BIONICLE TO LIFE! When six Toa arrive on a mysterious island to battle a great evil, an epic story begins. The launch of BIONICLE is one of the biggest LEGO ® stories of the year, and this amazing tale comes
with some of the most exciting sets ever. We caught up with Senior Design Manager Cerim Manovi to ask him how these models came to be.
Q. How does a set concept begin? Does it spring from the story, or does the story come from the sets? Mostly it starts from both ends. We start with an initial idea or what we call a Brief. Then we investigate both directions. First of all, we have to know who the characters are (the Toa, the Protectors and the villains) and what kind of physical play pattern we want to create. We also need to know how many sets we are going to make. Then we try to map out the story line and see how that fits together.
Q. Once you have an idea, do you start building right away? Or is there preliminary work that has to be done? After many hours of brainstorming, concept work, and story writing, our sketch work begins. That includes paper sketching, digital painting, �d work and of course building the sets. It is a funny but also complex development process and sets, story and play have to work together.
10
Q. What are some of the challenges you face in building an action figure? The challenge is how we can tell a story with one or two characters in a set. The tricky part is not the character itself because there are a thousand ways of making a cool character. The challenge is the story in the set. But how we master that remains a secret.
Q. Do you have a favorite January ���� BIONICLE set? Of course we love all our sets because they have a lot to offer. From the Protectors to the Toa to the villains, we think they are really cool sets with a lot of awesome features and functions like the masks of power, the dual weapons, the battle arms, the
mask pop-off function, the skull spiders and many more. But, if I have to be honest, Kopaka the master of ice and the Protector of Jungle are pretty awesome sets. Being a LEGO® BIONICLE ® designer is a really awesome job. It has lots of fun and challenges that push our creativity beyond the universe, in order to provide you with the best sets.

PULL BACK TO
SPEED UP! LEGO® Technic now has all-new functions that increase everything from speed to manuverability! To get the latest on the pull-back motors, we asked Niels Henrik Horsted, a Technic whiz, to clue us in! What are the advantages of pull-back motors over other types of motors? Including a power source in our models gives you the ability to create great action play. You can do cool drag races or awesome stunts like jumping over books! The pull-back motor is a great solution as the energy you put into it pulling it back is relative to the energy released or the speed you get when you release it, enabling you to control if the vehicle is fast or slow. The power you get from pulling the vehicle back and charging the motor is also released with a high torque so your vehicle has super fast acceleration, great for reaching top speeds across your bedroom floor!
Are there any special ways models need to be designed if a pull-back motor is going to be part of them? Pull-back motors create some awesome performance in our models, and you need to be sure you build a super strong model to handle those forces. You also need to be sure it can handle the unexpected, like running into the kitchen door when your mom opens 2 it to call you in for dinner. Be sure
2
to build your model with some strong bumpers and a stable place to hold it with your hand.
Prototype of the LEGO® Technic Record Breaker
There are combination models that have two pull-back motors. Would it be possible to build a model that had three or more? Yes! We have tried models with � and even more, and the performance is amazing! You have to build a really strong model and it must have good bumpers as it can reach very high speeds. You also have to be sure you have plenty of space with no obstacles
in the way. We think � motor is just right, though, as the vehicle is light and fast but easy to pull-back too. Have fun finding your best combination of motors.
What are some of the steps involved in designing models like these? How long does it take from concept to finished model? Here at LEGO ® Technic, we love making these models, and sometimes the designers make them for fun during the development of other models, so we always have lots to choose from when it comes time to develop the new ones. One designer takes approximately � weeks to transform a design into a finished model. During this time, they will ensure the model gets tested, work with graphic designers to produce the cool stickers, and develop the model with building instructions to be sure it ends up as a great play model with a fun building experience.
