Quick? Not with those stubby legs!
oh my lord, Its the QUICK Bad guy green! Everyone run!
But seriously these mini bionicle promos were weird and also why is quick written all in caps?
I love these super creative character names.
That’s going straight to the want list.
Truly a masterpiece
@Lego_mini_fan:
It’s _green_? I read that as queen. Well, that makes so much more...different...lack of sense.
Sorry guys no lore for this one. The bad guys and good guys never appeared in the story, a shame given how obviously overpowered 6934 would've been.
Makuta Teridax's ultimate plan to overthrow the great spirit Mata Nui actually came from this guy, shame he was never credited.
can't believe they still used rhotuka spinners in 2006.
Completely unironically, the yellow version is actually pretty cool and looks way better.
Where's the green? Maybe two parts? Looks more white, to me.

Except for 7216 Gold Good Guy, who was retconned into being Turaga Lhikan.
So, this is a 'green' bad guy just because his 'shorts' are green and everything else is some shade of gray?
Ah the good old days when the Technic long pins were black!...(sigh)
Well he's certainly not a slow bad guy, that's for sure. i'm glad we cleared that up.
This is one Nestle NesQUICK (hence the name) promo set I have never seen before. Part of me now wishes I had gone through my entire life without seeing it. Even the sight of a white Hordika foot is a mirage; it's likely just the standard silver color. What a waste.
That is not green.

Given the quality of the single image available here, it's almost like you still haven't seen it!

Who said they aren't canon? In headcanon, those guys were defective matron from the realm of Kharazani.
Hmmm...could they (TLG) mean "Green" as in "New" or "Inexperienced"? Sorta a character that should get its 'parts' handed to it by the heroic Bionicles...

That’s not why it’s called “QUICK”. Quick is a Belgian fast food chain that the four QUICK guys were given out at. You can see the company’s logo in the bottom right corner of the bag.

Glad you said it, was just going to point that out which is why it's in all caps (and honestly, no idea how one gets from QUICK to Nesquik) /..
Quick, to the Badguymobile!
…is his torso a foot?

I reckon it’s a couple of centimetres.
Apparently this design was so good they had no choice but to make multiple colour variants of it.
Your mileage my vary I guess XD
Hey, at least it's real LEGO unlike the stuff for later Bionicle kid's meal toys (which were limited-articulation light-up action figures) and The Lego Movie that followed.
And, unlike the McD's versions a few years earlier, these have ripcord rotors.
Not simply "Quick Green Bad Guy", but "QUICK Bad Guy Green". The set name has to be equally original as the build!
Or maybe the greenness is actually the focus of the set, not the guy. Guess it’s not easy being green. (As this set exemplifies with all those greys.)
