MoarBotar

Young Turaga Nuva: "Wait, isn't the island Mata Nui?" Intern working for Lego: *hiding in the bushes, pulls out walkie talkie* "The boy knows too much. Get the chloroform."

Kapura. His plan was to make himself powerful enough to wield the stones, then collect them and use them to destroy the barriers between dimensions, lay waste to all life, and become supreme overlord of all things and a deity to the select few whom he allowed to survive. "I now know the secret art of traveling great distances by moving very slowly." He very slowly uses the Space Stone. When the sky starts to crack, you know Kapura's coming. K in all seriousness, if it's a matter of who could USE the stones, Axonn without a doubt. Part of the difficulty of using the stones is ignoring the pain long enough to concentrate. One of my favorite moments in the Bionicle canon was in Inferno when Axonn realized than Brutaka couldn't be reasoned with and knocked him out right before Botar picked him up. Axonn DEFINITELY has a strong enough WILL to use the stones, it's just a matter of if he could survive. I feel like if he would be the type to grab the gauntlet while everyone else was arguing about who should do it (provided there was no one around who could survive using it), put that sucker on, use it to bring about the greatest good, and nearly kill himself the process.

As I understand it, they're more referred to as secondary elements in the sense of commonality/frequency of occurrence. There just happens to be, for whatever reason (well, technically the Great Beings picked them I guess when you look at the MU), a really, really, really high population among the six common elements relative to the others. But I kinda see what you're saying-iron/earth makes sense and air/jungle (pardon me, THE GREEN) have always been very closely related. Perhaps there could be an element of overlap between the elements? I vaguely remember Tahu or some other Toa of fire drawing all the heat out of an object or an area to freeze it (even if I totally made that up, it seems plausible I think). I straight up don't even care what anyone says, from now on this is the canon definition of Plasma. If Greg Farshtey and god both appeared in my room right now and told me this definition was wrong, I'd fight them. I salute you Sir Kek

I agree. As a kid, I loved the goofiness (I idolized Toa Metru Matau), but there is a time and a place for this sort of thing. I think it also helped inform Lewa's character a bit especially in the movie. Yes, the actual words and phrases were unnecessary, but the delivery and structure I felt gave an added element of depth and complexity to his character and culture. When done poorly, treespeak was annoying. When done right, treespeak was great.

This feels like the makings of a really cool project! I agree, the errors were unfortunate. I remember as a kid checking the comics out of my library over and over because I loved them so much, but I also had to reread them sometimes because of the speech bubble errors. Why just the other day I was skimming through the first few pages of a comic just to check out a particular detail and just with that alone I noticed at least two misplaced bubbles. This would be cool. I feel like they were starting to lean this way a bit by the end in 2009 (thinking of All Our Sins Remembered) and it would be cool to see more like that. I also feel like it would be pretty sick to do comics of books/events that weren't recorded in that medium before (i.e. Time Trap, Destiny War, etc).

Dang! Now THAT'S impressive! I especially like the addition of the bandoliers and the tanks on the back, and I REALLY appreciate how the head and mask still look natural on it (not big dude tiny head). I'd love to see the frame of that chest under the armor, but am also horrified at the thought of this moc being disassembled anytime soon XD

A link to an intriguing epic

Thanks-I had always wondered where that was from!

I had a pretty awesome moment one day when I realized that the Phantoka and Mistika were the Toa Nuva-til then I thought there were 4 teams (Mata/Nuva, Metru/Hordika, Inika/Mahri, Phantoka/Mistika) I also totally thought Vamprah was a girl for ages.

I leap towards the "Shields Up" button, wanting to turn it off for no particular reason, kicking the Bo-Matoran for good measure while mid-air for good measure. I faceplant against the glass window in the door, which I had forgotten was there. But now that I have remembered that there is a door, and there is a window in that door, I resume my disturbing smiles as I glare out at the lot of you.

