I freaking LOVE your Matoro model. It screams 'Miramax', yet it's so true to the set! The animation itself is simply haunting. Mahri Nui's dark, watery atmosphere is captured perfectly, as is the grim reality of Mata Nui's death. Keep up the good work! If you're still making a full-length fan film, I'd be happy to voice a character! (Or if you need dialogue for future shorts, either way.)

Thank you! Editing the legs would've been a neat thing, come to think of it. I actually used two programs to make it. I built and extracted a base sprite from the kit using Pixlr (it's similar to Photoshop), and then I went into Piskel to color and animate the sprite. I may dabble in Paint.net though, thank you for the suggestion. Bananas are good. So are toasters.

So, I decided to take a crack at using the Chimoru R Kit, a spiffy kit created by our very own @Soran. I thought, "What better character to make than Tahu?" The result was this: I wanted to make it resemble the set more closely without radically changing the silhouette, so the shoulder and hip joints were painted black. Since I'm an amateur at sprite-making, no Fire Sword here. Just some flames around Tahu's hand. Thoughts?

Well, this oughta be a good one.

Thanks for the info, it was helpful to me.

I dig that chomping mechanism. Looks like the Kraga Nui is ready to nom on some Kanohi.

K'orak looks fabulous, but Miyara resembles Hahli too closely for my liking. I would have given her a different mask. But overall, you have a pretty solid entry! Best of luck to you!

I've noticed many people have a spiffy mask spinning around by their PE bar, and I have no idea how to acquire one myself. Is it a reward, similar to PE?

It was even better when you could combine 'em all into a big one, like Voporak or Vezon and Kardas. And if we do get another legit titan set, it's going to be Makuta, more than likely.

Mind. BLOWN. This is one of the best theories I've read in a while. It makes a lot of sense, and Web of Shadows feels less convoluted yet far more interesting, and it fits better into the overarching plot because of it.

Can I get this thing in yellow so that I can make it into G1 Bumblebee? Joking aside, it's cool that we're getting more large-scale System vehicles. They're always so detailed and well designed!

He's a neat fellow. I wonder, where'd he get that staff? Did he steal it from a Rahkshi?

This piece is emotional. I teared up a little at the end.

All of your references.... Wow. I quite like this continuation, and I'm itching to see more! Keep up the great work!

No need, we already have our seventh Toa in the form of Ekimu. I'll be making a Takanuva anyway, personally. (That is, if and when we get the Vahi in set form.)

Well, with all the doomsaying as of late, this is quite refreshing.

The Bahrag were originally going to be spider-esque creatures that could carry Bohrok on their backs. There was a concept design of the Ignika that resembled the Mata Nui robot's face. Legends of Metru Nui was once slated for a theatrical release. A prototype teaser poster for 2009 showed a massive Vahki joint sticking out of the sand in the background, a Scarabax beetle in the foreground, and between them stood... Matoro, oddly enough.

"A simple game of Kolhii..." Very sleek and intimidating in appearance, but I feel that rougher lines would be appropriate, as Windy mentioned earlier. Come to think about it, it'd be a good callback to Teridax's appearance in MNOG.

This is very nice! I'd like to see the other Toa compared between gens at some point.

I'd love to see Marvel characters make it to Dimensions! (Plus, we could see Marvel and DC characters in one game, how cool is that?)

I would have been fine with that. However, I prefer the Toa as they are now. They look powerful and imposing, but in a good-guy way. If they changed size at this point, I would dislike it because it'd be a huge step back, as others have said. On the other hand, G2 could've taken a different route set-wise; the Toa could've started out as more compact, but retaining gearboxes. (Torso integration a la 2001-2004, anyone?) Thus, the Toa would be less pricey (probably around $10 or so). Even better, a lower parts count on the Toa would allow a greater budget for villain sets, which could lead to more imposing and impressive designs. Toa would be appealing as inexpensive, unique, and compact good guys, and their foes could be equally cool. This would have been a better path for G2 in my opinion, especially from a business standpoint, but also from a fan's perspective.

It's a tad disconcerting that TRU has certain sets before a LEGO store. What's even more disconcerting is that this Lego Store didn't even have a Bionicle section on their shelves. The only ones I could find were in a somewhat small bin, and they only had a mix of 2015 sets and the 2016 Elemental Creature sets. I was really surprised by this. My store even said they aren't going to carry them. This isn't looking good, at least not for American fans. My stores haven't looked good as of late either. I live in the Midwest, so it seems like a fairly widespread thing in the US. Toys R Us seems more willing than other stores to carry 'em though. Plus, we can always make purchases online. On the other hand, one of our fellow members, Pohaturon, says that G2 is selling well in Europe, so it has a chance there at least. It's a tad disconcerting that TRU has certain sets before a LEGO store. TRU stores also reaaaalllly don't care about street dating. They put the product out as soon as it arrives in most cases. (I remember in the earlier waves of Amiibo launches, TRU would always put them out way ahead of the actual launch. That kept happening until they got in trouble for it.) He looked on the 6th, and the sets were supposed to be out June 1st if I remember correctly.

We get all these crazy, kinda out-there things... and still no Bionicle. I don't know if Nexo Knights needs much more of a "push" than it's already getting as a big bang theme. Nexo Knights would be a fantastic addition to Dimensions but it's possible that Lego's waiting until it's had more time to prove itself before adding it. I'm also a little disappointed by the lack of original IPs like Elves or Nexo Knights. But on the other hand, we're getting Lego City Undercover packs, which was also near the top of my wish list, so that's something. And the game is supposed to last another year or so after this, so there's still plenty of time for more franchises to be added. On the other hand, Bionicle needs a push. Dimensions would be a perfect way to do that!
