Did anyone find out what causes the turns to freeze yet?

Completely unrelated, but can Toa of Psionics create a barrier like a hau does?

They can telekinetically make objects not get close to them, with more difficulty with the larger ones, and presumably would not be able to if they didn't see it coming. So in a sense, yes. I doubt it would be an energy shield like Tahu's, but it's possible.

What does the elemental Shadow does? So far it seems to be similar to Elemental light in some aspects, like creating solid light/shadow objects, or using them as a beam to burn something. And how does it work exactly?

I think instead of burning it could indirectly freeze things perhaps, but there's never been confirmation of that as far as I know. It can also physically move things as with the Shadow Hands. It works by draining light that is present.

Bitil, because of he is the most stereotypical Makuta.

I've got a question. What does the elemental Shadow does? So far it seems to be similar to Elemental light in some aspects, like creating solid light/shadow objects, or using them as a beam to burn something. And how does it work exactly?

Or perhaps the Mask of EE isn't a Kanohi at all... Just a thing that you can wear on your face to replenish energies.

Well, Idk why you guys keep saying that the Twin Light Staffs aren't heavy weapons, especially when they have the length of Takanuva's legs

Well, they look lighter, anyways. We can't know that for sure, though, no. Here's something else to consider I thought of. The staffs are similar to his original Tool, which was similar to a Kolhii Stick, and he may have felt more confident with those than the lance. A less clumsy shape.

...I'm actually somewhat surprised that nobody has mentioned the Toa Inika's organic masks.I don't know about you, but I would have a bit of a problem wearing a still-living creature that had a mind link with me and could activate itself if it decided to-all to help you, of course, but still. And besides......Imagine it pulsing. On your face. Moving. On your face.>.<

someone brought up the fact that kongu had was within range of velika and yet never picked up on anything,

Well, we need to keep in mind this was not true in the minds of the story team or Greg at the time, so there would be no reason to see an intentional clue about it there or anywhere else. But mental shielding is possible in Bionicle, which would especially make sense for a GB. Also, Kongu wasn't looking for a hidden GB. Plus, keep in mind that whoever the GB was, the risk of running into some Toa wearing that mask would exist, so he would need a contingency for that regardless of which identity he used. A Dark Hunter would actually be much more likely to run into that power than a humble Matoran, and in a confrontational way.

Can you just quote it rather than giving a logout link?

The link was to a search, but sure:1) You said in another message that the Kanohi of Elemental Energy is one-use only. So, if someone were to use it, it would fade dark and never be able to be used again, something like that? Or could someone else just pick it up and use it again themselves?1) One-use means one-use, not one-use per person. It's a video game power-up -- if you use it, it's gone, it's not still there for someone else.Can a Toa release Nova Blasts consecutively and indefinitely by releasing a Nova Blast, using the Mask of Elemental Energy to replenish his elemental energies, then releasing another Nova Blast, then using the mask again, and so on?No, for two reasons. One, the MEE is a one-use mask. And two, it is a power up but it doesn't make you go from zero to full power.Sure: The two post links are here and here. Basically, researching the Greg Discussion/Quotes topics shows he approved it as a favor to the game designers and that it is a one-use Kanohi. Doesn't quite fit with the one story usage, but that's what he described it as.-TN05

Meh, i'm gonna have to agree with tillius on this. why is everyone so up in arms about it? Currently it has no real bearing on the storyline, and it seems like[spoiler] Greg only picked velika because of the fact he was his favourite character. To be honest its very.....meh. Everyone thinks now there was some huge wave of evidence behind it from the beginning...but i don't think so. Pretty much any other character could have been picked and people would have found some contrivances that would have magically proved he was a great being from the start. Why is everyone applauding greg for this? The writing here is pretty much to raise his pet character to an elevated platform of relevance. Greg could have said a chicken nugget was a a great being and everyone would have been overjoyed, if not simply, because of the update. The way I see it the story has been pretty much a mess past 08, when greg deviated from bob thompson's bible, and the story has truly become useless reveal after useless reveal beyond bionicle's endNow I was one of the people truly angry when bionicle ended, but at the state at which the story was going after bionicle ended (i.e; the random shock value and pointless twists, the random story exposition reveal to fans outside of the serials), I prefer it to be left to fanfic, and to be picked up by LEGO again in future.Now I wouldn't mind Velika being the GB, but the whole thing was almost definitely tacked on way after the character was written and through random contrivances, any character could have filled that place. Plus anyone who thought Velika wasn't the GB was thinking to hard lol. Greg needed to pick a character to tack on this random, completely irrelevant-to-the-prior-plot-mystery to without too much contradictory backstory. Why not make it his favorite?? [/spoiler]

