High Voltage

 

Well, you're the one I've noticed it from the most. And you're a staff member, so...

 

Eh. I haven't gotten to deploy 'son of a skakdi' from my repertoire of in-universe curses, I realize...

Purely theoretically, that's bloody racism.

Don't worry, Skakdi don't reproduce

Even if it's incompatible with the older masks I think the reboot head is the best.  Just because the face underneath doesn't sacrifice any aesthetics for the sake of a mask connection.

Inika head is by far the worst out of all of them, which I'd care a bit more about if any of the Inika masks looked good enough to ever actually use.

2001: Tahu Mata

2002: Boxor

2003: Matoro

2004: Toa Lhikan and Kikanalo

2005: Keetongu

2006: Brutaka, but really loved all the titans this year.

2007: Hydraxon

2008: Axalara T9

2009: Skopio XV-1

Hydraxon and Axalara bolded because they both tie for my overall favourites.  Also in terms of sets, 2007 > All

While it mightn't make a great turret, it sure looks like it could be modified into a great lower arm.

Oh man, this is just brilliant. Excellent design man.

I've got to say, after watching the new clip,

has gotten really good at manipulating people into doing what she wants.

Speed drawings are cool anyway.)

I like Yveltal's design better, but I think Xerneas has the better name. "Yveltal" just doesn't seem to roll off the tongue. Maybe it would sound better if it was "Yvetal" or "Yvelta."

 

Well, these are Anglicisations of the the Japanese names, right? I'm sure it'll be better once they're localized.

 

...although, even for Japanese names they are a bit odd...there don't seem to be enough vowels...hmm, poor phonetic transcription, perhaps?

Nah, the legendaries typically have the same name world wide. Plus they are releasing it in October world wide, and the dates will be very close, so the names we've been given are the English ones for both the starters and legendaries.

Fine by me. They did this with Season 1's finale, and I believe it's generally agreed that Best Night Ever was a fine conclusion, yes?{/spoiler]

While I loved Best Night Ever, I was hoping for an epic 2 parter, like the wedding.Also new preview for MLP. After seeing it, all doubt about Twi becoming an alicorn is gone.

So season 3 finale is just gonna be one episode. Anyone else disappointed by this?

That sure is a gunsmith.

Guys, Froakie is not going to be a water/fighting type (Ignoring the fact that the trio would be really unbalanced to Fennekin's hindrance if this was the case)

 

??? if froakie were water/fighting it wouldnt make it unbalanced

 

froakies primary type makes it weak to chespins primary and strong against fennekins primary, while their secondary types would reverse that perfectly, especially since their secondary types arent strong or weak against their primary types

Yeah, sorry, I was thinking of the other way (grass/fight, fire/psychic, water/dark). Sorry, still waking up. Still, the dark, fight, psychic trio will always be slightly unbalanced due to dark's immunity, and Froakie just doesn't have any indications of being a water/fight or water/dark and there is much more concrete evidence for other types based on the design and name.

One last thing, if Froakie's shiny form has the colour scheme of Cyclos from the Wind Waker like Normal Froakie has the scheme of Zephos, that will be the best reference ever.

Guys, Froakie is not going to be a water/fighting type. There is a cloud around his neck. That indicates that its either going to be water/flying, water/ice (because snowclouds exist and 'froakie' may come partially from freeze) or pure water type. I can't speak for the other ones though, though I suspect Fennekin may be fire/psychic.

As for the starter I'll pick, I'm going to go with Froakie (if his evolutions look good) because he looks great and it looks like they'll be doing a cloud theme with him. That is just really cool to me. Water starters have yet to disappoint, so I'm confident. Also, I really don't like Chespin, he just looks cluttered and, to be blunt, sort of dumb. Fennekin looks good, but is way better looking in-game than in official art.

why are there no known male toa of lightning?is there some sort of hormone malfunction that blocks them from obtaining such a power?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They were just programmed that way. Also, the colour blue.

I feel like he may be from the Metal Gear series... Ryden or something?

...

It's not coming to me.

