Aaand it's ruined :P

It's me again, and I just wanted to give you a short reply on Night of the Long Knives and the updated Chorrum.

I won't discuss every detail of the story just yet because you'll get a full review when it's done, but I can point out a few things that were just great!

First, I like the whole dialogue between the Toa. I think Uprising misses some lines for the rest of the team; You're hardly get to know them.

It also has some great humor that actually made me laugh (what rarely happens on the internet). Brorag's line with "Are we going to toss a widget to see who gets stuck with Range?" was very funny and reminded me a lot of the little conflict in the old Bionicle comic where the Toa lost their elemental powers to the Bohrok Kal (a scene were I mutually laughed)!

Now to Chorrum: The new updates make him look much better. I see more detail on him, the new hands are a great idea (I see the inspiration from Myto there) and his two guns look very cool! I just wonder about his mechanical leg now, he seems to have some... "problems" walking now :P

Overall, great improvement on him! -- 11:16, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

Undead Matoran will make an appearance, but unlike Toa they have a much slighter resistance against the virus. That makes them nothing more but ghouls who die in a few days because the infection completely destroyed them.

That's pretty much the reason why you haven't seen one yet, but including one in the story would be okay.

I'm happy to hear you're planning on writing even more! Just send me a message when you're about to start :)

As for Chorrum, a wheelchair is a great idea. I already thought about giving one to the characters after the big finale... let's see what the future holds. -- 22:25, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

I had already planned that Chaeus was infected alive, so it is possible for the virus to attack both living and dead.

That's a pretty huge amount you already made there... let's see how NotLK goes and it's "sequel" continues, I'm very excited!

I just saw the Team-Box you made, and sure, you can do them for the others! I wanted to make my own someday, but I guess I forgot about it somehow... thanks! -- 08:57, July 31, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, Bob. It's Logan (BionicleKid). How do you keep from being discouraged when writing? I seem to never finish what I start. Also, how do you like my cover image for my upcoming story? It's on my new blog post. &mdash; Logan  Woerner  (Blog) 23:34, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, BTD, thanks for the advice! I also find music to be inspiring, and I will definitely be playing some while I write. I don't meticulously plan my stories in minute detail, but I do write out a rough outline to go by.

Also, I'll probably be taking many pictures for Niha's story, and I'm hoping to have them voted on to see what you guys think. I'll keep your advice in mind while I shoot.

Again, thanks! &mdash; Logan  Woerner  (Blog) 01:13, August 2, 2013 (UTC)

Glonor
I'm such a Glonor enthusiast I'm gonna build him! Okay?

--Aljarreau 08:51, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Yes... um... sure... with my professional 7-years-training of my also overly professional photo-editing software that makes uber effects (30 sec. with Gimp) I would be able to make that logo for you, even though I would prefer the Voya Nui font I used on the Feedback Blog/Writing Contest/Remains Alterante Universe page.

By Mata Nui, those lines sound so wrong (and ridiculous) when you don't have the context :D That's something I probably change in the grammatical enhanced version!

I already translated the letter (because that's the fun about it!) and you'll get your answer when I find the time, probably some days after the next comic! -- 10:16, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Whoa! That was probably the shortest reply I ever got :D

I've already added the second chapter to the contest, but I can't say anything yet to not make it unfair for the others who don't receive a small review each time. But that story already makes me feel a bit sorry for those two!

As you probably already know, Chapter 5 of Patriots is uploaded, along with some speculation on a new (simple) MoC. -- 19:33, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Haha! I'm not 100% sure which exact scene you mean, but guess it has to do with Glonor, right? :D

About that character: I'm about to create a seperate page for him and I would like to take his "creation" part for my page. I already took a photo of him. What about the original's page? Should I add a "Remains Alternate Universe" subheading?

When you write your review later, how about the speculation about that strange Bohrok I uploaded? :D -- 19:50, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

I think it would be fitting for the creator of Glonor to write his artcile, right? I'll upload a better photo however, the one you made of his first version is pretty old and he's not that well posed in my opinion.

The Bohrok isn't in the comic yet. No wonder you didn't spot him! But as I already told Jahoan, it has no connection to Xafri.

Speaking if the latter, she is a Toa, yes. I never really thought about an element for her, but Plasma is fitting quite well! Just not that her Bohrok-head is a helmet and not her actual head :) -- 20:38, August 4, 2013 (UTC)

Ah no, a Forgotten Warrior would be too simple for a character like Glonor. I think he will turn into a plot device :D

That's great to hear! Merall and Brorag's pages are the best ones so far, and updating the others like that is a good idea.

One more thing I noticed: My island is called Balfe Nui without the "-" between the words, just like Mata/Metru Nui :) -- 10:47, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Glonor (2)
Actually, I would like to include him both in my photo-story (seems we all three are doing a comic now :P) storyline set in the Rebellion Alternate Universe and in my actual storyline set in the Core Universe. Would that be okay?

(I'm also asking Mr. Bond for Inrye :P)

--Aljarreau 10:43, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Oh, and would you please lend me Goll? xP I simply got no use for that brown Pakari Nuva...

--Aljarreau 13:30, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, thanks!

Did you check out my Vorred (who's gonna appear in the comic too)? :P

Vorred

--Aljarreau 19:24, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

Would now be a relatively good time for a meeting? XD http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 09:13, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there. I recently noticed those letters you wrote in Matoran for Vorred's characters, and upon observing how skilfully you were able to do it, was wondering if you could perhaps you could do something similar. I was wondering perhaps if you could re-create the wanted poster from Skorr's article, only in Matoran instead of English.

There is also something else I'm looking to create for Skorr, though it may be a lot more complicated. I'm interested in making a brief dossier of sorts for Skorr, similar to wanted poster, only it focuses on information of Skorr a bit more. Like the poster, I hope for it to be in Matoran. I kinda imagine the dossier resembling these four, which would be good reference points if you're interested in doing this.


 * Bane
 * Deathstroke
 * Deadshot
 * Copperhead

This one may be a bit more challenging, so you don't have to do this one. Alternatively, if you want to do both, you could combine the Wanted Poster and the Dossier together. Again, if you don't want to do this or simply can't, that's perfectly fine. I just thought it'd be a fun thing to put together. :P

http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 12:25, August 10, 2013 (UTC)

That's fair enough. A wanted poster will do just fine. Feel free to add any details of your own to that poster. XD http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 01:54, August 11, 2013 (UTC)

Whoops, sorry about that, I somehow forgot all about what you told me last time. I promise from here on out to only read them:) DronesFoul (talk) 23:05, August 13, 2013 (UTC)

Theran impaling
That Miru-wearing Matoran called Theran would indeed be a great inside joke, and the impaling matches with Glonor's death in the Remains Universe :D

I don't fully understand what you mean by "grey Miru"... weren't there only the Mata colors for those?

