We aren't getting a new series of BIONICLE books, but the upcoming novels aren't even part of a series. I think of this as a triumph.

Because of limited money, these are the sets I'm planning on getting as it stands now: Glatorian 1. Skrall 2. Vorox 3. Gresh 4. Strakk Agori 1. Tarduk 2. Zesk 3. Either Metus or Berix (Which do you think?) Titans 1. Tuma

Greg took my advice! He's writing an Agori-story!

So this is how it's gonna work: Many parts of the movies were poorly explained because they were just stupid that way, sometimes. So all you storyline buffs are going to come up with theories that explain these discrepancies, okay? For the Supa Supa Theory Challenge. The best of these theories I'll ask Greg about (Using my incredible powers of persuasion), and if you're lucky maybe it'll become canon. The challenge: Compose a theory to explain how Takanuva was revived at the end of MoL.

Awesome Makuta quote.

What I love about 2009 is that even the black set is brightly colored.

That is exactly, down to the phrasing "crystal and iron," how I had imagined the Great Beings' fortress. Exactly. And another coincidence: I had been planning a while ago to draw a white Makuta Teridax...

Well, unfortunately I've been unable to complete my current epic because of all that's been going on recently- What with deaths in the family, illnesses, Christmas, my birthday, etc. I had been hoping to finish it by the end of the year, but I guess not. So I'll continue it. I have an idea for another epic that I'd like to write soon, as well. Featuring a Vatuka as a main character.

Flying Theme is my favorite theme.

So beautiful.

For those of you unaware, this is Bara Magna. Isn't it beautiful? Yes it is. » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «Now, after looking around a bit you may notice the body-parts of a Great Spirit scattered through Bara Magna. There's a leg west of Tajun, a piece in Iron Canyon, and of course Skull Mountain itself. (Being the coolest tribe, the Skrall get to have the coolest body part in their territory.) Also notable are "Elbow Peak," possibly a body part south of the Hot Springs, and what may be fingers east of Tesara. (Until an official name is given, I'll refer to this Great Spirit as "Rua Nui," which is Maori for "Great #2.") My thoughts on the subject are that Rua Nui and Mata Nui are the "two that must make the three into one." Previously "the two" was a bit of a problem for theorists, but it all seems to be pretty clear now. I don't know why he crashed on Bara Magna, but I have a feeling it was 100,000 years ago, as that would make for a pretty cataclysmic disaster. If I were a Vorox I would totally regress. Your guess as to why he crashed is as good as mine. Maybe his "AI" was a bit buggier than Mata Nui's, and the Makuta inside him (If he even had any) took a more direct approach in taking down their Great Spirit. By just letting him die, maybe. Maybe they weren't quite as clever as Makuta Teridax. Speaking of Mata Nui, though, that silhouetted figure definitely appears to be wearing an Ignika. Just saying. Anyways, some other things on the map that interest me: The Sea of Liquid Sand- Could boats go on it? Could graboids live in it?The prospect of abandoned domes inside Rua Nui's body- Are ruinous, sideways islands still in there?Those weird spikes west of Vulcanus- Probably not too significant, but still... What are they?That purty UDD compass roseThe fact that Roxtus is situated right on Rua Nui's chin- Do the Skrall have a nice view?So yeah, 2009's looking up. I hope we stay on Bara Magna a long time. The whole location shown right here is bigger than all of the Matoran Universe from 2001-2008, so I imagine we'll be here a while.

Anyone think the "besieged island fortress" that Krakua protects is Metru Nui? I've PMed Greg on it.

As it stands right now, I'm planning on getting the Glatorian in this order: Skrall Strakk/Gresh/Vorox May or may not get Malum and Tarix So yeah, I'm having a hard time deciding. In some pictures Strakk looks incredible, and in others not so much. Gresh looks fairly average as far as actual design goes, but the colors are so beautiful they bring tears to my eyes. Plus the weapon(s) and mask look awesome. While Vorox has a very boring torso, his tan makes me happy and I want to support the color with my wallet. Malum and Tarix are both pretty cool-looking and decent sets, but their designs are boring and old... Still, the gold is good on Tarix and if their personalities in the story turn out good enough I may buy them cheap somewhere. (Surprisingly good mask on Tarix, as well. I had expected it to be completely boring, but it looks pretty good in some reviews I've read.) And Skrall's number one because of the colors and the patterning running all over him. Very purty.

You know all the theories going around about Spherus Magna splitting into pieces after the war over Energized Protodermis? ... That's exactly what happened to the Slizer Planet, isn't it?

I want a set with a club, for once.

I'm not sure when it'll get a part in them, but I'm coming up with a mythology for a pre-Matoran race in my epics. I'm thinking that their creation myth will deal with a being known as The Planet Weaver or, in their language, the "Hagru Zadarai." I'm quite happy with the name...

I just realized that Sentrahk has an actual head!

Say what you will about the Kal Saga, but I still think this video has just about the best epic tone and some of the greatest examples of mysticism that we've seen in BIONICLE to date. Man, I miss Templar...

1) Why would the tunnel have needed to be retracted? It doesn't come above the surface of the island. 1. I'm having difficulty explaining what I mean, so allow me to use a diagram. Is the tunnel directly beneath the temple itself a part of the Great Spirit's body (As in diagram A), or is it just a tunnel carved into the stone layer on top, with a hole in the Great Spirit's body at the bottom (As in Diagram B )? If A, I was thinking that the way it would work would be that the tunnel (Really more of a tube in the image) would retract into his body before getting up, and only the pillars surrounding it would collapse- Along with the rest of the landscape grown by his camouflage systems. Then, once he lands somewhere and lies down again, the tube/tunnel comes out and the landscape and pillars are regrown around it. 1) It is a part of his body. Have you read Bink's explanation of what Kini Nui is yet? No one in the OGD has been able to find the explanation, including myself. So are the pillars formed around the tunnel by the camouflage system? That's probably because I didn't publish it yet... it was a conversation I had with Greg. But here it is; I'll also post it in the forums. The Kini Nui was an integral part of Mata Nui’s face, built by the Great Beings, but used more as a “probe” than anything. When he fell over, it was extended to rest on the camouflaged layer of dirt and rock above his face. It kept MN’s consciousness informed of surface conditions and provided a safe route for the Matoran and Toa to access his exterior as needed. If the re-start of Mata Nui had been done in proper sequence, the Kini Nui would’ve been retracted back into its slot on MN’s face. But since the Nuva had to jump-start his heart with the Ignika, non-essential systems were bypassed and it was essentially jettisoned – kind of like the escape tower on the Apollo capsules after they’ve reached escape velocity. - Bink Can it be regrown, though? It seems like it would still be pretty useful. (Also, uh, I kinda liked Kini-Nui... It's rather iconic, so it might be a bit of a loss if it's gone forever...) It would make sense that there was more than one Kini Nui able to be created. - Bink Yay!
