Bfahome Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Off topic but did you see the idiotic reviews or Skrall and Klakk on BZP? you can guess there both typical Yanks... You seem to have such a bad opinion of BZPower that I begin to question why you see to keep visiting the site (bringing to mind the word "hypocrisy"). Also yeah good reviews on MoD. I definitely want Strakk very much now. Can you post pics of him with the white torso/limbs? I want to see what that looks like. :O
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 For those that don't know, the Bara Magnan villages include Atero, Roxtus, Vulcanus, Iconox, Tajun, and Tesara.
InnerRayg Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 It'll be interesting to see them..Makes we wonder if they're going to have some of the Glatorian in new forms.. Malum REALLY needs a new form..He's really bad. I must respectfully disagree. He's too short, I'll give you that, but with longer thighs he's really cool looking. I also exchanged his silver Visorak claws for red, but that's more personal preference. I hope we don't do something like the adaptive armor nonsense last year, I want new Glatorians, not magical new forms.
Zarathos Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 For those that don't know, the Bara Magnan villages include Atero, Roxtus, Vulcanus, Iconox, Tajun, and Tesara. Whoa, where did those last three names come from? -Z
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Apparently from BS01. No idea why they're starting to put up 2009 info only now, or how they got those names. EDIT: BIA8 is up! Short, but hints of the Shattering, the gerography of Paradise -- and we may get to see the GREAT BEINGS! -Ikk Edited December 22, 2008 by Ikki o' Moopyville
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Oh, Great Beings... Oh-hohoho... And Gali runs a canoe business. EDIT: And Takanuva's blog... I hope Kapura wasn't one of those Ta-Matoran... Edited December 22, 2008 by Gunnar
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 O hai its de ol' island- WEE IM IN SPACE The Great Sea... The Northern Frost... southern mountains and forests... distant Great Beings... this really is Paradise. -Ikk
Wrinkledlion X Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Forests (Not jungles- I think that's a first), ice, mountains, and those giant lake-organisms. Sounds very primordial. And the gold-banded trees add a nice surreal touch. Spherus Magna intrigues me.
Brickthing Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Now that we know what happened in the Melding alt universe, what didn't the Great Beings get right in the real universe? Did they mis-access the situation, making Toa Toa and Matoran Matoran instead of Toa Matoran and Matoran Toa, or did they just decide to send everybody running away in Mata Nui instead, and let Spherus Magna blow up?
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 My guess is that, in the real world, they failed to save Spherus Magna in time and had to create something large enough to retrieve the scattered pieces of the planet. Still, I doubt Mata Nui was built to do just that... if that was the extent of the problem, the GBs could have simply found another planet to live on. Besides, it seems the Shattering had a large impact on Bara Magna as well. Very intriguing stuff. -Ikk

Very intriguing stuff.-Ikk what a great theory. you think that in the real one dimension, when Spherus Magna Falled, the Great Beings evacuated to Bara Magna?
The Dor Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Well, Toa Haotaus has some new pics of Vorox, some much more flattering pics of Vorox, and a couple Strakk pics. Vorox Strakk It's nice to see how the sets will look in person more. The previous pics of Vorox always made him look funny. These ones actually look good. Edited December 22, 2008 by The Dor
Pencoin Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Sorry guys. Anyway these two updates are funny indeed, and I also lean toward alt dimension at this point.
Mizzeh Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Those Ta-Matoran are gonna fall off his face and into the EO. =P
Hydrobius Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Oh, Great Beings... Oh-hohoho... And Gali runs a canoe business. EDIT: And Takanuva's blog... I hope Kapura wasn't one of those Ta-Matoran... ...I just Lol'd. HARD. After reading the new entry, I got this vision of Teridax (having the sadistic sense of humor that he does) letting the group make it all the way to the surface without killing them, and then... a nice, 40,000,000ft drop to the Ocean below. Assuming he's still on that planet, of course. *Evil laughter* Bionicle really stepped up the violence this year, have they not? Don't get me wrong, though; I LOVE it... makes the story a lot more realistic. Sure, Zaktan is still a bit pointless, but taking the good with the bad seems to be happening a lot with Greg.
Bundalings Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 SIDE NOTE: I've already started on a design for the sand strider contest, I suggest you all do the same while there's still time. The competition for that one will be tough, no doubt. BZPers are gonna be ALL over that. What contest is this? For those that don't know, the Bara Magnan villages include Atero, Roxtus, Vulcanus, Iconox, Tajun, and Tesara. I like the new ones better than Roxtus and Vulcanus. A bit less obvious as to what tribe they belong to. I'm gonna take some guesses... Roxtus = rock Vulcanus = fire Iconox = ice Tajun = jungle Tesera = water “Hmmmm,” said Vultraz. “I don’t think we’re in Karda Nui anymore. Maybe if I tap my red feet together three times and wish real hard …” That made me gag. BAD MOVE, GREG But the rest of the dialogue was good. Reminded me of the MNOLG, for some reason. ~Bunda
Gecko Flu Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 Having a life, I am not much into the whole messageboard thing. Thought it was worth showing these scans however since no one else has posted it yet. Don't ask questions for who I know or PM me for more, it is all I have.
Pencoin Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Oh my sweet chocobos, thanks man! Big cyber Hugs! Kiina is a she. Mata Nui is a winrar! Black snowflake! Skrall shield pattern in the background! Map I tell ya! Yay for generic fire-types. And Earthy Clubs! Edited December 22, 2008 by Pencoin

No tan though =( Loving Kiina -Z EDIT: looks like there are circular movie tie-in stickers on the cans too... Edited December 22, 2008 by Zarathos

Thought it was worth showing these scans however since no one else has posted it yet. Don't ask questions for who I know or PM me for more, it is all I have. Hahaha... it was just a matter of time. And it's not even Xmas. My eyes spy... new (freaking cool) leg armor for two and some sort of pack-in promo? And no gold Ignika mask on Mats. The shoulder armor on Mats looks like the crescents from the Bionicle logo, yes?
Pencoin Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) Hey you are right Jinzo, I like Iggy anyway he looks sweet. Whos going to disturb the children on bzp? I want to see them squirm. Edited December 22, 2008 by Pencoin
Bara Magna Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 (edited) THEY CAN HAS THORNAX LAUNCHERS, NO?? And the backrounds on the canisters are the same patterns as Skrall's sheild!! Edited December 22, 2008 by Bara Magna
JINZONINGEN73 Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 I want a closeup of Mata Nui's (and I think maybe the red guy's?) lower legs. Damn they're cool. That silver seal on them... it looks like the word in the middle is "LEGENDS".
Brickthing Posted December 22, 2008 Posted December 22, 2008 OMG. Now I'm even more anxious, because the scans are good enough to show us what they look like, but not good enough to tell whether they are fail or win. Stronius looks like a beefed up Skrall Ackar looks like a thin Malum Vastus looks interchangeable with Gresh (probably why they where swapped) Kiina is win, because she's female and looks like a feminine Piraka Gelu looks win too Mata Nui looks like either epic win or epic fail. Here's hoping that the ever-changing Brown has become gold for him, because that would give him some awesome parts. No comment on his weapon or the Ignika, because from the quality of the scan it looks like a duck face.