To integrate all Farside Toa... yes, it can work, but I suppose if they appear in Toa forms they won't be transformed the same way the originals did ;)

And for that comment I'll just wait until later then! -- 17:03, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

Sounds like an interesting plan you have there! I think the Mata masks match for their Matoran forms. That's something I could use as well...

Even though Merall's mask wouldn't be the right color I think a golden one would match her more than the official transparent orange one.

So that's where the confusion came from... I refer to those masks as "silver", not "grey" because they are more shiny :D

Nah, I won't get offended by something I basically did as well!

Two more things to add: I think I can reveal here that the Farside Toa as Matoran were originally Av-Matoran in disguise. They don't necessarily have to be aware of that.

I also saw some stop-motion on YouTube you made, was fun to see the Deserts of Death characters all moving by themselves :) -- 20:30, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

They can't use their elemental powers yet. They aren't Toa of Light by the way. The only thing you should "change" is that Theran and Dorvan can't use their mask powers by now since they have special ones (they are the ones who have silver masks, so something had to be special, right?).

I'm not sure if Range and Glonor could've met before, if so, Glonor would probably be the one who remembers it because the Farside Matoran (?) were placed in the Universe just like Takua, only at different locations. -- 14:03, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

I don't think silver masks have to mean the bearer can't access elemental powers; just remind yourself of the Kanohi Rua, it was in a shape of the silver Miru. I think that matches more what I had in mind :)

Yes, since the third installment is also the final one it has to contain closure and close all open plot lines. The story has a focus on their origin, it actually plays a pretty big role and even Glonor plays his part! I'll open up a new Blog Entry when Patriots is fully uploaded (like a successor to the Feedback Blog) where everbody can tell me what they want to be revealed in case I missed something. -- 17:59, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Question
Hi BobTheDoctor,

I was wondering if you could do me a favor - I'd like you to interview me based on my story 'The Silence of the End' if it isn't too much trouble. If you are unable to, I understand, as I am just going around asking different people who I trust most for this job. Anyways, thank you!

-- Kopakamata 97  20:39, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Interview
Thanks! What I mean is more like a text interview. You can write me some questions (I think 8 or more is a good number, but whatever is good for you) on my Talk page, and I'll answer them. Then you can post it to a blog (I think it might look weird if I posted an interview of myself). Thank you so much and enjoy The Silence of the End.

-- Kopakamata 97  23:45, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Ok. Can we do the interview first on my talk page then put it in a blog? Thanks. -- Kopakamata 97  22:22, August 16, 2013 (UTC)

Dorvan
Midnight shots? That sounds interesting! I've done it before and it makes for some truly amazing effects.

And of course you can call that Matoran, I would be happy to see him in the comic and Judgment Day! Since we already discussed the Farside Toa's appearance, you don't have to ask me anymore; just update me :)

Oh, and Chapter 7 is online. -- 20:10, August 18, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Ignus
Even though it has been taken multiple times, if I have read this MoS correctly, it is AOK, he just needs to put his user name in parentheses. --It's me, no biggy. ;) 12:45, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, thanks. lol. I see your point completely but if he doesn't come up with a different name, he doesn't come up with a different name. --It's me, no biggy. ;) 12:59, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

I finally found time to reply!

That Matoran form of Dorvan makes me miss my old character. He has such a nice color scheme with the silver and the Mata green... he reminds me more than any other of the old Toa Metru promo CDs.

Since you choose a wide angle for the picture, it seems that he's a bit lost in the wilderness of the island. Almost if he's not exactly sure what to do with that powerful mask.

And then I ask myself again: Why did you use Rocka's helmet? -- 15:59, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

Hello BTD27. I have a question: do you like those card games where you use units to battle? An example would be Magic the Gathering or Summoner Wars. Talk 01:05, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Alright. If you think of an element that can beat air while being beaten by earth can you let me know? Have a nice night (or day depending on where you are). Talk 01:19, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Alright thanks anyway. As I said before have a nice day or night! Talk 01:26, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Would you mind telling me the coding you use in your moc blogs? I want to post my own moc blog but I want it to look good. Talk 17:35, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

I can't get the coding for the table you gave me to work. I copied straight from my talk page. Does it not show up when you click the preview button? Talk 17:44, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

It's an moc blog that I haven't posted yet. Right now it's just a tab in my browser. While I have your attention: do you have any advice on making a custom body? Talk 19:53, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

Alright I'll try both of your suggestions. Thanks! Talk 20:32, August 22, 2013 (UTC)

I've started reading Vendetta! It's really good so far. Talk 00:32, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

MOC Request(s)
Hey BtD27, I have a few characters for my storyline that I cannot build, and I am putting in a request for them. The characters are three Makuta, two male and one female, who have split off from the Brotherhood and now serve "The Master" (My main villian) as the Shadow Triad. The three Makuta basically use the Phantoka Makuta design with armor in place of a Tridax Pod. Their designs are as follows:
 * Makuta Racnoss: Master of Pain
 * The female Makuta, with black and Mata Nui yellow armor and a Kanohi Kiril.
 * Her weapons are throwing darts and daggers, which she carves from her armor (hence the Kiril)
 * Her chest armor is the Mata Nui chestplate.
 * She has Chirox's wings joined at the shoulder.
 * She has two-toed clawed feet, Piraka legs, and Inika shoulder armor.
 * Makuta Scoras: Lord of Corruption
 * His Armor is Black and Metru Red, and he wears a Kanohi Jutlin
 * His weapons are his sharp claws, a Broadsword, and a Rotary Blade Shield (A Bohrok-Kal shield and Antroz's blades)
 * His chest armor up to you.
 * He wears a cape.
 * He has double-jointed legs and quad-clawed feet that can grip most surfaces.
 * Makuta Skaldak: Lord of Hunger
 * His armor is Black, Metru Green, and Silver, and he wears a Kanohi Avsa.
 * His weapons are a pair of guantlets, both clawed, both with arm blades (the left blade is stationary, the right blade he can launch at his opponents)
 * His chest armor is a Hordika Chestplate.
 * He also wears a cape.
 * He had two-toed webbed Piraka feet, and Inika Legs in green, with Piraka leg armor.

