Last question (promise): can it be semi or wholly organic? (like, say, some of the Tyrannid ships from Warhammer 40K?) Also: Do they need a pilot?

So, Jinzo, do you think the article was a kick in the nads to the new fans or us?

Well why did you say no Exo-Force? Exo-Force bricks ARE system and it IS possible to make fighters from them.

So it's just fighters and not, say, civilian vessels?

Actually there's no noticeable difference! Still, only one form unless it's a TORANSUFOOMA*!! *Transformer

So which one are you entering, pre-flood or post-flood? Also, is it strictly legal for the contest starter to enter?

Actually, they could make a Mata-Nui set, but not in the conventional sense. I've been playing with the idea of Mata Nui actually being a ship made for terraforming with an advanced AI. The ship crashed on the barren planet which damaged it's computers, causing it to make an error when designing the local wildlife. At some point the AI spawns another personality called Makuta (or the two ships Makuta and Mata Nui could be involved in a dogfight).

Well, Hewkii's mask will come in handy any time you want to make an EVA-01 MOC.

Well, how many toy stores are near you? If you're unable to obtain anything, I'll donate something! There's a TRU within walking distance!

The Bohrok episodes don't have text :'-( . Well, time to use my Google Fu.

Hey there! I've already seen some of these MOCs on BZP (I'm Iwwav), most notably the Proto-Eel and Pit Terrapin. I freakin' love 'em. Good work with the squid launchers! Rock 'n roll, keep it up etc.

On the subject of the '02 Bohrok battles, is there anywhere with the animations up? I can't find them on Bionicle.com

Never to fear, vahkimetru! I got a model all done. Just need to take pictures and you'll have at least one entrant! Also, pretty please set up some sort of prize? I wouldn't be adverse to a Hydruka or even a little Voyatoran.

Thanks vm, your co-operation is much appreciated *sweet*

OK. Gotta make it count, then. See ya! Also, last question (promise), can it have a pet like the upcoming "Jaller Mahri" and "Maxilos and Spinax"?

One more question: can it be multiple MOCs or just one?

I can confirm that the Birmingham store closed down in November/December. Be assured that it was a quiet and peaceful death. 'Twas a bit of a shock, walking towards the Lego store and finding closing down signs and half the store missing! Probably replaced by some crappy clothes shop :'-(

VM, I think what hewkii9's trying to get at is that what if you've got a MOC made on your desk(top), never posted before, and it's PERFECT for this Contest. Also, is this pre- or post-flooding? Or can it be either?

That's the spirit, folks! Oh and dill, it'd be nice if you did it for the other Barraki, but I'm not demanding or anything. Besides, it'd also be a good way to show the poseability ;-)

I would like to see your take on it, though, Cyclone. Besides, I said 'in action' which means things like Carapar pincing a Matoran's head off or kicking Ehlek in the face which dill's gallery really doesn't show. So either one of you, get to it!

So are you able to take pics/ i'd really like to see Carapar in action!

Gee-whizz, man! Any chance of a more in-depth review w/ pics later on? Write the speech first, though!

Now that's just sad :(. Part of the charm of Mata-Nui was the relationships. Maku being worried about Huki and then seeing Huki in such a terrible state spurred you on to save Po-Koro in MNOLG. It was cute. With the Toa Inika I started wondering what'd happen to Huki and Maku's relationship. It's a shame, because it would've been an interesting bit of character development. Hahli and Jala, too, how would they cope? But WE still have our imaginations, RIGHT?!

Slow. It. Down. This MUST be done. I can't make head nor tails of what's happening and I can't read the text quick enough! I'm not The Flash! It's especially hard for dyspraxic/dyslexic people who can't read very fast, although I doubt even a normal person could. Seriously. Slow it down. Seriously, though.

Case. Closed. The focus of Bionicle has become so undeniably "action figure" that shortcuts (partswise) are being taken. No wonder there's hardly any decent Kaita anymore. Those used to be a BIG factor when buying figures for me (it's the reason I bought Tahu and Pohatu after Onua, and is probably the cause of my Bionicle interest).