The Biosector article on Toa Power says: "The amount of Toa Power that a Toa has has never been quantified. Based on the Toa Metru, six Toa collectively have enough power to create six Toa Stones, heal a mortally wounded ash bear, and revive several thousand comatose Matoran before ultimately running out of power." So in theory he would have still had a lot of Power left-unless the amount of Power a Toa has varies depending on what team they are a part of (which, to be fair could be true. I wouldn't have a hard time believing that the Inika have more power than normal Toa due to the influence of the Red Star). I agree-its a moving and very satisfying moment on an emotional level. But from a canon perspective it's always struck me as a bit dicey. How did an old Turaga book it over to Vakama so quickly? I believe the Vahi did affect him when he ran over (though that could have just been the movie using slow motion for dramatic effect), but if this is the case imagine how that scene would have looked in real-time. I'm not sure a Turaga can move so fast. But as I say that maybe my problem isn't with the Turaga but with the way the Vahi has been used in the story. I realize I'm kinda out on a limb here (and I've also totally derailed this topic so sorry about that), but I guess all I'm saying is I would have liked to see more of Toa Lhikan interacting with the Toa Metru. Canon suspicions aside (and if I'm wrong on those points please correct me!) I love the scene. It's a powerful moment in the movie and helps develop Vakama's character, while providing a non-cheesy stimulus for Vakama to discover his mask power.

Bang on (I think I should have elaborated more...) See what I'm wondering is if Lhikan could have evaded capture, would he have still become a Turaga or stayed a Toa to train the others more effectively? And if he were a Toa when he confronted Teridax, maybe he could have survived? My understanding is that Lhikan became a Turaga because his destiny was complete, then immediately turns around and starts training Nuju, Onewa, and Whenua. I'm just wondering if it was a bit of a "well, I'm in prison. Guess I'm done" kinda thing. Maybe I'm the only one who feels this way, but that always felt to me to be a bit anticlimactic. (also his death seemed anticlimactic too. What is more powerful, Teridax or Vahi? NOPE-old man beats both) (I realize there's a lot of speculation here, but what are forums for? )

I grab the Bo-Matoran by the neck and begin slapping him across the face with my notebook until he agrees to pass me my Olmak, which was on the floor beside us. He picks it up for me (because he is short and I didn't want to bend down), hands it to me, then promptly passes out. I slap that sucker on my face and open a massive portal over the battleground in a manner vaguely reminiscent of Avengers Endgame. An army of thousands of Keetongu's species come pouring out of the portal riding Tahtoraks. The mighty steeds let out a mighty roar that shakes the earth and the riders hit each other's shields hard with their blades, building up kinetic energy for each other. The steeds leap into the air as one, and the hatches on all the warriors open in unison with a loud CLANK. With a war cry they all launch their Rhotuka (charged up with kinetic energy) at Kardas, and the sky fills with red as the spinners climb into the air. The raw, unrestrained majesty of the scene is glorious. Some of the bystanders grow blind from the sight while others become clinically insane, running in circles and laughing hysterically. Unfortunately all the Rhotuka spinners sail far past Kardas and into the distance, landing several miles away. There is a very uncomfortable silence. I gently coax the Bo-Matoran out of his coma. He asks me where he is and I say "depth perception. Depth Perception. Depth Perception! DEPTH PERCEPTION!?" Then I slap the Matoran by the eyes. He passes out once more.

I mean, it does make me wonder if Lhikan would have still died if he had turned the Matoran into the Toa Metru as he found them... would he still have been captured if Vakama could have helped him? Yes inexperienced and toolless, but still....

Something I've noticed is that sets often look quite different from their instructions-especially combiner models. Most of the combo models look absolutely horrendous on paper, but I've had a few pleasant surprises. Kranua is a good example (the Nuurakh Vorzakh Rorzakh combo). On paper-disgusting. But after a bricklink order with a few Vhaki, I thought let's just try it out. And you know what, it wasn't that bad! Once you actually posed it a bit, it looked pretty decent-and was very easy to mod to look even better. Any other surprises you guys have found? Is there some secret glorious Bohrok Va Kita adonis hiding in plain sight? Or are there some combo models that should never see the light of day?

