They were finally within sight of the cave that would liberate them from their universe and Teridax’s tyranny. Since his coup, each moment had been a nightmare. Ordinarily, the villagers would have relied upon Turaga Viidenz’s Mask of Clairvoyance for guidance, but to their horror, no visions came. The Matoran had almost given up hope until Prothotix had wandered into their village a week ago. The villagers, under normal circumstances, were wary of outsiders, but when they had learned that their fellow Matoran was a seer whose visions had shown him an escape route, they gladly put all their doubts aside.“Come on,” urged Prothotix, “We’re almost there!”The group surged forward. The cave was only a few yards off now--They came to an abrupt halt as a band of Skakdi emerged from all sides.“Keep back, little ones!” shouted the Turaga as he fearlessly attempted to shepherd the Matoran behind him, although they were hopelessly outmatched. Prothotix, however, strode forward to join the Skakdi.“Prothotix,” Viidenz demanded, “what is the meaning of this?”“You fool!” scoffed one of the Skakdi. “He’s a con artist, not a seer!”“Afraid so,” confirmed a smirking Prothotix. “And when your passage to salvation is guarded by a horde of cannibal Skakdi, you offer them whatever they want.”He strode away. “Forgive my lack of compassion,” he called over his shoulder, “but it’s ill advised in my line of work.”“Prothotix!” The Matoran looked back as the Turaga’s commanding voice rang out behind him. Viidenz stared at him grimly, his mask glowing. “Beware the armored demons in the waste.”Prothotix laughed and walked away. “Your visions are meaningless now, Turaga!” He weaved his way through the cave and into the sunlit desert on the other side. Pleased with how well his scheme had worked, he smiled, and began looking for some sign of civilization, yet found none.As he stopped to scan the horizon, he saw three shapes to the West. It was hard to make them out, but they appeared to be Toa. Encouraged, Prothotix began to run in their direction. As he drew closer, the shapes became clearer. Although they looked like Toa, he could now see that they weren’t. He slowed his pace as he noticed one of the figures was covered in spiked, blue armor. The Turaga’s prophecy suddenly came back to him. He’d brushed it off as just a lie to frighten him, but Viidenz couldn’t lie while having a vision . . . could he? Prothotix began to run eastward, hoping he’d gone unnoticed. To his dismay, the three beings were pointing in his direction. Terrified, he broke into a sprint, but as the beings did the same, he realized he couldn’t outrun them. His pursuers were shouting now, and he shut his eyes as fear consumed his mind completely.Suddenly, he felt the ground vanish beneath his feet, opened his eyes, and screamed as he went hurtling from a cliff.The “armored demons” stopped at the edge of the cliff and looked down at Prothotix’s broken body.“Why did he run?” asked Tarix the Glatorian in dismay. “Couldn’t he see we were just trying to help him?”***Prothotix laughed and walked away. “Your visions are meaningless now, Turaga!”“Turaga?” Viidenz turned to one his frightened Matoran as the power of his mask faded away. “What did you see?”“Oh, nothing little one.” Viidenz smiled and put his arm around him, watching his “prophecy” lead their betrayer to his doom.“Nothing at all.”

This could be pretty cool. Just so long as they don't get some talentless hack like Michael Bay to direct this, it should do fine, but after seeing what happened with Transformers, I'm a little wary of having anyone other than LEGO having any control over a great franchise like this while bringing it to the big screen. Oh well. I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed and hope that this ends up being awesome and does justice to the source material.~Kodan~

Whoa... This stuff is so awesome. It seems like this should be great inspiration for writers and Mocists alike. Can't wait to see more of his work. ~Kodan~

These heroes seem to be a perplexing blend of greatness and disappointment: awesome new armor and other pieces, but the apparent choice to go back to the older Glatorion heads doesn't seem, to me, to be a step in the right direction. As much as liked the original helmets, I would have preferred to see them adapted to the 2.0 heads rather than taking a step backwards and making the 2.0 and 3.0 helmets incompatible.No complaints about those villains though ...~Kodan~

Whoa, this thing looks awesome... Nice use of the white HF armor for the toes. It might look a little better if there was more HF armor on the body itself, particularly the sides, to keep things looking a bit smoother and cohesive, but other than that this looks flawless! ~Kodan~
