Popular Post Zidonaro Posted March 21, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2015 (edited) Has anyone ever noticed this ?

Banana Gunz Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 *throws work into the air, pushes self away from desk, strips naked, runs outside, cries* But one could actually say they do. The way Mata-Nui had matoran as his sort of cells which were bio-mechanical whereas he was completely mechanical, matoran can have cells which can be their own matoran, and are completely organic whereas the matoran are partially. Some fun consistency there, so even if they don't have little tohunga running around in them, the cells could take that role. But bruh that little tohoonga is so cute! 2 Quote tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooster Nui Posted March 21, 2015 Share Posted March 21, 2015 That's a great find, but the seen can't be unseen. Of the thousands of times I've looked at my Matoro's body piece, I've never noticed that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regitnui Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 So now we have proof that matoran were based off marsupial mammalians, and that baby matoran are much like baby Kangaskhan. They never leave their mother unit's 'pouch' until the mother unit dies, upon which they develop their own pouch and own baby to carry 5 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...

bonesiii Posted March 22, 2015 Share Posted March 22, 2015 I remember noticing that there are "lines" pointing from that circle (which I took as the heartlight) to the limbs, so possibly the equivalent of blood vessels / wires heading to them (representative of them, of course, since it's gaps in the plastic), or a skeleton, or nervous system lines, etc. Didn't catch that it looks like a Matoran though.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted March 23, 2015 Share Posted March 23, 2015 WHAT THE-?!?!?! I honestly can't believe in all the 14 years I have been following Bionicle I have never once noticed this...

Grungemeister Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Am I the only one who is staring at other pieces trying to make other connections?http://prntscr.com/6ps3xx It never ends! EDIT: I just happened to remember that someone once pointed out that many of the limbs of Matoran and Toa have "accordion" or "ribbed" joints or on other places. Examples:http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=60899http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=47300http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=x240http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=50920http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32482http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=47311http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=47297http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=32578http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=40507Now all of these are well and good: it shows that many MU inhabitants share this feature, especially Matoran. There is however, one more limb that has this design: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=41670Maybe they were trying to point out the connection between Bohrok and Matoran all along?
