“I found this set to be a rare treat, a gem the likes of which I have not seen in years. Whether you run out and buy it now or hold off until you can snatch it up on sale, Thornatus is an amazing buy whether you're into MOCing, collecting, or just having fun playing with the... More model itself.”

“Bionicle avoided the use of wheels up until 2006 with the Inika/Piraka playsets which were essentially regular LEGOs. The line of Glatorian vehicles features four out of five sets with the previously rare wheels. The huge wheel in the back is both purposeful and appealing,... More it provides a stunning piece that differentiates this set from others. The four wheels in the front fold out very well and seem to highlight the rocky, desert feel of the 2009 sets.”

“Although the official description states that it includes Midak Skyblasters, in the storyline, they are "force blasters", as the Bara Magnans would not have access to the technology that was created solely inside the Matoran Universe.”