The Biosector Toa Stone page says that any ordinary stone can be used-which seems to suggest that so long as the Toa Power can enter it, any object could potentially be used as a Toa Stone........ which kinda makes me wonder why they don't just cut out the middleman and put the power directly into the Matoran?

2001 heads would be pretty tricky-I feel like the 2004 heads would be a bit easier to modify

I agree, but my only hesitation is the fact that there are (or were) 2 Olmak. Its always bugged me that they wrote in some random character that happened to wear an Olmak but never really talked about him. Think about it-how would you kill someone with an Olmak? Jovan's team got jipped. If there was only one Olmak, then definitely 100% a Legendary Kanohi Legendary Suva anyone?

I know, but nobody referenced Bob Thompson or Christian Faber or Christoffer Raundahl or Alastair Swinnerton or Cathy Hapka or Leah Weston Kaae etc... Plus, small picture=smaller textbox

But now I agree with Inika-'03 Makuta seems to have a bit of a *Bionicle-equivalent-of-beer* belly going on.

Chapter 11 The two warriors sized each other up through the hot, hazy smoke. Axonn held his axe in both hands, ready to turn the stationary object into a whirling extension of himself. Surel's dagger, crudely made from a broken fragment of a once-great sword, was held loosely in one hand. With his other hand he clutched an old staff that he leaned heavily on. The exiled glatorian carefully studied Axonn, a slight smile on his face. "You don't know me, do you?" Surel muttered, almost more to himself than to the titan before him. "I know many faces" Axonn replied cautiously, not wanting to reveal anything to the stranger. He glanced towards the raging volcano in the distance, then back at the pale warrior. Surel looked at Axonn, then turned to face the volcano, then back at Axonn. He looked back at the volcano again. One of the wolves nearby snarled at Axonn, but the Alpha gave a short growl that checked the other wolf's aggression. Suddenly, a look of sudden realization appeared on Surel's face, and he gave a delighted chuckle. He slammed the bottom of his staff on the ground a few times as he laughed, and then looked back at Axonn. He quietly spoke to himself. "I see. It's all about to happen! Of course..." Then the glatorian snapped back to the matter at hand. He spoke again, this time addressing Axonn. "Now, I know what you are hunting, but there are some things you need to know. First off" he pointed towards the mountain spewing fire "that should be the site of an extinct and long dead volcano. Second, you will meet someone as you approach the mountain. You will require his help to regain the object you seek. Third, take this wolf with you." He bumped his staff against the side of the younger wolf, releasing it into Axonn's command. The wolf reluctantly walked over towards the silver warrior, quietly growling at Axonn. Surel continued "the one you meet will need its help. Lastly, remember this: everything will fail and fall apart unless you tell him exactly what he needs to know." With that, the mysterious figure turned and began to disappear into the smoke, leaving the growling wolf with Axonn. The wise old titan was confused, and wanted to follow after the glatorian, but his errand was urgent. He set off at a run towards the massive volcano, the ill-tempered wolf skulking about through the smog. Axonn reflected on what Surel had said to him. "... extinct and long dead volcano..." It was true. The volcano hadn't naturally erupted in several millennia, since before times long forgotten. The Great Beings had chosen it as the site of one of their laboratories, which they had constructed in the Valley of the Maze-a series of natural chasms and ravines that had been sculpted and carved into an organized and logical maze. But now the volcano was extremely active, and the Valley of the Maze was a jumble of senseless natural ravines. It was the first sign Axonn had seen in weeks of the creature that he hunted. Though, to be precise, it was not the creature that he was hunting so much as the mask which it had stolen. His thoughts were interrupted by something that had silently crept up behind him and now held a sword to his throat. The unseen attacker spoke in Axonn's ear: "I don't know who you are or what you are doing here, but Angonce ordered me to-" He was cut off when the Iron Wolf that had been following Axonn leapt at the attacker and pinned him down. Axonn spun around to face his assailant, who had thrown the wolf off of himself and was now scrambling to his feet. The Iron Wolf snarled at the figure, but suddenly stopped and cocked its head, giving off a confused grunt. Axonn brandished his axe, ready to cut down the figure, but then stopped and stared at him, confused. Though he was considerably younger and wore much nicer armour, the unscarred face was unmistakable, and even his voice was recognizable now that Axonn saw him. Somehow this was Surel. Yes, the more Axonn looked at him the more clearly he saw him. Even the armour was the same set-the exact same set in fact, but before it had been broken and battered