Set Information
The Protector of Earth was revealed at New York Comic Con 2014 during the BIONICLE panel, and officially released on the first day of 2015 in the United States and some European countries. The set consists of 66 pieces,[note 1] including a Protector mask and a Skull Spider.
The weapons of the Protector can be added onto 70789 Onua – Master of Earth to create a "powered-up" Onua. Both of these sets were included in collection 5004466 Protector of Earth – Power Up, to create the aforementioned model. A second combination model using the same sets was featured in the iOS version of BIONICLE: Mask of Creation. However, instructions were never released.
Features
The Protector's Star Drill can be made to spin by rotating a gear attached to it.
By turning a gear on the set's back, the Elemental Blaster that is built into the Protector's chest will launch round LEGO 1x1 studs. The blaster is able to hold six studs, though twelve are included in the set.
By pushing down the eyestalk on the back of the set's head, its mask will fly off.
Collectibles
A co-injected black and transparent purple Protector mask and a light lime green Skull Spider mask are included in the set.
