Scrash

Not according to, you know, canon.Anyway, I didn't much care for the rather rushed ending. I definitely would've liked to have explored the story that the fifth film script would have brought, along with seeing such things as the Element Lords and Baterra in more than the few flashbacks they were in.

There's more pieces per set, though (maybe)!

Best: "[T]here are a thousand ways I could destroy you right now. And 941 of them hurt."— Guess whoWorst: "What do you have in mind, and does it include explosions?"— An uncharacteristically triggerhappy Tahu

Would you be willing to buy me the UN-03 Cybertronian Soundwave in exchange for those Toa Mata?

I'll throw a new one together sometime maybe.

If they're gonna do five (and hopefully continue Breakout), I'd go with Stormer, Stringer, Bulk, Nex, and a new heroine (in either purple, the new teal, or green since we'll have pieces in those colors by summer).

Very quick doodle-type of deal. Really have been wanting to continue to write for Fractures, but I'm left... uninspired in that direction, I guess. Not sure if this is gonna ever become anything, but who knows?---It was dusk on the island. The sun bathed the small beach with warm orange light as it set, its rays hitting a stone face carved from the rock of a series of large cliffs. Waves gently crashed against the sand as seabirds flew overhead. It was a spectacular sight. One of the avian creatures broke from its group, having seen an oddity in all the serenity. It gracefully landed on a large metallic grey cylinder and pecked at the object curiously. Suddenly, a loud hiss and a creak could be heard from the cylinder, scaring the bird away. The rounded edge fell off, exposing its contents.A figure emerged from the mysterious object. He was in a daze, as if he had just awakened from a long sleep, and walked out clumsily. He felt as if he had never taken a step before. After a few strides, he fell down to a knee, murmuring something under his breath. He picked himself back up and inhaled deeply, observing his surroundings all the while. He recognized nothing. Delving into his mind for some sort of memory, he was both surprised and a bit angered to find almost nothing. All that he remembered were fragments, pieces of dreams, but nothing coherent. How could that be? No, there had to be something, he knew. He had an identity, and he could never forget who he was entirely.Tahu, he thought. My name... is Tahu.He walked slowly back to the cylindrical object. A quick look at the interior revealed that it was meant to be sort of transport. Inside it was a type of harness, no doubt where he had been kept all this time, and a set of controls. More interesting, however, were the two crimson objects stored beside the harness. One was a large sword shaped like the flames of an inferno. The other was a type of mask, a sleek shape with two wide slits for the eyes and three slashes on each cheek. It seemed vaguely familiar, as did the sword. He decided that both were his, or else he would not have them in his possession.It was then that a sensation came over him that he had not felt in a long time: thirst. How long had he been lying in the transport? He decided not to think about it and instead walked to the gentle waters of the ocean, knelt down, cupped his hands, and drank. He gazed at his reflection inquisitively.He was a relatively young man of about six feet with fair skin and mid-length dark brown hair. His eyes were a hazel color, a fiery expression in them at almost all times and he sported a black goatee. Most unusual, however, was his attire. He wore a black vest, and over his torso, shoulders, elbows, knees, and feet were pieces of bright red armor. What did he need to wear armor for? He shook his head, having gotten more questions than answers.Stepping into the transport, he grabbed the sword and placed the mask over his face. He let out a long exhale. Somehow, the headgear just felt right, as if he were shielded by some unknown presence. He could not be harmed by the outside world, he felt. Nothing could stop him. That said, nothing could stop him from... what, exactly? What was he meant to do? Surely, he had to have some purpose here in this strange new land. Surely, he had to have some sort of...Duty, he realized. I... I have a duty to... someone. He grimaced behind his mask. Why? Why can’t I... remember?He sighed, glancing over to his left. He saw a sort of path leading a forest-like area. Waves of heat came over him as he walked in that direction. He was satisfied. He didn’t know why, but he liked the heat. Something about it was so intoxicating, so welcoming. The beach soon gave way to an earthen path that split into two directions. One way led to the forest, but the other would take him to what looked like a massive fortress, complete with what appeared to be armed guards stationed all about.Something tells me that I’ll not be so well-received. His right hand gripped on the hilt of his sword ever-so-tightly. Well, I hope for all of us that they’re ready for me.

This, but with the ball joint in place of the open socket.

Well, finally got my first figure in the form of Voyager-class Shockwave. Really cool figure, though I can't help but feel he looks a bit odd with his shoulders always in that sort of shrugging position. Oh well. I'm really looking forward to the Prime lineup, though; the figures look great. I just hope there's a Voyager-class Megatron to go alongside Optimus.

