I didn't necessarily talk TO my bionicle sets, but I would use them to make up stories with my friend, and have them talk to one another.

I would probably want LEGO to incorporate more technic parts into the sets, and to make the toa look less bulky. I know a lot of people might disagree with me on the second part, but when the new sets first launched, I was honestly kind of turned off by how much bulk there was (in some cases it even limited movement). I've always liked how the toas' body structure used to be very rookie-esque.

Shibboleth: "Kohli head, you could've been lava bones!"

Response: "Could've been, but I'm not."

"-go back."

"Wibbly wobbly,"

Stationed at the north pole is a large, black, pyramid shaped building with a large, singular, eye carved into the side, inside of this building, there exist "little velociraptors in elf costumes," that run around the place building toys, near the back of the pyramid, there is a lizard monster, who goes around, once a year, delivering these toys to the people of the world while wearing a human mask, beneath the pyramid, is a jail-cell, housed in which, are the "Naughty children," of the world, this, my friends, is the true story of Hitler's death, it was at the hands of the illuminati lizard monster more commonly known as Santa Clause.

More like Satan Claus, amirite?

Illuminati confirmed.

I always have this dream that I'm in a store with every single Bionicle set that was ever sold.

I personally think that the Protectors should have totally new names, but they should still be somewhat Bionicle-esque like the six Toa (or masters, whatever). Since all of the original Toa's names were reused, I can understand why someone would want the Turaga's names to be reused for the Protectors, but that would just be too much in my opinion. A reboot should be new, and albeit I like how LEGO is still paying some homage to old Bionicle fans, I'd rather that new and interesting names be created, not recycled.

I don't know where you can find the MP3 of the song but I think it's the same song that was used in the new commercial for the Bionicle 2015 sets, if that's any help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPDSxxEXFp0

[EDITED]

Hello,

I'm not sure if anyone else had heard about this but recently Nathan Furst, a previous composer for the three original Bionicle movie, uploaded two videos titled "In a Bionicle mood tonight (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DC_2VWV4pnI)" and "Original Title Score - "Story of Bionicle / Discovering the Mask of Light (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rz3yfFpG7o8)", both of which I found quite nostalgic to listen to, if you wish to listen to them yourself.

My question for all of you reading this is, what do you think the chances are that Nathan Furst will come back to record more musical compositions for Bionicle, and/or would you like it if he did? I'm not sure how likely that would be, but I think it would be nice for the children of the Okotoverse to experience the same emotions that we experienced as small/not-so-small children as an effect of Nathan Furst's compositions.

Feel free to stray off topic as long as it still has something to do with Nathan Furst.

Well I don't know if anybody mentioned this but for every episode on bionicle.com, there's a hidden framing of a Kanohi Vahi that the animators leave for old Bionicle fans to find. I doubt that they're going to bring the Vahi back, but I just thought that was a cool easter egg and something to think about. If I had to choose some character from the Mataverse to appear in the Okotoverse, I would probably choose the Elemental Lords (more than one character, I know) just because I remember reading "Legends of Bara Magna" and looking at the illustrations for the Elemental Lords and thinking, "Wow, if Bionicle hadn't ended, we would have gotten sets that look like these." 

His name would be Cheekums.

Or Cheektau if you want to get technical.

I was going to actually refer to the Kanohi from 2001-2010, but then I realized:

You guys have to admit, the Mask of Creation looks pretty bloody sick.

We would all die from trying to surf on lava.

I thought that Bionicle 2015 was actually going to be part of Technic because on one of the photos that Lego released of Ekimu's head it said "Technic" in the top right corner.

Lol I didn't get to see it because I don't really watch television; I'm usually just on Netflix watching Cosmos, Doctor Who , and Star Trek.

I loved the voice actor when he only narrated, but now it seems sort of odd to me that he's voicing all of the characters in the online videos as well now. It probably could have been better if he stilled narrated, but made it like a storybook of some sort. 

I saw the stud launcher on the box for the Jungle Protector, and I didn't know that it actually shot suds. I thought it was just CGI to make it look like studs were being shot xD. Just makes me so much more hype for these new sets.

Disguises are commonly used by the government to observe where, what, when, why, and how people do anything. In other words, that banana sitting in your fruit basket wears a black suit in its alone time.

Science.

 

I'm honestly not really a fan of the overall bulkiness of the new Toa. I always imagined Kopaka as a sort of wise and introverted type of Toa, not the "LiFtIn WeIgHtS eVeRyDaY BrOoOOoo" kind lol.

Kopaka's design doesn't look at all like that stereotype. He doesn't look muscular to me, he looks armored and bundled up, traits which I think really suit a cold character with a guarded, reserved personality. On some levels, it's an extension of the way he has always carried a shield. It's a way of showing how he keeps the rest of the world at a distance.

 

I see your point but it would still be pretty nice if he had a neck lol.

I don't know WHAT Lego was thinking when they designed Kazi, but something tells me there was way too much protodermis in the office, if you know what I mean. 

"Oh boy, children are going to have so much fun playing around with Kazi and his stubby legs! JuSt ImAgInE aLl ThE sItTiNg PoSsIbIlItIeSsSsSs"

I love the boot design and the weapons on Pohatu, so I'll probably buy him and/or Tahu first.

I admittedly have a nostalgia-based bias to this, but Matoro. "Inika or Mahri," you say? Well, there's a simple answer to that.

Yes.

I've heard that putting some super glue in the socket (not in the crack) then letting it dry to develop more friction works well.
