Tyranide Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 That makes me think of tiny childrens now who are going to fall in love with BIONICLE in '09, then like it until '12 when they'll probably bastardize everything about the Glatorian, and then the children will whine like old fans do now.We'll have passed on the torch to a new set of whiners. Yay. Passed? Does this mean that the old fans will now turn and go away?)) At least we'll lend'em this torch! Mata Nui = Tan. I rest my case. Just... don't... let him be RED. This will ruin everything in '09. And NOT FLYING vehicles will be great. A chariot. A boat. Something else)
---Vertea--- Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Must not calm down... Anyways, does anyone have the complete set list (the old one, with the HPP and stuff, instead of Kaxium...) with the set numbers??? I'm trying to replace the old acronyms with the new names, but I need the list with the set numbers first. Thanks :)~iLego94 IMPULSE 1/Atakus(small) IMPULSE 2/Raanu(small) IMPULSE 3/Tarduk(small) IMPULSE 4/Berix(small) IMPULSE 5/Metus(small) IMPULSE 6/Zesk(small) Bionicle HPP 4 Bionicle HPP 3 Bionicle SHP 1 Bionicle CORE 1/Skrall(canister winter) Bionicle CORE 2/Malum(canister winter) Bionicle CORE 3/Vastus Bionicle CORE 4/Tarix(canister winter) Bionicle CORE 5/Strakk(canister winter) Bionicle CORE 6/Vorox(canister winter) Bionicle SHP 3 Bionicle CORE 7/Stronius Bionicle CORE 8/Ackar Bionicle CORE 9/Gresh(canister winter) Bionicle CORE 10/Kiina Bionicle CORE 11/Gelu Bionicle CORE 12/Mata Nui Bionicle HPP 1/Fero & Skirmix(winter Titan) Bionicle HPP 2/Tuma(winter Titan) Bionicle MDP 2 Bionicle SHP 2 Bionicle MDP 1

VBBN Posted November 30, 2008 Author Posted November 30, 2008 Hmm, I never Imagined Mata Nui as tan. Anywho I'll change the pics to links on the frontpage later on this week.
Mizzeh Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Mata Nui. Tan? Yes. Awesome. 2009 is freaking schweet. The only thing I could think of that would ruin it, though, are the v-somethings. Why can't they just make to-scale structures or stuff like that? The arena they fight in, huts, that stuff. Or titans. Literally, titans. Like, Glatorian that TOWER over all the others. But no..
The Dor Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 (edited) I think Greg has a screwed up sense of the word 'clarify'. -Ikk It seemed pretty clear to me. And an awesome insight into the lives of Glatorian. They are basically mercenaries hired by the tribes to fight each other in the arena. It's kinda cool that they are hired by the Agori. Okay I guess they might not be, but that would be too cool. :P And we now know that the Glatorian are special individuals, and the only ones we know are loyal are the Skrall. Sweet. :D And Mata Nui is tan (or yellow or brown or orange with possible gray accents)? More sweet! :D So so so so soooo eager for next year now. I think that is an awesome storyline base so far. :D Edited November 30, 2008 by The Dor
Bundalings Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Well, we should actually see summer images earlier than we usually see them because of the movie.Remember, we knew what the Vahki looked like in February of '04. We know what the summer sets look like by February anyway because of Toyfair. I think Greg has a screwed up sense of the word 'clarify'. -Ikk my braaaaaains ~Bunda