That is all for now, Jahoan 01:10, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I've finished reading Vendetta. It was very good. Could you give me the order of your Fractures Universe storys so I can read them in the correct order? Talk 01:10, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Alright thanks! Talk 12:58, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

Sooo... Can I keep the name and blame it on the infinite universe? :) BandNerd1214 (talk) 19:34, August 23, 2013 (UTC)

I finally have my moc blog up. Thanks again for the code for the table! Talk 21:16, August 24, 2013 (UTC)

Soon, a new letter
It was some time ago Aescela's last letter arrived. I have an... interesting plan this time :D

Chapter 8 was also released, did you miss it? I saw an extremely low feedback this time. I just wondered. -- 19:30, August 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hey!
Haven't seen you in a while. What's up? Also, if I find some pages like Staron that still have the "Matoro1" writer template on them, would you mind if I update the template to your current user? Just to take a load off your shoulders.

Sure, no problem. Thanks for letting me know. :)

I already read through that page, I think I just missed telling you. Do cou think we should add all the letters in a gallery on Chorrum's page?

By the time Thode arrives at Pirai's hut Merall probably already took care of it :D

It's okay, I normally wait for your reviews longer, but this time (before DeltaStriker posted) I just felt it was somehow overseen by many. -- 10:54, August 28, 2013 (UTC)

Uuuh, so many news at once!

I first wanted to ask how you plan that crossover since there is no way my MoCs can teleport to your home, but I guess I understand by your second message now :D

You are probably the only one I know who exactly knows what happens in each chapter... except for me of course!

That Theran looked strange at first because I got so much used to his silver Miru Nuva :D Interesting to see how he wouldv'e looked like with a red one. Never saw that before (and I don't own one either)! Glonors new (?) shape is very well made, it looks complex with the different shoulder design and his gun fits well. I'm totally excited to see those two in a crossover :D

You liked Merall's Inika form that much? I always though something was missing... oh, and be sure to fix her ugly back if you have the pieces :P

I't amazing to see so many characters (Range, Theran, Merall and Aescela) already build or planned from you! I still can't believe those characters are build by somebody else now. Isn't that what only happens to the famous guys? :D

One last thing I would like to ask: In which style will you do the crossover/beach adventure? There are still some sunny days for comics, but I don't know if you would rather write. -- 14:01, August 29, 2013 (UTC)

A new letter
You received a small package by a different flying bird rahi than you're used to see. It contained these two letters:

Have fun translating, I have the original text this time, so if you like I can send it to you.

Hm, I think the pipe is quite the important part for Merall. As you said in your message, I didn't go for the obvious pouks-boob way (Which would look awful on a Toa. I saw it before and it never fitted, always too wide and never done well. It only matches Vortixx.) but I'm more about giving my female caharcters the right proportions. Thats where the pipe came in, the made her Inika thighs look more wider and thus more feminine. I would be very interested to see how you made that connection. It's never to late to improve her current form even when you won't see the change in the comic anymore :)

I think that title you made up would be a good one! You somehow managed to make me want to build more of the Fracture's characters... Maybe a collection of various crossovers we update when we feel like making them? :D

More time is always a good idea, most of the time it improves the quality of what you want to do. It would also match more with the voting at the time because I can easily see your comic being the next featured story after mine! Just take your time with it :) -- 15:53, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Toa Nuva's neck
I saw your image of that fire Lewa Nuva version, so I have a question: ¿How did you manage to make it's neck may move?

Garmagic (talk) 17:11, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Arghklbrxksl .. fire Lewa Nuva brxl ... -- 17:25, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Wow! It's more simple than I spected. Thank you!

Garmagic (talk) 18:19, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

I was looking at some of your pages when I saw something: On Fractures Algor's Trivia one of the Trivia talks about Crystallus. It looks more like it would belong on Crystallus's page. Just thought I should let you know. Heres what it says:  Some aspects of BobTheDoctor27's depiction of Crystallus are strikingly similar to the canon description of Metus, particularly his speaking habits and the suspicion that he was the traitor at one point.

Talk 21:00, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

I completely understand and I'm happy to help :). Talk 21:11, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

I heard about that revamp, read in somewhere on the recent changes while stalking everybody's activity.. :D

I think you captured Merall very well, those silver armor matches with the rest of her quite well. But why have you decided against the tube then? If you don't own a brown one, silver would be fitting here as well don't you think?

I had some characters in mind that are probably your most popular, like Tollubo, Thode or Vilnius for example. I don't own the masks of the latter two however (which I could bricklink) and I'm not sure how many pieces the next revamps for the characters of the third installment will take. There is also still that writing contest going on and having read all the entries I think you can probably choose a character that you want to see in part 3. Since I don't know who you'd like to see I cant really build anything now :) -- 22:11, August 30, 2013 (UTC)

Okay, after reading your last message on my talk page I think you misunderstood one thing; If you win place 1-3 in my contest, you can choose one of your characters to be in the third installment. I just wanted to know who you'll pick :)

I'm looking forward to the Chapter 3! -- 11:12, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Do your Turaga use custom bodys? If so could you somehow show me how to build it? Using the Av-Matoran body doesn't look very good. Talk 17:46, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

It's a good thing I have a couple of Technic pieces lying around. Thanks for the info! And don't worry: I'm good about giving credit ;). Talk 21:16, August 31, 2013 (UTC)

Your Turaga body looks great on Jaller! Thanks a lot! Talk 15:56, September 1, 2013 (UTC)

I just wanted to let you know I have chosen Glacii to be one of my new Turaga (See here if you don't remember this). Thank you for offering him and have a nice day/night! Talk 19:00, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

I'm using my only Pakari Nuva right now anyway. Would Solek's Noble Akaku or Metus's helmet work? As I said in the blog I'm in no rush so if you think neither of those work I can buy one later. Talk 20:06, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Metus's helmet would look too sinister with the way those eyes are slanted (or is it just me?). It will have to be the Noble Akaku for now. I'll probably buy the right mask later. Talk 20:24, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

I have 2 questions to ask you, since you're so epik (I bet you've never heard that :P). How do you create a user sub-page? And should I make a template saying something about how you and the other 3 people let me use some Mocs? I estimate the template would use the word epik at least 3 times. Talk 00:50, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

I said sub-page :P. I believe you have one.

As for the template, I meant as like a badge or award or something. I plan on giving credit on each of thier pages for all things used.

Sorry for the confusion. I could have worded it better :P. Talk 12:53, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

Thought that was how. Just wanted to make sure. How did you know I was going to make it about my rubber duck collection :P?

Someday I'll make one. It'll be something completly pointless (cuz that's how I roll) but it shall exist.

Yes you were more helpful this time ;P. Thank you. Talk 20:05, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

I have an impeccable sense of timing in such matters. I promise to make up for any lateness with comments on your newest blogs. :P http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 21:52, September 5, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, the BobTheDoctor! I was wondering if you could briefly look over my current re-write of the Initiator page; and leave me some opinions and tips later on. It'd be highly appreciated, considering how I want to put more history into the Initiator's instead that they are a highly advanced civilization.

