Lewa: Master of Jungle

Okay then everyone, it's finally happening. There's no denying Bionicle's coming back now and we've got official images for some of the sets from the first wave. One interesting thing to note here is that Lewa's now the Toa (or master) of jungle rather than air which makes this seem more and more like a reboot than a continuation. But onto the set itself, I'm really liking those spike pieces being used as shoulder armour and it really does give some well needed bulk to this figure. The mask looks a bit off but never the less I'm willing to go with it. The use of the yellow works with the jungle theme they're going for although I'm not sure how well it would fit air.

We also have the return of mata green by the looks of things which is fitting. However, it feels like they should have included just one more green piece and maybe one less silver. The weapons look unique enough but what interests me most of all is the knee-cap pieces which look a lot like the Inika leg armour, or course it's not but it's definably hearkening back to that. The spider looks rather basic in this one and maybe a bit out of place in the jungle with it's solid blue colour but it looks good enough to me. Looking at the background of the set we seem to have these huge spires which could have some relevance to the story and that's definably spiders I can see climbing up them. Whether they're attacking sacred objects or merely climbing them remains to be seen. Overall it looks like a good but rather basic set to me. Air (or what used to be air and is now jungle) was often my favourite but this set, while not terrible, is just not up to the standard of many of the others which look absolutely incredible. Anyway, be sure to share your thoughts on Lewa below.

Bionicle Returning?

Purely romoured at the moment but if it is fake then someone went to a lot of effort to create this:

Rahkshi Gui [Initial Design]

So I know it has been a long time since anyone's posted here, but the other day I was suddenly urged to open up some of my LEGO boxes and just make something. I went in not knowing what I wanted to design, but I think I made something cool consequently. Turning to the Zoids franchise for inspiration, I designed the Rahkshi Gui (its name is a tip of the hat to its exact inspiration, the BioRaptor Gui); it is a powerful, well-rounded aerial drone that was designed in a world that I conceive to be very different then the traditional Bionicle universe. Years after the fall of the Makuta many Toa have simply died of old age. In their replacement, the Matoran/Agori employ drones to settle the occasional conflict. One tribe however has turned to the ways of the arcane, mixing modern and ancient technologies to create one of the most powerful armies [of all time]. Its spread from the North has left a trail of devastation in its wake with virtually nobody stopping it. Until ... something, I haven't worked it out that far yet. Nevertheless, I thought it would be cool to share it with you guys...

Yours Truly,
0M3G4 (aka Biomaniac)

Operation 117: Standoff

Mission: Defeat Heirde and his Soldiers at Mortalitas Bridge and find a lead on General Khaotic and his master Sokore.
Location: South of Veilik's Stronghold
Time: 24:15:00
Squad: Team Leader Pyros, Shayla, Toa Mazeka and General Brutaka.

Landinng on the South-West of Veilik's Stronghold, the Team prepared for their Mission to capture Heirde and further move up to Veilik's Stronghold and regroup with Vakor's Platoon. Equipping themselves with Protosteel Armor and Weapons, they were mission-ready. It wasn't the right word to say that they were just a Squad because and entire battalion consisting of O.O.M.N Soldiers and natives, the Glatorian and strangely brave Agori and Matoran Warriors. Mazeka took a look at the Matoran and saw the Matoran he once was...

"What's up Mazeka!" Shayla asked

"I don't know, I guess It's just I know how they feel, I mean I was reckless as a Matoran, I always took the risks I knew were only for Toa, or heroes like Axonn," said Mazeka

"uh hmm." groaned Brutaka

"And Brutaka of course." exclaimed Mazeka

"Thank you, I may have a mind-link with Makuta essence but I'd like to think that after all I've been through I can be considered a hero at least a Soldier!" muttered Brutaka

"Well you get another chance here Brutaka!" shouted Pyros

As their Vehicles rode away, Pyros winked at the Pilot on the Aircraft, the Pilot nodded, the plan was underway. The Jets slashed past the Air whilst Special-Operation Tanks moved through the Mud and Dirt leaving behind tracks. Snipers were positioned all around the Trees and bushes around the forest. After battling Sokore since the Toa Hagah Rebellion, he knew his enemy as well as he knew him meaning he knew Sokore would use anything to his advantage and a trail is a very good thing to get you found and killed.

They approached the DZ when Pyros called in the Airstrike and after a few seconds the future battlefield was already in ruins. There was ensuing chaos butas the entrances opened Heirde gathered his Soldiers who grabbed their weapons ready to kill. As the convoys neared closer and closer, Pyros called in Tank Fire as Brutaka jumped from his Vehicle and sent a signal to his Soldiers, the battle was commencing!

