LEGO® Bionicle 8924 Maxilos & Spinax | Review

Before the destruction of The Pit, Maxilos robots were its designated guardians. These robots featured an intense amount of firepower that kept the worst of the worst in line. Upon its destruction, all but one of the Maxilos robots fled. The one left behind was gifted the energetic hound Spinax by Hydraxon, and ended up making pretty good use of the fierce attacker. In this video review we give you all the information you need to know before purchasing this set for yourself!

This is Maxilos. Being completely mechanical, he is the perfect guard, for he cannot be bribed or deceived. His reflexes are faster than any living being.

[TymaDem]

4:57 lore wise this makes sense. After all, Makuta Teridax possesses Maxilos’ body

[GoatPunishment]

Maxilos is that colour, because Makuta does possess him! You can see the vibes especially in the 'Mahri Nui' commercial. IMO this is the best bionicle set we ever got, just a dope looking 'sentinel' kinda character.

I think his weapon is also sorely underrated. It has to be one of the coolest weapons a titan/ character has ever had, very slick. Plus, he's got claws! He was robbed of a 9.3 imo.

6:47 is the sort of quality content that I subscribed for.

I've been WAITING for you to witness the raw kick-ass build that is Maxilos and Spinax. Such a great set.

[Vahki]

Makuta is possessing this dude's body, so it fits perfectly that the colour scheme is Makuta.

[GriffintheBased]

>He reminds me of makuta

Well he should man, that is him

[chuckles in secret Teridax]

The articulated torso on this set was a huge inspiration for me. I once did a pair of Transformers builds, first of a 1'+ Optimus Prime, and then a 2' tall Megatron -- they were fully articulated, including waist and shoulder articulation, and in Megatron's case even jaw, wrist, and two-point knee articulation. Still one of my proudest builds, and I don't think I would have had the engineering ideas in my head if not for this killer set coming out a couple years prior.

[lego_bionicle_collection]

I always watch your videos before buying new sets...now I am waiting for my Maxillos and Spinax.

[Diamond]

Simple and best set. There’s no other like this one.

[thelurker]

I remember when I was in elementary school my baby sitter got me this set and then my parents got me a second one for Christmas then my grandmother got me a third for my birthday 😂 I kept the other two for extra parts, but in general I LOVED this titan set for sure

[minerman]

Here I was, only blaming the rubberized joints for my difficulty standing him up, when the skinny feet were helping quite a bit. I love this set, my favorite titan set (although I don't have any of the 2006 ones), it just works so well. Also the Makuta color scheme kinda makes sense because this robot is actually Makuta himself. Also bending the knees on Spinax inward is a very cool technique, gonna have mine that way

[Captain_Vitorio_Muscovy]

I just completed the Toa Mahri team (Hewkii was the last set I needed) so I now plan on start collecting the Titans from 2007.

This is a set I really wanted to get years ago but was not able to (didn't have a job and my parents considered it too expensive to allow me to use the money I saved (they kept it so I'd not spend it without permission), also, my youger brother and cousin damaged my collection because I forgot to lock my room and my parents blamed me for everything because they "didn't know what they were doing" and stopped buying sets as rewards for helping around the house, be it cleaning, washing dishes, hanging clothes and so on.).

I may be able to buy it next month or a bit latter, just need some budget first.

Edit:
I rebuilt my collection, it took me years and now I'm expanding it slowly.

My Bionicle Collection was my only "friend" when I was younger (silly, I know), it helped me stay strong when I was bullied (I had a pocket knife held against my neck once and was forces to swallow piece of chalk, that school was hell on earth).

[adriangentle]

As a kid it used to bum me out that they decided to use le-bohrak kal shields on Maxillos as I felt it leaves gaps that other bohrok shields wouldn’t

[NaveSutlef]

Not a huge fan of 2007, but this set is awesome! Maxilos looks great and I always love more rahi. Might have to pick this up.

[serina]

The colours similarities makes sense, it's because Teridax does poses this figure. The price is probably because that this is the last set in g1 that represents Teridax

[adamzazarinno]

I just recently bought both this set and the Hydraxon set and I gotta say, I wasn't too impressed with the leg construction. The axle pumps are great, and this could be because the pieces are old but the socket-axle pieces that attach to ball joints were loose. Spinax I agree could have been its own set from how good it is, but these two sets were kinda turnoffs for having any kind of titan sets at all.

Also: "his color scheme makes me think of the '03 makuta set." I wonder XD
On that note, I don't know if this is true or not, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Hau similarity is a callback to the Hau that Makuta wore back in the 2001 arc as a bit of back-shadowing to anyone who actually reads about this particular Maxilos.

[SierraBlades]

I too counted the chain pieces when i got this set way back when and i was disappointed but yeah this set otherwise is one of my favorites that i got as a kid.

[jamesmcrae]

I just realized Maxilos's mask piece (which I know is just the Maxilos robots' faceplates) loooks more like an underwater adapted Hau and an adaptive version of the Hau Nuva the the actual adaptive Hau Nuva from the Mistika Tahu set from 2008 which was released just a year later which is highly amusing, frustrating and confusing all at once to me.

[josephrayner]

In the bionicle lore Maxilos was makuta teridax in disgusie, as teridax did not want to reveal his true identity to the birraki as they were old friends, but it was an acquaintance he wished not to renew for a good reason. 80, 000 years ago the birraki/the league of six kingdoms decided to revolt against the great spirit mata nui, and teridax was tasked to lead the brother hood of makuta under orders from makuta miserix to hunt down and execute the birraki for revolting against the great spirit.