Thanks,  The worst writer on this wiki…  Ever…   Of all time…  04:29, September 8, 2013 (UTC)

Very nice. Since I'm currently in my two week exam block, I haven't been able to read in-depth, but the stuff I did skim over was good. Very good. Very interesting use of Sonitous as well, I must admit, but I definitely approve. And the Bohrok are remarkably... Dalek-like. The bold text you endorse the Swarm Commander's speech with reminds me strongly of the Emperor from Series 1 or the Dalek Supreme for Series 4. XD http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 09:53, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

That's just too nice :)

Just read through Falling in the Black, by the way... Only thing I can say (besides "its an awsum story BTD27 u so cool"), you have inspired me... once again xD

BTW, you can get a first look on the RAE (Rebellion Alternate Universe) Glonor MOC by looking at Rebellion: Prologue :D

Glonor!
It's a great honor for me :D

Glonor

--Aljarreau 19:52, September 10, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I knew you'd notice that xP The only reason for Glonor being a Ko-Matoran is that I was too lazy to figure out Time Slip, Spherus Magna and shit xD

--Aljarreau 15:57, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, right?

BTW, just noticed you completed ''Vendetta... ''I think I am gonna enjoy this :D

I think I'm going to do, like, one new Rebellion character page every day or so. Should not take me more than two weeks.

I wish you good luck then ;)! Talk 19:15, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

As long as he exists I'm happy XD. Take as long as you need I'm in no rush Talk 19:32, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

You're very very welcome :D

--Aljarreau 19:51, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

Cover
Just noticed this... at first I thought I took it myself (but wondered that I couldn't remember doing that), only the I realized it was your work... you captured the tall grasslands near the Farside Village well, it almost looks like the original :D -- 20:06, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

So that's the reason I got confused. You wanted to build Aescela in her Patriots appearance, not the newer version :P It's okay the way you want to build it, I don't think it will do great damage to the color scheme. You also changed some colors on Merall and it looks perfectly fine! If you want to change her looks in any way, her version on MOCpages is quite accurate on how the final version will look like. -- 20:46, September 13, 2013 (UTC)

I bet the "default" look will change once the third installment is released :D It's a bit difficult with that. I used to see the golden Range much longer than the silver one, yet everybody who read the comic never really saw the newer version. In my head I had a different "canon" look of the characters than anybody else :D

If you want to rebuild Merall exactly, also note that she uses the black neck-connector pieces and axles. But you can keep her that way; It's your "own" build and everybody can see the difference between my an your pictures!

The sideway problem was also with Merall when you send me the first link... I don't think I know what went wrong either. I recently checked out some Core Universe characters on brickshelf and I noticed Lesovikk... his pose and background seemed very familiar :D I would like to see your "non official" creations there, but you can't really look for specific user's galleries. Would you mind to send me a link? -- 10:39, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

I'm sure it's just a temporary problem... if I remember correctly, the servers were down here as well. It's fixed now!

You also added a fine collection of images there! They work properly now, and my favorite is where she stands next to the stream. Well done :) -- 22:09, September 14, 2013 (UTC)

Pictures and Turaga Hahli
Whoa, looks like there's a lot of photographing going on :D

Ima take some pictures outside today if I can manage it :D

--Aljarreau 09:03, September 15, 2013 (UTC)

Look at what I built :D

Turaga Hahli

She's quite cute, I believe :3

Guest Writing
Hello there! Whilst my exams hang over my head like the cloud of death, I have decided to step forward to present to you a proposition. :P

Recently, the people involved in the production of MATA have thought it would be fun and exciting to try and get some guest writers involved, and your name has been one of the first to be tossed around. It'd be great to have you onboard, so would I be able to interest you in penning a short script for the series? It'd only be four or five pages at the very maximum, so it shouldn't be too strenuous for you (plus it's comedy; it's always fun to write something light-hearted when you're dealing with big, weighty themes all the time :P). But I also understand you've got plenty of other projects to handle right now, so it's perfectly fine if you don't want to write an episode or simply can't. http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 22:19, September 15, 2013 (UTC)

Excellent! And don't worry; we probably won't need a script from you for a little bit, so that'll give you plenty of time to get all your personal affairs settled. Glad to have you onboard! http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 00:28, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm glad you're so enthusiastic! The best episodes we've had are always imbued with the writer's energy. As for the other characters, you needn't worry. All the filming is done by CallanLoF, and as it stands, you happen to be in luck, since he's actually constructed Turaga Vakama for an upcoming appearance in MATA. So Vakama's presence in your script should be fine. If there are any other complications, I'll let you know. Again, great to have you guest writing! http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 11:24, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

As for Onewa, however, I'm not too sure. I'd have to talk with Callan. My one recommendation is to be careful about how many new characters you introduce. I'll get back to you on Onewa. The idea behind your script sounds like a great deal of fun though, so it'd be a tragedy to put such comic potential to waste. Can't wait to see what else you cook up. http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 11:26, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Feedback feedback
Thank you very much :3

The shield and trident are supposed to be smaller versions of her Toa Tools... Soon to come :D

--Aljarreau 14:59, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

I'm thinking about doing some repaints soon and I was just wondering: what do you typically use for repaints/ what would you recommend? Talk 21:36, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I look forward to seeing your script on YT. And you don't need to worry about delaying the episode to introduce Vakama; it actually might serve our purposes better if we throw him in sooner. As for characters such as Onewa, you don't need to rule them out yet. This is still just a draft and Callan (who produces the episodes) will let us know if he wants something altered or rewritten to make things more convenient for filming. So let your mind run free when writing the script, as you don't need to impose any major limitations this early. I'm glad you're so eager to get involved with the series, and maybe we can see some of your other ideas realised in our second series as the first one draws to a close. :) http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 22:29, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for responding so fast :D! I'll keep that in mind whenever I do repaints. If only I had a steadier hand XD. Also I wish you luck in the next episode of MATA and I can't wait to see what you come up with ;). Talk 23:38, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

That's great to hear! Can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve! :D http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 12:54, September 19, 2013 (UTC)

'Ello there. Would you like to meet up on Mibbit briefly, or are you in the middle of moving? http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 13:03, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

My sense of timing is always a impeccable. Sorry if I've caught you at a bad moment. I'll be sitting in the chatroom if you think you have time. http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 13:12, September 20, 2013 (UTC)

I updated the banner image to Over Your Shoulder. Hope you don't mind, I added Tollubo instead of Thode seeing as how his role is larger in the story.

I read FitB Chapter 15 last night (also corrected a few spelling errors;) ), and noticed numerous obvious references to Nazi concentration camps (the Bohrok torturing the Matoran, forcing them to work beyond their abilities etc.)... Did you and Abc really got inspiration from the KZ, or did it just seem to me like this?

