Fire Slizer/Torch Faceplate render
Tumblr media
In my quest to remake all the Slizer/Throbot visors, I've finally finished another one, Torch!
I spent a long time on the modelling for this one, the part around the left eyeball gave me a lot of trouble, but once I got it okay the painting went super fast, like 2 days.
Tumblr media
Took a bit to get the emissives dialed in.
Tumblr media
Unlike the first two I did (Blaster is just those two stuck together so it doesn't count) Torch's faceplate is very three dimensional, so it looks quite cool from the sides. The other two are very flat.
Really pleased with how it came out. It looks really cool in the dark.
Made a printed version too.

Next is Scuba, which is the last of the wave 1 Slizer faces, the wave 1.5/2 ones have a much more simplistic style so I don't think they'll be super hard, but I also didn't think I'd spend weeks staring at the edge of an eye for this one so who knows.
I've also redone the other 3 renders a bit, all 4 can be found on my Flickr.

@wjbs-bonkle-au's April MOC Challenge Entry #1: Slider Slizer! 🏂⛓️🦾
I liked the idea of having 3 emojis to work with as prompts for a MOC, and I intend to do a lineup of Slizers/Throwbots based off the list Wren came up with. Can't promise I'll do it every day, or even do something beyond this one, but it felt good!

I have a habit of assuming anything bionicle related on my dash is my brother
"Wait, thats not my brother! There's no religious guilt and heresy!"
I'm not sure if you sent this to the right person but I was not a Bionicle kid, Bionicle was something I had a passing awareness of in the early to mid 2000s.....In fact I'm so old that I actually remember having "Slizers" which were a clear precursor to Bionicle.
I did have the Mask if Light movie on DVD but it always felt like a pilot episode for a series that never happened
However if you want heresy I'm sure I can provide.

Slizers vs Throwbots: Regional differences
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Its well known that the Slizer line was changed quite a bit for its release in North America. The line was renamed Throwbots, the individual set names were all changed (Honestly this seems to be an okay change, as apart from Judge I quite like the new names, and this doesn't seem to be an uncommon opinion), and the setting was changed.
One very subtle change that I've had a hard time tracking down was the actual art for the sets. I managed to acquire copies of the instruction booklets for every set, Slizer and Throwbots, and have scanned them all, and they can be found HERE.
What follows is comparison between the Slizer and Throwbots instruction booklets.
8500-Fire Slizer/Torch
Tumblr media
The Slizer version features a humanoid fire being, but the Throwbots version removes the face entirely, though this being can still be found on the 6 pip disc art. In fact its the same illustration, just mirrored.
Tumblr media
8501-Ice Slizer/Ski
Tumblr media
The Slizer version features an ice outcropping with an evil looking face. The Throwbot version erases the face.
Though this creature doesn't appear in the discs, a similar concept of an avalanche with a face does, on the 6 pip disc.
Tumblr media
8502-City Slizer/Turbo
Tumblr media
This is the first one to not have any changes that I can see.
Every piece of Slizer art features the main set, and in the background one of the enemies the Slizer would face in its region. For City Slizer it seems to the be city itself, this large building featuring a monstrous face. For whatever reason this face was deemed not necessary to remove, perhaps because it was positioned mostly behind the logo.
The instructions use the cover background and the face can be seen more clearly there. Notably Flare Slizer uses the same background for its instruction book.
Tumblr media
Turbo's 6 pip disc doesn't feature a malevolent building, but instead a truck intent on running them over.
Tumblr media
8503-Sub Slizer/Scuba
Tumblr media
Again, this one was not altered, perhaps it was found that removing the evil eyes off the giant jellyfish was counterproductive. A modified version of this art (or is the cover version the modified version? Hard to know what came first) can be found on the 6 pip disc.
Tumblr media
This same creature also appears in the small comic on the poster I believe was included in some Slizer sets. Its delightful.
Tumblr media
8504-Judge Slizer/Jet
Tumblr media
Again, no change. Unlike the other's Judge doesn't feature this, or any creature on its 6 pip disc. This star monster is featured in the comic though, seeming to be the target for the disc launching game, of which Judge is the...judge of.
Tumblr media
8505-Jungle Slizer/Amazon
Tumblr media
Finally, there are more differences. The Slizer version features Jungle Slizer slicing this evil tree, complete with mouth, eyes, and hands, in half. The Throwbot version simply removes the eye light, the facial features are still there. The 6 pip disc features them fighting a different type of plant, something more modelled off a Venus Fly Trap. The 5 pip disc though does feature them chopping a seemingly not evil tree in half.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
8506-Rock Slizer/Granite
Tumblr media
This is one of the more subtle ones, way in the background there's a rock formation that resembles a skull. In the Slizer version it features slightly glowing eyes, the eye glow is removed in the Throwbots version. The 6 pip disc art features Rock Slizer facing off against a similar stone face with glowing eyes.
Tumblr media
8507-Energy Slizer/Electro
Tumblr media
Finally we come to Energy. This one I think is one of the more odd ones, as the Slizer version features this evil cloud zapping Energy with arms made of lightning. The Throwbot version removes the red eyes, but everything else remains the same, the mouth, the lightning arms, the zapped Electro. This exact art appears on the 6 pip disc.
Tumblr media
To my knowledge there was only one set of discs, so despite the changes made to the packaging the Throwbots's discs featured all these creatures that the modified box art didn't want to show, its very odd.
And this is where the version differences end, for the instructions at least. After this, with the release of 8520, though they still changed the name, Millennium Slizer vs Millennia, they stayed with one instruction book for both, the back of the booklet even featuring both line's logos, and both names for each set (though you can see they are using the Slizer box arts).
Tumblr media
Then by wave two proper there was no more name divergence, and the logos and names were left off the instructions entirely.
Tumblr media
One has to wonder if the successor series, Roboriders, featuring the names of the characters printed right on their face pieces was an attempt to stop this whole naming issue coming up again.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I just wanted to have all this data in one place, I've spent a lot of time searching for the different versions and its quite hard to find good images, even leog's own site isn't consistent, featuring okay versions of all the Slizer's instructions, then this awful uncropped vertical scan of Electro.
Tumblr media
So now everything is at least in one place and in consistent quality.
