When the Ignika made its own Toa body in honour of the 2 Toa who sacrificed their lives using its power, it gave itself a yellow/black body. Is it possible this body could resemble that of the first Toa to use it? Based on these colours, could that Toa (who we know is male) have been a Toa of Stone?

In its heyday, Metru Nui was known to have its shady Matoran who had to be dealt with by Vahki. When Teridax, disguised as Dume, called every Matoran to the Coliseum to be stuffed into Matoran Spheres, could there have been some such Matoran who refused, and then somehow escaped the Vahki (most of whom were too busy marshalling Matoran in the centre of the city) and gone into hiding?
If so, how do you think they would have managed over the 1,000 years thereafter?
Odds are slim that any would've survived, especially after the island's invasion by Visorak, but until then I could've seen them becoming looters, claiming whatever was left behind for their own, under the delusion they could live freely and prosperously without being pressured by Vahki or Toa. Even during and after the Visorak invasion, some may have adapted and learned to survive in hiding, possibly in an abandoned section of the Archives.
What do you think?

According to BIONICLESector01, Ta-Matoran can handle extreme heat. However, it also says Su-Matoran can handle more extreme heat than Ta-Matoran AND handle bright light.
This begs the question, what can Ta-Matoran do that Su-Matoran can't? Or are they just inferior to Su-Matoran in every way?

1: 2007 was not a very good year
2: Clone sets are awesome.

To many Pakari wearers in Onu-Koro, hard to keep them straight. Doesn't help when they "corrected" Taipu to also wear a Pakari.
Sure it could be Midak, I see no reason why it wouldn't be.IKR? But Midak is the only one who's monochrome, and that Matoran is monochrome.
-
In the Bohrok Online animation Le-Koro Liberated, one of the Onu-Matoran piloting a Boxor is monochromatic black with a black Pakari. This description also fits the MNOLG1 character Midak, the Ussal tender. Does that mean Midak was one of the Boxor pilots who battled in Le-koro?
He is more accustomed to light than other Onu-Matoran, so he'd be more capable of fighting above ground, strengthening my argument.

And what's wrong with their exclusive masks?

Your article says "unofficial", but I don't know. With Faber's connections it could lead to another round with LEGO given time. In the interim, if something does come of this, I wonder if we could get buildable characters we can add to our own collections.
Re. story, I remain loyal to G1 and a potential continuation/soft reboot. But I also see enormous potential inside the MU; we do have 101,001 years of MU existence to work with. Those guys know how to design a versatile lore one can do a lot with, so there is no reason whatsoever not to use it.

Addressing your second question: If memory serves, the Toa Mangai were each sent out on missions that were actually traps where they were killed by Eliminator.
Then why does it say on BS01 that some left the island to go on their own adventures? The reinforcement Toa from the Toa/Dark Hunter War I understand, but the article specified the Toa Mangai, which I assume meant the ones who fought the Kanohi Dragon.
-
I have two questions re. the Toa Mangai.
The first is more a story idea because
I'm a control freak and want a say in the canonI could see the naming of Naho Bay after one of the team's Toa of Water being a pattern. I think more locations on Mata Nui could also be named after other Toa Mangai in their honour. My ideas are below:- Hura-Mafa River, which flowed from Mount Ihu to Naho Bay, could be named after 2 of the 4 Toa Mangai of Ice, Hura and Mafa (not sure which, nor can I figure out the names of the others)
- Lake Kanae, a lake located in the jungles of Le-Wahi and Kanae Bay where Lewa washed ashore, could both be named after the Toa Mangai of the Green, Kanae
- The Motara Desert, in Po-Wahi, could be named after the Toa Mangai of Stone, Motara
- Papa Nihu Reef, off the coast of Onu-Wahi, could be named after the Toa Mangai of Earth, Nihu
I could also see a few landmarks named after significant Matoran who didn't make it to Mata Nui, just like how Mount Ihu was named after Ihu the Ko-Matoran seer. For example:
- Leva Bay being named after a Po-Matoran called Leva
- Tiro Canyon being named after a Po-Matoran called Tiro
- The Kumu Islets being named after a Ga-Matoran called Kumu
Is it still possible to submit stuff like this? At the very least I think it'll be good for discussion.
My second question involves a contradiction I found on BS01. According to the Bionicle Encyclopediae, after the Toa/Dark Hunter War, "Several of the Toa Mangai left the city for other islands, in order to have new adventures of their own." The remaining Toa Mangai except Lhikan were then killed by Eliminator. But according to BS01's table detailing each Toa Mangai, ALL of the Toa we don't know, plus Naho, are deceased and couldn't be revived in the Red Star, implying they all remained on Metru Nui and were killed by Eliminator. If some left the island before that culling, how did they die in such a similar manner? How do we know they're not still out there?

