I really like this revamped Vakama, and I like the use of the Arthron, it really does look like a Protector mask, but obviously it's a bit "extra". The Dark/Metru red is nice too, regardless of this being due to the colour's abundance or homage to Toa Vakama. I also really like his staff, the way you put the fire together is really nice. I hope to see more revamped Turaga/ Old Masters in the future.

I really love the Gen2 Takua. Especially the little blurb, "he's stealing all my stuff". I mean, he looks like a typical Protector, so there's not much to say, but I do like the staff, and I like the colours. I didn't expect them to blend well, but I think the transparent parts somehow just meld better than opaque ones. I hope he actually makes a comeback, and is actually in a Toa of Light saga. He probably won't be, at least not a Takua form. Who knows? Finally, I would've probably made the launcher a separate weapon on the other hand, make it similar to the Protector of Stone's staff, or put it on an opposite end of the staff, but yours adds an interesting battle mechanic.

Oh man have I wanted physical representations of these guys. I know it's the basic Toa Metru build so I'm not going to say much of that, but I love the way you created these (finally). The knock-off masks work surprisingly well for Gaaki and Bomonga, so good job on making that work. I do wish Kualus was white and silver instead of white and gold, but white and silver had been done before and it's a nice variation. Opposite goes for Pouks. Sadly, I don't really like the look of the Hero Factory helmets on those two. Kualus' neck seems pretty open, and Pouks' mask doesn't really feel like a traditional Kanohi, but there wasn't much you could do about that. I do, however, really REALLY love the spears, kudos on those. Bomonga and Pouks' bulk is also really cool, I like Whenua's Toa tools being used as shoulder guards.

I never knew a lot of the power differences, either. Honestly, what is the difference between Chain Lightning and Electricity? And then there's the whole Heat Vision/Laser Vision Debacle. And the Blue and Brown Rahkshi's powers confused me, too. All in all, it's interesting to finally see these in the flesh. I really like how you didn't change the colour schemes of the Rahkshi, because there are quite a few of them that are pretty awful, but hey, you kept to the canon. I also really love some of the spines that you made, they're very intuitive and I haven't seen a lot of the pieces used in quite a long time. Yes, it pains me that some of these colours and spines were at the loss of some regular pieces, but the end result looks incredible and I'd say it's worth the destruction. Some of the spines seem too large, some too small. Same goes for the staff-toppers. But, there are a lot more that look amazing. Power Scream might be my favourite colour-wise, but I think Accuracy's spine and staff are the coolest (even if they seem a bit large and cumbersome). Lastly, part of me loves that you build these to the original set designs, but I kinda wish someone would translate these to different builds with elbows, but I know your goal with this project was to finally give us visuals of the massive Rahkshi army.

I like the idea of these combiners. It's been a long time since we've had the smaller sets combine into a massive creation, and I like how you're bringing back the Kaita. Between the two of them, I'd have to say I like Ngaire better than Mere. Ngaire seems to be better balanced, albeit slightly. The left weapon seems to weight it down quite a bit, and the legs seem a bit flimsy, but when you only have the sets to work with you don't get the best choices. Mere, on the other hand, seems really spindly. It reminds me more of a Vorox than of a Protector or a Kaita, and the tail seems like it could throw the whole thing off balance. I do like the idea of tails on the Kaita, however. The original Kaita from 2001 were very humanoid, and the Toa Kaita represented ideals like Valor and Wisdom, very sentient things, and I assume the Matoran Kaita would most likely mirror those, just like how they mirrored the actual build by using three torsos to create one. The tails give these combiners a more wild feel, and the Protector sets themselves seem to be more about the importance of nature than of the individual, so I see it somewhat fitting to make the Protector Kaita to be a little more wild, a little more animal. In these forms they are probably more in tune with their elements, and I like the idea of the Kaita being these perfect melds of nature and humanoid. Finally, I really like the names. The only thing I would do to those is somehow find a way to combine the three elements into one, like "Ngaire, Protector of Magma" and "Mere, Protector of Atmosphere", or "Gaia" and "Caelum", or whatever you deem fit. It could even be "Land" and "Sea". Only reason why I recommend this is that "Stone, Earth, and Fire" and "Ice, Water, and Jungle" seem a tad bit long.

The Tarakava were my first Rahi of 2001, so they'll always have a special place in my heart, and I love how you're going through and revamping the Rahi. The teal one was always my favourite so I wish I could've seen a revamp of that, but I'm guessing a lack of teal kept you from doing that one. I never really understood how the Tarakava were lizards or reptiles, so I like you added a much more animal look to it than the original set did, but still managed to retain the original look of the Tarakava. My only complaint would have to be the arms and hands. The arms do seem kind of bland, and I guess this isn't much of a real complaint, because for what they are they still look okay and serve their purpose, but the Mata-feet for its punchy-hands don't seem to be very... full? The foot has the natural opening to it, so the fist/boxing glove look is kind of lost on it. I can't see much of the connection going on in the hands, so I'm not sure if this is possible, but Pohatu Nuva's feet additions, while potentially breaking the colour scheme due to their silver, could be a way to fill in that gap and give it a more Muhammad Ali feel. All that being said, I really love the way you created the head. Like I said earlier, it makes the whole thing seem a lot more like an animal. Good job, love to see more of those revamps!

