The Alchemyst

I swear I made a reply to BFA. o.o Yellow would be sweet, I like yellow pieces, but 3DB is right, it'd be an eyesore. o.o And what would the Sand/Rock villain be? Yellow and Tan? Yellow and Yellow? :P How about just rare colors/Colors we want. :D TEAL AND WHITE ORANGE AND BLACK YELLOW AND PURPLE Tan and... something... [Gray?] Light Blue and more something. [Dark Blue, White...] Stuff like that. :D EDIT: Oh yea, Vertea, what region would he purple/yellow villain be? o.o With his color, I'm not sure.

Exactly, and that doesn't mean wheels didn't exist/were discovered before by the Matoran, but instead, they had gone above and beyond it. Then they regressed after the memory loss and travel to Mata Nui. And Choppers? Well maybe it didn't fit the fact that Antroz rode it kinda ruins Antroz's look... "Hey look a motorbike! I, Antroz, the strong-willed, ferocious Makuta, would like to ride this chopper as a sign of evil." I'd be fine with someone else riding it I guess. Like a bounty Hunter. Or a Dark Hunter. That'd be sweet, a Dark Hunter, with a chopper, and some kind of gun, sniping off marked men as he zooms along. But that's getting more off-topic than we already are. >.>

Lol, I don't get why people are so upset with the Destral Cycle still. ._. So what if it has wheels, it's a pretty basic thing, along with screws, levers and even inclined planes. >.> There's treads in the Rahi, treads. That's at least a step up from wheels. There's also Jetpacks, wings, turbines, and Artakha. ._. It's bound for someone to discover wheels. Here's the deal. Did any of you actually think about wheels before Umbra/Destral Cycle? I certainly didn't. ._. [-TA-]

Those weren't consecutive years. Stores had to distinguish between consecutive years in the merchandise so Lego had to have new names... Ikki brings up a really good point. :o Myth busted I suppose, but names of prototypes are never set in stone. I still want a Battle Royale from all previous 9 years. ;_; [-TA-]

If it isn't then... Bara Magna's residents go to the MU, inside of the GS body? lol Or the planets become one? It'd be hard to make something work in such a short span of time. I guess the movie will give all insight to it, and we can verify [kind of] this list or not. We have to wait a month though. D: [-TA-]

Although it seems fake, I'm going to take it to be true, because of the Atlantis pic. And right now, a mash-up of all the years, a great battle royale. Revamps galore, [Rahkshi!] the character interaction is going to be pretty nifty, and fun to see play out. And of course, the sets, we're missing at least 6-8 more numbers. Small sets, and titans. So maybe it's possible that Tahu and Gresh [Remember what Greg said about Gresh having a role in the summer of this year [Maybe it was in RoV, haven't read it]] are Titans of some sort? Alternate Universe seems logical, like Zip said. Which hopefully means a new Vezon set. :3 [-TA-]

Head's very nice, and the color seems to fit. And it does look insecty and like an Antroz/Krika mash-up like Bunda stated. Maybe add a hunched, clawed and winged figure? [-TA-]

Grats Stash, although I'm not one that visits these parts of the forums to often, I'm sure you'll do a great job here, and for EB. [-TA-]

Stole my post Omi, lol. Anyway, I don't really count them as being the same face, I mean, they're not exactly interchangeable, and they're unique enough. Problem with the Bruce Wayne face was that it was constantly used as a generic fleshie face. [-TA-]

Or even more general, the Rahi of '01 with the treads. :P Still, you gotta admit, the Destral Cycle was a well thought-out and good looking bike, made out of just Bionicle pieces, and not only that, one set. One of the best models out there no doubt. [After stuff like Voporak and Kardas and stuff. >.>] [-TA-]

Hey, I always thought it was a cool alt model. Didn't fit, but still looked cool. >.> Oh, and I think that the open mouth for Gresh looks cool, he just doesn't seem buff in that latest pic though. D: Well, we'll have to wait for the movie to see how he looks with the wonky arms and mask. Or a Monday and an update. [-TA-]

Oh yes Marshalls. A year back they had 3 Arkham Asylums for less than $40 each. >.> Too bad I didn't get them. D: [-TA-]

Well let's finish what we have on the board right now, if we'll ever finish it. >.> We can continue Crazy One's Idea later, lets' get Mata Nui in his body first. And I'm still looking for bios from people, I'm planniong on at least starting to write the story or an outline. =/ [-TA-]

Woot, if I get Ackar, time to give him the wimpy Silver Vladek Sword. Gresh's arms look so silly. ._. Still like the overall look. I really hope the movie doesn't become cheesy [but it's always likely], and no elemental powers. D: And is it just me, or is Ackar's stance in the pic with Kiina really awkward?

