Thanks for liking my stuff even though you don't like Bionicle.  I just happened
into it before I got into the system stuff.  The reason I was drawn to it was
because it reminded me of the Micronauts I had as a kid.  It has a simple
robotic quality that I like.

The "pelotas grandes" are actually the cannister lids from the Toa Metru sets.
They were designed to snap together and form a ball.I was thinking that they
held some propellant and a few rockets ala Quaelun-Rau style.
