These are from the german Bionicle comics from 2006.

 

 

Oddly enough, there's no prototype picture for Matoro.

 

There's actually another picture of the prototype Toa Inika that not a lot of people seem to know of. It features Matoro on some sort of weird hoverboard.

I have never seen Matoro before. Actually, that's the first time I've seen the image in full.

Awesome.

I don't know where they came from either... However, I really would like the masks that Nuparu, Jaller, and Hahli have. I like those designs quite a bit. The one Kongu has is a little...off...

In multiple forums I've visited, I notice people seem to gush about Nuparu's claws, then say they're basically the 2008 claws.

So there are pictures of prototype set designs for some of the Inika, most notably Jaller, Nuparu, Hahli, and Hewkii (and I think there's sort of one for Kongu). These pictures are fascinating looks into what could have been, and are accepted as true prototype images, but there's one question I have, and was wondering if anyone knew the answer to:

Where did they come from? What's the source of these pictures? They appear to be from some magazine, but which one?

Does anyone know?

Oh, here are the pictures, if you're curious or need a refresher:

Nuparu

Hewkii

Hahli

Jaller

Kongu

Oddly enough, there's no prototype picture for Matoro.

Ok. Thank you.

I've been considering writing a Skakdi horror story starring everyone's favorite Piraka combiner set, Irnakk. However, a thought occurred to me: why does Irnakk have zamor launchers? As far as I know, those weapons were probably made after the Piraka had heard about the being. So what's with that?

Chuck Norik is the reason why BIONICLE is returning

How about "Chroniclers"?

Doctor Who fans are Whovians. Star Trek fans are Trekkies. What about BIONICLE fans? Is there a name for us?

Chuck Norik is the reason why Makuta hide in the shadows.

Chuck Norik once challenged Mantax to a fight. The loser was banished to the Pit.

There's a Games & Trivia page? Go figure.

The BIONICLE universe shares a lot of similarities with our universe: living beings, tyranny, and jokes that hype up a being to be more powerful than a god. Not familiar with the last one in the BIONICLE universe? Well, let me familiarize you. The jokes are about a being known as Chuck Norik. Here are a few of these jokes.

1) In Soviet Magna, you don't find Chuck Norik. Chuck Norik finds you.

2) Chuck Norik is the reason why Artakha hides.

3) If a Tuhrahk attacks Chuck Norik, then the Tuhrahk gets scared.

4) If Chuck Norik touches the Mask of Life, then the Ignika gets some random power.

5) Under Chuck Norik's mask, there is only another fist.

6) Marhi Nui split from Voya Nui because it was scared of Chuck Norik.

From what I've gathered, there are more jokes about Chuck Norik, but alas, I haven't been able to find them all. Perhaps you, dear reader, know of some. If so, please add to the list.

I was reading the book BIONICLE World, and there's a part that says that, “...two Matoran on the island of Mata Nui started a quest to find Artakha. They failed and turned back."

Who are these Matoran? Was that ever mentioned before or after? And if it was mentioned, what happened to them?

We know that Artakha is powerful, and that Great Beings are powerful. We also know that another powerful being, Tren Krom, was killed by a Great Being.

So how powerful and intelligent is Artakha compared to the Great Beings?

I thought of the Great Beings as Agori sized beings that are quite intelligent. Not physically imposing, but powerful nonetheless.

Personally, I thought that if this was ever going to be done, it would be a bit later, not right off the bat. We'd get to know our main characters, going through some story arcs, then perhaps introduce Takanuva or Vezon. And, now that I think about it, having Takanuva would make more sense, especially if they have him in a reboot. It allows new Takanuva to see what could happen to him, and for original Takanuva to see what could've been and just see himself differently. Granted, something like that was done in Dark Mirror, but I wish Takua and Takanuva had more interaction with each other besides exposition.

We all know that Vezon and Takanuva took part in some universe hopping, for lack of a better term. So, could it be possible that they might have hopped into a rebooted BIONICLE universe (if Lego decides to reboot it)?

By "whole Orde thing" I mean the whole "Orde is the only male Toa of Psionics because the GB thought that females are gentler" thing.

So, should this be decanonized?

It should be noted here that on Bara Magna, there was a place called "Knee Island" or something of that nature.

I'd like to add some demands, if Takadox doesn't mind:

13-Release Graphic Novel #10

14-Give us a Doctor Who crossover

15-Make Vezpool's canon status unretconable

MAKE BIONICLE SPIDER-MAN, LEGO.

 

Spiders, you say? -immediately thinks BIONICLE Spider-Man-

 

 

That'd be interesting...

Spiders, you say? -immediately thinks BIONICLE Spider-Man-

12- Have a commercial with a Gukko bird saying it's “bonkers for BIONICLE."
