Mask_of_Death Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 ...Are Tahu and kopaka "titan" sized? Tahu seems to use the 2.0 chest piece for leg armor, so that might be the case. With this news and the soda I just drank, I'm literally shaking with excitement! Quote
Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Yeah, loving the extra kanohi. Also, ty for the larger pic Aanchir, it seems like the lavaboard piece has the pyrox flame piece slotted inside it. I like that Kopaka repurposes it as a weapon too, it looks like the staff his Nuva form had :) Quote
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Yep, and Lord of Skull Spiders comes with a mask that matches the ones used for the bodies on the Skull Spiders themselves. And yes, the Skull Spiders have articulated legs! Woot! Are those BOOMERANGS Pohatu is wielding? :D Edited July 25, 2014 by Aanchir Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Alrighty. The defenders all look pretty nice, and the same masks doesn't really bother me. They all have enough differences to set them apart, but the same mask makes them seem more like a team. The Toa all look great. Seems like there's also some more detailed pieces (Tahu's lavaboard) alongside the regular CCBS. I like. And the weapons aren't too bad either. Onua with a hammer seems quite fitting. Specific things I noticed: Fire Defender has a shoulder mounted gun that looks like a Cordak Blaster. Onua appears to have a larger chest (definitely still the "strong man"). The Defender's masks look like Jaller Mahri's mask (forgot the name). Can't really say much else that hasn't been said. Quote
TheGreatSpirit Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I swear I see a new torso piece in a sort of Bionicle style... Quote
Zenerius Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Bonklez r bak. Everyone on the Hype Train? Because we're heading for 2015 and we've got no brakes. Edited July 25, 2014 by Zenerius Quote
Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) wait... a mask you can strap legs to and turn into a spider?! Words cannot express how much I love that XD. Also, on the close-up, I notice that Kopaka has two little holes in his forehead, that look like they can attatch lightsaber sized pins. I'm also seeing a LOT of pyrox flame recolours in the defenders. Ad yeah, I se a new torso on at least the fire defender too. Looks to be of quite a Bionicle-like aesthetic.

Kalhiki Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 ... Now that there's this, I don't really mind if we don't get a Comic Con reveal. Quote
Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 remarkable what a colour printer can do, isn't it :P Quote
TheGreatSpirit Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Aaaaaaaannndd the TTV link has already been removed. That was fast. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 From a branding perspective, I'm REALLY glad they stuck with "LEGO BIONICLE" rather than just "BIONICLE". :) Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 GUYS! It might be a trick of the camera, but... Look at the Defenders. Does it look like there's a twist in their abdomen? Like, their shoulders don't line up with their waist? Hopes might be clouding my vision, but... Waist articulation...? Quote
Risgrynsgrot Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Since he's reaching for the mask on the big stand, and clearly has a hand, do you think we'll get actual hands for them? I was thinking that they could have hands similar to the new Hero Factory Queen Beast: http://cache.lego.com/media/nxtlog/6eeaf494-e268-4a12-bf30-05b0f74607ea/440x330/QueenBeast3.png Quote

Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I doubt that's waist articulation. remember the bending limbs on Tahu mata's canister art? The feature will probably not make it to the actual set. Quote
Chro Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Still think it's a hoax, Dorek? lol Yep, and Lord of Skull Spiders comes with a mask that matches the ones used for the bodies on the Skull Spiders themselves. And yes, the Skull Spiders have articulated legs! Woot! Are those BOOMERANGS Pohatu is wielding? :D Pretty sure the Skull Spiders are basically just Black Phantom's Arachnix. And yes, I think so. GUYS! It might be a trick of the camera, but... Look at the Defenders. Does it look like there's a twist in their abdomen? Like, their shoulders don't line up with their waist? Hopes might be clouding my vision, but... Waist articulation...? Yes, it does look like that. But keep in mind that for years, in CGI images that do not depict the actual sets with 100% accuracy, constraction sets have been depicted bending in impossible ways, such as Vakama Metru's weird shoulder articulation. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Pretty sure the Skull Spiders are basically just Black Phantom's Arachnix. And yes, I think so. Build-wise, yes, but they seem to have a different piece for the center (with eye holes so it can be used as a mask). Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Yes, it does look like that. But keep in mind that for years, in CGI images that do not depict the actual sets with 100% accuracy, constraction sets have been depicted bending in impossible ways, such as Vakama Metru's weird shoulder articulation. That was back in 2004. I don't recall ever seeing impossible bends in any recent Constraction sets. I'm skeptical about waist articulation, but the pictures and the possibility of a new torso makes me hopeful. Quote
Zenerius Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I was thinking of something..... Perhaps the new spiders could be like headcrabs? Since they use the same part as a kanohi, they can latch on to the face of an adversary and take control of them. Quote
Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) that would be a nice call-back to the kraana... Edited July 25, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote
Shakar Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Do Onua and the Earth D. feature.. ..trans purple? I wouldn't mind purple becoming a staple of Earth sets at all. Onua lacked a bright, exciting secondary colour and tr. purple is reminiscient of cave crystals. And is Gali azure? Not bright blue like Surge? Oh boy, this is becoming more and more exciting by the minute... Quote
Mask_of_Death Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I wonder if VBBN will get early review sets, like with Hero Factory's Invasion from Below and Chima's Fire and Ice line. I don't see any reason why not. I was thinking of something..... Perhaps the new spiders could be like headcrabs? Since they use the same part as a kanohi, they can latch on to the face of an adversary and take control of them. Like the Infected Kanohi, Krana, Zamor spheres, Shadow Leeches, and Brain Slugs? Lego sure seems fond of that theme in constraction. Quote
Zenerius Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 All of the defenders appear to feature the small beast feat from Invasion from Below, as well as identical kanohi. Collectable masks? Quote
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I wonder if VBBN will get early review sets, like with Hero Factory's Invasion from Below and Chima's Fire and Ice line. I don't see any reason why not. But early to be thinking about that! It's not even fall yet! Quote
TheGreatSpirit Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I wonder why all the Toa have a bit of gold... and why do all the defenders have the same mask Only thing I don't like is is that there is apparently just the one villain (like the leaked names suggested). Oh well, maybe thats the focus of the summer wave. Quote
