I think Mutran is the Makuta's chronicler. His weapon looks like the chronicler's staff He wrote the Mutran Chronicles He is the only Makuta known to have carved a story on a wall
personally i like solek but i think its funny to see the arch nemesis in every bionicle film in the next 10 years spoken by eljay:Di hope so someone will find him and take him...sometimes....
***** It became a meme because of how hilariously wrong it is. Funny things quickly become memes. If you want to do more research on it, I suggest visting KnowYourMeme.
I did get this set at the time that it came out. I remember my Dad and I were at Wal-Mart one night and we saw this set on the shelf and he decided to get it for me right away since he noticed it was a limited edition. That was smart of him and quite surprising to me. So if the time of the release was the best time to have gotten him, I'm lucky I did when I did. To other users, No, Eljay and I are NOT the same person just in case you got the idea that we were.
Wait, we *have* had these before? Bricklink tells me the piraka leg armor is new on Mutran in "pearl light grey". Spinax had them in "flat silver". The more you know.
ahh Mutran...you will always be my favorite makuta, while everyone else is evil because of power, they feel like it's best or even if they were morally right, mutran was evil just cause! I absolutely love the mad scientist personality. wish there was a new mask design but I love the poison apple green color!
+Toa_Inika-7901 I used to think that too, however when I compare Chirox and Mutran they really only look similar because they both have the same mask and are both tall.
Beyond Awesome I'm just talking about Chirox and Mutran in particular. They are the most similar out of all of them. Also, the similarity wasn't the only factor to my opinion. And I guess"dumb" wasn't the best word to use. More like "very unappealing". I don't really like their color scheme, both of their hands look odd, Mutran's weapons I could make out of spare parts, and I had enough '08 sets as it was.
Mutran has 27 total points of articulation (shoulders(2), elbows(2), hands(2), 2 in each wing(4), 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom claws on each hand(8), 1 in the middle claw on each hand(2), head(1), thighs(2), knees(2) and feet(2))
Literally the only wave 1 2008 set I never got. I don't know why I remember Mutran having a more complex build. He and Vican are basically just recolor OC's with limited design variation.
I really like this and this is honestly probably my favorite to be released in 2008 I just think that they both look pretty cool and the color scheme is awesome in my opinion
Were lime joints really that much more fragile than all the other colored joints? My brother and I each have our own Toa Mata Nui (in keat orange) and we had so many broken joints that we had to combine our sets to make one whole Toa Mata Nui.
Also this is great as a parts pack, since all their pieces are used in other sets. And if you're wondering yes I did get this set. I recently just rebuilt it, however the wings on Vican broke off. :( They seem to do that a lot...
Once the recaps are finished, are you going to review... Hero Factory ? (i know, i know you guys are a bionicle based channel but Hero Factory introduced the CCBS that are currently used in Bionicle, as well as any other Constraction theme. Not to mention, it was marketed on it's first year (well, half of a year) as "from the creators of BIONICLE")
+Arzaki Presumably Lego thought the re-designed joints were more stronger and brighter. But these things are brittle and very prone to cracking, epsecially with the 2009 fists/hands. The joints only recently got stronger after hero factory created the 2.0 heroes and Savage Jungle mission heroes that the parts were re-designed and thicker like before 2008, and the new piece "3.0 joints" as i call them are less prone to breaking so far.
This just in, Spheres are also known as Cubes according Eljay's logic.
Giving me flat earther vibes
I think Mutran is the Makuta's chronicler.
His weapon looks like the chronicler's staff
He wrote the Mutran Chronicles
He is the only Makuta known to have carved a story on a wall
"I am Mutran. Makuta of Blight."
And he had a pet rock that later became a mountain

I got this set at Legoland california in may of 2007 so I doubt it was an exclusive
@@IcyDUD3 Well, whether it was or wasn't, I think my dad thought that it was at least.

Eljay, I think you forgot a pro for Vican. HE'S ADORABLE!!!
With only UPPER teeth!? Definetly a NO!
agreed best matoran
0:12 I broke some pieces in my time as a bionicle fan that is straight up murder.
"big orange cube in his chest" thats a sphere Eljay.
This is how I play with Bionicles I don't have the kidneys to buy
You actually did chainsaw him RIP
i'm assuming the static arm/leg pieces of the matoran sets and the general barebones appearance of the larger sets were due to cost?
2:33 Hate it when that happens
Wait, we *have* had these before? Bricklink tells me the piraka leg armor is new on Mutran in "pearl light grey". Spinax had them in "flat silver". The more you know.
+Tai Wind Flat Silver is slightly darker.
My Spinax has pearl light gray ones

7:35 you just called a sphere a cube. Good job XD
Sorry if that sounded mean
Ever since '08, I've always thought they looked dumb. Especially because they were mostly copies of Chirox and Kirop
Not really, the only similarities on them are the masks and the wings.
Beyond Awesome And the torsos, and limbs, the overall build.
Toa_Inika-7901 Ya but all the makuta have similar builds, limbs and torsos. So does that mean they all look dumb?
+Toa_Inika-7901 I used to think that too, however when I compare Chirox and Mutran they really only look similar because they both have the same mask and are both tall.

