Swanka Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 First, I am going to apologize if this in the wrong part of the forum. I'm still relatively new here. Second, I am also new to the CCBS system. I recently got Onua, but I don't know how to describe the parts, or what they're called. What is this kind of part called? And this? And lastly, this? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I commonly see the terms "bone" and "shell" used for the first two, respectively. Not sure about the third though. -NotS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bfahome Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 The third piece I believe would be referred to as a "shell decoration". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorek Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 For the latter, I usually see the term "shell add-on". That one in particular I hear was referred to as "the BIONICLE piece" at the NYCC reveal. Bone is mostly used for the first, and shell for the second. That one in particular is a 4m shell, referencing its size. 1 BS01's Ambassador (Like us, Follow us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rooster Nui Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 Bone, shell and armor add-on piece. From what I know, the first two terms should be official, but I'm not quite sure about the third. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) The first are beams or bones (specifically, "A" beams/bones, while the ones with knee joints are "B" beams/bones), the second is a shell, and the third is a detail or shell detail. Some people also call the third type "add-ons".Shells and beams are measured by their length, so the examples you listed specifically are a 5M "A" beam and a 4M shell.

xccj Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 I refer to the first as Hero Factory limb pieces and the latter two as armor.

RahiSpeak Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 As mentioned by others, the first two are called "bone" and "shell", respectively. The third one, however, is termed "BIONICLE shell" on the lego.com SHOP pages. Bionicle Story Group (BSG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Element Lord of Milk Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 The shells (picture 2) are usually referred to by length in terms of studs, for example, the shell in the picture is four studs long. The bones (picture 1) I haven't really seen a unified way of referring to the different lengths, but I imagine that length in studs would work for those as well (The one in the picture would be about 5 studs long) . Picture 3 I've just seen referred to as "Bionicle shell add on" in most places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
