the same way you explain guys like me. I'm a guy, but I have feminine facial structure and stuff. ^__- ...Really though, it's the way they tell the story. The story is being told by one person, so maybe it's a character looking back on the story after the fact. Well how old are you? Sometimes males do have a slightly feminine build and face shape until a certain age. Yeah, if you dislike something, express that in a tasteful - or even a humorous - manner. I'm 26. I was mistaken for a girl so often that i leave some facial hair. I'm 19...you're old. I THINK I don't care about how 'comlpex' their animation style is. I THINK it is extremely shoddy, making the heroes of my childhood look like bootleg Autobots and giving them the personalities of cardboard. And by the way, having the same boring and eye-scarring art style as those 'Mixels' is not doing them any favors. I THINK they should go for something darker and more set like. Is everybody happy now? Good. I'll be on Smash 3DS if anyone needs me. Darker? Perhaps a tiny bit darker would be nice, but how dark are you wanting it to be? We don't want Ghost Rider or Batman levels of dark! XD

I didn't want Bionicle back...I NEEDED it back.

I hear that the mask maker won't have a gold/blue Protector mask..apparently has the mask from PoW. Wonder if the names are preliminary? Designs may be subject to small changes too, hopefully.

I've wanted this since forever. Glad people like my theory of undead villains. If they are undead like I suspect, I wonder what the cause of their undead state is...would it perhaps be a direct result of the creation of the Mask of Ultimate Power? Or something with the Vahi? A virus? Something more evil and mysterious?

Each has a different "feature color"? Now that's interesting. Expected them to be dark, but not sure how to feel about the skeletal aspect. The description makes the villains sound almost zombie-like in appearance. Torn cloth...dark...skeletal...sorta sounds like something of the undead variety if you ask me. But that's just my opinion.

Well I discussed the possibility of 6 unique robots, each with different designs to avoid being clones, but that discussion didn't seem to go very far.

Am I the only one who hopes that G2 Makuta doesn't get his name changed to Teridax? We don't need that again...I do need Takanuva though.

Have you played Wolfenstein: The New Order? That game is amazing so far.

THE_Blastcage, Windrider warned you two posts above yours that the BZPower rules regarding respect need to be followed. Since you have ignored their warning your Proto will be reduced. That post was an apology and acknowledgement of my mistakes though? Royally confused considering I apologized to everybody. I respectfully told him why I reacted the way I did and made sure to let him I know I did not intend to be so harsh. I see what was wrong with the other posts, but do not see what was wrong with that last one. Guess I'm just not as intelligent as I thought.

Problem with Bohrok, unless they are COMPLETELY changed and are only Bohrok in name, is that they'd need ultra-specialized parts that couldn't be re-used, setting us up for Kal AGAIN...which would be redundant. We don't want to retread too much G1 ground, that would be boring and predictable. Easter Eggs would be nice, but we don't want too much of a retelling going on here.

I think you're the disillusioned one if you think that's how you 'stand your ground' There is no way to make the stuff you just said 'ok' because you had a rough time in High School. I at no point attacked you personally or creatively. I simply pointed out that what you said was incorrect. You for some reason disagreed (despite the fact that it's true) and did so by personally attacking me and engaging in some gigantic rant which you apparently don't even feel the need to genuinely apologise for. You absolutely ARE being disrespectful and you're making it worse by hiding behind some lousy High School excuse (which NO, by the way, I don't want to hear about) and refusing to acknowledge that you did anything wrong. I've been having a rough time lately too, and I'm an adult with REAL problems like a house and kids to look after. You think it's ok for me to take it out on my family when I'm having a rough day? Or go find some random stranger in an online forum to spout abuse at? No, what makes me a man is that I have a bad day and keep on going. I think there's a lesson in this for you somewhere. Now get over it, High school is over, time to grow up. I'm not using high school as an excuse or crutch, but the stuff I dealt with did make me less tolerant. Ok, yeah, I was wrong, and I am sorry, but you did antagonize me, and then fired back with this. I did not intend to personally attack you. You told me I was incorrect, and I disagreed? No, you told me what you thought I wanted, and I told you what I did in fact want. I do believe I know what I want, so I'm not sure how I could be incorrect, unless you're referring to something else? Also, saying I don't feel the need to apologize for my rant is jumping the gun. I wasn't trying to be disrespectful, I was just giving a piece of my mind...in what is admittedly a harsh manner, I see why you're offended, sorry I came across the way I did.. But I'm not hiding behind any lousy high school excuse, dunno what brought you to that conclusion. Very glad you don't want to hear about my high school experience, it's honestly something I prefer not to think about that often. I don't like that you basically dismissed my problems, the problems I've had since getting in college - especially the current problem I'm facing - are very real problems with very real consequences. You sound older than me, so perhaps you could advise me in my current situation, but I'm not sure if I can share it because I'm ashamed and afraid of being judged. I sincerely apologize to you and everyone else - mostly you - for my angst and harsh words. Hope we can move past this and come to respect each other in the future. Back on topic, why even have G2 Bohrok? They had a very specialized role and are hard to repurpose, so would they work without the GSR plot twist? Other than being robotic guardians that malfunction, I can't see any other way to bring 'em in. Why not bring the Baterra in instead since we never got their sets in G1? (Edited for funky wording and stuffs)

