Kulta, the Skull Grinder, last line of defence against the awakening of Ekimu, undying skeleton, and the first ever Master of Fire. Kulta is not cursed with undeath. It's quite the opposite. Kulta is willingly undying, because if he died, then there would be last line of defence against the awakening of Ekimu, whose tomb he guards. Should any indication of anyone seeking to awaken Ekimu come to his knowledge, he is directed to destroy the Mask of Creation, to lessen Ekimu's power if he does get awakened Kulta does all this at the behest of Makuta, the other Mask Maker... one of the other five Mask Makers, and one of the only two still living... but cursed by Ekimu to be an unmoving constellation in the sky above the ancient city, unable to move, only watch what goes on down below. Because Ekimu is not a benevolent master. Ekimu is very much the opposite. Which is very much a problem. Many, many years ago on Okoto, there were six mask makers... one for each element. Fire, Water, Jungle, Ice, Earth, Stone. Of those six, only the Mask Maker of Ice and Mask Maker of Earth still live... Ekimu and Makuta. The other four Mask Makers, who no longer live, were known as Artakha, Karzahni, Lhikan, and Helryx. They were the Mask Makers of Stone, Jungle, Fire, and Water, respectively. How did they die? Well... it's a long story. To put it short... Artakha and Karzahni would often quarrel. Ekimu took advantage of this and encouraged them to go too far. That was the end of both. Makuta learned about this, being the only other witness, but was willing to keep quiet and give Ekimu a second chance. Unfortunately, this did not stop Ekimu. The eldest of the Mask Makers, Lhikan, would accidentally stumble into the then-not-ancient Forge in what would later become the Ancient City. Lhikan heard more than he should, and in a hurry, attempted to summon the first set of Masters, but to no avail. Lhikan's age meant that he could not be quick enough to do so, and later the same day Ekimu had a new piece of armour. As for Helryx... Ekimu grew overconfident, as Makuta became more suspicious of Ekimu, suspecting that Ekimu had lost his second chance due to the disappearance of Lhikan. Ekimu attempted to discretely destroy Helryx, but was too loud, resulting in a battle between two Mask Makers, of which neither won as both were badly injured. Helryx managed to crawl away, and managed to summon the first set of Masters surprisingly easily - as Lhikan had already commenced the summoning but never finished it... of course, that meant complications for the summoning. So, the summoning of: Kulta, Master of Fire; Slicer, Master of Jungle; and Basher, Master of Earth, was complete. Which was odd - those were only half the Masters summoned. Perhaps only three came due to the staggered nature of the summoning. Regardless - these three Masters swore to protect Okoto and its inhabitants, and fight against anyone with ill intentions. Helryx did not live long thanks to the wounds she gained in the battle with Ekimu - her lifespan was greatly lessened. This left only Makuta and Ekimu as Mask Makers. With the majority of the Mask Makers taken care of, Ekimu could finally start producing masks for everyone - and he was a better mask maker than Makuta, unfortunately for all the good in the world. This allowed him to create masks that would make all who wore them see Ekimu as a great figure, a figure to be worshipped, almost. At this point, Makuta had to do something. Makuta started to formulate a plan. Ekimu was far more powerful than Makuta at this point - Ekimu had two armies, one of Okoto's inhabitants, now mostly wearing his masks, a much better fighting ability, and the ability to create whatever with his Mask of Creation - such as an army of Ice Warriors, which was his other army.. Makuta had to create a Mask of Ultimate Power -even if it was against the arbitrary rules set by Ekimu. Before doing so, Makuta confided in the three Masters and told them his plan, the evils of Ekimu, and what they would have to do after the Mask of Ultimate Power had been used. So, Makuta forged three different masks, but all with the same power: Masks of Eternity. These would allow the Masters to persist long beyond their natural lifespan... in fact, they could never die. Kulta had also managed to amass an army of pet Scorpios - Kulta loved scorpios, so he had Makuta create masks of eternity for them, as well. But, for Makuta's plan, an army of Scorpios and three Masters would not be enough. They needed something akin to an army. Like Ekimu's Ice army - which could not be hijacked unless a being of Ultimate Power attempted to do so, as Ekimu's Ice Warriors were just animated blocks of ice resembling skeletons - very single minded things, only directed to protect Ekimu. And so, Makuta created the Mask of Ultimate Power. Ekimu viewed this as jealousy - it was not. It was a desperate plan to stop Ekimu once and for all. Wielding the Mask of Ultimate Power, Makuta attempted to suck the life force out of Ekimu, and a battle ensued. Ekimu, however, created a curse - a curse that would leave Makuta as an unmoving constellation in the sky, only able to watch. With the last moments he had in his current form, Makuta wrestled control of the Ice Warriors and directed them to 'protect' Ekimu... by never letting anyone reach him, as Ekimu was now almost lifeless, and fell to the ground, permanently unconscious. The Protectors braved the Ancient City to put Ekimu in his tomb, thinking it was a fitting place for Ekimu as Kulta, Basher, and Slicer hid in the shadows, watching. Once the Protectors had left the city, they decided to block off all but one entrance into the city, and assume positions in the Ancient City, with Kulta as the last line of defence. The Ice Warriors, now known as Skull Warriors, would be the first line of defence, on the edges of the city. Beyond them, Slicer would dance in battle with anyone seeking to awaken Ekimu, using the arena they knew well to their advantage. After them, the legions of Scorpios would be remotely directed by Kulta to attack anyone that came through, and the second-last line of defence would be Basher. Kulta himself would look into the sky and see Makuta's face-constellation, waiting for eternity for anyone that would dare awake Ekimu. This, of course, meant trouble when, many, many years later, the Masters we know arrived. The population of Okoto was still under Ekimu's spell. still wearing the masks he had made. Worse... these Masters had golden masks made of Ekimu, who had made them in response to the summoning of the first set of Masters. Fortunately, an outside force who had gained a mask once forged by Makuta, the Mask of Skull Spiders by the Lord of Skull Spiders, delayed the Toa slightly - but not by enough time. The Toa eventually reached the ancient city. They got past every defence. They awakened Ekimu. They defeated Kulta. Ekimu was free to resume his torment of all. Makuta had failed... hadn't he?

