Optimax X Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Okay, well, today, while at tesco, i checked to see if they had any barraki, sure enough they did, so i picked up lil' mantax. Pictures, but they may be a bit big, so just links to my gallery. Well, i have to say the new tub is very interesting. The set and peices are very visibale through it, and the blue is very watery! There are little notches on it, which i found hard to hold the canister, and i don't really like the "slanted affect" The top, or should i say bottom is quite hard to get off as well. The build is quite enjoyable, not many new peices i thought, but enough for MOCing. The black and silver colour scheme is great, again, great even more so for MOCing. Front view The weapons, i have mixed feelings about. I like the two claws that he holds, but i would like it even more if they moved. They are quite small, but i found he can almost pick up a model car, and maybe something bigger. The thing that anoys me the most is the squid launcher. Terrible, i think. it's too hard to load it up without pinging off backwards, and when you do get it set-up correctly, if you pull back not much, it won't fly at all, but if you pull quite hard, it just nose dives onto the floor, not flying at all. Very frustrating. Side view Overall- 8.5/10 I really like the colour scheme, his claws and pincers, his tail and more, but i hate the launcher, it does not work! Waste of money on that front, But, seriously, for everything else, you have to pick at least one barraki up Gallery. Quote
Zaktan of the Shadows Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 My favourite Barraki. Well, I guess what you said influenced me. I want him so bad! -ZotS Quote
Cyclone Titan Posted February 13, 2007 Posted February 13, 2007 Good job, I for one have Mantax and I agree on almost everything, the thing I don't agree on is that the squid launcher works.Go to my topic:Bionicle squid really shoot to see how the squid goes far. Quote
