Jatta Pake Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 ...A swarm of Ziks and using them not as one singular character but a hivemind just redeemed this figure for me. Hell yes! I might have to make an offer to the Rubber dudes to buy up their unwanted Ziks. An army of Zik would be cool. Zik only says one word, "Zik". It's the rate, tone, and pronunciation that gives their language meaning, though they tend to communicate with each other via hive think. "zik zik ZIK zikzikzikzik" is zik for "Die Ram Head!"

TM2 Dinobot Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Yeah, Zik is now redeemed. He is like the Klliks from star Wars. All hive mind-y and and creepy. I'll make some taller, some shorter, add powerhouse chest to some. Zik is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 'Zic' is too close to the word Cicada (pronounced Zicahda)to be coincidence.....world's noisiest insect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mystery Man Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I hadn't made the cicada connection, but that just makes me dig him even more! Here's hoping some of these make it back from the convention so I can score one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 (pronounced Zicahda) Wait, what? It's pronounced "Si-kay-da" where I'm from. You say with with a Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

groundhog7s Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I once drove through a swarm of cicadas and it was wicked cool. Now that just makes me want to troop builds Ziks and drive through a swarm of them to see if it's as much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 6, 2012 Author Share Posted June 6, 2012 Sorry Lobsterman I never think of guys Lets all agree on the word 'bug' ....now I pronounce that.. bug ! I once drove through a swarm of cicadas and it was wicked cool. Now that just makes me want to troop builds Ziks and drive through a swarm of them to see if it's as much fun.

b00sted Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 so I mentioned this over on LRG but now it is really sinking in.. Zach what would be the chances as I know you mentioned of a "maybe" a promo fig handout as well translucent green zik? I know I would piddle myself with excitement it get my hands on it! Just shooting ideas out there as if you have not noticed I have become a bit Battle Beast obsessive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcow Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 How did a translucent green zik even come into question, did Zach mention it? I hope there is a giveaway figure. Now I have a compelete BB collection so far so I get them as they come instead of constantly catching up on Gators and chasing them on ebay.

b00sted Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Zach did not mention it, the mind of b00sted thought of it now is pestering Zach for it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Mentioned in the interview, most likely no SDCC promo/give away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcow Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Mentioned in the interview, most likely no SDCC promo/give away Oh well. Before the line launches we would have gotten 4 gators, 4 Vorins and Zik. I'm pretty happy with 9 minimates before they even launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Geohound Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Can I just say, Thank the maker there's no giveaway. Those send me into terrible bouts or Ragefear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttheadsmate Posted June 9, 2012 Author Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) I'm betting that there will be a give-away .....I'm not saying that I'm sure because that would be foolish ,I might be old & lonely but not foolish. It might not be something we haven't heard of but if you read what has been said by whom & when they said it .....you might put 2 & 2 together like I have. On the other hand, Zach could dismiss my conjecture immediately &......I'll look a fool :biggrin: Edited June 9, 2012 by buttheadsmate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcow Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 Ebay, here i come... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Geohound Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 If there's a giveaway that's fine with me. Honestly as long as it's not a translucent purple Merk, I doubt much that I'll care. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatcow Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 If there's a giveaway that's fine with me. Honestly as long as it's not a translucent purple Merk, I doubt much that I'll care. It can't ( I think ) be anything from Series 1 because they said that that the molds aren't ready, so I'm guessing if there is one it will be Vorin, Zik or I daresay...another gator.

fatcow Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Is this giveaway going to be of an existing figure or something new? I love the Battle Beasts to be honest...even Zik who I disliked greatly at first has grown on me. Thanks Zach and DST, I hope this line does amazingly.

b00sted Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 awsome and shitty all at same time! I thought I could get out of having to pay my guy a ass ton of money to pick up my SDCC stuff by just getting it through luke but if there is a give away... arggg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
