[Bionicle Comic Regional Variations]

I wish I had something to share, but unfortunately these comics never came to South America 

[We need soundtracks and concept art from Hero Factory]

DuckBricks and Faber heard ya 

[what does lego think about bionicle? (warning: long)]

Visorak definitely deserve to be at #1. They were created solely for destruction and murder.

[G1 should have been a TV series]

As a kid I never liked reading and lots of comics and books weren't available in my country, so having a TV series would be perfect indeed.

[Did Vakama know Takua was the 7th Toa?]

Just a random thought that crossed my mind, since Vakama is known for having visions way late into his life as a Turaga.

So I was wandering if he knew Takua would turn into Takanuva, but decided to keep it a secret so Takua could find the truth in his own.

[How did they acknowledge the coming of the Toa (Mata) on Mata Nui?]

No doubt it was Vakama's visions. He prophetized the coming of the Bohrok and Rahkshi, and most likely knew Takua would turn into Takanuva.

[Does someone know the name of the original Bionicle narrator from 2001 to 2005?]

Before Tony Wedgwood took over the role as Bionicle Narrator, this guy did a couple of Bionicle commercials and teasers, like BIONICLE 2001 Teaser, Bohrok Commercial, Rahkshi Commercial, Vahki Commercial, Hordika Commercial, and many, many more.

I was just wondering if someone knows this guy's name, because unfortunately I can't find it anywhere.

[The Art of Bionicle]

It's amazing how what we actually got doesn't even remotely look like this. What wasted potential.

[Does Killing Zyglak Count as Breaking Toa Code?]

The question is: Are Toa strong enough to even hurt or defeat Zyglak, I don't think so

[Why other beings are "affraid" of killing Matoran?]

This is something I've noticed more in the years 2006 and 2007. Like, Makuta could have easily killed Matoran or Toa on Mata Nui but he never did (not directly), and the Piraka, instead of Killing Matoran that were disobedient, enslaved them with Antidermis. Barraki also were reluctant in killing Dekar when he refused to handle the Mask of Life to them.

[Why they're all clones?]

I know that the real world reason for them to be clone sets was because of the building system - They didn't want to spend money on making everyone too different.

 

But what was the explanition in-universe? Like, why all the Toa Metru have the same exact armor? Why the matoran of metru nui all look the same? And all Toa Nuva look the same? etc

[Set Review: 70791 Skull Warrior]

This may look like a dumb question, but does his mask is supposed to be a mask or is supposed to represent his decomposing and dead face?

[Set Review: 70794 Skull Scorpio]

I wonder if he really has that humanoid head beneath the mask in-story. Cause that would be a bit strange

Actually, I wonder if that mask is an actual mask or supposed to represent his face

[Was Tahu(Master) based on Lhikan?]

You know I thought the only influence from Lhikan on Tahu G2 was his blade and the combining function of it.

 

But the more I look it, I totally see a Lhikan on it.

 

Look at the mask of fire for exemple. It has only two holes like lhikan's Hau and a big mouth. The golden chest was also gold on lhikan, albeit smaller. 

 

The golden pauldron on Tahu also really reminds of the ones in Lhikan. And the golden tight cover on Tahu was also gold on Lhikan.

 

The only part that does not look like Lhikan are the feet and hands, obviously. But every color Lhikan had, Tahu has too in the same spots as him(pretend he has the golden mask of fire on him). If Tahu was dark red instead of clear red, I think he would be a 100% Lhikan but in G2.

[Crystals and Temples ?]

 

I don't consider some bits of MNOG 2 canon, the Temples and Crystals being one of them. And I don't think the game was ever approved by  the Story Team, unlike MNOG 1

 

And by the way, that "formula" thing Nixie said. That doesn't make a single sense

Actually it makes 2.97 senses.

 

*ahem* Why doesn't it make sense? (I don't really know much about it, but curious whatcha mean. )

 

I don't quite remember but it has something to do with the number of toa plus makuta or something multiplied by the number of turaga, that gives the coordenates to the temple of water.

 

 

Erm, wasn't Faber's stuff just concept work that didn't make it into the final Bionicle?

It could be true, but since it's listed as underwater in the official map, then it must indeed be underwater and built by the Matoran and/or Turaga.

 

 

True. I wonder how the Matoran built that. Keep in mind, though, that this is Ga-Kini, and what we're discussing is the Temple of Purity, which (as far as we know) are two completely different things.

 

I'm fully aware of this, but this means that if they could build Ga-Kini underwater, then they shouldn't have much trouble building an underwater kolhii temple.

