I'm pretty sure that most have noticed how every Bionicle saga has ended the same. The Toa always just pool their powers together in one all-powerful blast to destroy the master villain. Of course there's a little variety. The first time they pooled their powers together and blasted Makuta away, the second time they pooled them together to form a protodermic cage, the third time they pooled their powers together to flood the Kal's power levels and send it against them. The overall idea is pretty much the same.

So why does nothing different happen? Why can't they have something new like, for example, one single Toa taking a lonely stand or something? Post your comments.

Edit: In case there's been a certain misunderstanding, I'd like to make one thing clear. I'm not saying that I don't like the Bionicle storyline. I like it just fine. I'm just saying that it could get better...

-<)->Tovnu<-(>-

Wait till next year.

And with that, Rich adds another nail to coffin of the insanity of the members....

If next year is as good as its been hyped, I'm really excited!

To BR:I hate it when you post these kind of posts
To Tovnu: Good point, but like BR( ) said, maybe something will happen next year. I hope so.

Ooooohhh! B-Rex knows something, and my bet is it's gonna be big! Okay then, till next year it is...

-<)->Tovnu<-(>-

Well... I don't know if the defeat of the Kal was a pooling... really, they just gave their powers to each individual corresponding Kal and annihalated them.

So BR... oh nevermind, you won't tell us even if you know, or TLC may do something...

I think that Rich's right, because 2004 is mostly a flashback, and in the before time Makuta sleeps Mata Nui, and the Toa aren't there. So 2004 will be different.

-rah

i agree with Kopeke, they didn't actually combine their powers, they just used their power overload at the same time

I like the way thay have Bionicle just fine but thats what I think

Cool i cant wait too see what is going to be here next year

BR Always with the little hints. Driving us mad.


They always pool their powers, becasue if lego makes one more important then the others then people will get angry.

BR is surley right about it, perhaps

Yes we just have to wait till next year. It will be better, and trust me I know what you mean. Its like that with every story, always the same ending. Good always wins, no matter what.

The reason they do it, is because they don't like violence. So they don't have any real fighting.

heh, with BR's cryptic message, now I AM scared...

maybe the Turaga form their powers together to capture Kraata... nah, they catch 'em seperately

I think making one Toa make a lonely stand would be fine to fans, as long as every Toa got his/her chance to do so. And even so, have you noticed how much more attention Tahu and Kopaka get than the other Toa? No one seems to mind. I personally am an Onua fan (sometimes I'm a Kopaka fan, depends what mood I'm in) and I'm fine with each Toa's individual fame status.

next year ha??????????????/ no you cant just do that it makes people insane like with the takanuva photo

I agree that they really didn't pool thier energies for the Kal, it was more an idividual thing.

And man BR haha you just love to antagonize and play with our little brains that are twitching in anticipation, don't you?

Whoa BR you can't help but do that to us can you?

Another one of thse posts, gotta love that!
But we have to wait a while to see some new plots which as B-Rex said, next year we will..

Yah, LOL. I think you're hiding something, BR.

But anway, in the MoL movie, isn't Takanuva gonna fight Makuta alone? I'm not sure about that, but I think he does.

Not another hint to drive us insane!?!?

Maybe the truaga will join the toa and takanuva too maybe...which leads to the next question, What happens when takanuva joins them?

Cool a new hint. I hope Mata Nui will wake up then. Can't wait!!

Mike

mata nui won t wake up ... i think
of topic: yeah proud 2 be a belgain

QUOTE (Mike G. @ Aug 24 2003, 05:01 PM)

Cool a new hint. I hope Mata Nui will wake up then. Can't wait!! Mike

Mata-Nui waking up? Nah.... Doubt it.... Then the Toa would have no further reason to be on Mata-Nui (the island) and the saga would basically be over! Unless Lego pulled out some tricked-out storyline twist which brought along another major evil entity and the Toa got to stay and fight on! That would be great..... but.... not likely, unfortunately.

