-Skopio's jaws open and snap back closed
-Skopio's legs are all identical(I was pretty sure about this, but now it's true)
-In tank form he can TURN (like Cendox)
-In tank form he can also travel sideways (which is pretty cool too).

So, other than confirmation that the legs are identical, this makes Skopio even better (now that he can turn he is everything Cendox ever wanted)...
So come on TRU, get Skopio in stock or I'll have to form over $15 for shipping and handling to get him from Lego S@H...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 08, 2009, 10:28:29 am
After reading a bunch of Baranus reviews I am more inclined to get it... since they like it... but I still don't like the fact that it probably uses a Piraka Torso underneath the armour...

Post by: Trijhak on August 08, 2009, 02:48:50 pm
Searched them up, can't remember where exactly I read them. I know BZP is one of the places.
Also, just had a browse at the instructions of the Baranus through customer service and the Spkit actually doesn't use any torso at all...

Post by: The Host on August 09, 2009, 07:25:28 am
Cards would be somewhat cool, but, like the movie, I don't see myself buying them. With my luck I'd get a pack full of Kiina, which I don't want.

And, I don't plan on getting MNT, because he's way to pricy, and the head looks awful. Overall, MNT is a revamp of Taka08, but porly done. Where Taka had a well designed Torso, Arms, Legs and a well fitting head, MNT has an awful Torso, disastrous head placement, and some wannabe Taka Arms which fail, due to the lack of upper arm armour.
On a positive note, the legs look sturdy, and the left hand weapon(thornax megalauncher) looks somewhat good(although oversized).



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 09, 2009, 09:28:31 am
If someone had to choose between Baranus or TMN, I'd say Baranus. At least the Spikit looks better in person.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 09, 2009, 03:07:33 pm
I would also choose Baranus(although MNT looks like a more interesting built, that comes with better pieces(the scarab shields, gold Ignika, 6 Pistons)).
Sometimes I think I'd choose Baranus over Kaxium, simply because Kaxium looks bland now, as well as kinda blocky and boring.

But Skopio still owns all ;D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 09, 2009, 03:11:53 pm
My opinions of the sets have changed now, especially after having been able to take a quick peek at their building interiors.

1. Cendox/Skopio (both very solid)
2.Thornatus/Baranus (they do have their flaw, IE: Thornatus has  some holes but is still good, Baranus' spikit is interesting but the Baraus has holes all over it)
3. Kaxium (Loads of holes, kinda blocky but looks good with pilots in it)

Though none are bad, I've also noticed how Baranus and Kaxium are the first vehicles to come with more than two parts to it (before it was pilot and vehicle. For Baranus, it's Creature, vehicle and Pilot, and for Kaxium it's Pilot, Pilot, Vehicle, Vehicle.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 09, 2009, 04:11:50 pm
4. The GLs
5. MCToran
6. MNT :P

Cendox and Skopio both look quite solid. And while looking at pictures of Thornatus it does seem a bit lacking in bulk, especially the front. The back looks solid, but I still don't know why it has 4 blasters on the back. And the scope in front of Perditus seems reduntant, as there's nothing to aim with(the Thornax on top cannot possibly be aimed through the scope...)

Baranus as a whole looks jumbled, but together it somehow doesn't look so bad.

Kaxium only looks good when the agori are in it, and when joined. It also looks like it will only stand when it's in one piece, rather than two...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 09, 2009, 04:21:35 pm
The scope would be there to uh... aim when it's ramming something :P

Also, the Thornatus does do a good job of looking old and rickety, which is fitting considering it was from before the war...

Without the 4 Blasters, the thornatus would look... wrong, for lack of better words. It solidifies it well.

Kaxium can 'stand' when split, because of the sizes of the oversized wheels.

Baranus' 'standing' point is littered with holes for rods to go through, allowed Sahmad to have a wide range of poses while in the Baranus itself. Also the colours work together better IRL because ofthe fact that the Gunmetal is there to represent Black. Without the Chariot, the Spikit still seems quite good, even with it, it's because of the fact that the Baranus V7 set comes in total with:

Orange
Black
Grey
Silver
Light Grey
Gunmetal
Metru Green
Lime Green
Gold (thornax)

All on the different parts of that, cuz there's three parts, one in each of Baranus' 3 bags.

The Thornatus does look rickety, and the 4 blasters do make it look good, but having 4 blasters is also wierd. Also, howcomethere is never more than 1 Thornax Launcher per set?

Oh, yeah, Kaxium has fat wheels...

Baranus has so many colours because of the 3 parts(I think thats what you said). But still, more green on the spikit would be cool, and a better colour scheme than Black and Gunmetal for the chariot would be good too. Sahmad looks solid, except for the oversized weapon.

Many people do not like the Mata Red/Metru Red combination on Skopio, but I think it looks good, although it could use more Metru Red, since it is a mix...

1. Thornatus' 4 blsters is probably because it looks like the most widely used one on bara Magna. We've seen Perdutis', Metus and Kiina drive one. and none of the others. That means it has some importance.

2. Yes, it does. It's also one of two vehicles not being able to turn, the other being Thornatus.

3. Having recolored Kalmah feet in Lime green... and having the Vahki Hip in Lime green, plus a Piraka Claw Foot that has a mix of Lime and Green would go nicely. Baranus, due to being pulled by a spikit rather than being one big vehicle, can turn also. That's three/5 vehicles that can turn...

4.Personally, I wish it was the other way around,. More Recolours that way. Metru Red Vehicle Plates, mata Red Hahnah Crab body...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 10, 2009, 11:55:10 am
1. It does look like the most used. Probably because everyone can fit on(Glatorian and Agori), whereas Kaxium, Cendox and Baranus fit only Agori.

2. Well, not have an actual bending part, but by driving it  I'm sure leaning left/right will make them turn.

3.Yes. That would be good. But the thing I don't like about Baranus is the vehicle playability that works with the storyline. It would be hard to turn the entire set(the Spikit, chains and chariot) all at once, and removing the spikit removes its power source to move(storywise).

4. Hmm. that would be interesting(and they could also change Telluris' lower arms to keetorange to match the rest of him(or add more yellow pieces to him, so that he's not monocoloured)).

And the new BTS is kinda boring. I never imagined Greg looking like that tho(it was kinda weird seeing him for the first time. Hopefully the next movie is a voice thing or a preview(of Skopio in action?)

Wrong there. Sahmad uses the Metru Feet to connect onto the Pins sticking out, so pretty much any Glatorian/agori could fit in as long as they have a o-rod connector on their feet.
Kaxium And Cendox fit Agori, Thornatus and Baranus can fit both Agori and Glatorian, and I'm not sure about Skopio.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 10, 2009, 12:11:04 pm
Well, a Glatorian/Toa sized set may fit their feet, but IMO it would look odd to have someone that tall standing there...And with a Glatorian standing there they wouldn't have as much of their body protected...

I think Skopio can fit most sets, but only Telluris looks like he'd really fit properly. The way his arms are built, as well as his body make it a unique spot to fit in. Bitil might manage(if you took his wings off and took the weapons and upper leg armour off(when I get Skopio I may see how Bitil fits).



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 10, 2009, 01:17:50 pm
I'm going to see whio could possibly fit in each vehicle based on their connections:

Cendox:
Crotesius
Metus

Yep, Only two. It has to be a hunched Agori with thing arms and legs.

Kaxium V3:
As long as they have the non-hunched Body , they fit (for Agori)

baranus V7: Pretty much anyone with Metru/Inika/Clawed Piraka/Mantax/Hordika Feet.

Thornatus: Pretty much anyone. Can fit Agori and Glatorian.

Skopio: Designed for Telluris, so that his odd arms can be accomadated to fit the Vehicle.

How do you know? The Baranus doesn't even cover half of Sahmad's Legs.

Also, judging from the new pictures... the movie animators have somehow resorted to doing impossible poses for the characters. The movie sounds bleh. Especially because of three major flaws:

Berix and Kiina
Impossible Poses
Some characters look ugly in some poses


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 10, 2009, 05:34:12 pm
I'm not sure which part of the sentence you're contradicting...

If it's the part about Agori: if you put a Glatorian in there it'd look rediculous.
If it's he part about Mata Feet: the connection is pins like on Ignika's Skyboard, which Mata feet can't go on.

Well, even some CGI pics have impossible poses(I think Toa Ignika had one once). But I think they do the poses like to try and get a living feeling out of the characters, If they only had 13 points of articulation moviewise it'd look unnatural.

The movie does sound(and seem) Bleh. But it's Lego and Tinsletown(who I've never heard of, not that i'm an expert or anything). It's not a high budget thing, probably just to give fans interest. Bionicle Adventure 10 is the best selling Bionicle book, which came out after the 3rd movie, so maybe Lego is trying to stimulate purchase of sets.
I agree with you on the first point, but I think if the characters were limited by setwise posing it would lok odd and stiff. And there's always an ugly person in movies :P

Yes I love vehicles. I just wish we had more sets that could carry two 'agori/glatorian'. Like Kaxium, but much better. I.E: a moving tank-type thing that had a pilot and a turret that had a gunner.

(or a passenger. Baranus and Thornatus might be able to hold a passenger, and so might Skopio.)

At Lego S@H, the pics for Baranus include Sahmad standing on the Spikit, so I guess Baranus can hold 2 figures.

Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 09:38:51 am
I have the cendox now. The tracks, being solid, work very well on carpets, but not wooden floors. Skopio has tracks too, so I guess it has the same thing as Cendox. To turn you have to put Crotesius' fists at the same angle (easy if you hold them down and they are actually holding the handlebars, of course.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 11, 2009, 11:50:13 am
Cool. Yeah, I've heard the tracks aren't great on solid surfaces. Luckily my house is carpeted in most places, so if I play with Skopio in chase scenes it'll work.
And the turning on Cendox is opretty realistic looking. Crotesius actually turns it, whereas Skopio turns itself...

Skopio has 849 pieces, but sadly 96 of them are tread pieces...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 11:53:01 am
Still more than Axalara.  ;)

Cendox is probably the most realistic thing BIONICLE has ever had. Also my house also mostly carpeted. I've also heard that the Kaxium's, baranus' and Thornatus' wheels do not work well on carpet...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 11, 2009, 12:05:24 pm
Kaxium's look rubber, and Thornatus and Baranus don't exactly remind me of wheels(although the Thornatus back wheel is pretty sweet).

and yes, it's still more than Axalara, and the tread looks so cool.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 12:09:30 pm
Them being plastic and not rubber help a lot. They don't come off as easily. To take them off you just have to de-clip them. A lot better, and easier to take off.

Also, Cendox only has one track (made of smaller pieces). It looked like two from all the images I saw


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 11, 2009, 12:14:50 pm
I was looking at pictures on the internet of Skopio, and the treads pieces look really wide...

And the back of Cendox looks really sturdy. How does the turning work(like is the front attached to a rod allowing it to move loosely?)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 12:18:31 pm
Connected to a losse rod that stickes out of the back then covered by the handlebar attachments, making it turn and not be too loose.
That's how Cendox's functions. Also, if you look at the Skopio in the TLR images... why are Telurris' arms the size of its head?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 11, 2009, 12:22:16 pm
I'm guessing that it's an actual Skopio Scorpion, and the hands are there because that's what the set looked like... Although I'm not sure... but the Skopio looks massive...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 12:24:48 pm
It probably is...

Bohrok feet are neccesary for the Cendox, so that the holes on them can have the 3-length rod (that has the 'stud' oin the end) can slip into the Bohrok feet of Crotesius.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 11, 2009, 12:29:17 pm
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?

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)

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.

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'.

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.

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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on August 11, 2009, 02:58:37 pm
I can't stand TRU, I use my local toy shop or S@H when I can. Or sometimes even Argos.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 03:00:46 pm
Argos IMO, is ver y bad when it comes to canister sets. When it comes to Larger sets, it's much better.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on August 11, 2009, 03:04:55 pm
Yeah, I wanted Vastus from there but they only had Ackar and Mata Nui, and I'd ordered Mata Nui of S@H.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 11, 2009, 04:14:27 pm
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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 11, 2009, 05:44:27 pm
@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


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 12, 2009, 08:15:39 am
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?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 12, 2009, 08:28:29 am
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)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 12, 2009, 08:30:39 am
If so, then Kiina might carry Berix's shield, the jungle tribe with gresh's shield, and the rock tribe with Skrall's shield... and this would be ridicoulous:
all the vorox and zesk carrying scarabax shields =p


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 12, 2009, 08:53:50 am
Mata Nui's Shields is pretty cool moviewise. Click transforms into whatever Mata Nui needs(at one point he has a swordlike thing, then the shield etc.)

Berix's shields isn't vefry useful, but Gresh's is. Most skrall carry the skrall shield though...

Looks like the Scarabax Shield, but Sword/Blade form to me...

Didn;t want to spoil it to you, but the Vorox tail is the sword. The ignika transformed it.

I still think Berix could be the traitor. All though what you said about Metus being the traitor, KZ, made sense.
TBD
P.S If thing's transform when they touch the Ignika, why doesn't Mata Nui use that power against the Skrall?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 12, 2009, 01:04:46 pm
Because the Skrall aren't likely to touch his face? How many people do you know that go up to people and touch their faces?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I don't mean like that, oh it doesn't matter. I might put it in a stop-motion movie though...
Anyway, I hope Berix won't be saying too much in the movie, even if I don't watch it, it would still ruin it if that voice was going all the way through the movie.

If they did touch it... Mata Nui doesn't have a Thornax Launcher yet... and...

Doesn't the MoL curse the person who touches it?

anywho, Berix sounds weird, and I'm not sure why they chose for him to sound that way. Gresh sounds like the classic sidekick who wants to be a hero. Mata Nui sounds all mighty and powerful, whereas Ackar sounds wise and old and strong. Kiina sounds, for the most part, excited(and otherwise she's annoying).
Strakk sounds like one of the cooler people(if only he joined Mata Nui)... Is Vastus in the movie?

and Skopio movie version has different feet than set version(movie version has the two Idris blades on both ends of the tracks, which is better for fearsome beast when standing, but wouldn't work setwise.)

'k.

I'm guessing Tank Mode is longer than Scorpion Mode.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Slightly longer, due to the Idris Blades sticking way out.

Tank mode is also more practical for storing it, right?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 14, 2009, 12:01:26 pm
Yeah. He fits on my shelf in tank mode, but not in walker mode. He looks more imposing in walker mode though. Only bad thing about Tank mode is that he has to lie down in order for the tank to have full mobility, and then the front looks empty. And the tail doesn't come up easily.

Tank mode also allows him to move about easily.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 14, 2009, 12:07:38 pm
Why do the big vehicles never have good cockpits? Axalara and Skopio both have cramped pilot spaces. Axalara had something for Lewa to lie on, but on Skopio Telluris just sits there(or lies down, which makes transforming easier).

Suddenly I have found my old money storage thingy and now have enough money to buy an extra legend. Which should I get? Stronius or Gelu?  Both seem good, so I'm torn between. I'm leaning in Stronius' direction, only because he is apparently in the movie and Gelu is not...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on August 14, 2009, 06:08:49 pm
Stronius, hands down. I have both, he is far superior.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 14, 2009, 06:12:16 pm
Okay, then Stronius for me is definite.

My opinions after seeing more reviews:
Gelu=Worst Legend, plain boring inika build
Ackar=Second worst, makes up for it in sheer amount of recolors
Vastus=Fourth best, nice staff, awesome helmet
Kiina=New body,
Stronius=Downright awesome.
Mata Nui=mata nui.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

All VOROX and ZESK: wt

And the Vorox and Zesk atemmpted to eat Stronius, but Stronius somehow teleported to Roxtus.

I made that out of boredom.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 15, 2009, 09:32:53 am
Glatorian Legends in order of best to worst:
Vastus: great new armour and upper arm pieces, coolest mask(arguably)
Kiina(!!?)/Stronius: new body, 4 new limbs, cool armour / Cool armour, matching helmet, a CLUB!
Mata Nui/Ackar: Mata Nui, cool armour and weapon / recolours in great colours(he should be Tahu)
Gelu: inika design with not many new pieces.

The /'s for tied GLs seperate the pros for each one (Kiina comes first, so the first pros are hers).

For best Mask:
-Vastus/Gelu
-Kiina
-Stronius
-Mata Nui
-Ackar

Gelu's mask is too cool to be overlooked. I'd get him almost for the mask alone. If only he got a part in the movie(a good part, like being on Mata Nui's team, which lacks an Ice Tribe member (although Strakk would be cool to have too).

Is Tarix in the movie? Vastus?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 15, 2009, 10:36:51 am
Tarix and Vastus are.

Not all teams need to have on of each-some teams in the MU had elemental overlap (Lhikan's two water toa and four ice toa, other 4 toa unknown)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 15, 2009, 12:11:25 pm
1. Cool

2. Yeah, but it'd still be cool if he was on the team. Besides, for all we know, the other 4 members of Lhikan's team may have been the elements needed to complete a standard team of 6...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 15, 2009, 12:17:49 pm
Oh yeah, and Nidihki and another Toa of Air, I think. 2 Left.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 15, 2009, 12:27:29 pm
Tarix could have been a much better set. I like the hands and feet in Mata Blue, as well as the 3 Gold Inika Shoulder pieces, but put together with Metru Blue and a cheesy helmet, the set looks odd most of the time. Also, the way Tarix holds his weapons looks somewhat painful...

I want Cendox... and Vastus... but mostly Cendox...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: jamesster on August 15, 2009, 01:21:29 pm
IMHO Slizers and Roboriders are better then modern Bionicles. Matoroinika448 has some Roboriders and they rock, and the launchers work great once you learn how to use them. Slizers are cool too, and unlike the newer Bionicles they LOOK like robots.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 15, 2009, 03:13:08 pm
I didn't get any Throwbots/Slizers or Roboriders, and although they look pretty cool, the sets from 2006 to present seem to be the most posable and sturdy sets.

Summer Sets:
0/6 Glatorian Legends 1/5 Vehicles (Skopio) 0/1 Titans

2009 Sets:
4/12 Glatorian 1/5 Vehicles 1/3 Titans (Tuma) 0/6 Agori

I had many more sets last year... The price hike is not good for my wallet. Although my birthday is getting closer, so maybe I'll be able to get more sets then.

Baranus looks like a fun set, since it comes with 3 things to play with(the spikit, chariot and Sahmad). It seems to be growing on me a bit, but with the colour scheme the way it is I doubt I'll get it.
Kaxium looks boxier every time I look at it(which I've stopped doing). But it does come with 4 seperate things to enjoy, which is pretty nice.
It's weird how 3/5 vehicles fit Agori this year, and Skopio fits a half Agori half Glatorian (Glatgorian?), and only Thornatus looks fit to have a Glatorian in it(Perditus is pretty bland though).

From best to worst riders, I'd say:
-Telluris
-Sahmad
-Perditus/Crotesius(as long as Cro keeps his helmet forwards)
-Kirbraz/Sco(if they switched their helmets they pass Cro).

Telluris is the only unique one, and Sahmad actually gets to hold a weapon and a whip. Perditus gets the new arm piece, which is nice, but other than that he's bland. Cro, Kir and Sco are all similar, but Cor is better because of his helmet placement(although I don't like his little feet). Kir and Sco have bad colour schemes.

How are Fero and Skirmix and Baranus?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: 0PureChaos0 on August 15, 2009, 03:46:13 pm
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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: 0PureChaos0 on August 15, 2009, 05:07:41 pm

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

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 16, 2009, 12:03:34 pm
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?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 16, 2009, 12:07:29 pm
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.)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 16, 2009, 12:23:37 pm
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...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 16, 2009, 12:41:32 pm
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.

...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...

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 :P

no. they consider them pests, annoyances, weaklings, vermin, ect. they hate them, but aren't scared of them. In Skrall society, comparing someone to a Scabarax beetle is a deep insult.

what BS01 has to say about Skrall & Scabarax:

Quote from: BS01 Wiki
Some Agori claim to find their company enjoyable, but the Skrall speak condescendingly of the beetles, comparing their enemies to them.

I've given up reading RoS... the whole thing is confusing, with multiple dimensions and whatnot. Plus, I find EotS and RotGB more enjoyable.

and maybe Mata Nui's mask is more valuable than other stuff. Not so much his sword, but the creator of the sword(which looks pretty cool. Too bad the set didn't come with that instead of the wimpy shield.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on August 17, 2009, 05:37:19 pm
or the thornax. the MN set would have been WAY better if it had the cool movie sword instead of the thornax. :P

then again, the Ackar set would have been epic if he had his movie sword and shield instead of his fiery word and el thornax. :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 17, 2009, 05:49:07 pm
The Movie Ackar does have his set sword. Look at one of the new pics.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 17, 2009, 05:53:43 pm
most sets would be better without Thornax(especially Tarix, who's Thornax placement looks aweful, and Vorox, who should have claws instead of a staff and launcher).
Malum is the only set who can actually use the Thornax well setwise. Strakk could've done with Metus' shield, and same goes for Ackar but with Raanu's. Kiina could use a shield, and Gresh needs a weapon other than a shield. I guess Vastus is also okay the way he is, since his weapon incorporates the shield. Gelu definately needs to get rid of his Thornax and add a Metus Shield(which, IMO, would look really good combined with his swords, helmet and shoulder armour).



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 17, 2009, 05:56:49 pm
Gresh's Shield CAN split into two swords, you know. He basically has three weapons in two, a weapon that can be two swords or one shield and a thornax Launcher.

Just because Vorox are beasts doesn't mean they need claws-they already have stingers, clawed feet and mandibles.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 17, 2009, 06:00:33 pm
yeah, but while it's tow swords it's not a shield, and while it's a shield it's not 2 swords :P

and Vorox being beasts that can wield weapons kinda takes away from their beastness, IMHO. But yes, they do have clawed feet, mandibles and EPICSTINGERTAILSWHICHWEMUSTBE WARE!!11!

-Titan EL

Summer:
-6 New Glatorian or something(maybe a second SotS)
-4 Other Titan EL

Since I'm pretty sure Bionicle is stopping Vehicles ( :'( ) they could go back to more titans, and so the 6 EL could be titans, allowing Bio to release 6 new Glatorian in the summer. They could also revert to having animal sets as store exclusives, so that we could get the Sand Bat and a better form of the Malum/Fero/Skirmix combo. Maybe even 1 small vehicle...

