CaT in Rogue

...Probably because he's a member of their forums? What's your problem? The Kaita model's neat, but yeah, it's basically just a Kaita with black parts. It works, but I don't know if it's particularly unique. It would've been nice to see some pictures of his original build.

Not sure how those two pictures prove your point. In my opinion, Okoto is much more detailed and visually interesting than Mata Nui ever was. As for the other stuff, my general view of it is this: G2's sets are much better than G1's, but G1's story was much more fleshed out. It basically comes down to whether your value the toys or the story more, and seeing as how Bionicle is a toyline, I personally prefer G2. Of course, story is still important to me, and while we haven't gotten as much as I'd hoped for, we've still gotten a decent amount of material out of G2. Heck, I remember back when everybody was wishing upon a star that Bionicle would get a TV show, and now it's getting one! That's amazing! So, yeah, is G2 a money grab? Yeah, so was G1. Are G2's 'Protector' toys lazy? If by 'lazy' you mean 'a marked improvement over anything we got in G1'. Is G2's story cheap? Not really, it's just short. Basically, no, I don't feel 'Bionicle G2' is just a cheap gimmick. It has its priorities in different places, but being different doesn't automatically make it bad.

Well, it's good to see that you have humility, Powermaster The Eviscerator. The amount of fun, creativity, and expertise with which you build must be of the highest caliber.

Preeeetty sure Kalmah's name comes from Calimari, AKA squid. Because he is a squid. Unless Lego suddenly hired Hirohiko Araki, I don't think they're very big on music references.

>New Bionicle game >Oh, sweet. >Not available in the US

Scrap 'em for parts and start a'MoCing! Of course, I keep every instruction manual I've ever gotten, so I can put the original sets back together whenever I want.

Wings brah. (Plus the fire creature can perch on things like an actual bird and I think that's adorable.)

This one was from when we didn't know if Kopaka was showing up in 2016 or not.

Dang son, three at once? You made of money? Anyways, the only set I've gotten more than one of is Onua 2015, simply because purple parts are so rare. (Well, and I like his design.)

Ah heck, this is exactly my kinda thing. Books with trivia and details on fictional creatures like this are friggin awesome.

Gali is the Toa of Water; areas such as deserts weaken her Tahu is the Toa of Fire; water weakens him Kopaka is the Toa of Ice; fire weakens him Onua has very sensitive vision; bright light can damage his eyes The disc doesn't specify anything about Lewa or Pohatu Oh. The way you worded it made it sound like being exposed to their literal opposite elements would weaken them all equally. As far as stuff like this goes, it does get brought up occasionally, but it never really impacts the plot very much,

It did get brought up once or twice in the story, but the Toa were rarely in situations like that for too long. The only real example outside of 2001 I can think of would be Jaller in the Pit, but he was mutated by the Mask of Life to be a water creature, so it probably wouldn't affect him anyway. Actually, come to think of it, how would that work, anyways? If a Toa of Water stood on a rock for too long, would that happen? Would Toa of Air be weakened by walking? Would Toa of Earth be weakened by breathing? And what about all the side elements without any clear opposites? Do they just not have that weakness? Okay, come to think of it, I doubt this actually is canon, considering that it would make for some really stupid weaknesses.

Holy butts, I love this. The scaling is perfect.

Yeah, my opinion on this guy changed with the review too. I'll have to pick him up when I can!

Eh, might as well.

>Implying that you need any color other than GLORIOUS PURPLE

Cool MoC. I'm guessing it was based on Giant Centipedes.

Oh thank goodness, it's not terrible. Dunno if you could call it super great, but it works fine. I guess the PR people are just bad at making trailers.

Or maybe they just expect kids ages 7–14 to have a better sense of humor than the typical BZPower member. It's a cartoon, people. Let's not forget how downright goofy the original Ninjago TV special and webisodes in 2011 were ("This rock is shaped like a donut! I wonder if it TASTES like a donut!"). Even this year's Ninjago webisodes with Master Chen and Clouse were pure slapstick. But today, Ninjago is one of the most beloved LEGO storylines out there. A series doesn't have to take itself completely seriously to be entertaining. Of course it doesn't have to take itself seriously. I love comedy as a genre, but most of the trailer isn't comedy, it's just talking more about the (IMO incredibly cliche) story. There was like one joke in that entire thing, and to their credit, it was legitimately humorous, but you can't just say 'good because goofy'. Ninjago had a sense of lore and mystery to it from the beginning, while this just kinda feels...I dunno, empty. I guess I'll hold further judgement until we get new material, but it just seems like they aren't trying as hard with this one.

This is supposed to be a trailer for Lego Duplo, right? They don't think the average kid is actually this stupid, right? Right?

Wait, so they moved the gear functions...to their butts? Uh... UUUHHHHHH Other than that...questionableness, these all look pretty great!

We did. It wasn't that impressive. Was it just a combiner or did it have a set to? I wish we got to see more of fenrahk I forget what happened to him after he became the dragon it kinda just jumps to some how vezon was unchained to it and left? It came out back when Bionicle was releasing combiner sets, so yeah, it was both a combiner and its own set. To answer your second question, after it was freed from the Ignika, it emerged onto Voya Nui, fought the Tahtorak, then fled to Mata Nui, where it battled Bohrok and promptly got its butt handed to it on a silver platter. Gali found it and healed it, after which it headed to Metru Nui, got defeated by the remaining Toa Mahri, and was placed into the Archives. After Makuta fought Mata Nui, it was evacuated with everything else from the archives and presumably spends its days getting into more stupid fights.

We did. It wasn't that impressive.

Man, with their track record for Bionicle movies, I'm not sure I want them making another one. On the other hand, pretty much every Lego movie before The Lego Movie sucked, so they might be able to pull it off nowadays, I don't know. To answer your question, I think the main thing would be somehow proving that Bionicle has a large enough fanbase to draw in a profitable movie audience. I know most kids have probably heard of Bionicle, but I don't know how many would actually go see a movie about it.
