Another discussion topic. This time on... CombinersCombiners have a long history within the Bionicle series, going all the way back to the Toa Kaita. I for one have chosen to continue this proud tradition... With mixed results. One reason I like combiners is that they present a challenge: a strictly limited parts pool. Designing a combiner is an exercise in creative building and parts management. This is especially the case for two-canister combiners, where many of the larger parts offer limited applications, and the connector supply may be lacking. But sometimes something just clicks. I recall there was a discussion some years ago about a Lhikan/Kikanalo fusion in the style of the old rahi alt-models, which were treated as honorary combiners since the standard model was actually two distinct units, but I digress. Taking on the task myself, I had a stroke of inspiration for a helmet add-on to the toa skull and was persistent in using it. In the end, I don't think that was the right direction to take, as the finished model was rather lackluster, and I've always meant to try a new approach, but... Anyway, what about you?

Voporak and Kardas were the only worthwhile combiners

Kardas was awesome, but there have been plenty of other combiners that I've loved, like the Krahka combiner, Bohrok-Kal combiners, and of course the original Toa Kaita combiners.
