SailorQuaoar Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Some of the secondary Toa elements in the original story were awesome (and would have made some cool sets), but others were redundant or over-powered. Lego will probably stick to the basic 6 elements for a while, but I could see some of the others working their way back in. Lightning: I see lighting/electricity as the most likely element to return. In Lego themes with elemental motifs, lightning is usually the blue element instead of water, as in Hero Factory and Ninjago. Plus, with water's main color now being the lighter azure, I can see mata blue being reserved for lightning. Iron: Iron/metal is another likely candidate to come back, as it has precedence with Bulk in Hero Factory. And we all know how Lego loves to slap silver and gunmetal onto every set it can.Since orange doesn't seem to be a main fire color anymore, maybe it and gunmetal could be used for iron? Sonics: Sonics/sound is less likely, but Hero Factory's Stringer did have sound-based abilities (even if he had a completely different color scheme). I could see sound users wielding instrument-like weapons, but I have no idea what their colors would be. Psionics: Psionics/mind is even more out there (and can be very overpowered) but I always thought it was cool. If we didn't get a Toa of mind, maybe a one-off villain with psychic abilities? It needs new colors though. I will suggest pale pink as one of them. Magnetism: Redundant with iron. I never liked this one being an official element. It's just psionics but for metal objects only. But I could see it as a power. Gravity: Too overpowered to be a whole element. Also, black and purple is now earth's color scheme. But I could see a villain with gravity-based abilities. Plasma: Redundant with fire. Plantlife: Technically canon, if only because it and air are the same element now. But that's just my opinion. What do you think? If these other elements had villages/regions, what would they look like? What kind of weapons would Toa of these elements wield? How would their abilities manifest?

Voltex Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I want lightning to be brought back and I want us to get a Toa of Lightning set. I also want said set's primary colors to be magenta and white. I'd like sonics if it was given a primarily mata blue/trans blue and black color scheme.

Dorek Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lightning, but only if they call it "Electricity" so it sounds less pretentious. 1 BS01's Ambassador (Like us, Follow us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SailorQuaoar Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lightning, but only if they call it "Electricity" so it sounds less pretentious.That name would be a mouthful though. Electricity has 5 syllables. Lightning only has 2. Plus lightning is more fantasy-sounding. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 1st Shadow Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 I wouldn't mind seeing Light come back. But the question of how they would do the colors still stands, since they seem to be throwing as much gold onto the sets as they can, it seems, so gold and white might get redundant from Kopaka. Lightning/Electricity would be another cool one, but instead of blue, why not yellow, the way a lot of us imagined the element before it was revealed to be blue/white? Iron is another good one, and I like the idea of gunmetal and orange for it. Other than that, I think the fewer elements, the better. Don't get me wrong, I loved the wide elemental diversity we saw back in G1, but even I have to agree that there came a point where there may have been too many. ~Your friendly, neighborhood Shadow ~Credit for Avatar and Banner goes to NickonAquaMagna~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballom Nom Nom Posted January 18, 2015 Share Posted January 18, 2015 Lightning, but only if they call it "Electricity" so it sounds less pretentious.That name would be a mouthful though. Electricity has 5 syllables. Lightning only has 2. Plus lightning is more fantasy-sounding. Electricity is actually accurate, though, given that in practically every case such a Toa would generate electrical current instead of a storm releasing lightning. Also, saying three extra syllables is hardly a hardship. Anyway, I think that electricity would actually be pretty cool to see added, and it meshes well with the current six elements. Otherwise, I'm not sure too many more elements would be necessary. Avoiding bloat by keeping elements to a minimum sounds good for the time being, I'd say. ~B~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