by use. Still, Axonn had to be sure. "Tell me your name-but be warned, this is a Kanohi Rode, it will tell me if you are lying." Even as he tapped his mask, he remembered the other Surel's words: "... Your Rode can't help you now..." Axonn thought to himself "'exactly what he needs to know'... better think carefully about what I say then". The younger warrior, now standing upright again, stared at Axonn. Seemingly distracted from Axonn's question, he quietly spoke to himself "... Kanohi..." The word was familiar, but he could not remember where he had heard it before. Abruptly a look of realization crossed the younger warrior's face. "Kanohi! Angonce was telling me about them-helmets of power... but they aren't finished, yet you wear one?" Axonn replied calmly, becoming increasingly certain of the connection the more he carefully watched the other figure. "Yes I wear one, and if it tells me you are lying I'll let you know-with my axe. Now tell me: are you Surel?" "Yes" the young warrior seemed to relax slightly, but he still held his sword tight. "Now you tell me who you are-and how you got that mask." Axonn’s Rode confirmed the younger warrior’s words. The old Surel's words echoed in Axonn's head once again, and he carefully replied. "I don't know if I can tell you that, but I can tell you this: I am hunting a creature with another Kanohi, a mask of time. I don't know what exactly is going on here, but I'm beginning to think that the mask is somehow behind all... this." He waved his hand towards the thick haze of smoke as he spoke. Surel nodded as Axonn finished his reply. "Yes, it is strange for the volcano to be erupting at this time of year." The white warrior lowered his sword as he looked at the ash and smoke. "Well where I come from, it is strange for the volcano to erupt at any time of year" Axonn cringed behind his mask and inwardly scolded himself "only tell him what he needs to know." He continued, but more carefully this time. "Look, I was told I would need your help to get the mask back, and I was told you would know how to handle this wolf. But I was also told that I cannot tell you anything beyond what you need to know. Will you help me?" Surel looked thoughtfully at the Iron Wolf. "I have been thinking about trying to train some of these wolves, and this one seems pretty reasonable." It was true. The Iron Wolf, perhaps realizing that this was its master (though from a different time), was now standing quite calmly and obediently at Surel's side. The young warrior looked back towards the mountain in the distance. "Angonce did ask me to see what was disturbing the mountain" Surel thought to himself. Finally, he looked back at Axonn. "Who told you these things?" Axonn started to speak, then stopped himself. He pondered how to best proceed, then finally spoke with carefully measured words. "I don't know who he was, but he trusted you, and I have no other option than to trust him and you in turn." Surel seemed to accept this. He looked at the wolf, then at Axonn once more. "So what must I do?" ~~~ Axonn had to sprint to keep pace with the swift Iron Wolf. Once it recognised its former master, the wolf became obedient to Surel's every command. All Surel had to do was figure out how to command it. It didn't take long for him to figure out how to ride the wolf, though of course only he could ride. Axonn was too for the wolf to carry even if he were alone. Besides, of the two, Axonn had more stamina to run longer. "Though this one will have to develop his own stamina if he's gonna survive as many fights as it looked like he did earlier" Axonn mused. He shook his head. This time-displacement stuff was confusing. They were approaching the base of the volcano, where Axonn thought Voporak would be. They would need to be cautious though, the creature could emanate a strange force field that could manipulate time itself-a being could die from old age and decay into dust in a matter of seconds just by being near it. The plan they had come up with was simple. Once they snuck up close enough to the creature, Axonn would hurl Surel at Voporak, Surel would grab the Vahi, then get it back to Axonn as soon as he could. In the meantime, Axonn would attack the creature to try and distract it. The plan hinged on Surel's presence. Because he was younger and smaller, Axonn was counting on being able to throw the warrior quite far quite fast. More than that, because the warrior was so young, he would take slightly longer for Voporak's abilities to age him to death. Axonn had managed to figure out approximately what time Surel came from. Based on that, Axonn guessed that Surel could probably survive for approximately three seconds. The only concern Axonn had was, ironically, also Surel's presence. The mask of time was extremely powerful, but Axonn had never heard of it being used to displace someone from their place in time-let alone an entire mountain. Whatever Voporak's plan was, it needed to be stopped. There was a small ledge around some sort of natural crater at the base of the volcano. That crater was where they thought Voporak was. Surel dismounted and the trio crept silently towards