    G1 should have been a TV series

    Hi, guys. You know that Bionicle G1 has a lot of types of media, like direct-to-video movies, Mata Nui Online Games, comics, chapter books, online story serials, etc. However, it did not have a TV show.
     

    Ninjago has the right idea of using the TV show as the primary source of canon. Hero Factory and Bionicle G2 tried to have their own TV shows, but they did not expanded on their stories, and the shows prematurely ended with unresolved cliffhangers and other things. That’s unhealthy. 
     

    I mean, think about it. Transformers G1 started with a TV show, which is well-received, like Ninjago. So, Bionicle G1 should have used a TV show rather than the media that it got (there are some unresolved things, and two unfinished online serials, anyway. Also not healthy). 

    A TV show would give G1 a good layout on many things, including ones that got unresolved. The movies just had some snippets of one of G1’s story arcs here and there, but a TV show could include everything. This would give animators more time to make the characters and other things look more accurate to their finalized sets (but keep the human-ish realism and five-fingered hands), and more characters from the story would have been added. 

    So, there. This could have made G1 a little better than what actually happened. I get that you guys like to have nostalgia, but still. Maybe that could have saved Bionicle G1 from its toyline’s cancellation in 2010. The story would have finally gotten a real conclusion that way.

    As much as I agree and would love to see the entire G1 Bionicle story retold and brought to life in a TV series, I don't think Lego would consider it and in today business-wise after Bionicle's cancellation in 2010. However, having said this, Bionicle is still in a good place and in safe hands and I felt the community and Mask of Destiny was the best place to keep the old theme going and to enjoy them. Including animations of the 2008 series and the 2006/07 series made by YouTube animators Vrahno and Tohkann.  

    But never say never. Even though Bionicle is a long retired Lego theme, someday or even 20+ years time, someone from the community would become a professional animator or film director as a full time/part time career and would be aspired to bring Bionicle back with a vision either as a series of animated fan films or cinematic-style webisodes for the fans (old and new) to enjoy the experience.

    Biological Chronicle: The Complete Bionicle Collection

    in Bionicle Discussion

    Posted · Edited by bohrokmaster

    With help from family and friends, I have book binded my first volume of Biological Chronicle. During my first ever experience in printing a book, we used a type of printing paper that will support high colour printing. We used a home printer (the Epson WF-3520 series) to print the contents of the book from the PDF Print file and in colour ink. My brother reformatted them to A4 size that will also fit the text and the comic strip pages. The front cover was tweaked and resized to A4. The handmade book made by my service was not perfectly aligned with the cover but it was satisfying knowing I had made my physical copy.

    EDIT: Big thank you to TuragaNuva and Crosswired Geeks!

    The first sets came out in 2001, but obviously the concepts for the theme were being kicked around at Lego for a few years before that. 

    I was considering in changing the caption "Celebrating 20 years" to "Celebrating 22 years" but it could be either of them, I don't know🤷‍♂️

    I meant how often will you be updating this?

    and also this could be a way to get new fans into the community(starter book kind of)idk

    1) Soon.

    2) My magazine (or fanzine) is something I came up with as a celebration to the theme.

    3) It will also be a starter book for new fans as well as a free PDF download file to keep and share. It won't be perfect as a fan-made magazine, but it was something I enjoyed doing as a hobby on photoshop.🙂

    EDIT: I have been busy putting together a “FanZine” on photoshop. It was a personal pet project of mine and was good fun. The magazine is still in a long development phase with changes and some possible proofreading but it will be published as a file and a PDF once I have finished the entire magazine. Enjoy!🙂

    What is a FanZine?

    A FanZine is a blend of fan and magazine as a non-professional and non-official publication produced by enthusiasts of a particular cultural phenomenon (such as a literary or musical genre) for the pleasure of others who share their interest.

    Is the magazine weekly, monthly, or yearly?

    Matoran Universe: The BIONICLE FanZine would either be yearly, monthly, or weekly, depending on which direction it would go as this is the first edition with many character biographies, possible in-depth information, and a visualised timeline detailing the history of the BIONICLE Universe.

    Progress

    My Bionicle retrospect video

    in Fan Created Media

    Posted · Edited by bohrokmaster

    Lately I have been very busy with my video editing. It was very fun to do as a noobie youtuber as well as a late newcomer (due to my excessive time and effort with my former studies in college) but at the same time trying hard to push myself with my self-esteem. It's not perfect as a well edited video but it is something I wanted to share passionately over a well-known franchise that has changed my life from the past decade. (Please let me know if my post was in the wrong topic. Thanks.) (I am also having a difficult time in resizing my thumbnail lol)

    Look, I'm not the one who decided on the date for this. All I wanted to know was if you were excited for the event.

    I was very excited for 8IONICLE DAY! Thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the livestream. Having said that, I am so excited for next year and to play downloadable games like Masks of Power, Kohlii Champions, QFTMs Online Card Game!:happydance:
