Oh sheesh, where to begin.Story-wise, anything after Metru-Nui just... didn't fit for me. The parts were cool, yes, but things just seemed to go absolutely crazy for me. Toa, fighting for their lives and the fate of the universe - oh no wait let's mess around with piraka beasts, squid monsters, and gladiators! (The parts were decent, but that's all i'm giving them. I don't really like the new head style though.)...Gah. I just don't think they should have gone past Voya Nui. Mahri was cool, yes, but things just got a bit strange there. I mean, it was cool how there was suddenly six enemies, one for each toa, in Voya Nui (Kal and Vahki don't count since there were more than just one of each, at least according to the Bionicle Game) but... I think they were starting to go a bit far with trying to get 'launcher' parts. Do people really want kids flicking around little projectiles? And you know that almost every kid disregards that little thing on the back that says 'do not launch at people'. I'm not trying to get all 'mreh mreh kid safety', but i nearly accidentally smacked my sister in the eye with a Zamor sphere back in the day. Plus those launchers were just so fiddly, and i actually literally built a custom little thing at the top of my zamor sphere case (that thing that holds four zamor on top of the launcher) just so they wouldn't pop out whenever i tried to fire. And, both the squid launcher and that whatever-it's-called gatling gun, er, gun, well, they were both really fiddly, the squid launcher i could launch but it just got stuck more of the time. The Cordak Launcher ( At least, that's what i think it's called) could fire, but it just didn't seem right when it did, and it left something to be desired. Plus, the little bullet things got stuck in their slots too often and i could never get them out. (Which is wierd, since i found one or two of my cordak launchers nowadays and i can't find the boolets anywhere.) Aside from the launchers, i honestly loved Voya Nui. The VNOG was fun, the little freetheband games were fun, Bionicle Heroes was fun, all the parts were amazing......Mahri nui just seemed really over-hyped. The games were really bad, and either click-and-point target practice or really weird platformers (I'm talking about you, Matoro. Many times have i somehow gotten stuck in a boulder i'm supposed to push.) The sets were okay, but some things just seemed left to be desired. They looked a bit too much like soldiers or something for my liking. Hahli was probably the only one i liked at this point. (I somehow ended up with two Hahli Mahri sets, actually - hooray, i have two claw pieces.) The main thing that i even liked about this was the videos. They were dynamic and had neat effects, but other than that it seemed really strange....Don't get me started on Glatorians.Are you sure? Here goes...Whoaaa! Now there's gladiators! Now there's a little game you play!But there isn't!Now there is!What's going on?You always miscount that silly little life counter on the back!Thornax always seemed to slip out of their launchers for me...The story was okay for each village, but the whole giant-robots mata-nui himself getting there was really strange to me. Aside from explaining the origins of each village, the rest of the story pretty much confused me. I did, however, absolutely hate the new head pieces. I still do. No backwards compatible helmets! Nope. Nah-ah. No way. Just helmets. For one line of sets....Ugh. At least you can backwards compatible the metru head masks onto the Mata heads to an extent, and vice-versa to an extent.And with the whole robot-fighting story... How is a moon supposed to kill a giant robot that literally CREATED the moons and is supposed to be bigger than anything?And then there's Phantoka/Mistika...I never really understood it.Jetpacks!Vehicles!Pump blasters!Silver ball launchers that are OBVIOUSLY not zamor ripoffs!It was extremely hard to follow the story, and the minigames were just horrible to me.Plus... Hero Factory? To me? Rescue heroes, but you build them.Hero factory.Rescue Heroes.See the likeness, anyone?/end rant

I like it! The way you used a wheel part for the Unown is quite interesting, and there are some neat pieces that i don't see too often on the Volcarona. Nice job!

Just give me the blasted gear-shaped currency.

Spinning, i'd say.

I can't, i don't even have Arga's sprites.

Meanwhile...Leraku vs Argaraffe in a spinny-wheely-office-chair contest!

Too bad. I have a secret that prevents that ad infinitum.Plot. If suddenly lera went soul-poof, plots would be ruined.And you don't want that.Bwa-ha-ha -Oh look, rockets!

nope not bettin' that i don't mess around with souls buddy

I'll bet you a thousand widgets that it doesn't blow up the attic, just for sport.

I could have sworn it was obvious enough - Utah blasted Justax into the air, who landed nearby Joe.

Model rockets? I don't need models. I can get to the moon with or without rockets.would you like to see the pictures i didn't think so well the camera sort of imploded for some reason up there

JK: Slowly approach JoeKJ: Oh hey, Justax. When did you get here?You fail miserably.What now?EDIT: From here on out, to keep things at least a little easier to clarify, BZ-Universe [u1] will be in Xanis, Virtual Universe [u2] will be in Chimoru.

Leraku's powers are not specifically telepathic - He can range from completely obliterating anything in his path with raw energy, to a focused blast. I'm hoping you've seen Ler's power demonstrations in D3, as an example.

Lightsaber vs Psionic power - that would be interesting, wouldn't it? Outcome seems a bit one-sided though.

Slow claps to you, my friend.Edit: Woops! Accidentally clicked the post button before finishing. Give me a sec...I think it looks great, though the 'fins' on the head of the Avohkii are a bit... strange, i'd suggest working on those.

A pair of matoran waits in the desert - for their friend to return, or some guidance from their conscience that has guided them thus far.UT: ...-JK: I wonder when Joe's going to get ba-UT: THAT'S IT. I've had enough.JK: What? You can talk?UT: Yes! This entire time.UT: I am sick and tired of being cut off all the time!UT: It's like some sort of... running gag!JK: Wait a second, what are you-UT: If you're so concerned with what Joe's up to...UT: Why not go and say hello?UT: I'll help.Now what?

You cannot best Leraku at being menacing.He is simply the best there is.Of course, this is being said in character context.

Oh, i know that look in 'my' eyes.He could only be thinking of how much he is trying to keep himself from 'stabstabstabstabstabstab'.

I'm not sure, but i may switch back to using Chimoru - Xanis is good, but, the resizing is fairly difficult - and the less shading just seems a bit strange to me. Four-shade isn't something i'm used to.

This is also seen in my basic animations. Since it's not super-long at all, Microsoft GIF animator does the job and keeps the filesize down, so i don't need a flash document. (Plus, i'm not exactly experienced with sprite-based flash animation... yet.) The side effect of GIF animator is that it makes the files animated GIFs - losing the normal quality of .png files.Also, did anyone notice the subtle pun in the comic?

I have no idea why, but this idea has been bugging me all day, so i decided to make it. Something to do in my spare time since i'm sick, i guess. Tah dah. LER EDIT: Whoops. It was late in the evening and i was really tired [what with me being sick... again] so it seems i forgot the speech bubble in the animation, as well as the second panel.

I had no plan on any of that really, this is basically just windrider disliking all of those stupid flies and bees that buzz around in the middle of summer when you're just trying to like, take a walk or something.

Hoo boy. That's brutal. I still don't know what that sprite kit is [or how to get it for that matter] but i still think it's very robotic appearance fits for that sort of treatment.

Leraku's mask actually has a visor of sorts inside it, and it is mostly clear - each side is just tinted very lightly, so the blue side looks light, light whitish blue, and the other side looks like a very light whitish red. His eyes are that color in that form, and as such they glow.

yeah. i hate themOutside wouldn't necessarily mean just nearby the building. They could still fly around the spray and not land where it is - Leraku likes to get away from the building outside, out in the grass. That is what i am referring to.
