Bionicle 2008 Images and Discussion

I cannot believe they would do such a thing to Takanuva. Slapping those black-grey pieces in, and changing the Avohkii completely... And how come he's a giant Toa???

Mistika? Somehow that name sounds girly. No offense at girls here.

EDIT: Whoops! They're gone.

All I can say is :'-( .

I'm so glad they are just prelims. But don't they look way too big to be just titans/warriors? (Heck, they are not even that, they are just freaks with toa costumes and fat flying tractors. Great job, design team.) |-/

Fat Flying Tractors! Can we call all Bionicle Vehicles from now on FFTs? Because I think thats great.

And yeah, it sounds like they are using the current Toa looking guys as placeholders. At least I hope. Having someone that looks that much like an existing Toa and yet not that Toa is just asking for confusion.

So, you go my PM? Welcome to EB buddy!

Clonie-were these pictures taken through muddy water?

[Clonie]

Swamp water, actually.

[Smithy_Boy]

i like how the mask of life is stretched out for the lid.

[S-N]

Tahu looks like he has four arms and a Kanoka Launcher from the pic. Nice canisters though.

Oh, is that what it is?

I dunno, perhaps just a description (if you have seen them in person) would be better? These are kind of....hard to read.

[Trexxen]

The Makuta is Gorast, by the way.

Can't make out much...but Tahu has Mata Red. Yay.

~Trexxen

[Phantoka Kopaka Nuva]

Dude, I can't see anything in Tahu's pic. Where did you get these?

[VBBN]

Each one has a new claw collectable thing. I spy with my little eye red hali feet on tahu.

Gorast? Man, I thought he would be a bulky one, not a skinny guy like this.

[S-N]

So the claw shoots a projectile?

[Clonie]

I forgot why I didn't post them immediately. Okay, have you all had a good look? I've taken them down.

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Uh... those pics don't do much justice... but what I can make out...

Tahu... is mata red. Which might be a lie because we thought Antroz was too (but he wasn't :'-( )

Gorast (right?) looks like he has 4 arms. It looks like a mix of Mutran and Vican (together).

-ZotS

[VBBN]

Wow, I saw Spirah. He is horrible! :-X :-X :-X

[Trexxen]

Now that I think of it, I'm not sure if that said Gorast or if it was the bottom of the "Mistika" logo. So I may be wrong.

What is this new claw collectable? And Tahu still has a Midak...then again, all the flippin' summer titans do, why break the trend? -_-

And WAIT. I just realized, Takanuva can't be a shadow toa! Why would he shoot Midak ammo, which is LIGHT, if he's a SHADOW toa serving the Makuta?

Where?

Why did you take them down?

~Trexxen

Could he be half Shadow Toa?I mean he could be like the Hordika, but instead he's trying to control his shadow and light side....

Shadow-Nui

[Trexxen]

Problem. EVERY toa is half shadow, and can tap into their dark sides, or their light sides for that matter. Being neutral, or at least not fully light, is what gives regular toa elemental powers. If they tap into their shadow they gain shadow powers, if they tap into their light they gain light powers. It's easier to tap into shadow than light...(Not Star Wars esque at ALL, nope...)

Meanwhile, I still don't think Greg'd make Takanuva evil, but you never know...

~Trexxen

Hmmm... or maybe Takanuva comes with the set, and thats his mech (or ally)! Maybe for the prelimanary pics, they did not make Takanuva yet, so they just took a pic of the ally/mech/thingy! That would be cool. It would also make sense if it was a robot, because Takanuva could create the light for it's Midak!

Or maybe Takanuva is in there?

I just hope that that thing isn't Taka... :-X

I mean, he's cool but... definantly not a Toa...

-ZotS

[Trexxen]

Again, problem with that too. That set HAS to be Takanuva, the numbers match. Also, for added "Aww", that has to be him because that looks like way too many pieces for even a $30 set (its price) - and you're hoping for another Toa sized set with it? =P

...Wait...I'm on your side with wanting that to not be him! *biased and scientific sides of brain have climactic battle, while my body goes to grab some popcorn*

Oh yea, forgot.
