hewkii9 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Man, Makuta is so, so cool. It's sad that he killed all the others (Krika was actually a fairly likable character in this book), but it makes Makuta himself so much more awesome. Best villain in BIONICLE. And he's one of the better overall fictional villians, too. People need to recognize that. Makuta's a badass on par with the Daleks.
Wrinkledlion X Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Haven't watched Dr. Who, but I agree Makuta's a severe badass. A severe badass with a bit of a thing for violent coups.
Zarkan Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I'd actually go as far as to say that Makuta is better than Darth Vader. That's because, while they are both really awesome, Makuta doesn't have an incredibly embarasing backstory like the Dark Lord now does (Anikan Skywalker ). Yes, his past may be different than what we expected, but it's been repeatedly shown that Makuta is just kick-butt. He overthrowed Miserix, enginered the Plan, whalloped Icarax when he dared try to kill him, tormented the Matoran for a thousand years, and now he's killed every other Makuta in the universe. The only disapointing thing about Makuta's past is the Mask of Light movie's "battle" with Takanuva. But still, Makuta is so awesome.
Wrinkledlion X Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) No words of ours can capture the badassery of this Makuta, so we won't even try. Oh, and you might want to spoiler-tag part of your list... Edited October 6, 2008 by Gunnar

I'd say Vader's past makes him more kick megablocks. :P But yeah, Teridax is more win either way.
Icesaber Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I've only followed the topic up to pg. 30. Are there any other pics besides the ones on the Flickr page?
The Dor Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) GRESHGRESHGRESH GRESH *barf* EDIT: okay, yeah, new head piece (or at least neck piece) = true. Edited October 6, 2008 by The Dor
S-N Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) That pic makes Gresh look win. =D EDIT:Is that a new torso I see? Edited October 6, 2008 by S-N
Takanuva-nui Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) That pic of Gresh almost looks like a socket w/ a metru arm connecting to an av-matoran head. I still hope its a new piece though... On another note, I looked back through the descriptions of BL11 in here, and I can't find anything that mentions how Chirox dies . How?

As does Chirox.
Nightmare Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Yay! Someone messed up while uploading vids and we got the Ignika one instead of the 2nd part of the vehicles one
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 ... I don't think there *was* any more Vehicle vids. We already had the two Codrex vids, this is the first of the two Storm ones. -Ikk

---Vertea--- Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Remember the swamp chase from the ads? I kinda feel ripped-off. So, now what is that next image shown on the site? Ignika again?
Strakk Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 (edited) I kinda feel ripped-off. So, now what is that next image shown on the site? Ignika again? Perhaps it's the other part of this video. I'd like to see more about Ignika. Or more probably they have done a mistake. Edited October 6, 2008 by Strakk
Nightmare Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 Perhaps it's the other part of this video. I'd like to see more about Ignika.Or more probably they have done a mistake. Bink is not in Denmark but in the Brickfair (Or Brickcon?), and someone that is doing his job for the meantime might have uploaded the wrong video. BTW, I just downloaded it in case it's taken down soon...
iLego94 Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I have a crappy version of the vehicle chase, on my YouTube, Here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_un2e9LY-fE I have the audio fixed, but I filmed the commercial with a digital camera, so the video is bad. ~iLego94
Hydrobius Posted October 6, 2008 Posted October 6, 2008 I know I'm late here, but... Gresh looks awsome. I'm just glad they brought back Metru-Green; I thought it was possibly heading down the road that Mata-Green did... at least they are giving us color back in our sets again. That blending on him is awsome, IMO.

That blending on him is awsome, IMO. I really like the colors, too. The black works VERY well. Also, I noticed he lost the gree nuparu claws in his chest. I wonder what other changes we'll see in the final sets...

Man... I bumped into this when your link brought me to youtube... I was red-faced with laughter: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRToQXniH8g&NR=1
Wrinkledlion X Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Now that I look at the early leaked photos, too, I see that the chest-plate has a gap between it and the hip joints. So, yeah, it seems that Gresh deviates at least bit from the standard Inika body. Also, it may just be my imagination, but does the Inika torso on Malum look slightly tilted relative to the Carapar armor?

I was red-faced with laughter:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRToQXniH8g&NR=1 XDDDD This guy made BEAUTIFUL voices for'em all)) For Battlecraft Commercial video... people found new Cartoon Network promo site.

Man, I really hope they put out a full animation connecting all of them. And The Mata Nui and Glatorian teaser had better be freaking awesome-socks.