I've always really liked custom representations of non-set masks. This one is awesome, I mean my heart breaks that a Mata-Green Hau was sacrificed but hey, all in the name of art, right? I also like the use of the Knights' Kingdom faceplate on the lower portion of the "jaw". Maybe I don't do enough looking (which I know I don't), but I haven't seen a lot of pieces from the original Knights' Kingdom line used in MoC's. I personally loved the swords, but those were really the only elements that you could use in a Bionicle MoC, so I guess I understand why I haven't seen many original Knights' Kingdom pieces. At least you were able to use the faceplate for something other than just the set it was intended for.

I was always a fan of the 01 Kaita (even if they weren't the best looking creations), and it's really cool to see someone try and take that design, improve upon it, and translate it into Gen2. Akamai's odd head-hand thing is supposed to be a hammer, which I never understood as a kid either, which maybe they tried to pay homage to that through Onua's combined-claw hammer? Who knows, but I like the spin you took on it, and while it is a bit too silver-y, using parts only from the new sets doesn't always give you the best colours or piece options so it looks cool for what it is. I'd love to see how they'd look with a gold mask, though.

Okay, so I lied. And yes I know this is a double post, whatever. Doesn't matter to me anymore. So, obviously I didn't make a comic. I've been thinking, for a while now, and I think my time here is done. Not just making comics, but also on BZP. Don't get me wrong, I love the site, I love the community, and my best friends have come from this site, but there were two main things that kept me here: communicating with my friends, and making comics. Well, I talk to my friends through different means now, so I don't come here for that anymore. My comics should keep my here though, right? Well, they don't. In fact, it's a job, a hassle, because I know that I won't attract any readers. So, for a long time, the only thing that was compelling me to finish this story was the story itself. I wanted it out of my head, I wanted it out there. But, no one really read it. And I know that getting fans shouldn't be my main motivation for making comics, and it isn't. It is and it isn't. I never wanted to be super famous, not like Gavla or Ennar, but I did want to know that people were enjoying what I put out here. I wanted to know that people thought my comics were funny (and many of them weren't, I know this), or interesting. But I don't think I should continue to ask/bother/force my friends to read my comics because I want to know that people enjoy reading my stuff. If people wanted to read it, they would have. And I'm not angry or upset, I'm just not going to force myself to continue something that I no longer enjoy. I know that my inconsistency with creating comics may be a factor, but my inconsistency comes from this lack of readers who enjoy my comics. On top of that, and this may just be because I don't venture around the forums much anymore, but I feel like the site has died in some respects. At least the Comics Forum. Again, I could very easily be wrong, I just feel like we lost a lot of our more well known comic makers, and I think that the dream of making comics on BZP is gone. A lot of the more well known comic makers have disappeared, but never really announced an official resignation or whatever. I don't know if it's their way of saying "we're not leaving, we're just not here right now", or they simply don't care anymore, I don't really know what it is. All I know is that I'm not going to lie to any of you or myself anymore. I'm done with Comic Making. I may come back from time to time, to read Axe Absorba a Question and Gavla's Comics, but I doubt I'll be posting anything. I love BZPower, I love the community, and I love the friends I've made over the years. I love the memories I'll have of this website, both the good and the bad. I love the MoCs I've seen, the Comics I've read, the Epics I've read, the Short Stories, the Comedies, the one time I RP'd, and the conversations I've had. Thank you, BZPower, and goodbye. I request that this topic be closed.

It's not that he can't, it's that he shouldn't, from my understanding. If Death is able to be anywhere and everywhere at once, create and destroy universes, and transport life between these universes, who's to say that he can't go in and kill? But this also poses the question about all those "Universe Edits" earlier with NewGav/Life. Gavla said that they were the caused by the universe, but why would it edit itself around NewGav/Life? Was Death, the other Death most likely, interfering then as well? Or am I just over analyzing a few similar coincidences and creating a theory on completely faulty evidence?

Hopefully you don't get a load of Daft Punk questions now. And I shall grieve for your lack of fingers.

So I actually forgot that this was a thing, sorry my few readers. I still want to get this story finished so I will make some more comics, it's just that now I have finals approaching within a few weeks. But what I'll do is make a comic by this weekend (it's Sunday so is it next weekend?), but I may take the time after that comic and until the end of finals to have an OFFICIAL hiatus. My last final is May 30th, so it's just another month. But I'm making that comic so, I guess, what, 2/3 of a month? I'll have more time this summer to crank out some comics anyway so hopefully I can stick to my word for once and actually be somewhat-productive YEAH.

Everyone loves a little Eljay in a bottle, am I right? Very funny how LNU had Pinkie ask a question as well/

I forgot how amusing Razor could be, with the Toa sprites and all.

Sorry for lacing two pointless questions with a serious one, but I thought it was only fair to not be a goof the whole time. But yeah. this is fun. Expect more questions! EDIT: You also didn't answer my first question. SON I AM DISAPPOINT and yeah it's probably grammatically incorrect.

Cool to see you return! And using Razor. I like it. We must ask all the questions!
