Jam Pot Studios Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Looks kind of Incan to me, which would be an interesting aesthetic choice. I hope it's the Mask of Creation - so far, the story hasn't done justice to Artahka. Quote Blog|YouTube|Flickr Making brickfilms since 2007. Check out my latest animations: , , and Avengers Tower!

Nittany Nuva Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 How does that confirm anything of the sort? Rebooting the series wouldn't mean automatically rejecting any new ideas or designs. A reboot could take the series in whatever direction the writers want it to, which includes the possibility of masks, creatures, and concepts that might never have existed in classic BIONICLE.You're right, maybe it's not confirmed. But I don't think they would do a reboot without some tie to the past storyline. A golden Kanohi mask wasn't introduced until 2003 (and this is in no way the Avohkii) and before that the conflict was all about the creatures of the island. It wouldn't make any sense to fully rewrite the story and only keep the six Toa the same. I think that a continuation is more likely here. The whole point of a reboot is to sever it from the previous storyline and start new. At that point they can do whatever they want - borrow characters and story elements from the previous iteration, or just make something completely different. What you seem to be talking about is a soft reboot, where the previous story is not discarded, but is also not necessarily relevant to the new story. This allows new fans to get on board without feeling like they need to catch up on years of story, but also allows longtime fans to enjoy it as a continuation. I'm just hoping, if this is indeed the NYCC reveal, that we get some clarification on what the situation here is. Or if it's no longer taboo, see if Greg can fill fans in on what the deal is.

Adventurer Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I prefer the excitement now rather than worrying about disappointment later that would be overshadowed by whatever we do actually get. If it's not as cool it'll be disappointing anyway and if it is cool then we'll have that to be happy over instead. Personally I have a good feeling about what they've got in store.

Gatanui Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) YES ! Can we finally talk about the leaks ?Not any more than you could before today. As you said, those are still leaks and the fact that we now know BIONICLE is indeed returning does not change anything about those. If something about the old images was not allowed yesterday, it still isn't today. Of course you're free to speculate as wildly as you want about this new image. -Gata Edited September 8, 2014 by Gatanui 1 Quote - Gata Please don't use my avatar or signature without permission, thanks!

~Xemnas~ Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Wow, my first day back from my long hiatus and this happens! Anyway, I have complete faith in Lego that this'll be good. Plus, I think it'll be a reboot in order to have the most fresh story as possible. Though I do think that they'll use original story elements and take them in a new direction (example: six Toa on the island of Mata Nui need to defeat Makuta. Nothing more than that). That's about as fresh as it gets. 1 Quote BZPRPG Profiles Ghosts of Bara Magna Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I would welcome a change to the Kanohi powers for the Toa. To me, Gali's Mask of Water Breathing in 2008 was kind of getting old in terms of the ability. I would love to see new masks, designs, and abilities (even better abilities than Life, Time, and Creation...).

Tamarutoe Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) I'm thinking the mask is the Ignika, it looks an awful lot like the old concept sketches, and the top reminds me a lot of the old Matoran heads. On the other hand, I doubt they'de be so quick to bring Mata Nui back into the story. I also doubt that the mask of creation will ever be portrayed in a set. The mask was described as if it were creation embodied, something impossible even for Lego to portray physically.