[Crystals and Temples ?]

I just remember that Gali's temple is underwater.(the map and this pic by faber supports this). So the Ga-Matoran are indeed capable of building an underwater temple.

[What you don't like in G2 ?]

 

It seems to me that most of the opinions on G2 topics, or CCBS topics, fall into three categories:

1. People like the new. They see some flaws, but are overall pleased because Gen2 and CCBS have fixed many of Gen1's problems.

2. People are neutral. They don't think gen2 has been going on long enough to be making many judgements.

3. People hate Gen2 and CCBS. They seem to think that Gen1 was perfect and that it should have been either continued, or followed more closely in the reboot. In addition it seems that many of their opinions are not founded, and they don't admit their wrong when someone shows them how they're incorrect or too quick to judge.

 

But, their not wrong. Skeleball is in every way a drop from the classic system.

 

And G2s story is stupidly simple.

Decepticonwarrior, do you ever actually listen to things people tell you when they are defending CCBS and Gen2? I feel like if you did,you would understand the points we make: that CCBS, or "Skeleball", as you insist on calling it, is, in many ways, better than the classic system. The pieces are no longer brittle and breakable. They are far more resistant to dust-collection. The pieces aren't "simple", but rather unspecialized, so multiple lines (Hero Factory, Chima, Bionicle, Star Wars, and even Super Heroes for a time) can use it.

 

As for the story, it's geared towards children! 6 to 14. The story needs to appeal to children in that range, which it does! My little cousin is 6, and he loves Bionicle. The sets are great, story is great, to him. If LEGO produced a story that was more complicated, more complex, children would not enjoy it as much, and there would suddenly be less demand for the sets.

 

Also, there seems to be one thing that you refuse to accept. The animations are just 15 minutes, and made to draw people into the story. They aren't the ultimate, end-all medium that will convey every aspect of the story. That's what the books are for! One of them is coming in August, and thank God, because hopefully it will keep you quiet. That's where the more complex details of the story will come in. Y'know, maybe you didn't know this, but the first gen1 book came out in 2003! There were two years where comics, MNOG, and the Bohrok animations were the only story we got. Yeah, yeah, MNOG was all that. Yes, I get it. I love the game too, but it still wasn't everything. The books were what finally made the story more fleshed-out and interesting.

 

 

 

 

Basically:

Cool sets

Horrible story

So far, the story seems so, but I don't understand why everyone is so quick to judge.

You're right. Let me reformulate my statement:

 

The way the story is being presented to us is currently horrible.

Like I just said above, wait for the books. Really, that's where everything is going to come into place, more so than the 15 minutes worth of video we have now.

 

I hope so, because honestly, I don't even more consider these dumb animations to be canon.

[What happened to the copies of BIONICLE: Legend of mata nui?]

Technically untrue. There could be many things standing between us and a copy of the game (not counting the non-existent legal issues )

 

Could you exemplify ?

 

I contacted Red Quark and he hinted that there may be new videos in the future, for what it's worth.

 

I find this odd. Why would he wait 4 years to make new videos ?

[That 2001 poster was a hint]

(EDIT: whoops, I accidentally used Mask Of Light preliminar poster, but 2001 one was pretty similiar  to this one)

 

I'm probably going captain obvious here but I don't care, anyway

 

 

Dude I just  realized that this image released back in 2001 was a (another) hint that there was a giant robot beneath the Island

 

I mean, Hau is the symbol of MN and in the image theres a Hau that looks like its beneath the Island so yeah

 

And it being infected means not only that Makuta "dominates" the Island" but means that the robot beneath it is all rusted and old, like Mata Nui was when he awoke. And look its eyes are exactly where MN eyes were.

 

I JUST REALISED THIS AFTER ALL THOSE YEARS THAT THIS WAS A HINT sorry I just wanted to tell someone, you may continue what you were doing.

[G2 masks]

I'm kinda lost in the new reboot. Are the Toa's regular masks powerless ? I say this because they never used them in the animations. And what the Golden mask do ? I guess it's the golden masks that gives them their elemental powers ? Tahu was even able to control Lava when he put his.

[Have someone guessed the Big Robot back in the day ?]

I want to know if someone here have guessed, or knows someone who guessed, or maybe made a theory that the MU was inside something bigger.

 

As for me, the ~closest~ I got was suspecting the twin suns in Metru Nui looked like someone's eyes, but I never imagined that it would indeed be a robot.

[Why there's no air Bohrok ?]

This always bugged me.
