This is getting kind of confusing. ._.

Maybe we should take it one thing at a time? Like, who accompanies MN to the body or how they fall in or if any Vorox follow them.

Yup, I just tried reading 3 pages of missed conversation, but my mind blew when there where 5 colours on the same thought.

Aside from MN, all Glatorian should be new characters, that way there's more liberty with appearances and personalities.

Possibly the group was ambushed by Vorox when the sinkhole opens up, then they all fall onto and island in a dome surrounded by marsh. The Vorox go in the marsh, are mutated and then the team fights off the mutant Vorox and realise not to go in themselves?

pretty boring to have some old characters get mutated/evolve

Yea, this is getting confusing, and I think BFA is right, let's hit stuff one by one.

So they fall in a sinkhole into a GS body

Who goes in [Mata Nui and...]?

Add New Characters, old characters, Agori, Glatorian, Vorox, Skrall, Tahu whatever. Let's get a consensus.

IMO, all new Glatorian+Agori for creativity sake, and all of us get 1 Glatorian+Agori to create each. That way everybody gets a say and involvement in the story, and we get 10 or so of everyone's best ideas. A couple of Vorox also fall in, and are mutated.

@ Tahu, with it being the prototype MU, there is also the possibility of prototype Toa Mata plans given to prototype Artahka.

[The Alchemyst]

Hm, I like the group up idea.

Everyone take a character, either some old one, or create a new one, Agori [with Vehicle or something] or a Glatorian.

Make it set like as a MOC, or really cool in its art form [Vertea and Antrozek. :P]

Someone takes Mata Nui, and maybe a few other recurring characters.

Right now, all our opinions are all over the place.

Antrozek if you have the time to make comics, that would be amazing. @_@

We'll decide on who goes later, but right now, creating characters to Yay or Nay sounds good.

Cyberpunk Ice Glatorian Time!

[Bfahome]

TBH, it's a bit weird to have only new characters. I would mean that MN went alone, only he fell in, or everyone else died. I say at least 2 old Glatorian are in the group. There could be others originally, but they could not fall in or die or something. Like Vastus. He needs to die. Slowly.

Also, Y/N to Baterra or other shapeshifting creatures?

[The Alchemyst]

Eh, Baterra are in the North, and police for the GBs so no.

And I definitely do think we need more than Mata Nui, preferably someone with some character. [Kiina]

Or Vastus, as long as he dies. :P

[-The Alchemyst-]

[The Dor]

I like the idea of all new characters. Lets put it up to vote in the vote thread, k? Also if we do, the character Antrozek drew for me would probably be the one I'm submitting xD

Also I like the idea Brickthing proposed with the Vorox ambushing them at the same time, so we have mutated Vorox and a warning to not drink the water xD

And @Bfahome: Not necessarily. New characters simply means Glatorian (such as trainee Glatorian) who weren't introduced, or characters living in the desert. Possibly a survivor of the Telluris / Sahmad plague could be included? And no to Baterra. I don't think they really should go in.

We need shapeshifters. Weeeee neeeeed themmmm.

Oh, the Creatures/someone can shapeshift [bad].

But no Baterra, that would make the universe explode.

:P

First of all, I think we need a good round number on the number of Glatorian and Agori Present, I'll post it up in the Voting topic.

Then, once we get enough MOCs/Art, we'll start voting for who goes in.

[-The Alchemyst-]

[Brickthing]

Suggestions/Idea-provoking MOCs:

Glatorian

Fire (Will have a custom helmet, don't worry)

Ice

Jungle (It's a 4-wheel long club, just bad angle)

Ice Bird (Cute pets FTW)

Prototype Swamp Rahkshi

[Bfahome]

Prototype Swamp Rahkshi

I like.

6 Glatorian and maybe 6 Agori. I don't think a very large number should go in, depending on the circumstances before being trapped. Because large groups randomly being shot out into the desert makes no sense.

Well remember, they're going to help MN find things to get him back to his body. They're not just going to send out five Glatorian and wish them luck. They're going to send a good number of them, and at least some who know what they're doing.

