Phantoka Kopaka Nuva

So, after buying Takanuva Stars at a local LEGO store for a ridiculous price, I got an ad for the Stars, along with a teaser for Hero Factory. It's not much, just what seems to be the final boxart for Preston Stormer (crappy name's still crappy). I can't provide a scan (scanner's broken, and camera phone is way too low-quality), but I can tell you a few things I saw in there: - The "BIONICLE" logo says "From the makers of BIONICLE characters", and it has a silhouette of the island of Mata Nui. - Again, like the Piraka, the set character's name is also written in graffiti-style. - The background is some sort of sketch designs for Stormer, with his torso, his weapon, and small texts that I can't read (the only part that I can read says "Power Core 4......". And that's it.) - The age limit is 6-16, not 6-12. That's pretty much all I got. I know that I don't have evidences, but I swear it's 100% legit. Just wait until ToyFair and you'll see that I'm right.

Even though it's only 2 pages long, the prologue was EPIC. Anything with GBs in it are pure EPIC.

Cool! A cameo by the Toa Mahri! Although there should've been more Rahkshi.

New MN's Saga up. It's a pic of MN powering up the BM robot. Not much story info, since we've already went past this event. But the artwork is still AWESOME.

Oh great. Now there's a new hideous creature, made from a Zyglak, a Vortixx, a "Krekka" (it's a member of Krekka's species, but I'll say "Krekka" for short), and the 5 Piraka. And yet, Greg didn't say the Piraka are dead. So I'm thinking... a creature with all the Piraka's heads in it. 5 minds in 1 body. Now that is SICK.

Who knows. There's not even a set description for him. Hmm, XPlode has Telluris-styled arms. FAIL. If my brother gets him, I'll have to change the pieces.

MN's Saga chp. 10 is up. Basically, it's a pic of MN leaving Spherus Magna as it shatters. But it looks to me like the Bota Magna and Aqua Magna region just got "shot" out of the planet.

When you talk about shit. And Omi, I think the behemoth and the eel were awesome WAY BEFORE they got Gadunka to form a trio.

So? Just because you befriended someone awesome doesn't mean you're awesome. Of course, I would love to see those 2 sea beasts again. Maybe just the behemoth. And BTW Cap'n Kopaka, you do know that ordinary-sized Gadunka are really small right? The only thing they could do is be eaten by other sea creatures. And it's not even worth a meal.

Say whaaat??? You think Gadunka is the greatest of 2007? Even greater than Matoro, aka "a Matoran who became a Toa, and a Toa who save the universe"? I don't get you, man. Seriously, Gadunka was unnecessary.

I've been thinking: will HF have comics like BIONICLE? If not, how will they do the story? Obviously, they're not gonna do the same with BIONICLE, otherwise they would've had Greg do it.

Actually, Click can transform back and forth, with or without Mata Nui now. And I don't think Greg will want to bring back Gadunka using the "alt. dimension" trick. It gets old and boring after a while. Besides, Gadunka wasn't that interesting. Except for the fact that his big teeth are awesome, he was pretty much just thrown in as a distraction to the Toa Mahri.

But he did. Click is left behind now. His story role is pretty much done. Just like the Hahnah Crab. And BTW, Gadunka has already been eaten by some sea creature. No chance for that thing to come back now.

- We only have 2 exiled Glatorian, Strakk and Malum. Chances are that Malum will appear again. Strakk... Not so much. - We're not even sure if the GBs are on Bota Magna. They could be anywhere out there, deep in space. - BM inhabitants will meet up with BoMa inhabitants, and there will be probably a reunion scene somehow. (BTW, BoMa is Bota Magna for short, not to be confused with Brotherhood of Makuta) - Who knows what'll happen to Mata Nui. One thing for sure is that the MU inhabitants will probably live in SM for the rest of the story. And it's possible he will want to live his life as a Glatorian/Toa after that, so he might create a new body for himself again. - BIOMECH-DINOS FTW!

But he got no role at all in The Legend Reborn. He had so much potential, yet he only appeared in one book. And one comic. He deserves to have more time in the story. Heck, we should tell Greg to make a poll to decide on Gelu's possibility of getting Ice power and future appearances.

As interesting as a serial about Malum sounds, I'd prefer a Gelu serial. He was a cool character, but he didn't get much appearance last year. There's still room for the summer serial, so maybe we'll get to see more of him later. Or how about a serial featuring both Malum and Gelu? Maybe someone should suggest to Greg. Who knows, he might actually agree with the idea and open up a poll on BZP.

Great. Turns out that Hero Factory is about a factory that produces robotic heroes. Next thing you know, Von Nebula is the landlord who threatens to shut down the factory by any means necessary.

Up to March, that is. First, Sahmad seems like a Vultraz-style villain to me. Now he's like an anti-hero dude. He's basically a good guy, seeing as he does care about his tribe. But sometimes his hatred toward other villagers turn him evil.

Bink wants us to think they're GBs, but I don't think they are. Why would the GBs stand in the middle of a Glatorian battlefield doing nothing except watching the warriors slaughtering each other?

I couldn't agree more. While I'm not planning to get these guys, I will "persuade" my brother to get either Thunder or Meltdown.

Love the new website. Now all that's left is the tower defense game! Ah well, GA3 will keep me busy for a while.

New moves, no medals, all 12 Glatorian to start with, multiplayer, and a TLR clip after you finish the game.

Uh guys, apparently Greg made a mistake. Just checked the OGD. He meant to say that there's no chance for Akamai and Wairuha to come back. Also, Glatorian Arena 3 is available on BZP!!!

Exactly what I thought.

That would be too expensive for LEGO to make.