--Aljarreau 14:31, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

And Glonor got finally posted (in my first blog post):

User blog:Aljarreau/ New MOCs! September 2013

--Aljarreau 15:51, September 23, 2013 (UTC)

May I use Tollubo?
May I use Tollubo as a Matoran in my storyline? He would not play a major role (He recruits Hafu into Jahoan's resistence against The Master, the main villian) The story takes place in an alternate universe where the Matoran live on an actual planet, and the Makuta do not exist (However the Master has all the powers afforded to the Makuta, and can create Rahkshi, Bohrok, Krana, Kraata, and thus controls Rahkshi, Bohrok, and anyone with an infected Kanohi mask.)

Also, if you would, I would like to request a MOC build for Toa Ahkmou, who serves as The Master's main servant. (Possibly something like Toa Leontes.)

Jahoan 03:07, September 24, 2013 (UTC)

Ah-ha! You do still exist. I think you missed some news here. -- 12:06, September 29, 2013 (UTC)

Pssst... don't tell anybody :P -- 15:08, September 30, 2013 (UTC)

Don't mention the spelling errors, at all ;)

Oh really? Well, I really could see the Nazi-Bohrok (that's an idea to further explore xD) mistreating the Matoran...

Besides, good you're alive again! I really was beginning to think you were inactive for good... That'd have been terrible :O

--Aljarreau 13:26, October 1, 2013 (UTC)

That's just sad... I hope you find time to write Judgment Day on weekdays...

--Aljarreau 13:46, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

You may want to excuse the idiotic cheering expressed above, but I can't help it.

--Aljarreau 17:36, October 2, 2013 (UTC)

Turaga Vilnius
Did you know that Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania? Zombiejiger (talk) 12:02, October 3, 2013 (UTC)

It is my character but you basically wrote everything in this article for her! It even won the featured article and I couldn't leave you out.

Same goes for Brorag and the others. If you like you can always add that template to the pages. -- 21:18, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

I also see what you did there on Chaeus' page :P

Toa of Plantlife with a Great Kanohi Elda? Hmm... who could that possibly be?

Great work on the rest of the article. It would make the character proud. -- 21:25, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

It's stunning that you get me this excited for each new chapter! I've just read it... and it was amazing. You get to like Chaeus, his death and "transformation" were very dramatic. I've never really written the character, but it seems he was a true hero in these moments. Somebody who could proudly hold the title Toa.

I'll just mention again that a full review will come later as this deserves more feedback. I'm always waiting for it with the same anticipation I've waited for Greg's new stories!

Not to be picky, but I noted a small error: You said Brorag took Chaeus' weapons but it is seen that in the comic Range takes one (and still carries it until now) and gives one to Theran. Unless you have planned for them to be magical and able to teleport themselves... :D -- 23:26, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

It seems that your story also fixes some minor plot errors then... as I've simply forgotten to add any lines for Chaeus :D

Maybe we will see the trap (for the first time visual) in the future. Who knows to which places the team might head in the final installment? Somebody could trip into it...

I basically read your message on my discussion page and right afterwards checked the recent changes... and a new chapter was already there. I just can't go by and ignore that so I had to leave at least a small message! -- 12:30, October 8, 2013 (UTC)

Hello Bob........Jut wanted to say that moc terminator is awesome.ToaTusk (talk) 18:45, October 12, 2013 (UTC)

I mean it seriously! :D

--Aljarreau 19:32, October 12, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, you changed your Karabak pic! Very nice! :D

Night of the Long Knives (There! Another Nazi reference!) was very dramatic indeed, as Vorred said above me.

--Aljarreau 19:46, October 12, 2013 (UTC)

Night Of...
Well, I wikipediaded this term and found out that, in English language, "NotLK" is a term used not only for the massacre in 1934, perpetrated by the SS on the SA, but for several more events...

--Aljarreau 09:04, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Or a "Night of reading Night Of The Long Knives And Listening to Black Sabbath and getting fucking scared"

--Aljarreau 11:53, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Well, especially when it became obvious Chaeus was turning into an undead.

And of course it'll affect it! o.O

BTW, did you read my entry for the contest? *glare*

--Aljarreau 12:51, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you so much! ^^

The figure of the overweight, perverse, immensely rich and greedy antagonist is what I like to call my description of the perfect villain, combining every human trait I hate. I chose the infected Hau as title image to illustrate that corruptness (I think it's obvious, isn't it? Or should I write it in the Trivia?)

I'm thinking of actually splitting the first chapter in two, so that the first part (up to "Protz ran") would be Chapter 1: Swank and the rest being Chapter 2: Fall, because I really can't think of anything coming after what I wrote to this point... Perhaps I'll conclude with Protz being thrown over a cliff   killed by Glonor horribly massacred, or so...

--Aljarreau 14:26, October 13, 2013 (UTC)

BTW: Three new fanfictions of mine shall soon be unleashed upon the Wiki, mainly featuring my Self-MOC, Javan! So I think it is safe for me to say you've seen next to nothing yet! :P

Whodunnit?
The Varna Orde Murder Case... XD That's what I call effective recycling...

Just saw Orde's page, and man, do I dig. That Kanohi looks awesome (Recycling, that's what I said! :D) and I especially like the EXO-FORCE Meca One chest on the... well, chest. Great work!

Dude, you're kinda "stealing" my ideas, BTW. I've been building an Orde for the past week, thinking like, "Yes! That's an official character Bob HAS NOT built yet! It's gonna be super unique!", and now...

Just kidding man, I can only repeat it, great work! :D

(Just keep your hands off Zaria! xD)

I found the messages about the sig and the pieces.... and I have no idea what you're talking about. :/ You sure you got the right person?

Is there a way to change the color of my sig, seeing as that your the creator of it in the first place, then? Ahpolki Inika (talk)Ahpolki Inika. BTW, the question at the bottom ain't mine. Although, it has got me thinkin', where can I find a blank version of the pages used to create the letters?

How do you install the Mata Nui font that you use on the Chorrum/Aescela letters?

That has style dude :D Gonna work on it right now :D

Hey, do you have ownership/use the Custom Bionicle youtube channel? Collector1

Oh, okay. Well tell Jman I'm interested in being a host on Biofact. Collector1

Errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrm, not exactly XD. She actually stole the Chains from Karzahni himself (Wonder how I'm gonna pull that off... Creativity calls! :D).

Yee, kinda. He won't go easily, however. The fight between him and Qiepi (that's her name :P) is gonna be epic.

(BTW, keep in mind Karzahni did not get killed by Velika in the Shasa Universe, for at that point of my storyline, Aqua Magna still was not reunited with Bara and Bota Magna :P)

How do you manage to achieve such magnificent quality and lighting on your pictures? (i.e., the FitB Matoran pictures)

--Aljarreau 16:41, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

What program did you use, if I may ask?

