Well if its a reboot, I wouldnt want anything other than the setting to be on Mata Nui. Its part of what made Binicle so special, and while the Metru Nui arc was good for many things, it lacked some sort of magic Mata Nui had. EDIT: However if it is a continuation, I would love to see a new Villain emerge thats nothing like Makuta. At the moment all that pops into my head is Charismatic and funny. Rebooting the Mata Nui saga would be great for old and new fans, IMO. But I guess I want a complete new setting. Certainly, if the reboot decides to go in a new direction from G1, new islands and locations would be great. I just think 15 should be as similar to 01 as possible. EDIT: ONLY IF its a reboot. A continuation should have parallels but shouldnt be a copy,

Hypothetically speaking, I would like to think there's a hypothetically good reason than to just hypothetically put three hypothetical popular characters in a hypothetical Hero Factory XXL gscenario. Hypothetically. Buy in a hypothetical universe that that may or may not happen, you you not believe that this may ruin the cohesive look of a Toa team?

Hey dude. Glad to see you opened this up. Love the name Here is what I would like if you would be so kind. Style: Rayg Everything else just make Vakama Hordika Eyes: Green "snake like" eyes Weapon: One Hordika flame sword help backwards in one hand(like in the movie) Thats all for now Vox, Thanks.

IC: Wryu Wryu drifted in and out of conciseness seamlessly like she was never entirely in either state. She kept her eyes shut, but she felt somewhat weightless as if she was flying.She thought to her self, What does this insect even want when I'm "fixed"?

IC: Wryu She was in no position to refuse. "Youve got it, critter." She said through clenched teeth. "Although to truly fix me, its going to take a lot more that a few bandages and a plaster. Know any where that does therapy?" she smiled, and slipped into unconsciousness.

IC: Wryu Wryu new she shouldn't have pleaded. It wasn't like her to but what else was there to do. "Ever heard of a thing called compassion, beast?" That was rich, coming from her.

Hypthetically speaking. How would you guys feel about lets say... half the Toa team being large sets and half of them, being medium? Again... purely hypothetical.

I think it's become pretty clear LEGO has moved away from that approach. I think it's alright that way, makes the sets much more flexible and it would also give the new BIONICLE some sense of distinction to the old.-Gata I don't know. I always liked it. I could get behind something like brain attack where they had six good six bad but different sizes.

I pretty much agree with everything except for the last bit. I do not necessarily want Makuta to come back as a character. However, I think he's such a central part of the BIONICLE storyline that his legacy should still have an impact. I've always thought it would be cool to have something similar to certain The Legend of Zelda storylines, in which the followers of the evil villain hope to revive him, or like Team Rocket's role in Pokémon Gold and Silver versions, in which followers of the evil villain want to continue doing evil deeds in his honor.This would work especially well in BIONICLE, I think. The new followers of Makuta could start calling themselves the "Brotherhood of Makuta", and after a certain amount of time it won't matter why they're called that — when people hear the name "Makuta", they'll think of the new villains. Much the same way certain heroes or villains in superhero franchises have taken up the mantle of an earlier hero or villain.This is what I would like too. I just wouldn't want it to be a carbon copy of Makuta. The new villain has to be a new character in their own right, otherwise they might as well just bring back Makuta himself.

All I really want is a set of six. You can't have Bionicle without a Toa team. I really hope we get our six good guys, six bad guys and six small guys format. I always loved that.

IC: Wryu "Im not here to play games", Wryu hissed. She was just about form a fighting stance when a sharp pain exploded in her abdomen and chest like shrapnel and stopped her dead in her tracks. She let out a breath of exasperation, but seemed to be unable to breathe back in. The Toa of Fire fell to her knees and looked up with eyes full of helplessness. Her whole body ached as if the blood running through he veins was turning to acid. "Help...", she pleaded.

I guess I'll enter. Why not. Thanks.

Is the button jammed?