I have a question about Magnetism. Why is it that Magnetism is an absorbable element but Gravity is not? I remember the justification for Gravity's non-absorbable nature as being "you wouldn't need to absorb it, since it's almost always present in some amount." Now, I'll admit, I'm not too knowledgeable when it comes to magnetic physics (and yes, I know that real-world physics don't always apply in Bionicle, but bear with me here), but wouldn't that same rule apply to magnetism? And if so, then what need is there for Toa of Magnetism to be able to absorb their element?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Because Greg F does what he wants .

I was wondering, do Toa Seals have limits? Can they be broken by immense power?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As seen with the Makuta Stone, they can be carved. However the action of carving comes at the cost of a lot of the carver's energy, and Roodaka pretty much almost died just when carving a tiny chip out. It may be doable with enough resources, but I would doubt it. It severely depreciates the value of a Toa Seal if they can be broken by any old shmuck with a powerful organisation behind him, and the fact that the BoM didn't use the substantial arsenal of powerful tools at their desposal when their resident old shmuck was imprisoned may indicate that it is impossible. I don't know why though. Maybe the Toa Seal gets harder the deeper you get or something.

'Disorganized Fun' - Ronald Jenkees

I am completely neutral towards it. I sorta liked the first one I found after searching, but it was only 1 minute of 1 song, so I won't go and say I like it.

TPBM used to play a lot of Age of Empires I, II or III.

 

The only thing I didn't like was how Spitfire didn't acknowledge Dash even a little despite meeting her multiple times.

I believe that was intentional. Spitfire needs to remain professional and has to treat all cadets the same way. She cannot pull favourites and treat Dash differently just because she saved her life and pulled off a few sonic rainbooms, or she might discourage the other cadets or turn them against Dash. Mentioning that Spitfire knew her would have been too much already.

But I think the writers had that in mind when writing the episode. When Dash responds to Spitfire's taunt that she would leave after a day, Spitfire smiled when Dash asserted that she would never leave. That's exactly the answer she expected from someone like Dash, even if she couldn't tell the other cadets.

 

Yeah, I think you're right. Don't get me wrong though, I wasn't saying that she should be treated differently (I would have most likely complained about that if it happened), it was just that I originally thought a little nod would have been nice. But yeah, judging by the rest of how we saw Spitfire act on-duty, it's very understandable and more in character.

So that brings my total number of complaints down to 0, and actually turns the complaint into a positive. This was such an awesome episode .

3/5 I've always liked it, but mostly for the opening bit.

And I hope you enjoy that Christmas hat, Miss OC.

Now that looks like a girl who would enjoy a butter lettuce party.

I loved this episode, and it's my favourite in the season so far. It was funny, had superb pacing (seriously, I cannot stress how perfect this pacing was) and tugged heavily at my heartstrings (no pun intended) at times. The only thing I didn't like was how Spitfire didn't acknowledge Dash even a little despite meeting her multiple times. Also, I hope we see more Lightning Dust. She's like Trixie, but better.

 

 

So does that mean Fighting is Magic could be gone too?

Wow, I never considered that. I really hope not. Still, there have been a lot of fan games (along with other media) that have been successfully released. It might have just been the sheer size of MLP Online. To be honest, I'm a bit hazy on what the law covers as 'shutdownable'.

 

 

Yeah, apparently they are only obligated to oppose "counterfeit" products that are already in the "market", although it's still baffling how a real-world company could be threatened by a fan-made, nfp project. The Fighting is Magic team has already said that they do not plan to release the game until it is mostly complete, so hopefully we'll still get a working version even if Hasbro decides to prosecute it.

 

But they could be threatened by it. Like I said, they are legally obliged to shut it down once it comes to light or else they forfeit the rights to the franchise. That is a bad thing from the perspective of both fans and Hasbro.

Also, as for the image that has been floating around, it is worth noting that the guy that posted it had no previous posts and Derpy has been just about everywhere in the comics, so the thing about phasing her out doesn't add up in the slightest.

@Rarity (Because quoting is dumb now):

I guess shows edit it in before airing. It's not something you think about, is it?
