tamaru34 Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 https://www.flickr.com/photos/143785788@N07/shares/4D4UX9 <----link Hi Fellow Windflyers, Tamaru34 here. Have I got a story for you. Last week, I was at my friend's house, helping him clean out his attic. I came across a box of old stuff, and, removing the lid, I discovered, hidden amongst a bunch of random old toys and games... A bionicle. Well, at least it looked like a Bionicle. It looked like it had a lot of the pieces from Pohatu Mata, and the head looked more realistic, like a skull or a stone face. My friend looked over his shoulder at me as I removed the mysterious Toy from the box. "Dude, I didn't know you were into Bionicle!" I exclaimed. "I used to play with those things, but I thought I sold them at the garage sale..." His voice trailed off. "I must have forgotten him. I used to call him Fred." I smiled. "I've never seen this set before. Is it your own creation?" "No." He replied. "It was a gift from my uncle. He used to work at Lego. It came in a canister and all, and I probably have the canister stuffed up here somewhere." I never knew my friend's uncle worked at Lego. I wanted to inquire further, but my friend interrupted me. "You can have it. I don't play with those dudes anymore." He generously offered. "No, I couldn't. Fred's yours." I replied. "Seriously, it's yours. You probably have more use for it." He said. "Thanks man." "No prob." --------------------------------------------- When I got home, I searched bricklink for any bionicle that looked like him, but I didn't find anything. I went to bed, and slept with the mystery of Fred's true origin running marathons through my mind. Do any of you know which set this is? I took some pictures, but I have a low-quality camera. I'm ordering a new one in a few weeks, so less blury photos are on their way! I'll keep searching for clues to the history of Fred. Stay tuned for updates. Evil knows, that hope is afloat. Where life is enslaved, all can be saved. Light will unite, what now darkness divides. Spark the flame of the heart FOR THE FUTURE TO START.

CommanderKumo Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) I'm pretty sure this is a genuine prototype of Pohatu. just look at this image of some prototypes you can actually make this one out (His big hammer can be seen): https://biosector01.com/wiki/File:Proto_can.jpg There are some more prototype images on this page: https://biosector01.com/wiki/Gallery:Prototypes Wow! This is very exciting what an incredible discovery!Something else that I just spotted. Watch this video: At 22 seconds in! It's him! It's actually him! Fred IS a prototype! edit: The plot thickens The photos you posted are actually just stills from the video. In fact the other comment that I missed noticed it too. what going on here?

Cheesy Mac n Cheese Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 (edited) Remember, never take a topic seriously when its name refers to a set or character as a “bionicle.” Edited August 30, 2018 by Cheesy Mac n Cheese 3 My friend went to Po-Wahi and all I got was this lousy rock.

I wonder if any other dudes like these saw the light of day... I don't believe you because you claim to have no idea what "Fred" is. despite the fact that you went through the effort of posting photos of him from the only video on the internet which contains him and confirms what he actually is. 5 My Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClo2J14RKmVtcnoJTv7g6PA , Bionicle films coming soon!

Taria Pakari Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 And I don't believe you because it's such a poor attempt at deceit. Like, did you really think you'd actually be able to pull something like this off on BZPower of all places??? Come on mate, you were just asking to be called out the moment you hit post. This was never going to work and you know it. So just stop before you dig yourself too deep into your hole. Unless of course you want your reputation here to be that of a liar. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