I thought Bionicle wasn't continuing to sell vehicles because they did not sell well last year(and this year's vehicles had to be made in time for the movies, which is why we have them this year). I hope Bionicle decides to continue selling vehicles, but if they don't it would be nice to have good titans with complex builds(like the 2001-2002 rahi and machines(exo-toa/boxor)).

It never says the ELs towered over the Agori. I always thought they are Glatorian sized-don't you remember from RoTGB 6 that they used to be Glatorian, but then given elemental powers and becoming their element?

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I know. They could have done something like they did with Skrall, with the Thornax and Sword being on the same weapon.

Besides, his Titan's sword hardly even looks like the Movie Sword.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on August 18, 2009, 02:15:51 pm
personally, i have suspicions that Titan Mata Nui is a non-canon set. we've had them before (though always in the form of playsets before, but w/e) and the concept art from the very first TLR preview shows what seems to be the end of the movie, and MN's still canister style. plus that titan "shield" is plain freaky. no way that's click.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 18, 2009, 02:17:20 pm
it is Non-canon. Haven't you been kepping up with the OGD when it was accessable?

It never says the ELs towered over the Agori. I always thought they are Glatorian sized-don't you remember from RoTGB 6 that they used to be Glatorian, but then given elemental powers and becoming their element?

Depending on how a titan is built it might be only slightly taller than a Glatorian, but a lot bulkier. Personally, I think of the EL as powerful people, and putting them in a canister makes them seem equal in power to other sets (exception being MN, who is more powerful). Tuma is not that much taller than a canister set, but he's harder to build, and has more armour. Think of how much better a set would be if it were a titan than a canister(they don't have to be MNT or Takanuva sized titans, but Tuma sized titans).

And yeah, MNT isn't cannon. That shield is rediculously sized, and his sword looks like a toothpick compared to the size of the set.

@KZ:Yeah, but still, how much better would they have been had they been titan sized. IMO, the elemental lords should be bigger than the average canister set, and as titans they would be more different from one another than canisters. I see that Bionicle body designs aren;t about to change in the near future, and do you really want an EL Inika style?

Plus, the most powerful Makuta(Icarax and Teridax) were titan sized ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Midnght on August 18, 2009, 02:33:05 pm
I would have to go with titan being non-cannon as well unless some where down the line he changes again.

His feet and legs are not even close to the canister mata nui, plus he has extraclaws on his shoulders (not the one used in the shiled aqnd weapon but ones like in the baranus set on the Sahmad.

Also I picked up Skopio he's pretyt cool but his cock pit sucks. I expected something strudier and more robust there much like the legs and tank treads themselves.

Mata Nui

Gresh
Ackar

ELs, for me, wouldn't make sense as Titans. When a kid hears 'beings who can control the elements to their will', hey think 'cool!'. What happens when they find out it's too expensive for them to buy? Why not canisters, the main selling parts of BIONICLE?

didn't know that, i was thinking black technic paces. but since white is more realistic, lets go w/ that.

nah, baterra don't have those.

and the silver hand pieces? me too

speaking of hand pieces, why did they give Ackar grey? it looks bad. they have mata red, and (i think) orange. and they give him grey. go figure.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 18, 2009, 05:16:15 pm
SHINY BATERRA (although after 2008 summer sets I don't think people are gonna appreciate it, although maybe they will, since its a Baterra...>_>

and yes, Ackar should have recieved Mata Red hands(which were used for Skrall, so it wouldn't have been a new colour piece to create).
Telluris should've recieved keetorange arms instead of yellow. Or maybe more yellow parts. But he looks funny with oddly coloured arms.

What would a SotS look like? I was thinking Mata Blue and Black, which, IMO, would look pretty good, and would give more Mata Blue parts for MoCing. =)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on August 18, 2009, 05:20:03 pm
yeah, that sounds good. and a hood piece that goes over the trans-blue iron man head, with vezon's cape. and a wood-like staff, 2 pieces, and the top (or bottom) should have a cross axle hole so you can MOC it into a spear!

yeah, i have it all planned out. if only Lego could see what was in my head.  ;D

Post by: The Host on August 18, 2009, 05:31:07 pm
we could have a whole topic about which sets should come out next year. And since I've been outnumbered on the EL being cans instead of titans, the lineup for next year could be:

Winter:
Mata Nui
Gresh
Kiina
Ackar
SotS
Plagued Tribe Member (PTM)
Baterra Titan(or not)
Animal Titan

Summer:
6EL Canister Sets
PTM w/ Vehicle
SotS Titan(the males have Tuma, so why not?)

... Okay, I obviously have missed something here; what's a plagued tribe member?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 18, 2009, 05:56:41 pm
Telluris and Sahmad are from that tribe. Around 103,000 years ago, their tribe was given a plague and there are few of them left. The other Agori Shunned these Agori and Glatorian, and they are now like Sahmad and Telluris.
We call them Plagued Tribe, since they have no element yet.


I also think a Village's Glatorian system might work like this:

Primary Glatorian
Secondary Glatorian
Agori Pilot
Glatorian Pilot
Trade caravan Protector
Trainees


All Glatorian who don't have any of these are usually Bandits like Telluris.

I think this was brought up earlier, but... How do they get the vehicles anyway?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 18, 2009, 06:10:36 pm
Baranus:

Sahmad probably paid the Skrall with captives with it (I dnno)

Telluris built his Skopio.

BTW, the Skopio in the newest TLR clip IS NOT the Skopio Xv-1. It's the actual creature.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on August 18, 2009, 06:14:08 pm
Skopio: Yeah, I figured that much from the look of it. ... Why do you think that scene's at the end of the movie?

And what about the other vehicles, like Cendox?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 18, 2009, 06:17:01 pm
1. At the end od the movie? What?

2. Crotesius built the Cendox.
Kaxium and Thornatus are regular BMian vehicles.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on August 18, 2009, 06:20:38 pm
1.
personally, i have suspicions that Titan Mata Nui is a non-canon set. we've had them before (though always in the form of playsets before, but w/e) and the concept art from the very first TLR preview shows what seems to be the end of the movie, and MN's still canister style. plus that titan "shield" is plain freaky. no way that's click.

I don't believe it's the end of the movie. ...... Waitasec, gah, I read it wrong. >>

2. Can agori build stuff though...?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 18, 2009, 06:23:36 pm
It's what it says on Crotesius' Bio.

1. Where was it said that Agori couldn't build stuff again?

2. Yeah? I wish we did. Though of course I probably wouldn't go, for various reasons, though it'd be awesome to see/hear all the explosions and fights and such. ^^

3. Long story time? =P

Story Update: I saw, that's interesting...

SPPPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOIIIIIIIIIII ILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEE ERRRRRRRRRRR


















And they realized there's a traitor amongst them from Gresh's explanation. Also, if they get elemental powers... And Elemental lords are Glatorians with Elemental/Toa powers... Wouldn't at least Gresh be an Elemental Lord(Now)? =O


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 18, 2009, 06:43:05 pm
Build/Create: Crotesius apparently patched the Cendox together using parts won from Tesara and Tajun.

They finally realize it... the traitor...

IMO, the traitor is Metus. He trains Glatorian and employs Glatorian, and has seen a lot of fighting. What better traitor than the one who knows all their weaknesses and strengths?



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Solo Rogue on August 18, 2009, 06:48:49 pm

People didn't like the Mistika for these two reasons though...

They didn't look anything like the Nuva, and they had more silver than the primary colours(Something Pohatu shared >_>). Since this'll be about pure silver/white, I don't think people would complain.

Didn't like the Mistika? I mean I'm a picky bionicle buyer I buy what I think looks cool, the Makuta Mistka were awesome some of the best and coolest looking bionicles in a long time.

In fact it was the Mistika that really got me back in to buying again.

I can agree most of the Matoran Mistika sucked IMHO. But the Makuta soo cool I own all of them.
Oh well guess you can't please some people. }:>)

Post by: The Host on August 19, 2009, 08:22:04 am
Movie Skopio gets way better parts than set Skopio. Telluris is basically fused with movie Skopio, giving him yellow armour to make up for the empty cockpit space, and it gets 8 more Idris blades(those are tied with other weapons for my fav weapon ever(the others being Strakk's Axe, Jaller Mahri's Sword, Hahli's Claw, Kopaka's Sword, and Tahu's Sword).

@Midnight: People liked the Makuta Mistika, but not the Toa Nuva Mistika, who were covered in Silver pieces. I bought all 3 because they looked cool(especially Tahu), but many people on BZP thought that they were some of the worst sets in Bio History...

@KZ: pretty cool that you're related to Chirox. Can you create Kraata?

btw, TRU CAD is selling Toa Mahri(Jaller and Hahli) for less than Agori on their site...  :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Midnght: Meh, the only Mistika I didn't like and didn't get was Bitil, even though Gorast was a little short... But that was a little more accurate.

bitil's not so bad. He's got really long limbs and is very flexible becuase of them. the wings he has are kinda lame using the larege shield piece. but overall he's not so bad, got some pluses.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 20, 2009, 07:13:15 am
I still have Bitil as my least favourite mistika... the silver should have been yellow. Especially the wings.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 20, 2009, 07:15:22 am
I love Bitil. Best Makuta Mistika IMO, and 2nd best Mistika overall(Tahu being first, IMO). I have all six, and I have to say that Krika is one of the worst, if not the worst of them all. He looks really cool in the CGI pics, but as a set he isn't posable thanks to his limbs and he has the worst neck in the world(the whole wobbling thing, which affects his launcher too.

Gorast is nice, and I like the 6 Avtoran limbs in lime, but because of those limbs she is short, but at least her legs are posable. The wings are nice too.

@KZ: yes, the silver becoming yellow on Bitil would've been fantastic, but I still think Bitil was a great set. The mask also looked really nice(although it would've been better if it fit all heads).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 20, 2009, 07:23:45 am
I wish they would use the Makuta Torso again... this time in a different colour, and having a recolored Krika armour.

I'm surprised at how little the Inika torso was used in 08. Only 6 times

Lewa (both)
Pohatu (Rockoh)
Kopaka
Gorast
Onua

Piraka Torso:
Ignika
Antroz (Jetrax)
Tahu
Gali

Makuta Torso:
Antroz
Vamprah
Chirox
Mutran
Icarax
Krika

Matoran Torso Type 1:
Tanma
Solek
Mazeka
Radiak

Matoran Torso Type 2:
Gavla
Kirop
Vican
Photok
Vultraz

Kongu Torso:
Pohatu


That's about five different Torsos we had last year... why couldn't they do that this year? But with no Piraka torsos, because absolutely no Piraka Torsos  (Finally. This year end of Inika Torsos?) have been used this year.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 20, 2009, 07:50:57 am
Takanuva also used Inika Torso, and Bitil used Avtoran Torso Type 2.

Torsos that should be thrown away forever: Piraka and Kongu(Piraka looks aweful whichever way it's attached, and Kongu Torso is short and looks blocky on sets).
The inika torso is decent, and can connect in many ways, but it's so skinny. If they could add bulk to it while not leaving gaping sideways holes(Gresh, we're looking at you) it would be great.

The Avtoran torsos are simple and effective, although I prefer type 1 because the head isn't sinking into the body, and the arms are at a reasonable height.

The Makuta Torsos are epic win except for the top pin hole, which should have been a + hole and not a O hole...

And yes on the Krika armour recolours, but not to use it like MN or Onua, who make it look goofy. It's not big enough to be chest armour like that, and it fits better on Makuta Torsos IMO.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 20, 2009, 08:02:13 am
IMO, they don't make it look goofy at all. They make it look like what it's supposed to be: armour. Unlike the other two inika types.

Besides, I hardly think the Kongu torso is Blocky.

Gresh's holes can easily be fixed: just make the o rods 3-length o-rods (don't connect them into the armour).

Piraka: the proportions SUCK.  it looks best in a non-metalic color, with matching hips and neck piece.

kongu: never seen it, so no comment.

inika: personally my fav torso. and there's a really easy fix: remember those technic beams, just sticks of o-holes? there's a 2-hole one of those (yes, just 2-long) in a lot of sets. put that in. :P

ad i think makuta torsos look best like krika.

we don't have any piraka or makuta torsos this year because the glatorian neck can't really attach to them, without getting the deadly infectious disease known as Strakk-Neck-Syndrome.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 20, 2009, 11:08:54 am
Actually, it's Krika Neck Syndrome.

They could create a new piece for the makuta Torso. It's my second favourite torso. Even though some people say it has worse proportions, adding armour to the metru hip easily fixes that. Besides, it's not thin either. While the Inika and Makuta Torsos do have some bulk and no gears (those Metru and Mata were an annpyance), they should not be used as Spiriah Torsos.

Hrmmmm

Sounds like a fun competition.

Trouble is I don't have Gresh or Ackar.

But perhaps it could be extended.

Say any Glatorian figure combination (Vehicles and special sets not allowed.) must be 4 figures combined.

Sets okay to use....
Atakus
Rannu
Tarduk
Berix
Metus
Zesk
Skrall
Malum
Gresh
Tarix
Strakk
Vorox
Stronius
Ackar
Vastus
Kiina
Gelu
Mata Nui

I myself only have
Atakus
Zesk
Skrall
Stronius
Vastus
Kiina
Mata Nui

From the above list. So that's what'd I'd have to work with.

@Paradox
Good clip. I have to say I think this movie is going to be superb. I love the extra detail they put into it as well all the spinning parts on their bodies like actual machinery. I never noticed that in the other three films. It's one of those little touches that's just way cool.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 21, 2009, 10:36:16 am
@New Movie Clip: That sucks. Berix and Kiina's voices aren't bad(but Kiina went Wahoo!, which is pretty annoying). I don't like the fact that they get toa powers, because then the entire skill part of Glatorian fights is out. I wish that they only had powers when Mata Nui had physical contact with them. But the clip itself wasn't bad.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 21, 2009, 10:38:55 am
How do you it's the glatorian and not the weapon? Besides, isn;t this the movie where elemental powers are actually used, unlike the other three where they were too afraid to use their elemental powers.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 21, 2009, 12:08:08 pm
Okay, that their weapons get elemental powers, and they can use them.

And its not that I don't like people using powers, but I thought Bara Magna was a place where we could have hand to hand combat instead of blast of elements...

@Midnight: Just add Atacus in, or fero, to get the last black coloured set.

@Blade: surprise surprise... I would love to combine Metus, Strakk and Gelu, fo an ultimate ice set. With the many ice pieces included with it, it would really add the element into it. I'm just not sure which mask I'd use, as both Strakk and Gelu have the best masks of the year, IMO.

Best masks:
Strakk/Gelu(Ice design and mouth/Greatest design ever:eyes connect to mouth, V shape)
Vastus/Vorox/Kiina(Snake/Cool Mouth/Sleek)
Stronius(Rocky design is nice)
Skrall/Fero lol(Long and top design is cool)
Ackar(but not Berix)(Fiery and sleek)
Gresh(works on the set, but not by itself as much)
Malum(Firery, but not great)
Mata Nui(plain mask)
Tarix(plain goofy mask)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2009, 05:47:33 pm

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 22, 2009, 11:30:20 am
Ackar's new sword(aka the sets sword) looks less cool than his previous one. Kiina and Gresh both got better weapons, but Ackar lost out, IMO.

Gresh sounds like the common sidekick, always wanting to help out. Almost childish. Which is a letdown, although I guess I saw that coming.

BTW: is Raid on Vulcanus out yet in Canada?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 22, 2009, 11:44:08 am

I have the thornatus. It really is an awesome set, quite big but notas big as I;d expected it to be. It's longer than axalara and the build is in no way similar to jetrax. The thornax turret is very poseable and such can have an agori/glatorian aiming it.

Oh yeah, and BTW, in that new clip, Kiina didn't really sound right when she said 'you mean like this?'

I want Cendox, and maybe Thornatus, out of those sets. Is MNT really as bad as people say?

Not IMO. If he didn;t have those pistons, he would have an awkward circle in his torso. If you remove his shoulder armour, the weapons and the bitil wings on his legs and give him a mata head, he looks a good deal like the CGI Mata Nui Robot, except yellow. Most of those people are the ones who don;t have the set. I can understand the gold, because there's never been keetorange Inika Armour before (which we need badly) , and the gold mask of life is pretty much wanted by everybody.
Yeah, and TMN cost me 40 pounds, not sure how much that is in canadian dollars.

Kaxium really is dull. Its only features are the split up and thornax. Baranus sacrifices functions for poseability (Spikit and Sahmaad) (Thornax Launcher) and Thornatus has functions and moves pretty well on any surface.

MNT is $64.99 CAD on S@H I think, and about the same on TRU CAD. Whih means even if you say he's the best set I won't get him.

Kaxium looks blocky, but you get 2 Matoran Agori and 2 Vehicles in one, which is somehwat of a place(especially since its $40 CAD, and Agori are $8 each(which means the vehicle is only $24). I don't like the wheels on Kaxium that much though.

Baranus is Baranus. I'd say he is the average large set this year(Skopio, Cendox and Thornatus above him, MNT tied or below, and Kaxium at the bottom). But the sets all depend on what you want. MNT is great if you want a Titan, and what makes him not the greatest is how his head sticks up. If he had a large mask(Taka08) he wouldn't look so odd. And he is full of MOCing pieces(6 pistons is always welcome).

Are you gonna do a review for any of the sets you got?(Baranus/Cendox/Thornatus)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 24, 2009, 03:08:11 pm
The plus about MNT is that he has a custom torso. Look on the instructions if you don't believe me =D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 24, 2009, 03:11:30 pm
I refuse to believe you!!  :P

Forgot about that... I did read the instructions(for all the summer sets other than Skopio the day they came out(or the day they were announced at BZP)).

The new clip is pretty cool. Skopio is strong. Too bad its just an animal. Although it dwarfs everything else, which the set doesn't do entirely(although Tanma fits under it).

Well, the clip was good, but... WHY THE ROCK STEED DO THE ROCK STEEDS SOUND LIKE HORSES?

That fight was fast-paced...

Alright guys, I'm gonna MOC a set of 6 Toa. But I'm also gonna write an epic in the Writing sub-forum of MLNO to go with them. It will narrate their lives as they try to survive in the apocalyptic, Makuta-ruled Metru Nui. The Toa will be the Toa Karata, and they will include Tanma, Solek and Photok. I should be opening the epic by the end of the week, maybe even by the end of the night. I'm a quick writer.

Oh, and don't expect the MOC Toa anytime soon.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 25, 2009, 08:02:03 am
@KZ & MTM: Agreed that they shouldn't sound like horses and should sound like Dinos. Otherwise it was a good clip, but Skopio could've been featured more. One thing I don't get:
Why does Kiina drive the way she does, just going side to side while still heading towards the Skopio?Wouldn't it be better to just go around it? I dunno, but it seems odd. And she seems way to into steering, as if its hard to do(although the steering on the set looks hard to use).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 25, 2009, 08:30:41 am
That's because the Thornatus steering is hard to use. Besides, that Skopio is very large and quick. I would surely desstroy them if they decided to go around them, or even near it.

And I think I can predict what happens next... Skopio vs. Bonehunters

Interesting to see the MU in the movie, and the AV-matoran, and the robot looked wier when it 'gasped'.

Go to Exclusive Clip 3... it's the trailer.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 25, 2009, 12:01:02 pm
I'd like to see that in the actual movie, just so that we know the context of it, and not have to pause to see it. GS robot looked interesting though.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

It probably is, otherwise it wouldn't be trailer-like.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

True... So then it must be the first part, before the 'The Legend Reborn' thing you see in the first Sneak Peek or so.

Did you notice you see one of the scenes shown in those pictures? Specifically the one where MN rides the shield? I like Ackar's quote there, even if I can't remember it correctly. =P

Post by: Blade on August 25, 2009, 12:14:06 pm
1. If you're talking about when they're fighting, I think that was a Thornax.

2. Probably to show that it's under Teridax's control, but I was wondering about that myself.

3. Could you post the news topic? I'd do it, but...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 25, 2009, 12:42:46 pm
1. No, Mata Nui put tarix's weapons up to his head.

3. Normal members usually can't post news topics.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 25, 2009, 12:47:35 pm
1. *Raises eyebrows* Must've missed that part... Was it near the end of the clip where he uses both hands? I thought that part was him transforming his sword...

3. Post it in Bionicle with all the necessary info, and I'll move it. =)

Post by: Trijhak on August 25, 2009, 01:09:45 pm
3. Done.

1. Looks more like Tarix's weirdsword.

Also Avtoran yay. They even have them in different colors, and they look more like agori now.

Check your email:

BIONICLE®: The Legend Reborn Comes to DVD! The newest BIONICLE movie, The Legend Reborn, comes to DVD on September 15th! With awesome CGI (computer generated imagery), an exciting script, and plenty of action, it's sure to be the best BIONICLE movie of them all.

Exiled from his universe and stripped of his mighty powers, Mata Nui finds himself on the harsh and barren world of Bara Magna. His mission: find a way back home to save his people from a great evil. But before he can do that, he discovers that the people of this new world are in terrible danger from barbarians called Skrall. Now Mata Nui must ally with brave warriors called Glatorian to face overwhelming odds.

"Mata Nui is facing a whole new life," says Greg Farshtey, author of the film's story. "He is used to being enormously powerful and in control. Now he has to work with others, trust them, and risk his life for a world that isn't his. He's facing a lot of challenges besides just the power of the Skrall."

Make sure to check out the movie trailer! Look for BIONICLE®: The Legend Reborn next month, wherever DVDs are sold.

