dagger spider is the best one. i built it once. never disassembled ever since then. easily shames the visorak. speaking of spiders the virgin visorak battle ram vs the chad system caravan at the end is a 10/10.
Actually the blade placement for Botar makes perfect sense, when he swigs the arm down (pawn outwards thumb up) the blade slashes down. Measure Kardas from tip of the tail and he wins. And I fortunately have the 10204 set. The price now is cosmic.

I love the scene-setting you did with Irnakk and Vezon and Kardas facing off against Zaktann and Toa Jaller, respectively. I want to see more of that in the future. :D
Gotta love those 2-Piraka Abominations. I'll be sure to sit that Zaktan/Reidak combiner on the throne it deserves, right atop my Piraka Outpost alt... Minor correction on the boxed-combiners rant, but Kardas's instructions weren't available on the website. I don't recall if Voporak's were, but I know for a fact that Kardas's weren't because I was super bummed out by that as a kid. Great overview as always, Eljay! I missed the beginning of this premiere, but luckily through the power of x2 speed playback I was able to catch up by the start of the Caravan Crawler. I'll be here for an actual premiere one of these days...
You forgot to mention there's a promotional image of Vezon standing on Kardas with the chain attached to Kardas' neck. This is impossible. There are no open pins or axles on the back or neck to attach anything. Canonically that's how Vezon rides him though.
bro I had no idea that makuta miserix had a youtube account. Guess that's why he went missing from my shelf the other day. In all seriousness, hats off to you for naming your youtube account after a bionicle character lol
While it's easy enough to use the extra pieces to attach him on, it is very difficult to balance him like the images show. It actually can balance with Vezon on its back if you stand him up normally.
My favorite model this year is definitely the Lava Hawk because I think the usage of the weapon pieces is perfect, though I also love Botar and Kardas.
5:09 Piraka combiner 3 is the true main character of bionicle. I think he is the best out of the Piraka combiners that aren't Irnakk and his bootleg versions of himself.
Probably a strange take, but I like all the Bionicle sets. I've never really had an issue any of them, I just always thought that they were well made LEGO sets that kids will have a lot of fun with. Along with great pieces, characters, and building experience.
My overall thoughts about the 2006 combos is that I quite liked the Matoran combination models. The Piraka combination models with two per each did look kind of cool in my opinion, but some could have been made better. I actually like Irnakk and a pro to that set is that since it is technically a combination model, we've got spare parts. As for the so-called Piraka Kaita, I do agree they're basically recolored Irnakk's, but they look decent for combination models. When I built my first Toa Inika, I was surprised that there were no instructions for combination models. I was looking forward to seeing what the Inika combination models would be like, but was met with a surprise with there being no combination models for the Toa Inika. It's great that Toa Jovan exists as a combination model, but he's a combination of Hewkii, Hahli, and Nuparu, and we have no combination models for Jaller, Kongo, or Matoro. That doesn't sounds right to me. I never got Vezon and Kardas as an original set, but I did buy extra pieces from Bricklink to build Kardas myself. So I have Fennrak and Kardas, but only have one Vezon. Getting the set would have given me more spare pieces, but oh well. I don't think I had thought it was worth it to purchase such a set at the time, but now, I kind of wish I had for the experience. But at least I have Kardas now.
Kardas is so cool to me. The illegal connection in the head is upsetting but the colors work amazingly and Kardas has more presence than any other bionicle.
I do appreciate Piraka combiner 1 because it gives a good example of a piston joint alternative for heavier builds. The Toa Metru arms don't really get in the way of posability and the longer thighs fit well with the shorter thighs. Sure pistons are better, but you don't always have access to a lot of them, so this is a decent alternative. I actually really like the double torso for Toa Jovan, as its just different enough to open up some creative ideas. Though those tubes really don't work well. The claws and chains being able to move allow for a really good conveyance of the magnetism theme. Big fan of the Caravan Crawler's head and the Voyatoran combos, both of which look very straightforward to build and I might give them a go for some of my own mock designs. Kardas is really cool aside from the illegal head connection and Irnnak gets its own segment because TUBES
I just can't help but stare at the miss-matched silver claws on the Lava Hawk. The reason the legs on the Caravan crawler want to pop out is not because of the weight, it is because there is not room for the balljoint. They require an additional anti-stud of free space next to them, where as here, the instructions tell you to smack them into a flat wall.
@@skeletoncreek6446 Poor or complete lack of quality control; As Eljay mentions, Kardas's head plate is placed using an illegal building technique as well and even the Visorak's Gate, an official set, uses one.
Theory for Botar’s inner blades: He drags criminals to The Pit, so he hugs onto them, and suplexes them into the sea, and therefore The Pit. His blades face in so they dig into criminals as he drags them down.
the dream is having both kardas and the three titans that comprise it on display at once, but getting one of these guys is a challenge, let alone all three twice.
Dude. Before you would do the 2007 video, how about combing 2008, 2009, and 2010 stuff into one video after 2007? There aren’t much stuff in those groups. Just saying an advice. Anyway, I think Kardas is still the tallest Bionicle figure there is. You just need to straighten up the legs. Anyway, he’s one of my favorite combiner models and sets in general. He’s impressive. :) You ever thought about combining him with his Vezon by using three extra pins from his set to attach Vezon’s feet and chain to Kardas’s back and head? That’s how I did it, as I have that set. I wish there are more Titan combiner sets like him. I mean, there are no such combiner sets in 2007-2009. It’s very sad. :(
Aha, sweet! Really glad to see this one... Though I'm sad that my favourite year won't have seen more than three actual combos. Well done for trooping through that cage-beast. Cool concept, but I could hear those pieces a-screamin'.
Hey Eljay! I think your reviews have gotten a lot better. I felt like the older reviews were too void of your individual thoughts and leaned too much towards sharing what 'the community' thought. I find your opinions on the models interesting. Keep it up :)
Kardas was always top heavy for me. I had to lock the legs in one pose so he wouldn't fall over. And that is with me modifying it so the torso is a bit lighter.
Wow. This is a hurdle. And thank you for keeping up with it and accomplishing every combo model this year. Good height comparisons but it would have also been nice to have a side by side comparison as well, not just head on. Still got the idea with those models.
Kardas is the largest Bionicle set. I think that if you are including wings, you should include the tail too. If you don't count wings and tail it's still the largest.
tbh my older Cousin has Botar. he also had some Knights Kingdom sets (from 2005) and he decided to use the Leg Armor from his Danju to fix the issues with the open Pins on the shin
I can't believe you didn't mention how Botor's head looks similar to Ultimate Dume. I think I saw some online posts of people wondering if Botor was Makuta because of that. So why not here?
Even though I had nearly every constraction set from this year except for four of them, the only combos I made were the Voyatoran ones. I never had Irnakk, even though I had all of the Piraka and Inika. I didn't have Axonn so I couldn't make Botar or Kardas, and don't remember seeing that combo "set" in stores anywhere. I had completely forgotten about the Caravan Crawler, though I had both of the sets that comprise it. It's somewhat interesting that Umbra didn't have an alternate or combination model.
I remember struggling to find Kardas and so I took apart all my bionicles to make an alternative with the Skirmax head.... I wish I knew I could have bought him cheaper online at the time than waiting till now...
Side note: Piraka Combiner 2 _would_ be canon if made with Vezok and Reidak, as the two were fused by the Staff of Fusion into a "lumbering, skull-faced giant" when facing off against Vezon in _BIONICLE Legends #5: Inferno._
I always wanted To do the VEZON & KARDAS Combo.... i have all 3 sets (somewhere), but i have Never had Them build at the same time, and when i took Them apart, the Pieces Got spread out (before i learned about the Combo model)
I like to imagine that the first thing that Eljay did when preparing for all of these review videos(from 2001-2009) was take the clips of him snapping his fingers in front of the various sets that were built into the combo models. Must’ve been tedious as all heck, haha!
Do note: all you need to do to keep the huge amount of stress from the head assembly, you can just turn the 3/4 pins around. There is literally no downsides, so not sure why the designers didn't do that.
Eljay's suffering when building the system combiner... it's hilarious Additionally, Kardas being the largest set released is based on piece count, not height. If the wings of both Ultimate Dume and Kardas are disregarded, instead measuring up to the top of the head, then Kardas wins. Additionally, laying them down and measuring from Kardas' tail, Kardas wins again. Ultimate Dume's like a thin piece of cardboard in comparison to Kardas' girth. So really, "bigger" is up to the viewer's discretion, though Kardas wins in more instances than Ultimate Dume does.
I was just wondering, are there any Bionicle combo model "sets" that actually include all of the pieces (and i really do mean ALL OF THE PIECES) from all of the sets that it's a combination model of? If the answer is yes, could you (by 'you' i mean anyone who sees and reads this comment) please tell me the name and set number of that Bionicle combo model "set"/those Bionicle combo model "sets"?
Why does LEGO Makes the sepparate sets that can combine into one Combo Model, while LEGO makes a set of Combo Model, doesn't LEGO realizes that someone buys a combo model set, and then he's making a Three set models?
Unless there were no instructions, I recall in the story of Bionicle that Vezonn has fused Vezok and Reidak into a being to destroy the Piraka. Was a combo set ever made for that?
I like to think the piraka combos 1,2,3 are spear of fusion combos like “what if they were struck by a blast and fused”. I think redak and vezok (the blue and black piraka) were fused in the comic but you can’t make the fused creature out of the 2 sets so kinda of a missed opportunity to make one of the combos cannon
I always imagined that the Raidak & Vezok form in the books was intended as Piraka Combo 3 but maybe they wrote the wrong names in. Also if I remember correctly Avak and Hakahn (brown and red piraka) fought a weird magma monster when they were pretending to be toa, which Piraka Combo 2 could easily stand in for
For some reason Irnak was priced at $3 at my Walmart. I don’t think it was clearance, just priced wrong maybe. My mom picked up 3 of it I think, one for me, one for my cousin, and one that I sold lol

