The CCBS Topic

Im getting the sets cause of CCBS and the gear joint+free movement thing.

Because seriously, I understand them on Toa Mata. You can clearly imagine the movement. Like, the knee is bending and piston goes with it, kinda like endoskeletons in Terminator. But starting with Toa Metru, pistons are there just to be there.

What he said.

Also the pistons in the Toa Mata’s/TMNR’s abdomens assist with waist articulation and support.

Compared to the pistons on the Hordika feet serving no purpose but “Look at me! i’m here!”

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · July 11, 2015, 5:31am

Wha?

you mean Inika feet?

HewksDKowlihad · July 11, 2015, 5:34am

Or what about the Mahri dagger?
Or Strakk’s axe?

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · July 11, 2015, 5:35am

do…not…get…me…started…

DG_Eddie · July 11, 2015, 1:37pm

I love the pistons on the Metru legs, so many possibilities, so many attachment points…

Guy, this is CCBS topic! Please get back on track!

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · July 11, 2015, 2:03pm

And I can KINDA see why they are there…leg support.

Payinku · July 11, 2015, 4:44pm

folding for storage?

idk.

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · July 11, 2015, 4:48pm

Sounds legit.

Deleted meme and replies. For some reason I thought this topic would be a good place for it. Sorry for the confusion everybody. Carry on!

Have anyone notised that a theme in the Bionicle figures that continued to Hero Factory is that the sets first starts our small and later they grow taller and more detailed, and near the end they shrunked down again, then we have Hero Factory where they started out as small figures and later becomes the larger Figures.

Also, i have all of the 2015 bionicle sets, and i had a lot of the old Bionicle sets from the first Toa mata series to the nuva and Bohrok Kal series, but i never got a complete collection of all of the sets and many of the peices are broken now.

My Bionicle 2015 sets are on the shelf, though only the protectors, Ekimu, all of the Skull Spiders and the masks.
the rest are on the top of the shelf and there is not enough room for them there, but i have no other place for them.

Not exactly sure what your whole reply has to do with the Character and Creature Building System but… ok.

Yup. Though HF was a bit different we went from large Toa-sized sets to minifigs. BIONICLE downgraded from Inika-builds to Av-Matoran builds.

A problem that was mostly fixed with CCBS, amiright?

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · August 8, 2015, 4:59pm

Yea, I have broke a few armor shells…
because they were crushed.

HewksDKowlihad · August 8, 2015, 8:21pm

rip RaptorTalon’s CCBS shells

Da_Stronk_Destroyer · August 8, 2015, 8:29pm

yea, it was only Surge 2.0’s nameplate. and then some fire-lord pieces.

DarkHenrik · August 8, 2015, 9:22pm

I meant my original bionicle pieces, though those peices are now in boxes, large boxes that is. My parents really did not like the fakt that i still buyed Bionicle sets, one of the reasons is that i have more than enought LEGOs as it is.

Though i really like the CCBS stuff, but i am not really a creative persion. I can’t build complex models.

Rockho · August 8, 2015, 10:12pm

I can say with absolute certainty that the CCBS joints do break over time. I have about 6 joints that have at cracks in them, rendering them very loose, and two that have broken completely.

Also, the ball socket on this piece snapped

Hawkflight · August 8, 2015, 10:44pm

I think I have all of one CCBS pieces that are “loose”, and none of them have broken.

Maybe because I don’t actively play with my sets?
