Natman8000 Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Oh, and Gukko beak orange. Mata Nui should have been Gukko beak orange. Then I would've built him an altar and started worshipping him.-Ikk Well, considering that it's been 6 years since we've seen that color, it would be like a messiah. Sorta. Also, I don't think they still use most of the sand colors, beside sand green.
Shakar Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 I noticed that about Stronius too! I think it's waaay cool, since I never got UDs maska nd it wouldn't have worked on these heads anyway. Stronius is mine. And the fun thing is, I'm working at the remake of a old MOC of mine which had the UD helmet as head. However, this time I don't want to use it again. So, the Stronius helmet seems it came at the right moment for me to complete my demonic warrior....Shakar
Clonie Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Is it just me, or are Gelu, Ackar and Vastus reeeaaally boring?
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Good pics of Stronius and Gelu. Is it just me or does the tip coming out of Stronius's chest armor make him look like he has a d***?

---Vertea--- Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 No, but I think STRONIUS IS AWESOME unanimous agreement from all of us here at Nochtred HQ.
The Dor Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 No, but I think STRONIUS IS AWESOME Stronius is totally my favorite set this year I think. I haven't got him yet, but he looks like it xD I'm probably going to order all of the Legends sometime soon. I'll post any pics you guys want when I get 'em. Planning on opening Mata Nui and Stronius first. Also @Scarab shield pieces: Anyone else think they look like Matoro Mahri claws extended? Because that's what they look like to me.

YES!!!! and both sides are exactly the same if you look at it, only the longer side has an additional blade-thing on it. Get what I'm sayin'? Anywhoozle, Stronius is gonna sell REAL good which hopefully means more sets like him later on.
Brickthing Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Stronius makes normal Skrall look like kittens. Still wanting that club. Gelu looks alright, but the only wanting factors are the sword, white inika armour and the mask. Here's me still wanting those trans-black/silver snowflake pieces. One thing I love about all the sets this year is that the set designers have taken extra in making the tribes unique, beyond colours. Gresh, Tarduk and Vastus all use Mahri-blade-like shapes in their parts, the Ice sets have the repeating circle things on their helmets, snowflakes and blades, the Skrall are loaded with markings that look like they're etched in rock, the list goes on. Very big kudos to the set designers to that. @ The Dor: Really? I always thought it looked like Voya Nui with Matoro Inika's Mahri's blade style applied to it. In line with the tribe design point, I think Mata Nui's blade is the awesomest design detail of all. Intentional or not, his weapon closely resembles Matoro's weapon in style, and Matoro was the Ignika's destined wearer, saviour and role-model throughout 2006-2008. Along with the fact that Mata Nui uses the same lower arm and leg parts as Matoro and includes his 2007 shoulder armour, I think this is one of the best shout-out or reference to previous story and sets, which mainly only the long-term fans would remember now, which of course is us. Front, can you pass on my thanks to everyone who did Mata Nui?
Holy Diver Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Is it just me or does the tip coming out of Stronius's chest armor make him look like he has a d***? If that is what a d*** looks like, then I have to see my doctor immediately.
HumanPackMule Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 If that is what a d*** looks like, then I have to see my doctor immediately.Please stop it.
Holy Diver Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Please stop it. I appologise, I just couldn't help myself.
Bundalings Posted June 4, 2009 Posted June 4, 2009 Is it just me, or are Gelu, Ackar and Vastus reeeaaally boring? Gelu and Vastus, yes. Well, Vastus is more hideous than boring. He catches my attention, not in a good way. Ackar... not the most unique, but I still think he looks cool. ~Bunda
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Right. This thread is an on-and-off mess. Transformers goes over here, and artwork goes on the main Bionicle Board. So why does this thread still seem so messy? I wish Jinzo was back.
Sidorak The Hunter Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 So why does this thread still seem so messy? Because EVERYTHING Bionicle is stuffed in here. We need to close this one down and set up separate threads for the serials, MOCs, artwork, new set pictures, etc. While we're on the subject of new set pictures... Titan Mata Nui I'm disappointed, myself. (Sorry if this has already been posted.) - Sidorak
InnerRayg Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 Redeeming quality: Ignika appears to be old version? But yeah, what is this shit Lego.

Titan Mata Nui I'm disappointed, myself. (Sorry if this has already been posted.) - Sidorak Prepare to be underwhelmed Ninja'd. Anyway, epic fail.... Did the designers say "Hey! Lets take BIONICLE's coolest character that already is a set in the current wave, combine it's parts with the clashingly-different yellow shades of Jetrax and Bitil, then give him TECHNIC-built hands, next to no recoloured parts when desperately needed, unnecessary piston-powered waist articulation and very-visible holes in his chest!"? On the pro side, it looks like we get a recoloured version of the 2008 Ignika - note the blackness between the mask and the yellow ( )eyes, as well as the longer shape of the mask. If this isn't a badly designed but well incorporated fake, I only see this Mata Nui as a decent parts pack, nothing else. EDIT: Other pro, we get a set version of Mata Nui's sword. TECHNIC fingers look more fail upon zooming in. Edited June 5, 2009 by 3D Brickthing

TECHNIC fingers look more fail upon zooming in. I'll pick him up-great expansion pack of yellow without having to buy Yetrax. And the CG always has bad poses, so wait until actual reviews. Definitely could use moding, but still pretty robotic. I personally like this set for nothing other than opportunity. Hopefully 20-30 dollars.
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted June 5, 2009 Posted June 5, 2009 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO MATA NUI!?! Seriously, I expected something more than Takanuva-style arms and TECHNIC fingers (big fail). Oh well, still have to wait until someone actually has this thing. Still might be worth it (that Ignika seems to be the '08 one).
