What are the whispering voices in the background of that video? Any thoughts? Maybe the Great Beings?

Never mind, Lego changed it's mind. http://service.lego.com/en-us/helptopics/products/themes/bionicle/will-bionicle-come-back They have no plans to bring Bionicle back. Also, the fact that that mask looks like a crown is kinda fitting. Remember, Artahka was the ruler of the land of Artahka.

Yes! Greg is on the Story Team! Edit: Phooey, masterchirox580 beat me to it.

Now we need to constantly check the Ask Greg topic on LMB to see if Greg says anything/will be on the story team.

Okay, a little late because I got distracted playing Minecraft. I must say, I accidently went to BZP's main page and saw the news, then went to the announcement page. That video is the first official thing for Bionicle 2015. I'm so happy to have seen it. (having not been a Bionicle fan until 2002, I missed Bionicle's first beginning, but oh well)

So excited was I about today, I either could not sleep, or dreamed about not being able to sleep (hard to tell). I first dreamed that LeGo unveiled a new set, The Chocolate Factory. Then I dreamed LeGo said they were going to revive Bionicle. So, I wonder what time LeGo will make the announcement. Or, everyone at LeGo forgot the password to LeGo's account. (For anyone wondering, it is correct to stylize Lego as LeGo, but no one ever does. That's why I am)

Actually, you can discuss them -- just not on BZP. Also, something I imagined the other day: The Friday Announcement. "We have dropped many hints of the return of Bionicle, from an image on our own website to the name Bionicle in a URL. With most of these himts having been found by clever LEGO fans, we now officially announce the return of Exo-Force." Take a guess which word will not be in the announcement. Just saying, I think Lego is doing some of these things on purpose.... Well, I didn't say Galidor that time.

The countdown has been updated, now with two days left. This image, a little darker, does not have elcinoiB in the URL.

I have the oddest feeling that the Friday announcement is Bionicle, and that has nothing to do with that image's URL. And my odd feelings have never been wrong, with one exception: those who followed the old Rumor topic know what a nay-sayer I was back then. And even then, I shifted my stance days before the discovery of King zartluV. I had wondered when they were going to announce it, since they were not going to announce it at NYCC. (Ask not how I knew that) Also, Kopekemaster pointed out on the old topic that Lego.com had 274 Bionicle instructions. That number has not changed. Also, as I pointed out, on Lego.com, there is a page on the FaQ where they say they are not planning to bring back Bionicle. It is still there. I shan't be surprised if it's there when Bionicle sets are in stores.

And as I said there: The word Bionicle in that image's URL is probably either an accident, or just the first thing they came up with when naming that image, or Lego messing with our heads. Yeah. And the leaked images are fake/not Bionicle. And the image on Lego.com is fake/not Bionicle. And the 'Coming Soon' message was an error in site reorganizing. And the.......

Wow. Now people on LMB are asking Greg his opinion on the new storyline. They're not only jumping to the conclusion there is a new storyline (hardly an amoeba's jump at this point), but they're asking him about it. I guess, if Lego confirmed they were brining back Bionicle, he maybe could give his opinion, but not yet. Speaking of, I showed this topic to my older sister today. The first thing she asked was why Lego hasn't said anything. After all, 2015's only 3 months away. Er, 109 days, 2 hours, 16 minutes, and 30 seconds, in my time zone.

This is the review topic for my story, Bionicle: The Legacy Hero Bionicle: The Legacy Hero Edit: Chapter two is up: The Story gets interesting.

