IC: T. Pecs - Antropolis Alleys "Now just you hold your gotdang horses!" the wrestler bellowed back, forging forward. "This ain't a fair fight 'til I get somewhere I can move."

IC: T. Pecs - Antropolis Alleys The smell was closer now. By now, he could ascertain this was definitely not a Hero he'd tangled with before; this one was new. He growled and pushed forward for the open road, not caring if he dislodged a few bricks with his hips in the process. They had construction companies for a reason.

IC: T. Pecs - Antropolis City Alleyway T. Pecs was walking down the alleyway when he caught a whiff. A familiar whiff. He took a great big saurian sniff to confirm it. Yep, there was no mistaking it; there was a Hero on the trail. He grinned wickedly. Good. He tried to think if this was a Hero he'd smelled before as he headed towards a more open place. If there's gonna be a brawl, he thought to himself, T. Pecs is gonna need some room to maneuver. EDIT: OOC: i... i guess i'm assuming these alleys are kinda big, but to be fair he's probably just squeezing through.

Well, there's really no reason to get angry over anything. Life is just a one-way road to the unfathomable abyss of death, and we're all hurtling there far too quickly to think of anything as worthy of anger. That said, human emotions are tricky, and whether or not everyone thinks anger is an appropriate response, it happens anyway. That's life!

Beware Skull Grinder’s latest minion, the fabled Skull Cooker! He… He… Okay, he’s a pushover. He makes pasta a lot and makes friends. Honestly, just flirt with him a little and you’ll get right past him. (this is the stupidest thing i’ve ever drawn)

IC: T. Pecs - Antropolis City streets T. Pecs cackled maliciously as he rubbed his tiny hands together. As usual, the criminal was getting up to no good before a match. Something flagrantly illegal. "Oh, yes," he growled gleefully. "Soon, you shall see... You shall all see..." He stuck another poster for his match next to the "NO POSTERS" sign.

OOC: That's from a study of a pro boxer. The same article that says that says that a researcher could only attain 15 mph. Which is still faster than this upper limit of 10, but not as ridiculously so.

i can't believe marty mcfly actually arrives today

who told you these lies free the band is the single most important piece of bionicle canon ever produced

I love the design of this forge. It very much captures that strange old-yet-new vibe of Bionicle. The shapes are angled and geometric, with electronic numbers and masks in a factory-like array, yet he's still using a hammer and anvil and just plain old fire like any old blacksmith would.

OOC: Yes, as is apparently Cleatus, the Fox Sports robot.

Now steady on there, pardner. I reckon you're gonna kick dust in a few faces with a rattlesnake like that in yer boot. If'n y'can hold yer horses and listen to the other cowpokes, I reckon this hostility'll simmer quicker'n a raindrop in a desert drought. Now, seems t'me like what these fellers is sayin' is that this here nebula's already got a name, and has fer near 'pon a century now. Seems a bit rude t'just up and demand a new name based 'pon a small crowd's wishes. While I don't reckon I begrudge any one of ya for signin' this here petition, can't say I think much of it m'self.

Alright, let's see here. I've got a villain in mind, though I'm not sure when he should make his first appearance. A friend and I discussed a possibility between this mission and the next, but we'll see. Anyway: Villain Profile: Name: Tyrannosaurus Pecs (commonly abbreviated to T. Pecs) Powers, Abilities, and Weapons: First of all, T. Pecs is big. Ten feet tall at the hip, and 35 feet long from nose to tail. (Not quite his effective length; he holds his front at a slight angle and holds his head up, so his effective length is more like 32 feet.) As such, he is stronger and more destructive than smaller villains, but also less maneuverable, and more likely to be damaged should he fall. Additionally, his top speed is only marginally faster than an average Hero's, and he can't sustain it for longer than ten minutes at a time. T. Pecs has no weapons besides two large, powerful robotic arms. These arms are not naturally his; they are strapped to him and controlled by a small control panel on his chest that he uses with his small natural arms. The arms are powerful, but they offset his balance, making him at risk of tipping forward. He also has a powerful bite, capable of biting through sheet metal. His eyesight and sense of smell are acute, allowing him to potentially see or smell things over a 3 mile distance in clear weather with no visual obstructions/with no overpowering scents. Lastly, he has wrestling training that makes him rather effective in combat, though he's not the best at thinking on his feet. Appearance: Bio: T. Pecs was a bot built for battling in the ring, based on the template of the great predator Tyrannosaurus rex. Designed with a devastating bite and trained in depth in the art of fighting in the ring, he soon became notorious. However, the wrestler soon became insecure in his tiny arms, and invested much of his winnings into a new set of arms. Unfortunately, these arms soon offset his rhythm in the ring, and he soon began to lose more than he won. It wasn't until a fateful battle with Eloise Thumper that he had an epiphany for how to make up for his failures. Though he lost the fight with Thumper, he held his own, and he reasoned, if he can hold his own against Thumper, he can hold his own against any Hero. Thus, he took up a life of armed robbery, busting into banks and stores and grabbing as much as he can in his powerful arms before running off into the night. However, his ego is often his undoing; if the Hero Factory arrives, he will more likely than not drop everything for a match against them, especially if he's fought them before and lost. He also has some tendencies carried over from his wrestling days; namely, he carries around a microphone hooked into his speakers that he uses to address the "audience", often introducing himself in a dramatic and egotistical way. Location: Variable depending on when he makes his appearance. If he pops up at the end of this mission, then on Tranquis VII. If he appears in the next mission, then in the location of the next mission. He has means of getting around. (Being a famous wrestler has its perks!) Let me know if any of his powers needs a nerf; I wanted to include as many attributes of an actual T. rex as possible, but it's possible T. rex itself is too OP, so if any of it breaks the game, I'm willing to compromise by making him smaller, weaker, etc. EDIT: Left a bit out of his bio, sorry!

I am far too in love with the literal money laundering going on.

Yeesh, get a load of all those textures on Tahu. Between four different kinds of armor that only appear twice, each with their own unique texture, not to mention the hideously over-greebled chestpiece, he's not lookin' too good.

Another year, another attempt at the novel I always convince myself I will finish, but never do.

That giant robot... was the American Dream.

That's true, if you only read The Great Gatsby as a bunch of people goofing off, and don't pay attention to symbolism, allegory, etc. It takes some work to understand. Not that it's a perfect book, but just because its theme isn't as straightforward as Bionicle's, doesn't mean it lacks a point.

By that logic, they should make a theme combining spaceships and dinosaurs. Of course they wouldn't. Doctor Who already beat LEGO to the punch. Yeah, but maybe LEGO could actually make their dinosaurs look like dinosaurs.

Stylization isn't the issue. Marlin and Dory were stylized. But they also still looked like the fish they were. Arlo is a design so bland, boring, and unlike the actual creature you wouldn't even find it in the Flintstones.

Yes, it does. Unfortunately, all the care put into the environment just makes the lack of effort on the part of the dinosaurs stand out even more.

I'll try to give it a shot. I don't draw nearly enough Bionicle art.

I will cotton to being a bit of a curmudgeon, I suppose. But the more I see of this movie, the more I hate it. How could the company that made Finding Nemo then go on to make such bland, uninspired animal designs?
