Backgild Posted January 4, 2016 The app has potentially revealed more summer designs... It had a massive shield update around yesterday, bringing in a bunch more designs (including the classic space one), most of which I suspect are from the summer wave, because of the slightly apparent Ultimate tie - ins. What's most intriguing, however, is the presence of five, knight armor colored shields, with a graphic behind them displaying new armor. At first I thought it was a throwaway sample armor graphic, but the presence of matching shields for the Knights to go with the armor screamed intentional for the summer wave... Here's the pic: Do you happen to have a pic of the classic space shield? I don't have the app and would love to take a look. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lyichir Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) The Nexo Knights site has updated! I haven't checked everything yet, but the character pages are great and even includes characters we haven't yet seen "in the brick" like Whiparella, Flama, Burnzie, and General Magmar (including set-styled images of all of them). Burnzie Flama Whiparella General Magmar Edited January 4, 2016 by Lyichir Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Wow, the physical figures look fantastic! And the confusion continues, as the site calls Flama female, but refers to Mouldron again.. perhaps a regional difference? And judging by her picture, Lavaria's in one of the summer sets!

x105Black Posted January 4, 2016 Considering that every spider in Bionicle we've gotten lacks pedipalps yet has been referred to as male, Flama wouldn't be the first. To be honest though, I think it's probably just the app giving Flama the wrong gender. Wouldn't be the first time. Well that's interesting. But all spiders, male or female have pedipalps, they are just enlarged in the male. So maybe these Bionicle spider are some sort of alien rather than terrestrial, so that would explain it? In this case, I'll call Flama LEGO's first transgender minifigure. General Magmar This guy looks pretty cool. Or hot, I guess? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Loving all of these, especially Burnzie (banana horns! And a disc-launching arm!) and Flama (translucent Stone Warrior armor? Yes please). And that first picture for Lavaria is adorable. LavariaXJestro OTP . EDIT: But all spiders, male or female have pedipalps, they are just enlarged in the male. Also, arguably, the little claws surrounding the Visorak's mouth in one of the BIONICLE movies could be considered their pedipalps. They extend from the mouth in the right way, at least.

kirkwoodproductions Posted January 4, 2016 Wow! The female villains look really good in this theme. First Lavaria, and now Whiparella and Flama (that minifigure does look female and her bio refers to her as having Mouldron (Moltor?) as a partner). To be honest, as cool as I think the printing is, I dislike Moltor just for the fact that he doesn't fit in. He's black with orange printing whilst the others are all red. I was kind of hoping one of the Summer monsters would be black and orange as well so he wouldn't look like the odd-one-out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First Lavaria, and now Whiparella and Flama (that minifigure does look female and her bio refers to her as having Mouldron (Moltor?) as a partner). He's her brother, and the app is the only thing calling her male. Besides, the idea of her being transgender doesn't really work, as that doesn't mean "ambiguous or covers all bases". Anyway, in my mind she's female, and a really great minifigure. I wonder what set Lavaria will be in with the cape and daggers. Probably the castle. To be honest, as cool as I think the printing is, I dislike Moltor just for the fact that he doesn't fit in. He's black with orange printing whilst the others are all red. I was kind of hoping one of the Summer monsters would be black and orange as well so he wouldn't look like the odd-one-out... It's likely that we'll get a similar-looking Scurrier, as an unseen black-with-orange-cracks Scurrier was one of the prototypes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Soupperson1 Posted January 4, 2016 I'm suprised we have so many female characters in the first year (6!) while Ninjago still has 5 :P Those new characters look great! :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like Moltor more because of his color scheme. I feel the opposite from you, and I wish the others were more like him. They're the ones that don't fit in for me. Besides, the idea of her being transgender doesn't really work, as that doesn't mean "ambiguous or covers all bases". Well I was thinking that maybe she was male and is now female (or vice versa). But I guess we can call Lavaria LEGO's first hermaphrodite minifigure if that fits better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted January 4, 2016 Well I was thinking that maybe she was male and is now female (or vice versa). But I guess we can call Lavaria LEGO's first hermaphrodite minifigure if that fits better. Perhaps in the developmental phase, yes, but in-universe, it won't be addressed. Whatever the case, I think they did a great job with her. The lower body really makes the figure. I wonder what role Magmar will have. He seems like he needs a vehicle. Burnzie will probably be an independent monster, rather than a wagon-puller like Sparkz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DraikNova Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Apparently the generic minifigure knights are robots as well. So the orange faces are probably the result of hologram display backgrounds rather than visors. And Beast Master's personal Globlins are like badly trained dogs. And then there's that picture on Moltor's page showing Flama seemingly being embarrassed by her brother. I like how Nexo Knights seems to be putting more effort into characterization for the villains than Ninjago. Edited January 4, 2016 by DraikNova Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kaanere Posted January 4, 2016 I think that Mouldron is the big guy that Flama rides in the trailer, not the minifigure. Flama's description and second picture support that idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The_Fiery_Rooster Posted January 4, 2016 (edited) Interesting. Macy's "Thunder Club/Mace" sounds like an interesting vehicle. And interesting that Magmar is the second evil Ultimate. We can already see macy's vehicle in the app, and we also knew magmar was the other ultimate villain All the figures look great, especially burnsie! I'm already going to get sparkks so why not get them both? Also, Axl's tower transport sounds interesting. EDIT: Apparently, Axl's tower transport is called tower carrier, according to his bio on the Nexo Knights site.

Aanchir Posted January 4, 2016 Love the new character pages. We get a good look at many of the characters, and also some new and interesting details about their personalities, hobbies, etc. Flama's design uses a lot more red in the set-like render than in animated depictions, but I actually like that as it helps her feel more consistent in design with the other lava monsters. I also think the transparent shoulder armor adds a lot to her design! Magmar, Whiparella, and Burnzie also look awesome! I do wonder whether General Magmar's name might change between now and his appearance in the sets, similar to Mouldron/Moltor, since Magmar is a Pokémon name and may be trademarked. Also, looking at the bios, apparently the King's Soldiers are robots! That's a surprise! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8BrickMario Posted January 4, 2016 You know, I hate to keep complaining, but why don't the characters match the show? Even though she looks great, it bugs me how Flama's red with orange gear, but bright flame-orange in the show. Where are the animators basing this? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
