Actually, a denser atmosphere wouldn't necessarily lower cloud height. If we assume that AM air is just like Earth's, clouds begin to form when the air is cool enough to condense water, and cease to rise when the pressure is low enough to evaporate water. The added pressure would lower the minimum altitude, but also raise the maximum altitude.

Well, the fact that we now know they have metallic skeletons suggests a biomechanical composition...

Ekimu: Yes! The shield is cool, the mask is just what we needed, and the hammer is exactly as we've seen it. Grinder: Great! Awesome weapon and inventive shoulder design. Basher: Cool, but I'll wait to pass judgement until we know more about the function. Warrior: It's fine for what it is. Slicer: Wish its mask was at least a recolor. At least it has those cool swords; they'll make a nice upgrade for Kopaka's spear. Scorpio: Why... Also, those skeleton limbs better attach to something, or they'd be a complete waste of a mold in my opinion.

If you have classic-style Bionicle upper limbs, you can attach CCBS shells to them using a T-bar, like the piece that attaches Hydraxon's fingers.

Unless you remove or switch pieces.

IC Mahrika Gymnasium Open for Interaction There were no prospective opponents ready in the gym, so Mahrika was forced to practice solo. He summoned a row of dummies and swung his trident, knocking chunks out of each one and blocking imagined attacks. It took a few moments to get into the right rhythm; he hadn't fought in a while. Still, it wasn't the same as a real match.

Is Pyre in the gym? Because if so Mahrika's there and ready for a fight too.

I was wondering how you managed it! Personally I think the best Rahkshi head in LDD is the Arachnix Drone/Thornraxx's head.

There's no obstacle to electrical current flowing through a moving water stream, but in a geyser the water drops wouldn't be connected enough to allow a reasonably-powered current to jump between them.

IC Mahrika Gymnasium Mahrika felt... restless. There had been no major assignments recently, and going for swims around Rahkshi Island had lost its novelty long ago. He wanted a challenge. With this in mind, he opened the door to the gym, trident in hand, and scanned the room for a worthy opponent. His gaze passed over the silver Rahkshi he didn't know, crying probably over a lost fight.

You piece of LEGO. No Dajoks/Squid/Mahrika??

One big problem I just realized with the macromolecule model: molecules can be broken. If you found a way to react protodermis, it would cease to act like protodermis, and easily could be broken down into simpler substances.

idk something about them makes me think they're designed to be opponents of specific Toa (such as having their masks and sharing their associated translucent color) so I'd guess we're only seeing one of each. (of course that'd mean Gali has no opponent but since when did LEGO care about female characters lol) Maybe Gali saves Ekimu from the Skull Grinder.

So, all of them?

I second that idea. (I think the reason Mata Nui vs. Makuta didn't take off is because we already had a Takanuva vs. Makuta.)

Teridax underestimated the power of the Great Virus and Mata Nui began to die immediately. But Teridax had had no way of knowing this, since he was trapped in protodermis. When the Toa Metru returned to Metru Nui, they found conditions growing worse every day they were there. Vakama never betrayed the other Toa, since they knew no one would be able to survive in Metru Nui in a few weeks. After the Coliseum Battle, the Toa were surrounded by Visorak, led by Roodaka. They announced to her that the world was collapsing and that the Horde was doomed if it remained in the city. Roodaka ordered the Visorak to attack anyway, but instead they turned on her for leading them to their deaths. After the Toa were healed by Keetongu, Nokama spoke to the Visorak and arranged with them that they would take the Matoran spheres to Mata Nui while the Toa tried to save the universe. The Rahaga inform the Toa of the legendary Mask of Life hidden in the Southern Continent. Nuju reads the stars and learns that it has moved upwards, to the same world as Mata Nui. The Toa go there in an airship and meet Axonn and Brutaka, who are still united. They escort the Toa to the 777 stairs. The Toa make it to the Chamber of Life and defeat Fenrakk, taking the mask. The mask allows Whenua to take it, and they return to the surface, where Axonn explains that the mask requires a sacrifice, and that it has chosen Whenua. After the Toa evacuate the Matoran of Voya Nui into the caves, Whenua travels through an Olmak portal to Karda Nui, where he is sacrificed to save Mata Nui. Axonn and Brutaka return with the Toa to Mata Nui. They return the Matoran to Metru Nui, and Axonn uses his energy power to awaken them. They have not yet been diminished or lost their memories. Botar sends Teridax, still caged, to the Pit. Axonn explains that for Mata Nui to awaken, a destined team of legendary Toa must arrive, but they seem to have been waylaid. The Toa try to keep from the Matoran that they have no way of knowing when or if the new Toa will arrive, but word leaks out and a Matoran sets out to find them. He sneaks off to Mata Nui, finds the six Toa Stones and gathers them together, summoning the Toa Mata. The Toa Mata are given their tasks by Axonn. They awaken the Bohrok, DON'T kill the Visorak (seriously, why?), and go to Artakha. But when they get to Karda Nui, the entire Brotherhood and its army is waiting for them. The Toa are captured and given infected masks, then brought to the Pit and forced to free Teridax with their elemental powers. The infected Toa are then sacrificed to reawaken Mata Nui, allowing Teridax to take over. Mata Nui is banished to Bara Magna, where he finds a peaceful land divided into five tribes. Using information from the Great Beings' laboratory, he rediscovers his purpose and re-powers the prototype titan robot. Teridax fights him and almost wins, but Vakama uses the Mask of Time to slow down the entire Matoran Universe long enough for Makuta to get hit by a moon fragment and die. Mata Nui fixes Spherus Magna, the end.

