If the way Hero Factory heroes went and the shift from "Matoran-sounding" words to more generic names like "Masters" and "Skull Basher" etc is anything to go by, I have a feeling we'll be sticking with these Masters through the whole line. I mean Ekimu is proof they're not afraid to add new named characters but Greg's name lists getting approved by legal toward the end of G1 made it pretty clear Lego wanted to shy away from name-based liabilities (e.g. the Naming Day incident). But yeah what I'm saying is I think Hero Factory's format of fire-themed Furno 2.0, (ahem) furry-themed Furno 3.0, cop-themed Furno 4.0, etc is likely to be carried over into Bionicle. We get the 2015 Masters to fight the Skull Guys, and we'll get, say, digging Tahu for some underground monsters, flying Tahu for some sky monsters, etc.

i mean it's possible he bought/found/made the cape but i think it'd be better if he was just created this way. like vezok looks at his un-fused clone and just KNOWS this guy has gotta be evil because he's got this creepy cape. it'd also be pretty funny if the cape was part of his mask of life mutation. as if being permanently attached to a cursed mask wasn't enough, now he's got a flesh-cape growing out of his back

is the dream of the 90's truly alive there?

i disagree, it's totally orangish red

Aries: Tahu Taurus: Tuma Gemini: Vezon Cancer: Vakama Leo: Toa Ignika Virgo: Roodaka Libra: Axonn Scorpio: Zaktan Sagittarius: Matau Capricorn: Onua Aquarius: Tuyet Pisces: Nokama Who are you? :U

im on marlboro and my name is vestia khrusos what if there was a bionicle company

Onua is in clearance in Chicago area Targets, Gali is nowhere to be found.

bravely default had the coolest jobs. merchant, valkyrie, time mage, spell fencer, dark knight were all pretty unprecedented in FF-style rpgs. so im naturally super hyped for the new jobs

I honestly really dislike Basher. they all have a sort of bare look without the armor but Basher has a weird patchwork of heavily armored and complete lack of armor. no flow whatsoever. Plus the horns are kind of wonky. im not too fond of Slicer either but at least he commits to the slender look (ew@ no armor though) Warrior is pretty cool imo, he rocks the uneven look unlike Basher on account of the asymmetry. i'd go Grinder vs Ekimu because of Ekimu alone but im not sold on Grinder

pohatu phantoka is the best canister bionicle

the piraka called him big daddy

it's cool guy!

it's good guy!

i was so bummed to hear civil war, my favorite arc, was getting adapted as a captain america film with spidey not included in the MCU. don't get me wrong a miles movie is one of the things i want to see the most, but pete being a possibility for civil war is a dream come true im on the donald glover train honestly, i know its cliche but hes been my dream casting for peter parker since all that noise about it happened a year or two ago edit @ pomegranite: im a huge sucker for the maguire trilogy im not even gonna lie i used to fantasize about miles appearing in the amazing universe, andrew garfield's peter dying, and tobey universe hopping for a spider-men film

the five minute delusion that i could make a nidkhiki moc with no parts or experience was fun while it lasted

sorry, no WIPs or anything so, i thought about my favorite characters... lhikan, toa inika, krahka, takanuva, pohatu.......... all great but also all humanoid. i considered some sets with interesting builds but im nowhere near experienced enough to pull off a fenrakk or gahdok or nivawk SO I DECIDED ON NIDHIKI! unfortunately, the only ccbs sets i own are bulk 3.0 and tahu. which makes me a little short on green pieces. you know. THE ECONOMY. this gives me a little less than a week to whip together something in ldd (assuming it still supports ccbs??) and get some hot new parts from bricklink. possible? who knows. concerns? i dont want to rehash the vahki head but instead use a custom ccbs build. this will probably prove a little problematic because the kanoka disk is very important to his design imo. also im a newbie to ccbs. ive never claimed to be... "GOOD" at mocing at all, but at least technic is familiar territory let the stupidity begin

youre one of the few who has drawn gadunka fan art apparently. gadunka is too good for this world. beautiful cinnamon roll. too pure

mods are asleep post gadunka

Bulk from Savage Planet I never really got into HF

It happened around the era of "pirates vs ninjas" .....yeeeeeeahh It was originally Cap'n Kopaka (sorta like Cap'n Crunch) but then it got shortened to my nickname.

Fast forward a few years

I think a big part of why it seems less busy is there's not as much to talk about. Love or hate the convoluted end of G1 there was just. So much stuff to talk about. I'm loving G2 so far but G1 had new books, new serials, new films, and all sorts of new content to theorize and make creative works based around. That and G2 hasn't had much time to pick up momentum yet. Time will tell if it will reach the cult popularity Bionicle had around '08.

