TheBrickPal Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) This should be better: http://mixels.wikia.com/wiki/File:Bionicle_teaser.png Sorry! Edited October 28, 2015 by Puffle Pal26 Quote
Shakar Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Nevermind, Tahu's lower leg shells are red. I can already tell that Ikir's head just sits on Tahu, so I guess that yes, Piraka Syndrome confirmed. Do the Creatures even have glowing eyes, though? Tahu's got 6M trans orange bones. Hooray, another length for that colour! Umarak's bow is nowhere to be seen (despite being mentioned), and the minigun is hanging from a chain attached to his blade. How odd. His mask is less deer-like than I thought, but I still like it. Edited October 28, 2015 by Shakar Quote
Bbrink1996 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 There is mention of a Mask of Unity there. Wonder if it means anything? Also, Umarak's mask is pretty cool if a bit generic looking. Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) The gear on the lower torso is very apparent here, and Umarak's torso is so complex, I love it. Also Umarak's mask looks like it's just different 'materials' crafted together, G2 Karazahni? Maybe that's his reasoning for wanting the MoCo, and he needs the Creatures for it. Wait maybe not since we know he's employed my Makuta. He also looks more black then I had previously thought, instead of gunmetal, which I approve of. Edited October 28, 2015 by MakutaOfWar Quote
Shakar Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 (edited) Someone on 4chan pointed out that's not a minigun, but one of those wheel pieces. Maybe it holds the extra 6 studs? And now I can see the waist mechanism. Tahu's hips with balljoints are silver and there's a second black piece with a visible gear attached to it. Also no yellow knobs confirmed, thank you designers (because I won't have to replace them). Tahu looks so odd with a red mask. Gold really feels like his main colour this time.

Dorek Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Oho, very cool, a teaser from next month's mag? Wonder how they managed to get that. I'm definitely looking forward to Umurak, he seems like a worthy BIONICLE villain. Quote
Fulcrumfan91 Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Oh wow...Umarak, Tahu....they both look so good!!! Any other pics available for the other Toa?!? Quote
The_Fiery_Rooster Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Best quality picture is on the lego club website. There you can pull up a digital version of the issue. I love the technic torsos! You can see how the shadow traps are built too. Quote
Aanchir Posted October 28, 2015 Posted October 28, 2015 Oh wow...Umarak, Tahu....they both look so good!!! Any other pics available for the other Toa?!? Nope, this is the only Bionicle teaser in the November-December magazine. Once 2016 actually gets started we can probably expect some more in-depth features on the sets. Quote
Kalta the Noble Mind Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 is there a filter or reformatting thing going on? cuz regardless of which resolution i click i just get the tiny thumbnail:( Quote
TheDesuComplex Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Umarak seems to use a custom torso build. Not sure where the gearbox his head and shoulders are attatched to comes from, but looks new. Maybe it is a Gearbox used on the Creatures? I think it's the new piece used on the Creature's chests! I think the Toa use the top half of the 28 tooth turntable on a new custom hip piece. Umarak and Tahu include 6M bones in their respective transparent colors, both new. Called it on Tahu! Umarak's mask still looks mangled, but is in silver now. Yes, Umarak's sword has the extra studs hanging off of it. Nice addition in my opinion. The 'Shadow Traps' (name confirmed, another thing I called!) use a clicky-hinge to snap shut. Really hoping that the Creatures heads attatch in some way but looks unlikely now.

TwistLaw Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Friendly reminder that we got more more sets with golden pieces in one year of G2 than in 10 years of G1 (excluding playsets). That's the only real complaint I have about G2: too much freaking gold. It's now an ordinary colour. Sigh. Quote

Kalhiki Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Those Traps are pretty big now that I look at them. Lookin' good, overall. Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Quote
_shaddow_ Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I just realized Ikir (and probably Uxar, since they share their build) has a wing flapping gimmick. That's pretty cool since it still retains the wing articulations. Quote
Fulcrumfan91 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Has anyone noticed that the bottom of the pic says that you can get more information about these new sets on the bionicle website? I wonder if this will be available this weekend once the mask maker contest is concluded. I think Umarak is pretty cool, but I'm still not sure about Tahu. I like all the trans-neon orange pieces, it'll make him look much more fiery...but I'm not sure about all that gold. It's very noticeable now....hmm.....it'll be interesting to see the other combinations/toa. Quote
Ngoc Nguyen Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) So Tahu has both arm swinging and torso swiveling? I know he has to has torso swiveling ever since I saw that 4M axle at the end of his right sword. Wait but if he has arm swinging then the creature can't attach to him, because of the upper knob? Edited October 29, 2015 by nguyengiangoc Quote
ToaDraco Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) As someone who is obsessed with black and green, I really like Umarak's new color scheme and he looks even better than the prelims. His mask isn't as dear-skull like as I expected but it still looks cool. Tahu looks good, if not way too gold. I really like how the shoulder armor and torso armor look together in the small image of pre-united Tahu. I'm still not a fan of Tahu's swords even though it is neat that they added a stabbing function to them. The trap pieces are larger than I thought they would be and they look great as shoulder armor. I also like the runes on the sides of Ikir's head. I can't wait to see better pics of Onua and the other Toa united with their creatures. Edited October 29, 2015 by ToaDraco Quote
Aethersprite Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Those Traps are pretty big now that I look at them. Lookin' good, overall. Not much to say that hasn't already been said. Agreed, they look huge! It seems Lego is trying to go for the tattered battle-worn look for Umarak. I'm not sure I like that, especially with the smooth CCBS shell pieces breaking up the roughness of his overall look, particularly his thighs. Here's hoping he looks better in-hand. I don't really mind Tahu's gold - with the trans-orange, he really looks like he's on fire! Though it's odd that bar the pins, he only has 3 red pieces - his mask and the two 5L shells on his legs. Edited October 29, 2015 by Lockon Stratos Quote
MakutaOfWar Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 This might have been brought up, but do the Creature's have eyes or not? The glow from the catalogue pics almost looked like a rendered effect, and on this new picture, as well as Kopaka/Melum's, they seem absent. Additionally it seems there is a protruding feature on Ikir's "mask" that may represent eyes, Rotor-syndrome I suspect. Quote
bacem Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Nice! Those two looks good so far. And it seems this time they didn't use yellow or red for the mechanism knob, which is a good thing. Quote
DraikNova Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Ugh. That technic mess Umarak's made of is disgusting-looking. But those glorious tr. apple green 6m bones... And why is there a random upper part of an XT4 torso sticking out of Tahu's behind? Nice to see Umarak has a tan for his head piece. Also, I like how they used "evil predator" in a picture that includes a heroic bird of prey. Personally, I'd have preferred Umarak's mask to be black. And the new blade still looks like yet another person stole Furno's blades. That's like the fourth time now. And why doesn't Ikir have eyes? Is it like a "blind seer" kind of thing? Quote
TFGuy89 Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I have to say, from this angle, Umarak's legs look much better. I can sincerely say I have no problems with them at all now. Quote
Takanuinuva Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I think Ikir has a new technic piece. Its this just with one axle sticking out. http://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?P=10197&idColor=85#T=C&C=85 Now if we could get one like that but with the pin hole replaced by an axle hole. Oh right the actual sets. Tahu has way to much gold and not enough red. He's becoming the Rocka of Bionicle G2. Umarak looks ok but still don't like the legs or horns. Ikir actually looks really cool. If Uxar doesn't have any trans apple green bohrok eyes like Lewa I'll get Ikir instead. Quote
YellowCorvette Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Umarak's mask looks great and he looks good as a action figure. Tahu still has way too much gold and his mask looks odd. Quote