The Zivon. The inhabitants of a different pocket dimension, also found in the main universe.

Hmm, I think the problem is that Turaga aren't more intelligent than Toa, but more experienced, wise and mature. All three of those are character traits that don't really tie into our stat system. As for a penalty to Toa fighting Matoran of their own tribe, that seems like leaning too heavily on stats to do what character and story could do more efficiently. What if the Toa hates their tribe? What if they know the Matoran is really evil? What if it's not a Matoran at all, but a Vortixx they were once close friends with? I think that if a character would reasonably hesitate to attack someone, it's their player's responsibility to make them hesitate.

Oh no, I'm totally aware that there's no known way protons could theoretically shift in number. But our model has to start somewhere, doesn't it? And why wouldn't it be a catalyst? If matter were exposed to it, it would be exposed to essentially infinite different microenvironments per second, which could cause the matter to undergo every possible reaction with itself simultaneously. The reactions that raised the entropy, in other words, those that broke down the matter, would be favored. About the transformations, I stated in my post that if some outside force were to properly arrange the protodermis, it could be used to transform almost anything into almost anything else, with the necessary atomic material. If protodermis is a macromolecule, though, how would you say that would work?

Actually plasma can be cool, even stable at room temperature. Look up non-thermal plasma.

Very cool design! Reminds me a little of the Predator.

It's so cool! I love its terrifying face.

No I was not. I was talking about what people who have genuinely seen the sets say about them.

Ok, this might sound crazy, but I have an idea for what protodermis might be: Atoms with an uncertain number of protons. By this, I mean that the number of protons in these atoms is not a whole number over any period of time, and the number can only be defined if the protons are directly observed, similar to the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle. Let's worry about how uncertain proton numbers might be possible later. So what would be the properties of such a substance? Well, it couldn't be solid, because with a varying nucleus electron attraction would also vary, preventing rigid bonds from forming. Most likely it would be liquid, due to its constant bonding and re-bonding with itself. Electrons would flow between all atoms due to the changing charges of the nuclei, so it would be very conductive and probably metallic in appearance. So far, so good! And due to being able to form any bond imaginable, it would be very, very reactive. Most likely any substance it touched would be broken into atoms and ions very quickly--in other words, totally destroyed. But it would also make a shockingly effective catalyst, if only you could get its reactions to all cooperate and work towards a unified goal. Evidence of a higher power directing the "mutations?" As for its stable forms, my guess would be that the Great Beings determined a way to make its proton number not static, but predictable; as in, protodermis with this many protons 20% of the time and this many 80% of the time is a solid that behaves like metal, for example. The impurities in most stable protodermis could be explained as "rogue" atoms with the incorrect proton number frequencies for that material. Perhaps stabilized protodermis constantly tends to return to its energized state, and requires periodic filtering for the correct frequencies to prevent it.

How is mentioning the summer sets leaked content? People have been shown them in real life, by Lego, that makes them ok to discuss, doesn't it?
