So, are they a bit like lobsters with a soft tissue on the inside with a tough and hard exterior on the outside or is it more like our body with quite a bit of implants?

Also, the sets show them having a hard exterior at least, if that is storyline correct, so would that be their armor which they cover themselves in, or would that be a organic substance like our bones?

~SB~

Does that mean that there could be Agori/Glatorian babies :o?

If the answer is yes, then I will say something for that answer:


NNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Interesting info, Greg. I'm having trouble picturing that in my head (not that I don't like the idea). If one were to remove all of the mechanical implants/armor from a BM inhabitant, what would they look like? As in, do they have skin, scales, fur, ETC. underneath a sort of mechanical exoskeleton, or are the mechanical components more essential to them then that? Also, were the implants created/designed/implanted by someone, or are they natural parts of BM inhabitants' anatomy?

So... do Glatorian have digestive systems that let them get rid of wastes?

And does Bara Magna have restrooms?

Cool, so they're now bio with mechanical not mechanical with bio. :P

Very cool.

I think it's interesting that Greg answers one question and the response is twenty more on whether the Glatorian can go to the bathroom or not. Really? :P

Great info.
I'm glad that they are somewhat biomechanical.
Still very interesting/

Eh, figured as much. Due to the fact that I have heard that the Glatorian and Agori aren't completely mechanical, and that they're more organic, I've'd guessed something like that. I just can't wait for the stories.

A few answers:

1) No, they are not "born" with the implants.
2) I have no idea how they will deal with this in the movie or if they will deal with it in the movie. I have not seen any movie animation.
3) This was a story team decision, based in large part on our wanting to distance BM from old BIONICLE. If we just did "Toa" again without calling them Toa, that would be pretty dull.
4) The whole "ocular implants" thing was an example -- I'm not saying every bone hunter has that or even that most do, it's just an example of something they might have that would be useful.
5) It is always going to be difficult to do organic with Technic pieces. At the same time, if you look at a 2001 Toa set, you can't tell he has organic muscle tissue and organic lungs or anything organic at all, but he does. You just use your imagination.