1. Me. Kiina isn't that bad... And if you're wondering about Ackar(Brickeens mentioned this on his blog on BZP), then have you ever fought a sword vs. axe fight against someone who can throw an axe at you and toss you back into a rock? It'd probably not be the easiest fight, explaining the grunts. =P

Is Vorox a good set?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on August 27, 2009, 06:26:40 pm
By looking at pictures of it I'd say yes, although some people complained that the mask is smaller than they had hoped for. And if you dislike Blue Pins, then Vorox may not appeal to you, since his armour attaches using blue 3 length pins(which is rediculous, since the pins staick out behind him afterwards).
The tan would be neat to have, and the tail looks pretty cool. The downside is that he has no new weapon, and his lifecounter attaches in a weird position(like Skrall, although on Skrall the problem is easily solved).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on August 27, 2009, 06:30:59 pm
On Skrall the problem is not easily solved... If you put it on his Inika Torso he can't look straight...

Is Vorox a good set?

I think so. But as said the blue pins are totally stupid. but anyone with enough pieces can replace them with half pin black pieces.
the tails are cool on both vorox and vesk. but again it's not some special new piece it's mad eup of standard parts usually a foot or a leg piece I think it is. on of the 95 degree arms the ball join connector used as hands more often than not and the blade. Pretty simple to replicate. the tan pieces are very very nice in color.
The tan and brown colored leg and arm armor is very nice instead of say solid black.
The game piece isn't in the way as they place it on the back of his foot.
The masks rock imho but I don't hate half masks.
All in all for the price I think they kick butt.
But I do like the more bestial looking Bionicles and Vehicles.

But in your opinion what makes a good set?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 28, 2009, 09:33:18 am
The tail blade is one of the blades Solek used last year, and the sword blade is just the generic(Now) Hewkii Mahri blade. =P

Two more things I forgot to post many times. One, I recently noticed that Gravity Hurts, contrary to popular belief, fits the whole 2008 storyline, not just Winter '08.

"For freedom we Rise,
Learn to fly, take the sky, Legends will carry you" -- Winter '08.
"Thousands of miles
Take a stand, hold the land, make sure that everyone's" -- Summer '08, Mistika.
"Ready to win
Find the speed, all you need" -- Summer '08, Vehicle battle and escape part.
"Team up for battle we fly, fly" -- Just about all of '08.

Second... Remember how I said Mata Nui's movie sword couldn't be made? ... I was wrong. >=D When I get my new Hard Drive, I'll get pics of the sword, Ignika wielding it, Updated Toa Blade(Who is huge BTW) holding it, possibly Gresh holding it, and possibly more. And it's so simple an idea, I don't know why I didn't see it earlier. =D Also, I'll get to uploading those other pics *Looks at the Karda Nui pics that of them only Krika got uploaded*, and taking new pics of Updated Toa Blade(Huge I tell ya. ... Towers over Ignika, and is even slightly taller than Gresh. =O). I'm not sure if I'll continue one of the projects of the Karda Nui pics, as it's a little outdated by now... Who'd want me to try to remake that project for this year though? ... Yes, no-one knows about it yet, but... Hint: I mentioned a hint about it somewhere in this post.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

@KZ: Well, I reversed the torso on Skrall, so that:
1. It looks more sturdy
2. It can hold the Metru Chest and the Life Counter

Skrall still works the same way, and the only downfall is a slightly lower position for the arms to lock onto, which doesn't look to bad.

I've got TMN too.

I modified with one of Tarix's Shoulder Armour, nived the Inika Leg Armour upward so that the top was below the Inika Foot, with the INika Shoulder Armour below it, attached by the half pin. Looks much better, as the silver Gahlok-Kal Shield is hidden.

That thing to attach the sword is one of those half-circle rods, correct? That's actually a pretty cool idea...

And that sword does look epic on Mata Nui, as I thought =D(And yes, I know, I forgot the last instruction of putting the third plus rod in the bottom of that thing on the handle, but it seems to realized that =P

Some people have seen TLR.





[spoiler]
Apparently Two Characters die. One's in the BBB Music Video...
[/spoiler]




Though I still wonder who the traitor is... IMO it's Metus. He just has right personality IMO. And if he is, I'll say...

[kiina]I was right! Proof of what I was saying for Months! wahoo[/kiina] :P
But there's still Raanu and Berix... I dunno, geting hard to guess now.

Post by: Ddude The Insane on September 01, 2009, 09:09:59 am
*gasp* They die??

*hopes that it's Kiina and Berix's voice actors who die* =P =P

Hm, well let's look at who the traitor could be:

Strakk
Malum
Vorox
Gresh
Tarix
Berix
Raanu
Tarduk
Metus
Zesk
Mata Nui
Kiina
Ackar
Gelu
Vastus

I think Raanu may have been the traitor. He insisted that the Glatorian leave after the Bone Hunter Raid, yet they attacked again not much later....and he did nothing to help Ackar in that battle against Strakk in that TLR clip. Then again, there were 3 of him....

The traitor's an Agori.

[spoiler]... The first one's pretty obvious since rocks fall directly onto him and smash him to the ground. =P[/spoiler]

Yeah, the traitor's an Agori, and I say Metus. MLN campaign even helps with evidence(See the fact that Atakus is Metus' friend...? ;))


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on September 01, 2009, 12:09:58 pm
Well, it's either Berix or Metus IMO. I forgot that Atakus is Metus' friend.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on September 01, 2009, 07:13:04 pm
Metus. Probably Metus. Although, Berix is somewhat defensive of being accused of stealing...and he appeared in that cave at the end of Comic 1.


Which reminds me, for some reason I never got comic three, but guess who just got lego mag with Comic #4! ^_^ Although it pretty much just shows the events of Strakk and Ackar's fight, and MN,Ackar and Kiina riding along, and getting attacked by Bone Hunters and Skopio. Nothing we haven't seen in trailers. It was narrated by MN. Oh, and apparently Strakk is going to be exiled for his little treachery in teh arena. He had it coming.

...oh, and I almost forgot-Lego is holding a special "build your own Glatorian" contest! top 5 get Camera, $100 lego gift card and comic autographed by Greg. the 15 after that get the same, but no gift card.

When's the contest end? And I've seen the scans of the comic, I think the scene when Mata Nui gets the stinger tail touched to the mask is awesome...

But it depicts the piece that they never included. =/ And I never got Comic three either, but apparently you can contact Lego's Customer Service to get it, according to Greg.

I've got TMN too.

I modified with one of Tarix's Shoulder Armour, nived the Inika Leg Armour upward so that the top was below the Inika Foot, with the INika Shoulder Armour below it, attached by the half pin. Looks much better, as the silver Gahlok-Kal Shield is hidden.

Tarix is a Terrible Set, people.

i have him, and i think he's great. but you have to take off the thornax. and iff you have 2 extra of those weird grey +rods, he's even better.

EDIT: anyone here get brickmadster? there's an epic mata nui can fold-out poster done by pop mahn, which i now own. =D

BIONICLE Part is meh. Just has the GL and already-seen movie images. And the page focuses on Ackar. However, in the info about Gelu, they really messed up by saying Gelu ptotects trade Caravans from the Evil Agori and protects Innocent Trading Skrall XD

So anyone seen the movie yet?

I have and while I understand their reasons for the ending style it left me perterbued but wanting more. It's going to be a long Glatorian haul folks.

As for dead characters I'm in serious doubt they are dead. It's bionicles.

But I will say this scarabax rock! }:>)

And oddly enough Strakk or Gelu is only seen in that fight not in the movie any more after that. Perhaps more next episodes since he is one of the elements and needs to get added to the group in general.

You will like the movie for more history on Mata Nui which is way cool.

Loads of bionicle language in the movie, it will be neat to see what it all says when someone pauses and deciphers.


Big question I have though. When oh when is the Snake Bionicle going to come out for us to own.

You can see him in the Kiuina movie promo but that's all I'm telling you about the snake.

Oh yeah and Lego owes us a pair of grey hand parts for the Bone hunters we own that weren't supplied with the set. }:>(

1. ... It's not out here... Are you in Autralia by any chance? Because it comes out in NA next Wednesday(In 7 days), and in the UK on October 5th, last I checked.

2. There's gonna be another movie next year if this sells enough =)

3. *Points at poor Botar and Matoro*

4. That Click does ^^ Of course, I've only seen the clips currently, but Click's funny in them.

5. Well, technically they could release someone else with Ice powers, or just forgo them, or at least Strakk, since well, Strakk doesn't exactly play by the rules. =P And there's a reason why Strakk's not in the rest of the movie, if anyone's seen the recent comic. But he would be cool to have in the group, as they need someone who doesn't just go against the Skrall and co for no reason.

6. Spoiler filled if I respond for info, so I'm not gonna comment. =P

7. Hmm, interesting, Bionicle Language? When it comes out here, mind PMing me certain locations of the text, after I've watched it? =P

8. I have no clue, but it looks like a common rahicreature that has a Metus mask, doubt it's any importance... Look at others, like Klakk and such. And if so, then it may be a Brickmaster or such promo like Click this year. And if I'm wrong, then let us find out in the movie ;) ... Plus, how would you build it? =/

9. *Coughs* Kiina movie.

10. Ackar says Hi. =P

True, but I can't see the big guy being dead he's just covered in rocks I'm sure he can burrow since he did pop up form the sand anyway.

I gott'a say he' smuch cooler with his rider laying down. I modified my own to movie match way better than a seated position.


Not a spoiler I'd say but here's the list of characters you don't see in the movie.

Stronious in Person (but you do see this bionicle form, several at one time)
Gelu
Skrall
Malum
Zesk
Tarduk in Person (but you do see this bionicle form a plenty as general population)
Atakus in Person (but you do see this bionicle form a plenty as the Skrall)
Crotesius and the Cendox
Scodonius, Kirbaz and the Kaxium
Sahmad and Spikit the Baranus
Fero and Skirmax in Person (but you do see this bionicle form a plenty as the Bone Hunters)


So look for them in Bionicle The Creator Unknown (Hahaha)

1. Not out here yet either. But um... There's a site with it up. You can watch for 57 minutes one day 57 the next. Of course you can see it all and download if you pay them. Which is just plain wrong to pay a website to watch a movie they shouldn't have up anyway. Go figure.

3. In above post I think the big guys still alive though and likely the other one as well. Need to kepe evil around and what not for a couple of movies.

4. Yeah interesting dialouge through the whole thing Scarabax are seen as disgusting creatures by the general populaces it seems. They are very very cool though you'll see. }:>)

5. I'd wager it will be Gelu the Glatorian Legend for ICE in the upcoming films.

7. Trust me you won't need my help to spot the language every where in the right scenes. };>)

You see Skrall in the movie... And apparently a model of Malum. And well, um, Roxtus is the place that the Skrall live in.

*Responses to me, number one*

1. -_- Will you at least buy it when it comes out so we may have a chance at the next movie being made?

3. Skopio got piles of rocks on him(if you're wondering why I said that, look at the BBB music video, or the latest sneak peek), which is kinda different from burying down in the sand...

4. Ackar seems to think so at least. =P

5. Possibly... Depends on if they go and find a caravan route and convince him to join, if we're even on Bara Magna next year(We've gotta wait for November's comic for full wrap-up)

7. Okay then, is there any hidden that I may overlook?

8. Is that the image from the movie, or the clip? The clip may be a better choice for right now, just in case.

9. =P

So look for them in Bionicle The Creator Unknown (Hahaha)

Then why do we see the Roxtus Arena in the film? And Roxtus isn;t a character... it's a village. The Skrall. The Bone Hunters. It's where they come from.

Hmm that's true Skrall are generic more or less like Stronius he's generic to there's two of him in the movie.
1. The day I watched I went looking for it to rent or buy but it wasn't around I thought it came out on the 5th but am mistaken.

3. Yes but he's still on soft earth he burrowed out of. So he could burrow under the rocks and get away. The controller of skopio is protected, his heads inside the head of the skopio unit. So he might still be alive.

4. It's more thna just ackar. One of those running jokes in the begining of the movie. Ew you have a scarbax on you let me knock it off. Lots of people try hahaha.

5. Well Gelu is the Ice Legend, with all the other legends forming the main grew in the movie it wouldn't surprise me. Only odd man out really is Gresh.
It forms up Mata nui, Ackar, Kiina, Gresh. 
Vastus and Tarix settle some tribal dispute. Thus Vastus never makes it into the core unit oddly enough.

7. There are some less obvious ones carved into stone for a frame or two.

8. Took it form the clip. But it is part of the movie.

3. That was the Skopio creature though, not Telluris. ;)

4. Nice xD

5. Yeah, but he's not a Glatorian anymore, and they never came across any caravan routes, explaining why Gelu's not in the film. ;) Even though he's awesome. And Vastus didn't make it in simply because Gresh is already in the group. Same with Tarix, because Kiina was in the group.

7. Ah, okay.

Why ask a rhetorical question then give the answer too?

Yeah I kind'a of have been shown that.

It's kind of silly the bone hunters and the skrall are all from the same place.
Cause based on the movie plot bone hunters and skrall being from Roxtus really doesn't Work.
I think at one point they are touted as nomads or crazy. Perhaps bone hunters are outcast skrall?

Maybe in the next film we will hear mor eabout the Spherus Magna war to.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on September 08, 2009, 01:21:38 pm
The Bone Hunters only look like Atakus because their original design looks too much like a mini-Skrall. They're really not from Roxtus at all, IIRC. And they are nomads.

7. Ah, okay.

8. 'k.

Omega.

3. Go back and watch the clip very closely especially the 7th one and do some pausing.
Right as skopios getting ready to fire upon Mata Nui. They show his back red plates open up and you can clearly see telerius laying down with his head shoved in under the head of skopio feet pointed backwards then it swoops around and you see his arms meeting hands holding on to the side of the skopio unit.

That's Tellerius laying down with his head inside skopio that's why his arms look like ears but they are not.

I can capture the pic if you can't see it but I have faith in you.

The skopios not really a beast it's a vehicle. IMHO
The text of the toy even describes it thus.

"the Skopio wanders the wasteland with its creator and pilot, Telluris"

So without Telluris it doesn't move is what this pretty much says.

Why Kiina refers to it like a living creature is probably just poor movie skripting.


5. Well all depends on what you see as the main group I guess. I see the legends being the main group not just the simple glatorians. But I guess they opted to mix em together. They're all glatorians just some have been doing it logner basically. In normal lego world they tend to go form normal to toa ie glatorian to legend. but it's not quite working out that way for this line.

That's what I thought.

It must Fero who in some way lives with the Skrall as well. Or perhaps Roxtus is a much larger place than I have in mind and they all come from that patch of land. Only bone hunters don't care about tribal squablling.

3. This (http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Skopio) page (http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Skopio_XV-1) suggests otherwise. ;) I think it's just the fact that it's based off the sets so much, they couldn't take him out fully...

5. But they're both Glatorian. Unlike the Toa comparison. ;) Legends is just the sub-name to differentiate it from the winter sets, probably as a movie Tie in.

*Other post* Bone Hunters are separate from the Skrall, and only teamed up because of the Traitor, whoever he is.

Also, please don't double post. ;)


Okay, I just saw what you mean, but I think that's supposed to be the Skopio's neck...

*At edit* *Points to first link* They ran into the actual creature that Telluris based the Skopio off of. They used parts of Telluris for Creature Skopio because it was easier than making a new design when that could've been what it was.

Can't read that page. But why would I trust a wiki from a site that doesn't appear to be owned by Lego to decide if it's an animal or a vehicle?

As I posted above the description from the set itself pretty much dictates it's a vehicle.

"the Skopio wanders the wasteland with its creator and pilot, Telluris"

Now sure lets say he could create a new living entity but then they are stating it needs a pilot. Not a rider, but a pilot.

You post faster. DP it happens };>)


*New Edit* It's possible the movie makers did that (stupid if they did) but it is possible. But you'll note that's not just bits and pieces that's all of Telluris in there feet to head to hands.

1. Because that Wiki's the most accurate Bionicle wiki out there? Besides, I'm sure if you don't believe that, there's a quote from Greg about it being a creature somewhere on BZP.

2. But, the set is the vehicle... This isn't.

3. But he based the vehicle off the creature... Not the other way around. ;)

1. And seeing as they only allow factual information confirmed either by Greg or official stuff released... Trust me, they quickly revert stuff that's not when people are on.

2. Yet Greg keeps referring to 'the creature in the movie'. Plus, I just found this quote...

Quote

1) Is Ackar good teacher material?
2) So, Skopio does not appear in the movie, but the creature that inspired it does?
3) So now, do the EL's tell the Glatorian to fight, or does someone else?


1) Depends on what you want to learn about
2) Yes
3) When are you referring to? Now or pre-Shattering?

Bottom is Greg's answers.

Hahah that's a horribly asked question... I can take it at face value that he means the creature not Telluris.
Yet still that's a baaaaaad question. It should have been  much more specific and direct.

Now I don' thave the comic with me but isn't Telluris drawn on the skopi in the comic as well?

I mean if that's the case Mr Gregs letting them completely ruin the plot continuity.


But now wait wait wait wait.

There's still comething wrong here.

If the Skopio is a beast in the movie.

Shouldn't it's tail be much more akin to say the vorox?
As well being a beast the skopio wouldn't have mehcanical sights in it's brain to target lock a target on to Mata Nui.
The skopio is a native scorpion. I also do not think the native scorpion is equipped with a thornax launcher. It'd have a scorpion like tail instead.

Perhaps the movie is supposed ot be the Beast but they messed that all up in a big bad way....

Oh well suspension of disbelief.

If it is the beast then Skopio XV-1 will show up with Telluris by his side.

1. I found other questions, including one mention where someone asked about it and he said it was the creature.

2. I don't remember, but the comic's meant to advertise the sets, so it probably would have it like that, but IIRC, it was Movie Skopio.

3. What does that mean?

4. The Great Beings altered the Skopio species to be BioMechanical, which that page I linked states. ;)

5. Telluris and Sahmad currently aren't slated to be in the story however, since they're apparently not key to the plot, but that doesn't rule out the Story Serials or so... =/

Also, a topic explaining the difference between Skopio and the Vehicle. (http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=309670)

/EDIT: Found second quote I was talking about.

1. Was the Skopio XV-1 based off a giant scorpion?

Oh well what can you do laziness abounds and continuity is what it is.

Oh wait I know hahaha sand scorpions are carrying around the bodies of dead sand tribe member son their backs form some strange reason.. yeah that's it. hahaha

Skopio and Telluris do look much better with telluris laying down inside him. MAkes way more sense than riding outside  unprotected.
Laying down he covers a good percentage of his body. I'll post a pick for you to see.

I think it's just artistic license actually. ;) Like the land on Aqua Magna.

Telluris is of the Plagued Tribe though, so Skopios would have to pick them up, but that may be a good theory. I'm betting on artistic license though.

'k, and I see how it would, plus you could easily see that scanner thing ;)

Basically just lay Telluris out flat.
Remove the blue half posts chalf cross pieces to put in his fists and stick them into that remaining hole by the mandibles on either side of Skopios head. (Not I may have added the blue cross posts for feet attachment don't recall but use two of those if I did)

You can leave the red cross bars in the original hand holding area or remove them as I did and stick under neath instead of on top, then I pushed his shoulder armor onto those red cross posts so his arms stay put and so does his body. Adjust shoudler and forarm joints as needed.

(You could add two full posts in skopios back to lock down Telluris legs as well.)

Remove the rubber hoses and the parts they go into and stick them in the back aromorplate holes near the rotating points.

And that's Skopio Ala Movie.

As close as we can get. Since they neglected to give us the lovely glowing red eyes some how. };>)
The extra blades  many have lying around I bet.

It is a good idea to lock the legs down if you'r egoing to play with him to because then it keeps his legs spread apart so the tail still comes up and his legs won't get in the way or be too close.

RoS 7 Up.

Everything's beginnig to fall into place now...

[spoiler] *spectulation* Hafu, Macku, Kapura, Tuyet and Tren Krom (in lewa's body), along with pouks and bomonga... shall seek out Vezon, who will presumably have agreat being with him.

They use Vezon's Olmak ir the Great Being to go to Bara magna and take MN back to the MU. Unfortunately, before they can leave, Baterra, now reprogrammed by the Sisters of the Skrall, attack. This Uber-Weird team  must find a way to stop them before thye can go back, and Mata Nui takes a bunch of Glatorian with him, namely Gresh, Kiina, Ackar, Gelu. They go back to the MU, and allying with the Toa Mahri, rest of the Hagah, and the Nuva, plus Lesovikk and Helryx and the ENTIRE Dark Hunters and the Matoran who have built vehicles for themselves. A war breaks out, and drives Teridax insane. Brutaka, Axonn and Keetongu come back to the Mind of teridax, who are then followed by Mazeka and White Makuta. Then, pretty much what looks like the entire of the MU, battle it out across the universe against Rahkshi and Exo-Toa, with the team of MN and TK going into the mind as well. White makuta faces Teridax, but fails and dies. mta Nui then reveals himself, and since the Glatorian are not from the MU, teridax's powers have no effect on them or mata Nui, since his body is made out of non-MU Sand. With a last threat, Teridax, threatens to destroy the Ignika and Vahi. But Brutaka asorbs the antidermis, which is too much for them both, ending both of their lives. Everything Teridax has done is then reverted, Mata nui takes control over the MU again, Miserix is back as well. MN sends the Glatorian back to BM, promising to visit regularily, and when he has finished his mission, come back in a body in the Ignika, and then seperate himself from the Ignika so he and the Ignika can share seperate bodies.

The MU celebrates, and Vultraz comes back, now purely light thanks to alternate GBs. He creates pure light Makuta to form a new BoM, and is appointed to watch over the Makuta incase of betrayal ever again.

Otherstuff after this:

The GBs come out and check up on their creation MN. Unbeknowst to anyone, one of them has betrayed the others and is working with a greater evil...[/spoiler]

The above could be the 2010-2011 story. It's just spectulation

I now love it after reconfigureing the controls. Epic battles are epic. Backflip thornax shot is my favourite move. Very powerful early on. I rely on it.... a lot. Besides, if you don't mknow, the lava in the middle of the Arena takes away health. I found that out the hard way, and it's what i use to win against Gelu in rookie. Force him on, then avoid his thornax and push him back on. Also, much better than GA1. I've already unlocked arena magna... just six different Glatorian you can face, not in leagues, but in a special battle. Gresh, I tried, has the difiicultry of a Stronius Copper, I assume.

I want to play gresh against Vastus... but I can't... =( Any codes for the old Glatorian?

BIONICLE Stars are amazing.

