Duly, duly noted on the posting tips Edit to Main Post: Done and done

This MOC is a Combiner of the sets 8739 Hordika Onewa and 8910 Mahri Kongu. It has not been named as I am terrible at naming things. Name it yourself if you want to + = Sorry for the large images, I am still new to photo editing. Anyways, this is the creature's passive stance (click for larger): | | Foraging: | Attacking: | Berserk Mode: | | Description: Firstly, this creature is normally passive, but can be extremely dangerous if provoked, with two stages of aggression: Aggressive Mode and Berserk Mode Aggressive Mode: Raises tail and deploys its blaster-arms, leaning forward with front limbs supporting itself and also at the ready to strike. Can fire explosive projectiles from blaster-arms, shoot streams of electrified energy from the tip of its tail, and pack a powerful punch with its forearms. Berserk Mode: This mode is utilized in desperation. Separates into two beings and splits up; the head section burrows underground for an ambush while the torso section wildly and recklessly attacks the opposition with lightning-fast moves and brute force. Head section creates diversions, surprise attacks, and overall tries to disarm or otherwise immobilize the target. Torso section gains a speed and strength boost and becomes incredibly flexible and agile as it is lighter; can fire explosive projectiles from arms, hit with explosive punches, and fire streams of energy from its "head". When attacking, the pair try to surround the enemy from both sides. This creature is actually two co-existing with each other in a symbiotic relationship; the head section can consume its food and share the energy it gains with its torso, but cannot move well on its own. The torso section enables the two to move and travel, but cannot consume food. Therefore, if the two are separated, they will die shortly after, which is why they work so hard to protect each other. Fighting Example: Berserk Mode v. Lhikan

Wow this is truly an awesome MOC. I love the building techniques used here! I only wish I had the heart to tear apart my models to build stuff like this

The symbol had a much bigger part in the old BIONICLE's identity than the virtues themselves ever did. And frankly, the symbol's meaning was pretty specific to the identity of the old BIONICLE theme by the end, considering its relevance to the destiny of the great spirit Mata Nui. So I would not mind one bit if the new BIONICLE avoided that particular symbol and instead sought to carve out its own identity.I'm guessing the same applies to the Matoran language glyphs? Do you see any Matoran? *Reads**Facepalms at self*

Do you guys think the whole "Unity, Duty, Destiny" slogan and it's symbol will be in the new universe? I mean, it was basically the identity of Bionicle in a sense and it wouldn't be confusing or screw up Lego's new approach to marketing

I would love to see Kakamas (if they're even called that anymore) in every color. Especially blue & green. And silver. Does this answer your question? https://mobile.twitter.com/BZP_Tweets/media/grid?idx=6&tid=520354478932115456 (Can't properly post pictures; on my phone )

It seems they are trying unnecessarily hard to push the new functions, them being a bit exaggerated in the descriptions. I do understand why though. Gotta market to the target

I'd just like to point out a few things about the new generation and how masks work there based on what we know so far: 1. The masks in this universe are just normal masks, as far as we have been told 2. The only masks of power in this universe so far are the golden masks forged from the elements, each with a different element as the mask's power, so nothing special like super speed or x-ray vision 3. The masks are not confirmed as being called Kanohi and most likely will not be due to the fact that Lego is trying to keep terms simpler and less confusing this time for a younger generation That said, we should limit list contents and specifications to Kanohi from the old universe only until we find out more information about masks in the new universe. Another thing: I am sorry for not updating the list per all the recent suggestions as I have been sidetracked by the re-release. I need to compile all of the suggestions and sort out conflictions with them so I can update the list, so I hope to get it updated soon. Thanks for all the contribution so far!

Yes! Absolutely feel ecstatic at the return of Technic funcionality! To me the integration of the Technic system with flexibility was really the heart and soul to the whole theme, second to the story and characters, of course

Just watched the Bionicle panel, and what the speaker saI'd about "Easter eggs" in the slide show peaked my interest. If anybody finds an Easter egg, post it here:http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/15180-bionicle-2015-easter-eggs/

Welcome to the great Bionicle 2015 Easter Egg hunt! At the Bionicle panel of New York Comic Con, the speaker at the end of the slide show revealed that the various pictures and concept art featured in the presentation contained "Easter Eggs" for us older fans with well trained eyes to find. For the curious bunch of you who so chose to go on this "hunt", post finds here!

Uh..... you do realize this is a knockoff right? I think he was attempting at sarcasm (hopefully)

So is the Bionicle booth and panel done for NYCCC? Or will there be more info later?

If you don't like it so badly then why don't you make a forum topic about it for anyone who has complaints about 2015?

Woot! Just snagged a clear NYCCC hau from eBay for $80!

Based on what BZPower tweeted, it seems that the winners of the contest yesterday were notified already

Sorry, I've just been waiting so long to use this (I mean no harm)

Well if you look back to the actual design of the Vahi, it stands apart from the other Kanohi at the time because it was not designed as a full mask like the others, and the fact that the Vahi was mentioned by TLG (I think; just going from memory here) at NYCCC, us fans theorize that there could in fact be a top half to the Mask of Time. Plus, it was hinted at by TLG according to TTV.

About the masks, my evaluation of them is that it seems the ones the Toa wear or masks in general are powerless as there is no official information concerning that they do, aside from the MoUP. However, the promotional video did say that the Mask Makers forged Masks of Power from the Elements, which could tell us one of either two things: one, that the masks the Toa wear are actually the source of their elemental power or two, that the gold masks are actually masks that do have powers and those are what the Toa are actually looking for. I suspect the latter. Also, an appearance of a second half the Vahi in this universe and having it be a link between the "Maraverse" and the "Nuvaverse" would be amazing! But of course that is all speculation now

If not all at once, if available, then my first selection would probably be either Tahu or Pohatu. I plan on getting 3 of each, anyway

Oh ok, gotcha! I should have done my homework first

So I was browsing eBay to enhance my Bionicle collection and this popped up: THIS IS BLASPHEMY

Do you guys think these new sets will be bagged like HF or in canisters like the original? I prefer the latter, to be honest, but I think the bags seem a bit more cost-effective.

My plans for the new sets: buy 3 of everything 1. One set to keep built for my collection 2. One set to keep sealed NIB forever 3. One set strictly for pieces to use creatively ... and in the darkness bind them. lol