Also, I'm against the 6 Glatorian/6 Agori thing. It's too… standard.

Well if they were sending out a squad it would not be just a bunch in one big group, and I doubt a big sinkhole would get a whole large party of people over several locations.

[Brickthing]

It doesn't have to be all 6 Glatorian as 6 Canisters and all 6 Agori as small sets. There could be a couple of M&V combo sets as well as Glatorian or Agori vehicles.

Well one idea that was tossed around (by me :P) was that they're attacked by Vorox that follow them, and the fighting is what causes the ground to collapse. If the split-offs hear the sunds of a fight, they're going to come running back to help.

Also, new idea. They bring a smart-yet-shifty Glatorian with them, and when he hears the fighting, he waits for it to end, sees that everyone disappeared, then goes back to the villages with a harrowing tale of how they were ambushed by some Vorox and Skrall and how the others died and how he barely escaped with his life (or won lol).

dangit stop posting when I am ;_;

Also true, but I think it would be better to have different numbers anyway.

If the purpose of this Glatorian is to serve as a reason about why no other Glatorian come to rescue them, then it seems possible. I'd prefer it that the search team that Mata Nui was in was ambushed by Vorox and surrounded, when a sinkhole opened up and cast them through long falling tunnels, before arriving inside a dome. That way, there are no traces up above, and the Glatorian up above don't know where to look for them, but the team is presumed missing, not dead, so they don't give up on MN.

I guess that could be his purpose. I was just thinking of a way that one less Glatorian goes with them. Also, since they only brought him for his intelligence, they'd then be stuck down there without the main brains they had.

But I think it would be cool to have the residents hear the "traitor"'s story, send out a search party (to the wrong location, of course, being provided by him), not find anyone, give up, then later on having a giant robot land on their doorstep and announce that they were free.

And then much beating up of the "traitor".

[The Alchemyst]

Loving the bird and Swamp Rahkshi, they're gorgeous.

And I think not letting anyone know would be the best option.

If the villagers knew, more people would come to help [They're fighters, someone should], making the numbering for naught.

I think something different than 6-6 is also good, however they're distributed in sets, an asymmetric team makes it feel more teamly, and less forced-by-set-numbers.

Also finished my Cyberpunk Ice Glatorian. x3 I'll post pics as soon as the camera charges. ;;

Oh and important:

Should they have Thornax Launchers? =/ I just need some sort of quick answer, so I'm not putting it in the vote topic, unless you guys feel I should. >.>

I'm heading toward no Thornax, because of Tech...

But having ZSLs with Thornax could be different and fits cyberpunk well...

EDIT: What are we doing still up? ._. Lol

[---Vertea---]

I'd like to see three Glatorian, three other "good Guys"

And then perhaps have three of one type of creature, and three of another.

The rest will be included in various "battle-packs".

The impulse sets should have three Agori, and three minor experiments.

Toward the beginning, but they scrap them due to lack of available ammo?

[The Alchemyst]

I meant set wise, but right, Ammo, that makes them completely null. :P

Unless they grew inside? They're twisted fruits, and it's a twisted place...

But setwise, yes or no? It technically makes 'em more set-like, but are they necessary?

I feel like my 47 piece count is low, so that's possibly a reason why I'm asking. >.>

Custom Thornax Launchers could be a possibility...

The impulse sets should have three Agori, and three minor experiments.

I think it would be cool to have the Agori and Glatorian distributed unevenly throughout the sets, eg 2 Small Agori, 1 Agori w/ Bike Cansiter, 1 Agori/Glatorian combo sets and 1 vehicle piloted by a Glatorian w/ 2 Agori piloted turrets.

The remaining small sets would be small bad guys, rahi and maybe a small vehicle.

The canister sets could be 2 Glatorian, 2 Bad Guys, 1 Agori w/ Bike and 1 Rahi.

I'd say no. Long-term they probably won't have them, or they'll at least modify them.