O_O I'm speechless. You've got passion.My collection is a half disassembled mess of what I didn't sell in my former bedroom, all dusty and without purpose. Still go to that house, but rarely to my room. I stopped MOC'ing long ago and I don't really... well... play with the sets in any other sense. I only really want to keep my first set, Lewa Nuva, because it's a nice idea to have a reminder of how it all started and he's my favorite character anyway.I always wished I had more 2001 sets. Especially the one that you can build all kinds of different rahi with. I can also never have enough McTohunga.Oh, gawd, what should I do with them :S Thanks for the comment. As of now I am 99.9% complete on my Bionicle collection I am only missing Cahdok(blue bahrag queen) and Raanu. I got 2 Bionicle play set recently and will be trying to get the other playset as well to complete my collection. I will be moving to my home country in the Philippines before the end of this year and hopefully my collection will be completed and once I got settled I will put every Bionicle collection I got on a display shelf along with my other Lego collections in one whole room. My goal is to have a Lego collection Museum that I can share to the public once I got the place settled. Noel I wonder if there will be a large audience for that in the Philipines... Good luck. Actually, this is a really good collection! And also, I love how you made the other '01 matoran. Better than what I have! (I know, rookie collector=me) BTW, Lewa and Kopaka's arms are on the wrong way. Oh lord there's more from where this comes from. I got most of these today aside from the Toa Mata. I think I posted the rest of my collection last page. And yeah as far as arms go, I prefer them that way. Thanks though dude. Wow that's really nice I agree with nuparu the way you made the other matoran is really cool do you have other waves of sets like this? Thanks guys. Unfortunately I do not although I do plan to make a Metru Nui city with just under 100 Metrutoran with the masks in the link. Here is most of my collection. Some I couldnt fit on but I have all the canister and small sets I own on there, besides the Visorak and the Rahaga. I plan to pretty much complete my collection of 2001-2008 sets aside from the battle vehicles which I really dont care for and also the 01 Rahi. Link That's so cool. Every Original tuhonga character you can think of. What are you going to do with that Metru City, anyway? Are going to just put it somewhere to brag about? Or do you have any big plans... *-* No plans if I'm honest. I just think it would be neat. I don't even know what plans I could make lol. You could make historic Bionicle pictures! Like scenes from the matoran civil war, the building of Metru Nui and all those other happenings that get mentioned but never elaborated. I would be even better if you could join with a graphic artist or something of the like to make it more Bionicle-ish. Oh... and the massacre in the archives, the possibilities. Maybe someone can even write newspaper aricles (or just captions) to go with them. This is just one example of the artistic endeavors such a huge collection can support. Are... Are you a graphic artist? Please. This sounds awesome haha

Orange is the new black. S1e9

Won't last long XD How come? Im only joking... well. half.