AKT I/ /WELTSCHMERZ It was difficult to discern their surroundings as they rocketed through the Koro at breakneck speed, but before long Sephra was able to identify one thing: she was far from home. As the colorful streaks of muddy brown turned gray and eventually silver, Kalii slowed down enough for Sephra to observe the Metru up close. Aside from the sight of plentiful vehicles not unlike Kalii's cruiser the Matoran seemed to clip along at an equal pace. Not to say the duty-bound Koro Matoran spent much time stopping and smelling the roses, the Metru Matoran moved... differently. With extreme precision and purpose. What this purpose could possibly be was a mystery to Sephra. All she knew about Metru industry was it focused far less on day-to-day survival and more on "bigger picture stuff," or so citizens of the Koro always said. In fact it wouldn't be an exaggeration to concede the one biggest stereotype regarding Metru Matoran was they were a city of pencil-pushing stuffed shirts. Sephra spent a good deal of time watching the silver and white clad Matoran go about their nebulous business to stave away the motion sickness until they finally slowed to a stop. "And here it is," said Kalii, "the Wunder Establishment, home of the honorable, resolute Turaga Ennui." The sarcasm was so evident in Kalii's voice Sephra noted that a pile of bricks could probably detect it. "But you will have to let go sometime soon." As if knocked out of a trance Sephra realized that her body was still petrified in fear. She loosened her grip around Kalii and all the armor in her body creaked. "It's midday so Maker knows they'll be so busy." And what was that supposed to mean, Sephra wondered this time, thinking again of the pile of bricks threatened to crumble beneath the Toa's verbal beatdown. Kalii deftly flicked the kickstand in place and gestured for Sephra to follow her. The building that stood in front of them was constructed entirely of a metallic white stone that shone drably in the sun. The enormous double doors stood propped open at the summit of a mountainous set of stairs. Sephra's eyes wandered from the steps back to the rigid clockwork of Matoran who walked to and fro to...where, exactly? "Anyway this is the Wunder Establishment. Fälsch's technology center, the pride and joy of the Metru. Et cetera, et cetera. The Koro is dotted with factories full of brilliant engineers of course, but this is where they work on...'bigger picture stuff.' Not to disparage their research of course. Spending all one's time in the Metru is enough to put vitriol in anyone's words. It's full of a sort of... boredom. A stale and listless air of industrialized living. What would you call that?" Kalii left no time for Sephra to offer a response. "No matter. Some cool stuff happens in here." Kalii continued to go on emphatically and Sephra's eyes started to wander again. The place was constructed of the same mausoleum-white rock on the inside, and Matoran flowed in and out like a stream. Unlike the familiar Booster Suit chamber, the place was filled with an uncanny silence. The height of the room suggested the clamor of armor should echo loudly but there was not a sound to be heard aside from Kalii's soliloquy. Kalii weaved around a stream of Matoran with the agility of a particularly skilled swimmer, continuing her speech uninterrupted, through a door, leaving Sephra in the silver-armored lurch. "Hey, wait up!" Sephra interjected. She pushed aside a group of Matoran to their obvious chagrin and followed Kalii through the huge archway. The Toa was already nowhere to be found. Sephra groaned loudly and bolted through a random doorway. She was greeted with a monolithic door marked with a single black word: WELTSCHMERZ Sephra was beyond doubtful that this was the correct way, but the odd word piqued her curiosity. It can't hurt to peek, Sephra thought, but when she reached out she realized the door was without a knob. She gave it an inquisitive push, and with a booming groan it moved. The door was heavy and immense, but Sephra paid it no heed. The air beyond was stale as a tomb. She peeked around the corner to confirm nobody had followed and slipped inside. The room was dark. This was the first thought that struck Sephra. Darker than a starless night. Perhaps it was her curiosity getting the better of her but it seemed to Sephra to be the darkest place she had ever been. She choked on the bitter air and realized for the first time she was somewhere she was not supposed to be. The place wasn't just dark but cold. Certainly not naturally cold. Something was working to refrigerate the room, a thought that led Sephra to her third realization. It wasn't quiet. The sound was quiet but evident, machines working in the background. Sephra took a tentative step into the room, letting her eyes adjust to the shadow. Just in time, she was greeted with the sight of a steep set of stairs down. I shouldn't be here, Sephra thought again, and the thought made the steps grow even more ominous yet even more alluring. And so she took another step forward. Before she could grasp what she was doing she was descending the stairway, going deeper into the cold and the dark. One word lingered in her mind: Weltschmerz. Weltschmerz, Weltschmerz, Weltschmerz. Just when she thought the room couldn't get colder, when she felt as though she were deeper than the seafloor, she reached the bottom. A metal floor that made a tinny, rattling sound when struck with her armored foot. Looming before her in the dark was a vault door covered in a complex-looking pattern of pipes, gears, and pistons. This is the end of the road, she realized. Her fingers yearned to twist the tremendous turn wheel, but instead she laid her palm on its metal surface. Ice cold. "I think you've seen enough," Kalii chortled from behind Sephra. Sephra thought she would leap out of her armor. "Toa Kalii... I can... I can explain... I..." "Sure, sure. You saw the big weird word and got curious. I'm not going to hold it against you. But the Turaga? They despise tardiness. Dare we face their fiery wrath by stalling even more?" Sephra thought of bricks. -------------------- [ REVIEW ]