Tahu, gresh, takanuv and Skrall.

And they;re like chibis.

And since Tahu now has an Avtoran body, he is the same height as the original! Plus rod Hau! Plus Golden Hau! And the background... Remember the pic back in 2001 where there were steps and the Toa were standing on it with Tahu in the fornt? It;s very reminiscent. Looks like next year is BM+MU. They look like they're on bara Magna... I have a theory!

You know that Device takanuva wants Nuparu to fix? Well maybe, he fixes it leaves, tahu comes along in his adaptive armour, and Takanuva gets shadow leeched into a half-shadow toa again, and they use the device to transport into Bara Magna. And that is the beginning of the 010... The Skrall want Revenge...

Who said the vats were the only source of Shadow Leeches? Who said His adaptive amrour would look like his nuva armour on BM?

*Blinks* Haven't been there for a couple days... *Goes looks*

... *Gets infected by the general BZP-ness that usually happens when sees Gresh* Gresh, what did they do to you? D= Our heroes are reduced to mere Matoran level sets? The canisters had better be worth it... D=(... On the other hand, reduced price is good, but I don't like the feeling I'm getting that these'll be more 14 pieced sets. D=)

/EDIT: Okay, they're 21 piece sets, but still, for 8 dollars, possibly more here in Canada? D= 'least they use the Ackar blade for Tahu... *Has a funny feeling for some reason they're either bringing back the Mata Heads for the Mata, or they're making a whole new mold for Tahu, which I somehow don't see happening* ... This does explain Gresh's height, or lack thereof in TLR.

Post by: Trijhak on September 20, 2009, 01:30:38 pm
14 Pieces? Look more closely. They have a range of 19-21 pieces... Armour for the AvToran body! new Hau! Tahu is Pure win. i still like gresh and takanuva. Skrall is Fail. Look at his torso.

And since the Gold hau also comes with tahu... WIN

It seems that the pieces to the' Golden BIONICLE' can also be used on the sets they come with... Also, I saw pictures of the other two, not leaked. One's a Yellow Rahkshi WITH A NEW RAHKSHI SPINE and Hunchbacked and the Guurahk Staff and a Blue Skakdi with Vezok's weapon.

So?

IMO, the best three in order?

tahu
Rahkshi
Gresh

Worst three? (in order)

Skrall
Skakdi
Takanuva


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on September 20, 2009, 01:39:42 pm
Still, less pieces than Defilak, yet for way more money. Tahu and Takanuva are starting to grow on me, but Gresh has got a one coloured version of his mask, and an overgrown(For his body) version of his sword. =/ And Skrall is just using the Kra-Matoran Torso, which does somewhat resemble the custom version, but in a less awesome way.

/EDIT: ... That is a plus rod mask! =O They're using the Glatorian head, so it has to be. ... I just love how they messed up Tahu's eye colour again, even though they could've easily used red like they did for Gresh. =P

//EDIT: Oh wait, they did that to Gresh too. Whoops. ::)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on September 20, 2009, 02:33:43 pm
The Golden BIONICLE is Tahu with Golden Armour and Mask... There's a poster in the BZP topic proving it. And if Smalls ets are the scale enxt year of regularily sized sets the past years... imagine the size of the Titans and Canisters story wise... 0_0

Are these sets actually canon? I hope not, and I hope that Matoran/Agori in the future are more like these sets(well, having armour and such).

Tahu looks pretty good.

Hey Blade, and anyone else who cares, what makes Bionicle more appealling to you than City, and Construction and etc, what about Star Wars, is it sci fi or something else?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on September 20, 2009, 04:06:31 pm
I dunno, for me it's probably the storyline and the fact that they wield elements(... Er, mostly.), as I don't get the sets as often(I'm pretty sure that's about to change though.)...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

BIONICLE Stars:

I can't believe how people are actually complaining about on how these might be canon when we don't even know 010's story.  ::)

Tahu looks Like Tahu.

Takanuva looks Takanuva.

These are 10X better than the newva versions, at least.

They actuall look like what they're meant to look like.

*needs someone to post in GA topic unless someone else posted lats*

So, the Golden BIONICLE is tahu with golden armour and mask. The Hau updated, is sweet. IMO, the rahkshi and tahu are the best out of the BIONICLE Stars. The Rahkshi of heat Vision... *** yellow rakshi parts... =D

Vezok is uberfail though.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on September 21, 2009, 11:58:00 am
yeah, i saw em. if i get any, this is how I'll use em:

Tahu:                    Alternate Turaga Tahu Mata
Taka:                    Turaga Takanuva from The Kingdom
Gresh:                   Jungle Agori
Skrall:                    Rock Agori

the Heat vision Rashiki and vezok are a bit harder though...




Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on September 21, 2009, 12:01:32 pm
Makuta needs smaller rahkshi hat can disguise themselves into Av-Matoran and uses them for shadow-leeching Av-matoran in an alternate universe, or in an alternate universe rahkshi are created smaller?

Vezok is hard, though....

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on September 21, 2009, 12:05:43 pm
Most likely not from the look at the shell. Even though, it;s an awesome piece anyway IMO.

For me, who missed out an the original tahu/Nuva, this new Tahu would fit in well with my lone Gali mata that just sits there. They just mess up on Skrall and Vezok, IMO.

*hopes very much that one comic will see mini-skrall and a normal skrall side by side, the same size in a comic*

i wish i had some older sets.... i would buy them off BZP if i could, but my mom doesn't... approve


oldest kanohi i have: light blue Pakari

oldest set i have: Sidorak (or is toa Iruni older? )

another Idea! maybe the new mini-skrall is Branar?!?

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on September 21, 2009, 03:03:38 pm
Trying to decide which to get first.....

I have no Mata red, but Tahu has a lot of orange, and the sword, and the SWEET gold hau.... Taka has swords I already have, but the rest is WIN....... same with lil' rashiki... Gresh's swords are EPIC, and the helm is great too, but I already have the limbs... Skrall has some great pieces, but he's probably the only one I can rule out.... and ya can't really see vezok....


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Midnght on September 21, 2009, 03:45:29 pm
This stars set has got to be fairly big I would hope and not just here's a few bits and pieces out of a 5 bionicle set.

If we look at what's shown already we have.

We see a main mask (as sene on tahu)
3 identical pieces. Likely one for each arm armor and one for the chest armor (as seen on tahu)
The gold (not sure what it is) looks like sword hilt as seen on skrall but used on tahu.
The gold piece which was a hand part from set I don't recall I know you all do as shown with the rashiki. Where it will go is not shown yet. but I wager to be utilized as a shield.

So based on those pieces.

Missing parts..
head for mask to attach to
arm x 2
hands x 2
body x 1
leg x 2
and weapon x 1
feet x 2

This would leave the set open for 10 more bionicles, plus one for the head piece (likely no head piece I'd wager).

This would be pretty cool a set of 15 stars and the instructions on what head to use and additional parts from your sets to build the golden bionicle.

But this just what I see it's probably nothing as grand but we could hope.
More than likey based on this picture (not sure where it came from other than bzp).

Those 5 pieces they show are all the parts you need to make Tahu.

Gold arm armor
additional chest amror
weapon bottom guard
gold mask and
right hand shield.

(http://www.majhost.com/gallery/sasha634/2010/bionicle_stars.jpg)

Kind of disappointing IMHO for a golden bionicle.

Post by: Ddude The Insane on September 22, 2009, 11:06:16 am
Whoa...Stars are EPIC. Although the name "Stars" doesn't appeal to me much...

EPIC WIN:
Tahu (old-school Kanohi Hau, which I've wanted for years ^_^)
Takanuva (but I got the big one from '08...)
Rahkshi (Maybe. Haven't seen many pics yet)

UNDECIDED:
Piraka dude (hard to decide)

EPIC FAIL:
Gresh (probably worse than his Glatorian set)
Skrall (DEFINATELY worse than his Glatorian Set)

Wait, where's Kiina? Didn't she go to MN?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on September 22, 2009, 11:29:17 am
Tahu's a very good deal. Right there you get both Red and Gold Kanohi Hau. Like his original form had a Gold Hau that could be only gotten through a mask pack and a two-toned flame sword and his original colour scheme.. Nuva versions are defenitely not as exciting as his mata Versions.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on September 22, 2009, 11:33:56 am
Yeah...I thought the originals were the best Bios, even though I never owned one. I started with the Bohrok and Toa Nuva. I think this version of Tahu is the most EPIC of them all. Do I see new feet on him?

I'm just glad he looks better than the Mistika Tahu...and that they brought back the Nuva Shoulder Armor Piece. (part of his sword)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on September 22, 2009, 11:36:13 am
yeah.... to me, I'm looking at epicness, yes, but also at MOCing potential, because i do that a lot too. still can't even rule one out.....

P.S. i actually like mini-gresh a lot. not as much as big gresh, but the mask and blades in themselves are worth getting it.

and yes, there's a new foot piece.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on September 22, 2009, 12:01:33 pm
And they're a combo of the Inika and Mata Feet. And yes, those silver gresh blades= win. They look incredible in silver.

I know I know the imaging looks like hell. But I can only work with what I have to work with at the time I modded this (IE no photoshop).

Point being with two skrall sets and any set with the arm/body armor.

Takanuva is going to be epic with the gold parts I know you can picture it.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on September 23, 2009, 02:40:32 pm
The one I'm definitely getting first, if any at all, will definitely be Tahu. The Mata's what got me into the series, and I haven't yet missed one of the sets that had them(I don't count Takanuva as a Mata of course, or I'd be missing the original. =P) Next would probably be Takanuva, just for the mask, as I missed that and the Titan's version is oversized. D= I wish they had've also had Takanuva's old mask(Maybe Voya gold to fit with everything else)... Ah well, it's probably not because Taka's supposed to be the 'white' set of this line. >_> Gresh I'm not certain of, and the Rahkshi'd be cool because I never got any of the Rahkshi.

And that hand part is either Gahlok-Kal's or Kohrak's. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on September 23, 2009, 02:48:29 pm
I'd prefer a Kohrak Shield. Because they haven't been in a set for five years.

And I mighht not use those Gold parts for Tahu, but I might use them for MOCing.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Medicore at best, this chapter was. Just the usual "imma angry elemental lord imma gonna kill ya" stuff.

And as for the rumor that bionicle is ending in 010... please don't end, if they do LEGO will lose a lot of money. I mean, it's their bestest non-liscensed theme, so why end it?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on September 26, 2009, 11:03:52 am
*Sighs* It's not gonna end exactly for the reasons you mentioned. There's a rumour about Bionicle ending most every year. People probably thought it was ending in '03 with Mata Nui 'waking up'(Bad choice of words Taka/Vakama), or last year before the ending was revealed, or in '07 with Mata Nui dying... You get the picture. ;)

Got TLR in the Mail-two days before official release. I did pre-order it, so whatever. UNlike the USA< the character gallery has Vastus and Gresh included in it as well.

(Tesara FTW)

Spoilers allowed?

[spoiler]

Metus is the traitor! I was right! Proof!  Proof of what I;ve been saying for two months! Woohoo! *does Kiina's happydance*
Tuma is not very good, and isn't really the main villain, and Metus is. And besides, Greg, the Giant Purple Malum made of Scarabax, the excuse for it (the Skrall thought it was a Baterra) is absolueltely TERRIBLE, the excuse is. That is in no way a Baterra.

However I wanted to see vastus fighting the Skrall...

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 02, 2009, 03:01:10 pm
Spoilers allowed now. And the Skrall don't know what a Baterra looks like, and they're shapeshifters, so...

'Giant Purple Malum' is possibly the weirdest thing to ever exist. I also dn't see how Kiina's voice was annoying, it sounds quite normal.

"It's true, Tarix. hey destroyed our village."

Tarix: *hose drops off*


"No-one can beat THE MIGHTY TUMATM"

*Tuma begins to fall over and is unconscious*


"NO, you filthy Vorox!"

*Vorox tip Metus' Thornatus over*


BTW, did you notice Click's (weird) Happydance after the Skrall battle when he transformed back into 'SCARABAX MODE'? Also Ackar insulting him and he clicks about being insulted


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 02, 2009, 05:04:17 pm
Same here for both those... I don't mind it, but like 100,000 beetles forming a giant model of a set/outcast is just weird. 0_o And Kiina's voice was fine to me.(Her happy dance is awesome xD)

1. That was epic. xD

2. Gotta watch the movie again for that part. =P

3. And he did it in the type of voice that he expected the Vorox to listen to him, and showed that he had very little respect for them.

Missed that one. And which time? =P

You missed a great quote...

Metus: *Insert joke that Mata Nui doesn't get here* ... That's a joke.
*Later on*
Metus: *Reveals himself to be the traitor* ... That's not a joke.

I do love it when Metus calls the Skrall Idiots and they're completely unaware of it.




*Berix falls  on tp of a Rock Steed*

*Rock Steed growls*

*RS and Berix begin to jump around knocking several Bone Hunters*


Berix: Who do you think got the lights working?

Kiina: I was wondering about that....


Raanu: Kiina's just a Glatorian and the other's a worthless thief!


TAR! DUCK!: Wait, I don't appear in the movie.


Kiina even hugged Berix and Gresh....

Yeah, that was interesting. Metus kinda reminded me of Ripto from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage for some reason I think. =P

1. That was very interestingly funny. =P

2. *Has to watch the movie again* ... Deja vu? =P

3. And Berix's model is near him to boot. =P

Yep. =P

*remembers a few years ago back when there were simple games around like that* Ah, nostalgia.

So what did people think of the Muisc?

It was meh. The ones that grabbed my attention is the Tesara theme and Mata Nui's theme. (when he walks into Roxtus and when BIONICLE: THE LEGEND REBORN comes up)

I also now get why they called it 'roxtus'.

I'm also confused as to whetber Berix steals things or collects things.

Tarduk's model is also used very weirdly... and in the Tesara 'arena' overlook,, where Metus and Raanu are, I noticed that the Berix model there has Berix's hlmet for shoulderpads XP

1. That was nowhere near simple. =P

2. The music wasn't the best, though the ending credits songs were great(Ride is awesome, even if they removed the part near the end and just had the guitar part)

3. He collects things. Don't you listen to him? =P I think he only mentioned the thief thing to show how Kiina was wrong. ;)

4. Meh, 'least he appeared somewhere. Wasn't gonna get much more than a cameo, due to him not having a speaking role.

Apparently now after TLR, the Skrall are disbanded, with some following elite skrall, some following Stronius, some following Tuma, some following named Skrall. basically warrior Skrall following higher-class Skrall. I'm also assuming the Rock Agori are with them. And perhaps the BH as well.

We've seen the Skopio, Thornatus, Cendox and Kaxium designs in the comics/movie, but not the Bananabus, sahmad or Perdutis.

Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 03, 2009, 07:35:23 pm
I thought the movie was pretty good. The voice acting was a joke though. =P

I thought it was actually kind of funny. Metus' "jokes" were pretty lame, and it was funny when MN didn't laugh at them. And I found it amusing where Mata Nui talks to Click like he actually understands. "Shall we call it even and go our seperate ways?" xD

Oh, and during the part where they rode into Tesara and it did close-ups on all their faces, did the words "pimp my ride" come into your mind? XP


Because so many people had horrible voicing, I'll just list who had good voicing IMO:
Mata Nui (EPIC voice =D)
Kiina (I want that set. Kiina's been the breakout Glatorian IMO)
Ackar
Metus
Gresh (better than I expected)

Um, yeah. That's all I can think of. But of all the voices I hated, all of the Skrall, Tuma, Strakk and Raanu have to be at the top of the list.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 03, 2009, 07:45:18 pm
How did Strakk's voice not fit him? He;s this cheating, money-wanted, ugly freak that tried to kill Ackar, tried to steal some exsidian from Vulcanus, burned down a Vulcanus Inn, and tried to give Agori help but only if he had ahalf their goods.

Most of those are from RoV BTW. It fit him. Skrall were talking Bone Hunter, and Raanu we don;t really know much about.

I know, but his voice...it just sounded to Russian. I couldn't even tell what he was saying half the time. In the clips on Bionicle.com, I'm pretty sure they had someone different voice him, and I liked the way he sounded in that clip.

I got Kiina at Target for ten bucks. May sound like a lot, but used to be $13. I'm just irritated they only cut the price of Agori by one dollar...6 dollars is still too much.

Nice weapon, mask, armor-the only flaw is that the armor prevents you from laying her down without trouble.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 10, 2009, 02:10:32 pm
Why would you want to lay her down? O_o

Also:

1. Mata Nui
2. Gresh
3. Kiina
4. Skrall
5. Stronius
6. Vorox
7. Ackar
8. Vastus
9. Malum
10. Gelu
11. Strakk
12. Tarix

That's my ratings of the Glatorian... now agori...

1. Tarduk
2. Berix
3. Metus
4. Zesk
5. Raanu
6. Atakus. Period.


Worst sets of each year IMO:

2001: N/A since I wasn't a fan (for all N/As)
2002: N/A
2003: Takanuva (confusing bike, recolored Gali Nuva clone)
2004: Vahki. Rehashes of the Rahkshi! (that would make a good comic name :P )
2005: Hordika, but the Visorak's excellency corrected this
2006: Umbra (you know what I mean)
2007: Hewkii Mahri. Just look at his  no-flow, bad colours and random spikes.
2008: Vultraz
2009: Can't really say, this year's sets are excellent
2010: Takanuva. No Gold and two irrevelant weapons, period yet his 08 set was so great. Guess that balances it.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

My list of this year's sets:

1.Stronius
2.Kiina
3.Ackar
4.Mata Nui
5.Vorox
6.Tarix (he's not that bad if you remove the pipes IMO)
7.Skrall
8.Gresh
9.Strakk
10.Malum
11.Gelu
12.Vastus (OK, he's the only one I don't know much about. That impacted his rating.)

The primary things I disagreed about in your list:
Gresh is waaaay to high. I have him, and he's laackluster.
Mata Nui shouldn't be number one just for being Mata Nui.
Skrall was too high on the list. My primary concern was that he ranked above Stronius.

I really do not agree with 2003 worst set. I thought Takanuva was decent...
2004 - I have a Vahki, and he wasn't that bad... I really do not think there's any awful set...
2005 - The Hordika were lackluster. The Visorak had a decent color scheme IMO. 
2006 - The Piraka had really weird arms and joined spine/neck, but that's it.
2007 - Agreed. I have Hewkii Mahri, and he was horrible. Awful color scheme, weird arms (no hands O_o), and overused torso. At least his pieces are great for MOCs...
2008 - Has got to be Tahu Mistika. Reused torso, and very few new pieces. Also Kopaka Phantoka.
2009 - No horrid things I guess, only I do not like how the randomly put silver on Malum's claws...
Or maybe Toa Mata Nui.

Your opinions, not mine. Stronius is an inika build with few new pieces. Skrall is an innovatative use of the Inika Build with more new pieces and a good use of the new armour.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on October 14, 2009, 05:42:12 pm
Just got my hands on Gelu and Vastus. The masks on those sets are excellent. I may try to get Mata Nui and/or Stronius, and possibly Ackar. Kiina being 43 pieces for 14.99$ CAD is too much for me, and I'm not in love with the set itself.

As for my rankings of the Glatorian:
1. Gelu (Good Colour scheme. Ice parts are great, and mask is the best I've seen in years)
2. Vastus (Snake theme puts him up high on the list. Lime and Dark Green go well together. Hordika legs=bad)
3. Strakk (Hunchback=great(customish torso and menacing feel added), good CS, axe and mask go well together)
4. Vorox (Tan. Unique design)
5. Stronius (Flows nicely altogether. Club is inventive)
6. Tarix (Gold. Blue. Mata Blue. )
7. Skrall (Torso deisgn, amount of weapons and new pieces is high)
8. Mata Nui (4 of those cool "shield" pieces. Colour scheme and leg to arm ratio brings him down a bit)
9. Gresh (Looks cool, but quite gappy. Legs are too thin compared to the size of his weapons)
10. Ackar (Excellent colour scheme. Reused mask and low new piece count pull him down hard. The odd coloured hands(which seem to be a trend in red sets) are also not very nice.
11. Malum (Nothing much to say. He just looks fat and somewhat unapealing)
12. Kiina (43 pieces. arm and leg design are identical. 43 pieces)


I only own Gresh, Tarix, Skrall, Strakk, Gelu and Vastus, so those are the only ones I can truly rate. I must say that all 12 canister sets this year are excellent though, and Kiina being #12 does not make her a bad set. She is the worst of the best, and may even bump up past Malum...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 14, 2009, 06:01:20 pm
Kiina is great. Granted, she doesn't have a ton of pieces, but she's a nice break from the Inika Clone design. And Gelu is OK, but his blade is kinda dumb, because it can't really do anything. If the Blade wasn't so flimsy, it would be a Top 3 Canister set this year, IMO.

I got Berix, my only Agori this year. Good set all around. Reused design but he wears it well. Nice weapons, the tube is a bit annoying but able to be overlooked.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 14, 2009, 07:30:04 pm
Yeah. Coincidentally, I got all of the TLR team except Mata Nui. Go figure :P

I want to see a Mara Magna Robot set and a Mata Nui Robot set. I would also like Movie 5 to feature a giant Bionicle Robot fight =D =D =D

I was daydreaming, and I thought of how Berix could come up with improvements for the BM Robot. Like, he could make these tanks that can attack and detach from the back of the Robot's hands. And several Agori/Glatorian could fit in and pilot the thing, and it would fire Thornax. It would even be cool if there was a BM Robot set and there were several vehicles that were seperate that could soup up the Robot.

Just me dreaming, but still...

Tarduk and Metus are still the best IMO.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 15, 2009, 07:11:09 pm
Meh. Tarduk doesn't appeal to me much, he's an innovative use of the Avtoran/Agori build, but no weapons and all of his limbs being (at least, I think) identical kinda makes him fall on my list. Metus looks pretty cool though. Uses the Village's shield, not something you see much other than in the movie. I was impressed by Ackar's collection of shields =D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 16, 2009, 09:59:16 am
Tarduk doesn't have Identical Limbs, Berix is favourite agori story wise, Tarduk set wise. And His weapons Are his claws.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on October 17, 2009, 09:39:37 pm
Which set(s) should I get next:

-Mata Nui
-Ackar
-Stronius
-Cendox

I want to get Stronius, but I have no red set this year (unless you count Skopio) and no yellow/tan set this year(again, unless you count Telluris). Cendox would be a nice addition, and give me an agori to add to my collection.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 18, 2009, 05:26:22 am
Tough one, because they're all good sets.

