Sulfurix Posted January 29, 2009 (edited) The Titanium Command Rig Is Awsome! Edited January 29, 2009 by Sulfurix Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Crazy One Posted January 30, 2009 (edited) My thoughts on the new sets. EDIT : ( Before reading , i want you to know, i was really kind on this review. ) Titanium Command Rig:Great set ( In my opinoin ). I like the the big tower , though i do think it is slightly pointless considering they are collecting cyrstals, not oil!! Definatley getting it though. 9/10 Rock Wrecker:Can't make my mind up on this one ,i like sulfurix but the set is slightly wierd. Maybe a buy ,depends what else is on offer. 5/10 Cyrstal King:Love him. Cyrstal King vs Mining Mech, hmmmm , interesting. I want it. 8/10 Edited January 30, 2009 by The crazy one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrTools Posted January 31, 2009 Im actualy begining to like these new power minrs, even though i was extreamly sceptical to begin with. But i think they are starting to look a little better with the new giant rock monster and more dynomite. But for my age (15) they still dont seem as great as some other theams I'm surprised people dislike the colours so much. They are realistic afterall. kind of makes me think what these powr miners would look like in real life Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zarkan Posted January 31, 2009 Despite the Command Rig's mediocrity, I still think it's miles above it's cousin: Heh, I'm not so sure if I agree with you. Honestly, I think they're both at about the same level - great concepts that were totally ruined by skeletal design and the "necessity" of a megasuperawesomewow function.

Algernon Posted February 1, 2009 Heh, I'm not so sure if I agree with you. Honestly, I think they're both at about the same level - great concepts that were totally ruined by skeletal design and the "necessity" of a megasuperawesomewow function. At least the lime green is actually consistent with the color scheme of the rest of the theme in the Command Rig. Here it makes absolutely no sense and it's really ugly.

Brickmaster Posted February 1, 2009 I totally didn't notice there is a very cool looking crane arm on the titanium command rig. I also fail to see how it turns into a tower, but hey, I like surprises. I don't think you would just tip it vertically. The new wave seems much less original, and I dislike them. I however adore the first wave - I have all their sets, which I cannot say about many other new themes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zarkan Posted February 2, 2009 (edited) At least the lime green is actually consistent with the color scheme of the rest of the theme in the Command Rig. Here it makes absolutely no sense and it's really ugly. Yeah, but the biggest remaining complaint about Power Miners has always been that "the color scheme is ugly and nonsensical." Not that I agree with that, but still. Also, I don't really mind the lime on the Mobile Devastator, since the main color scheme was consistent with the other 2007 Robot vehicles (black and a bright secondary color). It's the OTHER colors that bother m - the dark red, normal red, trans red, zamor orange, and yellow. How nonsensical is that?

It's the OTHER colors that bother m - the dark red, normal red, trans red, zamor orange, and yellow. How nonsensical is that? You might call it ugly, but it's not nonsensical; all of the vehicles are consistent. There's no disgusting pile of random colors like there are in the Mobile Devastator. I simply feel that, from what we've seen, the Command Rig is more realized than the Devastator, though not by much. It seems less... jumbled. Not that I think it's an extraordinary set. The Summer PW wave seems much less inspired than the Winter wave. Same goes for Bionicle. I hope Agents isn't affected by this downhill trend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wrinkledlion X Posted February 4, 2009 (edited) Those bigger rock monsters fill me with memories... And while I agree that Power Miners doesn't capture the gritty mining feel the way RR did, I still like it. The monsters here remind me of the ice and magmas monsters from that book anyways. (More so, even, than the somewhat mediocre original rock-monsters.) Edited February 4, 2009 by Gunnar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