Brutaka unleashed his mighty Dual Sword which delivered chills to the spines of his enemies. As they shivered in cold fear they slowly began to attack but it wasn't even a fight as Brutaka just blocked their blows and crushed them with his bare hands. Mazeka then threw his Ice Picks that used to belong to Toa Hordika Nuju at the Soldiers and at the slightest impact, froze them. Brutaka then kicked them leaving them shattered particles of Ice. Pyros and Shayla with a couple of the natives quickly ran out blasting with all their firepower knocking out many of the Hostiles. Pyros located Heirde on the battlefield and quickly parried away his foes and smiled realising he was going to get to stab Heirde repeatedly and until his nasty face full of bruises vanquished, at the thought of killing him Pyros held his Plasma Sword tightly and literally barged through an entire Army of Dark Warriors until reaching Heirde.

"It's over Heirde you are going to have a pitiful death and trust me for old times sake I'll make it painful and slow!" grunted Pyros

"Fool, you actually believe you can win, oh look an angry clown with balloon swords, bring it on!"

Swords clashed, sparks flew off dissipating in the air, blows delivered and recieved, cuts and bruises in the Armor. It was a standoff. Behind an Army raced to the gates and O.O.M.N Helmets thrown into the sky. Brutaka lumbered to the Army, held his Gauntlet Gatling Turret and fired decimating and disentrigating enemy soldiers leaving behind trays of ash evaporating in the earth. Brutaka chuckled as he sliced them in half. Meanwhile Pyros and Heirde were still at a standoff. Evwntually Pyros gained the upper hand and was about to silence Heirde,however, he was jolted from behind.

"Mercenary you always did have a thing for entrances!" applauded Heirde

"Doesen't matter today Heirde, you have to get out of her now, somebody's coming after you and with an Army!" replied Mercenary

"Who him?(pointing to Vakor)!" commented Heirde

Mercenary replied with a no, but unfortunatly Vakor fired a shot from his rifle going straight through Heirde's brain killing him. Vakor glanced to Krakua and Cystisu and they engaged fire ambushing the many Dark Soldiers. Next was Mercenary, Brutaka and Mazeka and Shayla arrived with support and Pyros got back up. Standing in the face of fear Mercenary's only impulse was ATTACK...

Mercenary performed a beautifal roundhouse sending Mazeka hurling backwards. Reloading he then fired at Shayla's face which she blocked with a powerful Nova Blast. She gasped percieving that Mercenary remained completly unharmed all that came out was steam. Mercenary annoyed blasted her with repeated shots knocking her unconscious. Pyros moved in to attack but Mercenary broke his wrist and as Vakor fired used Pyros as a hostage knocking him unconscious. Vakor and Cystisus attacked multiple times but Mercenary just grinned and beat them and punched them until they finally went down. Krakua and Brutaka attacked and broke Mercenary's defence. Krakua unleashed his powerful Sonic Doom manouvere distracting Mercenary and Brutaka gathered all his power tumbling Mercenary down into the dirt.

"You did well but me and Krakua are veterans don't expect to beat us at any time, I managed to defeat the Toa Nuva and 6 Voya Nui Matoran all at once with one swipe of my Sword!" boasted Brutaka

"You may have won this time but my Master is more powerful than any of you, once he's reached his full power, his domination of the universe will be inevitable!" answered Mercenary

With that conversation over, Mercenary teleported himself away. Since the age of the Toa Nuva technology had greatly improved. Now that two battles were over only one more plan has to come into place and the location of Khaotic would be revealed and with his capture the location of Sokore can also be found. Helryx worked with all of her time to work out the plan. Sentox + Heirde to Veilik may be the chance to find out Khaotic which would ultimatly give the location of Sokore, but with the appearance of Mercenary, Helryx was left to wonder. How many people could there be until we get Sokore? These words filled her head for days but she realized the Operation would give the answer...

Operation 117


Mission: Take Enemy Northern Base and interoggate Captain Veilik.
Location: Northern Regions of Spherus Magna
Time: 18:11:49 Friday 4th March
Squad: Cystisus, Vakor, Krakua and Platoon of O.O.M.N Soldiers.

