Lenny7092 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) If you guys have Disney Plus, I recommend people who love Bionicle 2001-2010 and Hero Factory to watch this Lego special called “Lego Marvel Avengers Code Red”, coming this Friday! Here’s the link to the trailer: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=nsTMauyViHI In the special, there are robots that look like Tuma and Mark Surge 2.0 from Hero Factory. I’m glad that Lego is giving Bionicle (specifically G1) and HF more attention nowadays. I tried notifying BZPower news about it through email, but they seemed to ignore me for some reason.

JAG18 Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) Wow! Very cool. I was expecting a brief background cameo, but it looks like he might even get a throw line. "Is that really LEGO?" "You do not want to start that debate." I'm also impressed they made a BIONICLE reference that isn't the Toa Mata or Takanuva. Sure, Tuma was the main villain of 2009 and has minor role in the last movie, but he's not what most non-fans think of when you say BIONICLE. Edited October 24, 2023 by JAG18 Forgot a comma.

Nato G Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 (edited) It looks like there's multiple Tumas running around in the trailer, so I guess whichever studio did this just dived into Lego's old 3D models for some "robots" to use as generic villains. Tuma and Surge 2.0 are weird choices to represent their respective themes. EDIT: Now that I've actually watched the special I'm not so sure about my earlier theory. Both Surge and Tuma have new system-build hands (which somehow use mixel/towball sockets to attach to CCBS ball joints), and there's a bunch of other weird little changes to Tuma's design (including some stuff that's assembled wrong, and some details that are definitely not physically possible with real parts). The changes come across as a little rushed or unfinished in some places. For example, the changes to Tuma's torso mean that the hordika neck ball joints on his upper legs don't have anything to attach to, but they've still been left there. If the goal was to simplify the design for easier rigging of the model, I don't understand why they changed the torso and legs but left all of the spikes and complicated assembly on his back and shoulders.