It depends:

If you want another vehicle, go for Cendox. if you want a Canister, go for Stronius.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 18, 2009, 08:20:48 am
I'd have to agree with KZ. Stronius may not be the greatest set, but he has a good color scheme and AWESOME club.

You know, I haven't gotten any vehicles...ever. Unless you count Toa Ignika.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 18, 2009, 11:46:21 am
Ignika counts.

The Stars apparently are the only BIONICLE January sets and that Ben 10 (GRRHATEHATEHATEGRRR) is replacing BIONCLE's canisters.

Which is weird since the starts have 19-21 pieces and cost less, but they have 18-20 piecves and cost more.


You can easily see which one is more worth it. BIONICLE.

Check BZP.

-Teridax is coming to bara Magna (in other words, instead of going BACK to the MU, the MU's coming TO bara Magna (and how we get the stars)
-Tahu has adpative armour, remember?
-Takanuva can change his colours at will, he's a light toa
-Gresh probably got a new helmet and weapons
-The Skakdi is no Vezok
-Heat Vision Rahkshi are yellow
-Skrall is unexplained.

True here too, but I'm not quite sure why they couldn't have had an optional Gold mask too >_> That'll be the only colour I haven't gotten of his mask, aside from those other optional masks from the initial release.
True...
Figured...
I already knew that from SPIRIT's PSA. =P
Well, they're roaming, so...

The only question is what'll the general story be about, an all out fight like 2008 with 3 each, or what? =/


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 18, 2009, 12:29:49 pm
I'm guessing:

Skrall, rahkshi and Skakdi: Bad

tahu, Takanuva and Gresh: Good

It's returned to the 3 v 3 theme of 2008 and not kept with the 5 v 1 theme of 2009.

Unless the Skrall and Skakdi are escaping fro Teridax.

But one problem; BM and MU characters speak different languages. Gresh and Skrall speak Agori, the others soeak Matoran.

I;m guessing that mata Nui and Teridax will be stars i the SUmmer. Most likely accompanied by a Barraki, another Nuva, Roodaka and a Mahri.

I am not liking the new storyline idea at all. BM is supposed to be a new start for Bio Fans, and yet we introduce 1 years worth new sets, then just bring back old sets in smaller form? Rediculous. Bionicle being put away instead of Ben10? What even is a Ben10?

The only good thing about this is:
return of Teridax(ubervillain is cool)
return of Tahu and Taka(they're kinda cool)
new armour pieces for agori/matoran bodies.

Why are the sets gonna be such small sets now?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

If I'm reading this correctly, lego is cancelling Bionicle and replacing with Ben 10?

O____________________________ ______O

FFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIILLLLLL LLL
This is just WRONG. Bionicle is probably Lego's most successful theme in the past 20 years, and they're replacing it with a very bad TV show for kids 8-12 with short attention spans.

I'm checking BZP but it's not loading >_<

Edited that word out. And that word was from e temp Mod. Do not swear.

I just goit MN's guide to bara magna, that's where the fact that mata Nui goes into the Prototype Robot on BM comes from.

I am not liking the new storyline idea at all. BM is supposed to be a new start for Bio Fans, and yet we introduce 1 years worth new sets, then just bring back old sets in smaller form? Rediculous. Bionicle being put away instead of Ben10? What even is a Ben10?

The only good thing about this is:
return of Teridax(ubervillain is cool)
return of Tahu and Taka(they're kinda cool)
new armour pieces for agori/matoran bodies.

Why are the sets gonna be such small sets now?

If we had returned to the MU Story even later, than newer fans would be even more confused after like 5 years of not seeing them. It's best to warap up the MN saga before they start a new one.

There's a LOT of new info in MN's gide to BM, such as Gelu's current whereabouts unknown, after a battle with Stronius in the raid on roxtus (at the end of TLR), he wants to fight him again to finish his fight.

Sorry about the word. He uses it frequently, so I figured it was fine...

*sigh of relief it at least hasn't been cancelled yet*
I just hope the Ben 10 sets fail and don't end Bionicle...

Post by: Blade on October 19, 2009, 01:14:32 pm
The sets failing is inevitable with all the bad things they've got going for them... Mostly the fact that they're little more than oversized Agori/Av-Toran with a bigger price tag. >_> And what I mean by that is they're only like 17 or so pieces from what I've seen/heard.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

ben 10 sets are $20ish canister-sized sets.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 19, 2009, 02:13:45 pm
We know. And they only have 18-20  pieces. And the stars have 19-21 parts and are 8$, BIONICLE's price is nothing compared to B10.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on October 19, 2009, 06:50:02 pm
I am not sure why Lego is doing this... The vehicle sets may not have sold very well between 2008-09, but they can nix those and continue with canister size sets, which are the bulk of Bionicle Revenue.
Ben10?!? Bring back Exo-Force. That looked like a good line of sets that combined Bionicle and classic Lego.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 19, 2009, 07:06:36 pm
Exo-Force didn't sell well.

I would much rather they made the vehicles go bye-bye, except for one or two each year and have two titans in the summer.
And as for the other 2 or three titans/vehicles that would normally be there, why not replace them with special edition canisters, with exclusive pieces and a combiner to go with them?





Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 19, 2009, 07:08:50 pm
I'd prefer they keep the vehicles.

But um, where are those stories about Teridex coming to BM and all that? And the story about Bio being cancelled? Could someone provide a link to that on BZP.

THEY'RE NOT ANNIVRSARY SETS.

YouTube is ten times as unreliable than Wikipedia.

Anniversary would come in 2011.

BIONICLE Started in 2001. 2001 +10=2011.

Yes, although BIONICLE started in 2001, they were first available (officially) in December 2000, in UK stores. I doubt those are the main sets anyway.

@TBD: That's what I thought...

anywho, using money from my B-Day I aquired Cendox, Ackar and Stronius.
Ackar is a great set, and the flame sword is huge. The ankle pieces look really cool, but I don't like how much they wobble(although that allows for more foot movement).
Stronius is cool(if not a bit short). I adjusted his front armour so that it fit better(which is what a lot of people recommend. He's not as Skrall-ish as I would have liked, but he comes with many useful pieces(the mask, 2 part club, 3 new armour pieces).
Cendox is not as good as I expected him to be, although maybe I was expecting too high. He's still one of my fav sets this year, and the set has some nice pieces, including the reversable mask, yellow Kiina fin and other yellow pieces. The turning is cool, and while I don't like how loose the whole front end is I understand why they made it that way.

4.Skrall

IIRC, it ranked up there just below either Star Wars or Bionicle... I think it may have been 2007 that killed it.

Anniversaries do not work that way. That way, 2002 would be the second anniversary of BIONICLE, which it clearly isn't. It's the first, making 2011 the tenth.

Honestly, I expected you to know how an anniversary works... no offense.

BIONICLE did not start in 2000 officially.






Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 22, 2009, 11:20:26 am
Let's look at this another way. Even if we were to count 2010 as the tenth year, it wouldn't have it's 10th year anniversary until like December 2010, which would mean it'd be 2011's sets that would be the anniversary sets. Don't count 2000 in your theories, as they're like how the Phantoka and Glatorian got released in December of 2007 and 2008 respectively... Does that mean they're 2007 and 2008 sets? ;)

And an anniversary is when there's been a certain amount of years elapsed. 2010 will be the ninth anniversary when it passes the date it was officially released. Not the tenth.

What was the [sshiny[/s] for? 0_o Secret thing I can't know about?

Though for onnce it seems the graphics got downgraded...

If Multiplayer is online... I'll probably be playing it.

I'm pretty good against tough opponents, though ral-life opponents are considerably more harder and entertaining than CPUs.

Now, I'm probably going to level-out Gresh's, Mata Nui's, Vorox's, Skrall's, Stronius' andVastus' stats. Vastus is especially quick and hard to dodge, he's one of the hardest golden opponents in GA2...but a real life player? Even harder.

And so more fun.

My guess is that lasty year's and this year's canisters have sold terribly so far.

That's what they get for re-using the inika and piraka design.
And to me, it doesn;t make sense that they'd releases a Stars gresh and Skrall... only a year after they've been released the first time.

I can see how Tahu, Rahkshi, Piraka and Takanuva fit in.. but Gresh and Skrall don;t. They haven't even been out for a year... but Skrall does sell the best out of the Glatorian. Fact from a LEGO worker at a LEGO store, and Gresh is not far behind.

But 2008 and 2009 have so far vbeen the worst-selling years it seems...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 23, 2009, 08:00:16 am
Which is strange, because there have been some excellent sets the past few years, like Lewa Phantoka or Kiina or Stronius or Chirox. The Phantoka were all really good, but the Mistika were pretty lame. And the Glatorian were all excellent Inika clones (except maybe Skrall and Kiina) IMO.

And Strakk. And Pohatu. And Kongu. And the Barraki (who were excellent in general).


Mstika Makuta were okay IMO. Gali and Tahu were the oens that ruined it. Onua was fine IMO (he;s actually my favourite Toa next to Lewa Phantoka)


It's the Piraka body that fails... just so weird to look at on a thing other than a Piraka.

Ehlek was the best IMO..

StarSkrall has a black kopaka blade...

Tahu Starta has a dual-coloured A car Ackar Blade

Takastara has nothing special...

GreshStar has Silver Gresh Blades and a Lime green helmet

Rahkstarhi has keetyellow pieces in general

Pirastarka has nothing special...

Though I disagree on Kopaka's mask, it was the worst of the Mata masks IMO.

Tell me one thing that looks Tahu or Gali on either. Oh wait... Tahu's mouth hole. Tell me one thing that looks Gali on Gali mistika.

Onua has the original Pakari Shape (stretched Hexagon) that's why i like him and he has his original colour scheme (well, bits of it)

That Pakari looks more like a Kraakhan to me =P And the Nuva didn't resemble the Mata that much, aside from the body shape, which was the General build then ;) Lewa got Air Katanas instead of his Axe. Gali got Water Axes instead of her hooks, and her Kaukau didn't really resemble the old one. Kopaka and Tahu were really one of the only ones who somewhat stayed the same, plus Pohatu if you count the feet accessories.

Tahu loses his Nuva plowers, Teridax comes to BM, probably lets a Rahkshi and a Skakdi out, Takanuva and Tahu come out, Skrall probably wants revenge and Gresh is too heroic not to help.

At least, that's what I now think.

...Not.

Since it states that mata NUi is now in the BM robot, this means that the Ignika has its own conciousness again!


Now I want to see how it fits into 2010 story... Maybe it'll create a new body for itself yet again? Or it keeps Mata Nui's old body... (in which case shall probably confuse the Glatorian like this comedy thing:

Ackar: Mata Nui!

Ignika: I'm toa ignika! That guy is Mata Nui! *points to giant BM robot standing up about to crush the remains of Roxtus*

Mata Nui: Wait, did I just step on the Mask of Life? O_O
Meanwhile in the MU
Great Beings and Takanuva at the same time: UH OH. I sense that the failsafe has been destroyed.
Makuta: So, that wimpy Mata Nui thinks he's so great huh? I'll show him! And now that the Ignika has been crushed...
Back in BM...
Mata Nui: Aaagh! Okay, okay, calm down. I can fix this. *picks up pieces of Ignika, and wipes Tuma off his foot*
Okay...I can fix this with some duct tape. *crushes the remaining pieces with duct tape* AAAGH! WHY CAN'T I STOP CRUSHING THINGS!?!
Makuta: *punches off the head of BM robot* There. You can stop crushing things now.
BM Robot: *falls over and crushes all the Glatorian and Agori*

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 24, 2009, 09:27:19 am
That's explained in MN's guide to BM.

He travels with tarduk, Kiina and Gresh to the center to find the power source of the robot. Then he ues the Ignika to transport his spirit and the source inside the robot. I believe it's also presumably the november comic.

Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 24, 2009, 09:40:51 am
I'm confused too, but right now I just feel like writing the sequel to my hit comedy.

Mata Nui: Now that I have this giant robot at my disposal, surely Makuta shall fall!
Makuta: *comes to BM* We'll see about that! *steps on Mata Nui, who is in toa form*
Arthaka: *shudders* I sensed a disturbence...
Click: clickclickclickclickclickclic kclickclick
Maukta: Will you shut UP!?
Click: *touches Mask of Life*
Makuta: Hey, what are you doing?? Get away from that!
Click: *transforms* I am Toa Click!! I have the elemental power of Earth! And I control beetles at my will! Surely you shall fall Makuta!
Makuta: Oh yes, your unstoppable army of beetles shall surely fell the Universe =P
Click: Go, my Scarabax bretheren! Get inside of him and end this madness!
Various Scarabax Beetles: Clickclickclickclickclickclic kclick (Translation: Yes, master Click.)
*Beetles crawl on Makuta Robot and inside of his head*
Makuta: My mind powers should handle this...*attempts to use mind powers to crush the Scarabax* Wha-what!? Graah! Your minds are too tiny to feel the effect of mind powers:
Scarabax Beetles: clickclickclickclickclickclic kclickclick (Translation: Woo! Party in Makuta's head!) *beetles start a conga line in Makuta's head*
Several years later
Makuta: Graaaaaaaaah. These ridiculous beetles and their clicking is driving me mad!
Beetles: *still have conga line going*
Makuta: I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE!!! *leaves Makuta Robot* HERE! You Toa can have your Universe back.
Arthaka: *sigh* ...I'll take over, I guess.

I may be getting Tuma soon, so expect a review of him coming. Also, I put up a Skrall Review yesterday.

Oooooooh, this story may get interesting.

=/ Well that was a short time with a 7 foot tall Mata Nui... What about Bota Magna? =/

Keep in mind there is a way to see it without leaving Bara Magna... move bara Magna to Bot Magna, and Aqua Magna to Bara Magna, and then undo the Shattering.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 25, 2009, 10:20:25 am
*Sighs* And here I was thinking they'd actually go to Bota Magna and explore it somewhat so that there could be some stuff revealed. Is it just me, or did this 'reboot' epically fail in being a refresher for new fans? Especially since all the old stuff comes back the very next year. >>


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 25, 2009, 10:25:16 am
If it came later, newer fans would be a LOT MORE confused. Since it would be more than one year after we left and they probably wouldn;t know who Tahu was. They need to wrap up the MU saga first.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 25, 2009, 10:28:58 am
And then what after that? Since, wasn't it Mata Nui's mission to return and rebuild Spherus Magna? So then, how would there be anything further if all three planet bits are reformed? =/


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 25, 2009, 11:41:59 am
They can figure out a way. Besides, after that they still have:

The female skrall
The Baterra
The Bota magna region

Post by: Trijhak on October 25, 2009, 04:48:36 pm
Wait, where was it ever it was stated it was a reboot? It was stated as 'going to a fresh new world'.
Greg never stated it was.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 25, 2009, 08:28:52 pm

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 26, 2009, 05:14:20 am
No. Greg said it wasn't a reboot. Ask him yoursdelf, I did at the end and it was a 'restart with old things implemented'.

That's what the fans said. Sometimes they will say greg said it to make people believe it, when they're entirely wrong.

As for that list, it is leaked, and I know it is from another forum which weas the origninal leaked source, so I'll have to remove it.

Graaaaaaaaah. Why isn't Fero and Skirmix available in the U.S.?!

Although it is on amazon...I may be giving a Fero and Skirmix review soon.

I'm just going out on a limb here, but I predict Jaller will be one of the Stars.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 27, 2009, 04:23:13 pm
Is it really that big of a deal? =P

I'm just surprised a Turaga who's trapped in the Coliseum becomes a Star. I mean, she wasn't that major. My favorite Metru was Nuju actually.

And I'd like to change my guess to say that Helryx and Tren Krom will be the two remaining sets. Maybe not Helryx, but Tren Krom for sure.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 27, 2009, 07:35:56 pm
Hey, a boy can dream. =P Although I wonder if the Stars will be all there is, or if there might be vehicles/Titans...? If so, Tren Krom and Helryx titans NAO. =P

Hm...since they're all past sets...anyone have a guess? I don't think there'll be any more Nuva or Toa Metru, might be some more Inika/Mahri sets, since there has been only  one Inika-gen set, and no Mahri...and I doubt any more Karda Nui or BM sets. Although Sisters of Skrall would be appreciated.

Post by: mtmerrick on October 27, 2009, 07:53:59 pm

I work alone.

Quote from: Kopaka speaking to Matoro
Your Turaga speaks in riddles.

I hate riddles.

Which reminds me, I was able to find the original Nuva comics at Barnes and Noble. It had the Mata and Bohrok series, 6 comics all put together. ^_^ It was nice to see what it was like in the ol' days. Although you never actually see Nuju using birdspeak. =P

Anyway...Anyone read my Fero and Skirmix review? Sadly, that may be the last Bionicle review you hear from me for the year...I think I have too many Bios. No, scratch that, I DO have to many Bios. Still, I might dig up a Glatorian I didn't review but have and write a review...

So...I wonder what Comic 5 will be like?

Post by: Trijhak on October 28, 2009, 04:43:45 pm
Set height=/=story height, guys. ;)

Instead of Axonn , I would greatly prefer a new Antidermis Brutaka Set. Instead of  having his tertiary colour as Black, it could be translucent green to represent the antidermis.

And besides, Brutaka is far more interesting than Axonn. Brutaka is all mysterious now.

And in RoS 8,. you have Tren krom, who used to be a great spikit, Brutaka is powered up by antidermis and Tuyet is a very experienced toa.

Against a experiened leader, axonn and a makuta who does not think. My best bet is that Brutaka, TK and Tuyet will win this battle. It's obvious, since Helryx's side wants to destroy the universe, which is not going to happen due to teridax coming to BM next year.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 29, 2009, 06:34:21 am
Those blogs aren't really updated.

Some tidbits from MN's guide to BM for you guys:

-Gresh, due to his helping of Agori. is one of the few Glatorian allowed to train in other villages.

-The cendox V1 was found half-buried in the sand, half broken

-The Kaxium is the fastest BM vehicle, but the least armored


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 29, 2009, 08:51:23 am
Hm. That Gresh one was interesting.

Is there anything 'bout the Skopio? That is one awesome vehicle/set.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 29, 2009, 08:59:17 am
More tidbits:

-Gresh can often be found training with Kiina

-Kiina has tried to make gresh more laid back, but most attempts have been unsuccessful. She feels that he is intimidated around famous veteran glatorian like Ackar, tarix and Vastus, so that he thinks he must act seriously like they do.

-The Skopio XV-1 is kept hidden inder the ground
-Berix believes the Skopio XV-1's only vulnerabe spot are the controls

-Before the core war, Telluris acceoted Agori who liked fixing machinery (and we know a certain one... Berix.) Berix was one of the first to try to make friends with Tekkuris, and still knows some of the techniques telluris taught him. later he became conivnced the Agori were triying to kill him and steal his designs

-Frim RoV: Kiina is closest to Ackar and Gresh

BTW, the ignika and the Shoulder armr parts of Mata Nui on the cover of the MNGTBM have this weird texture wihich is bumpy but really shiny. So does the BIONICLE logo.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 29, 2009, 09:04:43 am
Yeah. For some reason I think that if Bionicle could date, Kiina and Gresh would be the first. =P
More tidbits:
-Gresh can often be found training with Kiina

Fero and Skirmix...it's fun to have Berix, Gresh and Kiina fight with him. =P Anything about Fero and Skirmix in there?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 29, 2009, 09:12:03 am
Not really apart from his bio.

And Gresh and Kiina... now that's scary. The only Glatorian that really aren't that serious by the time of TLR are Kiina, Gelu (who has a very good sense of humor for an ice character) and Gresh-Kiina was successful at last. And surprisingly, they are all secondary glatorian, or used to be.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on October 29, 2009, 09:14:41 am
Yeah. I was dissapointed by Gelu's failure to appear in TLR. =(

What does MN's guide to BM say about him?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 29, 2009, 09:16:54 am
He participated in the battle of Roxtus and got into a fight with Stronius. Atfer the battle, Gelu started seeking Stronius out to finish what he had begun. Stronius is currently in the Black Spike mountains. Where Baterra are...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 30, 2009, 09:23:27 am
It just makes it more interesting. And BM characters can have emotions that the matoran can't, they're just not showing it in story.

Clearly he hasn't crushed all rebellions-Tahu, Takanuva and Nektann probably rebeealled against him (duh).

And that last page... Teridax, in BIONICLE 5: TERIDAX IS SUPERMAN =p

And that 010 teaser? I get the feeling that Tahu is squishing them.

MATA NUI: Look! A True Toa!

Oh, and were you guys discussing what could possibly be 2 unknown sets? Why? I'm sure we all have a feeling we know what they'd be if there actually are going to be more Stars... And I'll give you a hint, one appeared in the potential form in that comic =P

STARS I will be getting(of the six that have been publicly released in pics:
Tahu

yep that's it. The other's aren't really good, IMO. Not even Tahu is that good. I'm only getting him because of who he is, and the fact that my current Tahu Mata doesn't have the red Hau(I lost it...)

'Piraka (Nektann)' has a new spine and AFAIK, sand blue(!).

Since they're the same shape as his oldnewset blades, that means... they can turn into shield as well. We need more sets like that. oh, and the golden parts just give Tahu new armour. But the Tahu set does have both a MATA RED hau and GOLDEN HAU, epic win for him.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Funny how he has less pieces than the original Tahu mata, but has more posability.

But I do want more stars. A new exo toa to fit current toa (inika bodied) would be WIN. Unless somebdy can PM me instructions for a simple-to build exo-toa.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 31, 2009, 01:58:45 pm
That actually is pretty funny. xP

And we'll find out if there'll be any more stars in February more than likely.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 31, 2009, 02:13:29 pm
I hope there are. And I especially want a titan Exo-Toa that fits both Avtoran bodied and Inika bodied sets.