This is the first chapter. Quite frankly, it's not as good as later parts, but I've done my best to do a rewrite and improve on it. Chapter 1: Fall of the Toa Part 1 Introduction Neuriz watched as Toa Balta hurled a fireball. As the deadly red and orange sphere flew toward its target, a Skakdi holding a spear, Toa Defilak suddenly turned and used his own power, launching a blast of air. The blast caught the fireball in midair and changed its direction, and it hit another, powerful looking Skakdi holding a scythe. The fireball exploded, but the fireproof Skakdi statue was not damaged. The two Toa were practicing against Skakdi Statues, not real Skakdi, thought they might face real Skakdi in the future. "Wow," said Neuriz, a Su-Matoran born on Spherus Magna, who was observing the Toa training exercise. "Someday, I want to be a Toa so I can be a hero like you guys." Hearing the comment, Turaga Kopaka, once one of the noble Toa Nuva, walked up. "You don't have to be a Toa to be a hero, you know." "How would you know?" The Su-Matoran asked. "You were always a Toa. Well, until you became a Turaga, anyway. You were born a Toa. Besides," he added, "Toa have elemental and mask powers." Hearing the conversation, Balta walked up. "I wasn't always a Toa, though," he said. "Back when I was a Matoran, I once lived on an island called Voya Nui. We didn't have a Toa. When the Piraka invaded, searching for the Mask of Life, they enslaved all of the Matoran but six of us. We had to fight them ourselves. Then the Toa Nuva arrived." Balta nodded toward Kopaka. "They faced the Piraka, and were utterly defeated--twice. It took the Toa Inika to stop the Piraka, and even they could not defeat them." Neuriz looked at Kopaka. "You... were defeated?" "Toa are not infallible, Neuriz," the Turaga Nuva said. "But still, it took Toa to defeat the Piraka," said Neuriz. Balta sighed. "I think you should talk to Solek," he said. "Ask him about the Great Fall." As Neuriz ran off, Kopaka said, "Is that wise?" "He needs to know," said Balta. "You should know what happens when Turaga keep secrets from the Matoran. Besides, someone’s bound to tell him sooner or later." Kopaka nodded. "Our Turaga did keep secrets from us, back on Mata Nui," he said. "But their secrets were not as dangerous as ours." Neuriz found Solek in his home in Av-Kara. The Av-Matoran was working on constructing a Kanoka Disk Launcher. He looked up when Neuriz entered. "Greetings, Neuriz," he said. Neuriz looked at the launcher Solek was building, and wondered what it could be for, but he didn't ask. Instead, he said, "Balta said I should ask you about the Great Fall." Solek stopped working and looked straight at the Matoran. "Are you sure?" "Positive," he said. "All right," Solek said. "I think we should go to the Amaja circle. That's where the Turaga tell their stories." Long ago... Axxon, powerful member of the Order of Mata Nui, slammed his axe against the chains. He expected them to shatter. Instead, Axxon found himself thrown backwards. He slammed against the wall. The chained Great Being, who had introduced himself as Colin, laughed. "I could have told you that would happen." Vezon, an insane half-Skakdi, had used the Olmak fused into him to bring the Order of Mata Nui members Axxon, Brutaka, and Helryx, the Makuta Miserix, the Toa Lewa and Tuyet, the Matoran Hafu and Kapura, and the mysterious being Artahka from the void of space(where they had been teleported by Teridax) to this tower on Bota Magna, and asked them to help free the Great Being. According to him, the Great Being had been chained here by his brethren after the Mask of Life had given him the ability to bring everything around him to life, which had driven him slightly mad. After a debate, during which Lewa had flown off, the beings had decided to free the Great Being. Unfortunately, that was easier said than done, as Axxon had just found out. "How do we break them, then?" Helryx, the leader of the Order of Mata Nui, asked. Colin started laughing again. "If I knew that, would I still be here?" Brutaka walked up and observed the chains. "We know how we can break them, but it won't be easy." After a recent encounter with Antidermis, Brutaka seemed to know strange things, and had started referring to himself as 'we'. "We need six different elements." "We only have water," said Hafu. He was referring to Tuyet and Helryx, who were both Toa of Water. "Hafu and Kapura can provide the Fire and Stone," said Brutaka. "They do not need to be Toa. Our sword can provide electricity." Brutaka's sword, a gift to him from Axxon, could deliver an electric shock. "Miserix can use one of his elemental powers, and Artahka can make something that will give us a sixth element." "Why can't Miserix just use two of his powers?" asked Helryx. Brutaka shook his head. "The elements need to be from six separate beings." After a few minutes of preparation, the group was ready. Helryx, not trusting Tuyet, grabbed the chain, followed by Kapura, Hafu, and Miserix, who had decided to use his Plasma power. Artahka touched his newly built gravity staff to the chains, and Brutaka touched his sword to them. "As one," said Helryx. "Ready, set, now!" All six beings focused, as Brutaka and Artahka focused their weapons. Hafu, Kapura, and Helryx could feel the electric shock from Brutaka's sword, and fought hard not to let go. Fortunately, the shock was diminished from having travelled through the chain. Hafu expected a bright flash, or maybe a small explosion that would throw them back, like what had happened to Axxon. Instead, the chains simply vaporized. Down below, a Great Being was preparing to destroy the tower and the beings inside, as a part of his plan to eliminate the most powerful beings. Suddenly, there was a rumble. The Great Being panicked and backed away from the tower. Something was going wrong. Up in the tower, Colin stood up for the first time in centuries. "I am free at last!" he said. "Now, finally, I can--" Unfortunately, before Colin could finish, there was a large rumble. Before anyone could react, the tower began collapsing around them. The Great Being took off running. The destruction wasn't perfect, and there was a chance the inhabitants would survive. Velika did not want to be around if that happened, especially if the survivors included Colin. Even though he was an Onu-Matoran, Taipu loved the jungle. It was a