Managed to pick up Skull Scorpio at a discount. I know I mock this set every now and then but the stinger is more FUN than you'd expect. Though I'm not sure I've ever seen scorpions with stingers like that. It didn't even inject venom into me. One good thing about the set: the torso is constructed nicely. The tail and legs make everything fall apart though, but the legs are actually quite easy to improve. Tail, not so much, but at least it's fun. CCBS really needs an equivalent to the Y-joint with the axle-hole facing up that many of the 2005-2007 titans had, because those provide a really, really easy way to make Skull Scorpio's legs even slightly articulated. Well, the back two, anyway. It only really needs one point of articulation on each leg, any more and I imagine it would get a bit unstable and frustrating to pose. The front two transparent neon green shells get in the way a bit. As with the other Skull Skeletons, the transparent orange here... well, it fits. It's nice and contrasting to the trans neon green. Then again, I like a lot of colour combinations. We should really have more transparent colour combinations. It also bothers me Gali doesn't even get a fully transparent mask. For all intents and purposes, I'm guessing the Transparent Orange Mask of Fire is meant to be a drained version of the Mask of Fire, so 5/6 Toa get drained masks and also three different masks. Also regarding masks, it surprises me Skull Basher and Scorpio have the exact same mask, no recolours or anything. Would've thought one or the other would have had a gunmetal version, like how Warrior and Grinder have gunmetal/silver.

What does the Skull Scorpio's stinger tail actually do? Does it inject venom? Does it snap you in half? Does it grab you and throw you 30 feet into the air? Does it warp reality? Does it just want a friend?

Skull Scorpio has a hidden power so great we should all fire it You see, Skull Grinder grinds things. Skull Basher bashes things. Skull Slicer slices things, and by the way it makes a great chef. Skull Warrior... wars... things and is a great war... warrior. Notice how they all do what the second word of their name suggests. Skull Scorpio... shoots Scorpions. It shoots scorpions out of its tail, out of its claws, and out of its face. Because it's Skull Scorpio. Scorpions... have stingers. And claws. Don't forget the claws. These stingers... can kill. So the next time you see a Skull Scorpio, you better respect it, you understand? It can kill you with scorpions.

Skull Warrior came in the mail today. Gear function doesn't work that well with the bow (well DUH). The new armour add-on piece honestly doesn't look that good in the way it attaches. It looks kind of awkward compared to the piston piece and the round/square HF add-on pieces, it doesn't really try to cover up the area where it attaches. Still, it's by far the largest shell add-on piece we have yet and looks good as long as you don't look at it from the side. Believe it or not, but shells can fit, albeit very loosely, on the bone piece, as long as it's on the side where you can see the 'slit' in the bones, the hole. Not the side where you can't see the 'slit', as it's thinner. Transparent Blue and Transparent Orange go together better than you'd think, contrasting very well with each other. The new torso shell's upper part is a bit disappointing, as it looks awkward without the 'breastplate' add-on thanks to the awkwardly tiny 'ribs' at the very top that are obscured by the aforementioned 'breastplate' add-on. The new blade piece is thinner than you'd might expect, both from the side and from the front. Skull Warrior does have some problems standing, thanks to the weight the bow/gearbox add, which is sort of negated by the claws on the feet, but not quite. Unlike the spear, the bow doesn't really have a place where it can be mounted on the back. Unless the bow's meant to go where the bow is, but I have no idea how the bow'd connect without looking awkward.

