Toa Imrukii

Other than Hallowe'en, I got nothing.

(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...

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.

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. 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!")

Kualsi for me, because I could teleport where-ever within sight.

Okay, On a personally serious note, I may be developing cholecystitis, i.e an infection of the gallbladder. This is caused because I have gallstones. Unless if I have my gallbladder removed, it will kill me. I'm am in no-way exaggerating this, this is serious and could very well be life-threatening. Be it genetic, diet related, or stress-caused, I do not know, all I know is that I have it. I went to the hospital today due to a gallbladder attack Wednesday morning at about 6 AM EST, which got to the point where I vomited, the pain did not go away during the night, it kept me up and I was left tossing and turning until I went downstairs into the recliner. Today at 3 PM EST I went to the hospital, they gave me various drugs and ran various exams only to come to the conclusion as stated above. I have just returned from the hospital and am now dealing with the matter of having to have my gallbladder removed, lest I die.

Well, lava can most certainly burn down something as lush and green as a Jungle. If you had decided that the jungle had burned down because of a rogue ember, or something rather ludicrous like that, though you wouldn't be losing sleep, I most certainly would be.

Okay, I have to state this for future reference. Unless the environment is dry and lacking water, i.e Bara Magna, a forest, let alone a jungle, is not going to burn down. Settlements within it may, but you try lighting a match and tossing it onto a pile of leaves after a small rainshower over a forest and see what happens. Zilch, none. You want to know why? Because it's wet. Have you ever tried lighting a watermelon on fire with a match? I have, it doesn't do anything, it only darkens and dries the flesh, but also since it has been charred it makes it harder to light otherwise. It's the same sort of principal. The conditions have to be right, you can't just toss a match into a forest and expect it to set alight, it has to be very specific. This is why we have forest fires,it is because the conditions are specific enough for them to occur, low rainfall, dry ground, dead flora, and there you go. So, I'm just saying, that lighting Le-Wahi on fire is about as easy as lighting the rainforests of south america on fire. Unless you have a lot of energy, and or the conditions are right, than you'll get a blaze burning. Otherwise, nothing will happen. As for say a settlement within a wet environment, it may burn, but again it depends. The conditions are more suitable for it, but on it's own unlikely to happen. However if you have a flamethrower, as has been seen historically during WWI, but also with similar flammible materials, such as Greek Fire and Napalm, almost anything flammible will burn, almost entirely regardless of environmental conditions. Again, it depends on how much energy is being put in. So as for burning down Le-Wahi, unless you decide to be a despicable cheapo and disregard chemistry, good luck with that.

Still can't beat my two foot tall Teridax MOC... I kid. But seriously, this is really well detailed and intricate, I am very impressed by it, and a small part of me kinda wants this to have been an actual set. This is really well made.

It reminds me of on of my mocs, of not for just the mask and body shape. Makes me wonder if something like this could happen with said character of mine, well moc. Anyway, this is darn awesome. I love the usage of the armor around the sides of the torso to give it a proper rounded shape.
