Makuta the Mask Hoarder

Recommended Posts

Has anyone checked the LEGO Shop homepage? If you give a click on the Mask of Life image, it brings you to a page with a bunch of links to BIONICLE pages- with a unique description of the BIONICLE Story:

 

Summoned by the Islanders of Okoto, the Toa have fallen from the sky to fight an ancient evil! Their masks make them the masters of the six elements, but legend tells of the powerful GOLDEN MASKS, which were scattered over the Island and now lie hidden. Now they must work with the Protectors to find each one and stop Makuta the Mask Hoarder recovering the MASK OF CREATION.

In addition to the absorbing world and compelling story, the buildable action figures feature a simple and familiar snap-building system. Each model can be reassembled effortlessly after rugged play and combines easily with other sets to create new and ever more powerful heroes!

 

The really unique part I guess would be this new title Makuta has. Is this going to be his title? The "Mask Hoarder". Because it's capitalized, I think it very well could be.

 

Thoughts on this?

Maybe the Matoran created toys, like action figures with masks, and they made Mask Packs for the other Matoran to collect, and Makuta wants to collect them all. They need to stop him before there are no more Mask Packs, which would ruin the Matoran action figure industry.

Really? This is the first I've seen it. Was there mention of this before the S@H site came up?

 

No, but the S@H thing has been there for quite a while now.

DUN DUN DUN...

 

Wouldn't it be funny if the Matoran or Okotians played with Hero Factory action figures? :P  :P  :P

Wait, Makuta is the Mask Hoarder? The Skull Spiders seem like a more appropriate choice to me, but okay.

Makuta is implied to be guiding the Skull Spiders in some way.

Oh? I haven't noticed any connection between Makuta and the Skull Spiders, and I've been trying to keep an eye out for that. Hasn't Makuta been in a coma since before the Skull Spiders appeared?

In Ireland we don't have Bionicle even listed in shop@home, so this is the first I've heard of Makuta not being in a coma, let alone hoarding masks.

If the above post has offended you in any way, please send me a PM. It won't help, as I won't respond, but you may feel better afterwards, and keep your frustration to yourself instead of saying something stupid.

This all makes sense. Makuta envied how everyone loved Ekimu's masks the most, and so he decided to make a mask that defied their sacred law. However, this mask held too much power, and in the end corrupted him. Makuta is no longer the friendly mask maker, he's a power hungry caniving villain who wishes to do something... we just don't know what yet. It does make sense for him to take masks though. In his mind If no one wants his masks, why should they get Ekimu's? OH! Also you can see the mask of Ultimate Power, which is most likely part of Makuta's own consciousness now, looking over the Skull Spiders and the LoSS in one of the promo pictures.

Do they like Slizers/Throwbots or Roboriders, too? :P

Some summaries of the theme's story have said something to the effect that Makuta is gaining power once again. So far, we've seen no clear indication of WHY exactly the Skull Spiders are collecting masks (since, after all, they can't wear masks themselves), but it's possible that, perhaps even subconsciously, Makuta might be influencing the Skull Spiders and having them set the stage for his return. Don't forget that Makuta originally wore the Mask of Control, and we still don't know the exact powers that mask exhibits.

Well, perhaps that's entirely the point; the spiders are being fuelled by Makuta's subconscious. They don't hear; "Get the Mask of Ultimate power, Control and Creation." They hear; "Must have the Masks..." The vast majority of masks the spiders collect are useless to Makuta, and so are left one side; hoarded, if you will.

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...

I thought Makuta made masks, not hoarded them? He can't make any profit if he keeps everything he makes. It's bad for business.
