The new Bohrok sets, as seen in Tim's scans at FBTB (http://www.fbtb.net/),
are reputed to be the "spiders" we have seen pre-production sketches of
recently.  Good, bad or Rahi...we don't know yet, but here's what I think I see:

Exo-suits!

Don't these look like armored suits (mecha style) for the Toa to use? There
are as many of them as Toa, and the colors correspond too. They have a
"canopy" that looks like it might cover a cockpit of sorts. It would make
sense that the Toa could be "beefed-up" in this way, rather than introduce
new Toa, or what-have-you. This is basically what everyone has been doing in
theor MOCs, just in a more "playable" format.

So whaddaya' think? Might I be on to something here?

I don't think you're on to something, if you look closely, they have the same
size feet as the Toa, that gives you the size perspective, they look smaller
than the Toa actually, but wider. I believe that they are Rahi.

We'll need to wait for Tim to get us some better scans, but to me the feet
don't look like the Toa feet at all...they look almost "built" (dare we hope
for the integration of System pieces? Nah!).

The storyline so far has different Rahi in different climates of Mata Nui,
so  as Rahi, it doesn't make sense that they would be all identical.
Besides, these must be the things that we see bursting from whatever in the
"hatching" image. That image tells us about the "truth", and that sounds
good, not evil (at least in a good-bad storyline like Bionicle), so I'm
still betting tha these are some sort of aid for the Toa.

We'll see!

I dare say that those feet look small enough to fit in the slots underneath the Toa's feet... I like that idea. But how would it work for Pohatu? (...) (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)

(...) I agree here. In the hatching picture (URL) the upside-down flame looking object in front. Now look at Gahlok's weapons. (URL) think they are the same thing. I guess that tells us that these Bohrok guys, whatever they are, ball up. Cool. David (23 years ago, 30-Oct-01, to lugnet.technic.bionicle)
