I like the effects and your digital editing skill is very good, but could you post some regular photos from different angles? Also, while the gearbox on the legs is cool, the crotch looks a little disturbing to me. is it just there because if not their would be a ball joint coming out there? Other than that it looks really good. How did you connect the head?

A quick moc I made combining the Protectors of Fire and Jungle. I appologize for the terrible camerawork, I used my laptop webcam as the focus on my tablet is broken. I used almost all of the pieces of the two and made a figure that's just a bit shorter than lewa, with a double-barrel gun and some flames on his back. The 2nd pcitures shows how I modified the POF's shoulder-thingy to add the flames on his back. Lenta lives on the side of Okoto's volcano, near the jungle side. He has trained for years and has a custom weapon he made from discareded parts that fell into his hands. He wears decorative peices on his back that burn wiht red and green flame. (For those of you that watched PAX a while ago... GREEN FLAME!) https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/107574581178755783602/albums/6103659924215929585

I think that he's the current protector, and that the scene shows the previous generation of protectors telling the younger generation, showing that time has passed since the "The legend" episode. Probably not, because he's also in the back row of villagers when the current Protector of Fire addresses Tahu in the second episode. He may be a future Protector, though, since the Protector of Fire addresses him as "son". Ah, I didn't catch that. Then maybe, though I think its really annoying that they all look the same.

The real question is what does the mask look like from behind, and can one put it on one's head? Also, does anyone now when the event starts?

Are you interested in any help? I like where this is going, though I only have experience with d&d 5 so I don't know much about how these stats look.

Well, that shows how well I researched this before posting to both reddit and bzp. Are you looking for help?

I am a big fan of the text-based rpg here, despite not having time for it in the past few years. I DM a Dungeons and Dragons game in my dorm, and have recently been thinking about designing a similar game with mechanics for Masks and Elemental Powers, Racial Statistics, etc. Does anyone have any input? I am a bit worried about some things, like problems with balancing Matoran and Toa (or Agori and Glatorian for that matter). I think the system would be similar to 5th Edition Dungoens and Dragons (Bounded accuracy, etc), but any input people have from experience with other systems that have similar themes (I've heard that the anime system has creation magic). Any suggestions?

I'm hoping for a soft reboot kinda like what happened to doctor who. I've never seen much classic who yet I can jump right in and everythings wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey. There's still references to the original and classic characters and whatnot, and the main character is still the same (hopefully Mata or Metru(I grew up with the metru)). I do want to see the serials tied up in some way though, be it through the serials themselves or some other way. Either way, I'm still going to buy a couple sets and glue my face to bionicle-story.com (assuming that's where I can find it). Some people have said that they may make a tv show. If they do, I really hope that its on netflix or somewhere where I don't have to get cable tv to watch it.

Hey guys, just wanted to share this I pulled from the css on the page. No news or anything just the image in the background. It's pretty high quality and I believe that it has a transparent background. http://cache.lego.com/r/www/r/bionicle/content/project/mask-straight.png And here's the background http://cache.lego.com/r/www/r/bionicle/content/project/bg-tile.jpg

A couple thousand for 10 years? I am not sure if that is right. I think copyright lasts for 70 years plus the life of the creator, but I don't know how that works with businesses. But what I am trying to figure out is the total cost of the entire franchise. Like, if I were to walk in to Lego headquarters, how much money would I theoretically have to offer them. I am not sure if it is even possible to calculate, but like I said, I am just wondering.

So I was looking at the "What if Bionicle was a young adult tv show" thread and it got me thinking... How much is the Bionicle trademark worth? Specifically, how many USD would it take to put the rights to bionicle completely in Greg F's ownership, or into the public domain. I know that TLG has been very generous and allowed things like BZP, fanfics, and Greg to continue writing, but I was just wondering. I don't know much about copyright law, and have no idea how to calculate the value of such a thing, but I was just curious.

Unfortunately, I do not have the time for this anymore. Anyone who wants to use my characters can, but they have to try and make then seem like I had them. Oh, and people with chars in the Hau Karda get first pick.

I didn't actually mean steampunk.... Oh nevermind.The point is for them to have mecha's fighting against bohrok.

