Zaktan of the Shadows

Good art! I like the effects and how the Stars are in their original forms. The Rahkshi doesn't really fit the description though. -GRESHIOS

Zirahk it is then. I like that name a lot for some reason. -GRESHIOS

But could Zirahk still be considered an actual canon name? -GRESHIOS

Well, I guess these will sell hotcakes due to their price. Good marketing move! -GRESHIOS

Skrall Tribal Symbol on the canister! :O The Piraka is pretty cool. The new Spine and face is very interesting. Glad it isn't completley like Vezok. Nektann makes more sense now! The yellow Rahkshi design is very good! I like the new pieces - these Stars are quite nice. No idicators of any other BIONICLE material yet though... -GRESHIOS

I'm waiting for them to say "Recount your sins!" Ahaha, nice little story. Some better word choices are need here and there, but so far it's pretty solid. Good job. -ZotS

Actually, the idea of putting the series on hold for about half a year is a pretty good idea. Fresh start in 2011. -ZotS

I hope what Black Six said is true. Shame or none, my life is almost dedicated to BIONICLE. I could say I'm even partially obssessed. Maybe the orginal idea was to use a metaphor or hyperbole to bring cash in, but decided to scrap the idea altogether. Maybe it's just BIONICLE with a different name. Either way, I sincerely hope it will not end. A replacement line probably couldn't beat it... -ZotS

I would have higher expectations if the reboot was in Winter 2011. Slizers, Roboriders, Bionicle crossover? -ZotS

UCS would please a lot of the older fans. And turns out Mata Nui vs Makuta is next issue - but it doesn't end in January. 1) Haven't watched it yet, so can't comment, but from what I have heard, it doesn't sound like there is any reason it wouldn't be 2) Yes 3) You'll find out in 2010 4) Telluris appears in The Crossing, the story I wrote for the Polish activity books that people have been translating on here. 5) No, it really happens in January ... starts anyway, doesn't end in January. -ZotS

Bara Magna was never supposed to be a reboot. -ZotS

Yes, UCS is Ultimate Collectors Set. They are very detailed and have many, many pieces. One made of technic is hard to execute. And I don't consider Titan Mata Nui a UCS at all. -GRESHIOS

How do you know Mata Nui vs Makuta ACTUALLY OCCURS next issue? It could just be false advertising for hype. It could also start off the year with a bang. No one said officaly if they will fight in that issue, of if BIONICLE will conclude with the battle. Av-Matoran design was nice, but I preferred the originality of the older Matoran. -ZotS

A mix of system and BIONICLE is good to, but an accurate UCS would really please the older demographic, and the hardcore fans. Especially if it came with a letter signed by Greg or something. That would be the ultimate farewell set. -ZotS

I'm sure some UCS Makuta and Mata Nui or normal titan sized versions of them will be released. Maybe a couple of canister sets for the movie and the mix. And the Stars aren't the last sets. And at least the Agori build was used well this time around. -ZotS

I wonder who the summer characters will be? Titan Teridax and Titan Mata Nui would be amazing. -ZotS

:/ Riiiigggghhhttt. It would be a bad plot point. -ZotS

Glatorian Arena 3 looks great! -ZotS

Description on Amazon says that too. And the illustrator said something on BZP about how he tried to make the colours similar to the movie. -ZotS

Front is a LEGO employee, isn't he? Anyways, I don't think it will end. It will probably just conclude the Bara Magna saga. I can't sincerely seeing the line ending so soon, especially with the stories the team had planned. So conclusion is highly likely. Ending? We'll see, but I doubt it. And people are judging 2010 too soon. We know canister sets will be present later on, and no one really knows what the story will bring. -ZotS

Fine, conclude. How about that? -ZotS

That was an amazing comic. Best so far! I like how it wraps up 2009. I am very satisfied by how it ends - Kiina, Gresh, and Ackar working together to stop more threats was a great inclusion, and Sahmad was a pretty cool character. Shame we did not get to see him too much. I like how threatening the Valley of the Maze was, although many of the scenes somewhat rushed. Berix and the Skrall had a short cameo, which is nice as we get to know what happens with many of the characters if this isn't recapped in the next movie. I thought Perditus was going to be in it, but at least they had Click. Great last frames. I loved Teridax's look, and the detail was superb. Amazing last page. I'm glad they still refer to him as "Makuta". And the next comic ad makes it sound epic, but it's doubtful that will happen until the end of 2010... (right) And this kind of confirms it will end... I mean Mata Nui vs Makuta is something we have been demanding for a long time. -ZotS

Is it the American or European mag? Awesome picture. Nice to see the Glatorian Legends for one of the last times... Epic how Mata Nui just points at a "Tahu" Star. Wait... At first I though Stars meant by "All-Stars" to include iconic and important characters in a single line-up. But now I am wondering if it means something more, or if it is just depicted as a metaphor. -ZotS

As much as I love Tahu, I think Mata Nui is a much better choice of character to focus on. This year was pretty much about him, and he was getting development. Are they really going to throw that away? Also, the movie hints that HE will do something next year; just putting his soul into a robot is going to be dissapointing. Nektann looks exactly like Vezok. Okay... then? They never said that Skakdi can't be similar, all of them were clone sets after all. -ZotS

2010 sounds cool. I wish those Stars were canister sets though. -ZotS
