Who says you need another piece? Make a blue Skrall with a cybernetic arm or something. That way only one arm needs the blue sword.

It won't allow you? That's odd.

So it really does just come down to artistic license, doesn't it?

Yeah, I'm gonna keep crunching the numbers and see what I come up with In the end, I think we need to make the assumption that the Great Beings have knowledge beyond our sciences to construct a planet that bends the laws of physics to their world :PAnd notice how there's no Nui-Jaga or Nui-Rama sized bugs here? That right there tells you that Aqua Magna's gravity and atmosphere are radically different from ours here on Earth. The higher the oxygen content, the bigger the bugs. That means the atmosphere of Aqua Magna is primarily oxygen, not nitrogen like ours. Not sure if this has effect on beings other than bugs, but it shows that Earth and Aqua Magna are not very similar. Another thing I wonder is if they control the magnetosohere, because if it's not an iron core, they would need to, or the planet would be pounded with solar radiation. And I mean that one island has every major climate. That's pretty much an impossibility without artificial intervention.

Haha, it was confusing, yeah. First, I found Earth's Karman Line (62 miles), then assumed Aqua Magness was 7,600 miles. 7,600 divided by 62 is 122.6. So that was the atmosphere ratio between the planets. Then I multiplied Earth's dimensions by 122 to get Aqua Magna's. But as you said, it would be naive to assume that the planets would be proportionally similar (I'm paraphrasing ) But if the gravity is artificially altered to match Earth's (which I contend it isn't, it's lighter than Earth's. I point at the size of the insects for proof), the atmosphere would conceivably be in a proportionally similar place as Earth's, but if the gravity is lighter, it could be higher. And I got the five times the sun based on surface area data from NASA. So I assume the most likely answer is that the scene of the island breaking off can't be canon, as it would make the island too big?And sorry, I should have been more clear. By waves, I meant the ones that are always naturally flowing in the ocean, not the ones that his rising would have caused. I think a bigger issue would be: How are their climates so varied and similar to ours on a planet that's almost entirely ocean? I seem to remember reading that if our ocean wasn't broken up by continents the size of ours, the storms that would firm would completely destroy small islands or a single land mass (the article or show talked about Pangeae)

I'm going off the Green Day songs I've heard, which is admittedly few.

I suppose that's much better logic. I was going off the Karman Line, whichiis what scientistsclearly e to be pretty much the point where Earth's atmosphere stops and space begins. The line is 100 km, or 62 miles. You're correct that it is a gradient, but for these purposes, the Karman Line works just fine. And let's suppose that everything down to Mata Nui's knees is in space. Assuming he's proportioned generally well, that's still nearly a thousand miles. Now, if his height of 40 million feet isn't canon, I'll be the first to say that my math goes right out the window.Now, I'd like to call to mind the video of him standing up. When he looks up, you can still clearly see waves in the water. Now, think back to any images from the Space Station. It's 250 miles up, but you would never ever see waves from that height. And we can tell from the video that the amount of him that's submerged is fairly insignificant. So, on closer examination, I concede that my original math is wrong, and instead put forward that Mata Nui cannot possibly be 40 million feet tall. Now, let's figure out a more realistic height. First, we'll assume he's portioned somewhere similar to humans, at 7-9 heads tall. If Mata Nui (island) is about 303 miles long, 303 times 8 is about 2400. This may be closer to his correct height. But that figure doesn't work for me. If I understand you correctly, you think Mata Nui (island) is only half as big, correct? That's about 150 miles, which leaves you with about 1200 miles. If so, then the planet would still be a good bit larger than Earth, but not nearly as massive as I originally stated.

Ohhhh, that's quite cool! Have you thought of any uses for it, or are you just going to hold onto it as a keepsake? Edit: I also notice that the painting isn't complete on the prototype

Alrighty, so, I did this math on a topic over in GD. I wanted to bring it here to have my theory debated on. Here's the post: We can take that and make an even rougher assumption that, based on pictures, Aqua Manga is maybe a tenth the size of Bara Manga? Therefore, Bara Manga sits at a healthy 9,715,740 mile equatorial diameter, with a circumference of 30,522,904 miles, and a surface area of 29,655,265,735,624 miles. Consider that the sun has a surface area of 6,087,700,000,000 miles. Bara Manga is about 5 times as large as our sun. Does this math hold up?

Actually, considering space on Earth is only 62 miles up (The Karman Line, which is generally considered the boundry between the atmosphere and outer space), and in several images, it's pretty clear the Mata Nui robot is within the atmosphere of the planet. Since the Mata Nui robot is 7,575.56 miles tall, we'll call the Karman Line of Aqua Magna 7,600 miles. Very rough figure, but we'll roll with it. That would put Aqua Magna at about 122.6 times the size of Earth. That would be an equatorial diameter of 971,574 miles. That equals a circumference of 3,052,290.4 miles, and a surface area of 2,965,526,573,562.4 miles. Yes, Aqua Magna has a surface area of roughly 3 trillion miles. So yeah, Mata Nui and this dude stand roughly as tall as our entire planet is wide. So that picture is a bit inaccurate.

I can't be the only one who opens up old content blocks just to see how noobish I was, could I?

I'd just been thinking that we need this topic again! Here I am with my girlfriend's horrified kitty:

Sure thing, my man!

Sadly, no TPBM doesn't own any prototype parts, either

Happy New Fear - Lordi

Some unpopular musical tastes incoming! 3 Doors Down Anacrusis Breaking Benjamin Chevelle Demon Hunter Device Disturbed Fight Or Flight Five Finger Death Punch Fozzy Kansas Lordi Megadeth Oingo Boingo Ra Ramin Djawadi Red Sabaton Skillet Stone Sour Styx Tally Hall Trans-Siberian Orchestra Ryuujin, I still hold you singularly responsible for entirely shaping the groundwork for my taste in music. Lordi, Disturbed, Demon Hunter, Fozzy, 5FDP, Chevelle, Anacrusis...every single one of those was introduced to me by you. And I sincerely thank you.

Arriving today will be Fight Or Flight's debut album, A Life By Design?. Thanks to Amazon AutoRip, I've already been listening to it, and it's pretty interesting. Definitely has an Evans Blue feel more than anything, but you can often catch a Distrubed-esque sound, thanks to Dan Donegan on guitar and Mike Wengren drums. And plus, the bassist is Sean Corcoran of Ra, so naturally I really like this album. I highly recommend it to fans of music such as Green Day, Evans Blue, or Breaking Benjamin.

That looks remarkably similar to a hypercube! (Tesseract, whatever) Ninja'd by ol' Takutanuva up there!

With my very limited knowledge of elements and such, I'd assume it's just a matter of it being such a powerful element to control, there aren't many who are worthy to have it. But Bonesiii is in this topic, so very shortly we'll find out exactly how wrong I am