the ledge. They peered over the edge and spotted their quarry. Voporak stood in the middle of the crater, his arms outstretched in the hazy air. The Kanohi Vahi hovered above him, surrounded by a swirling vortex of golden light. Occasional bursts of energy leapt from the vortex, striking the ground nearby in the form of golden lightning bolts. Axonn had never seen anything like that vortex before, though it somehow reminded him of the portals Brutaka was always conjuring up. It almost looked like the creature was trying to use the mask to summon something-or someone. "That can't be good" Axonn thought to himself. "That light..." Surel whispered to Axonn. "I saw a golden light right before I saw you... I must have been pulled through that vortex somehow." That made Axonn pause. He had no idea what Voporak was doing, and he had no idea if it could be replicated. "That vortex might be the only way to return you to your time" Axonn whispered back. Surel took a deep breath and set his face with grim determination. "I'm prepared to stay if I must. We must do whatever it takes to make sure Voporak does not alter the course of events." "You're right" Axonn replied. "That's why it is imperative that you return to your time." Surel began to protest, but Axonn cut him off and stared him in the eyes. "You must return to your time. If you stay, then everything will fail and fall apart." Surel looked confused, but soon accepted Axonn's instructions. "So what's the plan now?" "Well, normally the Vahi can only slow or speed up time in a particular area, so my guess is that as soon as... whatever it's doing is interrupted, that portal will begin to close. You need to enter through it as quickly as possible. I will deal with Voporak myself." "Ok" Surel took a deep breath, then suddenly stopped. "Wait, am I alive in your time?" Axonn paused, unsure how to answer. "I don't know if you need to know that..." "That's exactly what I need to know!" Surel pleaded with the titan. Axonn stopped. "... Everything will fail and fall apart unless you tell him exactly what he needs to know" Axonn muttered to himself, remembering the old Surel's words. "What?" the young Surel asked, confused. Axonn looked at him and didn't hesitate for another second. "Yes. You are alive in my time." Surel looked back at Voporak, a small smile on his face. "After this, find me." Axonn nodded. He couldn’t help noticing that Surel wore the same expression that the old Surel had worn when he realized what Axonn was about to do. The younger warrior took a deep breath. "Ok, let's do this." "Right" Axonn replied. With that he jumped to his feet, hauling Surel up with one hand and with the other aimed his axe at the ground around Voporak's feet. He unleashed a barrage of energy bolts around Voporak's footing, throwing the creature off balance. It caught sight of them and glared at Axonn. Surel whistled a command to the wolf nearby. The Iron Wolf tore across the surface of the crater, snarling and growling. It leapt at Voporak's face before he could activate his force field. “Well, I’m glad that worked” Surel muttered. With the wolf clawing at his eyes and snapping at his neck, Voporak was too preoccupied to pay attention to Axonn and Surel. The Vahi still hung in the air, the vortex swirling around it. "Now's as good a time as any" thought Axonn, so he slammed his axe into the ground beside him and grabbed Surel's feet with his now free hand. Hefting the young warrior over his head like a javelin, he called out "safe travels!" Then he gave a loud grunt as he hurled Surel with all his might. The young warrior sailed through the air faster than even Axonn expected. He was just a white blur as he flew through the smoke filled air towards the glow of the mask and the vortex around it. Just as he was about to grab it, a bolt of golden energy from the vortex happened to strike the Iron Wolf, knocking it off of Voporak's face. Looking up, Voporak suddenly saw Surel hurtling towards the mask, and he activated his force field, trying to envelop Surel within it. Voporak reached out with one clawed hand to grab the young warrior, but Surel pulled off his own helmet and slammed it down on Voporak’s claw. With the other hand, Surel grabbed the Kanohi Vahi. The second he disturbed the mask, the portal began to shrink and close. Axonn saw the rate that the vortex was closing at, and his heart fell. “He’s not gonna make it” he grimly realized. Then, Surel slammed the Vahi onto his own face. Closing his eyes and calling on the power of the mask, he slowed time down around the portal until things barely moved-including the portal itself. Axonn blinked to make sure he was seeing things clearly. It was odd to be able to move normally, but to see time progress so slowly just a few feet away. Voporak’s field, though slowed by the time distortion, now enveloped the Iron Wolf. The poor creature was ash and bones before it knew what had happened. Surel was facing the vortex now, preparing to pass through. But Voporak was charging up its Rhotuka launcher. The swirling disk of energy would, once changed up, move fast enough to strike Surel, who was struggling to