Hapori Tohu Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Lots of people let us know that LEGO has released Episode 9 of the Bionicle animations in English. You can check out "The City of the Mask Makers" on LEGO.com or YouTube, depending on your preference. Tahu receives a message from Ekimu as our heroes continue their journey to wake him. But what's that at the end? Probably a hint at the summer story, which I can't wait to hear more about!

fishers64 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 "The masks will guide us!" Nice try, Onua, but I think you meant to say, "Trust in the masks; let them be your guide."Onua does not even come close to the awesomeness of Vakama. Also, +400 Pohatu again. He's in the running for my favorite Gen 2 Toa characterwise. 1 Quote Hero Factory RPG | Bionicle Mafia XXIX: Storyline & Theories Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aanchir Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 That episode was actually really cool. I always do like when media shows you the aftermath of a climactic battle rather than just ending with the end of the battle. I watched the first season finale of Arrow with my parents last night, and while it was an awesome finale, it definitely left me wanting more, since it ended immediately after a major event without giving even a glimpse of how the event would influence the direction the characters would take going forward. I think stories often work a lot better if you do leave room for a little bit of "falling action" at the end of one arc before leaping into the "rising action" at the beginning of the next arc. Even though we still don't know what the events of the next story arc might be, this latest episode at least tells us what the next step in the Toa's quest will be. Plus we get a teeny-tiny teaser of the villains they will be facing!My favorite part of this episode, though, is the credits. It's good to know who we should thank for this wave's sets and story! The human creative input that makes BIONICLE (or any franchise I love) what it is has always fascinated me. Thankfully, just as in G1, the G2 BIONICLE team has been very open about the "making of" its sets and storyline. Even though we don't have a direct contact for our questions like we had in Greg Farshtey back in G1 (which has its pros and cons), the first info we got about this reboot came from a New York Comic-Con panel, and subsequently we've gotten a LEGO Club Magazine interview, a LEGO Club Magazine insert featuring story details and concept art, and a series of designer videos (something even G1 didn't have). I hope this discourse between the creators and fans continues in the future! 5 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 (edited) I like this episode. It shows some good suspense. Now we get to see a hand from one of the summer villains that Toa would be facing. Plus, I like Pohatu's seriousness. He sounds cool. Onua is being resourceful again. I like that, too. He is like on the roll, so it could more possible that he would be the leader of the Masters. Plus, his quote about masks reminds me of Vakama's back in the Mask of Light movie. I love to see the credits. It's cool to see Greg Farshtey and Christian Faber in there.However, there is one funny thing about Tahu and it is that he stuttered when he is hearing Ekimu's voice. I don't know why he did that. Ekimu sounds like an old man. Well, that's unexpecting. Edited April 26, 2015 by Lenny7092 Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory!

TinkerTech Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Eh.... I really like the concept of the videos, and the story, and the characters. I guess the only thing I don't like about these videos is the VA. (Only saying this because I just watched all of them.) I really like how this arc is progressing, though. I just wish there was a little more... clarification on the bad guys other than, "evil forces" Come on, Protectors, the Turaga are totally outdoing you in the information department! 1 Quote Defy Expectations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarutoe Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ridiculously low voices are no longer Onua's sole possession... Nice episode though- Tahu may not measure up to Gen 1 Vakama, but he sure does channel him a lot Quote Mantax can win connect four in three moves.

Jedi Knight Krazy Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Bat-Pohatu is best Pohatu. That is all. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lenny7092 Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Bat-Pohatu is best Pohatu. That is all. I like Bat-Pohatu, too. He just sounds awesome. Though I still miss his cheerful G1 self, but sounding like Batman is cool. Doesn't feel classic that way, but okay, in terms of the reboot.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I said it in the Official Bionicle 2015 topic, and I'll say it again; Pohatu seemed to be taking a sort of leadership role here in this episode. Not that its a bad thing. In fact, I would love to see him become the leader of the team. His Gen 2 attitude could make a really cool leader in the future storyline IMO. 2 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Millennium Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I'm disappointed by the quick defeat of the Lord of skull spiders. What happens now to the spiders under its control? What was its goal? Why did it want the masks? Looking forward to see how the new enemies are presented, and if those questions are going to be answered (and maybe a LoSS comeback. no? okay...)

Prowl Nightwolf Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Yes bring back the Lord of Skull Spiders. Maybe even more than one. An army of Lord of Skull Spiders evolved from the baby skull spiders.

Anyway, the episode 9 is up in Bionicle.com: http://www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle/videos/9-the-city-of-the-mask-makers-ec73896e670146288c1be9d6d6b60c08 (sorry for the long thing. ) I am looking forward for new webisodes in the summer because I love them so far.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Thanks for the update, Lenny7092. I was hoping we would get a preview for the next wave but I guess it's a little early. Still, nice to finally have all the webisodes available on the main website. This would have been more exciting if not for the leaks early in the year... -NotS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
