Lielac Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Well, taking the six coloured tiles (red, green, blue, brown, black, white) as obviously representing the six Toa Mata, we can see that LEGO is hinting several things due to which colours are next to each other. Firstly, Tahu seems to have distanced himself from the group, possibly due to his inferiority complex from being the only non-Nuva. Second, Gali will continue having to hold the team together because they are inept at teamwork even after 100 000 years. Thirdly, Pohatu and Onua have become best friends after realising they are basically the same element. Lastly, Kopaka is staying as far from that pyromaniac nutter Tahu as possible. Oh, and the radar dish brick on the white background represents how LEGO wanted to include Kopaka's shield, but could only find a grey one off Benny's spaceship.Aw, man, no, you've got it all wrong. If Gali was still the heart of the team, wouldn't she be in the center instead of Pohatu? No, Pohatu's the real team center now. I think Gali's over there because she and Lewa are trying to convince Tahu that nobody thinks any less of him! Of course, Lewa keeps making "The Toa Nuva -- and Tahu" cracks, so I can see why he's not buying it, but it's the thought that counts. (oh mata nui now I need art. I can see it now; Tahu huffily glowering at not those jerks, while Lewa's invading Tahu's personal space with an arm flung over Tahu's shoulders, and Gali's facepalming but also trying to explain to Tahu that no, really, Lewa's just a giant incompetent dork who makes bad jokes, we really do still love you! And Pohatu is torn between trying to get those three to focus, keeping Kopaka from getting sick of all this nonsense and freezing Tahu until his head gets back on straight, and keeping the ol' future-versus-past Ko-Onu rivalry from flaring up between Onua and Kopaka when those two decide they might as well debate what they're going to do about the spiders. ... this might need to become a comic hELP I CAN'T DRAW WELL ENOUGH FOR THAT) 3 Quote I write stories, on occasion. Finishing them... yeah, uh. That's another thing entirely. Avatar made with the Rayg Kit 2.5, and featuring Lilak, Toa of Lightning.She is totally, totally not a shameless self-insert.

Taria Pakari Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Anyway, my most serious BIONICLE-related theory for this is a BIONICLE movie, but I have my doubts. Yeah I don't see them announcing a movie for a line they've not even started selling yet... though tbh I don't see a Bionicle movie happening in the first year of it's return either. They'd have to have the line become successful enough to even considering producing a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I really don't get what all this speculation is about. It's obviously the return of Galidor, what else could it be? -Gata It's not announcing the return of Galidor. It's announcing the return of Throwbots! Joking aside, I could see this announcement of the return of Bionicle. But I have no idea if it really is. I guess we just have to wait until Friday to find out. You know, I still want my Throwbots/Roboriders/Bionicle/Hero Factory cross-over. -NotS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No (which is a shame, because both could be epic). But the four looks a lot like the Fantastic Four logo, and a similar countdown was part of the intro to Thunderbirds (and the colors in the corner work for it, too). It's easy to see how people who don't know what to expect could get confused.

Wonder what the NYCC reveal will be then. -Gata Well the NYCC announcement did say a "brand new theme" would be unveiled... so I imagine the reveal is a brand new theme, which isn't really a term you could have used to describe BIONICLE 2015 in the first place. I don't mean to be snarky, either. It's probably something we haven't heard of yet, unless it's a new theme based off something preexisting like a license or ideas set. Actually, seeing as it's NYCC, I imagine a new license line isn't an unreasonable guess. I'll enjoy the anticipation of waiting, though!

Space: Ocean of Awe Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 I would bet my boots it's not going to be Bionicle, if only because people have been assuming any mysterious reveal is Bionicle, and they can't all be. To me, as far as reaching a larger audience, NYCC makes much more sense as a grand reveal. This could be anything, even a reveal of sets for this year that haven't been shown yet.I think you'd better go boot shopping. Yes! Perhaps a fourth virtue too: Unity, Duty, Destiny, Farshtey?XD Only now do I realize how freaking excited I am. And I wonder what the NYCC thing is going to be now! Too much awesomeness and excitement! And I think Lego really needs to learn how to keep a secret. =) Quote "Baby, in the final analyses, love is power. That's where the power's at."
