His outline doesn’t match up with his body. If you put the background as black it becomes much clearer what happened

well. i dont think my wallet is ready. these are all fantastic. so many new parts. so many awsome builds. maybe now i can build a self mock.

Ok, now that i am ready, here we go:

Duo to the fact that Umarak have a skeleton torso, does that mean he might have been a skull creature?


also, how did Makuta find this guy, makes you wonder how the villains in the Bionicle universe found their henchmen:


and now for the serious part, like i said in the past topics, i have been wondering if Umarak would basicly become the G2 universe version of the Shadow One from G1, in fact i could imagine how he could make a return and be the leader of the G2 versions of the Dark Hunters, like say that after his defeat at the Toa’s hands, he flee the island but then thinks on the virtues of the Toa and then desited to “unite” other hunters like himself, so that they could protect themself from foes like the Toa in the future, basicly if you guys have seen the Justice League Unlimited episode “Legion” you will get what i mean by that.

I thought I was the only one who noticed the cute little guy. :laughing:

@DarkHenrik Roodaka was a recruit of Teridax though. XD

@MaskmakerOfLight Cute? To me it looks like Umarak is some nightmare monster. I’d say that the printing conveys a sense of hunger, which works well if he really is based off of the deer-like depiction of the Wendigo.

That makes them a lot more useful, IMO. New shells!

2016?! I still have 4 more 2015 sets to get!!!

I was kidding. He kind of looks like this, though. :grinning:

These. Are. Awesome.

I agree with Takuma, these sets don’t have any amount of Hero Factory and simplicity in them. They truly have found the style the new Bionicle needed.

Kopaka has spring green on his torso printing. Dont know how I feel about that. Also Tahu has these random half pins in his lower legs, why are they there?

All of these pictures and yet the sets aren’t out yet.
I thought they were due to this.
That makes me sad.

I’m totally gonna buy two Umaraks and put them back to back. Then I’ll have a Twomarak!

…I’ll see myself out.

I don’t think it was that obvious to notice how Gali’s vorox armor attached. Took me a while to realize it was via a hand from G1.

Anyway, too bad there is nothing in the MoCr’s forehead, makes me wonder why they bothered to make it bigger than the prelim one if it wasn’t going to have anything ptrinted on it…

Everyone says Terak and Melum are the same, and in many ways they are. But in build, they are different.

Terak has a much larger and bulkier back, with gears facing vertically. This implies his function will be similar to the 2015 Toa, making his arms dig.

Melum is smaller than Terak by one bone length, and he’s missing some accessory pieces, such as claws on the sides of his feet. His gear box is smaller and thinner, and his gears are horizontal. This implies he will swim his arms left and right similar to Basher.

Are they very similar? Yes. Are they strictly color swapped clones? No. They’re basically like the 2015 gear box, same sort of function and look, different builds on different Toa.

Time for my opinions:

Fire: 7 + 5.5 = 12.5/20
Tahu:
The blue on his chest stands out too much, and the only other blue is at the ankles. His knee and hip joints seem gappy, and he seems too gold, and I find there is not enough Mata Red.

I rate him as a 7/10. I’ll get him.

Ikir:
It’s a phoenix. That is all I can say. Except that there is no Mata Red.

I rate 5.5/10. I’ll probably only get him because of the combo function.

Water: 6.5 + 9 = 15.5/20
Gali:
The orange stands out, but it still looks good. The skrall armor on the leg is, as said above, gappy, but that is a fault of the peice, not the designers. Like Tahu, there is not enough of the 2015 base color, Dark Azure, but I can fix that.

I rate 6.5/10. I’ll get her solely for the pieces and colors.

Akida:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaay, I like the Creature better then the Uniter! It has the Azure, that’s a plus, and it doesn’t over use the metallic color, or secondary color, or the transparent color. One thing, though, is that it seems that only silver is on the head.

I rate 9/10. He(?)'s cool bro.

Jungle: 7.5 + 10 = 16.5/20
Lewa:
The lower leg connection is cool, the blade-staffs seem awkward, and… that’s it. The yellow pins are cool, but really don’t do much, for me. And the Green-Lantern Green is average.

I rate 7.5/10. I don’t know what else to say.

Uxar:
Holy Bat Cow, this thing is awesome. The Silver is cool, and he has Trans. Green, something I am in lack of, despite me owning Skull Slicer. Just… where’s the solid color… why…

I rate 9/10. Pretty much the same as

Stone: 5 + 8 = 13/20
Pohatu:
That mask is just no. The staff is just no. The Beige is just no.

I rate 5/10. Boo. He sux.

Ketar:
Supa’ fightin’ Ketar! The blades are cool, I approve of the Burnt Orange. And the Trans. Yellow-Green. That is also good.

I rate 8/10.

Earth: 7 + 7 = 14/20
Onua:
El beef. I hope the crystal pieces are Trans. Purple, not Silver. And that hammah is awesome.

I rate 7/10. EL BEEF!

Terak:
I wanted a demonic centaur. Nope. We get a mole. The legs are too thin, IMO, and the arms are a bit to big.

I rate 7/10. He’s a 6.25 x 10 to the power of 23. =P

Ice: 4 + 5 = 9/20.
Kopaka:
Oy. The Metru Blue, though nice, is a BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG nope. There is only a little gold, on his thighs, and what little white there is, is blended, or covered. The lower arms of the upper arms are too skinny for my liking, and the weapon is too cliche.

I rate 4/10. Lego, why did you do dis.

Melum:
Some of him is cut off.

I rate 5/10. Cut-off-imus Prime.

Umarak: 9 x 2 = 18/20
Horny horns of hornyness! More Trans. Green (that’s a plus), and he appears to be a ultra combo of the skull villains. He has pieces I don’t have (that 5 length double socket) and has the Mask of Control.

I rate 9/10.


Elements, ordered form best to last:
Umarak
Jungle
Water
Earth
Stone
Fire
Ice

Man, Umarak will be freaking OP if he combines with Uxar in the story. I mean, not only does he have a freaking bow, but he can dodge, evade, and get a vantage point in every situation with only a second of planning. That’s scary.

It’s like having a self-aware calculative machine gun turret with the ability to teleport.