I completely agree i was really mad at velika being the GB. i really wish it was some villian i mean what better way than to have someone who is supposedly evil be the great being heck even a mysterious villian like Darkness. someone who is associated with evil but has many secrets. and also someone brought up the fact that kongu had was within range of velika and yet never picked up on anything,and another good question what happened to velika original great being body? i mean if he could transfer his soul/mind into another body then maybe he had his original body hidden somewhere for his eventual return so he could regain all his original powers. i think this because how else could he as a matoran take out tren krom.

I also wonder why did he not keep his Blaster, considering that his is just the same size of other Toa's, and the other Toa seemed to have no trouble carrying those around. Having a secondary weapon that can shoot light blasts without wasting his elemental energy reserve or to channel his own EP is useful.

I've been waiting for someone to bring this up. Entering a battle with it would limit his melee options, plus once you fire four shots, it's not going to recharge fast enough to be of any help.fishers is right that he didn't make the switch knowing he'd enter a battle though, but the way life in TerryMak's world was described it was much like a constant risk of battle. Mobility may mean life or death even more so there since he controlled the very environment. So heavy and clunky are not good matches for it.

Hey, but where did he abandon it? If it is really that huge, there wouldn't be a place large enough to conceal it...

But still,"Let's abandon a weapon that can amplify power beams and a powerful blaster in an easily accessible crate while taking these average Twin Light Staffs against these hordes of zombies Rahkshi!"That seems rather ... unreasonable

I enjoy the current traffic, but I sure do miss the old days when new sets/content came out and everyone complained about them. That was so much fun

I thought the Velika had too much heroism in his character... his assistance w/ the Toa Inika seems to kinda contradict the GB's intention to spectate the universe. But then I guess he just didn't wanna die in this universe so he helped them anyway... :/

We were told he wouldn't want to interfere in the normal operation of the Great Spirit. Aiding (minimally) heroes restoring that is pretty much the opposite.

I think the Mask of Undeath would be probably more useful if there were more Takutanuva... :PBasically it is a mask that decreases you chance of survival (by draining your life force) and creates a posthumous, but less capable version of yourself after you're dead... But then since it is emotionless, a plus side to this mask power is that if there's something you need to accomplish but don't wanna witness, you can die and let your corpse finish it :/

You know, if Velika was the murderer, how would he manage to rip Tren Krom into millions of pieces?

Regarding number 6, I guess you were referring to Jaller calling Hahli "the barbarian"It is simply because Hahli wanted to mess with the Barraki, not that she is really that aggressive.

I have the PC version and I always get Out of Bounds glitches so I gave up on getting 100%... I am close though, just lacking the LEGO pieces related achievement and the super expensive cansister locator...

Iron or Magnetism. I would break my computer accidentially if I had such power

Or his ears are just that tough. Don't forget Pohatu's faced Sonics users and not been permanently deafened, not to mention that even Toa of Sonics, who are sensitive to their own element, don't all go deaf.

Yea :3http://pandagames.bi.../Spybotics.html

Woah! This is a very pleasant surprise. I have long considered Spybotics: The Nightfall Incident to be one of the best games ever released on lego.com, and until now I assumed it was lost forever after the site was purged of all its old games. It's great to see it's still around and kicking; I'll have to go and play it again sometime.

I think I took at least a 2 year break from BZPower...I joined at 2006 and now I only have 400 posts...
