What the Heck do you think those guy are that are riding the Pewku & Gukko?

The look like Matorans, but they have Toa arms and all...

-KM-

Um... I have no idea what you're talking about...

The whatu and the whato?

hmmm... I get what you are saying.... Maybe it's part of the storyline? Or maybe lego couldn't get the new sets to work with the Matoran, so they had to modify them?

Actually...the new Tohunga have Bohrok arms...and modified legs (still Tohunga feet though)

They have Toa hip joints for hands and shoulders though.

I personally think it's an interesting move...though I'd like to see how LEGO writes that into the story (if they do at all)

One looks like Jala and one looks like Takua. They are just different arms so they have better moving ability.

Yeah, I'd like to see how they do that!

But maybe, they're just the 3 Matorans, the ones that go on the Quest for the MOL. Then someting happened to them....Maybe...

I agree with King Luvak. They are probably Takua and Jala.

I agree with King Luvak. They are probably Takua and Jala.

But still, Takua has yellow feet.That has blue.And Takua has a red body.That has orange.Same problem with Jala.

I know one's Jala{because of color}And I don't know about the other one.I think Takua.

I think the first one is Jala, but not the blue and orange one. I think he (or she) is a new Matoran, one that we havent ever seen before. They certainly have a very unique design...I don't think they are meant to be anything like the promotional tohunga that came out at Macca's.

Looks like jala nuva. A more powerful version of jala. Cool--too bad he doesn't have a new mask though.

Man,they sure have evolovled fast!What did they do,fall in the Protodermis? Anyway I think its just LEGO modified them to fit the movie better,like the Matoran are SMALL!!So maybe they just made em bigger,*GASP*!!Maybe the Matoran packs are like that!!Highly possible but maybe...

All I know is I'm glad that they are changing the Matorans. Do you know how hard it is to animate Matoran walking?? It's hard the way I do it.

booo hooo hooo

i want the old matorans back

Oh, I hope that Lego sticks with the McToran design... After all, it's been in the comics, updates, MNOLG, BfMN, Bios, McDonalds, even Nuparu in the Boxor is like it! How are they going to put these changes into the story? Imagine...

After the Toa-Nuva rise from the Bahrag's hive, the Matoran find new body elements scattered on the beach...

God, I hope not. Why do they have to do a film? To do it, they have to edit everyone's limbs and everything! So it messes up the story. If it was just for the film it would be alright, but they are reflecting it in the toys aswell.

And that proberbly is meant to be Takua, although he has blue legs.

I agree with bohrok awakener. I really don't think any of the images that we see are making any sense. But still, these aren't set in stone pictures.

Yeah those patorans look weird.and with bohrok arms or so,bu they look cool to

P.S.;they look like my costum matorans just not the bohrok arms
want to see them->go to brickshelf link in my signature

I dont wanna buy matoran with bohrok arms! I hope that these aren't the type of matoran that are going to be in stores this year!

I agree entirely, Makuta Nuva. If they were, I probably wouldn't buy them. But they probably won't be, as they are scheduled to be released before the MoL.

We don't know that the thing riding the Gukko Bird is Jala. In fact, we don't even know that they're Matoran, and I'd be really upset if that was Jala, unless they show the origin of this "Matoran Nuva" thing. Ding! Do we know whether these are Jaller and Hewkii? They could be, and they could be entirely new characters!

Good point, Kahu Rder 13! They could be, as rememeber, the list of Matoran in the MoL is:

Takua
Hahli
Jaller
Hewki
The Koli Commentator (Proberbly)

There might be a few more, but these definately could be Jaller and Hewki. And... hang on, the Takua one might be Jaller, because it's a cross between Jala & Hahli, except it has a Pakari! Jala+Hahli=Jaller? Or Jaller is Jala's big brother or something...

i welcome the new matoran design with open arms

the new design will definatly allow more articulation and playability! And old matoran will be even more collectable (if the rerelease of the matoran are in this form.[it would definatly be more worth it's price]).

btw i like Kahu Rider 13's theirore

Is this gonna be what we're getting in the matoran packs this year?
<pauses>
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

I liked the first Matoran better.

But now they'll have more movement, and new masks.

I agree. I would't start getting to hyped about them, because we don't even know if they are Matoran.

One question, how do we know that aren't just Proto-types?

