Zeb Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 You know what I want to see the return of? Trans Glow in the dark armor pieces, like takadox had. Some CCBS shells in that style with trans white instead of blue would be really cool for takanuva.Unfortunately, that color (294 Phosphorescent Green) doesn't exist anymore. Though then again, when Takadox used it, part of the reason it was so translucent was that it was blended with a transparent color, so maybe that kind of blended effect might still work with the new 329 White Glow. Hang on... Transparent+Glow in the Dark on the same piece used to be a thing?!? I now really want to see that on a reboot Takanuva.

I would say yellow is usually a colour last used except when it's used for lightning or gold (colour), oh and Tv Tropes; Colour-Coded Elements, it 's not fair to say TV Tropes knows whats most common, but I don't think one can fairly say yellow is more tied to Fire than Light elementally. Although my brain is only really alternating between The Legend of Zelda & Bionicle G1, although Pokémon certainly seems to prioritise red & orange before yellow when it comes to Fire-types, yellow is consistently used as highlights... But if your looking at something mostly Red/Orange &/or Orange/Red with Yellow & then something with Yellow + X or X + Yellow (where X isn't red of orange) it's pretty clear that it's a different 'element'.Exempting forms of colour blindness anyway... But for whatever reason I don't want to see a Toa of Light with a lot of orange XD Quote ~ Sophistry: A way to be antidisuncorrect. ~ In a decade you might convince maybe a small tribe of people.

Aanchir Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I don't see why people think Tr. Yellow would not be appropriate for a Toa of Light. After all, yellow is the color of the sun (as seen from Earth, at any rate). Also, Takanuva's gold armor has pretty much always been depicted as yellowish in the movies and comics — since transparent gold is not a thing, Tr. Yellow is possibly the closest you might come to a transparent version of that color. It's also possible that a new Toa of Light might even be able to use certain colors from the current palette that have never previously appeared in constraction, like Cool Yellow. That's a very sunny color I think, but not so warm that it looks fiery. Cool Yellow and Warm Gold would certainly make an interesting color combination for a Toa of Light, and one that could not be confused with any of the six main elements! You could even throw in Tr. Yellow to add an extra dose of energy!

The Protector mask leaves less of the face uncovered than people seem to think. I wouldn't by any means call it half a mask. Most of what it leaves exposed are the sides of the lower jaw, but the same could be said of the noble Kanohi Huna from 2001. The biggest difference is that the new mask for the Protectors doesn't wrap around the bottom of the chin. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aanchir Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 (edited) I agree with my brother's sentiment that Medium Lavender would be a good color for lightning characters in the new BIONICLE. It's got a similar luminosity to some of the other Toa colors like Bright Green or Dark Azur. Bright Reddish Violet (Bricklink's Magenta) might also work, since it's close to the Bright Violet used by Electro ("Energy Slizer") and Spark from the Slizer/Throwbots series. But with that said, I don't think the new BIONICLE should be in any hurry to introduce more elements than what it has currently, because with the old BIONICLE it kind of got out of control. Few elements outside the main six, light, and shadow, were ever established well enough to really justify their existence. At least light was rare because it was special and important, but the scarcity of elements like Sonics and Plantlife implied the exact opposite — that for some reason they didn't matter enough to make it onto any of the Toa teams with really important destinies, or onto any of the islands where important events transpired. Not to mention that some, like Psionics, Magnetism, and Gravity, hardly even felt like elements in the same sense as Fire, Water, Earth, or Air. They are invisible, intangible forces that lack that sort of iconic visual flair.

Banana Gunz Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Oh yes, white glow would be very pleasant for a toa of lightning... Sadly though my experiences with glow in the dark parts from Lego isn't great. I haven't bought a new set in a real long time so I dunno what the standards are now, but hopefully better than they used to be.

Lyichir Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Oh yes, white glow would be very pleasant for a toa of lightning... Sadly though my experiences with glow in the dark parts from Lego isn't great. I haven't bought a new set in a real long time so I dunno what the standards are now, but hopefully better than they used to be. 329 White Glow is a color that's only existed since 2012. It replaced the previous glow-in-the dark color 294 Phosphorescent Green, which had been used since 2005. Phosphorescent Green glows brighter than White Glow (since its translucency lets it absorb more light), but it's much less pretty due to its greenish tinge even when lit.

