In one of his blogs. The one where he interviewed himself. It was hilarious. Or it might have been another one.

I just sent Bink a few questions including one on what the nature of the Glatorian and Agori heads be. Also, which one of the 2009 sets he designed. and then one more question on the next animation.

Oh, dangit! I hoped it would be public already. Hm... Does Majhost work better?

http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=350399 Here you all go! You will need FLV player to watch, but it's a free program. so... yup

EDIT: Hold on... I have to resubmit it...

Wow. Mata Nui is awesome! But I wonder how Bomonga is able to read Glatorian unless... He said 'root language', right? I think Bara Magna may be part of Mata Nui's history.

Actually, I figured Tuma's build out and built him using my parts here at home. He has a Metru chest armour piece in front on his neck-joint. Of course, without the proper parts-like that new hordika head and without any reference for his back, it's a tad inaccurate, and the hip support is off, but altogether, it looks pretty spiffy.

The black hordika heads on Tuma aren't the same as the grey ones, I think. Look at how it's tilted, but the axle is straight. I thikn instead of plus-axle holes in it, the black ones have pin holes.

um.... has anyone heard anything on that polish guide?

'Tis pretty kickass. I certainly think that Tuma will be on my shelf by the end of 2009

where'd you find that???

Definitely. The vest thing about 2001-what made Bionicle SO unique was that these were robots of a sort that were as in-touch with the elements as any organic superhero. Tribes, not technology.

Thank you. That name is pretty kick-megablocks. Ah, so you got your mag today? I have to wait 'till Monday...

where did you hear this, or is this a cool fan-term?

indeed! It was there all along!

Yayzorz for JUSTICE! However, it would be equally hilarious if it turns out to be something ENTIRELY different.

Unless Mata Nui is a winter store exclusive.

1) Of course it does 2) Whole planet 3) Vorox and Zesk are not from the rock tribe 4) Yes and yes 5) Yes 6) Pretty far -- you couldn't walk there or ride there from where we are.

Wait, we know that he's just a placeholder? Oh, balls-I just sent Greg a message asking him if the figure was significant... But there's other questions, too, so I hope to have something new to discuss soon.

ooh... That would look GOOOOD! Green/gold did well with Zaktan, and I think it would work with Mata Nui as well.

If you look closely, the mask he's wearing is the Ignika. Mata Nui will prolly be gold and some other color. He can't be stone now that we know that that is a villain element. HAAHAHAHA!!! That's funny! I never noticed that! Although I don't like the idea of human vehicles, I quite like the design in itself.

It's official: Leigh is awesome.

Vorox and Strakk for me. And thier respective little sets, as well. Possibly Tarduk and Atakus.

VERY interesting, actually... I'm curious as to WHY they are each so important. What could it be that Mata Nui has that this universe needs, and why could he not exist without them... AHA! Mata Nui need these beings because the are the only ones who can help him in a crisis, and they need him because his duty was to fight the evil that now spreads over this new universe. Greg DID say that MN had a greater purpose...

I really am eager to see the backs of the canisters. It might show something relevent to the story. EDIT: Look closely at the tops of the masks- they all have little indents like the original masks. I wonder if these new faces have a plus rod that goes in from the top...