Plues, the canisters should be:

Mata Nui (well, duh, plus titan version)
Teridax (well, duh, plus titan version)
Tahnok (bohrok)
Toa Kongu (Inika)
Takadox (Barraki)
Gelu (Glatorian)

That sounds like a good series of sets.. plus titan baterra, EL of fire and female skrall.

Teridax needs to realize that apart from the rahkshi, visorak, exo toa and the rest of his minions, pretty much everyone is against him.

I still wonder how the skrall fit into the story. Revenge by teaming with teridax, maybe?>

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.

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?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on October 31, 2009, 04:22:11 pm
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.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 31, 2009, 05:11:25 pm
Nektann is not the elader of the Skakdi. Just the most well-known and feared Skakdi Warlord.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on October 31, 2009, 05:17:06 pm
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...

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


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on October 31, 2009, 07:40:17 pm
Quote
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."

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.

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.

You guys talking about the Metru Nui storyline or what? O_o

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...

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.

The weapon is amazing! The overall MOC looks really good, even if parts are only slightly modified from existing sets. The bulkiness of the MOC is good too, but proportionally the set looks a bit ackward(the head looks big and the body looks small).

picked up Mata Nui today(I don't like him as much as Ackar and Stronius, but he has useful pieces, and I wanted the MoLi in BM form).
It's a good set, but the legs are short and the size of the weapon makes posing him wierd.
But the 4 Shield(?) pieces are cool, the MoLi is good to have, and the shin pieces and new arm pieces are cool.

@ZLS-thanks for the info I'm thinking about getting MN, so where would you rank him on the sets of this year?

DT Bionicle Tier List V.3:
1.Stronius
2.Kiina
3.Skrall
4.Vorox (besides the blue pins,he is EPIC)
5.Strakk
6.Gresh
7.Mata Nui
8.Gelu
9.Malum
10.Ackar (He's pretty much entirely Inika Clone now that I think about it)
11.Tarix (After carefully examining him, I realized he's a basic Inika clone with some useless items)
12.Vastus (Ok, I've looked into him and the reviewer of him at BZP agree with me he stinks)

Yeah, I've made some changes. Ackar fell bigtime.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 07, 2009, 04:52:19 pm
If I were you I'd have Malum and Gelu switched. Gelu is pretty much Inika clone in the body and upper limbs. Malum looks less like an Inika than he does and has a better colour scheme rather than silver thrown into shades of blue and white.


Vastus also needs to go above Tarix, at least his front is completely covered instead of the back which nobody complains about and has awesome snake armour and an awesome scythe. He's a kind of 'you hate him in image but love in person' set IMO.

But... wait, that's my opinion ,not yours.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 09, 2009, 05:06:10 pm
It's not the modern pieces we like, it's the fact that this is the first set that's used a different torso design in years(No Inika Torso variant). But that's everyone's varying opinion. I do like A-car(=P) as well though.

/EDIT: Yeah, we've all seen them. But, while they're all 'matoran' sized, if you compare the Mata to the Av-Matoran and Agori, they're actually the same size, so Tahu at least makes sense. But, hopefully there'll be more sets, but I think there was a rumour going around that those Ben 10 sets are replacing the canisters for at least the winter wave, which is fail. >_>

//EDIT: Oh hey, my MOC was accepted. If you want to see Toa Blade V4, then you can now go to the Bionicle Gallery, and search for 'Neo_Blademan_Seed_Cross', and it's the first one.

Yeah, I've made some changes. Ackar fell bigtime.

Okay, my list after getting Ackar, Stronius, and MN:
1. Stronius (Pure Awesome)
2. Ackar (Colour scheme is amazing, flame sword is cool, and I don't have Berix, so I say Berix has a re-used mask)
3. Vastus (Still strong. I'm biased to green and snakes.)
4. Gelu (Inika Clone he may be, but an amazing mask and armour that flows with the weapon is cool)
5. Strakk (Non Inika Clone. Axe is cool and mask is epic evil)
6. Vorox (I don't have him, but he looks cool)
7. Mata Nui (Don't like the legs to arm size ratio, but the upper arms are amazing(new armour and new arm) and shin armour is win)
8. Skrall (Non Inika Clone. I've flipped his torso to allow the life counter to sit on his back)
9. Gresh (Bleh. He has a nice shield)
10. Tarix (Gold keeps this set alive. And Mata Blue hands and feet)
11. Malum (Don't have. Don't like to look at him though)
12. Kiina (43 pieces. Arms and legs are identical. Body is custom but ugly to look at.)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 09, 2009, 06:35:42 pm
*Siiiiigh*

I will explain why Ackar fell so much on my list:
*Lame variant of Inika Clone
*Blue Pin
*Blue Pin
*Blue Pin
*Blue Pin

Yeah. 'nuff said.

Now, will you people stop bashing Kiina? >_> She is in NO WAY an Inika Clone, which makes her better than most sets this year. Yes, there are few pieces, but she does it well.

Vastus...he has a staff in both hands, which makes it hard to move. And he has Hordika legs. Blech.

Gelu: His weapon is FAIL. I have nothing against his Inika Clone Build, but he's just...bad.

And Malum is low on my list because I own the Barraki whom his build is based on.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: uraw911 on November 09, 2009, 10:24:14 pm
I like ZLS's list better altho Vastus is not me. :P Ackar is really good if you replace the blue pins, :P it's not that hard. I like Gelu a lot, especially his mask and weap. Oh, and Kiina's not that good, but she's not that bad either.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 10, 2009, 08:01:03 am
Yes, but Gelu has a grand total of 3 new pieces. THREE.

And I have nothing against Tarix, it's just that he is abasic Inika Clone with some uneeded armor.

Ackar is good. I have him. I picked him over several others. But
A.Blue Pins
B.Inika Clone with a few random changes thrown in.

All of this years sets have small masks, which is good, because some sets in 2008 were getting really big masks.

TMN has a 2008 Ignika, which is decent sized, but many of the 2008 versions were slightly lopsided...

And about Tarix: The tube is unnessesary. The shoulder spikes are cool. And the armour covers enough, IMO, and would be lightweight, making it better suited for battle.

He is top heavy. His legs have no armour and his arms have armour and a giant shield. His legs are way too skiny.

Ackar, Strakk or Vastus has the best armour.
Ackar- Overall armour placement is good. He has mahri blades for shoulder armour which looks good.
Strakk- The icicle armour is really cool(even if it doesn't protect you from behind or the side, but storywise he'd only need it for front on attacks in the arena)
Vastus- Snake armour FTW. Leg and chest armour is bad though...

His legs have no armour
Objection, they're just a spiky type of armour. =P

Post by: Trijhak on November 11, 2009, 05:42:40 pm
He is not top heavy I can tell you that. Like Blade, I have him. How do you invision a fast but surprisingly sdtrong warrior? I invision normal but agile legs, strong arms and body and a heat and hands and feet.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 11, 2009, 05:44:20 pm
He's still top heavy. Especially when the shield is split, it looks really top heavy.

Without his weapon he isn't top heavy, but with it he is. And his legs are way too skiny. I do not like Rahkshi legs for that reason. Toa Lewa Newva had the same problem.

And I have Gresh too :P

MTM: Toa Mata Nui. The Canister one. =P

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 11, 2009, 06:16:16 pm
I meant the rest of his armour. And that's the only reason they were put on really. But if his legs were a little longer, and his arms were the Vahki ones, he's be fine. Like Ackar in terms of proportions in a sense. =P

Actually that's quite clever. So what do you guys go with your life counters? I took gresh's off, but I just turned tarix's over, so you didn't see the painter part, so he still has a “air tank”, though the purpose of having scuba gear on Bara Magna is what exactly? :P

It's time for....DT's Comedy, Episode Three: The Leigon Reborn. This comedy will help you all understand what an important role Click has in this year's storyline, and how everyone does without him:

Mata Nui: It is said that all ends are merely...beginnings. My beginning was much the same.
flashback
Blue Tanma inside Mata Nui Robot: Heeey, what does these buttons do...? Let's see, should I press the Eject Spirit Button or the or the Untimely Takeover Button?

Tahu: blah blah blah Freed from the chains Makuta would have put on them! blah blah blah...WHAT?!

Blue Tanma: Hmm,, let's try the untimely takeover button....*beep*

Makuta: YES! That idiot pressed the Takeover button and I am in controooool!

...blahblahblah I am in control now blahblahblah I expelled Mata Nui blahblahblah you cannot defeat me!
In the present
Mata Nui: *crashes on BM*
Click: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! Some idiot wrecked my car!
Mata Nui: *Forms a body*
Click: Hey bozo! Get over here!
Mata Nui: *staggers around the crater*
Click: WAIT DON'T STEP ON ME! NO! YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM MY LAWY-*squish*
Mata Nui: Oops. O_o
Vorox: *attacks Mata Nui* I'm gonna huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuug yooooooooooou!
Mata Nui: *jumps out of the way*
Vorox: *stinger tail breaks off* *runs away*
Metus: *drives up in Thornatus* State your beeswax.
Mata Nui: Just a traveller, looking for the nearest city.
Metus: Ok, come on!

*Metus and MN arrive in Vulcanas*

Metus: oooh, we arrived just in time.
Mata Nui: For what?
Metus: You'll see...^_^

*Strakk and Ackar are fighting*
Metus: Blahblahblahblahblahblahblahb lahblahblah
Mata Nui: blahblahblahblhablah...for sport?
Metus: blahblahblahblahblahblah...so lving. This is Raanu.
Raanu: blablahblahblahblahblahblahbl ah
Ackar: *knocks Strakk back* Concede, yield to me and this goes no further.
Strakk: *driving car* *yields to Ackar* Alright Ackar...you win.
Ackar: blahblahblahblah...with your shiled.
Strakk: *hurls axe at Ackar*
Mata Nui: You call this honor? He was clearly defeated!
Raanu: We're just Agori. We're not going to FIGHT a Glatorian.
Mata Nui: *jumps into the Arena*
Strakk: You're finished old-
Mata Nui: *knocks Strakk over*
Strakk: I'll cut you down for that outsider! *knocks stinger tail away*
Mata Nui: *raises hand with nonexistant shield* Wait, I don't any-
Strakk: *kills MN*
Director: I thought this was a KID'S movie?! Strakk, you're FIRED!
Strakk: *just finished killing Ackar* What? Oh, oops. O_O

Take Two

Squawk: You're finished old-
Kraata Nui: *knocks Squawk over*
Squawk: I'll cut you down for that outsider!
A car: NO, SQUAWK! YOUR FIGHT IS WITH ME!
Squawk: You're next old Man. But he asked for it, now he's going to get it.
Kraata Nui: *bumps sword against mask* *takes out Squawk*
Blahblahblah
Squawk: Blahblahblah
A car: Blahblahblah
Kraata Nui: Blah BLah Blah
Karen: I knew it! PROOF! Proof of what I blahblahblahblahblahblahblahb lahblahblah

*various events*

Karen: Oh no! It's Garth! And he's hurt!
Garth: Skull Hunters...and Skrubs...working together.

*various more events*

Kraata Nui: We can do this! Together!
*Kraata Nui, Karen, Garth and A car put their weapons together*
*nothing happens*
*they get creamed by the Skull Hunters and Skrubs*
*Agori get conquered by Skrubs*

Many Months Later...
Makiah: I have come to Bara Magna to take over!

It's 2010, but every series in Bionicle has been released early. I just think this is the earliest and most widespread example.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 15, 2009, 03:39:07 pm
Canada will probably get them late... Tahu is most WIN out of the Stars. Here's my order:

Tahu
Rahkshi
Piraka
Skrall
TN
Gresh

My opinion will change when I see them with more detail, but Tahu will stay as #1.

BTW, how is Skrall's head attached, because I see an open ball joint?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 15, 2009, 03:48:40 pm
To the top of the Av-matoran torso, it's a Krika-like head. ;) The actual head detail part attaches to the head joint thing, and the rest attaches to the back. The joint then goes on the torso itself. 'least, I'm almost positive that's how it works.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 15, 2009, 03:53:50 pm
It's the same why the Stars Rahkshi head is attached- a solek leg. Though the Rahkshi covers it much better than the Skrall does.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 15, 2009, 04:09:50 pm
... *looks up at question again* >< I thought sure I read Rahkshi...

And it uses a Solek leg? Why does it need to, when it already has a ball join available? To keep the hunched back?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 15, 2009, 04:24:44 pm
To raise the neck. So it isn't in the Middle of the shoulders. However, if there's another movie crated by Tinseltown... >.<


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 15, 2009, 05:36:47 pm
That's what I thought the connection was like. It looks wierd though.

I really hope they have canisters in the summer(or even winter, but I doubt it). And at leats one titan with a decent build(ie. Takanuva and not Tuma).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 16, 2009, 09:51:00 am
true that. :P

I have Icarax and Taka, and I'm expecting to get Tuma by the end of the year for Xmas. Icarax is just sort of stiff...you can't move him much. His weapon is lackluster, and his shield is pretty weak too. Tak is pretty good, I don't really mind the pins on him. His staff is epic win, and it's nice he has actual hands. :P

tuma...I'd say he's somewhere between the two, from what I've seen and read.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 17, 2009, 05:52:06 pm
Maxilos is one of my favourite titans, as is Gadunka. 2007 was an all around good year, and I would even compare it the awesomeness of 2001 and 2009.

Funny how so much could go wrong with colour schemes in between 2007 and 2009, both of which had great colour schemes.

The 2006 titans were excellent, and although I never got Umbra the rest were amazing. Vez and Fen I got in 2007, then combined to form Kardas, which is still built, even though I don't think he's even close to as good as the 3 titans seperate.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 17, 2009, 05:55:10 pm
Not EVERYONE from '07 was great. *stares at Hydraxxon* I have him. He is fail. Very fail.

Plus I'm not a huge fan of the Cordek blasters...

Does anyone here have/reccomend Thornatus V9 or Kaxium? I'm hoping for both of 'em for Xmas.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 18, 2009, 10:05:06 am
Note: Don't state your opinion as if it was a fact.

2008 had bad colour schemes... overuses of Grey, Silver and Black. Black, though, was a lot better than the silver or grey, though, as Black was only for the Makuta.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 18, 2009, 10:25:28 am
I thought te Makuta (Phantoka) were pretty good. But I'm one of those people who was dissapointed by the Mistika. Except Takanuva. He has the most epic weapon eva. Even more epic than Stronius.

Gunmetal, which is explained in story and Gunmetal would be way better as a secondary colour for the phantoka and mistika toa as we have not seen it a million times.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Vezon The Piraka on November 18, 2009, 11:09:33 am
The Phantoka were cool. Especially Antroz, I have him - although he sort of looks like a demon Hakann in a way, he manages to stand out.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 18, 2009, 11:36:07 am
Antroz was my favourite Phantoka too.

The bestest part is that his tridax pod goes with his colour scheme and he isn't an Inika clone IMO.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Vezon The Piraka on November 18, 2009, 12:01:10 pm
The Tridax Pods as launchers were terrible. They could barely fire, they just drop on the surface. Not to mention the shadow leeches are easy to lose.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

They're not meant to be used as launchers, though. The instructions clearly implied that.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I've read the Takanuva, Tahu, Rahkshi and Piraka reviews at BZP, so I will put therm in order of liekage:

Tahu
Nektann
Takanuva
Gresh
Skrall
Rahkshi


Takanuva is so much better than I first thought of him... need those white Nuva armour and limbs...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

A couple of questions to get activity up in here (unlikely)

1, Who is your favourite BIONICLE character?
2. Who is your favourite female BIONICLE character?
3. Who is your least favourite character?
4. Favourite set?
5. Least favourite set?
6. Favourite year?
7. Least favourite year?

1. Hard to decide... Lewa, Gresh
2. Kiina, without a doubt.
3. Atakus and Perdutis. Both are so useless to the plot that they should be special versions of Fero and Ackar/Malum.
4. Gresh, tied with Mata Nui and Kiina.
5. Tarix.
6. 2009.
7. Hordika part of 05... Visorak were better.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 19, 2009, 04:49:30 pm
1. Jaller
2. Nokama/Hahli
3. Teridax(post getting the name. He was awesome when he was mysterious)/Gresh. Somewhat bland.
4. Axalara/Skopio/Jaller Mahri
5. Any given Hordika
6. 2007
7. 2005

1.Lewa is pretty funny, but I don't like him all the time. Gresh is just too much of a hero type, and seems undevelopped and bland. I like Jaller because he was the first fire type to properly be a leader, and I feel that he had a lot of feelings and was empathetic.
2.I can't comment too much on 2009 characters, since all I have to go on are the few comics I've read online and a few story serials. I picked Nokama and Hahli over Kiina because i liked them in story and I feel that Kiina is a bit too impulsive, but again, I haven't paid too much attention to the 2009 storyline.
3. Atacus and Perditus are pretty useless. But they were so useless they didn't get any positive or negative, so I decided to put unmysterious Teridax and Gresh behind them.
4. Axalara is complicated in its build, Skopio looks pure awesome, and Jaller comes with a crab, and has a great torso with the crab armour. Mata Nui is okay, but doesn't compare(IMO) to sets like Ax and Skopio. Gresh is top heavy(with his weapons) and I don't have Kiina.
5. Tarix is better than the Hordika IMO.
6. 2009 started out well, but then it re-introduced elemental powers(in the weapons) and overall was just a way to introduce an entirely new planet. The first half was epic, the second half not so much.
7. Agreed. Visorak =win. Hordika =waste of money(although some decent MOCing possibility).

1.Vezon, Mutran or Strakk in the first half of the year. I liked him more when he was a sadistic pessimist, not a selfish jerk.
2.Kiina FTW.
3.Kongu
4. If I had Thornatus or Skopio (or any vehicle) I'd probably say one of them. Otherwise it's a toss-up between Makuta Antroz, Stronius, '08 Taka and the Bohrok Lehvak.
5. I've heard Hewkii Mahri sucks, but I don't have him, so I'd have to say Onua Mistika. Of course Gali Mistika was pretty bad too...
6.2009
7.2007. I dislike teh Mahri.

For those who want to know why I hate Kongu: DUDE! DON'T REVERSE THE CHUTES YOU IDIOT! DON'T MESS WITH THE TOA METRU!

Not to mention your awful Inika mask. And dude, you didn't get the power of flight. GET OVER IT.

Kongu had the best toa of air characterization IMO. And if he didn't complain? He'd be Lewa/Matau V2.

Another guy I dislike is Ackar. What's a smelly old fart doing in the '09 storyline? And really? PAST HIS PRIME? He looked pretty tough in TLR. CHECK HIM FOR PERFORMENCE ENCHANCERS NAO. :P

I really just felt he was too...average. And as a set he's kind of lame.

Say, was anyone else dissapointed by the lack of usage of Thornax Launchers in TLR? Only Skopio used one, and it looked more like he was using a cannon.

Your least favorite years are 2001-2003... but... that's [don't take this offensively] FAIL.

How can you hate the very classic years what with all the mystery, the Seventh Toa later on, movie and game hype, etc.?

And MoL was a decent movie...

He only thinks he's past his prime.

And Vastus and Tarix used Thornax Launchers. ;)

MoL was bad, IMO.

At the time it was somewhat good. It's just that other epic movies overshadow it now. =P

Stars. I'm craving for the stars after reading reviews... anyone found reviews for Gresh and Skrall, seeing as they haven't been reviewed yet AFAIK?

And if I get Takastara, I'll have him look up to his 08 version...

And if the stars are the only winter 010 BIONICLE sets, then at least it lets me get money for other themes.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 20, 2009, 10:26:51 am
I don't think so... We could just wait for Dudebot... =P

YES. DO IT. =D And Takastara's growing on my more and more... Tahu's still the first I'm getting though. =P

a) because i wasn't into it then. :P
and
b) story? what story? there was no story, not really. not one that made all to much sense unless you bury yourself in bs01 article. still some thing about the first 3 years that are unexplainable.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 20, 2009, 03:17:37 pm
1st three years had 4 books and a movie. (although the 4th book was a recap of what had happened already).
But really, 2001=2003 wasn't really to exiting. The plot was not fast paced really.

The sets were nice and colourful, with good action features too, but story was a bit lacking.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on November 20, 2009, 03:19:46 pm
for me, i don't like "action features". my only can set with them are my 2 toa iruni's and i had to cripple his free-wheeling arm. :-/



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 20, 2009, 03:34:35 pm
I just noticed that Sahmad could be considered a Star if he were alone. He has shoulder armour...

BTW, what about a BIONICLE MoCing contest?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on November 20, 2009, 03:36:48 pm
i'd enter that....


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 20, 2009, 03:45:34 pm
If we ever have BIONICLE MoCing contests and I host one, I'd make it 'Starting out easy....', which would mean making a stars version of an existing set with an Avtoran body.  Easy, but it'd have rules: Create new armour designs. No cheating.

Also, if there are summer sets for BIONICLE in 010, I want at least one to be female.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 20, 2009, 07:02:46 pm
....nokama. Nokama is the female character. =p

I'd MOC an Agent who works for Makuta. He'd be a traitor from the Order of Mata Nui. With an Avtoran body...not easy, but I could do it....


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 20, 2009, 07:12:45 pm
Not Nokama. She's stereotypical, old, and boring. Hahli or Kiina on the other hand...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 20, 2009, 07:15:59 pm
Uh, dude? Remember that list he leaked that you removed? Nokama was on it. :P

Well, since youre mod of this board, I guess you could start a BIonicle MOCing contest. Maybe if Blade approved it could be in the news, like the Apocofest. =D

Maybe we could MOC, then include a description and "stats" (Like on Bionicle.com) for the MOC?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Vezon The Piraka on November 21, 2009, 04:27:00 am
I lost interest in MOCing a long time ago, personally.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 21, 2009, 11:35:51 am
On another topic, does anybody know why they made stars of gresh and Skrall when they've been released a year before?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 21, 2009, 11:41:04 am
They sold a lot this year? Also, most of these(Barring Taka) were from the first wave of sets in their respective years. Going off that, probably most of the summer sets will be from their respective summer series.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 21, 2009, 11:43:51 am
What about the Rahkshi? =p


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 21, 2009, 11:46:17 am
Wasn't it first wave '03? =/ If not, it's in the same category as taka. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 21, 2009, 11:50:36 am
Rahkshi were 03 summer sets. ;)

BTW, what's everybody's opinion's on the stars?

