Bfahome Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Hey! Thornatus has silver Krika heads!Cendox has yellow Takanuva blades! Awesome. Some nice pieces showing up. Kaxium also has white (fading to blue?) Pohatu Phantoka arm pieces just behind the leading wheel.
Brickthing Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Let's not try too get too hyped about new parts though - Gresh had lime green Nuparu claws.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 Let's not try too get too hyped about new parts though - Gresh had lime green Nuparu claws. MATA NUI HAS GOLD IGNIKA WOOT WOOT Ahem. On a completely unrelated note, I love this ongoing search for the Book of Certavus. Reminds me of the fabled Book of Thoth of ancient texts... -Ikk
Brickthing Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 MATA NUI HAS GOLD IGNIKA WOOT WOOTAhem. On a completely unrelated note, I love this ongoing search for the Book of Certavus. Reminds me of the fabled Book of Thoth of ancient texts... -Ikk I think it was just a reference to the Secret of Cervatus book, just to make the book make more sense when it comes out. Greg's already reassured us that it has little storyline importance.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Isn't it possible the Secret of Certavus tells the tale of someone finding the Book of Certavus? That'd make sense to me... maybe it's even the scroll Vastus was reported to find in one of the other level 3 readers. After all, an item which only figures in a L3R and a serial would be of little significance to the main story. -Ikk
Bundalings Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Tan Avtoran jetpacks on Cendox V1? That is WICKED. They're silver. The slight tan coloration is a reflection. 1) They're too shiny to be tan. 2) They aren't tan enough to be tan. =P Vastus uses lime tanma legs :thumbdown No, his arms are Metru legs and his legs are Hordika legs. No Tanma legs present. yay Hey! Thornatus has silver Krika heads!Cendox has yellow Takanuva blades! 1) w00t 2) I think that's the new piece that's on Mata Nui's shoulders. Note the fact it has no holes. Awesome. Some nice pieces showing up.Kaxium also has white (fading to blue?) Pohatu Phantoka arm pieces just behind the leading wheel. I think it's silver. The rest of the vehicle is... white would be nice though. =/ (but not if it was the only piece that color...) Some quick thoughts, in order. READ THEM Thornatus: A bummer. I was hoping for a Thornax Mother Plant. ;_; The tan is good but really, this is Jetrax with some tacky wheels nailed on. Hopefullly this one is very, very preliminary. On the plus side it looks delightfully rickety. The only vehicle (besides Cendox, maybe) I could see this primitive culture building. (I know that the vehicles are leftovers so the high tech-ness of the others doesn't bother me.) Skopio: LOVE Treads. Treads. TREADS. I <3 treads. This set is huge and beautiful... I waited to get axalara on sale. I might not be able to wait for this one. The only thing I don't like about it is the colors. Red is somewhat annoying to me at the best of times... but... this is just lame. I already have all those parts in red from Axalara! Drat. Orange rider is meh. (Color wise. I can't tell much about design.) Preferably, this vehicle would be tan with a blue rider. Alas. Cendox: More treads! yay Now I have no reason to get Tuma. I can get my black Brutaka blades right here. Driver is boo. Too much like Vultraz. Vultraz is awful. Also: Second red driver. Bummer. Kaxium: Looks like two motorcycles driven by Agori that can merge and split. Cool, I guess. This is the least "Bionicle" of the sets here... just as much as the Destral Cycle, which I hate for that reason. Luckily for Kaxium it pulls off the motorcycle look better than the DC did, so I'm kind of meh about this. Don't get me wrong, it's a great set. It just doesn't feel right for the theme. (I can't wait to see what characters these are. Hopefully like a jerky twosome.) And that brings me to this... the (second) best part about these sets is... NO REHASHED CHARACTERS w00t At least I think there aren't any... >_> The best part? The treads, obviously. (Though I'm kind of sad... I was planning a mecha with a similar tread orientation as Skopio... I'm afraid I'll be labeled a copy cat. =/) ~Bunda
Phantoka_Chirox Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I think Im getting Kaxium and Cendox Cendox's rider's helmet looks like something for Halo so does Thornatus I seem to like thornatus tho
Wrinkledlion X Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I'm admittedly a bit disappointed. A motorcycle with sidecar seems rather ridiculous to me, and the Thornatus looks very sloppy to me. If the Cendox turns out to be some sort of sand-ski, though, I might be interested. The Skopio looks great, though. Are we sure it's not a creature? It appears to have jaws.
VBBN Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 Huh, I'm surprised everyone likes the Skopio so much, as I for one hate the r-use of red. But if that pilot is tan...(appears to be orange)
Bundalings Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah, the colors are the only thing that turns me off from Skopio... ~Bunda
LordGalewind Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 As far as I can tell, all of these look like early prototypes. For those of you who don't like the color scheme or construction...these are not the finalized and edited sets. The London, Paris, and New York Toy Fairs will all be soon, so we should get the nearly finalized models during that time...and im sure they will look much better.
Matsuoka Nui Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 ok...i don't know what to post....bored...i think i will draw Skopio ¬o¬ Awesome picture of the three Ignika bearers...!!! Anyway...I haven't decided on what to buy (in terms of the Summer Titans, not the canisters...)...I already know what I want to buy for the Summer Canisters... Toa Mata Nui
Matsuoka Nui Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 \ yay Whoa!!! Where did you get this????? (Is that the 09 game coming in Feb??? or is it a Fan created game???) Toa Mata Nui
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Bink's blog I believe... old news by now. XD But yeah, the graphics rock, especially for an online game. It looks like it may the same designers who did Backlot. Tho wasn't that Templar? -Ikk
---Vertea--- Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I'm admittedly a bit disappointed. A motorcycle with sidecar seems rather ridiculous to me, and the Thornatus looks very sloppy to me. If the Cendox turns out to be some sort of sand-ski, though, I might be interested. The Skopio looks great, though. Are we sure it's not a creature? It appears to have jaws. I'm thinking it's a machine designed after a beast, or a mech-monster that the Vorox have tamed. The guy inside looked little at first, but I just realized he is a CANISTER SIZED THING! Oh, and I think the motorcycle comes apart to be a two-in-one. I LIKE! Either way, it's two Agori! Cendox looks amazing for what appears to be a twenty dollar set! Thornatus looks like the sand equivalent of Jetrax-which is good since I haven't had the pleasure of picking the Jetrax up. Plus, silver Krika heads. The Barius or whatever machine has yet to be seen, so maybe it's the summer set with the Spikit monster.
Matsuoka Nui Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Hmm....maybe this summer...the game could extend and you could play with the other characters...(I can see Mata Nui fighting those Skrall/Vorox and even Tuma now that I thought about it!!!) Toa Mata Nui

Avohkahs' Sparks Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 I thought there were supposed to be six vehicles, not four.
VBBN Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 I thought there were supposed to be six vehicles, not four. Most likely they are store exclusives like Mazeka. On a totally unrealted subject, would you be willing to trade one of your skrall?
InnerRayg Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Cendox makes me gag. I can deal with Kikanalo redux, but not Vultraz redux. Skopio is pretty cool though.
Avohkahs' Sparks Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Most likely they are store exclusives like Mazeka.On a totally unrealted subject, would you be willing to trade one of your skrall? No, infact I'm thinking about either get six more Skrall, four Vorox and four Zesk, or four Bone Hunters.
VBBN Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 No, infact I'm thinking about either get six more Skrall, four Vorox and four Zesk, or four Bone Hunters. Aw. I could give you some great parts! I for one want Skopio only if his color changes, and the Motorcysle with sidecar(forgot the name).
