If you read it you would know the traitor is an Agori. -_-

Or he could have missed the what, one sentence it said that in?

[Refia]

Guys, the Legend Reborn now has its own section on Bionicle.com. We can get a better look at the models of some Glatorian now, as well as quotes of the Glatorian Legends of the movie. ^^

After reading Metus and Berix's movie profiles, I am 90% sure by now that Metus is the traitor.

[Nightmare]

This movie has become pure win instantly.

Same here - Although a lot of obvious clues point to Berix, the accidental ones like the Metus's Revenge Extended Ending (which is just Extended Ending on BIONICLE.com...) and the fact that Metus clearly has a motive to betray for money make Metus seem like the traitor for sure.

“I’m going to enjoy tearing that fancy mask from your face.”

Bad idea for Tuma, but it should make one heck of a cool scene.

I'm wondering what the Ignika would transform Tuma into... a new "loincloth"?

EDIT: Gresh's quote:

"Mata Nui tells me I’ve got awesome ‘Toa’ powers — whatever those are — but none of you will let me test them out.”

Maybe the Kiina shooting something from her Water Trident scene is true...?

Holy hell. Those character models are AWESOME. I could spend hours just looking at each little pic and seeing the intricate textures and details. This movie should totally be released on Blu-Ray. :D

The bios and quotes aren't bad either, though. I just really think the character models are pure win.

Maybe Mata Nui give them powers with his AWESUMIGNIKA

[80 Dollar]

The disk has the Skrall shield symbol on it. That´s a nice touch. :) HD pictures FTW.

Well, Greg said it IS possible for the Ignika to give the Glatorian Toa powers, though it could "probably" not do it on its own. So yeah, enter Mata Nui to give the greatest and most loveable mask ever a hand in making the Glatorian powerhouses...

And you know what I find LOL? That Tuma's model even shows that the green marks on his helmet are stickers. XD

Yes, true Though they're made to look like different levels of metal

BTW, look at Gresh's profile pic... OH MY GOD, ACKAR'S BEHIND HIM! IT'S A TRAP! (OK, not funny, I know >_<)

[ShaddowCroc]

Hey, am I the only one who hears Tuma's "I'm going to enjoy tearing that fancy mask from your face." line, and instantly gets reminded of Optimus Prime's "GIVE ME YOUR FACE" line from ROTF? >>

That, and the chance that Mata Nui gives the Glatorian toa powers are just increasing this movies epicacy.

(Though I dunno if giving Gresh wind powers would match very well. Powers of plant life, anyone?)

[The Nightwing Reborn]

I love the picture of Berix. It's like I can hear him screaming "We TRUSTED you!" I also have a feeling Tuma is going to touch the mask and then, well, become a rock or something

[Bfahome]

You mean like he beats Mata Nui, tries to take the mask, then dies?

Please, no.

I would hat that.

[Zip]

I'm melting, I'm melting!

Tuma's death would be really pathetic.

[Refia]

Well, it's the Ignika we're talking about... I wouldn't be surprised if it turned Tuma in the next part of Mata Nui's weapon arsenal, next to the Vorox tail and Click.

[The Iron Knight]

Or, what if gave Tuma elemental rock powers? The Ignika does have a tendency to screw with the good guys.

[Bfahome]

Well, it's the Ignika we're talking about... I wouldn't be surprised if it turned Tuma in the next part of Mata Nui's weapon arsenal, next to the Vorox tail and Click.

So basically if he keeps fighting bad guys he'll end up looking like this?

[The Alchemyst]

That rusted texture is even more marvelous up close. Character designs in general are looking fantastic.

Gresh actually looks cool with a mask like that.

Not like spiffy rookie, but actually buff and cool. @_@

I just hope this: "Gresh is a novice Glatorian training with Kiina." doesn't turn into any dialogue like Matau and Nokama in LoMN [i think it was LoMN]. >.>

And Berix's Bio is pretty neat. I'm going to have to pick him up.

I bet the movie will go and make it seem like Berix is the traitor and then:

PLOT TWIST

Metus is.

Oh, and Kiina's Bio is pretty neat as well. The characters actually have some good thought out characters, at least in the bios. I just hope that plays out well in the movie.

sorry for the question but, Could someone give me the link to TLR section?

DV has a good review of Gelu on BZP now, further solidifying my view of him being a boring set. Like, really boring. =/

If I get him... well, I probably won't. =P

But DV said Metru legs are longer than Vahki legs. For shame, DV, they're the same length.

[Bfahome]

~Bunda

Though I can see why he said that. Aesthetically, they make the legs look shorter in comparison.

Really, LEGO shouldn't use the Metru/Vahki limb combo. When the Vahki limbs are used as legs and Metru limbs as arms, it makes the legs look shorter. When Vahki limbs are used as arms and Metru limbs as legs, they look horribly out of proportion.

[Bundalings]

Vahki legs should only be used as arms on Titans. That's the one thing keeping me back from purchasing Ackar first... It's like, you have to recolor the piece anyway, why make it the fat creepy arm style? Edit: ohyeah and DV's an MOCist so I'm just surprised he didn't know they were the same length.

I'm going to Wal Mart in a bit. Keeping my fingers crossed for Kiina and Mata Nui, but I don't know... I think the sets start showing up here a month or two after they're first sighted, so I guess they should be here any time. I need to take advantage of those walmart.com sales too... and I need to place an order of Halo figures... too much money to spend. ;_;

[Mesonak]

Yeah...Gelu used to be one of my favorites but I don't like him much now that I've seen reviews and compared him to the others. Also, I need some advice.

I can either get Gelu, Kiina, Ackar, and possibly Cendox as well. Either that or Thornatus or Titan Mata Nui.

Which choice should I make? 3 Canisters and Cendox, Thornatus, or Titan MN? Unlike most I love Titan MN so I'm leaning towards him. =/

[The Iron Knight]

You should get either Thornatus V9 or Toa Mata Nui. Frankly, as cool as the Glatorian Legends are, the vehicles are more interesting. Although, I only have the Baranus V7 built, so I can't speak for them all.