List of favourite to least favourite:

1. Gresh
2. Tahu
3. Nektan
4. Takanuva
5. Rahkshi
6. Skrall

Barring Skrall and Rahk, they're all good IMO.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 22, 2009, 03:23:36 pm
I would join an MOC contestm although I have only 3 Agori Bodies, and I'm keeping 2 of them in set form for sure, so making a Stars MOCoff would not be the greatest for me.

And I'm only gonna get Tahu in 2010(well, of the 6 stars that have been officially released).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 22, 2009, 03:25:48 pm
The stars Gresh review on BZP makes him my favourite star by far... his colour scheme is so good, and personally, like a lot of other people, I think he's better than the original set.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 22, 2009, 03:30:50 pm
Even with that one-toned helmet? =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 22, 2009, 03:34:04 pm
Yes, it helps the colour scheme greatly. Plus he has EKSCLOOSIF ARMUHR!!1!!1 =p

it seems that the Species sets (Rahkshi and Skrall)  aren't as well designed as the single characters. (Tahu, Gresh, Takanuva, Nektann)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 22, 2009, 06:41:41 pm
The Gresh review does make him seem better. The good guys are the only other ones I would even consider getting, but Tahu is the only one I really plan on getting.

New list of fav order:
-Tahu
-Gresh(the original is better, although I like this armour and one toned mask)
-Taka
-Nektann
-Skrall
-HVR(heat vision rahkshi)

The stars that SHOULD have been released instead of Gresh and Skrall would be IMO:
-Black: Nuparu Inika/Mahri(can't decide. A combo would be cool)
-Green: Matau Metru

This way we'd have 2001-2, 2004, 2006-7, 2008 covered, having 2 2009 sets re-realeased only 1 year later...

BTW, Gresh Stars could be used as a bipedal Tesera Agori...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Already duly noted. (http://www.mlno.org/index.php/topic,5220.msg194195/topicseen.html#new) >=/ <-- Reaction of sets ending.
=| <-- Reaction of story still staying, because while it's a good thing, that means that if new characters are introduced, we may not know what they look like...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on November 24, 2009, 01:26:57 pm
Unless BZP has MOCing contests to draw or build them! ;D That would be quite cool, I would have entered the last one.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 24, 2009, 01:27:18 pm
At least greg can write in whoever who likes beginning Summer 010. I mean, imagine this epic team:

Lewa
Kopaka
Gelu
Lariska
Gresh
Kiina
Jaller



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on November 24, 2009, 01:28:27 pm
Awesome, I think Gresh or Lewa are my favourite out of that team. Who's Lariska?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 24, 2009, 01:31:31 pm
One of the most epic females in BIONICLE ever. She's a Dark hunter. Search her on BS01.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on November 24, 2009, 01:32:53 pm
Will do. ;) Did the Dark Hunters switch to the Toa side? I can't remember if they did or not.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 24, 2009, 01:35:22 pm
They're a shade of grey.

Not really either, but they oppose Teridax.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on November 24, 2009, 01:39:30 pm
I see. There's no picture of Lariska... ;D I have an idea... Assuming no-one on BZP has started a 'Make Lariska' MOC Contest...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 24, 2009, 01:41:42 pm
You need to get it BZp-approved and LEGO-approved first.

You can't just start a contest like that. Lariska is a character better left to to our imaginations.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Kritzelei on November 24, 2009, 01:43:31 pm
No, I mean just for fun on MLNO. :) I may upload my idea of what Lariska would look like.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 24, 2009, 01:49:20 pm
She's a female. An Inika or Piraka torso would not work well for her... If we could have BBC (Bionicle Buiilding Contests) I would have a lot of ideas.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 24, 2009, 01:50:44 pm
We will have Bionicle contests eventually. And a general upcoming one.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 27, 2009, 04:02:06 pm
When Brickshelf/Maj starts up again I'll uplaod a few MOCs I've been working on.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 27, 2009, 04:16:40 pm
Off Topic: Oh yes, the Maj/Shelf problem...

On Topic:

Anyone got all the Stars?

Also, all the Nuva make it outside Teridax onto BM, Gresh is now apparently a veteran and Skrall aparently now have shadow powers according to Canadian TRU descriptions.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on November 27, 2009, 05:57:33 pm
Well, at least having all 7 heroes return is a nice way to end things off set wise.

Gresh is a veteran? That's wierd, considering he's a young Glatorian now...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 27, 2009, 06:00:41 pm
Well, now that you think about, it doesn't make that much sense, considering 2010 picks up where 09 left off. (Valley of the Maze's middle. where the power soruce for the BM robot is.)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 27, 2009, 06:55:08 pm
Hmm...

Well...anyone here getting all of the Stars because.... well, y'know.  :'(

I'm glad the Nuva are going to make it, but I'd kind of prefer Onua and Gali get the axe. :P Gali is just kind of uneeded, and considering she "briefly dissapeared" in Tak's blog, I think there's going to be more that comes from that.

And Onua...he's just never been a good set or character. He's just been sort of backup. He never really developed in the Comics or Books, and besides that fight with Bitil and Gali saying she thinks the great spirit likes him most, he was just there to stand in the background. Oh, and also almost getting pwned by the Makuta in the Battle for the Codrex. :P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 27, 2009, 06:58:57 pm
'Pwned'? He didn't get pwned. He just pwned Gorast and Bitil.

I think I know what the role of the stars is represent-wise:

Tahu: 2001
Rahkshi: 2003
Takanuva: 2003/2008
Nektann: 2006
Gresh: 2009
Skrall: Unneeded 2009. replace him with Whenua/Tehutti/Mantax please to represent 04 or 05 or 07.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 27, 2009, 08:02:16 pm
Skrall: Replace him with Iruni. :P

Well, I finished my Toa Helyrx MOC, but diasasembled it to use the pieces for a Tuyet MOC. I think I did pretty well with pieces from Nokama, Hydraxxon, Gahlok-Kal, Vamprah and Mistika Onua. Although you can't tell it's a female. then again, you can't tell with Helryx either. :P

He's saved Lewa like three or so times, and saved Gali and such. =P Oh, and Tahu in Comic three... ;)

Post by: Dudebot5000 on November 30, 2009, 01:22:21 pm
So. I learned something today.

Greg recently canonized a new element: Psionics. In other words, mental stuff. http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Psionics
In the above article, it is stated that "All Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Psionics are female."

More proof that females are mind ninjas! =O


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on November 30, 2009, 01:25:19 pm
Huh. That's very interesting. ... Oh no... I just realized... What colour combination would go great with this? Purple. D=


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on November 30, 2009, 01:25:52 pm
=P

That is rather interesting...but it isn't going to be developed that much, I s'pose. Wait a minute...the end of Bionicle means no Sisters of Skrall sets! Dx


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 30, 2009, 01:32:25 pm
That brings the GRAND TOTAL of female exclusive elements up to... 3.

Not counting Av-Matoran.

More Female Elements=yes.

Male Elements:
Air
Fire
Stone
Earth
Ice
Iron
Sonics

Female Elements:
Water
Lightning
Psionics

Unclassified:

Gravity
Plant Life


Both:
Light



Plant Life should be female and Gravity should be male, IMO.

If I've missed any elements, tell me.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

KZ: Lightning being female only is a good thing? Poor Blade/Kaze... he's the only Male Toa of Lightning in existence... =P

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on November 30, 2009, 02:02:03 pm

More male elements=NO

There needs to be equal (or almost equal) ratio of male and female elements in the MU IMO. Level it out with BM.

Yay for iron tribe! =p

Also, IYO, which is the best Tahu, people?
IMO, it's:

Tahu Mata
Tahu Starta
Tahu Nuva
Tahu Nuva

Both nuva incarnations suck but the Mata versions own IMO. The original Nuva are just so ugly IMO, with all those weird lines on their masks... and if Tahu Starta's Hau is extra shiny, then that's a definite buy IMO.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 03, 2009, 03:25:34 pm
Tahu Starta. =P It's Tahu Mata with more articulation and a bigger Fire Sword. What's not to like?

You're missing out.

But, I don't get why people hate Tahu Mistika more than Tahu Nuva. Or at all. Sure, he could be a little less chubby, but the people complaining about that are the same people complaining that the Inika Torso Toa are too thin. >_>


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on December 03, 2009, 03:44:22 pm
things i don't like about tahu mistaka:

- tiny shield
- needs more upper leg armor
- how the heck are you supposed to fly with those rockets?!?!


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 03, 2009, 03:47:49 pm
Same here, MTM. I even like you're even using the word Mistaka (Mistake-a) to describe them.

What they should have been called, not Mistika.

Things I hate about Bitil:
OverHuge flappy Wings
Uneeded red viking spikes
Weird place to put Matoran connector
Giraffe neck

i've collected about 80% of bilti. if coastergamerx finds the rest, i might get allof him. :P

i'm currently missing the arm & leg armor, and the ghostblaster (not the ammo though)

and i thought that it WAS spelled mistaka....

*glances @ BS01*

hm.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 03, 2009, 03:55:04 pm
Like a lot of people, I think I'll get all the Stars since it's the end of BIONICLE.ight get two tahus to show the golden armour on one. But that would leave me with an extra golden hau... but then I could I have one to display is 010 form and one to display his 01-early 02 form.

Also 2009 characters will be appearing in the first 2010 comic =D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Apparently, they're $8.00 each...

Which means they'll be 7.00 GBP here... at least by the 26th I'll probably have 60 GBP. 

Also, if anyone here has Tahu Stars, can they do a review of him?

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on December 04, 2009, 12:26:54 am
most likely not, but possibly an art contest. they're 90% organic, after all. and wear robes/capes/cloaks.

and Toa of Lightning have been confirmed as blue and white. :-/ at least now we can MOC Nikila.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Strakk and Gelu are secretly toa of lightning. =p

And that means... OMMN HAHLI INIKA WAS A TOA OF LIGHTNING OMMN!! =p

Does anyone here have all the golden pieces for Tahu? I'd like to see how he looks.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 04, 2009, 12:53:17 pm

Seeing as i don't have any of the sets... =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 04, 2009, 12:57:42 pm
Apparently the Gold New Hau is extra shiny...

If I see any stars in the UK (unlikely) I'll probably get Tahu and Gresh. Followed by Nektann and Takanuva. Followed by Rahkshi and Skrall. If they even come here. I'll probably have enough money after the 25th anyway...

where do you store Tahu's normal parts after you've exchanged for his gold ones?

They don't go to antartica. Or some asian places and most likely not africa.

Also, what's your favourite piece?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on December 04, 2009, 02:11:38 pm
...favorite piece?

I'd probably say a black two-long pin.

Say...how about we do a Toa of Lightning MOC Contest here? 'course, I don't have access to a camera...except my dad's....and he guards that thing with his life. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 04, 2009, 02:13:19 pm
Okay, I'm ready. *Points to Blade* =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 04, 2009, 02:14:20 pm
I believe that would have to be handled by me and an admin.

And besides, if we ever have a contest, it's probably going to be a freestyle first, then something else, I do have my 'Star form' contest though that I hope to get off the ground someday...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 04, 2009, 03:22:28 pm
My favourite piece is:
by design- Piraka Leg
by usefulness: black 2 long pin/most other connectors


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Iconox on December 04, 2009, 04:40:41 pm
Got Tahu, Takanuva, and Rahkshi Stars yesterday, I'll upload pics later.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 04, 2009, 04:46:11 pm
My favourite piece would have to be Gresh's Blades.

And IMO this is the order of Stars:

1. Tahu
2. Gresh
3. Nektann
4. Takanuva
5. Rahkshi
6. Skrall


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 04, 2009, 04:52:24 pm
Gresh is growing on me... But I'm still swapping the Star's Gresh specific pieces out for the Glatorian ones. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on December 04, 2009, 06:26:19 pm
how would that work?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 04, 2009, 06:31:21 pm
What do you mean? I'm swapping the Gresh Specific pieces on the stars one for the Gresh Specific pieces on the Glatorian one. Meaning the helmet and swords. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on December 04, 2009, 06:33:58 pm
ah.

AH! that would be epic.

yo'll have to provide pics of the final product.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 04, 2009, 06:40:10 pm
I will if I ever actually get any of the Stars.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 04, 2009, 07:26:13 pm
Whoever has Tahu and Ackar must combine them to form the most epic canister Tahu Mata. Perfect colour scheme...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 04, 2009, 07:28:01 pm
Combine them how? Like make a can sized Tahu Mata?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 04, 2009, 07:36:32 pm
Mostly just replacing Ackar's head with Tahu's, but whatever else(like adding the Stars armour on somehow).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on December 04, 2009, 07:45:52 pm
=O that would ROCK!

oh, and swap the sword blade ffrom ackar's orange to tahu's swirled. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 04, 2009, 07:47:16 pm
That too. There are many possibilities. Too bad Stars Skrall doesn't come with a lime shield for Tuma. And none of the Stars comes with new weapons...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on December 04, 2009, 07:54:49 pm
*wants to see stars taka and taka mistaka combiner*

and a nekkatan spine on vezok! >:D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 04, 2009, 07:58:23 pm
The Stars, as bad sets as they are(they're Av-Toran with Armour), are actually quite good sets for MoCing, as they bring in long lost sets in new forms that are consistent with the old ones.

TN Stars with TN Mistika might work, but the mask would probably be too small...
Vezok and Nektann might work. Nektann has a great spine piece, and his weapon is huge(for a Stars sized set).

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 05, 2009, 11:23:01 am
Well that would probably be a good reason. =P

Also, does anyone else find it funny that we rely on this topic even though we have a whole forum to the subject of Bionicle? =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Nope. Not at all. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 05, 2009, 11:28:40 am

Is there any way that we can get more topics about Bionicle instead of just relying on this topic? =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 05, 2009, 11:30:44 am
Maybe make other topics? Like official BIONICLE story discussion and official BIONICLE set discussion? And keep this topic for all things not set or story.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 05, 2009, 11:48:08 am
Not sets or story... and that would be? Like saying you got a new set or something...

Maybe. But yeah, topics for the forum could include:

Official Bionicle Games Discussion (about any games(for systems or on the site))
Official Sets Topic
Official Storyline Discussion
GD


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 05, 2009, 12:27:07 pm
Well, then make this sets discussion.


...Official Software topic would work, games would fall into this category.

I got the Bionicle Stars, here's the pictures:

Gresh

Nikann
(http://i49.tinypic.com/vghruq.jpg)
Rahkshi
(http://i49.tinypic.com/3462sg0.jpg)
Skrall

Tahu (w/Gold Parts)
(http://i46.tinypic.com/15nwyna.jpg)
Takanuva
(http://i47.tinypic.com/2h84yz5.jpg)

They're pretty cool, wish they had bending joints though...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 06, 2009, 02:32:19 pm
Those silver blades look absolutely beatiful... but Gresh's hands are the wrong way round. =P

Also Tahu's gold is beautiful but why does he have a SHIELD if he has a mask of SHIELDing? O_o



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 06, 2009, 02:32:43 pm
You expected bending parts on an Av-Toran mod? =P

I can see the stars... And they shine so bright. =D

KZ: Extra layer of protection. He has to concentrate to use the Hau after all, and it doesn't protect from behind. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Iconox on December 06, 2009, 04:02:52 pm
Nikann's cool, but his spine is too small to fit any other Piraka '06 sets, plus he's about half their size.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 06, 2009, 04:04:29 pm
Well, Nektann's kinda supposed to be smaller, as the Piraka are Canister Sized sets, and the Stars are Av-Matoran sized sets... But it can't fit a Piraka? Shame. But I'm sure it could be fixed somehow.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 06, 2009, 04:05:05 pm
NEKTANN

I cannot stress that enough.

'Nikaan' is probably a japanese/chinese word.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 06, 2009, 04:08:01 pm
I don't even think it's a word. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 06, 2009, 07:28:08 pm
Nikaan is absolutely amazing! He's way better than what I first saw. Gresh and Takanuva are also really cool, and Tahu is still the best.

And now for the revised order:
-Tahu
-Nikaan
-Gresh
-Taka
-Rahkshi
-Skrall

p.s.: Nektann lol


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 07, 2009, 01:47:08 pm
It's NEKTANN.

Not Nikaan.

What I don't get though is why they didn't give Skrall a Lime green body and lime green old new hands for the feet connections.

Also,
I prefer Gresh over Tahu now. Tahu has an Av-toran head and too much orange, ut Gresh IMO has a much better colour scheme and weapons.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Dudebot5000 on December 07, 2009, 04:25:10 pm
Nikaan is a website, a person's first/last name, and a location in North Cotabato, Philippines, Asia.

Nektann is a Skakdi warloard.

Go figure. ::)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 07, 2009, 05:58:18 pm
Right, failish reindeer. =P

Now, if anyone has the rahkkshi, please tell me how the spine is attached.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Yeah, I know it's Nektann lol.

Nektann...

Gresh is pretty cool. Having exclusive armour and a proper sized head helps a lot. And I liked green sets.


EDIT: The rahkshi spine is attached at 2 points:
1: attached to a trans-orange y joint hand pieces(like the original head was). The hand joint attaches to a Solek leg, which gets connected to the body with a Av-Matoran connector piece.
2: The back of the spine has 2 o holes 1 stud apart, which get attached to a second Av-Matoran connector piece.

Look at that pic for all the pieces, and you can visualize how the whole thing works. Pretty smart, IMO. Nice way to make the boring build a bit better.

It hooks up to the back and is attached to the head, no krana =( And jeez, I didn't know what it was called; doesn't say Nektann on the canister.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 08, 2009, 06:08:51 pm
yeah, give him a break KZ. You can tell him what the name is, but don't DO THIS. ;) Not everyone's a storyline fanatic like we are. ;)

Though it was an interesting mistaken name, and we got a sig quote out of it, so I think we're all good. Right? Right.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on December 09, 2009, 11:23:37 am
Woo. =D Skadi and Tahu are mine.

(technically, the Piraka are 6 rogue Skakdi. Get your naming right, Lego. =P)

Honesly, tahu isn't that great. Skakdi is epic tho.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 09, 2009, 11:53:11 am
Piraka means muderder/Thieve in matoran. Get your facts right. Barraki means warlord.

So they're calling Nektann a Thief/Murderer.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on December 10, 2009, 04:47:38 pm
Duuuuuuude, chillax. =P It isn't THAT big of a deal.

Finished mah Toa of Lightning MOC, and, besides how hard it is to tell that thing is actually female, it's pretty good. =P

Tahu and Nektann Reviews will be up soon. Along with two new Chapters for my TLR spoof and an exclusive look (I've always wanted to say that ;D) at the Tuma Battle.

IMO, they were better when Kanoka Points were still used... I mean...

RAHKSHI ROCK is like one of the bestest reasons to get points. And all the stuff that used them...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on December 11, 2009, 02:45:14 pm
Yeah, those were awesome. I wish they had've had a fusion of the two... Stickers you could get with your Kanoka points. Plus it would've made Gresh's epic typo less... annoying. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 11, 2009, 05:15:39 pm
Picked up Kiina and Berix yesterday(since Kiina was on sale and I wanted an agori).

Berix is pretty cool(and has the Solek legs that I never had until now). Why they made the feet metru blue is beyond me, since the feet originally came out in Mata Blue. The blue flame sword is nice, and the helmet in blue is cool.The gold shield(?) is a little big though.

Kiina isn't that great. She's too skiiny and her torso(though custom) seems loose and too small for her. Her mask is okay, although the silver part doesn't go well with the set IMO. The 4 armour pieces and new leg/arm pieces are what I really got the set for, and the blue pieces.

Now that I have all 6 GL, my GL list is:
-Ackar
-Stronius
-Vastus
-Gelu
-MN
-Kiina


I need to find a camera to upload some custom MOCs.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 12, 2009, 06:45:50 pm
Meh, personally I like Kiina a lot.

Also EotS 9 up [/late].


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on December 12, 2009, 06:49:08 pm
As do I.

*already read it* I had a feeling Metus wasn't actually bluffiing. I wonder if RoS is ending soonish...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 12, 2009, 06:51:05 pm
RoS continues into 010, also AFAIk a mini-serial called Sahmad's tale will be up soon. Hope it includes Telluris and... what was that red thornatus guy's name? Oh yeah, Perdutis, the AMAZING Glatorian of storyline convenience! [/sarcasm]


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 13, 2009, 01:34:45 pm
Perditus. He had a great personality in TLR...

I want to see Telluris appear with XV1. For such a huge set and he got no story at all(unless you count the Skopio that was in TLR)...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 13, 2009, 01:46:06 pm
Telluris appears in The Crossing, part 6.

And hopefully ST...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 13, 2009, 01:52:12 pm
I never read the crossing... actually, apart from 2 serials on BioStory, I haven't done anything with the story this year(the two serials being RotGB and EotS).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 13, 2009, 01:55:57 pm
RotGB was rushed, IMo, though EotS wasn't IMO.

I just hope the new theme gives us recolours for us. (Think: in 9 years we might get translucent blue ackar sword, like with berix's water 'flame' =P)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on December 13, 2009, 01:58:18 pm
RotGB was good except at the end, which I won't post in case anyone hasn't read it. It gave us a look at people that will never be real sets though...

EotS was okay for the most part.

I feel that 2009 had a lot of potential, but it went overboard with Sisters of the Skrall, Elemental Lords, and a lot of other stuff. And the elements being given to MN friends was kinda a bad idea IMO.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on December 13, 2009, 02:02:11 pm
Agreed on the last point.

What was the point of moving to BM if we were only going to get 'Toa' again, but with no masks?




Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 04, 2010, 02:19:39 pm
So that we could have a break from island hopping every two months. And they aren't Toa. never were meant to be. The Toa were based off them. Mata Nui just gave them powers. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I want Nektann, because he looks amazingly cool, and I don't have many of the legs he has. I currently have the three good stars, and I don't plan on getting Rahkshi or Skrall.

