Toa Imrukii

Okay, so there is no word in Tolkien's Matoran dictionary which directly translates to Soft, so I have to imprevise as Not-Complex Sence of Space, which is Urakaitil. Or at least as best as I could translate. So I guess the Maori word Ririki works.

Anyway, great film, I feel like Gali may have been a bit out of character, though I suppose her being insecure about herself at one point in her life or another isn't too unheard of, so I think it reflects a yound version of her, befitting I suppose.

I could do some voice acting, I can do numerous voices.

 

Just a bit of sorta-trivia, Ririki translates into Wild-Wild Sharp.

If it does, than the dictionary I used was very wrong.

I loved them, I sill do, I love all of the Bohrok, you could do so much with them in terms of play. Yes, they're all clones of each other, but I couldn't care less. Out of all the BIONICLE sets I still have the most fun out of the Bohrok to this day, and when we got the silver recolors of them in 2003 I was, and still am, stoked.

Something strange I would like to tell you about: My Brother has the power to infiltrate people's dreams! 

 

Let me explain the story:

 

many years ago...

 

I was sleeping, having a dream, in the dream I was Anakin Skywalker and I was fighting Cin Drallig (A jedi you fight in the revenge of the sith video game), I had defeated him in the lightsabre duel, then Emporer Palpatine came and congratulated me on my achievement, then he told me to wake up, I promptly awoke and continued with my morning, my Brother woke up later, I asked him what he dreamt about (as was a tradition in those days) and he told the exact same story as my dream, except he was Palpatine, not Anakin...

 

Turns out he had the same thing happen with our Grandpa, so we decided it was a "power" he possessed, although we don't know if he still has it because he never dreams anymore.

I often have dreams that are predictions of the future, be them incredibly criptic, or even rarer far clearer ones, though still mostly criptic.

And though not a night dream, I do sometimes have waking visions which also tell of future events and be them good or bad, they are things to soon happen.

I do not know why I have these, but if you care to believe it, aparently one of my great grandmother on my mother's side was clairvoyant, she had a vision of her friend dying in a terrible car crash, and a few months later it happened. Than she predicted her own death, and a few days later she died. That is the most famous instance of clairvoyance in my family. This relative of mine was a direct relative to me. But believe it or not, I frankly am skeptical and unsure myself, it may very well be genetic somehow that I have this ability, but really I am really unsure of it all for myself.

I'd like to imagine him as the chubby redneck of the group.

Congrats on the Feature!

(Also, sorry for not being as active with my own 3D works, I fell into a state of depression and life just got in the way for the time. I hope to pick up my own work soon enough. Thank you for the tecnical help you've so far provided.)

Huh, that's a pleasant surprise, though befitting the season. It's nice to see something from the miniseries. I myself just saw it about a month or two ago actually.

Anyway, Umarak The Beast here looks really well made, as is to be expected of your MOCs. It is very accurate to the show.

Well Done!

I lookup you up, surprisingly nope, I don't know you. Oh well.

0/5

I feel bad for Krika, he was the only Makuta against Teridax's plan, the only reason he joined was because he knew he would be killed if he didn't, he tried to warn Gali but was shot down, literally. Nontheless him joining Teridax didn't save him from being killed by his zealous sister Gorast, simply because he tried to convince her that they'd die there unless they all left. It was by their own blindness that the rest of them, the Makuta, died in the energy storm. It was only righteous that Teridax got moon'd to death in the end.

Other than Hallowe'en, I got nothing.

How about mustard.. oh wait...

 

(I would have posted it as a gif, but couldn't find with with text of squidward)

I would get rid of Sand, and just make it be a oart of Stone.

If you saw a decently sized meteor fall from the sky and crash, you would...

 

The first one is the whole mess around Kanohi. First, they're special masks which grant users powers based on the shape of the mask. Then, the shape doesn't matter, and the mask doesn't even have any powers, but it just amplifies the innate power of the user. So what determines the powers? Why bother using different masks? What the blazes is happening, and what prompted Greg to even come up with something so pointless and needlessly complicated? Masks should just be magic masks!

 

 

So I'm confused. The masks always had powers of their own right? The Matoran make them using Kanoka, the combination of which determines the mask power and the level of the mask power (Great, noble, etc) so when was it retconned that masks don't have powers? I know that Masks do allow Toa more energy when worn, (presumably it does the same with other species but I don't think that was ever established)

The power of the mask is determined by the disks used and the purity of the protodermis of said disks. However a Kanohi can be shaped as whatever mask, and have the power of another, generally though the shape of the mask is associated with the power assigned to said mask shape. As for unpowered masks, those are just masks made with inferior disks, that do not hold any power, which said disks are basically just blunt throwing object normally, or disks with weak powers. The disks can be formed into essentially any shape, like the powered ones. But it would seem the Matoran either have a favoritism to pre-existing mask shapes when it comes to the power it holds, or they don't often put one and one to tegether and realize that the shape doesn't inherently matter. One of the two.

