Vorred Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 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. There have been gold masks since day one. Also, reboot =/= remake. There's no reason why a reboot would have to hit the same notes as the original, it would kind of defeat the point of rebooting. You don't consider Batman Begins to be a remake of the Adam West movie, do you? Hm. That makes sense then. I never knew a reboot was a complete rewrite of a story. All options are still open. But I really hope it's a continuation, there's nothing to be rebooted in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorred Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 I freakin' exploded when I saw this. Unlike when I saw the news back in 2010 that Bionicle was ending, excitement is overthrowing me now and I feel joy inside me!! Looks like a crown of a tyrant king or something. I also think it looks like Vultraz with Kini Nui on his head.

Daniel the Finlander Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 That mask certainly looks a lot better than the one in the leaked coloured picture. I'll be a happy man when/if* Bionicle comes back. Not that I will buy any of the sets, but because a whole new generation of kids are going to have awesome time with it. *Yes, I take everything unofficial with a grain of salt. Bionicle or not.

RAMPANT Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Whether or not I buy sets will depend on the building system. If the new sets use the HF system I'll probably only get three or four (or six...), but if it is something different, I'll probably get quite a few. Either way, I hope the comics come back with it.

Bionicle has only been gone for 4 years. Not counting older, devoted fans, there will still be some crossover in the younger fanbase who would be thinking "they're going after the Mask of Life again?" I'm still banking on a soft reboot with a brand new story borrowing old characters. It'll make getting into the franchise easy for new kids, and won't feel completely jarring for existing fans (I assume Lego wants to keep their old fans while bringing in new ones at the same time). I'm thinking this is a new mask, with no backstory for people to catch up on. Make it fresh and new for everyone. 1 Quote 7. Putting all five Piraka in one tank seems like a dangerous idea.

Removed297 Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 (edited) It's time for the benkels to return, I see. I predict it'll involve so much needless additions to the story in its later years unless they've learnt from the original. I also predict people will suddenly stop disliking 06-10 and get all nostalgic about them seeing as the story of this will take the place as the cool 'new' thing to dislike. Happens with lots of things. I and my recently-reassembled Toa Mata will not be joining that group; the old and new shall stand side-by-side next year, finances willing. As for the new mask itself, it must be of some significance to be the one chosen for BIONICLE's theme icon. Off the top of my head, I can think of a few ideas for what it might be. 1. A combined form of six Kanohi. Perhaps if this is a reboot we'll see the combined Golden Kanohi have an appearance completely different from their composite masks? 2. A powerful plot-device mask, akin to the Vahi or Ignika. 3. The mask of a titan-sized figure. It could be Makuta, Takanuva, Arthaka, anyone at all. It doesn't look similar to the original Toa Mata Kanohi, and since old metallic coloured Kanohi were often reserved for larger kits, I doubt it's for a smaller set.
