  1. Entry name: Amarii

     

    Amarii was once a noble warrior like the Toa. One day, however, she unfortunately stumbled upon a mysterious mask - the one we only know as the "Mask of Ultimate Power" - and in her excitement about the find tried to take it with her.

     

    The mask, however, corrupted her as she touched it. Her arm crumbled down and her will was broken, her mind now controlled by the mask.

     

    To this day, she's a watchful guardian blocking whoever tries to reach it.

  2. Entry #1: Nuva

     

    With Ekimu and Makuta both asleep and the Masks of Power scattered across Okoto, Nuva saw his chance to rise. Equipped with a Mask very similar to the one of a hero, he often seems like a friend to the villagers, only to betray them in pursuit of his own goals.

     

    The being who just calls himself "Nuva" now roams the lands of the ruins in search for the three masks. Will the Toa be able to stop him in time?

    I'm definitely going to enter this!

     

    Looking forward to seeing what you will cook up, man. B-)

     

    By the way this contest is sounding, it seems as if the winning entry may actually be featured in the new story somewhere. At least, that's my explanation of why LEGO doesn't want us to make it look too futuristic.

     

    I have something in store already that I'm submitting to this contest. Seeing that we can enter multiple entries I'm definitely going to build something entirely new though! Great to hear of your excitement towards my entry already :D

     

    @Staff: Where should I post my entry/entries?

  4. As one of the writers I also welcome all of the new staff members!

     

    We're already seven people now. I'm sure this will boost the project a lot!

     

    Monthly updates is a great idea and I can't wait until the 6th October for the first prerelease!

  5. Anyone else notice that this image and Faber's picture are kind of similar? You can even sort-of see the Great Spirit robot in Faber's image.

    That's esxactly the same sky! And now that you mention it... the silhouette of the Great Spirit Robot is clearly visible. Does this mean something? I can't imagine him taking that exact same picture without a reason, even it it's not anything official.

  6. Apart from all that speculation; the art is simply amazing. The Turaga with the iconic Bionicle symbol at the top of his staff, looking onto the sea... a really beautiful scene.

     

    I also liked how he described the picture. Calling us fans the Turaga who have great knowledge but yet cannot see into the future.

     

    It's really sad he isn't going to continue doing the artwork for the future Bionicle storyline.

    You saw the effect, yay! It was intentional of course, those images were once very sharp and had balanced colors, but I thought the perspective of a Forgotten Warrior might be different, so I added some blur and intesity effects.

     

    I was quite surprised by those shots aswell. I had them on my hard drive for some time and when I took them out for editing I noticed that something went wrong... but the camp is so overgrown by the nearby plants by now that I couldn't retake them. I fear little errors like that just happen.

     

    It's always great to hear when somebody points out specific pictures he liked the most! The ones you mentioned are pretty new ones so that might be the reason they look better :)

     

    Solunus is one of the characters that weren't originally intended to be so important but the character developement... just happened. And like I see my plan has worked again... I set discord into another reader's mind about who are the "bad guys" :P

     

    The gap is never completely filled, just like the other Toa's story in Uprising. It could be a part of the Writing Contest...

    But the real reason none of the Farside Toa appeared is that they are still on their way back after the encounter with the undead which infected Theran. The walk takes some time, you know? :D

     

    Thanks a lot for the in-depth review!

     

    No no no no no don't infect Theran! He's one of my favorites! Besides the village leader with the Kualsi and awesome red fins on the side, that is.

    I forgot to update the post here, but the sixth chapter has been released. You can find out what happens to Theran there! :D

  8. What happened to the Toa team from Uprising? You said that they were recruited by the patriots, but I haven't seen any of the five Toa that look like the Toa Nuva.

    They have gotten upgraded Inika-styled armors, just like it was told to you in Chapter 1. Haven't you recognized the obvious similarities between the "recolored Toa Nuva" and the team here? They also share the same names. I wonder how you could've missed that :o

  9. My question is... will we get comic books again?!  :o

     

    They'll probably relegate to TV episodes... Don't get me wrong! I'd watch the ###### out of those but comics were awesome too.

