I have never even seen it inferred the the Matoran ever rebuilt themselves, and I think it's a bad idea to infer it to be canon (never really made any sense, IMO). Many people just like the look of the rebuilt matoran.

 

When you said you were going for a more roman look in Po-Koro, I was worried that you were not going to be faithful to the original online game, but I'm pleased to see you incorporated the old hut style dwellings with the new architecture many posts imply in your sketch.

 

This looks really cool. Although it won't be hard canon (I still try to pretend everything is hut dwelling style), it will be fascinating to have a reference point to each of the various locations and cool to see how you envision most of the Koros. I look forwards to seeing the maps.

Actually, it was general statement that the turaga taught the matoran how to rebuild themselves from their weaker tohunga bodies into the bigger matoran bodies they have from 2003 onwards. The point was that the containment spheres degenerated the bodies of matoran while they slept, but somehow they were able to build it back. I never really got the point of that little insert, but it is what TLG decided to use as canon explanation for the change in matoran builds. :/

 

I am not going to be faithful to the original online game. I will be incorporating key elements and places that may have been left over from the MNOG, but the BZPRPG is much more developed into the future then that game. There are taller races with different cultures, there are more toa, and there is a drive to create larger cities to house everyone and provide the best way of life possible. Essentially I'm keeping the Bionicle feel from MNOG and other sources (such as comics and movies), but sticking to the RPG canon. If a place has been destroyed it will look like a ruin on my maps, regardless if the game location was populated with happy matoran.

 

Thanks for the interest! I like having a hut-style for matoran dwellings, but I feel the taller races need something a little more, shall we say, accommodating. Also, you can only do so much with spheres (I'll be proving just how much with my Le-Koro maps, which is quite a lot, no worries). Check back in as the project grows!

I just realized you meant specifically in the RPG canon. WOOPS! Yes, absolutely. Great point. I will go edit immediately.

This is a great idea. All the best for the project! Too bad I'm a horrible artist so I can't help that way...

 

BTW, are you going to be doing Blackrock and Darkmine in the future?

hehhe. What do you think my friend?

Of course. Ak'Rei'An would love to have more converts.
