shoutouts to the weirdest official bionicle set ever, Umbra
weird shit:
- looks like a combiner but isn’t
- had ignika electronic weapons as a stick
- wearing a toa metru mask for some reason
- also has a rhotuka spinner for some reason
- roller blades???
- covered in mad max spikes
- green and orange, the best color combination for looking like vomit
- his name is Umbra, and actual word, instead of having the traditional Bionicle “-ahk” naming scheme for bad guys
- just kinda shows up in the story once and never turns up again
- wasn’t formally announced as a set at all, just kinda showed up at walmart one day
- are you looking at this thing??? what the fuck
I beg to differ.
weird shit:
- Cyclops
- However, in-story, cyclops eye is fake and he has two eyes hidden somewhere else.
- So cyclops and not cyclops at the same time. Mindfuck.
- Rhotuka spinner explodes from his chest.
- Apparently is a Rahi (Bionicle animals).
- Is sapient and veeeeeeeeeeery wise, however. Also has some wicked antidote powers and knowledge.
- So animal and not animal at the same time. Mindfuck²
- Not sure how the face works. It’s only composed of a bohrok helmet and a long tube ending with cyclops eye. Has no mouth, nose or anything.
- Left hand replaced by a knife-hook thingy, like a pirate.
- In the movie, he gloriously emerged from the bottom of a lake all zen style. Not sure how he survived without air that long. Maybe a fish too (at this point I would not be surprised).
- Stuff of legends. However, had minimum in-story appearances.
- His name is Keetongu. No need for further explanation on that.