--Aljarreau 17:00, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, okay... That's the thing I usually do, but I never get the same result. Anyway, I am gonna read Besieged tonight :D

--Aljarreau 17:26, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I tried nearly everything, from, indeed, A4 paper sheets to a wall (seen in my Blog Update). Mostly, I use my room's wall, which is white too. I do not use specific lighting, only sunlight and Microsoft Office Picture Manager.

My camera is a SONY Cyber-Shot DSC-WX7 with 16.2 megapixels, outstanding low-light performance and whatnot :P

I think I'll try that with the white cardboard...

Thanks for your help!

--Aljarreau 18:12, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll see what I can do...

--Aljarreau 19:00, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Comic
Waah! Read it when it's fully uploaded :D

If you want to leave feedback just do that on it's discussion page this time :) -- 23:17, October 19, 2013 (UTC)

Besieged
I've been reading it as it comes, and so far I've been vary impressed. The content that has been released so far is interesting and engaging, and I can't wait to see how it plays out in the end. The combination of the different years of BIONICLE makes for some interesting contrast, mainly between Metru Nui and the Brotherhood scenes.

Also, while surfing TBW earlier today I made an interesting discovery. There's a Kanohi that made me instantly think of the undead in your story: the Mask of Undeath. It revives it's user after he/she dies using life force it absorbed earlier. So now I just have to ask if the Toa Metru's masks are stylized versions of the Kanohi :P. If not, I'd assume it has something yo do with the hole in the Great Barrier you mentioned in Chapter 1, perhaps some effect of the mutagenic waters of Aqua Magna on something in Metru Nui.

And btw, have you read Black Water?

DeltaStriker  01:04, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

Well, I read the Prologue and I was hooked. Teridax returning to Destral looking frightened is quite the way to start a story. And I agree, the Brotherhood was ignored way to much before 08, when they decided to suddenly drop eight Makuta into the story after ignoring them for the past seven years.

Well, I didn't even know it existed until then, so I wasn't sure if it was what you were going for. But it made sense and you had said the reason for the disease was cano, so I figured it was worth a shot.

I've always like the original movie designs, they were more of a mix between organic and robotic than the sets were. I get what you're saying with the mouths and digestive systems; it's just kind of hard to picture Nokama's Rau with yellow teeth :P.

That's good to hear, though I'be been trying to figure out how your going to give resolution to the five or so story arcs you've introduced in just two chapters without having the Toa Metru kill everyone in the MU, effectively ending all the subplots you've begun :P.

I honestly can't blame you, Vorred's work has been one of the hotest topics on the Wiki this year, while I've been slowly making progress on my lesser known serials and making monthly blocs complaining about my lack of LEGOs (which I can no longer do, seeing as I got them back just this month :P). But it can be slightly frustrating when you post a story on CBW, WMF and BZPower and you only get one comment (ironically from the least active of the three sites). I eagerly await your analysis of the short.

DeltaStriker  02:15, October 20, 2013 (UTC)

I look forward to seeing how you portray the undead Toa Metru as MoCs. It should be interesting, and I wish you luck with the project.

Yes, having a set endpoint can help keep you on track. You wouldn't believe how many variations the Son of the Suns plot went through before I finally decided to outline it :P

Comic certainly do appeal to a wider audience than novels. However, I have not decent camera and pathetic drawing skills, so I'll stick to Writing for now :P.

Yes, 06-08 certainly had interesting plots, but other than Voya Nui none of the geography was fleshed out much. That, and despite the fact that the Matoran from all three years were capable fighters and self sufficient, the Toa still overshadowed them :/. I'm afraid you won't find to much information on Mahri Nui in Black Water, but I am currently writing a longer serial set in the same Universe about the early months the Matoran spent at the bottom of the Voya Nui Bay, which should prove to be more informative in that respect.

Well, most users have blog updates now, most of which are (somewhat) monthly, so I don't think you'll have to wait long for it to become a wiki-wide trend :P

DeltaStriker  23:29, October 22, 2013 (UTC)

It's fine. I'm quite anxious to see the rest of Besieged, so I can wait a little longer for feedback. Besides, Black Water is only eight paragraphs long, so it's shouldn't take long for you to get through when you have the time.

You know, I'm surprised I never though of using broken parts like that :P It would certainly add to the dead/unnatural factor, as even Vorred's Forgotten Warriors have unbroken pieces.

Yeah. I'd love to make a comic, but my two current settings (Mahri Nui and an Agori nation) would require a bunch of editing on my part, which would most likely end badly due to my lack of experience, decent equipment, and skill. And making an entirely new story would just add something to my plate, so I can only hope for the chance sometime in the future.

Yes, the Voya Nui Matoran were certainly an interesting bunch. My biggest peeve at the moment is that their stories were dropped from the overall plot. After their respective years, no one but Velika showed up again. But then again, with the amount of characters that GregF used post 09, it's not surprising that they were left behind.

Yes, you certainly did :P However, only a few seem to have attracted attention like yours did ( Like Vorred's ).

DeltaStriker  00:50, October 23, 2013 (UTC)

Figures. Well, it's a good thing I'm not particularly impatient :P

Av-Matoran limbs...I honestly don't like them very much. Other than limbs for 08/09 Torsos, they can't be used for much. But yes, some are savagable and son are not.

Wow. That's pretty good, though it would take a heck of a lot of work to make and entire set like that...

Yeah, you'd think at least some main characters would have perished, but most characters were left out and are simply assumed to have migrated to Spherus Magna. A short serial about the fates of some of the neglected characters would have been interesting and could have added more to the sense of resolution that BIONICLE lacked.

Well, you certainly said the right thing and the right time. As I've said before, Vorred's work is quite the hot topic at the moment.

Well that was unexpected :P. I must say, I enjoy the avenges revolving around the Matoran refugees best, though I'm not sure why. Perhaps because it echoes the tone of 06-08, with the self sufficiency of the Matoran. That, and you threw Velika in there. It actually makes sense, seeing as he's a Great Being. If anyone would know how to fix/stop undead Toa, it'd be him. I'm honestly not sure what to make of the Rahaga in Besieged. They seem much more aggressive than they did in the Canon, but not necessarily bad. They seem to simply want to help Vakama and the Matoran, though they have a very roundabout way of showing it. But I sincerely hope you're going to make a Gorast MoC, it would be nice to see her as the powerhouse she was described as instead of a mosquito.

