  1. Awesome :biggrin: experiment with various voices and see who you think you would be able to do best. Just do a couple versions of the character's lines in the same recording, and you can email the sound file to Njunk@dixondigital.comThe current parts available are:Any Toa mataAny RahiThe Makutaany turagaany matoranyou can try for 3 parts max.

    heck ill try doing the makuta and maybe kopaka.Are you going to try and make a actual script for people who may not have the original comics, i personally have them but for people who don't u may want to. Also the rahi really does not have actual voices but just animal noises.
  2. well this may not fit exactly but you know how a common thing for fire wielding beings how they will snap their fingers and little sparks will fly out, well i think it would be neat for a ice wielding being to snap their fingers and a small storm of snow would come out like if you picked up some powdery snow in your hand and u blow air and they create a little flury. I think it would be neat to see somebody do that in the story just once.

  3. I think you misread my post. I acknowledged that all the Rahi were created by the Makuta, and I was proposing that most of the civilizations in the Matoran Universe (Skakdi, Vortix, Steltian, etc) all descend from Rahi created by the Makuta.

    I understand that but i highly doubt they descended from rahi since most every thing in the matoran universe was built. and also i think it was mata-nui who created them because first off if you look at the reason the matoran were made was to keep mata-nui running by doing thier work so think of what the vortixx do they also create and in a way they are profiting the matoran with their creations ( mostly weapons) so it's like a mutual relationship since the matoran can't do everything. It's more so a " we give you something and we get something in return " type thing all the species benefit from each other thus creating a complex network which helps mata-nui function. and whos to say that mata-nui did not come up with this idea when he observed other planets. it's simply that every one benefits from the others existence.
  4. I really like this as well i'm glad that it was actually thought through. And in my opinion it would fit in with the other element abreviationsko=kopakale=lewaonu=onuaso ni could also go for nikilaNi=Nikilaso it does make sense and i like it.

    And more importantly, Le = Lesovikk, Nikila's team's Toa of Air. Which is why I've supported "Ni-" since that chapter of Dreams of Destruction came out.
    true i did not think of lesovikk but good point
  5. Type:BannerSize:800x300 pixelsForeground:http://www.mocpages.com/image_zoom.php?mocid=244251&id=/user_images/67368/1310963482m_DISPLAY.jpg on the far right part of the banner after the words "The Switch Mirror" and if you could get at least the head that would be niceBackround:http://www.rockforthegiggle.com/upload/Purple_Lightning_Background.jpgText(style, size, and where):"A team shall be created and be led by a dimensional outcast" then fades and the words "The Switch Mirror" will come on screen.I would like the text to be combination of black and white coloringSpecial Notes: i would like there to be a link to my epic found here http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=972 also could the border of the banner be jagged and could the banner kind of flash a littleI hope this is enough information.

  6. Well I think it is good for your first new comic. i like that you were able to write backwards. The only thing I found wrong was the same thing King Joe said and that i think maybe a short introduction or a character sheet should accompany the comic considering I've never read any of your previous comics so I don't know your characters. All in all this is a good start.

  7. I had to vote for older because I feel that story lines now a days are far to short and don't have much detail, Whereas the old story lines had detail, lasted and did not end abruptly. So yeah that's why i chose that.

  8. I know there are a lot of color variations like for example when you have thok is color white whereas if you look at toa nuju it's a more pure white. I have always thought that this is like a secret of why lego did it kinda of like area 51. It's just amazing how they work and change things.

    Ah, but Thok is actually a different color than Nuju, unlike the aforementioned Bohrok eyes. Nuju is 1 White while Thok is 208 Light Stone Grey (which AFOLs tend to call Very Light Bluish Gray). It's a color that was also used for shields in the 2004 Knights Kingdom minifigure playsets. I think the reason Thok is a different color from most white sets is obvious: they wanted his gleaming white teeth to be brighter-colored than the rest of him.
    I never knew that about the technical term for thoks color. Still that's neat.

