I plan on building a compact Matoran mech that is about the size of a standard hero. However, I can't for the life of me find out how to reinforce the joints. I've tried hydraulic rams, friction joints, and doubling up the joints yet none of my methods work for the size I want. (The matoran is the size of a Metrutoran by the way) Any ideas? Im open to all of your suggestions, but please don't include methods that require the modification of a piece. I'm a purist :/

HOLY CRAP THAT COMBO MODEL. It's so cool. I love it. Now I want all the beast sets. Lego really kicked it up a notch for combos this year. The Chima 2014 ones are alot better than their first wave. Let's hope this trend continues!

Fantastic moc. Twilight Princess was my favorite Zelda game to date, and this moc is very faithful to the original Midna. Using the small ball joints for the lower legs is pretty interesting.

Got Furno Jet Machine yesterday. Yet again, another cool set from the first wave. I might even prefer it over Rocka's.

Picked up Rocka Stealth machine and the red mixel Vulk. Rocka's machine is one of the best in the first wave IMO.

I remixed a song today. It just happened to be the music that played during the trailer of the Invasion from Below video game. Go ahead and listen to it and tell me what you think. http://www.ujam.com/songs/nbp6DMXr9xBR

When I got interested in Bionicle (Hordika-Inika) I felt very limited with the parts that I had. Thanks to the versatility of the new CCBS system, the large part variety (mostly bones, not as much shells), and the ability to create figures quicker, I could create better MOCs than before.

I went to see the Lego Movie today, and man, it was AWESOME. But, what made it even better was the fact that it had a Bionicle cameo in it. When Wyldstyle is listing the realms that are part of the Lego Universe, she says "and a bunch of others we don't need to talk about" then a few images of other themes appear. Among this images are the six original Toa Mata that quickly flash before disappearing. I didn't locate a Hero Factory cameo anywhere, but it's good to see that Lego has put in a little "homage" to the action figure series that we all know and love. Tell me what you think about this below!

Nice small mech! The only thing that I would change is the leg armoring. It would probably look better in transparent azure than opaque blue, to match with the transparent bones and laser.

Oh really? I haven't played the game yet, so where did you find it?

Hey there. I joined Eurobricks a couple of weeks ago, but haven't had the time to come up with an introduction page yet. Let's hope it isn't too late! Anyway, I am a TFOL who has been a LEGO fan since my early childhood. I have also been a MOCist since who knows when, because whenever I got a set the next day it was in pieces for making new things. I have not been a very avid system fan since I was introduced to Bionicle in 2006, but occaisonally I purchase standard sets if I need the parts. I love to MOC with parts mainly from the Bionicle and Hero Factory themes, and I usually like to make vehicles or mechs for small-sized action figures or even minifigures. Goodbye fellow Eurobrickers, you can find me prancing around the Action Figure forums.

Thanks for changing the title. I suppose I should have known the old title would be too spoiler-y. I agree, having an action figure character present (Kind of like Metalbeard, but from the main action figure lines) would be good.

No, I don't think he did because those parts can be found in white in the Green Lantern set. This is a pretty nice build! The best part is definitely the cockpit. Too bad LEGO didn't make the minifigure seats azure to match well with Stormer's color scheme. The only thing I can gripe about is that it doesn't have enough little details (minifigure weapons, flick missiles, etc.) but besides that I can't find much wrong about this MOC.

Or maybe.... Just maybe.... We could have Throboriders! A crossover between Throwbots and Roboriders where the characters have disk launchers and transform into vehicles. Could end up being pretty cool, actually.

"I only work in black, and sometimes very, very dark grey." -Batman For some reason I thought of that when I read your post. As for other Mixels, we could have gold or yellow ones, sand blue ones, and like some of you have already said we could have white or pink.

Front, I have now placed your line as my signature. Take that Shakar! Anyway, it's glad to have some confirmation that we are having CCBS for a while longer. As long as CCBS stays, I'm happy.

I thought you meant having multiple story arcs in a single year/wave. In an unrelated note, I will be checking Toys R Us soon for the new HF sets, possibly over the weekend.

Hmmm.... The images that come to mind..... This would be kind of intriguing, actually. Since it hasn't been done with Hero Factory yet (and maybe even Bionicle) it will be pretty interesting to see how it pans out in the end. Maybe they will do this for the final year?

Great colorscheme. The blue, green, and purple all mix well together. I especially like the minigun arm for the guy. Hey, "One of my arms is a gun." Good stuff.

Does anybody know for sure the new HF sets are at the Toys R Us stores in the USA? The site says the new sets are available in stores, but I can't check my local store for a multitude of reasons.

He must have drunk some Red Bull. XD

We wouldn't necessarily have to have minifigure heroes. Maybe instead of hero mechs we could have regular heroes, fighting the minifigure mechs?

Next year they should have the minifigures universe intertwine with the HF universe. I have already written a story based on the openings of rifts between universes. Minifigures having mechs, punching the Hero's mechs in the face, then the Heroes making new mechs, etc. That would be pretty awesome if you ask me.

Are you making a video for the new ToyFair HF summer sets? If you haven't, hurry up and check it out!

I agree with you Aanchir. If only we got some more close up photos. Again, I can foresee the coming of a TTV video showcasing these photos along with the photos of the Chima Ultrabuild sets. Hmmm.... I thought photography was prohibited... Anyway, who cares. New photos for speculating!