-KM-

If they come out in the Matoran packs this year, I'll FREAK!! Well, They could be proto types, But if I'm right and they are Matoran, [ Loooooong pause] I'll Still FREAK!!

I welcome the new matorans with a baseball bat....
i dont like em. they looked deformed. and there arms, not right, there legs, not pleasant, there heads, the same.

they are 2 of the 3 tohunga that found the mask of light.....
when they found it they were mutated and got strange powers.
they look kinda like gorilla'z lol

i know that one of them is jala and the other might be takua......
greg says the other may not be released untill the movie and i have heared rumors that it is maku.



anyway i hope you enjoy my info i am working on a bionicle website rightnow and i will try to get more info to put on my site,,,,,,,,


good luck on finding more info on these sets i've tried and it's not very hopeful

Maku? I must say, that I am starting to dislike the idea of a film. Putting Lego toys in a film is not a good idea, Bohrok arms or not.

I JUST THINK I FOUND ANOTHER HINT! Notice that that ctrab is called "Pewku"....sounds like "Puku" the Ussal crab from the MNOLG ! Maybe thats a new version of Puku....Hmmm....plus it looked like Takua ws riding it....the mystery gets larger......

could it be matoran nuva?

I know, they look like a rahi chewed them up and spat them back out

Lewa eat WORLD!, that has been known for some time.

Cant be.


Well, the new design is cool..

What!?!?! The motorans are gonna have Toa arms?

I like the new Matoran design.

Nova's Muse: Now that the shock has worn off! If I may recall, you were highly vocal when you saw the pics...you sounded like a cross between Nuju and a Winnavegas casino!
Nova Nuhvok: CHKT! (shut up!)

Continuing on...yes I like the new design. I am a big fan of posing the figures I have...and the Matoran can't do much of anything. No bendable parts, and the only thing I can do right now is make them run (take one of their feet and put in one of the three holes on their body) make them sit (take two va connectors and friction pegs) and give them colored eyes (snap a Harry Potter wand in two and set a toa/turaga head on that..)

Sure, they could have been a little bit better created, but I'm quite pleased that we'll finally have poseable Matoran at last!

And as for the movie Bohrok Awakener...I'm thinking it'll be ten times better watching that than another movie like 'The Wild Thornberries...' yick!

-*-Nova Nuhvok-*-

I BET IT GOES LIKE THIS.....

1. tohunga
2. (the so called) tohunga-nuva
3. turaga
4. (probaly an up-coming) turaga-nuva
5. toa
6. toa-nuva

EACH DIPPED IN PROTODERMIS TO GET TO THE NEXT LEVEL




THEN THE BOHROK.....

1.bohrok-va
2.bohrok
3.bohrok-kal
4.bahrag




THE OTHER CREATURES ON mata-nui I AM UNSURE OF.

Maybe the people who did the magazine missed the Matoran promotion.

They might just be prototypes, that could be why Takua's legs are the wrong color.
I like the fact that they have the matoran weapons.

Off Topic: was the matoran form the power pack built the same way as the mcdonalds tohunga?
I only saw the set once, and i didn't have the $15 to get it

Yes he was... This represents an entirely new design for Bionicle.

Okay.

There are NO Matoran-Nuva! Protodermis only works for the Toa. (So far..)

If the Matorans fell in Protodermis, they'd probably die!

-KM-

probably new design for the matoran. in the matoran legends, i read that makuta weakened the matoran. maybe they're gaining their lost strength.

That is a great Idea. Maybe the matoran go on a quest, then something strange happens and Takua becomes the toa of light, and... uhh... THEORIE IN PROGRESS

~Ski

the matoran cant be fallen in protodermis bechause the protodermis is in tubes. in the bagrag nest of the bahrags, are the tubes
you see to a picture of the toa mutating to nuva you can read it at www.bionicle.com and then go to the comics online and go to 5 0f 6

I like the new tohounga. Sorry. I like tohounga, no matorn
They proboly did that to fit the sword thing.

hey did you check the latest news cool eh

toa nuva ha my hatu nuva destrois all in the way

Uhhh...Right. I like the new Jala and Takua. They look VERY Poseable.

The new Matoran Look Pretty cool, and i dont mind if they change the Desine at all.
Also Hatu-Nuva Please do not Double Post, Okay?

Jordan

PS what if that isn't Takua, and Pewku is the name of the Matoran, just a thought.