move and maintain the Vahi’s powers at the same time. He did not notice Voporak’s last desperate scheme. Axonn took in what was happening in seconds, and without a moment of hesitation threw his axe at Voporak. He knew he had no time to waste, even though he was not currently under the effects of the slowed time, as soon as his axe entered the area effected by the mask, its flight would be slowed. As the axe whistled through the air, Axonn began to sprint around the two figures in a wide circle, hurling bolts of energy at Voporak. Everything hung in the air as time slowed to a near standstill. Surel heard the axe whistling through the air, and turned to look even as he stepped into the portal. With one hand he caught the axe, and seeing Voporak’s launcher for the first time, used the axe’s momentum to swing the heavy weapon and severed the arm that held the launcher. Then, with the axe in one hand and his old helmet in the other, Surel passed through the vortex with the Vahi still on his face. Several things happened at once. First, the Vahi, having traveled through the portal to Surel’s time, no longer affected the area in the crater. Thus, everything began to suddenly move in normal time. Voporak’s limb fell to the ground with a thud, as did the remains of the Iron Wolf. Voporak, who had been leaning forward trying to reach Surel, lurched forward and stumbled over his own limb. All the bolts of energy that Axonn had aimed at Voporak suddenly flew freely and slammed into the creature. There were well over twenty in total-Axonn had been too busy hurling them as fast as he could to keep track of how many there were. Voporak let out a bellow of pain that was suddenly cut short as it was destroyed. His corpse fell forward and hit the ground, never to rise again. All this happened in less than a second. Axonn looked up to see that the sky had cleared and the volcano had returned to normal. The bright blue sky had a cool breeze in it that blew on Axonn’s face gently. He sighed, exhausted from expending so much of his energy at once. He cautiously approached the corpse, unsure if the field was still active. He got just close enough to pick up the metallic skull of the disintegrated Iron Wolf nearby. He looked at the skull in his hand, then at the corpse. He stood looking at Voporak for a long time. Then he turned to leave. Massive walls rose up before him where valleys and ravines used to be. “Ah, yes” he thought to himself. He rummaged through a small pouch at his hip until he found a small coin. The coin had the complex pattern of the Skrall shield on it, which happened to be the shape of the famed Valley of the Maze, where he now stood. He examined it for a moment, then set out towards an opening in the wall, tossed the coin in the air with his thumb, letting it spin for a moment, then caught it. He left the corpse behind as he pondered his place in the world and all the forces that had contrived together to bring him to his own time. He also pondered what Surel might be doing with his axe. *Addendum* I thought I'd add a few clarifying things here as these details didn't seem to fit naturally into any point of this chapter. First off, whatever Voporak was trying to accomplish (which will be discussed before too long), it was a complex and difficult task. Normally, the Great Volcano is dormant (its eruptions were mechanized by the Great Beings for safety reasons). But Voporak arrived at the volcano three days ago and had undergone several attempts to do what it was trying to do-the first few times failed, but the preliminary tests were powerful enough to alter the landscape around the volcano to its pre-mechanised state. The last test Voporak was conducting was interrupted by Axonn and Surel's attack. Surel was brought forward in time only by the last test-so though the volcano was active for three days, Surel only arrived on the last day. The tests were more time disruptions rather than actual time travel, so the volatile active condition (past) of the volcano was superimposed on the current volcano (present). My estimate puts young Surel's time somewhere shy of 300,000 years ago (near the beginning of recorded history, as the Great Beings were rising to power), making him quite young. I might (if I find enough time in my schedule) post a short story about some of young Surel's doings in the past-stay tuned! I've always thought that Voporak's accidental attack on the Shadowed One was a relatively weak show of power, seeing as in Destiny War he aged a Order of Mata Nui member "tens of thousands of years" in a few seconds with ease (the Shadowed One only aged 3000 years and it took about the same amount of time). So it seems to me that he can control the rate which his force field speeds up time, thus enabling him to turn the wolf to ash. I did intentionally use "it" and "him" interchangeably for Voporak-he seems to me to be on the cusp between being a creature and being a person. I kinda pity it, his is a tragic story. Things start to heat up now! Again, comments are welcome here: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/28099-universe-of-the-cyclical-paradigm-review-topic/

