Mask of Ultimate Power

[MrSciFiGuy]

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?

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.

[25K Now!]

It might be capable of doing everything.

 

I mean, it is the Mask of Ultimate Power.

[The 1st Shadow]

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.

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.

[Toa Malachives]

I think it has control over all elements

[Nidhiki of the Shadows]

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.

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.

[The 1st Shadow]

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?

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...

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.

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.

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.

I'm torn between whether or not I would want the MoUP to be the next Vahi. 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?