Cap'n Kopaka Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Thing is-- Who says Mata Nui is tan? It corresponds with the winter tan sets, yes, but keep in mind that the "stone"sets have constantly changed seasonally since 2006: Avak = Brown Hewkii = Gunmetal/Yellow Carapar = Yellow Hewkii = Black/Yellow Pohatu = Orange Bitil = Yellow Vorox = Tan So for all we know, Mata Nui has a good chance of being tan, orange, yellow, some form of grey or silver, or-- unlikely-- brown. I'm not going to speculate until I see some leaked pics :P
---Vertea--- Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Hey Greg! Just wanted to ask something here:1) You said that all of the Glatorian are of the same species, that Skrall is the only one that has a species name, and that the Glatorian would have to earn an individual name. Well, does that mean that Malum, Gresh, Vorox, Tarix, and Strakk are all members of the Skrall tribe, just ones that proved themselves worthy of the title? 1a) Then is Tuma like the 'Overlord' of all the Glatorian? ~Kohila No and no. Allrighty then... 1) Does that mean that Skrall is a member of the Skrall tribe that proved himself worthy of the title? 2) Do Malum, Gresh, Tarix, Vorox, and Strakk have their own tribe names? 2a) If so, have you named the tribes or are the tribe names irrelevant to the atory? ~Kohila I think I need to clarify this a bit for you. The tribes are not made up of Glatorian-sized characters -- they are made up of the smaller sets, and the Glatorian work for the tribes. In the case of the Skrall, their Glatorian are not allowed to work for any other tribe and wouldn't want to anyway, so they are considered to actually be a part of the rock tribe. There are also many more Skrall than there are non-Skrall Glatorian. Buh-Zing. Found this QUITE interesting.
Cap'n Kopaka Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Odd, I'd think Greg would just be like "Can't answer that." But... Weird. Seems like the Agori make up the tribes, and the Glatorian are the leaders? I'm still not really getting if differently colored Agori can belong to tribes other than ones of their respective color-- tan guys in the fire tribe, for example. ... And did Greg say "Buh-Zing"? O________o
iLego94 Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Anyone have the set numbers of the summer core sets??? Anyone??? I'm making a "Catalogue" of all the 2009 sets, and I would at least like the numbers for the sets, so I could start the summer section :) ~iLego94
Antrozek Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 i got a little theory, you think that all tribes got a leader?, you know, Tuma is the leader of the Rock Tribe, there can be more leaders of tribe like a FIre tribe leader?. Kaxium - 8993 Cendox - 8992 Baranus - 8994 Skopio - 8996 Thornatus - 8995 Can be THOSE tribe leaders?, can be like Tuma?, a Titan with simbols and representative Tribe colour?

I think Greg said that they only other tribe leader in the winter was one of the small sets (Agori) . . . ~iLego94
Bara Magna Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 Ya know, Mata Nui could be a color (sort of brown-esque) we haven't seen before: Gold. Now that would be awesome.
Antrozek Posted November 30, 2008 Posted November 30, 2008 I think Greg said that they only other tribe leader in the winter was one of the small sets (Agori) . . .~iLego94 hmmm, if they are not Tribe leaders, they can be Beasts like Skirmix?, THAT WOULD BE CRAZY!
ShaddowCroc Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Well,it's become a BIONICLE habit for there to be a set that comes/rides a beasty thing. I personally hope that they're beasts. And that Thorantus is a plant. That's be awesome.

---Vertea--- Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I hope an monster Plant covered with Thornax My first thought is a being that works specifically with the Thornax. It comes with the titan-sized figure, two Agori slaves, and a plant loaded with Thornax
Antrozek Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 it can be that The Thornax are a fruit that it is born out of the body of a Beast?, and that have that To remove it of the Beast to be able to eat them? And when the Thornax are really madure, the Beast (Thornatus) can use them for defend Himself? The point is... THORNATUS = BEAST THORNAX = FRUTE THAT BORN IN THE THORNATUS BEAST THERE CAN EXIST A THORNATUS SPECIE it's only a supossision
Cap'n Kopaka Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Or... Teridax =/= Tridax Axonn =/= Hydraxon Similar names aren't always related ;)
Brickthing Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Thornatus would probably be some kind of beast that is very spiky. In a gladiator fight, as epic as giant killer plants can be, they are rooted to the ground, so that takes away playability for the target audience straight away, especially for a large set. And a walking plant is not a good idea.
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 But the ents! They were cool! If we don't have a walking plant, though, maybe they could have a mobile plant that moves Biollante-style, like at the end of this video.
ShaddowCroc Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 I think I've figured out the perfect way for BIONICLE to end. We go back to the Matoran Universe for a year, Mata Nui and Teridax have the epic battle that was always supposed to happen, Mata Nui pushes Teridax into submission (But doesn't kill him.). Then Mata Nui completes his mission/destiny, but in the process is knocked out. Then once again he lands on the Endless Ocean Planet, asleep. The Toa Mata are redeployed, and Teridax takes this oppurtinity to harrass the Matoran of the new island of Mata Nui, where it starts aaallll over again. Wouldn't that be epic?
Makuta'sdarkslave Posted December 1, 2008 Posted December 1, 2008 Well, hopefully I'll be able to get these sooner than later, considering apparently all my family's already gotten me random stuff... I like the fact that none of the sets have the big ol' bunch of silver parts, which I find are way too annoying... Anyways... Yeah... I forgot what else I was going to say...

ZOMG, THAT WOULD BE SOOO EPIC!!! O_O It would also be epic, but quite improbable, that the dead characters would be resurrected, just to show the restart of everything. Or maybe not resurrect them, but how about having similar characters? More Makuta, more Toa, etc.?