I think the Skull Bonkle commercial had a hidden story to it, so I decided to give you my interpretation of it. --- SKULL SKELETONS: Do you think we should hep the big skeleton thing that just revived us? SKULL SKELETONS: No, not really. SKULL SKELETONS TURN TO DUST AS SKULL GRINDER IS DEFEATED BY TAHU WITH ONE BLOW IN SKULL GRINDER'S WEAK SPOT FOR 999,999,999 DAMAGE! MEANWHILE TOA: Should we help Tahu? TOA: Nah, we hate him. He's full of himself, let's watch him get defeated and get his comeuppance. TAHU DEFEATS SKULL GRINDER WITH ONE BLOW IN SKULL GRINDER'S WEAK SPOT FOR 999,999,999 DAMAGE! TOA: ... TAHU: I am the best Toa in all of existence! Now, I demand you all paint yourselves red and swear total allegiance to me because I'm awesome. We awaken Ekimu this day! MUCH LATER SKULL SCORPIO shows up to the scene of the battle - more accurately, the aftermath. SKULL SCORPIO: *curses loudly in skeleton language* SKULL SCORPIO crumbles to dust, since it has only just realised the Skull Skeletons lost the crucial battle against the Toa who seek to awaken the evil spirit of Ekimu. AND SO, OKOTO SLOWLY SANK INTO THE SEA AS PER EKIMU'S WISHES, REVEALING THE GIANT ROBOT THAT SLEPT UNDERNEATH. THE GIANT DEATH ROBOT, THAT SOUGHT TO DESTROY THE PLANET. GOOD JOB, TOA 'HEROES'.

