8974-1: Tarduk

Treasure hunter of the wastelands!

Tarduk knows life is hard for his jungle tribe, but he sees that as just one more challenge to overcome. He uses his powerful claws and sharp spikes to defend himself as he searches the sands for ancient artifacts and lost treasures. Fully articulated limbs allow you to pose your jungle element Agori Bionicle for work, battle or display! Send him into battle with his allied Glatorian #8980 Gresh! Measures over 4" (10cm) tall!

Tarduk reminds me of tardy but he didn't become my favorite Agori the late! He never really appealed to me but he was $2 off so why not! Of course a simple build didn't even need to look at the instructions. What surprised me the most was how long and huge his helmet is it's bigger then any 2009 set i have. Here are the pros and cons and exclusive pieces.

exclusive pieces

helmet

pros

huge mask
awesome claws
monkey-like build
colors

cons

kinda hard to pose

Cool green dude!

I got this bionicle during vacation at the LEGO store in Florida. I got this one and Metus at the same time. This is a great addition to any bionicle collection and was a breeze to put together. Two thumbs up!

Why Hello there my little green friend.

Posted by DroidGeneral in United States on 08 July 2009

I got Tarduk from Lego Shop@Home the other week and now I'm doing a review of him so let me get to the pros and cons.

Pros
Helmet is cool for MOCing
Cool colors

Cons
Price and low piece count.

Either way the pros and the cons cancel each other out so this set scores a 3/5.

Tarduk, better than average

Posted by toaofshadow in United States on 22 May 2009

When i first saw Tarduk' s picture on that box at TRU, i had doubts about this set, because the picture on the front, believe me, has him in the WORST POSE EVER O_0 Howeve, when you open him, you find that he has a nice color combo. What I don't like, though, are his overly long arms and short legs. His spikes also get in the way of movement. Hovever, I like the dark green and the lime green Onua claws. My biggest problem, though, is his overly long spikes on his mask.

PROS:
-----------------------------
Nice, dark green color
Not bad mask, er-helmet
Lime green onua claws

CONS:
-----------------------------
Helmet instead of mask
Short legs
head spikes

Overall, Tarduk is not bad, not as good as Berix. I recommend him if you plan to collect them all (like me). But if you can only get one or two agori, then choose something else. I hope you find this useful.