Personally, I am split on this piece of lore, on one hand I think it's awesome that the mask itself doesn't have to inherently be shaped a certain way to hold a power, but on the other hand I feel it could spiral out of control into a special-snowflake type situation, where any mask can have any power and any shape, which for an individual consumer looking fir a custom mask is fine, but if such masks were put out the general matoran public would not exactly know what power the mask itself holds, they may assume it is one power but really is another.

But that brings up another things, yes I am aware that most matoran probably do not wear great kanohi, though what if, hypothetically, a matoran wearing a mask like that became a toa, so for example it looks like a Hau, if that Matoran were to become a Toa, if that hau was made from the proper disks than would have the proper power, however, if it made from the disks for a Kakama, than it would have the power of such. If that matoran became a Toa and thought they;d have the power of sheilding but istead has teh power of speed, though that would be kinda cool as say a toy, that matoran in-character would probably feel japped and somewhat betrayed.

However, all that asside, take to note this, the powers of the masks are determined from the disks and their purity, those disks are forged into a specific shape, though I suppose they could be cast molded instead, and that almost always the specific shape has association with a power, however it could be requested that the shape for the mask be different than would suggest the power to be.

Yes, and the prefix is Kra. But only with natural things, unlike the Shadow Matoran.

Smack his in the face with a branch.

If Good Guy turned out to be Dezalk, you would...

Out Come The Lord of the Rings, the Hobbit, ARA, and the Matoran Language.

In goes my hairbrush.

Well, I guess that settles it. There's no way we're getting another movie based on lego's own IPs. It's just parodies of licensed stuff from here on out... sigh.

I think what LEGO needs to do is make great IPs and stick with them for decades, even if said IPs, like that of BIONICLE, no longer have sets being made, they should still stick with them in some way or another. Though I am not suggesting continuing on from old stories, running them into the ground, but maybe interact with the fans more and promote said themes that way. For example, LEGO hasn't made a train set in a while, to my understanding, if they brought back trains and promoted it a lot and really well, than maybe that would boaster popularity for it and than they could make it really well known and loved. Just an idea though, of course it depends on the contents of a theme for said theme to really kick-off and skyrocket much to the extent BIONICLE did, and has overall done in the relative public eye. I say relative public eye because though I do often meet people who know what I am talking about when I bring up BIONICLE, most people I meet have no idea about it when it comes up in passing conversation, not to say that I actively interact with local folks about an old toyline, but the point I am trying to make is the example of overall popularity of a theme or product, and that it must be sustained in the public's eye in order to be popular.

What I watn to know is, why exactly is LEGO seemingly falling behind now a-days? The stuff they make is good, but for some reason people aren't very interested. I honestly have no clue why that could be, and I want to know why it is.

You know, at this rate I would argue my point forwards, but really there is no reason to continue conversation. If you want to be ignorant to what I am saying than so be it, I don't want everything to be exactly the same however, if I did I wouldn't come over here voicing my opinion, I would have just hopped onto BMP and played MNOG. All I am saying is that I would have been interested to play if the gender constraint was a thing, it doesn't make me lame, in fact I think what you think of me, you see me as lame, but rather I see you as lame. I actually find that working within limitations, even them be them very small, which the element-gender constraint is because gender is a mundane topic in a society such as that of the matoran who do not rank eachother higher or lower based solely off of gender. A small limitation such as that can actually potentially help to enrich the story, but it depends and it is unlikely to be the case here. So, I guess the argument is null, but my point in all is that if it is not one-hundred percent to the rules of the original lore which it is based off of, than there is no point to me personally playing. And me playing MNOG instead of this is not going to change anything, my opinion still is there.

But that is just my two cents.

rocks can be girls. there is nothing you can do to stop rocks from being girls.

 

No offence, but that doesn't make any sense. A static object does not have a gender, a being can assign themselves with a specific thing to signify themselves as being a part of a specific faction or clan, of course, but your character isn't a rock. What your character is however is a person with a story all unique to their own, to be defined as you play along. I get what your saying, your characer can be whatever, I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with however is going against the grain of the original in-universe contraints, hence why I don't want to play. But for the rest of you, go on right ahead. I was just attempting to adress myself in the regards of the game. Nothing more, nothing less. Seeing as I had playing BZPBM I wanted to let it be known why I am not playing BZPMN. That is all.

Also, Imrukii, you're probably the only one who misses the gender constraint.

Yeah, Thanks for singling me out...

Listen, overall I do not like the gender contraint given to BIONICLE at all, and though this may very well be an alternate continuity as stated by Scrubbish, it is still based in the time of the 2001 story, and for me that is a very special year. To be fair, we did not know the genders of the matoran, or as they were known at the time as tohunga, so it didn't really matter eitherway, but still. I just wish it followed strictly to canon.

You know, I was going to ask to join, but I have decided against it. Seeing as it is full, but also if the game is not going to follow the G1 MU element-bound gender contraint than what is the point of playing if I am not immersed one-hundred percent as it was in 2001?

Hopefully Mahri Nui will be better suited for immersion, whenever that comes around.

Kopaka, Toa ai-Ko!

(Thats my best translation from Tolkien's Matoran Language to mean "Kopaka, Toa of Ice!")