  10. Chapter 7: The Unexpected Wake –up Call

    Well this is going to be an interesting morning. I woke up to protosteel chains around my arms and that my tools were gone but I still had my mask. While I was assessing the situation a large blue bulky being stepped out of the dark corner of the apparent cell.“Well toa you’re awake now you can join your turaga ally.”“ What do you mean?”“ Oh you don’t know well you’re our newest gladiator. And the fun can start now” the blue giant (I think that’s a good name.) started laughing.He walked over to the dark corner and pulled down a large switch. Then there was this annoying light filled the room. But long behold that room was a vehicle and I was now in an arena. Two more blue giants came and undid the chains on my arms. Instinctively I tried to activate my element but found that I couldn’t.“Its useless toa this arena has the ability to block any powers so your little element won’t work you will have to use your bodies natural abilities instead of your annoying toa element.” One of the two brutes said“So who or what will I am fighting?” I ask with sarcasm“Oh you get to fight me you insolent toa.”“Good then look up.”“ What. There’s nothing Th…”Just then I got one arm free and grabbed his right leg and swung it out from underneath him but before I could do more the other blue giant grabbed my throat and lifted me in the air.“Good idea toa but the battle hasn’t started.” He set me down and directed me to a table of weapons“ Choose your weapon toa cause your now fighting me since he’s unconscious”I looked over what was available and saw my toa tools were already in his hands. Seeing my gaze he said “if you defeat me you can use them in your next fights if you live.” I decided to take a simple mace and a shield that attached to my forearm.“ If you live through the fights we’ll even let your turaga friend and his Rahi free if not then they get to fight next and I don’t think he’ll survive these battles” the blue giant said while pointing to the vehicle where Zakano and Vanuka were chained.Then some body must have hit some mechanism because the ground of the arena changed into a rocky area that had several areas easily 50 feet in the air. And the sides of the arena gave way to reveal stands with hundreds of spectators. Out of nowhere a loud deep voice announced that I and blelp (the blue giant) were about to fight and the spectators yelled in excitement.As the voice spoke those words blelp had charged at me while swinging my blade towards me. I dodged just as he was about to crash in to me so using his momentum against him I swung my mace towards his back and it surprisingly struck him and sent him face first into the dirt. As he got back to his feet I got into a defensive position.“Your very nimble toa this might be more difficult than I thought.”“ You shouldn’t let your guards down blelp. Some one might not let you up again.”As he and I looked for the other’s weakness. He then started to run towards me again so I immediately got my shield up but at the last moment he turned his charge into a slide and knocked my feet out from under me. Then before I could get up he put his foot to my throat “wonder how long until you snap apart toa.”“ Ha look behind you.” I said barely getting the word through my mouth.“Good trick toa but I know what you’re up to.”Just then I used my legs and I flipped the mace that landed on my legs so that it would strike him in the arm, which was holding my sword. When he dropped it I grabbed it with my left hand and activated the secret ability of my sword. I swung it towards his side and simultaneously activated the elemental energy reserve and as the blade struck him my reserve froze him just long enough to get out from under his foot. As I stood I activated the levitation add-ons since they were not a power and levitated up to the 20 feet and landed on a rocky out cropping.“ How did you activate those powers?” blelp said with annoyance“Their not powers but natural abilities even the sword was natural yes I stored the reserve before I even was captured. So think I’m still that easy to kill, blue giant?”As the words left my mouth Blelp made some sort of signal to the group controlling the field. The landscape of the field changed to a flat land with no obstacles. As soon as I hit the ground Blelp ran towards me. I tried to activate my add-ons but he struck the bottom of my right foot damaging the add-on. I thought to my self well levitating is out of the option there has to be a way to defeat him, I know I can’t beat him in close combat although I might be able to perform some sneak attack so that I can disable