As you know, Skrall have black armour. But they also have a second colour, such as red, maroon or lime green. What I want to know is, what, if anything, do those secondary colours mean? Are they like clan colours or something?
-
Ideally an extension of some sort to Gen 1, be it a continuation, a soft reboot, or an episodic gap-filling exercise of things that happened during the events of Gen 1.

It would make sense. I mean, if you have 42 powers by default, it's easy to get carried away with even more
Though in all seriousness, since Toa are known to use multiple masks as well, and many Kanohi covering purposes that do not fall into the 42 Makuta powers, why would they restrict themselves from using multiple masks depending on the situation and what is needed?
But even Toa had primary Kanohi. That's the question: Makuta did not have primary weapons; did they not have primary Kanohi either?
-
No, I'm not talking about the spinnies.
We know some Makuta possessed armouries with various weapons and such, and that they rotated them on a regular basis. Did they do the same with Kanohi?
I wouldn't be too surprised considering Icarax and Tridax both used different Kanohi to what was considered to be their 'primary' Kanohi. But were their Kanohi really primary Kanohi, or did they have multiple Kanohi which they rotated regularly like their weapons?

It's not exactly the Matoran Universe, but how about the anniversary to the Battle Of Bara Magna that united the MU residents with the SM residents?

I actually found this on BS01 the other day under Light (Generation 1):
"The balance of Light and Shadow also has an effect on a being's other Elemental Powers. Any being unbalanced in either direction will gain the ability to use the corresponding element of Light or Shadow. In addition, any being who previously wielded an Elemental Power will now wield the new element instead."
By this logic, beings CAN become beings of Light if they have little to no shadow in them. In theory, this should mean that Skakdi of Light can exist if instilled with enough light/removed of enough shadow, which is above all else what I wanted to know. It also means Toa of Light can be created from Matoran/Toa of elements other than Light as well if adequate technology existed.
But now I'm curious about something else: Umbra has no shadow, so if his light was drained he would die. Does that mean that an MU being would die if all their light followed by all their shadow (or vice versa) was drained?
-
The Makuta of the prime universe trained themselves to push away their inner light and become shadow beings. Roodaka did similar, granting herself the ability to fire shadow blasts from her hands. Also, the Makuta of the Melding Alternate Universe trained themselves to purge themselves of shadow and become beings of light.
My questions are:
Can other beings (e.g. Toa, Matoran or Skakdi) train themselves in the same way?
Shadow Leeches and the Avsa drain light and make their victims beings of Shadow. Is there a method that can do the opposite, draining a being's shadow and making them beings of Light?
-
I always loved them, but maybe that was because I never saw them in Australia (I was told by LEGO Australia in a letter that they were K>Mart exclusives, but they sol out long before I found any), and that made them all the more precious, just like all the other sets I didn't get before turning 18.

Admins, please close/move if inappropriate.
I just found two volumes of Journey To One on DVD for sale in a Big W store at Southland Shopping Centre in Cheltenham, Victoria, Australia. However, I looked at the back of the covers, and grew extremely skeptical: both DVD cases' back covers were covered in artwork and scenes from The Legend Reborn!
Because of yet another long absence from BZPower, I'm not sure if the DVDs' release and misprints have been reported before, but I'm posting it here instead of via the news e-mail because I'd like to hear the community's thoughts, an if they've encountered these misprints too.
Sadly I didn't have a camera on me so I didn't get photo proof.

I can see Velika as the main villain, possibly as a Toa of Stone (we know he has a Matoran body capable of becoming a Toa based on the events of The Kingdom), with various lesser villains from the past (e.g. The Shadowed One, the gold-skinned being, the Element Lord of Earth) appearing each year.
I actually proposed a similar question in the Ask Greg topic over on TTV.
He said that since Velika was a Great Being and not an AI, he wouldn't be capable of transforming, as the AI has to change as well in order for masks and powers to start functioning.
Here's a link if you want to go check it out for yourself.
I just read about the contradiction on BS01, but it still doesn't make sense. A new alternate universe is created every time someone makes a decision, but the decision was Matoro's decision to hesitate, AFTER he met and was influenced by Velika. If the decision was of the GB to take a different body, then Velika would have a different personality, and as a result may not have wound up on Voya Nui. That, or even something unrelated, could've changed the course of history.

