Brickipedia
“Surge, a rookie recently constructed in the Assembly Tower, uses two lightning shooters, identical pieces with silver hilts and translucent yellow lightning bolt blades. He has yellow-green eyes, a yellow-green hero core, blue armor and silver limbs. Like Furno and Breez,... More but unlike the three Alpha Team members, Surge has two arm pieces. His body armour is the same shape as Furno's and Breez's. The back of the canister shows him battling Corroder.”

Eurobricks
“Overall, this figure is a great step forwards for a Bioncile replacement line. He is very nice visually, and his articulation and mass amount of new pieces make it worth any Bionicle fan to give these guys a try. Personally I would recommend picking up a Rookie team member... More as opposed to an Alpha team member for your first set, as these guys don't have the horrid weapon arms.”

“If you are a diehard collector and need to get all of the sets, I would at least caution you to wait until these sets start going on sale, as they will. For MOCists or more casual fans, I would say pass on this set.”