him.Just then he came up and grabbed me and proceeded to fling me towards the stands. But as I hit the force field around the stands I saw a toa of plant life and I noticed the toa was staring at the symbol on my shoulder armor. As I hit the ground I heard Blelp start charging at me. But he never reached me due to the fact that that toa of plant life was blocking him. I then heard the toa say,“Heads towards the vehicle! Now!”I did as told and took the pilot out of the command seat and flung him out the window. I revved the vehicle to life and headed for the toa. As the toa leapt into the storage area I got the vehicle going as fast as possible and rammed into Blelp sending him crashing into the side of the arena leaving a hole the size of a kane-ra.I then piloted the vehicle out of the arena. As we exited the arena the toa of plant life hopped into the passenger seat and told me to head towards the mountains in the distance where is home was located. As we traveled he revealed to me that he was Granato and that he knew Laviki and recognized the symbol on my armor.“Ya when I met Toa Laviki he told me he belonged to some organization called The Lightened Shadows and that symbol is the emblem of the organization. Although I have searched far and wide for the organization, but I never found them so I gave up.” Granato said with a bit of annoyance.As we rode to his home I kept thinking to myself, I bet that this “Lightened Shadows” have something to do with my coming into this dimension. It was almost night by the time we got to his home hidden in a large group of trees. He had told me he covered his home with plants using his power and making his home blend in with the trees. As we arrived Granato and I hopped out of the vehicle and walked toward the back of the vehicle. As we reached the back we heard zakano shouting, “You stupid fools, you rescue me yet you forget I’m back here. And if that is not bad enough it smells of rotting visorak and you can only take so much of that. Let me out now!” Along with Zakano Rambling we heard angry hissing from Vanuka.We opened the hatch and stepped far away. But even that didn’t help as soon as Zakano exited the craft he jumped on Vanuka’s back and walked over to us very calm like but in a mere second he hit Granato and I in the head with his scythe.“Never forget me again! Understand?”We cowered “Yes Zakano.”Granato walked us to his hut and told us to come in. The walls were covered with notes and the insignia on my shoulder. He told Zakano and I to head to the cluster of trees behind his hut, and that he would be there in a second. So Zakano/Vanuka and I walked marveling at the myriad of plants that were around his hut. As we got close to the cluster we noticed there was what appeared to be metallic machine parts sticking out of the trees. As soon as we saw those parts Granato came up to us and raised his hand in the air and as he did the vines and branches of the trees separated to reveal what appeared to be a small 5 person airship made of metallic protodermis.“ This is my pride and joy. I constructed this beauty from different objects I won in those gladiator battles. “Granato said with great pride.“ You fought in those battles?” I said with awe and amazement“Yes. I’m undefeated.”“ Well no duh if you weren’t you would be dead.” Zakano said with a hint of sarcasm“But back to the issue at hand I was contacted by Toa Laviki 100 years ago to create this craft. He told me that I would need this one day to escape my death and along with that he gave me a dagger made out of stone and said it would power this craft but that it would also be important to the lives of others.”“ So you had to kill your opponents to win?” I asked as it worried me“Well yes but I secretly threw this powder on them that I bought from a traveling merchant that bought it from a makuta. The powder slowed the life processes so that they appeared dead and then I when the powder wore off I helped them escape.”“Okay. You had me worried for a second.”But before we could finish we heard cries of rage and the snapping of a fire. We turned to see a group Steltians heading towards us and they had already burnt Granato’s hut. We all entered Granato’s air craft and it started to rise but the Steltians had Cordak blasters and had hit a tree, which in turn hit our craft. I opened the side hatch on the craft. I conjured a fierce blizzard, which blew chunks of ice into the group the size of boulders. I shut the hatch and told Granato to get the heck out of here. By the time we hit the ocean the blizzard had subsided and we were flying to our next destination what ever that may be.