I've got an MEK and silver Great Volitak. I don't really have anything I want other than payment. Would you be willing to just buy them?

Hey, just wanted to know if you still wanted to go through with our transaction. I've got everything ready, but I figured I'd give you some time to get settled into your new place. I'm pretty much ready, just in need of an address so I can ship everything off.

I'm almost showing that same restraint for Metropolis, Pt. 2. Except it's more "my internet activity's so restricted that it's not like I've had the choice." But, you know, whatever.

Or, you know, if it's far enough down the line, it'll end up having whatever action figure style is around then. I think it could pull off using the 2.0 system, though. Most waves of six had the same design repeated throughout (especially later on), so it's not like there would need to be a whole lot of new molds after a while. Still, I guess it begs the question as to how the figures would look just having the skeleton pieces one color and the cladding another, but considering HF's doing well, I suppose it doesn't matter that much.

These were all the rare-ish masks I had. Oh, and I'm sure I had an orange Vahi, too.

It's the darker one, the same shade as the gold used on sets like Takanuva, Toa Iruini, or Lhikan. In the picture, it's directly above the silver Hau Nuva.

I'm really liking the whole Aligned continuity. I don't think I've been this into Transformers since Armada was airing, so yeah, really enjoying Prime, though I have to wait until the episodes are uploaded somewhere to catch up. Also, how are the Cybertronian Megatron and Soundwave figures, to anyone that has them? I've never bought one of the toys before, but these two struck me as looking pretty cool.

Well, Fortis got a sort of upgrade. Maybe the other heroes got something similar to his.

I prefer payment via check or money order, but I'm willing to hold onto it for you during your leave.

Hey, maybe there'll be a second wave. Perhaps we can get Spider-man, Wolverine, and Thor out of it.

Purple and tan would be nice, but I'd also like to see some more cladding and hands in yellow-orange.

Would twenty dollars including shipping sound good? Also, you'll have to give me a little bit to gather all the pieces for the sets. If the price is good, then I'll PM you when I'm ready to ship.

Well, it's not like these are in super high demand, so I think I could maybe try and work out some pricing for you; I'd much prefer just to get rid of some of these sets and take a bit of a loss. I'd be willing to charge four dollars for each Toa Metru, two for Crotesius, and five dollars for the parts and masks, totaling to eleven dollars. I kinda want to stick to the prices for the two Kraahkan and a single Hau Nuva (let me know which variant you'd want), which would be thirty-five dollars by themselves. I'd be willing to sell everything for a flat forty-five dollars and charge no shipping if you wanted the three rarer masks.

Audiences usually demand that the side of good wins in the end. If Bionicle had ended with Teridax taking over everything, there'd have been a storm of backlash from the fandom, likely.

I can offer: [*]Onewa Metru[*]Vakama Metru[*]Tarix[*]Vastus[*]Tarduk[*]Crotesius[*]Dark Green Rahkshi Head[*]Dark Green Rahkshi Spine[*]Silver Pehkui (Norik)[*]Dark Gold Metru chest[*]Metru Matoran torso (I have a lot, just tell me what colors you'd be interested in obtaining)[*]Blue Pakari[*]Tuma's shield (Tuma never had a shield in set form; I'm assuming you mean the Skrall shield?)[*]Black Matoro Mahri blade[*]Blue Gali hooks[*]Silver Kirbraz/Scodonius helmet[*]Two red Metru arms (Do you mean the piece XPlode used as his lower legs? If not, I don't think the short arm pieces came in red.)[*]Red Metru Torso (Again, this piece didn't come in red. You mean dark red? As in Toa Vakama's torso piece?)My main interests would be the red Matatu. Otherwise, would you be willing to pay via money order or check for all of these sets and parts?

Well, if Red Hot Chili Peppers plan on touring through California, I'd definitely like to go to that. Same with Van Halen, since they're supposed to have a new album coming out soon. Other bands I'd absolutely love to see would be Alter Bridge, Coheed and Cambria, and Dream Theater. The best concert I've been to was the Ozzy Osbourne/Slash and Myles Kennedy show in San Jose back in February. Either that or the Tesla show at Thunder Valley in July, which blew me away. The worst... I guess would be Linkin Park, who played at the same venue later that month. I just thought the songs from A Thousand Suns didn't translate well live, and they lacked a certain energy. Plus, having been to a few LP concerts prior, I guess it's not as exciting to hear the same songs again and again.