*Excellent * This entire time I've been laughing maniacally, but now pause to eye the Bo-Matoran beside me, my Vezon smile slowly returning. I reveal a notebook I had concealed on my person. I open to the first page (which is titled "Kardas bleacher plan"), draw a massive checkmark across the page (with a tri-color pen I also had hidden on my person). I flip the page, and begin scribbling wildly, hiding the page with my other hand. The Bo-Matoran looks very uncomfortable and begins knocking on the door calling out "guys? Guys? Guys!? I don't know what he's writing! GUYS!?" He sends up a quick prayer to the great spirit of The Green. In another universe, the Ninjago Movie Lloyd senses something, but decides it wasn't important. It is unknown if he decided this because the Ninjago Movie was unimportant, or if he decided this for another reason altogether. Back in Siberia, Iroh (who is now "spirit-world Iroh", due to whatever caused the crater, be it the awesomeness or the warheads) shakes his head sadly at the needless waste of a good teapot and Pai-Sho set (which were also vaporized by the unidentified force previously discussed). He sits down to exchange wisdom with one of the Good Guys who are still watching the insanity.

I HAPPEN TO NOTICE A DE-MATORAN ROCKING OUT NEARBY. HE WAS THE SOURCE OF THE MUSIC! THE AREA IS NOW A CHARRED WASTELAND, UNABLE TO HANDLE THE SHEER AWESOMENESS OF MY DEVIOUS PLAN. MY SMILE HAS GONE FROM LEVEL "Irrnak" TO FULL-ON "Vezon". IROH SIPS HIS TEA!!!!!!!!!!!

I slowly remove my Olmak, the wild grin still on my face. Quickly glancing at the bleachers, I mutter "just a few more". I begin to think about my grin and wonder what my Piraka bio would be. I settle on MoarBotar: 'The Nut' 100% clinically insane, 0% wordplay

Childhood me: *deeply offended* "CLEARLY Axonn and Takutanuva are not "FAT", merely big-boned!" XD Irnakk is really the only model that has ever struck me as being fat (with that Zamor-gut), but 2001 and 2002 Pohatu has straight up hips. I have a vague memory of arguing with one of my buddies who thought that Pohatu was a girl because he had a more "girly shape" (7 year old boys: funny AND offensive!) For some reason the Miru Nuva looks kinda chonky to me....