It's noted that all of the Toa Nuva lost their elemental powers, not just Lewa. Also Lewa wandered out of the fortress that Velika was going to blow up, so he's probably safe from that. (Although him not getting the language upgrade and getting stuck in a village of primitives is another way of the story slapping him, if you want to view it that way.) Greg not liking treespeak is a known fact, and may or may not have played into his treatment of Le-characters. For example, Greg wanted Matau to betray the group instead of Vakama. Kongu got the Suletu instead of the Mask of Flight (you can argue that it actually helped him in the end, but whatever.) Lewa was in the story the longest, so he could have gotten the shorter end of the stick. In Bionicle in general, though, that case could be made for almost any character (except for Teridax). Tahu and Gali got defeated by three Rahkshi. Tahu had to rely on Lewa for help in the jungle (that was Tales of the Masks, a Greg-written-book, BTW). And Matau was the one to save Vakama (although that was a movie thing, not Greg.) Onua and Pohatu got flattened by the Rahkshi, Onua ran from a Makuta, scared out of his wits... I just wanted to reply to the example I highlighted in your post above. I honestly wouldn't say that was due to Matau being a Le-Toa, but more so due to character development. Greg has said multiple times in the past that Matau would have been a far better choice to defect to the bad side, as he was a far more vain hero, and was quite frustrated with becoming a Hordika. He even showed greater weakness to becoming a Rahi, as duly noted with his making of a nest. Vakama was all about being a Toa, and was rarely ever confident... His character change in 2005 made absolutely no sense, which is why Greg would have preferred Matau. And honestly, I agree with him. Eww. No way should Matau have become the villian. It was vital for both characters development that Vakama was the antagonist and Mataus was the protagonist in WoS. I also think Vakama was way more susceptible because he was so insecure. So Im glad Matau became the hero in the end. The main stretch Greg had to make was having Vakama become so arrogant when they first arrived back after LoMN. I could tell that it was extremely forced. However, at the same time, I understand that if had to be Vakama because the point was that the Toa Hordika wouldn't be able to function without their leader. I think that Greg handled it as best he could. Vakama's arc after their mutation made sense to me. I didn't see Vakama become arrogant in the 2005 storyline. If anything, he became rather self-loathing, blaming himself for Lhikan's death and considering himself unworthy of being a hero. This led him to desert his team. And after he was convinced that he didn't belong with his fellow heroes, he was left very vulnerable to the suggestion that his true place was with the Visorak horde. I think Greg handled things very elegantly. Of course, if the story team had gone with his plan and made Matau betray the rest, I'm sure he could have written it just as well — but I feel that it would not have been quite so impressive a feat as a writer to make a somewhat self-centered and volatile character even more self-centered and volatile. Vakama had to be utterly broken before he could be convinced to switch sides. He had to be convinced that his duty to Metru Nui was a lost cause, and that his destiny as a hero was a convenient lie, and that his unity with his teammates had been built on that lie. In regards to the books and comics, you're right. I was thinking of the film, where he comes off as quite cocky in his first scenes. You know I have been thinking about this a lot recently since my last post. I think the only Toa who could have turned WAS Vakama. I think there was a lot of reading between the lines in the Metru Nui are, esspecially WoS era. Vakama did act cockey yes. But its a very common thing for mor insecure people to act sometimes overly confident to mask their true feeling. Yes, they had defeated Makuta but I still dont think Vakama felt he was ready. I still strongly bveleive that Vakama would have turned eventually even without the Visorak venom. That was only a trigger. I think becuase if his feeling of inadequacy he felt inferior and almost craved to be stronger and better so he acted out in anger and betrayed his brothers(who I think his anger towards them was a reflection of his self hatred). I also think that when he accepted Roodakas offer of Ta-Metru, it wasn't out of a power lust. I think his old Toa self still believed he could make a better place and he still cared about the Matoran greatly(remember, it was the thing that brought him round). As for Matau, I always saw him as a mirror character to Vakama. I think both were as insecure as the other both for similar and entirely different reasons. They got on each others nerves and it seemed like they hated each others guts, but I think they had the strongest bond out of all the Toa. They were best friends, with out a doubt. Not in the same way that Vakama and Nokama were best friends(supportive and caring), but they both learned from each others mistakes and success. I honestly think that if Vakama would haveturned for good, it would have been Matau who would have taken charge of the Metru. He seemed to develop a lot as a Hordika and matured a great deal. I really wish they would have played more upon Matau accepting his responsibility in the movie, although I think one of his last lines where he basically said he would kill Vakama if he needed to, showed this too(yet I think also a darker side to Matau, similar to Vakama). He was willing to kill his best friend to save the Matoran which was his duty. Sorry if it seems like a tangent, but its always how I interpreted the characters. Actually, I watched WoS again yesterday (for nostalgia reasons), and none of the Hordika ever mentioned the thought of killing Vakama. And in my opinion, Matau didn't suddenly mature so much that he would have been good enough to be their next leader. When they met Keetongu, he was quite extremely irritated to find that "We came all this way, just to find out WE DIDN'T HAVE TO COME ALL THIS WAY?!" As a Toa of Air, he's naturally playful and boisterous, although he is vain, which I think is uncommon, if not rare, as well as the fact that he flirts with Nokama at least once in LoMN. I think that Air Toa are generally too childlike to be leaders as they don't seem very serious at the best (or sometimes even the worst) of times, and Matau was peeved only because he was part beast (which ruined his good looks) in WoS. It would still have been a struggle to make him the traitor, because as we all know, the Toa of Air never act maliciously of their own free will. When one of the Toa says something along the lines of "What if Vakama doesn't turn back?" Matau replies "leave that to me". I cant see many other ways of looking at that IMO. And the speech in the last fight was Matau maturing a great deal. If he had dealt with Vakama, I think it would have changed him tremendously. By the end of WoS he would have been ready to lead. All boys can be boisterous, playful and vain at times, and as we grow into men, we keep these traits(some more than others) yet we evolve by our surroundings and responsibilities. Thats what happened to Matau, I just dont think the flim portrayed it quite so well. Which is why I think the Metru Nui era should have been a trilogy, with Vakamas fall at the end of the second film and Matau maturing through all three.