peaceful place, and beautiful. He had often missed the jungle on Le-Wahi. Now, wandering through Bota Magna, he felt almost as if he had gone back to the island of Mata Nui. He didn't even worry about getting lost. At least, the jungle was peaceful until there was a loud rumble. Curious, Taipu went to investigate. He didn't find the source. Instead, he found a large beast, resembling a wolf. The wolf growled, and Taipu started running away. Hafu got up, pushing the rubble off of him. That hurt. He saw Kapura nearby, also digging himself out. Several other inhabitants were nearby, half-buried in rubble. Of Colin, there was no sign. "Did we do that?" said Kapura. Hafu shook his head. "I don't think so. It looks like someone sabotaged the tower." Before Hafu and Kapura could wonder who that might have been, they heard footsteps nearby. A moment later, Taipu ran out of the jungle, followed by a pack of wild wolves. "Hafu! Kapura!" He said. "It's so great to see you guys again! Now can we please get out of here?" Reluctantly, Hafu and Kapura joined Taipu. Eventually, the three of them lost the wolf, and rendezvoused with Taipu's friend Solek. The four of them searched the jungle, but they were unable to find the remains of the tower. "I hope the others survived," said Kapura. "I agree," said Hafu. As Colin walked through the jungle, he began contemplating his plan. Now that he was free, he had found out from a Skakdi that Mata Nui had completed his mission, and had reformed the shattered planet of Spherus Magna. Unfortunately, that meant that the Toa were now loose on Spherus Magna. Colin wondered whether Marendar, the being created to destroy Toa in case of a Toa revolution, had been released. A short time later, he found out as he found Marendar. The powerful being had not yet killed any Toa. Colin wondered if Marendar had been released or had simply escaped, but it didn't matter. It wasn't too difficult to destroy Marendar, and Colin took from him the device used to incapacitate Toa. Colin's plan was simple. All Toa had to be stopped. They were too powerful. Fortunately, according to the Skakdi Colin had spoken to, the Makuta, more powerful than Toa, had already been killed, except for Miserix. And he may have been killed in the tower's collapse, though Colin doubted it. Now all Colin needed was some way to amplify the device's power. Someday, he knew, the other Great Beings would thank him. The Spikit was unhappy. It had not been fed, and it was looking for food. Right now, its eyes were on a Ga-Matoran named Vhisola. Then, Toa Gali leapt between the two. She fired a blast of water, hitting the Spikit and stunning it. "Thank you, Gali," said Vhisola. Gali opened her mouth to respond. Suddenly, the Toa of Water collapsed, crying out. "Gali?!" said Vhisola. "Toa Gali!" As Balta watched, the stone lifted toward the wall. Building the new villages was much easier having Toa of Stone around. Right now, the Toa lifting the stone was Toa Pouks, one of the Toa Hagah. Suddenly, Pouks grunted, and the stone fell. Pouks tried to lift it again, but it didn't budge. Every time he tried to use his power, it hurt. He sat down. "Toa Pouks?" said Balta. "Are you all right?" "Yeah," he said. "I guess I'm just... tired." It came suddenly. Toa everywhere lost their powers, and grew weaker. No one could figure out what had caused it. Some Toa were affected more than others. The Turaga were puzzled. Some Matoran believed it was a plague, like the dreaming plague that had struck the Iron Tribe Agori and Glatorian so long ago. Others suspected that the Agori or Glatorian were somehow behind it, and some suspected it was something on Spherus Magna that was causing it. Hafu and Kapura, however, began to suspect a different explanation. "Could it be the Great Being?" Hafu said to Kapura, Taipu, and Solek one day. "They... made the Toa. Surely they know how to... shut them down or something." "Then he must be stopped," said Solek. "How?" said Kapura. "The Toa are powerless." "You don't need to be a Toa to be a hero," said Solek. At first, Hafu and Kapura had rejected the idea. Perhaps the Toa would get better, they believed. Then minor threats such as individual Skakdi or rogue former Dark Hunters became major threats. With no Toa to stop them, these beings ran rampant. Order of Mata Nui members did their best, since none of them were Toa (save for a Toa of Sound named Krakua), but they had mixed success at best. After a Skakdi destroyed the construction area of Av-Kara, Solek met with Hafu, Kapura, and Taipu again. "That does it," he said. "That Great Being needs to be stopped." "How?" said Hafu. "We don't even know where he is." "When you wish to get rid of a sea spider, the best weapon is another sea spider." All four Matoran turned to see Velika approach. Solek knew the Po-Matoran from Kopaka's stories. He was one of the Matoran from Voya Nui. He was a mysterious being, who always spoke in riddles. "What do you mean?" he asked. For the first time in a long time, Velika spoke normally. "I, too, am a Great Being. I was placed in the Matoran Universe as an... observer. Now, I see that Colin, whom my brethren chained so long ago, is loose. He must be stopped. And I may know how to find him." Velika had his own reasons for wanting to help the Matoran. He had his own plan, and it did not involve the incapacitation of the Toa. Colin had to be stopped. If that meant Velika had to reveal who he was prematurely, so be it. As for him being placed in the Matoran Universe as an observer, that wasn't exactly true. He had transferred into Velika's body of his own free will, unknown to the other Great Beings. However, the Matoran did not need to know that. Naturally, the Matoran were shocked. Velika did not answer their questions, and made them promise not to tell anyone else. All four Matoran agreed. The plan was soon made. After gathering sufficient Kanoka disk launchers, Cordak Blasters, and other tools, Solek, Hafu, Taipu, Kapura, and Velika were prepared to set out. Originally, it was going to be just the five of them, but a Ga-Matoran named Macku, an old friend of Hafu, Taipu, and Kapura, had found out what they planned and had insisted on coming. Solek had at first refused, but Macku's friends had insisted, and finally, Solek relented. "We don't tell her about Velika, though," said Solek. "The fewer people who know that, the better."

