  1. I will work for Lego one day, and if it isn't back by then, I will bring it back myself. I am writing a story that has enough connection to g1 to definitely be in the same universe, but little enough connection that it won't need to retcon anything. it is far from complete, but it will likely be finished by the time I get hired by lego. I am also designing parts and systems that will help narrow the gap between constraction, system, and technic.(mixel joints are the future.) At age 5 when I had the MRI that diagnosed me with epilepsy I was given the toa mata pohatu set, and because the toa came in a canister I had a frame of reference for the MRI machine and I wasn't afraid. I learned to read with the books, and the last christmas present I got from my grandpa was a rahkshi. tldr, I owe a lot to the series, and I will pay my debts. Bionicle will be back.
  2. Interesting idea, that wasn't really what I was going for, for the Islamds of Deit, my idea for that was that after the battle, and reformation, there was a lot of volcanic activity under the waves that cause a lard underwater mountain shain to form, and at the top of that chain the Deit Island chain was formed, with the main Island having a volcano that was formed that would overtime lesson the activity underground, and this stop the creation of more islands and isles, but this would happen MANY years before the Island Chain would have even been discovered so, there really wouldn't be a threat of volcanic eruptions. But as for the Island of Mata Nui, well, Mata Nui was much MUCH larger than Deit, if anything survived from it, ir would probably be on the other side of the world, or embeded into the terrain somewhere. As an off note, I think I have found a bit of an easteregg in the map of the matoran universe; Doesn't this look rather familiar? As in this; Okay, It's not 100% the same, but it's pretty close. one of the feet is okoto.
  3. Have any of you guys seen this: The 99 is 1999, when this sketch was drawn. this is a drawing by the main concept artist for bionicle, and it was locked in a drawer for the duration of Bionicle and referred to only as "the Big Story Engine." the mata-nui robot was in the story from the beginning.
  4. But G1 Pohatu didn't do everything with a smile on his face. In Comic #6 he was anything but cheerful, first somberly lamenting the way the Bohrok had driven all the life from the canyons of Po-Wahi, then striking back against the Bohrok with vengeful fury. When traveling through the tunnel to the Bohrok hive, he also comments on the tunnel walls with grim apprehension. Pohatu was cheerful when he needed to be, but he was definitely not some happy-go-lucky "free spirit". What's more, we've seen nothing to suggest G2 Pohatu is grim or serious compared to his predecessor. This seems to be an assumption people are arriving at based on his deep, gruff voice in his character video (hence the pretty much completely unfounded Batman comparisons), but a deep, gruff voice says nothing about a character's attitude. Hagrid from the Harry Potter movies had a deep voice, and when he had something serious to say he would sound serious about it, but his personality was downright ebullient. Not to mention, that voice clip was of Pohatu reciting a mantra. Should he not have sounded serious as he did so? Of course he didn't do everything with a smile on his face. You take what I said far too literally. Of course no relatable character will have a smile twenty-four/seven. My point was, given what we've seen of Pohatu thus far, he is far more serious about what he does in gen 2 than he was in gen 1. Get it? EDIT: And, coming to myself, I was trying to commend Pohatu's character more than anything else really. Like I said, Pohatu is among my favorite characters, and from what we've seen thus far, it appears he will be largely changed... But that's only what we've seen of him. Is that the deep voice and boomerangs talking? Is that the deep voice and boomerangs talking? Well either way, Brohatu, RIP if you're dead, if not, arise from the ashes, cheer everyone up, and get them to stahp calling you Batman. I'd say everything is fan speculation at this point; we've seen too little of Pohatu to effectively assume anything. He might end up just as kindhearted as his former self in the later media. And what is cool/serious about boomerangs? When I first saw the Gen 2 Toa sets, I couldn't stop thinking to myself how goofy he looks. Onua's warhammer was a good move, though. Batman has boomerangs, I think that both sides of this argument are unfounded as of yet, and that the reason for the wierd voice problem is caused by having a single voice actor who is already saying everything in a gravely voice.
  5. I had assumed that his mask was Intended to be Ruru to begin with. The night-vision would make sense for a Toa of light. Also, I thought that the Yellow Red and Blue were references to primary colors and the idea that light is comprised of all colors.
  6. The animation for the new story is great, but the voice actor seems constantly panicked, and delivers every line as if it was the most important.

  7. I would like to make a post on my Blog about this, but I want to ask permission first. also, to whoever is doing the sound effects, I found out that the mechanical chatter noise from MNOG 1 is just improperly modulated radio transmission of speech.