     

    Hopefully we get a good game to go along with the return as well. Itching to play a good Bionicle game!

     

    -NotS

    The animation and model designs in the Hero Factory TV series (which was pretty close to the "Legend Reborn"), but please... don't make it with over-the-top awkward enemies who joke all the time and then call the whole theme more lighthearted, Lego! D:

     

     

    It's not like he purposely decided to make Bionicle more complicated.

     

    I could be wrong, but last I checked, hamfisting Vezon everywhere was 100% Greg.

     

    On a different note, I'm unsure on this mask's design. On the one hand, it's pretty complicated. On the other hand, it's closer to a 2001-esque mask design than anything from 2006-2008.

     

    Ah yes. That. Vezon's world travelling was probably the second worst idea after the red star explanation, which wasn't just bad for the impact dead characters had, but also took out all the mystery.

  10. Yes, you could argue that Greg's non-Bionicle writing is better, but who's to say going back to Bionicle won't mean he falls back on bad habits? I'd much rather have him on a shorter leash this time.

    I don't think that's fair. A writer and basically everybody who creates anything imrpoves over time. His books became better, and I don't see how he can "fall back on bad habits" just because there's a different (old) name. It's not like he purposely decided to make Bionicle more complicated.

  11. ...so can we finally discuss what's been under our noses the whole time? Since July when we got those leaked pics, I'm sure a lot of people have been dying to discuss. hopefully we can now :P looks like TTV was right the whole time! :)

    It was stated before that those leaked images (not by TTV, by the way - It was another source, a single person) are still counted as "leaked" and thus are unofficial. Even this new image doesn't change that, so I guess you have to wait until it's officially confirmed or displayed by Lego.

  12. I freakin' exploded when I saw this. Unlike when I saw the news back in 2010 that Bionicle was ending, excitement is overthrowing me now and I feel joy inside me!! :D

     

    Looks like a crown of a tyrant king or something.

     

    I also think it looks like Vultraz with Kini Nui on his head. (someone please photoshop that)

    Close enough? c:

    Long live King Vultraz.

    You're right, maybe it's not confirmed. But I don't think they would do a reboot without some tie to the past storyline. A golden Kanohi mask wasn't introduced until 2003 (and this is in no way the Avohkii) and before that the conflict was all about the creatures of the island. It wouldn't make any sense to fully rewrite the story and only keep the six Toa the same. I think that a continuation is more likely here.

     

    There have been gold masks since day one.

     

    Also, reboot =/= remake. There's no reason why a reboot would have to hit the same notes as the original, it would kind of defeat the point of rebooting. You don't consider Batman Begins to be a remake of the Adam West movie, do you?

     

    Hm. That makes sense then. I never knew a reboot was a complete rewrite of a story.

     

    All options are still open. But I really hope it's a continuation, there's nothing to be rebooted in my opinion.

  14. How does that confirm anything of the sort? Rebooting the series wouldn't mean automatically rejecting any new ideas or designs. A reboot could take the series in whatever direction the writers want it to, which includes the possibility of masks, creatures, and concepts that might never have existed in classic BIONICLE.

    You're right, maybe it's not confirmed. But I don't think they would do a reboot without some tie to the past storyline.

  15. Seems to confirm it isn't going to be a reboot. This mask is different from aynthing we saw before!

     

    So what could this mask possibly be? Some have guessed the Mask of Creation... but that one belongs to Artakha, right? Why would he part with it?

     

    I' also very interested to see how this will tie up the loose ends of Greg's continuation stories. When the Toa Mata return that must also mean that Pohatu and Kopaka get down from that red star...

     

    It's only a matter of time until the official release... or until Lego takes this one down as well :D

     

    I also like "Queen Breeze". What a fitting name.
