Clonie

I think he'd look better in Metru blue but we won't know until I get him...

The BioCast.

Looks like he's Mata blue. *sigh*

What a time for the board to be offline. What is it?

Once I was shopping around in late 2002 (I was around 9), and I bought the Exo-Toa because I couldn't find the Bahrag. Then I went to TRU later that day and they had them. I didn't want to trouble my mum for it since I had already gotten something that was a fair amount of money, and I figured it would be available later. WRONG. Huh, that's what you get for putting other people first. X-D

They're attacking BZP for no reason. Whoever they are. They posted some, um, disturbing images in their most recent attack. Actually, I'm not sure if that even was MIB.

Click They got rid of Lego for this ############# ##### ## ####### ####?!

Even better: They're trying to go for a 2001-2002 style with the comics next year. Oh behave, baby. X-D

The last Jan set is called Mutran, although I'm not sure how to spell it, I only heard the name by ear. It was in the podcast. The second-last chapters are up now. Next update will be killer!

Meh. Hitomi should have won. Oh wait, she's not there. |-/ X-D

To elaborate on that, The Ignika's curses, bent to the character of the cursed being Compressed air bubbles Kalmah communicating with squid through touch -- Sweet :P Giant venom eel Are some of the things I found entertaining. Incidentally, I doubt I'd find those in a comic book. I like the idea of solid air bubbles expanding around a target, yay, chokingness. What not to do when debating is exaggerate. I could easily say 2001 was about hippie midgets holding picks and playing grabass while swinging from trees, but that wouldn't be fair, nor do I see it that way.

But they don't count if they're not used as blades, remember? :-P

Omg. Finally, MagnaGuards! *is hoping for RoTS Clones with the AT-TE and LAAT/i...*

Why class Lewa's shoulder blades as blades, since they don't operate as swords? He has one sword. Let's not forget Lesovikk, who only has one blade that functions as a blade. Toa Ignika as well has only one sword. Makuta have two tools each as far as I can tell. Really sword-heavy, these sets, eh?

I have noticed his analogies quite a bit, but so far I haven't seen it bleed over into 2007, thankfully. But this is a good point. But purely statistically speaking, Bionicle is increasing in popularity, so yeah. A few of the 2006 Toa can get annoying sometimes, but it's pretty well done in 2007, which is my main point. As for the comic book thing, I think a lot of the elements in City of the Lost are unique and interesting, and not something I'd see in a comic book, not that I ever read them, lol. The book version is the official answer, as it was the only one of those three approved by the story. ;-) Ah yes, Sayger's art. Meh. Even I could do better. XD I only read the comics for story info, really. Fair points, though I never said I didn't like 2001... Heh, yeah. Although there is the end animation of Voya Nui sinking which I quite liked. And you can't say you expected heavy weapons guy's game to not contain any shooting in the gameplay. :-P Cool. You have to take into account that it's only portrayed as such in the movie and set. I really don't like either of those (I particularly hate any and all playsets in Bionicle, except the Barraki crab one I guess, but the price is a huge issue there...). It's a modified Rahi, modified by Axonn, who had a good portion of 700 years to perfect it. Not that it's the best concept, but I don't see who could provide the Toa with a completely mechanical sub... Hey, he only said it once. :-P Fins. She can't fly. :P

Also funny is that Helden doesn't like too many blades, and yet his favourite lineup is 2004's...

Why are you still on about 2006? It's 2007 now, and it isn't the same thing. If I ask you to read the 2007 books, you'll say "God no, they suck!" If I ask you which books of Greg's you've read, you'll say the 2004 one, and that you enjoyed them. If I ask you how you know the 2007 books suck, you'll say because every one of his books you've read sucks. And that makes sense. On to 2001 being a mythology. Not necessarily. MNOG was a mythology. MNOG was never approved by the story team. So that wasn't what Bionicle "was," not exactly anyway. 2001 was essentially the comics and the one book. I don't find the books very differently portrayed since that one. So it hasn't changed much to me. Books are what matter in the end. I'm not that fond of the 2005/2006 books, although the first and last of 2006 were pretty good, but 2007 is a big improvement. (And I didn't say I don't like mythologies, nor did I say that 2007 wasn't mythological as opposed to marvel-comical.) I don't make any sense. XD

And those are the only parts in the sets. :D

They're there to hold the jetpacks on as far as I can tell, and it's only Lewa, the others don't have swords on them. And it's only two.

I'm aware, my point is they don't factor in the story much to worry about, and they are easily removable on the sets. It's not like they're glued on. Unless you glued them on so as to complain about how they get in the way. :-P Here's an idea -- why don't you just PM him about it? You're both BZPower members. You said yourself you wouldn't say anything about someone behind their back that you wouldn't say face-to-face, or screen-to-screen as the case may be. Not everyone likes mythologies. You act like it's universally accepted as the best method of storytelling. Not that I would prefer superhero storylines (not that Bionicle gives me too much of a superhero feel...), but you have to think that maybe not everyone likes what you do. (By the way, is "jus'" an abbreviation if you use an apostrophe, since it has the same amount of characters? :-P )

Okay, where the hell is Hitomi? That is all.

He technically didn't come out this year either. ;-)

The funny thing is, 2001 ended with Toa blowing up Makuta, and 2007 ended purely on an emotional level. I must ask -- how often are cordak blasters used in the story? About five or six times in Prisoners, as V-K pointed out. I believe a total of one (1) rocket was fired during the 2007 comics. Apart from the whole cord sequence, that is. But my point is they didn't go full-on with the blasters unless it was ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY, which it was with the cord.

The only disappointing thing is the title. Death of a hero. That spoiled the whole thing. I was planning to read everything in the book, but I went to BZP and the front page was basically shouting "Matoro dies!" Because really, who else could it be? And then the answer to the rest is obvious, he revives MN, and stuff. Oh well. I still like the ending, it felt like an ending to me. Plus it was only the comic! Imagine the book. Anyway, the most intruiging new mystery, although it's really the only one... Makuta Metru's new body.

4J, You assume too much. Have you read the books? No. Yet you claim to know everything. You claim that the entire story is built around cordak blasters. V-K, Hahli also used her cordak blaster, in her fight with Mantax, but she wasn't even aiming at him.