  11. I have to admit that roodaka was one of my favorite bionicles of 2005. I also really like the vortixx in general so i'm glad someone created one because i can never seem to find one. My only complaint is she does not have a mouth or some piece for a mouth but besides that i really like it.

  12. It's possible, I believe, because Agori have the same lifespan as Matoran; Glatorian live as long as, if not longer than Agori live, and and Certavus died from natural causes, which I always figured was old age. That would also mean that a Matoran's lifespan is longer than 1,000 years, since Takua seemed to still be quite youthfully energetic as a Matoran in 2001-2003. In other words, I think it's possible, but no Matoran has lived long enough for it to happen yet.

    Did Greg confirm that Agori live as long as Matoran? I'd assume Matoran live longer, since they're mostly mechanical.Ackar is over 100,000 years old, and doesn't seem to be likely to die soon, so the Matoran life span is probably at least that.
    I actually think Agori live longer than matoran because if you look at the story line you'll see that the agori lived on Spherus-Magna and that the matoran did not exist until the Mata-Nui project started and the agori participated in the core war which occurred before and during mata-nui's construction. So in all reality the agori are older than the matoran or any Mata-Nui species.
  13. Why do the cool things always happen on beaches, with me living nowhere near one? :P Still no idea what the intent could be, but the fact that its happened thrice now is certainliy... Interesting. ~|ET|~

    I must agree with you that whenever something major goes on we can't seem to get to it especially since i live in alaska. It always seems fate knows I live in alaska so it goes" Ha. He'll never get to any big event" It seems to sayStill the minifig thing is wierd.
  14. I must say that I agree with Toa Kanas about the torso. but i also really like your clever use of the keetongu bohrok head plate as a head piece. And I've noticed not many people use the Carapar armor for some odd reason but you were able to pull it off. I give this Moc a 8/10. I cant wait to see more of your work.

  15. Chapter 6: Complete Pause

    Somewhere in the middle of the ocean.I had not known how crazy you could become just staring into the ocean. Zakano and I have been on the ocean for 5 days now. We were lucky enough to find a small island that had several bula trees. After we restocked our supplies and camped on the island we had set sail again. On the fourth day of sailing zakano showed signs of a rare and devastating disease: utter boredom. Oh but on the fifth day he snapped. I had been meditating on the deck of ship only to be disturbed by the sound of running footsteps. I got up from the pose I was in and opened my eyes. Before I could even blink I saw zakano get in to a jumping position, I ran to catch him just as he was jumping overboard. I was able to grab his legs although he still resisted my trying to pull him back on board all the while he was shouting at me.“Darn it Voxumo let me jump!”“Jumping into the ocean won’t cure your boredom especially since you don’t know how to swim. I mean really what inspired your method of curing boredom!” I shouted back at him.“Well you actually do have a good point, mind pulling me back on board.”“Just don’t jump over again or I will freeze you till we get to Stelt.”“Alright fair enough.” Zakano said with a semi calm tone of voiceas we were having our little event neither of us noticed that Stelt had come into view and that we were heading towards a rocky outcropping jutting out of the ocean. I threw Zakano onboard the ship and ran to the controls of the ship and made a hard left turn. Even though I tried to avoid certain destruction I couldn’t. So I ran to Zakano and Vanuka grabbed both by one of their arms and activated my L.F.A (Levitation Feet Add-ons) just as the boat struck the out cropping. Luckily I had levitated enough to take Zakano and Vanuka out of the path of several broken pieces of boat that could have killed them. I then looked for a spot to land but not seeing one I froze some of the ocean to create a temporary landing area. As I set Zakano and Vanuka down on the ice. Zakano immediately hopped into Vanuka’s hollow in his back. I then created a staircase that led up to the top of the cliff behind the rocky outcroppings.As soon as we were all on the cliff Zakano came over to me to say thanks.“Hey I couldn’t just let you be crushed now could I?” I answered in a joking manner.“I understand that but what really amazed me was how fast you reacted to the situation. Not even Laviki could have pulled off that feat in such a short time.”“Well I have no good answer to how I pulled that feat off but I just did.” I said with honesty“Yeah but that was still amazing. Heck Vanuka and I would not be standing here if it wasn’t for you, so thank you very much Voxumo. Vanuka and I owe our lives to you.” Zakano said even as he was translating Vanuka’s low pitched calls.“Zakano you know how you can help me, just by accompanying me on my journey.”After we took a second to re-gather ourselves I took vanuka and headed back to the wreckage of our boat to gather what resources I could from the wreckage. After an hour of searching I filled the hollow in Vanuka’s back with what I had found and told Vanuka to head back up to Zakano. Luckily during our time spent on the boat zakano had taught me simple commands in the frost walker language so that even I could partially talk to Vanuka. After Vanuka went back up to zakano I gathered what I could carry and levitated back up my self. During Vanuka and my salvage mission Zakano had apparently scouted the area and told me that there was what appeared to be a small outpost and that it was easily 10 miles away from our current position.I told Zakano that we would be heading out around dusk since that gave us 6 hours of sleep. Before I fell asleep I could have sworn I heard screams coming from the direction of the outpost but I dismissed it as being in an area I wasn’t used to. But oh was I wrong so very wrong.