Skull Spiders are not native to Okoto. Nor are they native to the planet Okoto is on. They are extra-terrestrial, coming from elsewhere. The Mask of Skull Spiders was forged by Makuta after their arrival. The fire village is constantly on fire. This is a problem. Currently, the fire villagers have to live and scavenge through the volcanic wastes of... the Fire Region This region, the region of fire, is also rich in Obsidian. Obsidian is now a material in G2 as it is IRL. It is used for stuff. Also, there are fire tornadoes sometimes. The water village is technically underwater, but surrounded by giant air bubbles. Natural air bubbles. Life has adapted to these air bubbles in weird ways. In the watery part of the watery region, which is known as the water region, there is a very deep sea trench for some reason and nobody knows why. Ekimu once dived down there and came back with some gold and a missing armour piece, along with declaring that they would never go down there again. The earth village is underground. Above ground, it's far too dangerous for the villagers, as the only things on the surface are barren mesas, inhabited by only the harshest wildlife. Few villagers live on the surface. Instead most live underground, as beneath these mesas lies the largest cave network in all of Okoto. Most of the caves are under the mesas, although some extend under the mountains of the island, which means that some of the caves have openings in the fire and ice regions as well as extending under them. In the fire region's portion of the caves, there's a lava problem. In the ice region's caves, it's extremely cold. Villagers never venture far from the centre of the network of the caves, which is where the Earth village is located. There's also the problem that the deeper and further you get away from the Earth village, the more dangerous and unknown the wildlife becomes. Not to mention the drops, the openings, the lava, and sometimes the remains of ancient villages under the same curse as the ancient city. That is... the dead still lie in wait. Waiting to be disturbed. Every now and then a curious villager stumbles upon them, and if they survive the ordeal of the undead, they must report the cave so that it can be... caved in. The jungle village is in the trees of the jungle region. This is because the surface is far too hostile. Even simply walking on the surface is enough to disturb the jungle. Thus, the jungle village has to be up in the understory and canopy of the jungle, out of necessity. Much less of the dangerous wildlife can get to the jungle villagers when it's like that. Why is it not the surface? It's dangerous because some of the plants kill. There are tales of foolish villagers stupid enough to put their hands in some monstrously sized plants, and then being unable to take their hand off the plant - the plant's laves were sticky. Then the leaves closed around the villager. Then it slowly killed the villager. And that's only the tamest of the plants that can kill villagers - some can move ever so slightly, somehow. Not even Skull Spiders dare to go near the following plant: a plant that can blend in with others so well that it looks like a bunch of flowers. Then it entices a villager or two. Then the ruse is dropped, as the 'flowers' move away to reveal a giant pitcher (as in a pitcher plant) that the villagers then fall down into, which is nigh unescapable unless you have somehow learnt to fly... which is something most jungle villagers can't do, especially not when their feet has already been digested by the plant. The jungle region has by far the most dangerous plants, basically. The ice village is in the southern and lower part of the ice region, close to the border with the water region. The reason is that it is far more hospitable here than anywhere else in the ice region. North of the mountains would be too cold for normal life. Plus, there are lakes nearby for fishing, which is integral to the lives of the ice villagers. The northern part of the region, north of the regions, is almost completely uninhabited, and some of has in fact never been charted on a map - it's far too cold for anyone except a master of the ice. What lurks here? Nobody knows, except some explorers have reported what apparently looks like a hulking mass of snow with a very bestial gait. The stone village is located in the stone region, just south of where Ekimu and Makuta were originally sent to their eternal sleep, and on the coast. The stone region is basically a desert, although like the Earth region it has some mesas, mostly in the southern part of the stone region. The stone region, as a whole, is more hospitable above ground than the earth region, although the earth region has some of the worst wildlife on the island. That doesn't mean the stone region doesn't have any dangers, it's home to several kinds of scorpion, ranging from tiny and harmless to larger than three villagers put together and ready to crush anything that moves, even other scorpions. There's also giant worms of several kinds. Some are harmless, some are not, with the strength to rip off the limbs of an unfortunate villager. There's rumours of a worm so large it disturbs the sand around it and sends villagers back by simply burrowing along. There are also sights of 'beings with stinger tails' in the central areas of the stone region. Most write them off as but a legend, as very few ever visit the centre of the stone region due to the heat. But some say that these beings appear to have some semblance of intelligence, and dub these unknown beings 'Vorox' as they believe they can be communicated with. In the centre of Okoto, there is the ancient city. Protectors lived here once, guarded by Toa. But not the Toa we know. Six OTHER Toa. These Toa questioned why they had to protect the villagers when the villagers were sort of capable of doing it themselves - after all, each village had a protector, so why should a Toa do it? These Toa, like the six we know, simply appeared one day without warning. They did not have to go through trials to get their golden masks. They did not even have them, in fact. One day they started slaughtering Villagers, tired of being made to protect them. This is where Ekimu and Makuta started being revered: Ekimu and Makuta, as Protectors of Water and Earth respectively, conjured up a plan to defeat the Toa, which worked. The Toa were sealed away, but not killed, by virtue of the Mask of Creation and Mask of Control, which were forged to deal with them. The Mask of Control allowed Ekimu and Makuta to control the Toa, having them walk into a tomb which was immediately sealed with no way out, with a door made out of a supposedly unbreakable material, forged with the Mask of Creation by Ekimu. Ekimu and Makuta were then hailed as heroes. But. The Toa never died. They simply withered away. Their armour started to fall off. Their masks started to deform. Their faces transformed into skulls... but the eyes still glowed. Some of them even managed to change shape with this new form, almost as if it were making a mockery of what it meant to be a Toa once. With the combined powers of their masks and elements, these old Toa were able to curse the ancient city, and other abandoned villages on the island. This curse was to make all of the dead restless. Once one living being steps near the dead - the dead awaken. And eventually, these former Toa were able to tunnel out of their tomb, revealing their new forms: a skeletal archer, a skeletal basher, a skeletal scorpion, a skeletal four-armed slicey thing, a skeletal grinder. That's five... but where was the sixth? They were cannibalised by the other former Toa out of boredom - being trapped in a tomb for so long made them lose any thoughts that were not malevolent. Because their curse did not only raise the dead, it made them unable to think anything but malevolence. They also hold less power, and only the Mask of Creation can restore them to the power they once held - and beyond. This came from looking at the Okoto map.

I was looking for pictures of the BIONICLE 2015 summer wave yesterday or so, and I noticed pretty much all pictures of them had been taken down. I think we've accidentally been discussing leaks from the Nuremberg Toy Fair without realising it. Oops. Discussing leaks is illegal here, right? So, um.. how do we apologise to LEGO?
-
If all the Toa have to claim their golden masks to become the Master of their element, does that mean Lord of Skull Spiders has to claim its golden mask and become the LORD OF SKULL SPIDERS? I am the Lord of Skull Spiders. I must claim my golden mask and become the LORD OF SKULL SPIDERS! Now imagine that sentence in the style of those other promotional vids/episode narrator voice. You know what, I'm going to guess that Makuta forged the Mask of Skull Spiders and the 'masks' the Skull Skeletons are wearing while Ekimu forged the other six and the Mask of Creation.
