Ikki o' Moopyville

Glatorian Legends is the best series name since ever. It doesn't force a cheesy story explanation like the Phantistika, it's snap-simple and easy to remember, and it sounds excellent and very Bionicle. Especially after so many years of made-up words. It also means we will have only one canister 'race' this year -- only the summer ones are more Legendary. =D -Ikk

Looks like one to me too... and it's double-handed. :D -Ikk

Mate, your art is astounding. I love the way your lines are somewhat rugged and sketchy, creating a much more animated poses than hat for instance Leigh Gallagher did in the official comics. You manage to keep the characters extremely true to set/image style, yet they look alive -- especially here with all the swirling and colors. Great, intimidating pose too, what with the slight leaning forward. Flamin' skellies are a delight. =D One piece of advice, if I were to give any, would be to show a tad more liveliness and expression on the face. However, overall this rocks. Ever think of pursuing a career in drawing/art/comics? -Ikk

I'm just thrilled that we can have ancestors, families, chibi-Glatorian babies, and characters driven by love rather than by duty or destiny. Makes for a much more diverse story. ^_^ On Bara Magna, Jala WOULD be the Son of Lhii. =D -Ikk

Greg said he doubt we'd see a female Skrall, so the list is down to Vastus, Kiina, and Ackar. Very prolly Kiina. As for the symbol Tarduk found... couldn't it be the Skrall Maze symbol? -Ikk

Oh great, we have now a Bionifig with sagging boobs. >> -Ikk

You win the internet. XD -Ikk

Is my memory TOTALLY impaired, or are these pics higher quality than any so far? Kiina, Gelu, Mata Nui Stronius, Ackar, Vastus Cendox Prolly just me being hungover still. =P -Ikk

Everybody loves a good explosion. bones will be psyched. XD It's been so long since we had a movie, I don't remember at all when we started getting offcial teasers... -Ikk

... mate, why do you think we started discussing the Red Star in the first place? -Ikk

Here's some food for thought -- the Red Star was invented in 2001. Bara Magna, Spherus Magna, and all this greater cosmic stuff did not enter the world of Bionicle until '05-'06. So the Red Star has to be something that can be explained by stuff from the original story bible, in which Mata Nui did not have any mission related to the Shattering. -Ikk

How about Greg having said six million times that 2009 story does not take place in or on the Red Star? Or that the Red Star was created shortly after Mata Nui, and is thus NOT on the UDD Map? =P Sorry, those be facts. XD -Ikk

Crotch-itious? XD The Agori sound like Kewri, Krotitius, Skerdonius, and Kerbalt. I love that. XD Oh, and YAY for mystery again. =D Red Star, maps with strange symbols, nets, circles... pure awesome. This sounds like the prologue to what may be the story of The Crossing. -Ikk

I think that'd be a tough job. XD Lonely, too. =P -Ikk

No offense, but I think that's basically what most people think. =P What's the big mystery is WHY these planets need to be fused, rather than just finding some new home for the inhabitants. Greg hinted Mata Nui's mission would save millions of life, and the Shattering seems to be something that is still occuring, so it might be tied to that... And WHY no UK Toy Fair pix. ;_; -Ikk

Why can't it just be a fancy name that refers to some important events? Mata Nui will likely get the central role either way, and most stuff of legends will prolly be carried out by him. -Ikk

LoMN's early name was 'The Mask Maker' -- I doubt this'll be anything but a preliminary title, but if it's final, still cool. ^^ Oh, and XD at people calling me Izzy. -Ikk

This poses an interesting problem if Mata Nui needs the pieces assembled... -Ikk

That's the UK Toy Fair... the US one is still from the 15th to the 18th. Really hoping some English fellas will cover the upcomin' one though. =D -Ikk

I love the Baranus rider, especially his helmet -- and I like both chariot and beast for their designs, though their colorings are way out there. Might be fixable though, which would make for an awesome set. If nothing else, the Spikit would look great on a Tesaran Agori. =D The Kaxium is even blander than before... but the closer pic of the Thornatus makes me drool. So much tan, such a perfectly makeshift design -- just rocking brilliant and right at home in the desert. The only thing that needs to go is the rider, but after four years of that generic design, it should be possible to come up with a better version. WANT. Mata Nui pics though. -Ikk

Well, now we know what opened the BIA portal... this is better than Vezon Nuva at least. Nicely done. The other stuff was short but had a good feeling of bleakness and end-of-the-worldliness, which was present in latter parts of 2008 and which i hope stays. But 'Makutaverse'? What is this, some crappy fanfic? -Ikk

The original Pit is inside the MU -- the outer Pit was probably abandoned by the time Mata Nui rose, most of the escapees having been captured and the captors having returned with them. EDIT: Shoot, too slow. xD -Ikk

Check the comic again. 2002. -Ikk

Well, everything ended happily in 2008 too, except for in the Matoran Universe... -Ikk
