Remember, kiddies- Bink already CONFIRMED that the head parts are a new, smaller head that have a dual function and are compatable with older stuffs.

A work of artistic genius if I do say so myself

I sent Greg back a volley of questions further probing this as well as some other questions I'm sure you are all wondering

Unless everything is in his head and chest. Just got his from Greg:

true that. I'm really hoping for canister combiners, but I doubt it...

Surprisingly you're only the second person to ask me anything tongue.gif I don't exactly know if LEGO wants me talking about this or not, so just don't go shouting it out to everyone wink.gif Anyways 1) I think I might have seen some summer stuff, hard to tell, it was all combiner models 2) I saw a combiner model for I think summer 2009 and I saw some interesting new pieces. There were hand pieces, but I bet you know that from the set pictures, and the new swords and thornax launchers look neat. But there was also a new piece I don't think anyone has seen yet. It was like a disk with numbers 1 to 6 on the outside and also a skull picture, and I have no idea what that is for. -Junic That is a life-counter for kids to tell how many hit points they have or something I imagine. It's part of the new playability thing. It's on all of the winter sets connected by a Toa Metru chest piece. Quite clever, really. How do the combiners look? The combiners look really neat, there is a two way mask (like the Krahkan) that is used, and I think comes from the winter titan set (the green one) If I remember correctly he has quite an elaborate gun that he uses. But other than that not much to say. Just really awesome looking all around. Junic

Does anyone have any info on this summer 09 stuff? Although, it could just be some more crap that got deleted for being stupid. Also, I'm glad that I was right-Skrall and Atakus are villains! I wonder if Tuma's legions are the bone-hunters or if they are another villainous faction... And since Tuma is the Rock Leader, that means we can eliminate Atakus from the list of suspected leaders.

1) Natives of the planet he visits? Well, we don't know that he didn't do that on planets that HAD natives -- this planet has none, only sea animals. But if he did do that, wouldn't the natives all die when he stood up to go? That wouldn't be very nice. 2) Can't answer it 3) I assume so 4) They are based off geography, but they are still called fire tribes or water tribes, etc. 5) The black sets are rock. 6) No, too early to discuss 7) Tridax just made them. Remember, the shadow leech has not existed all that long, so he just started this operation. 8) You get where you are supposed to go, but sometimes how you get there varies. 9) No. I have a destiny, you have a destiny, all living things have a destiny if you believe in that. 8) The Great Beings would know. Mata Nui and the Makuta should know, but don't. Brutaka knows now. 9) No. Oh, and someone on BZP posted a topic on the summer 2009 plot, but it was deleted. Also, Glatorian were spotted at TRU EDIT: Here's some more stuff:

A while back. It was kind of a thing that was going around where we were trying to figure out who the female Glatorian would be since Greg had stated that Tarix was male. Then we find out that NONE of the Glatorian are female, but Hewkii9 decided to stick with it as a sort of calling(we still have to use it on BZP) and... well there you go. :)

definitely. Look at Vorox and Strakk. Looks kinda like skulls, huh? EDIT: I mean their helmets/faces/masks. Perhaps they use the bones of their kill as armour

Yes That's a small fact to support theorizers. Found that on BZP He may have been referring to the 'bone collectors'

... Wow. Well, I think 2009 will be a great year for Bionicle. I can't wait to see the new comic!

Thanks! So... Mata Nui is a canister set, or a titan?

Ah, yes... I know there will be at least one for Toys R Us like Mutran and Vican. Although I really hope it doesn't just reuse parts with no creative design. I really prefer the store exclusives that are WORTH purchasing. Like nocturn or Icarax. Also, I was asking about the names to see if you could confirm the other list we got earlier this year.

Were those the only names?

Or thaey could be really cool and have creatures like the mualka with treads again to pull the chariots... And perhaps the V and X are roman numerals and the numbers hold a power significance while the numeral denotes it's rank

Remember, Bara Magna is supposedly primitive. So v could mean version or something else, but I think those could be other contraptions like battle machines or chariots with steeds or just creatures. Especially with the name Skopio on that list and perhaps Thornatus is a plant creature-the mother of the Thornax fruit?

thank ye brickthing! Loving the mysterious elements and creatures in background. Skrall is DEFINITELY awesome.

HERE'S THE SPINNY THAT WAS REQUESTED!!!! I can't for the life of me remember who requested it, but here it is! :)

Well then use phtotoshop-you could get some awesome effects that way!

Bionicle CORE 3/Vastus Bionicle CORE 4/Tarix Bionicle CORE 5/Strakk Bionicle CORE 6/Vorox Bionicle CORE 7/Stronius Bionicle CORE 8/Ackar Bionicle CORE 9/Gresh Bionicle CORE 10/Kiina Bionicle CORE 11/Gelu Bionicle CORE 12/Mata Nui Bionicle HPP 1/Fero & Skirmix Bionicle HPP 2/Tuma Bionicle CORE 1/Skrall Bionicle CORE 2/Malum

That is pretty much totally epic!

It IS epic! Wonder what Spherus Magnus is...

Many thanks, laddie! Or lassie... Whichever.
