MrSciFiGuy Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I know we have limited information, but its just too fun talking about this stuff and seeing BZP alive. Gen 2 is primarily simplified, assumed to have no complicated canon like mask names, in-world physics/discrepancies, and the like that Gen 1 had. Taken with a grain a salt, I don't want to overanalyze this but: What do you think the Mask of Ultimate Power (or MouP "moop"), does? It could be the simple explanation of it controlling several elements, or that the combination of all 6 elements creates the Mask of Time. We all know the Vahi is very apparent, and will play a role somewhere, whether it be the MouP or another year's quest. So watcha think? -MrSciFiGuy 2 Quote Bionicle: ANP aims to create narrated versions of all the Bionicle books, with voice actors for each character, and music taken from various media to enhance the story.

Regitnui Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I personally think the MoUP might be related to the Vahi in the same way the Toa Okoto are related to the Toa Mata, but I reserve speculation. Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

25K Now! Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 It might be capable of doing everything. I mean, it is the Mask of Ultimate Power. 2 Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 1st Shadow Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think of it like a powered-down version of Marvel's Reality Gauntlet--it has power over basically everything. But, to simplify it for BIONICLE, it just has more limited control over everything.

Aanchir Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think the idea that the Mask of Ultimate Power might be a new Mask of Time, or connected to the Mask of Time in some way (Mask of Time and Space?) is incredibly plausible. After all, a lot of what we know about the Mask of Ultimate Power is that it required an unprecedented mask making technique, is incredibly dangerous, and is desired by Makuta, just as the Mask of Time was in the old story. Perhaps more importantly — its physical appearance has so far been concealed. Coupled with the Mask of Time being very present on the minds of the animators (and the NYCC comment about how this time "we're going to have the whole mask"), the two being one and the same would not surprise me. If it's not the Mask of Time, though, then I don't dare speculate about what it MIGHT actually be, since all we know about it is what little we've been told. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Malachives Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I think it has control over all elements Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I definitely think the MoUP being the Mask of Time is not out of the realm of possibility. In fact, I'd be pretty pleased if it was. It would also keep consistent to LoMN with the Disk of Time. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jam Pot Studios Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 Maybe it's one of those storylines where by combining all the elements you gain a seventh power, which could be reality control or just as easily time. That's what the first animation kinda' suggested to me, anyway. Quote Blog|YouTube|Flickr Making brickfilms since 2007. Check out my latest animations: , , and Avengers Tower!

The 1st Shadow Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've been toying with the idea that the Mask of Time and MoUP are separate objects. Let's say Ekimu suspected his brother would try something nasty, and so to combat this, he secretly created the Mask of Time and hid it in the (get ready for this) Temple of Time. Coincidence that the location has such a name? I think not. Makuta later creates the MoUP in secret, and then tries to use it. But before Ekimu can get to the Temple of Time, his brother goes power-crazy and he has to stay and end the madness before it goes too far. Plausible? 2 Quote ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But before Ekimu can get to the Temple of Time, his brother goes power-crazy and he has to stay and end the madness before it goes too far. Plausible?Makes sense. Also, something I just realized. So the Mask of Ultimate Power contains the power of all 6 elements. If it IS the Mask of Time. That means all the elements combined makes a mask with control over time. Ekimu's and Makuta's masks, unlike every other mask in the story (except perhaps the MoUP) do not have elemental powers. Is it possible that their masks were, in fact, created with the power of more than one element? Perhaps, for example, the Mask of Creation is the result of the combination of Jungle + Fire + Stone in a mask. Also, why are Ekimu & Makuta gold? Are they the same species as the villagers? What if they're from an ancient seventh tribe of the element of light? Perhaps we may see the return of masks with non-elemental powers in the future...

What if they're from an ancient seventh tribe of the element of light? Perhaps we may see the return of masks with non-elemental powers in the future... I think it's due to the fact that both Ekimu & Makuta are high-ranking/legendary figures on Okoto. It hasn't been revealed yet as to who created their masks, or if they made said masks themselves.

fishers64 Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 So the Mask of Ultimate Power contains the power of all 6 elements. If it IS the Mask of Time. That means all the elements combined makes a mask with control over time.This is possible. We don't know what merging all six elemental disks together would result in for a mask. Is it possible that their masks were, in fact, created with the power of more than one element? Perhaps, for example, the Mask of Creation is the result of the combination of Jungle + Fire + Stone in a mask.According the Legend video, there was "a rule that a Mask could not contain the power of more than one element, otherwise it would become too strong and dangerous." Ekimu's and Makuta's masks weren't really that hazardous of themselves, so I think that either Creation and Control are non-elemental, or they are their own elements. 2 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesiii Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I suspect the Vahi and the MoUP are two separate masks; I think the MoUP is probably more like a "control anything" power. But there would be precedent, if Gen2 has some kind of a power mixing system like Gen1 had; the Gen1 Vahi power resulted from a mixture of completely unrelated powers in the Great Disks. 1 Quote The Destiny of Bionicle (chronological retelling of Bionicle original series, 9 PDFs of 10 chapters each on Google Drive): Part 1 - Warring with Fate | Part 2 - Year of Change | Part 3 - The Exploration Trap | Part 4 - Rise of the Warlords | Part 5 - A Busy Matoran | Part 6 - The Dark Time | Part 7 - Proving Grounds | Part 8 - A Rude Awakening | Part 9 - The Battle of Giants My Bionicle Fanfiction (Google Drive folder, eventually planned to have PDFs of all of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And something interesting to note... remember back when the Lego Bionicle Facebook page first opened? ‘’It is told that there exists a mask that will grant its bearer unspeakable power. Made from raw magic and solid gold, it is an artifact crafted with absolute precision and timeless skill – it is known as the Mask of Creation’’ Notice the part where it says the Mask of Creation is made from raw magic and solid gold. Apparently the MoCr (and probably also the MoCo) are made of gold. And the Golden Toa masks are apparently actual gold. So what is every other mask made out of? Iron? Steel? Does the material affect the power or strength of the mask?