If I can find a working camera I'll take a pic, of Canister Tahu (pretty much Ackar with Tahu's mask and flame sword) which looks pretty cool, and somewhat cooler than Ackar.

I'd do a review, but I'm kinda waiting until I get a camera...which should be happening by the 14th. =D It's kind of hard to do commentary without a camera. =P

Speaking of which, I'm going to start on a Rahkshi MOC. And make a canister and take a picture and trick R8 into thinking he needs to get another Rahkshi =P I won't say much about him at the moment, but his Staff will be the Staff of BAN. =P

Post by: Trijhak on January 06, 2010, 02:48:24 pm
So basically You're creating a Rahkshi of banning. ::)

...BTW, why does everybody think the black kopaka sword on SkrallStar is so great? That sword IMO is one of the worst.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 06, 2010, 02:50:47 pm
Hmm, maybe because it's never been in black before? And one of the worst? I think there may be a couple others that are worse... Like Kopaka Nuva's swords, which don't fit a Glatorian hand or regular hand in the actual hand formation at all.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on January 06, 2010, 04:54:03 pm
 And Jaller Mahri's sword...I hate that sword. =P It's one-sided. And weak. And clashes with his color scheme.

No, I'm creating a Rahkshi of AWESOME with a Staff of BAN. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 06, 2010, 04:55:52 pm
I like Jaller Mahri's sword, but I do wish it was double sided. A sword I do not like is Brutaka's, because it doesn't have symmetry(as shown by Jetrax).

The black Kopaka sword is cool because it is a great recolour, and most black pieces look shiny and cool. I don't really care for it that much, and won't buy the skrall set just for the sword.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 06, 2010, 04:56:11 pm
Hey, at least you can attach the lightsaber blades to it. But you know what's the best sword? ... Everyone's gonna guess it instantly, but I'm gonna let you guess. =P

ZLS: Yeah, but that set also has the Limegreen Skrall swords. =D

I gonna take a guess and say Lewa Newva's Chainblade... I'm sure I'm not even close though...

And I already have 4 lime skrall swords from Tuma(which makes me want Skrall even less, since I can almost build him now).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 06, 2010, 05:23:48 pm

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 06, 2010, 05:27:59 pm
No, not really. I wish it were longer like the Skrall helmets, and that it didn't have stickers. And the side parts are kinda weak, and you can bend them pretty easily(but they are plastic).

Isn't the Skrall Stars helmet the same as Fero and Skrall winter09?

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

The new feet are cool, and they have 2 connection points(which is better than the armour).

I replaced Gresh Stars pieces with Vastus pieces to make a Vastus Star and found that it was not meant to happen. The snake pieces get in the way.

I actually like the new torso design because it changes the boring design that most Stars have. But the open socket that is left is pretty undesireable.

Skrall should have had more Lime pieces. Lime libs. Lime weapons. Black everywhere else... because then we'd finally get BLACK 09 HANDS.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 06, 2010, 05:43:14 pm
KZ: Yeah, but then it'd be the green set, and would kick Gresh out. But yeah, I have the same opinion on the black '09 hands. D= We'll never get to see them unless the new line somehow has the hands still.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I said the Limbs. The arms and the legs- that would be mostly black.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 06, 2010, 05:48:32 pm
Black Hands would be nice, but I think the new line will use black hands(or Power Miners will).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 06, 2010, 05:49:51 pm
Well, if the new line doesn't, hopefully Power Miner's habit of reusing parts will come in handy. Have you seen the new PM sets using Thornax launchers? I wonder how they're gonna explain the spikes and such. ::)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on January 06, 2010, 05:52:21 pm
Um... PM doesn't use Thornax, they use the Thornax LAUNCHERS with ZAMOR in them.

But they are handy for recolours


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 06, 2010, 05:53:20 pm

oh, that makes sense. PM is a cool line.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Ddude The Insane on January 06, 2010, 05:53:39 pm
@KZ-=P Black hands would be nice.

And a few comments on my future Rahkshi: Good 'ole RoA (Rahkshi of AWESOME =P) will be blending the old Rahkshi design with some newer pieces. I'll be improving the torso, and-well, let's just say the RoA will be a lot bigger and bulkier than other Rahkshi.

And although Heat Vision Rahkshi has its flaws, it's starting to grow on me. I like the neck design. I'm not crazy about the rubbery back spikes and lack of Kraata, but it's still a good tribute to Rahkshi. For the specie's first appearenece in almost 7 years, it's a pretty good set.

Wait, PM is using a Thornax Launcher? O_o And has anyone seen all of those black Kiina Fins on one of the Atlantis Sets? =D Altlantis might be a new theme I get in to. I need to expand beyond Knight's Kingdom, Bionicle and Star Wars, for obvious reasons. =P (the first two have been canceled, KK was actually canned a while ago. And Star Wars is probably ending in 2011. Unless Lucas makes 7, 8 and 9. Which wouldn't shock me.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

@ZLS: PM set Lavatraz uses a Thornax LAUNCHER.

 BTW, for discussion of PM< go to the Power Miners Topic in LEGO.


Now, as for Nektann... I don't get why everybody likes him. With that spine, he's obviously VERY limited and he has the bleh colour scheme of Metru Blue and grey.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 06, 2010, 05:58:41 pm
We're talking about the pieces though. And how they're used elsewhere. Won't be much more after the sets end. ;)

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

No. At least they have a reason to bring the Gold Hau back. And it's better than last year's gimmick.

@mtm: thanks for the pics. That spine is cool and is the main reason I want Nektann.

@KZ: Nektann is a cool set and I don't the the spine will restrict movement that much. Plus he comes with blue solek legs, which i have few of(Solek legs that is), and I have only 1 set of the 2-toed claw foot. The colour scheme is actually not bad, and Nektann as a character sounds pretty cool.
If I had more Piraka sets/av-toran sets I probably wouldn't get Nektann, but because he is one of the last Bio sets I want to get him, since he also reminds me of Vezok, one of my personal fav characters.

I also got Tahu recently. He's cool although different arms would be nicer at it was fit his arms more.

It's in the MOC Corner.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 10, 2010, 04:57:03 pm
I picked up Stars Piraka and Rahkshi today.

Starting off withRahkshi: he's pretty cool, but the staff restricts his movement, and his head has almost no movement. He looks a lot like the original Rahkshi though, and he looks really cool and menacing.

Piraka/Nektann is epic. The mask/spine is really cool, although it could be slightly loner to allow more movement. The blade he holds looks really cool and is a great size for him. Definately my favourite Star.

Because the site hasn't been updated for anything Stars related yet. It's only the 11th, give it time. They need to prepare everything else, like the Mata Nui Saga, and the Battle Videos.

Somehting that's being put up on Bionicle.com when it updates. I'm pretty sure it's a web podcast serial thingy with Michael Dorn as mata Nui, but I could be wrong. See Bink's Blog for more info.

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on January 11, 2010, 05:32:43 pm
Doesn't it fit all heads? It fits in Metru Heads, contrary to popular belief, and only a tiny amount of the rod is actually showing underneath.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 11, 2010, 05:34:41 pm
Yeah, but the Mata Heads are wider, which is the reason why 07-08 masks won't fit...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 11, 2010, 05:51:05 pm
The Nektann is somewhat limiting, but the avtoran body is also limiting, since Nektann's head is quite big and the avtoran body is small with little shoulderblade type things on either side of the head. The spine does limit the poseability of the arms, as they can be pulled back towards the body by the spine.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

ZLS: You see right. I think it's the Skrall-lookalike that has it. ;) But I don't see why people dislike the Hero Factory sets... Especially since they're only the small sets unless they pull a Stars on us again.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 14, 2010, 06:11:45 pm
Well, the white one is pretty cool, and I do not think they are canister sizing any sets for this line. Although it talks about a HERO Pod, so maybe there will be a larger set with a seventh hero and a hero pod... which would be cool, maybe.

No, not leaked in the traditional sense(Unless there are leaked pics out there like everything else). But the small sets' pictures are out. And the community's divided. But there's an epic wielder of Air that's a female. And still green. And there's electricity, Metal/iron, and Sonics. =D


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 14, 2010, 06:31:41 pm
IMO the green one is not that epic. But I may change my mind later with more pics. The white one is pretty epic.

And the green one is female(what?) this would be the 3rd female set that is not blue?(in Bionicle history).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

I mostly don't complain because I really don't care. and yes, the names are easier to remember, but since the sets are quite similar to Bionicle its wierd for them to have human-esque names.

You mean besides the fact that they don't have Thornax? =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 15, 2010, 07:02:16 pm
RIGHT. That would be not a good selling point without a launcher. I completely forgot about that part. I was thinking also that it wouldn't fit on some sets(namely Rahkshi), but that must be the most important point.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 15, 2010, 07:04:18 pm
Yeah. Besides, it's nice to have a year or two without launchers... They were starting to get tiring, because you would know that there'd be at least one weapon and a special launcher that had a special effect. ::)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 15, 2010, 07:06:16 pm
I did not like lanchers very much. They got in the way most of the time, and were for the most part heavy and aqward on most sets(especially Cordak). The Thornax launcher was cool though. The thornax was not though. Zamors look better in the launchers than Thornax.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 15, 2010, 07:08:21 pm
Yeah, I agree. Midak was fun to use, but heavy, especially when you modify it to fit the was the Glatorian hands work. =P

Eh, they would look better, but wouldn't they fall out more without the spikes?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 15, 2010, 07:10:48 pm
Probably. But it looked cool. And the tri-arm thornaxlauncher that shoots zamors that a lot of people at BZP MOCed looked pretty cool.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 15, 2010, 07:15:45 pm
True. Though LEGO's figured that out too. *Points at PM sets* =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on January 15, 2010, 07:17:35 pm
Oh yeah.  Are there more than 2 PM sets for winter, or is Lego just not good at realising they have a good line of sets?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 15, 2010, 07:21:23 pm
I dunno. Haven't been following PM that much, but I wouldn't put it past them after they ended Exo-Force in 2008, and Bionicle two years later. -_-


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on January 15, 2010, 07:22:25 pm
Yes there are 4 PM sets. The Fire Blaster, Magma mech, Claw Catcher and Lavatraz.

What do you mean by using as AGOri? The body, the characters, or the type?  I think all of those things i wrote (the body...)fit as agori. THe HF can be used as Agori.

Agreed. Oh, and Fawful, mine is not just the stars. All the Glatorian and previous stickers.

Lionytai: Yeah, but they were good because they had the Toa Kanohi in rare colours. Teal Miru is win. Same with sand blue(?) Akaku, and the blue Noble Huna(Though likely there was one of those in the mask packs).

I first heard of Bionicle in 2004.

And speaking of rare colors, I want to see teal back in action. WHy LEGO, why must you abandon Teal and Purple? Dx

 



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

They needed new colors. Like brown was  new color!


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 21, 2010, 11:14:25 am
B~T: I don't even think they know what Teal is. =P And purple is apparently because they can't get a consistent colour.

Lionytai: ... Brown isn't a new colour...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on January 21, 2010, 12:31:03 pm
Brown has existed in LEGO since...

probably before our birthdates.

Teal? Turquoise. Don't want the teal Zaktan had, more like the Turquoise Kongu had. Many people mistake it for teal.



Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

That was Teal? I thought it was something like Sand Green on Zaktan...

Post by: Trijhak on January 21, 2010, 03:01:33 pm
Officially, Kongu has turquoise on him.

Unofficially, it is 'teal'.

But, MLNOfficially: it is turquoise.

That reminds me, one of the HF sets better have turquoise in them..


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on January 21, 2010, 03:03:54 pm

What about this. Bionicle is ending setwise, and I'm not sure how much story HF is gonna have, so one board would work. Besides, the HF canisters have Bionicle written on them(so does B10), so it could be a big board of B10, Bio, and HF.

Remember Vezon?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 06, 2010, 10:40:17 am
Read it again.... it was NOT tren Krom in Lewa's body, it was Lewa-and obviously they're dead in space-nothing can breathe in space.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 06, 2010, 11:10:06 am
KZ: Lewa wasn't mentioned at all when the people got transported. I read it multiple times. ;) And what, you think that Vezon's powers only work in the MU? He's on Spherus Magna. He's been hinted to reappear in ROS... So he opens a portal that just so happens to take the others in, like how he used Brutaka and Helryx's portal to get fused with the mask. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion

OGD says lewa was transported w/ the rest of 'em. :/

Post by: Blade on February 06, 2010, 02:25:44 pm

Well, still doesn't rule out Vezon unwittingly saving them with his 'portal every step' ability.(Hey, I doubt he naturally lost that ability when he got to the Spherus Magna universe; I think it was because of that Great Being.)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on February 06, 2010, 02:30:03 pm
in OGD, greg just kept saying 'follow the story and find out', whenever he was asked if they're dead. so they probably will be saved.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 06, 2010, 02:40:48 pm
Hopefully. And earlier in OGD, he hinted that Vezon would return in ROS, so... I kinda figure they will be saved. Especially since he included a few fan-favourites in that group. =P

Post by: Dudebot5000 on February 07, 2010, 01:52:54 pm
Sounds like a Greg question, but I'd imagine so. And even if not, Artahka teleported 6 beings into Karda Nui once, so I'm sure he could get the job done anyway. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 07, 2010, 03:22:34 pm

You sure there isn't? I'm sure a lot of those people will be annoyed since there are awards.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2010, 04:33:38 pm
Yes. I failed level 4, could that be why?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 18, 2010, 05:18:39 pm
Not sure. Could be, but I'll be finding out soon, as I just beat the game ^_^(Not sure what the second award's for, but the first one is 'Get over 15,000', the third one is 'beat the game', the fourth is 'beat the game and bonus mode', fifth is 'maximize the Protodermis bar', sixth is 'build over 24 defenders', and seventh is also unknown)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2010, 05:58:35 pm
What's bonus mode like? You mentioned it on BZP.

Oh, and no matter how hard I try, I can almost never get past level 5.

But the Defender prices go up each time they upgrade... and your maximum protodermis goes back to 50 every new game... so if they were all level 5 wouldn't that mean it will be unplayable because of the fact that the defenders cost more than the maximum proto?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 18, 2010, 06:32:51 pm
Tahu against all the enemies. Only Tahu, but you get to use the Rain of Fire power for the only time. =P

And to the second question, no, because Tahu and Straakk are 25 and 50 respectively. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2010, 06:39:47 pm
I assume the Rain of Fire power rains upon EVERYTHING.

Tahu... only 25? Good, because I use tahus and greshes the most. Gresh because he is very powerful, at least when I used at level 3 on Level 4...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on February 18, 2010, 06:47:46 pm
Yep. And continues for a while, though I still abused Fireball on the Tumas and such. =P

Yeah, though Gresh 5 is 100 points. I try to max out the bar early on.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 18, 2010, 07:02:49 pm
Seeing as apparently, it's just Tahu, I assume the protodermis amount stays nice and high.

i love metus here:

Quote
he serpent slithered through the sand and looked up at me with pleading in his ice blue eyes. "I've stopped dreaming" it whispered.

this one'll bring up a lot of discussion on BZP:

Quote
I ran through the village in search of the woman I loved. When I found her, I took her in my arms and held her tight, and an instant later, my arms held only empty air.

the newsletter said that every week a story will update.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 24, 2010, 10:27:25 am
...Er, no, just Journey's End. The BIONICLE News is not a newsletter, if that was the MLNO newsletter... they've got it completely wrong.


And boy, does Sahmad's Tale suck. Just Riddle of the great beings with new characters and a different objective, but the exact same plot.

'Head north'.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 24, 2010, 02:45:53 pm
the plot is nowhere near the exact same. But Sahmad's Tale and RotGB are both epic.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 24, 2010, 02:49:22 pm
Yes they are:

Both headed north. Both have had three main characters. Both have had some means of transportation. It's just Riddle of the Great beings with different characters and flashbacks forced in.

And Sahmad's tale is very boring because of that.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: The Host on February 24, 2010, 03:29:05 pm
Sahmad's tale is much more than just heading north. According to your explanation, most of the Bionicle story was the same.
2006: There are six toa who are trying to find the Mask of Life. And there's 6 villains plus two other people, one on each side.
2007: There are six toa who are trying to find the Mask of Life. And there's 6 villains plus two other people, one on each side. And some sea beasts thrown in.
2008: There are six toa who are trying to locate keystones and the Codrex. There's 6 villains and other people dsitibuted evenly. And flashbacks.

Plus you can't be sure what is going to happen in ST. Maybe now that Metus has stopped dreaming there will be a different plot...


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on February 24, 2010, 03:37:28 pm
Because it is.


2001: Bad guys. Toa fight them, go underground, fight more/the same bad guys.... same for 2002 and 2003.

2004: Flash back, six Toa must find great disks and defeat Makuta.

2005: Flashback, the six toa are mutated and must find keetongu and defeat bad guys.

2009/2010: when my mind is cleared, I'll get back to people on this.

The thing that's over is the sets, so not for the foreseeable future.

Especially the Black Hydraxxon mask on Von Nebula and that orange Bohrok...cover thingy on the Furno Bike. I just really wish some of the names on these sets were better.

My Favorite HFs from those pics:
Von Nebula

That's Bota Magna, and they're on Aqua Magna at that time, with Bara Magna the current setting. All three are parts of a bigger planet, Spherus Magna.

Journey's end has been epic.

And Tahu has eyebeam powers.

epicer than any other story?

WHAT, do you brickers want to know what I think of Bionicle?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on April 29, 2010, 08:39:27 am
Of course we want to know. (I think you think that they are just action figures.)

LOLWUT I tin' Has Bionicle really ended?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on April 29, 2010, 11:14:32 am
Only the sets have ended.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Teddy3333 on April 29, 2010, 11:20:01 am
I think it must have gotten less popular, otherwise LEGO would have found SOME way to continue the plot.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on April 29, 2010, 11:22:29 am
*Cough* They did. ::) Only the sets are ending, the story's continuing. And I think that while the sets have apparently gotten less popular somehow(I don't really get that), they have essentially just been rebranded as Hero Factory. ::)

Interesting... I wonder if there's a huge book with a compilation of the whole story.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on April 29, 2010, 11:32:28 am
I dunno, but I'd imagine not, though BioSector01 has a lot of info on the story.

With old characters?

If there was it would be a really large one...if pictures were included.

Question: which bionicles were most popular?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on May 04, 2010, 11:19:10 am
Set wise, or Story Wise?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on May 04, 2010, 11:21:14 am
Set wise, Bohrok. Story wise, Vezon or the Toa Nuva, most likely.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on May 05, 2010, 08:13:13 am
Bohrok was the Visorak?



I meant set wise.

Bohrok. The roll-up bug things of early 2002?

Anyone know what they are?

Is it possible to download it without ipod?

I'm not gonna comment on that, since I have no clue about that and it's nearly a year old.

However, I will reboot discussion by saying that the story's still continuing; although it hasn't been updated for a little while now, likely because Greg's so busy, or Bink's been busy, one of those two things. =P

Yeah, that was pretty cool of an ending for the serial.

Now we just need updates for The Yesterday Quest. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Trijhak on July 12, 2011, 04:05:25 pm
I'm now of the opinion that there needs to be a schedule for the serials, like in early 2008 and 2007.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on July 12, 2011, 04:06:42 pm
They had a schedule in Early 08 and '07?

Though, most of the delays can be attributed to Greg simply not having as much time to write the serials as before.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 10:32:43 am
I just got this Bionicle at wal-mart for $30.


Thornatus V9



Is that a good deal? It was like, originally 60 dollars?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 10:37:28 am
Very very good deal.

Was it just now? You'd think they wouldn't have them anymore, given that they're 2 years old now...(The 2009 sets, that is)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 11:12:02 am
Yeah, just yesterday.


Yup, it was the 2009 sets.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 11:14:44 am
I know it was the 2009 sets. =P

0_o Wow; you must be lucky then... Wonder why they still have two year old sets?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 11:17:27 am
I had to share it with my brother though.


It was a clearance item. No one wanted it, I guess.
 
(It was labeled $59.96 on it, but we took it to the price scanner, and it showed up $30.00)


It would've cost at least $100 USD in Asia.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 11:53:53 am
D= But the Thornatus is a great set. =/ Wish I had that luck, though. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 11:56:04 am
How much did you get for it?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 11:58:14 am
I didn't. =P Only 2009 set I have is Gresh... Wish I had Mata Nui, though.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 12:02:38 pm
Then how do you know it was great?


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 12:05:33 pm
Because I've seen it a lot. =P And if nothing else, it was a great source of parts. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 02:39:34 pm
I agree. Very good parts.

When I first saw it I thought it was like, 10 years old. I thought it looked like when Bionicle was still "Technic".


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 02:49:16 pm
Nah; they went back to a technic-like style for the vehicles in the last two years before it was cancelled. =P


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 02:57:46 pm
Toysrus rarely have lego clearances.

Nah; they went back to a technic-like style for the vehicles in the last two years before it was cancelled. =P

Well, Bionicle is technic after all.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 21, 2011, 03:02:21 pm
Lionytai: 1. Except for this year. They had like a sale every single week this year. xD

2. No; Bionicle is it's own style. The initial sets from 2001-'03 were technic, but they moved away from that to become their own style... Which is why you never see 'technic' on the canisters anymore. ;)


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: lionytai on August 21, 2011, 08:44:26 pm
1. Sales are clearances are a bit different. Sales mean that may go to their original price later, but clearances mean that the stores don't want them anymore. The prices will only drop.

2. Ah, now I get it.


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: Blade on August 27, 2012, 04:06:45 pm
1. Ah, now I understand...(I thought sure I had replied to this post already? 0_o)

2. Yep. Though some things stayed more technic than others.

Is BionicleStory.com still getting updated? I can't see a date on the latest entry and I want to catch up on the lore so I'd rather not fall behind while catching up (then again, I don't remember the last time I visited that site :P).


Title: Re: Bionicle General Discussion
Post by: mtmerrick on September 01, 2012, 01:32:33 am
Nope. No updates sing GregF's wife had her baby..... and he's still crazy busy. Bioniclestory.com was a side project for him, done in his free time, which sadly, he has none of left. In fact, the only story info we've gotten from him since then was the revelation for the great being, which is currently on BZP's homepage.
