Toa of Gallifrey

Yeah, Lewa's takes cues from the Phantoka one and Gali's from MoL, which I'm glad because those (used to be) my favorite versions of their masks. Pohatu's reminds me more of Photok's than his Phantoka version.

Great, now I want Pohatu to sing the background part of Everything is Awesome.

This Toa Fortress was invaded by Frostelus and the stone was stolen by the Piraka in the confusion, as the Toa team that guarded it died (except for some loser who went on to... *script-checking noises* set the stage for 6 of the world's most important heroes). *cue mlg sad music* But what if Frostelus never attacked and Makoki Stone guard team never died? Well in this universe, the Brotherhood of Makuta still wanted the Makoki Stone badly, so they hired a team of Toa mercenaries to defeat the Makoki Stone guard team and gather the stone, and thus began the Toa Civil War. The Order of Mata Nui stepped in and hired a team of Toa mercenaries themselves to help the Makoki Stone guard team combat the Brotherhood's team. When they did well enough on their own, the original Makoki Stone guard team was disbanded and the members went to various other locations. As the battles escalated, the Dark Hunters saw profit in this and secretly offered both the Brotherhood and the Order help, thus effectively managing both sides of the war. The Dark Hunters sold both sides cutting-edge weaponry, Kanohi, armor (color-coded for the Dark Hunters' convenience) and information on the other team's moves. Thus the story brings us to our star for today: the Order of Mata Nui's team's doctor, a Toa of Plasma who simply calls himself "Medic". Only select members of the Order know his real name. His weapon was designed by himself and built by the team's engineer (who also calls himself "Engineer"). It is a modified fire hose from Ta-Metru's forges that shoots a beam of elemental energy that binds together its target's mechanisms and makes them run better than usual, thus repairing any damage. When it's used, it builds up charge (that the Medic calls "Übercharge" that, when activated, makes its target (and the weapon's user) invulnerable for around eight seconds. It also has different settings for different effects, such as one that enhances its target's vision, accuracy and reflexes to the point where they can consistently land practically flawless hits and one similar to the base setting but sacrifices invulnerability for low passive damage resistance (which jumps to very high when Übercharged) and much faster charging. He wears a noble Hau that glows when he Übercharges someone. Not much is known about the Medic's past as a Su-Matoran, other than he was his town's doctor and made groundbreaking discoveries in repair, when his patients survived. Now as a Toa with access to the Order of Mata Nui and the Dark Hunters' vast armories and workshops he has much more healing potential, but he seems to view healing as a side effect of conducting his dangerous experiments out of curiosity. One can tell his maniacal laugh is not for discovering a quicker way to repair damage from a minigun. Anywho, without further ado, meet the Medic!

I really like multiple metallic colors, my only problem with Onua's silver is that, in my opinion, it'd look better in gold (though not really vice versa). I love the silver in Gali and Kopaka, though.

And yet Voriki has been here for nearly 15 years and gets hailed like a hero.

Yeah I only tend to buy multiples for parts. I have an extra Chirox, Gresh, Tarduk, Kiina, Ackar and Vorox due to duplicate presents, an extra Protector of Stone I ordered for the Hero Pack (with parts in mind), and an extra Furno XL and Dragon Bolt for parts purposes.

Are there any news on when the next episode is? Rumors range all the way from April to August. I really hope it's sooner rather than later.

*epiphany* I must go make Bionicle Fortress 2 a reality now. BUTTERCREAAAAAAAAAAAAAM!

I'm mainly referring to stuff like Bill's motives, Gideon's motives, details on what the portal does, what happened with Stanley (or real Stan, or w/e), what is it exactly that the handyman knows that he doesn't let on, etc. Alex had mentioned originally that his plans were 3 seasons, then later said maybe 3 seasons and a movie. Even later said the plan now is 2 seasons and a movie. Yeah, Spectacular Spider-Man is great. I really wish it got a third season.

Don't worry, there's still many questions to answer. This is likely the final season, but I believe the plan is 2 seasons and a movie, so there's still more to come. You are in for a ride! :P

Oh my God, tonight's episode of Gravity Falls was fantastic. I was literally shaking at the end what with all the reveals and emotional impact.

Slightly off topic but there is no male-male bone (not that kind) for CCBS right? If only there were Toa ragdolls on GMod or Source Filmmaker to make a machinima of that. xD

'Fraid I can't find my camera and I don't like using my 3DS for pictures, but here's a picture from BZP's review on the Hero Pack. (not with it on him but close enough) http://bzpower.com/galimage.php?galimage=/Imaging/stories/5002941-Bionicle-Hero-Pack-16.JPG

I've been oogling at how the trans-orange Hau looks on Tahu under blacklight. Five Nights at Lewa's confirmed.

God I really miss Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. I remember obsessively fangirling over the ending of season 1 and eagerly awaiting season 2.

Yeah, the last part of Death Note feels a bit draggy.

It's probably on purpose. The Protectors' masks are ornate and ceremonial, whereas the Toa came with them and are technically a part of them.

Vahi, the Protector of Time, who used to guard the legendary Mask of Time found a suit of armor from a past time which granted him immense power. He dubbed it, "Tengen Toppa Goruden Toa" which means "Heaven-Piercing Golden Warrior" in the ancient Okotese language. He has since left the Mask of Time in the hands of other Protectors and left Okoto to pierce his fate and save a universe trapped in an endless cycle of violence. His last words to the Protector of Fire, who questioned his decision were, "Of course I must leave! Who the Karzahni do you think I am? Mine are the spear, flamethrower and blaster that will pierce the heavens and fined the mythical being Mata Nui. Farewell, brother. Do not believe in the Vahi that believes in you, or the you that believes in Vahi, but the you that believes in you." After that, the other Protectors never saw Vahi again, though they can sometimes hear the sound his finishing move, Giga Spear Slash.

Skull Kraken 2015 w/ funmetal Kaukau plz.

I'm thinking Dark Red Skull Spider mask.

It'd be hilarious to get a Five-Ish Doctors Reboot set with minifigs of Davison, C. Baker and McCoy covered by tarps. XD

I wouldn't worry too much. My local Wal-Mart is constantly running out of Bionicle sets when I could easily find most HF sets there until about year after they were out of production.

Very nice! The architecture is very well done and the minifigures look great. Especially (who I think is) Amy's minifig.

I really don't want too much stuff left for fans to fill in. Irrelevant stuff, sure (even though I am overly curious about G1) but leaving too many things not just vague but also ignored defeats the point of making it a story-based theme in my eyes. I don't care about what Protectors eat but I do care about where LoSS comes from, what is its purpose, where does the golden Skull Spider mask fit in within all this. There's a difference between leaving some things vague and introducing potentially interesting plot points and ignoring them. Mysteries should be answered eventually.

It probably has a bashing function that eats up a bunch of Technic.