Without Weapons, unarmed on the highway to hell, that's what happened on a grave, treachorous day. Vakor and Cystisus were leading a Platoon of O.O.M.N Soldiers through the battlefield horizon, but they were ambushed by Sentox and his Tribal Militia with their Water Spears and Long-Ranged Scoped Rifle. They were a Tribe of domestic and savage hunters but their technology was surprisingly advanced. These skills and the intellect of their Chieftain attracted the attention of Sokore who had hired them as hunters to stop the Toa Operation and now it seemed like they would. Hiding and taking cover behind the Terrain firing their weapons wounding many soldiers in the process. Vakor ran to his Double Bladed Magnetism Sword reaching out with his hand where he was pushed by two Hunters. Cystisus witnessed this and ran to his position. Two more hunters leaped out and tried to kill him, however, he held his arm and kicked one of the Hunter's vulnerable Armor and kneed him in the face. The other Soldier lunged but Cystisus blocked this attack and used his opponent's power against him. While the Hunter was in Mid-Air he disarmed him and took care of the other one. Grabbing the enemy's Rifle he used it which killed many of the Hunters. Looking back at Vakor he noticed five Hunters crawling on the floor, Vakor came up to them and knocked them down executing them with a single, powerful blast from his Modified Reflex Sniper.

"Nice, not being held back by the code has clearly worked out for us, these infidels don't deserve to live!" exclaimed Cystisus

"Maybe, but remember we are to stay our blade from an innocent we can't always disrespect our Toa Code, we aren't killers but there deaths are neccessary!" shouted Vakor

"Allright, our Soldiers are still being attacked from the Eastern Mountains, they need support, those Tribal Soldiers know the terrain better than us but their fighting style isn't as good and refined as ours." replied Krakua

With nods, they lumbered back to the trees as cover, blasts and shots raged past the heroes with a SWOOSH! Vakor nodded to his fellow Toa and they knew what he was thinking, a powerful, combined elemental power. Unleashing a raucous sound as they released their weapons, they fired all the energy creating an EmP Blast which was helped by Carbon Dioxide released from the trees scattering the hostiles to pieces and sending the rest scraping at their feet to get away. Sentox screamed at the top of his voice petrified of dying at the hands of Toa. Despite his 'scared out of his life' expression he braced up, collected two Spears ready for a battle. He used a unique rotation technique to hit Cystisus at the back of his Kanohi Miru Nuva. Vakor anticipated his next move and swung his weapon at the tip of Sentox's hands braking his control over the weapons.

"No I will not fall!" screamed Sentox

"What ever, you're not the one we need, so just get out of here. Go tell your Master that we will not lose this War, we have the determination and the firepower whereas he has cowards like you at his side. So you can either carry that message and get killed the next time we meet or you can get out of here, never bother us again and live to see the Sun rise again!" demanded Krakua

"We might need him for...!" reminded Vakor

"...fine, just please let me live, I was only hired to do my job." pleaded Sentox

"Just get out of here slimy piece of...!" groaned Cystisus

"Allright, Enought, we have to continue how many of us are left,"

Counting the Soldiers, none of them had perished but five were wounded and 10 were seriously hurt. Glancing, Vakor remembered that Megazarak was leading a Squad with Axonn to destroy the Towers securing Veilik's Stronghold whilst Pyros and Shayla were leading an entire Battalion alongside Brutaka and Toa Mazeka at Mortalitas Bridge against Heirde and his Shadow Toa. They could regroup with Pyros's and Shayla and help them overcome Heirde's Army and then they could execute a distraction to stop attention from reaching Megazarak's Squad and then they could lead a massive Siege against Veilik's Stronghold and unleash a Bomber Squad to weaken the defences and launch the new M1 Tanks to destroy enemy forces and enemy aircraft and vehicles.
Agreeing to this strategy they contacted Helryx to notify the others of the new plan. Plan Operation 117 is now in motion...

Bionicle MoC: Fire Creation: Axuro

Axuro:
Axuro was a Toa protection regions throughout the Matoran Universe. However he was a very secretive Toa and did not have a Toa Team. Unusually different from his Fire Toa brethren, he was a stealty Toa. After a while he became known for his reputation and his captures were famous. He usually donned different Helmets, sometimes not even Kanohi Masks to become 'incognito'. His targets didn't know what hit them before he striked and they woke up in a Pit. However, some who knew they were corrupt and would be targets hired Dark Hunters to protect them. Knowing this he changed his old ways and worked as a team. Then he enjoyed working in a team and lead them...

N.O.T.E: Axuro and my other M.O.C Velox are both for MasterHakua's Toa Team. Also MasterHakua if you are intrested in this Fire MoC for your team then I would change his helmet, not neccessary but I think a Red Kanohi would fit better than Malum's Glatorian Helmet e.g. Vakama Metru's Helmet.
