MakutaOfWar Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I need that poster, time to plan my heist. In all seriousness I'm wondering if the Nov. Club mag will have a smaller version of that as a teaser. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I don't like how the Mask Of Control look like in the poster. The over-detailing, the long beard and the short horns just didn't look good like in the animations (Same like on Mask Of Creation). The Mask Of Control I want is suppose to been look like this.

GK733 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) I find the long beard very nice feature but the beard itself looks too wide and the horns are indeed too small, but I guess the mask would be quite impractical if they were larger than that. Anyways, it's a blurry and front shot so it's not really possible to figure out what is what's actual depth. After some touches of magic: Edited October 12, 2015 by GK733 Quote
Logan McOwen Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Is it just me, or does Onua appear to lack gold this time? Might just be my wishful thinking, but... Quote
Shakar Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) He does seem to. And the way the tr purple on his body is distributed seems different. Also, someone over 4chan noted that Tahu might not have his gold Skull armour on his shoulders anymore but trap halves instead, like Umarak. Couple this stuff with the different looking MoCo and it gets quite curious. Maybe the sets in the catalog weren't finalized...? Edited October 12, 2015 by Shakar Quote
Toa of Gallifrey Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Tahu confirmed for Magical Girl 2016, can't wait for a 24 episode anime adaptation. In all seriousness, his weapons look amazing. I can't wait to see this in high-res. Quote

Frozen Assasin Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I CAN FEEL DA POWAAAR...of flight, it seems. Also, no gold on Onua and most of the toa appear to have only one color. Maybe...(wishful thinking about one-colored toa). Quote

Guess I know that one anon :D They weren't finalized, although those were CGI renders, there is one thing that at least points that out. Numerous people mentioned that in the final skull sets, there was no weird bar on the sides of the armor like on their prelims. The same bar exists on the leaked uniter Tahu, which means the render is just a prototype. It's best seen in here pointed out by Daler99 on TTV Edited October 12, 2015 by GK733 Quote
Dr_Chronos Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) Looking at Onua's midsection/crotch area I'm pretty positive his chest is still gold. Shame. As for Tahu the gold Skull Cloth addon is instead attached to the Tnr Orange shells on his shoulders. It's a little difficult to see the piece as half of it is obscured by dark lighting, the easiest way to see it is to look for the shape and not the colors. At first I thought the black was a part of Ikir's wing construction, but it actually covers part of the flame piece. Edited October 12, 2015 by Dr_Chronos Quote
Logan McOwen Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I honestly can't see the Skull Creature armour there at all. All I can make out are 5M/4M gold shells. Quote

I'm not too sure of it myself. The piece just seems to suddenly fade to black. I'm only guessing it's the Skull Addon by the shape of the silhouette. Edited October 12, 2015 by Dr_Chronos Quote
Shakar Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Oh yeah, now that I look at the pic on my laptop, I do see the gold on Onua. Aah well. I do like it, it's just that given what I want to use the Uniters and their pieces for, gold wouldn't fit the black character. Looking at Tahu though, in a full frontal position, I do appreciate the new torso a bit more, as it looks less clunky and more slender than I previously thought. I still think a new torso+a printed chest combo would've worked best, especially since Umarak uses the "old solution" in conjunction with the new "buttgear" torso just fine. Quote
Kalhiki Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 (edited) lol. I can't make out squat. I like the Mask of Control. Though the cheeks are kinda weird looking. Chipmunkuta? Regardless, I love how they just put up a poster in the background and go about there business. "Nope. Totally not a 2016 Poster behind me. Pay attention to the contest rules, kids!" Edited October 12, 2015 by Kalhiki Quote
ToaDraco Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 I'm not a fan of the MoCo on the poster, I like the one in Umarak's picture. That one looks more finalized too, although I'm not a fan of the beard thing on it. The horns are way to small on this one and the shape of them doesn't work very well. Also the chin is too square.

Iben Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) I found this picture on Facebook, and if you look closely, Galis propeller isn't the typical piece. It looks a lot more like a combination of the light gray 3 axle connector and the standard double side connectors. -Iben Edited October 13, 2015 by Iben Quote

It looks a lot more like a combination of the light gray 3 axle connector and the standard double side connectors. From the picture, it's seen the left shoulder pad on Gali is actually this part coloured in orange. It's also been used as armor on Lewa's lower legs and shoulder pads on Pohatu's shoulder, but in silver. And also, Is Onua's shoulder pad are actually this part coloured in trans-purple that also appears in Skull Basher? Edited October 13, 2015 by ArmstrongYong Quote
CabooseBM Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 It really does seem that Tahu's shoulderpads attach via magic and well wishes. Quote
TFGuy89 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) You know, I thought that the torso was the Star Wars torso, but on closer look it looks like a new piece! It's thinner at the waist and the "neckline" is a different shape. Edited October 13, 2015 by TFGuy89 Quote

Logan McOwen Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Where'd that image come from o_0 Enlarged x3 using ImageEnlarger Quote
GK733 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Those images don't show much new, Akida is more visible, Gali has chain on the other end of her staff that possibly connects to the Chima/Ninjago miniblade Kopaka has as some people speculated, indeed dark-blue shells on his arms. And for people crying out that they changed the MoCo to worse, I hate to burst your bubble but the MoCo next to the poster is the same as the prelimn one. Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 Nobody told me he had dark blue arms! I wonder if that hints to some darker colors in the summer, kind of odd that he only has two pieces in that color. I swear I thought they were gunmetal. Quote
Fulcrumfan91 Posted October 13, 2015 Posted October 13, 2015 (edited) Seriously...how do Tahu's skull armour shoulders stay on him??? Gali looks like she has a Pohatu claw as a braver on her right arm if you look closely...she is super weird...not sure whether I like it yet Also, Lewa and Pohatu have switched places from 2015. Pohatu looks like he has more of a build now...yet so does Lewa...official pics come oooon surface already!!! Edited October 13, 2015 by lambda_cla3391 Quote