Would anyone be willing to help me refine my bohrok storyline ideas? Point our some flaws, help me refine it, give some advice? anything? To be honest, I kinda want it to be steampunk matoran vs bohrok. Here is the thread I have it posted in:http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=6281&view=getnewpost

IC: Tangrua, TegamTangua hopped off the cart and whispered something into Tegam's ear.Tangrua stepped up and said " Not that I care, but seing how determined that Iris is to make a fool out of me and my compainions, I would like to add something to the conversation" Then he walked right up to iris/miha and slapped her on the face as hard as he could. It wasn't that hard, as Tangura wasn't the strongest Po-Matoran on the block, but it was hard enough to sting, and it also was completely unexpected.Meanwhile, Tegam walked up to Dekuna "Lets go" he said, and then seing the blank look on his companion's face, he took the iron filings off his blade, and spelled out what he was trying to say in the air. Dekuna looked at him confused. Tegam spelled "1 on 1, Miha asked you to leave." Dekuna nodded, and the two went to twoards the hospital. As soon as the rounded a corner, Tegam immediately started signing "Can you make it so we can tell something to Havon without Miha hearing? I need to deliver a message to him from Tangrua. Miha said that her mark is fueled by determination. If Havon is not determined to beat her, then her mark won't have any power. But he can't be determined not to beat her either. Its confusing. He just can't be determined. Can you tell him that?"OOC: A little bit of bunnying, if you have a problem with that lorax, let me know. Delivering the message is still up to you.

IC: The cart pulled up by Miha, and Tangua stepped off.OOC: My next post depends heavily on knowing if the fact that determination fules miha's mark has been revealed to the chars who were in the hospital. I don't remember. Boibeast, please let me know if this has happened yet.

How I come up with names is to think of an attribute that involves the character, then mess with it untill it sounds bionicle-y. EX: Ning-Lightning, Amakav-Vakama, Tegam-magnet.Others I just make something up, like Tangura, Cretilian, and Nogow.

OOC: BioBeast said they fell on the bed. Tegam magnetized them to said bed, along with amakav. There would be no way to escape by "disentanglement". Tangura had taken off before then. Also, I think Miha/Iris had control over them. Lets assume that the gaurds you were mentoning are different ones. Either that, or think of a more reasonable explanation. IC: Tangrua "Need a lift?" Tangua said, as he pulled up with his cart. As they stepped on, Tangurau pulled on the reigns, and they took off down the street Dekuna pointed down.

IC: Ning, Amakav, Tegam, TangruaNing, startled by the newcommers, let out an electric shock, stunning Amakav. The toa of fire fell over, and landed on top of the new toa incommers. Tegam drew his blade, and magnetized the three to the bed and each other. Tangrua took off after Miha and Havon, knowing that this was not the matoran who had come to hate him.

IC: tegam"I haven't seen her. Of course, I haven't seen either of you two since you left us in po-koro." Tegam said to HavonOOC: I have to go for a week. I will be back next monday. Bunny my chars till then, and pm me of any major developments/character movements. See ya in a week.

Hey hau karda, I am going to camp next week with nothing but a mp3 player filled with bioncile serials, so I won't be here untill, say, next monday. School starts that thursday.

Thanks. On 2.0, I got some good pics which look a lot better. The head is a bit small, My original idea was for him to be toa-sized, but that didn't go so well. I also addded some weapons.My improvements will be addedd as soon as they finish uplading to brickshelf.

I moved this from my bohrok alt universe thread. Krana Guy .5a while ago I made a guy which you could stick a krana into. He was preety awesome, but I apparently never took a picture, and it is so hard to build the same thing twice. My pathetic attempt at recreating this awesome moc can be seen here: http://www.brickshel...ok/dsc_1809.jpg"Krana Guy 2.0"I redesigned him, and this one is a lot better. Weapons are comming soon, and I know the pics are kind of dark, but this is what I have. http://www.brickshel...ok/dsc_1868.jpgThis one is a good guy, he is a prototype for krana that blend in better with toa, but he was to independent and defied his creators. He might be a bit tall to blend in, but I think he is good. Also, his arms are completely one arm, not 2 identical weapons held by short stubby arms, even though it looks looks like that.