Oh, and back to the topic at hand, ya, it kinda looks that way. I mean, at least Lego is trying to put in some variety! Remember when the Toa Nuva were defeated by the Bohrok Kal? That's when Lego tried to incorporate some variety. But of course, good must always win because evil is.... well.... bad.

it isn't actually the same but kinda and remeber this 6 heroes one destiny so the they are meant to focus on one thing and besides in comic 13 it is going to be kopaka vs all rahkshi and what till next year hyped up on what what don't i know

No real fighting?
Eh?
Get the comic books...Onua has chainsaws! Chainsaws, I say! GYAH-HAHAHAHAHAHAAAHH!!
...
Quakebreakers...
Um...well, I hope it's something good. Like the Kaita...again. Or something else, maybe? Next year? Wait...that's -after- Makuta and Takanuva and Takutanuva...Hm...
Ooh, I know!
It'll involve Takanuva.

...Duh.

Sorry, I just woke up from my nap (in front of the TV) and this is just a constructive way of letting my stored energy out.

Yes, and I don't like it! I want Pohatu to get more attention than just as a hunchback. Or maybe Lewa. Some variety would be nice.

Moving to Theories...

I'd like to see the Toas beat them in the Kaita forms. They never did and it was a pity.
Or each Toa should fight for a part of the foe. (legs, arms, body, head)

that mgiht work, but would't the enemy be like a godzilla , or do you mean that he/she can split it's body
it still a good idea
Tahu and Kopaka are rivals, Lego gives them a bit more attention to make their rivalry clearer, i think

its like a fighting tecnique isn't it, any way it is just the way they defeat the enemies, the toa are united sothey use their powers united!

Yeah!
Lets see the toa put tose weapons to a use! I wanna see sword fights man! I mean, enough with the elemental stuff.

Yes, the first three sagas ended almost the same. But I do expect differences this time. I think this saga is going to be very interesting.

Well, they are like super heroes so they almost always do the same thing.

Well if the 2004 storyline will be different than just big power combiners, I certainly will like next near.

-

If its been the same ending for almost three years then well, what could they do diffenet if they couldn`t do it in the three years bionicle has almost been going for ?

It's just how you look at it. The three ways of the defeat were different anyway.
Well, we'll just have to wait what 2004 will bring for us.

BR is making me crazy!

Anyway, the toa also collected stuff every saga. Makuta: Kanohi, Bohrok: Krana, Kal: Krana Kal and Kanohi Nuva. I guess that parts just to boost collectible sales, but I haven't completed one collection yet.

Maybe they will go into not Kaita forms but a Kaita form. A six toa Kaita. That would be cool!

Lerahk: HELP!!! THERE IS A GIANT 30 FOOT TALL RED, BLUE, WHITE, BLACK, BROWN AND GREEN MONSTER CHASING ME!!!
Super Kaita: Gali! This foot is supposed to forward!
Gali: Sorry Onua!

Believe me, we have heard what you are saying... that is part of the reason we are making the radical changes we are for next year. Basically, we feel we have told what story we can tell in the setting of Mata Nui, and given as much background as we could. We felt it was time to start answering some of the questions we have posed in the last three years, and tell a story with more depth, more character development, and more complexity. So that is the plan for 2004-2005...

I can tell you that the product plans for the next couple years are all-new characters -- we are not going to do "Rahkshi Nuva" or "Bohrok-Kal-Kal" or something like that. New Matoran, new bad guys, new, new, new, as much as we possibly can. We're taking you to a new place, with new dangers, new challenges, and I think a somewhat darker feel to it.

Anyway, I think it will be worth your wait. I know I am probably more excited about the next couple years than I have been about any year of BIONICLE.

The few that have and read the MoL book know.It might be different.

A new place, eh? Sounds cool! Perhaps we'll see where the "Great Beings" live, or how the Bahrag came to be?

I dont think so Tovnu, because in the first they all just attacked him with every bit of power they had, and the Kal they just channeled their energy.

That's crazy! I wonder what will happen next year! But... we can't go psycho wondering what will happen... after all, it won't come any quicker!

~Minun

We really don't even need to wait for next year; we know it willl be takanuva against makuta alone.

Hey I never noticed that till now hmmmm. oh GregF posted, next year new place, new villans, new matoran eventually to come I'm so excited for next year!!!!!

Well, we'll just have to wait till next year. And BR is right, it's gonna be a totally different Storyline in 2004. It's gonna be one huge flashback. Kinda spooky, ain't it?? Oh well. I'm looking forword to it!

theyre gonna probably end up using taka nuva and the mask of light to fin the series

Just wait til next year, something is bound to happen........but I agree, the storyline is really annoying.
