In the specific order (I think) time wise. 1. Sets (my cousin had a Bohrok) 2. Characters (Matau and the entire feeling of interactions in the Toa Metru group) 3. Story (Metru Nui and on) Originally I liked them because they looked cool. Then I read how the characters interacted, and it made them seem so much more real. Then I began delving deep into the story of the world, and I've never wanted to escape since. Also the entire time is felt like it was dangerous, even when I knew the heroes would win, there was the worry that they would not. Also I guess part of it was that it awakened my forever inner child who is happy with getting new story all the time. This has let me love BIONICLE through all of its years, World of Warcraft through its expansions, and pretty much everything else, because it always feels like a great new world.

https://youtu.be/OjhDoXOZEyY?t=78 I don't know if anyone noticed this other than me, but... Go to that link up top (Episode 18 of the BIONICLE 2015 Webisodes). Around 1:18 in, it shows the Toa all standing in front of a pillar. Look to the left side of the image. You see that box? Look at what is in the box. Look familiar? (Hint, it looks a lot like the new pieces on the 2016 Toa.) http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Pohatu-Uniter-of-Stone-71306?fromListing=listing Link to Pohatu because it shows the new piece the best.

One question, wasn't one of the things about Matoran -> Toa that they ended up looking how they imagined a toa should look like?

Lewa for two things: Green, and his mask is cool. Then probably Gali (her weapon is an oar), and Pohatu (I love how stone colours have changed, as they work with the IDEA of stone. Cause stone is all sorts of colours.)

Guys... Guys. Please... Less quote boxes. My iPod hates them.

As far as we know, it technically could be Krakua's island that he is defending.

Sooo... Burnt Umber or whatever? Actually, its official name is just Dark Orange yeah, but if you had paint of that colour I believe it is burnt umber, which is why I call it thus.

Sooo... Burnt Umber or whatever?

Cater entirely to old fanbase. Cater entirely to new fanbase. (Less of problem than first.) Cater entirely to themselves.

Favourite: Toa Inika They worked well together, the new design was really nice, and although I'll admit the mask attachment was weird, it was nice to have something totally out of the ordinary. (NOTE: I did not join with the Inika, I joined earlier than them.) (Next would be Hordika) Least Favourite: Toa Mata/Nuva1 Why? They seemed to hate each other, as they were ony ever allies by convenience. I mean, their designs were kinda cool, except that they lacked the poseability that I enjoyed with later years so much. (Also it may be because everyone seems to love them religiously, due to the nostalgic feel to them.)

To be honest, that new connection is lovely to me. The flipping up does make it feel like a true mask. Also, I am perfectly fine with that newly sized logo. Even though it may seem a bit more kid like than the old logo, it still is snazzy. (Also, the first bit of BIONICLE was appealing to kids, or why would we have joined in it and loved the old series so much when quite a few of us joined when we were overall of the younger ages marked on the canisters? Bright colours also appeal to younger audiences, and it was only Metru and on that used a bunch of darker versions of the original bright colours.) If it is more friendly to kids than the latter years, I will be happy, because then it will be very remeniscient of the first few years of BIONICLE that brought in young kids in droves and hordes. (Although I still do not want a reboot)

That moment when you realize that you're now a Turaga. - Roki By the ending of 2017 we'll tell them: "You are not the first fans" and they will discover the ancient legends of Metru Nui BZPower And then by two years later of us talking of olden days, they'll be tired of us and leave us because we are grouchy old Turaga. XP

Well, I will be disappointed if it is not BIONICLE, but I'll survive. Just like how I'd survive if it was all a sham. I'd be very sad, but I'd live.

It would be nice to have some official images to comment about, because that could keep us occupied on what they look like. Oh well, I guess we'll have to wait for a liddle while before discussing images other than the 4,2, and the shop icon. We can survive, we've done it so far.

Also, this is a theory thread for how it will end up being. Because, to be honest, we don't know whether it will be a reboot, a continuation, or whatever. This is the reason this thread is currently here. Then once it is announced, we can discuss it. (Also, you find it hard to not talk of leaks on this thread when we HAVE a picture that is not considered leaked? You should have seen the old "Rumour" thread.) NOTE: sorry if that came off as rude, I just see too many people wondering if the actually illegally leaked content can now be put up. -.-

Actually, really what they could do is just announce it, give silhouettes or something, and then let us brew ideas for who is who and what is what (like with some old comics that just showed them all blacked out in the last comic of each year). And THEN they'll show us the actual guys during NYCC, receive Q's about them and whatnot, maybe even show some cool commercials or something.

Well, seeing as I bought all the Cryoshrll music that was used in BIONICLE... All of them, although G.H. Gives a special feeling of the toa's unity of purpose, and the fact that they prepared to fight unimaginable evil. (Also, whatever the first song I hear in BIO 2015 will probably be, too.)

One question, why are you set on having the old style heads back? Sure they may have looked cool for some people, but if it was a continuation, they'd want the Glatorian heads to fit as well, most likely, so heads in the style of the old ones wouldn't look very nice. (Remember, those things had a fat jaw, and it doesn't look right with Glatorian helmets.) Also, even with the sets from that time, the masks often looked weird with that design, not to mention most of the later masks, so why would they want weird-faced guys for everyone? (Thirdly, it is an old design, it has been gone since the end of 2003 I believe... (Whenever Metru Nui started) (and that reminds me, that head shape was associated with Mata Nui robot at the end, showing that those faces were the ones made back in that time of nearly forever ago, and the faces on everyone has changed since then (current is Metru head I believe, but even that will probably change, as that stuff is no longer being made.)))

At latest about 2008 is when I found this spot, but it was most likely earlier. (And I actually got to it because I was trying to research random stuff for a role play on the SPORE Forum (SPORUM)) but I just recently joined, because of (you can guess).

Or we could call all of us from Bionicke's first iterations "turaga", and the new guys either "matoran" or "foolish matoran." (Seriously, you are using "vehemently" wrong. They were not acting like they were "vehemently" against a name, just that they didn't feel like we needed one, or that they personally don't want to be associated with a certain fan stereotype whenever they say they are a fan of _____."

As much green as possible, and if they bring back brown, that. Maybe blue. Or maybe all of them, although red, white and black would be in the back of the line with enemies, cause I don't NEED them.

One sentence: It was gone, but now it is back.

I think that Lego stopped using orange in 2006 due to low sales with sets of that color. Don't you mean brown? *facepalm* Brown. To be honest, I've been wanting to stock up on browns, cause I realized they go really well with the lime green. (#bringbrownback)

Well, they ignore what I am talking about (they don't care about it anymore). At school everyone knows me as the weird kid, cause I don't fit with the other cliques (right word?), and cause I am always drawing or doodling.

Except that BZPOWER is probably the only fan site not going rampant with leaks 24/7? But if it does show there, I want a video of it. XP
