Hapori Tohu Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The LEGO.com Videos page has been updated with all the summer 2015 Bionicle character videos. Skull Slicer's video had already been available, but you can now watch the Toa and Ekimu face off against Skull Warrior, Skull Basher, Skull Scorpio, and Skull Grinder! It's very likely that we'll see these videos and other updates added to Bionicle.com as the sets are officially released this coming week!

Nescent Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 These are so much more exciting than the animations for the Masters! It gives me hope for the upcoming webisodes. Also, check out the pew-pew on Warrior's. Someone really likes to mash that sound effect. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishers64 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 What I find more interesting is the descriptions of each of the videos. Basher is an elite gaurd, Scorpios are scouts, Warriors are...Warriors, and Grinder is OP. I also like Ekimu's character video. Underdog beats the big bad. Classic.

FrozenFlash Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Man. The Toa are getting curb stomped in these videos. What ever happened to teamwork and unity ? Anyways, I actually kind of like these character videos better than the Toa ones. There's like more story and action in them. Can't wait to see the complete episodes when they're released.

Daler99 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Kulta's video creeps me out. Seriously! Anyway, I really liked Scorpio's video. The rest are neat as well. Quote ~Daler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rahkshi Lalonde Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 for some reason i really like how drowsy skull basher's eyes look here, and how sluggish the few movements he makes are. it could just be they didn't want to animate him too much more than needed, but idk on him it looks... interesting? o: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan McOwen Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Who's that tiny villager in front of the Toas in Skull Basher's video? Looks like Ekimu, but drained. Note the flecks of gold on some of his armour and mask. Quote I inadvertently predicted Vorox armour's use in G2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bionicleFanatic Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Ekimu's one line in his vs. video: "Ahhh..." Kinda sounds like a burp. O_O *_* [] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardT1977 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 The Mask of Creation actually has a similar shape to Sauron's helmet in the Lord of the Rings movies, so perhaps Kulta's single-swing smackdown was intended to evoke that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Now I'm really excited to see the upcoming episodes with the Skull Villains! It looks like the Toa are going to have some tough fights ahead of them. Especially against the Skull Grinder. I was not expecting him to be powerful enough to one shot all the Toa AND knock their golden masks off. Though the Toa did make it easy for him by charging straight at him all at once.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 These were awesome! I hope this is an indication of the quality of the Summer animations because they seemed super action-packed with great animation. Skull Scorpio's was great, it represented a fantastic conflict with a stalemate that set up a confrontation with Pohatu, which seems epic in itself. Skull Warrior's was more a showcase of what that legion does in these shorts, and the Skull Basher's was pretty cool but done in a little more typical fashion than Scorpio. Interesting that Ekimu is grey-ish black in that clip. But man, both Ekimu and Skull Grinder's were mind-blowing. Ekimu, for his "underdog-beats-bigbad" trope and Grinder's for the content. Him knocking off the Toa's Masks is the same as in the book previews we got from Amazon, so we know that's legit! Looks absolutely epic. -NotS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JungleSlizer Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 This part of the video made my day:I just love how the animations include cartoonish elements, they are so jolly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lego_dude Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 The "Toa Okoto" really have to step their game up! The scene with Kulta defeating the Toa reminded me of the time when Brutaka did the same thing to the Toa Nuva (with the Matoran) on Voya Nui. Not sure if the animators wanted to harken back to that specific scene though. (Especially since it was never actually illustrated only described). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mish Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Other than uniting the elements, I don't see the need for six toa who get beat by one guy who, along with his minions gets stomped a pint-sized old coot.

IXRollOutIX Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) Honestly, I don't see why the Toa getting constantly trounced at this point in the game is a bad thing. All of them have lost their memories and experience in battle and they're still learning to work as a team. Toa teams have always been a bit dysfunctional, and this just seems to me like par for the course. The Toa losing to an experienced, powerful adversary is not meant to shame them. It's meant to prove that the Toa still have much to learn and how impressive Ekimu really is. I've always loved underdog stories though. I'm all for ridiculously powerful villains with the odds tilted far in their favor going up against unexpected heroes, but that's just me.

Toa of the Blazing Inferno Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Ekimu's video is on YouTube now, and there's a slight difference that I thought was interesting. It doesn't have to do with the story at all, Ekimu's name is just visible in his first scene, where it isn't in the video from the website. I wonder why they made that change.

Lenny7092 Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 This part of the video made my day:I just love how the animations include cartoonish elements, they are so jolly. Man, that's a big hit! Awesome! Reminds of G1, when Brutaka defeated the Toa Nuva and six Matoran from Voya Nui in one swing. Nostalgia. Anyway, Kulta is like Sauron when he puts on the Mask of Creation. The Toa seem to be losing. The Skull villain videos are awesome, like the Skull Slicer one! The villains prove to be powerful opponents to the Toa. The animation are very nice! Plus, Pohatu seems to think that scorpions are always his archenemies. It's interesting that Skull Basher puts in Onua's de-powered mask. Ekimu is awesome, too. He may be a small guy, but it seems that he can defeat the Skull villains. Quote I like Lego, Bionicle, and Hero Factory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