Discovered something: the teleporter only inhibits flight if you fly crooked. You can escape if you fly straight up after entering the gravity well.

To quote BS01, So, yes, a Mohtrek does work that way. Well, kinda, anyway. And if my ideas were confusing, it was mostly just because I made stuff up as I went along. No two ideas were inherently connected, I just tossed ideas around for how Lego could make Bionicle better (or worse, depending on your view) -- no mono-gender tribes, different mono-gender tribes, Matoran being different. And, yeah, you're right, Lego probably won't do that (though Greg might in a serial) but it was partly a headcanon idea. Actually, if it's a reboot, maybe Greg will make a serial like that. A nod to the old fans, but not necessary to understand the new story. If it does turn out to be a reboot, maybe someone could suggest that to Greg. BTW: I did not bring up that idea because I used it in a fanfic. More like, halfway through that paragraph, I remembered I had a fanfic once like that.

Bizarre. I played the Mangaia map, defeated Makuta, and then flew back out to Kini-Nui just fine(and proceeded to die by flying off the edge of the map). Does the one-way gravity well only work until you defeat Makuta, or am I just magic? Actually, if it only prevents escape until you defeat Makuta, you can say Makuta's trapping you in his lair.

People have been discussing whether it will be a reboot or a continuation. Why not both? I just had a thought. Let's say that the Great Beings design a Mask SM inhabitants can use. Among the many masks they design, one is the Mohtrek. For some reason, some old SM inhabitant, maybe Tuma, uses the mask. A past version of Tuma is killed, and the future is completely rewritten, because, in the past, Tuma saved the Great Being now possessing Velika, and that Great Being now dies, and he doesn't contribute all of his ideas to the MU. The Great Beings stop the Shattering, and Tahu and his group remain on SM, where they encounter... well, you know. Bingo, you have a reboot AND a continuation. It doesn't have to be exactly like that, but, if it is a reboot, we can always say later that's what happened, even if Lego never does. In fact, it just so happens I have a fanfic where this very thing kinda happens. Think of it. We could change everything. Maybe the whole one-gender tribes thing was all that Great Being's idea. Maybe the GB's make Le-Matoran all female. Maybe the GSR crashes on a completely unknown planet, home of... well, you know. Maybe Lewa is now a Toa of Jungle or something. Takua dies while building the GSR, and the Great Beings completely rethink their Matoran design. The possibilities are endless.

Here: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/14566-bionicle-fandom-name/#entry733391 I officially support a Bionicle Fandom name.

Someone in The Topic about Bionicle's confirmed return suggested making a topic for a name for Bionicle's fandom. Here are some of the suggestions that came up over there: Chroniclers Koronans BFOL (Bionicle fans of Lego) Nuians BF (Bionicle fan) Bionicult Bionicles There were more, but I couldn't remember them all. Any other suggestions? ~W.12.~

honestly ambivalent. Having something to identify with is nice, but I'm just fine with Bionicle fan. Yet I see nothing wrong with a name for the fandom(I like Chroniclers, but maybe it's too generic?). I'd probably never use it, but that's just because I avoid bandwagons for some reason. I'm weird like that.

we shouldn't bother making spinnies or sprites of this mask, because, at the current angle, it's impossible to tell if it has five points or six. Or if it has something else on the back.

With Bionicle pretty much confirmed for 2015, what happens to this contest? If it's a reboot, nothing, but what if it's a continuation? Or they remove parts of the original Bionicle story, like the serials?

""At the very end of the old Bionicle, it was revealed that the Mask of Life was controlling everything, pulling all the stings. Boy, I'm glad they didn't carry that over into the new one. Now Vultraz is pulling the stings.""