What was it that made lime-green parts more fragile than any other?
I am pretty careful with my parts, but somehow only the lime ones still break.
Yeah, I did get this one in 2008. I loved the phantoka sets and the lime and black colour scheme.
My favorite Phantoka set
I remember getting it for my birthday back 08 i was so excited
Mutran has 27 total points of articulation (shoulders(2), elbows(2), hands(2), 2 in each wing(4), 2 on the top and 2 on the bottom claws on each hand(8), 1 in the middle claw on each hand(2), head(1), thighs(2), knees(2) and feet(2))
Mine looks the same as yours. I've seen some vican masks that have more lime
Hi
I like mutran just from that intro
Literally the only wave 1 2008 set I never got. I don't know why I remember Mutran having a more complex build. He and Vican are basically just recolor OC's with limited design variation.
same, not about having the sets :/ but about the illusion that mutran is bigger and more comples. great advertising lego
10:31 "squeal like a pig, bat-nerd!"-Vican
Vican looks like Vampire Butters from South Park
This is the meme review, Vican has 21 pieces, Mutran has 69, and the video has 420 likes!
Only 1 of those i understand and even then it makes no sense as a meme
Before I open the said it was the end of the month item so I decided to use one of my phantoka to make based on this official on before I open it
I really like this and this is honestly probably my favorite to be released in 2008
I just think that they both look pretty cool and the color scheme is awesome in my opinion
I wish he did this review before Christmas. My mom got me this set on Amazon. Still, it's a great deal if you want Makuta and Shadow Matoran.
youre the most consistent youtuber ever you say the same exact thing for each set you review and have for years
vican was like umm to mutran of mutran you know he's not alive
Wait... If 08 introduced the new, more fragile joints and lime a fragile colour joint... Doesn't that mean that Lime joints are ultra-breakable?
they are.
Soft Endy rip every lime 08 set
T10 Fox Fisher my lewa is a crack-man
Just buy two green visorak for good lime green parts for mutran
@@jester_420 Or Hali Marhi if you can manage to find one.

*Tridax pod does not open*
Everyone sleepy on a Monday morning
This is exclusive to Comsed in Bulgaria, 8953 is exclusive to Metro and 8954 is exclusive to Hippoland
I have to admit, I sort of laughed at the sounds LJ made when he was "swooning" them around.
I love this set
Also, the newer joints are more prone to breaking, but are the newer lime joints even more prone than the rest of the newer joints?
the type of color of plastic is weaker
This set was also sold in Canada, and it was Wal-Mart exclusive as well.
Also this is great as a parts pack, since all their pieces are used in other sets. And if you're wondering yes I did get this set. I recently just rebuilt it, however the wings on Vican broke off. :( They seem to do that a lot...
+Franus Kepa well Eljay said he wasn't sure about anywhere else so I was letting people know.
Yep, and he was extremely pricey here too...but I have no regrets.
Please tell me you have another Solek for the 2008 recap.
He was an awesome Easter gift in '08.
All of the were sold at Comsed from 01/09/2008 to 31/12/2008
I only subbed because of eljay. He is my favorite bionicle reviewer.
Seriously Solek is grinded? Where did you get a new one at the reviews?
Since when did the story not affect the sets?
I got this set from the Vancouver Walmart in 2008
For some reason, I honestly don't remember even seeing this set in ads at the time.
oh i had this set and it became one of my biggest regrets when i took him apart and never put him together again though i quite liked him for a time

eljay i was wondering if i should get the sets of 2002 or 2001 which do you prefer
want more rahi or actual villans? (not saying rahi aren't)
Muran trying to rivive the league of solik
I actually have some of their pieces I got in an assorted bag from Goodwill once.
Why these use 90° Matoran connection pins and the 8685-8690 use regular pins
The damaged solek gives me conniptions.
Solek died in episode of bionicle review is The Kardatoran
Vivian and his.. SHREDDER clawz..
I mean vican
Where are the toa hagah in the playlist?
I think I ordered him online in 2009.
you did quiet a number on that set
I wish he had his own mask tho :-b
Great video
Mutrans left handed weapon is called a life blade
0:04 Jesus Christ that laugh
Does vican ever get cured in the comics?
Mutran and Vican are what Chirox and Kirop look like if they had the Corona virus
2:33 And the Bionicle community world wide shuddered.
*****
Not what I was referring to.
Shit i remember that happening too my vahki
9:25 hahaha...on the other HAND
I remember seeing this in Walmart in Toronto when I was young a friend for it on his b day while I got pohatu
geting this real soon(yes, i know it is 2018 but i like them a lot)
I had a dream where i found these in my room but they had exposed brains and the smaller one could drive the larger one like a mech
you doing a game night again soon?
Mutran and Vican made peace with solek in the meme...
I would disagree with ElJay here; I do think that the story can affect the sets.
What's wrong with the lime joints again?
EggsOnToast Vlogs/Randomness easily broken
this set was also a european Toy's r us exclusive. i own it and im glad i do
hammerfallrex same here i never managed to get any of the special "titan" sets or "store exclusives" which made me love him even more
Please tell me Solek's gonna be getting a nice bath of petrol some time soon
9:22 puns lol
Can someone explain to me why they redesigned the ball joints?
to fuck with us while saving money.
+Arzaki Presumably Lego thought the re-designed joints were more stronger and brighter. But these things are brittle and very prone to cracking, epsecially with the 2009 fists/hands.
The joints only recently got stronger after hero factory created the 2.0 heroes and Savage Jungle mission heroes that the parts were re-designed and thicker like before 2008, and the new piece "3.0 joints" as i call them are less prone to breaking so far.
oh gosh you really did chainsaw solek!
ha-ha mutran has 69 pieces.
Nice
Ill never understand my the kardatoran limbs werent comprised of two pieces that snap together like the ratchet bricks
The pincers came with Mantax
Now I feel bad for Solek.
WHY U DO DIS
This was released half my life ago.... It doesn't actually feel that long...
my brother had this I always used vican
Rip solek
Poor Vican, probably one of the least fortunate characters in all of bionicle
The people that can't stand a little contrast are really starting to irk me
2:34 when its the end of the world
There is one on eBay going for $69.99
Spooky scary sceletons
And shivers down your spine!
I have and love this set ❤
I got it for Christmas in 2011 😀
2008?
Why would you do that to solek?
