Holy Diver Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 "Skrall live for battle and fear nothing." So the Skrall are Bionicle Spartans? Tuma: Tonight we dine in hell!
Bundalings Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I like the Nynrah, too. Even thought they're pretty big they're fun to play with and they don't weigh a ton. If Mata Nui is gold and white I'll shoot myself someone else in the foot. I want him to be something interesting, like green/tan or blue/tan. ~Bunda
Zarkan Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) Awesome new info. It looks like the Agori are going to have as major roles as the Glatorian. Sweet - I think we know some tribe names now!Rock - Roxtus Fire - Volcanus Not to mention the name of the Glatorian arena - one description mentioned it was called "Atero." Seriously, I am really digging these new names. I dunno, I'm diggin' the new ones. Thet're not as big and annoying... strictly a projectile launching device.But they're not... you can actually use them as building parts, way more easily than with Zamor launchers. I think I like these Thornax ones most, with the one Zamor cannon Ignika came with second, for it's (symmetrical) bulkines to use in larger mocs. Wish I had a bunch of those... Seriously, the Midak owns all other launchers at their actual function - it can hold four zamors in it's shaft and can fire them very powerfully and far. Sure, the Inika Zamor launchers can do this too, but they never looked cool like the Midak do. One more thing - Amazon mistakenly refered to one of the sand characters as "an earth tribe member," but as we fans know, earth is not an element on Bara Magna. Edited December 10, 2008 by Grevious
Nightmare Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 By the way, don't know if it's been mentioned: All 2009 Canister sets appear in the movie for sure. Some will have prominent roles, some won't have very protagonism - But they're going to be all.

Also, Zesk is mislabeled as 'this member of the water tribe'
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Battles will be won with his arsenal of 3 blades with Skrall tribal design So they are unique to the Skrall.
Bundalings Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 No, the Rock Tribe. Atakus and Tuma also have them. And Fero. I guess he plundered them, or something. ~Bunda
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) Yeah, whatever. I think Fero is an ex-Rock Tribesman. ACHH! LAME: I think you guys are thinking it will be a humanoid! Greg has simply said Mata Nui will return in 2009. I think it will be like a Black scorpion with golden plates and a silver Ignika. My imagination is really blowing this out of preportion! LOL!

hewkii9 Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I think the nice big LOL! at the end gives the idea the gravitas it deserves.
Bundalings Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 That would be nasty. I'm all for a set like that (minus the Ignika, of course), but as Mata Nui? Please no. ~Bunda
Brickthing Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Quite frankly, the fact that Mata Nui is referred to as "Toa Mata Nui" in 2009, suggests to me that he might look like a Toa.
Zarathos Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 (edited) And he probably will look like a Toa. I just pray it doesn't end up being Toa Ignika with a few minor tweaks. TLC wouldn't let us down like that, right... ...right?!?! *cough*Mistika*cough* -Z Edited December 11, 2008 by Zarathos
Bundalings Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 If they use a Piraka torso at all I'll be angry. I hate those things. Same for backwards Inika torsos. I can excuse it on Vorox, because he's tan, but on anyone else... D=< Actually, I don't mind the Piraka torso on a couple sets. Namely Kalmah. ~Bunda
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I hope Mata Nui is a yellow and lime set where every limb is a piraka torso. Also, he has no hands or feet, only Cordak Blasters.
---Vertea--- Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I hope Mata Nui is a yellow and lime set where every limb is a piraka torso.Also, he has no hands or feet, only Cordak Blasters. you. are. terrifying.
Bundalings Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I hope Mata Nui is a yellow and lime set where every limb is a piraka torso.Also, he has no hands or feet, only Cordak Blasters. And the lime is from the sucky batch. Also; it would be Keetorange, not yellow. ~Bunda
Makuta'sdarkslave Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I hope Mata Nui is a yellow and lime set where every limb is a piraka torso.Also, he has no hands or feet, only Cordak Blasters. ROFL-COPTER! XD Make sure he's covered in randomly placed silver weapons. ~Makuta'sdarkslave
The Alchemyst Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 I hope Mata Nui is a yellow and lime set where every limb is a piraka torso.Also, he has no hands or feet, only Cordak Blasters. And don't forget the ammo sticking out everywhere irregularly. Or the fact that he'll have no chest armor whatsoever. And Entire Metru Legs for Legs and Entire Inika Legs for arms. Oh boy, I can't wait for this Mata Nui! [-The Alchemyst-]

Brickthing Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 He also needs to have the longer eye-piece, and a Gali style neck so that there is no way that he can look up, and his arms need to be asymmetrical, with different shapes and colours on either side. Plus, there needs to be extensive use of red and blue pins, and a newly introduced green pin, because the black ones of too hard to find. Finally, Mata Nui needs to come in a SE Toa Mahri style canister.
Refia Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 And he probably will look like a Toa. I just pray it doesn't end up being Toa Ignika with a few minor tweaks. TLC wouldn't let us down like that, right......right?!?! *cough*Mistika*cough* -Z Why not? Toa Ignika was the only decent Toa set last year (save Takanuva and perhaps Lewa Phantoka), IMHO. I still dig his shoulder armour. A better torso would be welcome, however.
Phantoka_Chirox Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 He also needs to have the longer eye-piece, and a Gali style neck so that there is no way that he can look up, and his arms need to be asymmetrical, with different shapes and colours on either side.Plus, there needs to be extensive use of red and blue pins, and a newly introduced green pin, because the black ones of too hard to find. Finally, Mata Nui needs to come in a SE Toa Mahri style canister. He should have no melee weapon
Mizzeh Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Wow. That was yet another crappy excuse for an update today. Frankly, I'm seriously disappointed in the lack of COOL updates that Bink does. Ugh.
Pencoin Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 Building it up man... were getting 2009 on monday!
Nightmare Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 You guys want to check this out. (And he promised scans. Maybe we'll get some decent pictures at last?)