Kardas also has the edge over Ultimate Dume in terms of height, weight and bulk.

@@antimatterstudios8395 exactly. Kardas' head reaches higher on top of that.

Kardas is the largest Bionicle set. I think that if you are including wings, you should include the tail too. If you don't count wings and tail it's still the largest.

So really, "bigger" is up to the viewer's discretion, though Kardas wins in more instances than Ultimate Dume does.

I think they are horns like on the Greek minator.
I was just wondering, are there any Bionicle combo model "sets" that actually include all of the pieces (and i really do mean ALL OF THE PIECES) from all of the sets that it's a combination model of?
If the answer is yes, could you (by 'you' i mean anyone who sees and reads this comment) please tell me the name and set number of that Bionicle combo model "set"/those Bionicle combo model "sets"?
Why does LEGO Makes the sepparate sets that can combine into one Combo Model, while LEGO makes a set of Combo Model, doesn't LEGO realizes that someone buys a combo model set, and then he's making a Three set models?
I miss the recap reviews. Can eljay make the “redone reviews” watching reruns makes me miss em even more
Your logo make it looks like Eljoy's Remixed Review
i’m pretty sure botar is meant to have a bat-like head. that’s how i’ve always seen it, and it explains the ears and teeth well
Kardas stole his wings. What a jerk.
I think botar's ear things look like megatron's battlemask from transformers: the last knight.
My names for the Piraka Combiners
Zakdak
Hakvak
VeThok
Unless there were no instructions, I recall in the story of Bionicle that Vezonn has fused Vezok and Reidak into a being to destroy the Piraka. Was a combo set ever made for that?
Kardas was only 50$!? Man I wish I could go back
I like to think the piraka combos 1,2,3 are spear of fusion combos like “what if they were struck by a blast and fused”. I think redak and vezok (the blue and black piraka) were fused in the comic but you can’t make the fused creature out of the 2 sets so kinda of a missed opportunity to make one of the combos cannon
I always imagined that the Raidak & Vezok form in the books was intended as Piraka Combo 3 but maybe they wrote the wrong names in.
Also if I remember correctly Avak and Hakahn (brown and red piraka) fought a weird magma monster when they were pretending to be toa, which Piraka Combo 2 could easily stand in for
I have 4 voyatoran I got from a yard sale, but with the ones I have I can't build any of the combo models because I'm missing one from each
I measure by head high, measuring wing blade height is like if we measured people with their arms up at the peak of their third finger
Imagine a combo of every combo from 2001 to 2007
Never thought of it before but Botar looks more like one of the demons from Doom
I hope the designer who made Kardas got a raise. It's not perfect but it's badass.
I still don't own Kardas but it's always been my dream Bionicle set.. it's sooo fukin cool.
I think Botar's Weapon is supposed to be a throwing Weapon
I made names for the Piraka Combos
1: Zeidak
2: Havak
3: Thezok
K1: Havaktan
K2: Reithokon
For some reason Irnak was priced at $3 at my Walmart. I don’t think it was clearance, just priced wrong maybe. My mom picked up 3 of it I think, one for me, one for my cousin, and one that I sold lol
i assume by largest they mean a mix of size and mass and please correct me but dume seems to be lighter ( at least visualy) than kardaz
I'll probably build my own version of Kardas that doesn't have the issue with the head, and that has a more proper Vezon.
