I'm glad to hear it. It's about time we see the whole thing without cutting off suddenly! Now, to continue this 'epic'... Zesk watched the slaughter with an analytical eye. He watched the matoran-looking guy's put themselves back together as their life-counters reset and the two were teleported out of the battle. 'serves them right.' Zesk decided to head the opposite direction, away from the Glatorian warriors. They would finish off the rest of his competition for him. He would need to meet up with Vorox to warn him and see if they could get any strong warriors on their side. ----------------------------- Tuma and Skrall laughed as they traversed the jungle-fire barrier. "It's a pity all of the losers' parts are teleported out with them," said Skrall. "I really liked those mask-helmet things. Tuma, do you know if they are kanohi or what?" "What's a kanohi?" Suddenly there was a rumble as a new foe came to meet them. With an entrance of flame and glory, Raanu and Malum rose from the lava now issuing from the ground. Tuma was gone before the fire-eaters even took a step forward. Suddenly Raanu looked intimidating with his inferno helm and was dwarfed by Malum who now looked even tougher. Skrall charged his saw and blade and went for the attack...

Well, now we just wait. We wait for the polish book, we wait for the final CGI Glatorian images, and we wait for december-when the Glatorians will most likely show themselves in stores. ... ... ... WHY IS IT TAKING SO LONG!!!! Anyhoo, hey Gunnar, mind If I continue on this circulating epic?

That. Is. Epic! Though, from the beginning of it, I was thinking you were doing some dang good writing, thar. Keep it up! It's somewhere on BZP and I think it's still on the Bionicle site in the downloads section. Get it quick, 'cause come next year, everything older than 08 is gone from the Bionicle website.

I see no nose. I think he's still pretty neat-looking. Oh, well. Everyone has their own opinions... Mine just doesn't fit with everyone else's.XD

SWEET! The website is AWESOME! ... Zesk took in his quarry, looking for weak points-anything to end the hunt and take the prize. His tali twitched and a drop of venom escaped the stinger, singeing the ground where it touched. Tarduk just stood in his perch, still as the trees themselves. The silence was unbearable, but the two just stared. Then Zesk shrieked. In an instant, the calm broke and a flurry of sand and leaves became the two combatants. Blows were blocked, made, received. Zesk made a stab at Tarduk with his tail, but Tarduk dodged and leaped into the trees, springing away into the mist. Zesk cliked in his odd way-one might call it his 'laughter'- then started after his green enemy... EDIT: Just got this from Greg: 1) No 2) I can't discuss 2009 3) Yes, it does 4) No

Zesk Vs. Tarduk-a beastly battle IMO. Bring it on!!!

Jinzo and clonie, You guys are prolly gonna bash me for this, but... I like Gresh. His newer mask has a better blending and it looks almost evilly noble. I kinda doubted the prototype pic was accurate as far as how the two greens clashed. I'm also glad the nuparu claws are gone from the chest with the mistika claws replacing them inside the armour. I made a Gresh MOC, and the claws prevented most poseability with the arms. ...though they still probably could've put the nuparu claws on the back where the mistika claws originally were... All this aside, my liking for Gresh isn't so much that I MUST have him-no, those places go to Vorox and Strakk.

well certain elements of the pics are cg'd, but that aside, they look a lot more like pictures than the Phantoka.

Oh, yeah! That WOULD be neat. Maybe he'd create a new law enforcer being! Like a Vahki, only cooler! heh... I can reply to myself... *ahem* anyhoo... I was thinking, and was wondering if anyone knew where the mahri instructions turned up early-I'm thinking that we could find Glatorian stuff there soon. Also, is it Amazon.de where the first CG pics show up?

The story serials, I think will deal with the Toa and good Matoran forming a society outside of the domes and hiding from the Mata-Makuta Not quite. The pics are of the actual prototype sets-the textures on the new parts are a dead giveaway. I really can't wait to see the finals-to see how far from the protos they differ. I mean, look at Gresh's mask.

see, THAT'S what should have been on the Bionicle website for the vehicles. Man, I really hope they put out a full animation connecting all of them. And The Mata Nui and Glatorian teaser had better be freaking awesome-socks.

I really like the colors, too. The black works VERY well. Also, I noticed he lost the gree nuparu claws in his chest. I wonder what other changes we'll see in the final sets...

I kinda feel ripped-off. So, now what is that next image shown on the site? Ignika again?

I remember someone remarking that the life-counters of the Glatorians is a piece already seen. Does anyone actually have any pics or examples?

Yeah... It really sucks that Krika bit the dust in the end. His end(not a death since he's neither dead nor alive-he is nothing) for what it was, was darn tragic.

No-It's the greatest ending ever! But, yeah... I feel for the Toa. Makuta can now kill them all with but a thought. Damn.

I agree. The Red Star is a mystery yo last-I doubt we will see it at all next year. The location I think will be that 'paradise' from which Mata Nui and the Great Spirits originate.

Someone on BZP said Greg said that the figure in the S@H product thing is Ignika. I think Greg hasn't seen the image yet...

It proves nothing. However, it DOES make things just a tad ominous, doesn't it? I have a feeling these things ARE planned-not the early catalog leaks, but the things like this that show up early-ish. Honestly, LEGO is probably playing it safe by only teasing us fairly close to the actual release, while REALLY early pics might give some rip-off companies(*cough*megabloks*cough*) ideas... Now, if you want further 'proof', look at this: That pic up on S@H-it wasn't up 'till the 1st of October. Not just some random day of the month-the first. Kinda ominous...

I am incredibly envious of this talent.... Dang...

Ooh... Good idea!!!!! I like that!

I think Mata Nui is gonna be the black hero with a creepy look-since he is probably a pre-deceased character.

I just put up a topic on that S@H thing-let's see how bad they freak out...

I did like that set-the only titan I was able to buy that year-specifically for the(at the time) new mask. My problem was that Nivawk's wings couldn't move aside from the open/ close function. I still liked everything else, tho. I really would like to see more beasts this year-or maybe beast and chariot! or what would be REALLY cool would be primitive machines of battle. Or even BETTER would be a small or canister set with more than one minion-in the form of rahi, or whatever. yeah... Summer holds much promise, but let us not get our hopes up for mere guessery. Still... There's always hope...

Oh, I know- I meant the filter did. I ain't angry or anything.