Rider Of Spiders Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 What is the name of the glow-in-dark colour used in the new Mixels? Could that be used in CCBS then?

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 So do we know what the "civilians" (i.e. the equivalent of G1 Matoran) will be called this time?As SuperGeniusCreator (who is slowly but surely becoming an expert on the kind of trivia Aanchir and I indulge in) said, the villagers don't have names. They're just "villagers," at least for now. And frankly, I wouldn't mind them staying that way, since Bionicle's overabundance of distinct species with unique power sets and characteristics was a bit of a burden in the original theme. If they ever need to be distinguished from a later group of villagers they could just be differentiated by their homeland—"Okotoans" (or a similar but catchier name). After all, fans did that in the classic Bionicle anyway, with names like "Metruan" or "Voyatoran" to differentiate between the different groups of villagers. I agree with my brother's sentiment that Medium Lavender would be a good color for lightning characters in the new BIONICLE. It's got a similar luminosity to some of the other Toa colors like Bright Green or Dark Azur. Bright Reddish Violet (Bricklink's Magenta) might also work, since it's close to the Bright Violet used by Electro ("Energy Slizer") and Spark from the Slizer/Throwbots series. But with that said, I don't think the new BIONICLE should be in any hurry to introduce more elements than what it has currently, because with the old BIONICLE it kind of got out of control. Few elements outside the main six, light, and shadow, were ever established well enough to really justify their existence. At least light was rare because it was special and important, but the scarcity of elements like Sonics and Plantlife implied the exact opposite — that for some reason they didn't matter enough to make it onto any of the Toa teams with really important destinies, or onto any of the islands where important events transpired. Not to mention that some, like Psionics, Magnetism, and Gravity, hardly even felt like elements in the same sense as Fire, Water, Earth, or Air. They are invisible, intangible forces that lack that sort of iconic visual flair.Would that color work well with the "keetorange" shade (which I do not know the official name of)? Because I've always felt that the "keetorange" color would fit lightning very well. Although a lavender & white Toa of Lightning would honestly be like a dream come true. Man, I'd buy three of that set. I wouldn't expect Medium Lavender and Keetorange to work that well together in a color scheme—Keetorange (Flame Yellowish Orange) is just too vibrant and would completely wash out the subtler Medium Lavender. And besides, Keetorange is currently used heavily on the Jungle characters, so I don't know if it would work that well as the primary color of another element. Yes!! All my research on Lego stuff wasn't a waste of time after all! And Medium Lavender is... an interesting idea for a Toa of Lightning. In my opinion, I would want a Toa of lightning to be Earth Blue (Metru Blue) & white/silver. I've done that before, and it looks okay. It is a bit too reminiscent of Hahli Inika, though. In think a medium lavender and white Toa of Lightning would be the best colors for them. What would really make my day would be translucent medium lavender.

Kael Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Do we know when the new Bionicles will be hitting shelves? And how about in Canada? I know the official release date is supposed to be in the new year, but I read on Eurobricks that people are expecting them to pop up by the end of November/beginning of December...

Unless your stores/location runs into serious issues it'll by January 2, very early in January. The reason people are saying they'll expect them earlier is because tehy'll be shipped out a while ebfore then, & stores get things before their release date; they aren't supposed to sell them until them, but it's never been terribly uncommon for stores to sell products of any sort before their official release. What time they will actually arrive in stores is harder to say, but unless you're somewhere remote or crisis-struck it'll be there by there before January.

Toa Chuck Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 I was just reading Aanchir's excellent review of kopaka, and I noticed something. In the instructions page highlighting the "combo" model, it shows a brief ad for the bionicle app. In this, you can see a still of the protector of fire with a fireball in his hand. Does this mean the protectors have low level elemental powers? Quote The Chirox Codex Chuck's Very Dead Comic Series This is my signature. Exciting, huh?

Also, since the "legend" video tells us that masks in the new BIONICLE are made from the elements, it wouldn't be out of the question for the masks themselves to potentially grant low-level elemental powers. 2 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