Lesovikk. I never saw it in stores in Australia, and out of desperation I bought one on eBay that arrived in cheap packaging and as a result had cracked joints.
And I still haven't replaced said joints yet.

A Gen 1 soft reboot/continuation set on Spherus Magna.
I can see Velika as the main villain, possibly as a Toa of Stone (we know he has a Matoran body capable of becoming a Toa based on the events of The Kingdom), with various lesser villains from the past (e.g. The Shadowed One, the gold-skinned being, the Element Lord of Earth) appearing each year. We can make it episodic like Hero Factory with a steady continuous story focusing on Velika, and we'd have an enormous planet we know next to nothing about to play around with.
Actually I've been thinking about this for a while, and plan to post my ideas in my blog later.

As much as I'd love another Bionicle return,
(especially a Gen 1 soft reboot/continuation)I think it's a bit early to be talking its return so soon after it finished again. Australia notwithstanding (as usual), it hasn't even been a year since Bionicle's last wave was released. It'll still need time to cool off a bit before LEGO tries again.Also, this post does appear to just be speculation. I don't see concrete proof.

Could the Toa Empire Alternate Universe = Spherus Magna alternate universe?
in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
Posted
Hey all! Long time no see!
I have a theory about 2 of the alternate universes we visited in the late story. Or is it just 1 alternate universe visited twice?
The first is the Toa Empire AU, visited in Dark Mirror. In this universe, the Makuta were never able to rebel against Mata Nui because Tuyet's Toa Empire stopped them. Furthermore, Tuyet's actions did not destablise the MU enough for him to take notice. This means that Mata Nui was not delayed in his mission to fix Spherus Magna, and he would've ended it on time.
In the Spherus Magna AU, visited by Vezon in Reign Of Shadows, Makuta never rebelled against Mata Nui. This means that Mata Nui was not delayed in his mission to fix Spherus Magna, and he ended it on time.
My theory, based on that similarity, is that both of those AUs are one and the same. How I think things worked is as follows:
Teridax learned how the Matoran Universe works, and how to strike Mata Nui down, LONG before the events of The Many Deaths Of Toa Tuyet when the Toa Empire AU was created, meaning he was already plotting his takeover WELL before then. Perhaps the timing of his raid of the Coliseum, in tandem with Lesovikk's resistance team, was timed specifically so he could access the mind of the Great Spirit at exactly the right time, as too early or late would result in his death shortly after.
We also know that a massive army was about to descend on Metru Nui to also overthrow Tuyet. I suspect that the battle that followed would've been destructive, and the Coliseum would have been destroyed during the battle, creating the gap Teridax needed to enter the Great Spirit's mind and do what he needed to do, most likely with an improved, faster-working version of the virus he used in the core universe that circumstances may have granted him the time to refine and make. The commotion of the battle would've been the perfect cover to use his virus on Mata Nui unnoticed. He would also have allowed his body to be destroyed in the battle so his antidermis form could get in, and everyone could think him dead and thus suspect nothing.
Again, from there he would've banished Mata Nui and the Ignika into space, not for the sake of conquest, but as a means to stop Tuyet and her empire. Mata Nui would've then found and remade the prototype robot sooner, perhaps with less resistance and more co-operation from the Skrall, since the events happening earlier would've meant no baterra sightings/interference, which was what led Tuma to lead his Skrall against the Agori in the first place.
From there, Mata Nui and Teridax would've reformed Sperus Magna sooner, and Teridax (probably having seen the folly of tyranny and conquest from another angle through Tuyet) would've been redeemed and given up on his dreams of conquest and willingly complied. The other surviving Makuta, e.g. Krika, would've been spared and helped him fight off any further resistance from the Toa Empire after he took over the MU (remember; no-one found out about Tuyet's death before our Takanuva left the dimension, so the Toa may have kept fighting in her name, and likely continued to see Teridax as the bad guy afterwards), and then took control of the Skrall on SM, and used them to stop Marendar (who would DEFINITELY have activated in this AU too) from wiping out the remaining Toa, especially those who sided against Tuyet.
Miserix, however, was imprisoned the whole time, and STILL wanted revenge against the other Makuta for imprisoning him, declaring war on them and those they live with on SM. New Toa (including Jaller and Kongu) would've been brought into being to help fight off Miserix's army and protect the Matoran and Agori.
Any thoughts or holes that need filling? Anything I missed? Feel free to critique. This is actually the first proper theory I've posted on BZPower so I'm new to all this, so I apologise if I didn't do it correctly.