Yes, the situation does not look promising. The chances of anything being added to the canon are slim, seeing as the Memoirs of the Dead contest has been going for almost a year now :/

Yes, it's always nice to have some reference when writing characters you're less familiar with. I remember Norik as the sterotypical Toa of Fire, Iruni being sarcastic and skeptical, Kualus could speak bird, and Gaaki being a slightly more aggressive Gali. The other three didn't get as much screen time, in the movies or books/comics I've read. But they seemed to sympathize with Visork victims, not despise them. And for all practical purposes, the Toa Metru are victims.

Well, he's Velika. Half the things that come out of his mouth take five Matoran to figure out :P. And I don't know what to use for the Kanohi, seeing as they never even showed us what the Mistika Makuta Kanohi looked like originally. I've always been frustrated by that.

And you're welcome. As a writer I know how much feedback can motivate you.

Tell me what caused the virus in Besieged. I won't tell anyone else. :) Zombiejiger (talk) 18:30, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hey, BTD, I just wanted to let you know that your character for my story, Widsith, is being used as Niha's mentor in my story. Would you please send me one in-character paragraph of what Widsith should be like. Try to fit as much of his character into one or two paragraphs. &mdash; Logan  Woerner  (Blog) 18:37, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback!

Hmmm...perhaps I should add a disclaimer: 'This story is a work of fanfiction. Any resemblances to the original BIONICLE story are completely and utterly coincidental.' :P

Well, I was going for a much more organic look for Kalmah. One of my biggest peeves with the 07 story was the lack of explaination surrounding the Pit Mutagen. Why does the water mutate technorganic beings? Why are some beings less affected than others? That's one topic I intend to elaborate upon in later serials. But as of now, I simply made the mutagen make Kalmah organic and more beast like; no sentient being in his right mind would devour a Matoran whole.

Yes, the jaw is...different. I imagined it as the inside of a cone, without the point, filled with a spiral of badly kept up teeth. My intent was to keep the audience from envisioning the canon Kalmah, as this version is very different from that version.

Now that you mention it, the middle of the story is a bit repetitive in that respect. I can fix that in a minute or two.

I see where you're coming from, and it makes sense. I chose Gar because he was canon but not as developed as others. I had debated using Kyrehx, but felt that that would be to reminiscent of her abduction in City of the Lost. If I did swamp to a female character, I would use Idris, seeing as she's the only other canon Matoran down in Mahdi Nui( unless I decided to say that some other canon female Matoran was in the village when it sank). But I'd have to think about it. A female character would also respond differently than Gar did, and I don't want to change to much of the story.

Well, I only had 8 paragraphs to work with :P. That, and Black Water was written to be part of a series. If you've looked at the Rock Bottom article you'll see that Gar is a confirmed character, so hopefully that will remedy the lack of development. If not, I'm not sure what I'll do :P.

Yes, much was left out. Particularly Ko-Matoran. The lack of Ko-Matoran always seemed unfair to me :P.

I'm planning on Rock Bottom being much more Matoran oriented, targeting the aspects of their daily lives immediately after their descent into the sea. They have nothing at the beginning of the story, and it will mainly focus on the hardships they face getting to the point they're at in City of the Lost. I also intend to add to the cast, bringing in other Matoran to fill gaps in their society and to use as red shirts. You never know when you might need someone to be slaughtered by an evil monster :P.

Actually, when I was first writing the story I toyed withheld idea of bringing Gar back in a later serial, either mangled, mutated or undead (or any combination of the three). But I dropped the idea seeing as zombies are beginning to be commonplacent on the CBW :P. But having the Matoran escape would detract from the eerieness of the short. Yes, seeing Kalmah would have given him a nasty shock, but not as unnerving as being eat alive. I'll most likely leave Gar where he is, in Kalmah's stomach :P.

That could be. But it was an unusual year in terms of sets. Their were only two Matoran released at first, along with the Hydruka, then two more released with Karzahni. No set of six like previous years. Thus no Ko-Matoran.

Ooo, Kyros would be interesting. His habbit of changing Kanohi wouldn't go over well with the other Matoran, who would store the extra away in case of an emergency. That, and I would imagine his arrogant nature wouldn't go over well with Matoran like Dekar, the no nonsense type.

Yes, the Red Star was a bad move of Greg's part. I can see using it as a prepulsion unit, but reviving beings? That's just a cheap way of bringing back Lhikan. And it doesn't even work for the one character everyone wants to come back :P.

Really? Interesting. I'd always assumed that he'd made all the Matoran and villains in 06 and 07 were his as well, but I guess not.

I don't get the Kestora. First they appear in a pocket dimension, then the Red Star. It's like Greg shoved them in wherever he had a gap in the story.

I never particularly liked Sidorak, at least, the movie version. He was oblivious to Roodaka's schemes, and his voice... argh, no, just no. He sounded like some stereotypically fat king might in a kids cartoon :P. It makesyou wonder how he got into power in the first place :P.

Template for the letters' pages
When asked you about the letters a while ago, I was talking about the pages, not the font for the alphabet. XD Where did you get the PAGES used for the letters?Ahpolki Inika (talk) 12:57, October 25, 2013 (UTC)Ahpolki Inika

I see. And yes, that's probably what happened. Somebody built a green titan in 07 and slapped the name 'Karzanhi' on it :P.

"Jerks for the sake of being jerks", lol. You should have somebody say that in The Powers that Should Be :P. But yeah, they were used once then randomly shoved into the story again. They're most likely something like Zyglak, a mistake that happened during the creation of Matoran but more successful than the Zyglak. Made to be guards for Great Being's stuff. Unless they ARE the Great Beings :P.

True, it can be somewhat humorous how gullible and vain he is. But it does make you wonder....

I agree. It doesn't do him justice.

Hey look, I got a vote :D

You know, I had an idea earlier today while watching one of TTV's videos (BIONICLE Autopsy, to be exact). The video was discussing what would have happened if BIONICLE had NOT ended, and if it was still popular. And out of nowhere came a way LEGO could bring back BIONICLE and appeal to both new and old audiences. What if Mata Nui returned to Spherus MAgna millennia after the events of 2009, only to find it war torn and almost all of his former allies missing. This would do two things, introduce new main characters while still keeping the same story and some of the old characters to appeal to both new and old fans. Of course, the whole war concept would be a bit dark for the modern LEGO (I mean, look at Chima. They call that war?), but that's a minor detail :P.

I believe it was from June/July of this year. I could send you a link to it, if you want.

Yes, it'd be an interesting mix of the nostalgic BIONICLE of old and something new. And if they wanted to being back some of the older characters, they could do so (in theory) and as long as they did it right the characters could be both new and old at once. Of course, there'd be a new main antagonist, though I have no clue who that would be :/

The one thing that should (thankfully) never happen is a BIONICLE/HF crossover. That would just end badly, unless it's only a simple short of Tahu melting Furno into a useless hunk of molten metal :P

Dang, that is just too awesome... Guess now we know who stole Chorrum's leg! :D

--Aljarreau 15:43, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Yah, and by the way, thank you so much for telling me to experiment with the photos' brightness ;)

Before, I always did automatic light-up, now I took it into my own hands, and ta-da: Javan

The lower part isn't perfect, I'll use white cardboard underneath my MOC next time ;)

Again, thank you :D

--Aljarreau 15:56, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you :D

You've seen nothing yet, trust me ;) Javan's Toa form is a MOC I've been working on since May, and it's FINALLY going towards the end. If you want, I'll send you a few WIP pictures... But as I'd like to keep him completely secret until the official publication, I wouldn't appreciate posting them on Wikia or Brickshelf... Do you happen to have Skype?

--Aljarreau 17:34, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Hm, too bad... :(

Guess ya'll have to wait then :P

Vilnius/Jollun/Other Toa Body
I wanted to let you know that I figured out how to build Vilnius' body using the picture of Alternate Jollun. I modified it and it is now on a Krana Za-possessed, staff wielding Toa of Plasma (NOT the one in Mutation). :) Zombiejiger (talk) 18:01, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Maybe you have time to chat today? On WikiMetru?

--Aljarreau 18:28, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Ah well, okay then ;) No problem!

--Aljarreau 18:46, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Totally secret WIP
There you go :P

Into The Void will be a serial of mine featuring Javan (as a Matoran, though). Into The Void is also both a super-heavy Black Sabbath song from the 1971 LP Master Of Reality and kind of my catchphrase for the Shasa Universe.

--Aljarreau 19:25, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, you guessed it. Yes, it is true, I heavily inspired Javan's color scheme from Over Your Shoulder's Tollubo, as it was the way he looked like when I started to get active on the Wiki. I remember being very confused when it suddenly changed and he got his white Pakari XD.

Well, you know, you can't wear off an important influence that easily. Trust me, the whole MOC, besides the color, looks very different from OYS Tollubo. Most importantly, he uses almost no black, in contrast to aforementioned throwing up Toa of Light.

(In the beginning, I was on a "OMG BTD27 did it it's so cool I'll make a thing similar to this and it'll look equally cool" trip, I think you know what I mean. The same happened to me with Gringat, a year earlier - interestingly, I wanted to make a dark blue Gringat clone then... *INCEPTION* (kinda))

The very first scene I wrote for him was also inspired by the very first Tollubo scene of Whispers In The Dark (you know, my favorite scene of the whole serial and my favorite Tollubo scene, as I told you the other day) : Javan makes his entrance in front of two rookie Toa, his Noble Rau scarred, his Zamor Cannon smoking... That scene still exists and will be used (in a different form, of course), but looking back, I notice how much of a plagiarist I was XDDDD

Actually, the Rau Hordika (it isn't a Rau Hordika, BTW - just a Stelt-style Rau XD) was my first choice from the very beginning, but I never managed to get my hands on it. I went through literally every single Kanohi LEGO had brought out (I did not buy all of them, though :P), and indeed stuck to the dark grey Noble Rau you can see on his Matoran form now for a very long time. The day I finally got to buy the Rau Hordika... I think you can figure out what I felt :D

It's just (in my eyes) the perfect choice. Big enough not to create an awkward head size-body size contrast, right color and mean-looking - damn fitting with his character.

--Aljarreau 19:50, October 27, 2013 (UTC)

These are great! Thank you very much! I'll get back to you soon on that YT message. http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/d/d4/VamprahSymbol.JPG  Welcome  to   the   Fezpedia!  http://images.wikia.com/custombionicle/images/5/55/PohatuSymbol.JPG 03:34, October 28, 2013 (UTC)

You may well be proud :D

Oh, that is so great to read! In all honesty, I always kinda disliked Tollubo's original white-gold form (which reminds me that in the beginning, I wanted to make Javan an Av-Toa too... xD), because the colors did not flow together as nicely as they do in his OYS form. There's white, gold, black, dark grey, light grey, silver, blue pins, red pins, the most annoying thing being (for my own part) the silver Tryna. I remember looking at it many times and thinking "DAMN BTD JUST PAINT IT!!!" :P

The white Tryna sure will bring more integrity in his color scheme :P If I were you, I'd try to use only white and gold pieces, and paint everything I don't have in white/gold :D

BTW, thank you so much for making me this custom signature... I only noticed it yesterday while going through my talkpage! XD I hadn't noticed it earlier because it was it your colors, so I just overlooked it XP Thank you, again!

(how do I change its colors, BTW?)

Oh, and that Bohrok X revamp looks just so awesome. Mata blue and black have always been an epic win.

Truly ironic indeed :P

I'll be building a Toa of Light in soon too, using my/your torso technique (you know, with the Metrutoran limbs... We gotta take photos of our respective techniques and show them to each other to figure out whether it was simple randomness or pure telepathy!). It'll be using a golden 01 Kaukau :D I betcha don't have it XP

Damn, nigga! I have the silver Kaukau, the silver Hau, the silver Pakari, the golden Kaukau and the golden Kakama. Plus these 2010 Hau, but they suck, don't they?

That Book
You know those giant crowds in Metru Nui's coliseum? Every single one of my characters could've been one of those. That should explain your question; My Farside Toa along with my other characters could exist in the Core Universe. I can never be 100% sure unless Greg confirms it :D

The project sounds very interesting. It can be a meet-up of some of our characters on that planet, explaining their origin story and so on. The only thing that bugs me is the title.

I always understood that The Non-Canon Adventures of BobTheDoctor27 and Vorred were all about funny short stories, set in to real timeline where characters could be seen together in a way they normally never can. I also think the title "Non-Canon" would match for that and not exactly a canon origin story.

What do you think? -- 20:04, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations on wining the Halloween Writing Contest! :D Talk 21:05, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but I think I forgot which hint that was :D And with that duplication... it must mean they "cloned" the Toa Mata somehow. That's way too far from the original canon, that won't be their origin :)

That working title is genius.

And congrats on winning this contest! I'm sure your influence will grow even bigger now! -- 21:39, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

Mind if I borrow it (or at least, a sample of it)? The Shattered has a thing for interesting/unusual objects, literature, people, substances, and more. It also has a habit of experimenting as well. As for the experiments themselves, well.... let's just say that its the kind of stuff that gives even Teridax nightmares.Ahpolki Inika (talk) 02:06, October 30, 2013 (UTC)Ahpolki Inika.

Could I use Glonor in my story Storm of Deception (Read it if you haven't yet, the Prologue is quite dramatic), He would play a minor (but important) role in the second part, helping Altron get over the "death" of Quito (And beats a dangerously drunk Onu-Matoran senseless).
