I think the Bohrok faceplate is there to be an effective visual indicator that this was cobbled together from the remains of Bohrok. I mean, what else is there to tell us that aside from the teeth? Personally, this is one of my favorites from G1, precisely BECAUSE it's so weird.

I understand why it's there from a set design perspective, but I struggle to see the practicality of its presence from an in-story point of view. I know a lot of people really dig the more obscure designs. Oddity = Interesting. While I'm not necessarily in that group, I can see where they're coming from.

100% correct my friend. I got 2 months ago, a sealed Exo -Toa, and was a quite a challenge, and I always enjoy a Bionicle Technic style challenge building, it was a wondefull experience, and I never have that feelling for many years. It took 2 afternoons but i build the set, and was very unique.Its more complex than the Tarakava, although the Exo Toa armour haves 360 pieces, and the two tarakava haves about 400 pieces.More harder is with the Bahrag, the Bohrok Queens.I hope that you make also reviews of the Exo Toa and the Bohrok Queens.

I personally like the cobbled-together nature of the Boxor. I think it's rather endearing. As was mentioned before, that's how Nuparu created it. After all, he had limited resources: the scattered remains of his village, and a single, Krana-less Bohrok. What else was he supposed to use? Nothing, because there was nothing else he could use! The way it comes off as a toy really shows the rushed, hastily-designed manner in which Nuparu initially designed the thing. He, Onepu and Taipu had to escape the cave somehow, you know! Plus, if you think about it, when the Boxor became a mass-produced product, it could be inferred that the original design was refined and upgraded into a new, more advanced, and less silly-looking Boxor 2.0, possibly like the Boxor Walker concept that is included in the Boxor's instructions. The only problem there is that that version of the Boxor is unfortunately not canon to the Bionicle storyline. But that's what headcanons are for!

I’m convinced that the set is exactly how it is supposed to be, so that when a child sees a boxor at their friends house or finding build instructions on the “home computer” maybe even seeing it in the minidiscs that came with the rakshi back in 2002, they are than inspired to make their own improvised version by using bohrok of their color choice and pulling from other builds. Which is what the villagers did which was the whole point because at the point of release majority of people who had bionicles, had at least one tohunga/matoran

I personally enjoy the set's visual quality. It really looks like it was created from Bohroks and I dig the heavy technic-vibe of the build. I assume you dislike the Takua and Pewku titan from '03 as well, since that build is also focused entirely around its play feature at the expense of having a rather gappy look.
@RolloutReviews9 жыл бұрын
I never got Takua and Pewku, actually. But you're right. Just by the looks of it, I'm sure my opinions on it would be similar to the Boxor.

I have Takua and Pewku and it's one of my favourite sets. It also has an amazing function, but it's not a combat one. It's legs move as you push it along. This is way cooler than it sounds. It looks strange in pictures but it looks fine when you see it in person, though it does have lots of gaps. You also get Takua in the set :D

Having the Bohrok head-plate as a visor, rather than a random aesthetic feature, is a pretty smart idea. It would make the pilot at least somewhat protected. Otherwise the pilot is completely bare and susceptible to basically any kind of danger, even just Bohrok shrapnel ricocheting into the pilot's eyes. In fact, the alternative build shown off in the instruction manual has the head-plate facing down as a visor. Also, the Matoran's hands are closer to the control sticks, making it look like s/he's actually controlling it. AND the Boxor's arms aren't sticking out the back... I've just had a revelation - the alternative build is better than the normal build! I must get RolloutReviews opinions on this.