    End Of Chapter 6

  16. This reminds me of the whole "Kilroy was here" But of course this is far more than just a simple picture or carving since this obviously is very unique with a actual large minfig i'm assuming made of plastic. But it gives me the same vibe as that kilroy (which they never did find the person responsible). That's my view on this matter.I'm really am curious if the one they found at another location in Europe was ever studied to find out what it was made of, But that's a story for another day.

  17. Honestly, I'd say that, if anything, being frustrated, alienated, and disinterested in my peer group is actually a good thing, for myself at least. I have no reason to get involved in the pointless idiotic 'let's have fun!' activities at school, and can instead focus on what I'm actually paying for. Taking my classes, LEARNING, absorbing new knowledge, and getting good grades. At work, I don't waste time with unprofessional stupidity like gossiping, small-talk, 'making friends' with co-workers. I FOCUS on the job I'm being paid to do, and that's it. I'm curteous and polite to customers, yes, but I'm not one of those stupid people who tries to be 'chummy' with every single person, getting involved with their lives, asking horrendously personal questions while taking up time that can be better spent properly serving them. So what does that mean? While 'normal' people are wasting time with silly 'friendships' with people they truely have nothing in common with other than going to school at the same place, getting involved in 'let's make friends and make school fun' stupidity when they could be using that time for something that actually matters, I'm studying, and getting good grades with ease, and learning things that will help me in the workplace in the future. While they're being lax, chit-chatting, trying to make friends with customers, I'm being an efficient worker, doing the work several of those other people could have done if they actually put more than the bare minimum of interest in their job.

    I must say that I have to agree with Malevolence. I live in a rural area where most of the kids my age are doing illegal activities/acts which could mean serious trouble, So me being a bit anti-social has actually done me good since I'm not involved in anything illegal. The only thing that I must say is hard is trying to talk to people my own age about topics that most kid are into and that is why I enjoy bzpower because here I can talk about bionicle with people who actually know what i'm talking about while still being stuck here. Malevolence is also right about being able to focus better, I have been able to focus on my school work and i am currently the student in my senior class with the highest grades. So in all reality my Disorder is a blessing for school and work. I do have more disabilities than i have listed but i really don't want to list them all so That's why I i'm only referring to my Asperger's.

    bah, too many posts to quote and/or read. I Have asberger's syndrome, and actually have nver heard the term "aspie" before, and now that i have heard it, dislike it. A big a fan of History and the history channel, as well as bionicle, and video games. oh, and portal.........I <3 Portal when i had problems with a certain person whose description bypasses the word filter, i would listen to still alive... if i didnt have my ipod, i would sing still alive. if that would be too embarrassing, i would whisper still alive. if people got annoyed. i'd tell them to shut their ugly faces and then i would hum still alive. THATS how much i love portal. and i've listened to still alive over 300 times, according to itunesand still aive is 2 minutes 56 seconds long. 2 minutes 56 secs(216 seconds) x 300 = 68400 seconds of listening to still alive, divided by 60 seconds per minute, = 1080 minutes, / 60 minutes per hour, = 18 hours of the song

    I've never heard of the "Aspies" term before and i was in several treatment centers And still never heard it so it's new to me.
