  1. That. The original Disk Slizor/Bionicle hands were so versatile! I dislike the new Bionicle hands. Those are less versatile.
  2. Chro & Dark Blue: Ok, Maybe "bulky" in a sense that there are some large shell and weapon pieces that are hard to work with for a Toa/Matoran sized MOC. Like I've noticed the Toa's weapons are way larger compared to 2004-2005 pieces. How are you supposed to make a custom design with that? I can see it easy customizing for Titans or if you want to make your character anime style characters with big weapons. But, eh. Idk. Maybe that's just my nostalgic perception...that I really need to change soon. Wally & Aanchir: Thanks for the Technic/CCBS work around tips. I'm pretty sure if I have enough of those pieces, I can really take advantage of the shell armor on certain technic beams and whatnot. I already tried kind of doing that with my recent matoran MOC for his waist. I think I have a good idea of how to effectively use the shell pieces. However the limb pieces (arms and legs), especially the short ones are a bit trickier to customize but I think I'll figure a way around that. Thank you all for such great CCBS MOCing advice!
  3. [if in wrong section, please move post to appropriate subject. If a similar topic has been already answered, please direct me to it (because I couldn't find it on the forums)] I have no doubt that Bionicle Gen2 is going to continue using the bulky armor plates and ball&joint socket CCBS/Hero Factory piece design 90% of the time. I used to despise CCBS, but now I want to learn to build/like it (because of Bionicle coming back)! I can see them working well for making custom Titan MOCs, but not very practical if you're trying to make a custom Toa or Matoran sized MOCs (because the pieces are just too bulky). Another problem I face is that I find it difficult to combine CCBS with Technic/Bionicle Gen1 due to the fact they don't have any axle and pin inserts. Is there a way to work around that? If so, that would be a big help! For the record, I only own 3 CCBS sets. Stormer 1.0, Hero Factory Witch Doctor, and Kopaka Master of Ice. And I still cannot find any use from these pieces to use in my MOCs! :/ Any thoughts? Thanks in advance!
  4. I would of preferred it if they haven't brought back the gen 1 Bionicle characters. Having the original Toa Mata included in Gen 2 is a bit...eh. But I just assume this is like a prequel to the 2001 storyline...right?
  5. Favorite main-ish character?: Nuju Favorite side character (that I wish to see developed more)?: Nixie (you know, that ga-matoran.
  6. I would hecks yeah buy it! It includes gear functions!!!
  7. Tohunga sounds like tribe islanders (Mata Nui). But matoran seems like city people from Metru Nui.
  8. The 03 matoran. Because it's like Bionicle's version of LEGO Sports: Hockey. And hey! They have gears on a small set! That was cool.
  9. Another Hafu baaaaahriginal. I just kind of threw that out there. Because "Mahi Toi" in the Maori dictionary means art or craft. But Hafu the Goat, lol! That just threw me off!
  10. I thought what LEGO did with the right arm was pretty creative. I was kind of disappointed that they didn't do the same thing with the left arm. Why did they have to make it so uneven??? ALL the pieces were great for MOCing. But the actual set itself, it seemed too hollow. In my opinion, the Toa Hordika were not bad sets, they shouldn't been afraid to add more buff to them. Beasts are supposed to be big and buff. Not anorexic.
  11. I was wondering if it is possible that Bionicle characters, such as the matoran, have last names? It seems this rule only applies for the Toa in order to classify them of what island/section they are defending and protecting. For example: Toa Mata (Defenders protecting their island home, Mata Nui) Toa Metru (Defenders protecting their island home, Metru Nui) Toa Mahri (Defenders protecting Mahri Nui) However, then you get into other instances where the toas' last name are considered unique for particular specialties/situations. Such as: Toa Nuva (Toa Mata that has been transformed by Energized Protodermis making them more powerful) Toa Hagah (They represent guards of the Brotherhood of Makuta) Toa Inika (Matoran who were transformed by lightning that descended from the Red Star) My question is to you...Do you think the matoran would have last names as well? For example, in order to classify of the specific skill that they are most great in? Would it make sense? Such as "Hafu Mahi" (Hafu, 'the crafter')? I honestly can't imagine there being thousands of matoran in Metru Nui (throwing it out there), without someone having the same first name, you know?
  12. Sorry, but I just would like to expand upon this part of my post. It would make a great excuse to use the meh-cannon Bionicle elements in there such as; Iron, Lightning, Magnetism, Gravity, Plasma, and Sonics in order to fit the whole Cyber-Techno theme a bit more. In a way, it kind of makes sense for these elements to make apparent in this theme, than the 6 natural/traditional elements if it comes down to it.
  13. I am more interested in the culture and setting that takes place in the original Bionicle Universe than anything else. Because I usually like to build off of LEGO's story foundation and create my own scenarios from there. Sort of like what LEGO has done with past themes, such as Alpha Team, LEGO Island, and City. I think 2001-2003 & 2004-2005's culture was told well (probably due to the promos, novels, and games. Such as MNOG). I wished we could of got a more in-depth culture for 2006-2010. It was pretty brief, and it didn't have that same 'umph' that the previous had. However, what makes 2006-2010 unique, was the setting and where it takes place. For example, it would take in the Abyss (2007), High Peaks (2008), and Apocalyptic (2009). Where I am getting at is that is that maybe we could get another unique environmental setting where the Bionicle Reboot could take place. That way, it wouldn't be so generic and boring. But don't forget to go in-depth of the matoran culture! Such explorable environments could on Space Travel (like Destiny game), Pure Underground (like City of Ember book), and/or Techno-Cyberpunk-Tron-like Neon World (like Far Cry: Blood Dragon). If we get a Techno-like environment some point in the Bionicle Reboot, that would be awesome! Can you imagine? Neon, see through, and glow-in-the-dark Bionicle pieces! That could give LEGO an excuse to use purple pieces in their sets! Sure, we could get another generic island environment where the story could take place in. But where's the fun in that?