Yea, this topic Feel free to draw some canister villains, one for each place, and 6 of them, just like normal canisters. We still need a Mata Nui and Gelu, and right now i think 3DB was the only one who submitted a Mata Nui. We'll vote for those as soon as everyone who wants to gets their drawing/MOC of Mata Nui and/or Gelu in. Hm, guys, I don't think we ever decided on what elements each canister villain [and area] would be, right? [-TA-]

That's new to me. But also, weren't the divisions made during the war? Which means the GB could pick any random Glatorian, and that means the EL of rock isn't necessarily a Skrall. Plus Skrall came from the North, after the war right? [-TA-]

Blargh, I wake up and all these updates. @N: Lol then the swarm of ToaMOCs wearing big-headed Olmaks came rushing in. @Bunda: Man I must be blind. ._. Hewkii Mahri did suck, but I never thought he sucked that much. BFA's right on the technic part. Older sets from garage sales and stuff give me enough beams and connectors. System is necessary though for both pure system MOCs and Fusion/Bionicle MOC's for me now and pretty minifigs. :D Metru legs are now only good for arms it feels. Why don't set designers use the small 5long double socket as upper arms as much? D: And Mata Feet are a pain with the canister sets, I remember Matoro Mahri, he'd always be the first to tip over. >.< Cendox review was short and eh. We did get to see the building process so yay. TLR update was boring, but I'm kinda happy with the TLR update, since they don't spoil too much.

Check the first post in the vote topic NM, it should have most of the facts we laid out. Super short version: 7 Glatorian 5 Agori go to GS body to get Mata Nui home. :P [-TA-]

Lol actually that was a mistake on my part, I never knew he had it that bad. ._. All I remembered was the silly Piraka arm and nasty mask. >.> And the random spikes. So random. But even worse would be using the short 5-long double socket and metru legs as legs. D: That'd be nice, but possibly have a less variety of uses. I still want that prototype dark blue Snow flake we saw in the proto-Gelu. It looked so evil. Lol review was fine. I can't wait for a Cendox Staff review. >.> Saw him in stores today, didn't have cash though. [-TA-]

@Phantoka Kopaka Nuva: Make another topic for it? I personally think Onua Mistika is gorgeous. Just take is torso down a notch, and let the Ghost blaster be held on the side and everything works well. The red accents are great, and when replaced with Silver, look too blah and boring. Definitely my favorite canister set of '08. :3 And funny enough I think Ackar and Stronius are the best. xD But those are just my opinions. Back on topic, I used to be a stickler for proportions, but as long as they are reasonable, and they fit, proportions don't matter. The Torso shape and head can also count for that. I just don't want to see Metru Legs with Inika Legs as arms. :P I didn't find anything wrong with Hewkii Mahri [Other than his looks], but I did have problems with Rockoh Pohatu and Chirox unfolded [of course]. I think the problems with Mata Nui might deal with those really large wonky shoulder armor and possibly the small head. The only canister I really "hate" is Vastus. Wonky armor, and sure the Snake Motif is nice, and that scythe is oh so amazing, but his helmet looks funny, limbs are eh. The armor looks silly and impractical. Gelu is fine, he's boring as a set, but he has those nice swords and helm. Ackar has the recolors, so I'm bound to get him. Mata Nui and Kiina are there, and I'm not sure I want them, =/

Heh, Good old Matoro Mahri, the one that never seemed to sell out. :P If you ever stop by there, remember to post here if you find anything, I'd like to know. :D [-TA-]

Nope, Bunda just likes Ackar that much. :P Anyway, all jokes aside, Gelu and Ackar do seem like counterparts. They have the same build, but Ackar focuses on Recolors [Oh man do they look beautiful] while Gelu has the sexier new pieces. On the other hand, Ackar also has some exclusive pieces as well, mainly the fire. I'd get Ackar from those two. And Stronius is great. He and his club just glow evil. :3 [-TA-]

Just switch it around, I'm sure you got a bunch of silver axle connectors. :P So from what you have, who's the best? [-TA-]

Oh heh, silly me, I assumed the legs were the 7long double sockets. Reading your Review BFA. Get better pics. D: Read the photography stuff here on EB, good stuff. I think it's in the Reviewer's Academy so sign up for that. It helped me. [Kinda] EDIT: I take that back, the pics are fine. Except the beginning and the glare. D: Oh and I lol'd at the specifics for someone getting the set at the end. xD [-TA-]

But Kiina has something about her. The lankiness, and overall flow. o.o Then again, she suffers more than Mata Nui; all her limbs are the same, while Mata Nui at least has longer legs. But I feel Mata Nui is just an eh set, above Gelu. His mask/helm/Ignika is so round and small, and looks so weird. =/ But then again he has the hilt pieces, and Keet recolors. And the stretched Hordika Neck. And he's Mata Nui. Go for the pro choice BFA: Go Vastus. Stronius.
