Turbo has a lot of teal on him, right? Maybe Amazon/Swamp/Lewa. You could
also throw him in with Electro/Spark and go with the CyberSlam color scheme.
On the other hand, Onyx/Onua will probably have a serious part shortage...

Well, the problem here is the name is throwing you off. Power's name
implies the "electricity" connection to Electro and Spark, but if you look
at him he's really more related to Jet and Blaster. In fact, if you look at
the background to his package photo, it looks remarkably like it used to be
Jet's domain. I'm sure Blaster's presence will more than make up for the
lack of a Bionicle descendant.
Pohatu causes a problem, too, as his main color is brown, which is found on
no Throwbots and no RoboRiders. Naturally the tan puts him with Granite and
Dust, but the brown still might be a bit hard to handle.
The hard part, of course, will be placing Millennia.

Ooh, don't worry. As soon as I get bored with Kopaka, his parts will be
lying in a pile in my bedroom, along with those of Frost and Ski. And once
I manage to get my hands on some more of all three lines (there are still
Throwbots on the shelves in some stores around here), I'll do more.

And I KNOW somebody will be considerate and take pictures of Brickfest for
the benefit of those of us who can't leave town without their "anything in
real life arranged with people you know only online will result in you being
murdered six times and then kidnapped twice all in the same night" parents.
Not that there's a problem with being safe, but I consider the risk in going
to Brickfest approximately the same as the risk in going to school--possibly
even less, considering the climb in school violence.

| (...) I agree. These "action figure" seem to thrive on psuedo re-makes of past lines. The Throwbots, though interesting, were completely inadequate as action figures. The Bionicals are the closest things to that end. Initially, when Throwbots came (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jun-01, to lugnet.technic.roboriders, lugnet.technic.slizer)
