Bionicle 2008 Images and Discussion

[Jetrax99]

What i see is that on the middle one it looks like a phantoka makuta body piece with a piraka torso covering the spot were the tridax pod is supposed to be but thats what think

Thats not a piraka torso, that's a new chestplate.

[Icesaber]

At least some of the titans look promising: Takanuva and a couple of the flying vehicles actually look okay, and we still have yet to see Maezeka, who is most likely the Conquer of the Visorak Makuta. :-)

Mazeka isn't a Makuta.

Uh... half of the peices used on the canisters sets you mentioned are wrong, notice that Grevious? There are no Metru limbs for feet, and there is no Vahki torso peice.

Uh... half of the comments I made were not definite, since many of the pictures are blurred (especially the Toa) so we can't tell what they look like. I never said there was toa metru feet, I just said it LOOKED kinda like them. Besides, how do you know that they aren't what I said?

But then again, I guess I was wrong on Krika - although from the catalog picture, it DOES look like a Kopaka mask, IMO. :-/

Mazeka isn't a Makuta.

Really? Than what is he? I'm serious; I haven't been browsing the Greg Q&A topic on BZP lately, so I might have missed something. Come to think of it, I remember hearing that the conquer of the visorak Makuta was going to be something special, and not a regular set... sorry, my mistake. :-$

I believe Mazeka is a Matoran: Greg said there will be two more Matoran (one is Vultraz) :-/

I thought Mazeka will be 20.00? And we have yet to see a horribly made combo called Miserax.

[Clonie]

We don't know that Miserix is a combiner. But he probably is.

And apparently the name "Miserix" wasn't based on any word. 8-| Well technically that makes it an original name. :-P

To me, it sounds like its coming from the word Misery. And he did have his leadership taken away from him, and stranded on an island. That would make you pretty miserable.

I don

I don

[JINZONINGEN73]

Miserix's name could be derived from Misery. That's all.

Which makes perfect sense, as "x" goes silent in some words.

Heh... odd... today I was online looking at another action figure (though a bootleg) named with a pun on the word misery:

I dunno... I liked Bionicle names more when they were pissing of the Maori. Now some of them are as silly as "Darth (insert negative word here)" that Star Wars does.

I think we all did, although I still like most of the new names. But, if TLC revoked their "no real language names" policy and started to steal words from some dialect on some way out tropical island, you can bet someone would make a big deal about it. :-P

NO! Not another cruddy matoran on an even more cruddy air speeder! *sing*

thx, something to really look forward to :-D

by the way, we know the 4 'bikers', the 3 toa's, the 3 new makuta's, takanuva and another person...anybody thinks something else may be coming?

i dunno. they say it's the 'final' fight..i don't want it to be the final one >.<

and..if it really IS the final one...they should at least make more then those we already know for now..i won't survive rest of my life with crappy sets as final ones T_T

I agree. All the 'z's and 'x's sound weird, and some names are just weird to say, like "Gadunka".

[Clonie]

I just meant that (according to Greg) when they invented the name Miserix it just happened to sound like misery. So it's a concidence.

Eh, who cares. :-P

In other news, Onua is the worst set ever. |-/

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

In other news, Onua is the worst set ever. |-/ So far.

[Wrinkledlion X]

I like him...

[Spartan_01]

Well I can't really tell what he looks like, so I will wait a while before saying anything. Toyfair is on tommorow!

[Wrinkledlion X]

Well, yeah, based on what I can make out, of course.

First off. Not a bootleg at all. She is a custom Micronaut that is exclusive to members of a Micronauts yahoo group, that I am a member of. ;;D That's not what a bootleg is. A boootleg is when a less than reputable company copies molds and tries to pass their stuff off as legit. This guy didn't do that all. He made custom molds of his own, and states it as a fan-made tribute. Much like a solid 3-D fanfic.

Don't take this as an attack on you, I'm just giving the facts.

[Clonie]

I don't see what interest Onua could possibly have; I'm prepared to not buy him. But at least this proves I don't always praise sets automatically. :P

Was that a Simpsons reference, Zaktan? I like that joke...

[FlamingShadows]

indeed, the toa kinda dissapoint me till now, i think the mahri were more 'nuva' then the real nuva have become =/

Tahu- ninja like? that's SO not tahu (in my opinion) 8-| even with that, ill still get him, tahu is tahu, no mather what kind of real strange armour u put him in

Gali- however u put it, she Was introduced as a female, so they should follow that, by making her so bulky...yuck...just yuck :-X

onua- for what i can see of him, i don't like it. having only one weapon, a cannon, doesn't fit him either.

i think bionicle should have tought some more about the classic Nuva style. these just look like a complete new bionicle story: fail nui

oh, and that's just my opinion, feel free to dissagree

[Icesaber]

So are Axonn, Ehlek, Carapar, Kalmah, and Mantax coincidences too?

Axonn=ax, Axonn has a big ax

Carapar=carapace, he's based on a crab with a carapace

Kalmah=calamari, he's based on a squid

Mantax=manta, he's based on a manta ray.
