  1. Does nobody remember that Matoran were originally simply lifeless, mechanical things? What gave them life and sapience was the Mask of Life. Thus event is detailed in Legends...#3 I think.
  2. Its cool to see an Arrow character I LEGO form! I'm a fan of the show, so this is pretty cool to see. Sucks he's an SDCC exclusive, I'd love to have him without spending a ton if money to get him on eBay after the fact.
  3. Lewa Phantoka is pretty solid build-wise, and keeps a bit of consistancy in Lewa's overall aesthetic. In my opinion, he's the best of that wave of Toa, and of that entire year. But it is funny that not a single person has yet to vote for him as of right now haha
  4. For the Mata, I chose Pohatu. His build looked unnatural and weird, and his function didn't work if he was placed standing. I think all the Mata are solid, and all have their drawbacks, but Pohatu wins that one. Choosing a Nuva was tough because they're all kind of bad. I chose Gali because she looked so darn big and her mask is by far one of the worst because it simply doesn't seem feminine NOR gender-neutral. Pohatu or Onua are close seconds. All the Mistika are really kind of bad as well. I chose Onua because while his build was solid, he seemed nothing like a Toa of Earth, nor his past self. Gali is next because her mask, and Tahu is last because, while his build is illogical, it's at least kind of good.
  5. Besides being an awesome Toa-hero?! A Makuta would be cool...except that whole "shunned inner-light" kind of thing that makes them so evil. I don't want to be inherently evil. But them powers tho I think truthfully, a Steltian (Sidorak's species). They're tall and powerful and just generally cool-looking ...Or maybe a Ko-Matoran...
  6. It's hard to detatch from biases and look at this objectively. For small sets, the Mahritoran are solid and strong looking, without looking too small or powerful. The Voyatoran are a close second, if o ly for their unique builds. Heroes is a tough one. I went with Inika, just because they were so groundbreaking at the time. 13 points of articulation? Repeating launchers? Light up weapons? Separate builds and unique mish-mashes of color? So dope back in the day. Villains is also kind of hard, because the villains are typically more aesthetically interesting. But...Bohrok. Bohrok. Yes.
  7. Prowl and I are on the same page. As soon as I put Lewa I was like: "That's not gonna fly. He needs to move his head." XD I like my solution. It doesn't change his look too much, and nothing needs major adjustment to the point where his appearance or construction suffers. EDIT: No pun intended on my head-thoughts. That was not deliberately typed haha
  8. I literally just separated his gearbox+arms from his torso+legs and moved it up one. I'll post pics tomorrow (as where I am its 2:15am)if you would like to see what I mean. It makes his shoulders seem slightly less buffed up, but his head has space to do a full 360 and still look natural, like it was meant to be built that way.
  9. Mata Nui! fishers64, I feel like you may be the only one that understands each of our opinions. You hit the nail on the head, so thanks for keeping things clear with all the smoke around
  10. I would disagree. I've read, watched, and written enough to see the good and bad of something like that. Of course, that's just my opinion, so that's neither here nor there. You simply expanded upon my point, in the negative aspect. ("CAN be")
  11. I don't understand why everyone is still on about this. I don't believe anyone except Salvus has said anything remotely saying "it SHOULD have ended that way." I said the exact opposite in my last post, and anyone "advocating" for said ending is simply defending its validity. Also, shocking twists CAN be good storytelling, so you may want to reword that.
  12. Sahmad's Tale ended after Journey's End, do you except that one? Just curious.Eeehhh, see that's the problem. I wish I could change my vote, now that I've rethought it in the past few minutes. I acknowledge everything Greg wrote, and anything considered canon, but I'd like it if Journey's End was the end. It keeps things a bit cleaner. I'd also like to take a second and explain what I have been trying to convey in my previous posts. I LIKE the Makuta-winning-ending. I WOULD NOT have liked it to end that way. I said that differently in my first post. It wouldn't have been a very Bionicle-ish ending. I just hate that everything after that ended up being a mess.
  13. I'm not going to argue anymore. I've stated my opinion, and the only thing people seem to pick up on is my love for the 2008 ending, not that I even bothered offering my opinion on the later years. I've loved Bionicle ever since the start, and to imply I didn't just because I like the depressing ending that actually wasnt the ending is uncalled for. Back on point, I don't really have an ending for Bionicle, because it was a mess to follow after the line ended. Do I consider JE the End? Yeah, I do. Because the alternative is accepting seemingly-unfinished story bits. I'd rather have a vague ending than none at all.
  14. You all have very valid points. However, I think that if it had ended with Makuta's victory, it still would have been awesome. Yes, if it were to end there, it SHOULD end with Mata Nui awakening and Makuta somehow losing, but that would have been predictable. But still, I think the Glatorian story should have started with Mata Nui's landing, to give the story some more space, before it got cut off along with the line.
  15. Well, that's a depressing universe your bionicles are left in. The evil overlord has taken over, and now they live in a tyrannical regime where literally the entire universe enforces his will on you.Which is something I love as both a story teller myself, and lover of fiction. Bionicle was very much a story of good versus evil, and the good guys always came out on top, despite Makuta's ever-present evil and numerous schemes. But in the end, despite all their struggles and countless victories... The bad guy won. He conned EVERYONE into helping him. He got what he wanted. It's a twist I loved, and sending Mata Nui off into space was a wink to perhaps more, but it wasn't definite. I almost feel like the Glatorian thing SHOULD have been a soft reboot. That, or make Mata Nui land on Bara Magna from the start so things didn't seems so crammed and rushed.