No, you merely awakened one. And you know how it goes...wake one, you wake them all.

I wasn't being disrespectful, was merely standing my ground. People walked all over me way too much in middle and high school, no way I'll allow it now. Gotta love how society has grown so disillusioned that standing up for oneself is no longer acceptable because someone might get offended by it. What he said was uncalled for, but I see you'll just choose to make me the bad guy, and act like he was some innocent angel. I wouldn't have lashed out like I did had he not instigated it. I'll admit I was harsh, but like I said, I've dealt with too much craziness, especially lately. I should be able to freely discuss in this topic without being turned into the black sheep because I said something someone didn't agree with, and that person then thought it was ok to make assumptions about me based on insubstantial evidence to back those assumptions. But go ahead, crucify me because I'm wrong and everyone else is an innocent white knight. Uh Prowl, if you don't mind me adding to your idea, I think perhaps a ball of volcanic rock would be better than a fireball. The earth one could be purple...I would say Adamantine, but I'll probably just get crucified AGAIN like I was in the official 2015 topic, so I won't open that can of worms again. EDIT: Apologies if I've been overly harsh or offensive or anything lately. It's not intentional, I've had it rough lately. Nothing seems to be going right and I'm just at a breaking point. Please bear with me.

Except it's not is it? We already have the 6 Toa but as RegitNui said these ARE NOT the same characters. They're just a nod to old fans and a hook for new ones. They were never on Mata Nui, they never encountered energised protodermis and they never met Takanuva, or even Takua for that matter. You're also discussing the posisble return of the Bohrok in your last post (yes I know that's the purpose of the topic but you seem to be arguing in favour of their return too) So Takanuva is NOT the only character you want to see return. I strongly suspect that if you had your way with the story team we would see a whole host of rehashed Gen1 characters with just the odd new set each wave and that is a perfect way to sink Gen2 before it's even started. If people want Bohrok or Rahkshi or Piraka they can buy the Gen1 sets! We DO NOT need them remade for us out of CCBS just because we can. If you want to see those models then either MoC them or wait until someone else does, it's inevitable really! I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line... Alright ya self-righteous, all-knowing jerk. Let me tell you some things. First of all, do NOT talk down to me. Second of all, do not tell me what I want, you are not inside my head and therefore do not know what I want. Thirdly, do NOT - under ANY circumstances! - accuse me of anything. You got that? Now that we've get that out of the way, allow me to correct you on everything you THINK you know about me. For one thing Takanuva is the only character I truly care to see return in G2. I may be advocating the Bohrok, that is true, but I'm only discussing POSSIBLE ways they could be done in a return. I don't particularly care if they return or not. If they do, I'd rather it be the namesake only that returns. As for your accusation that I would sink G2...that is uncalled for, and I will NOT tolerate such personal attacks. To suggest that I have creative skills or abilities is the most asinine thing you could do when you don't know a dang thing about me or who I am. If I had my way with the story team, there'd be no rehashed characters. In fact, it's more likely the actual story team will do that. I'd do creative things such as Toa of different elements, which I doubt we'll see from the current story team. Only thing I'd take from G1 is characters who never got sets, and even then, I'd probably just use the names, not the personalities or anything. I hope that clears up anything that may not have been clear to anybody from my initial posts. Ugh, I knew I opened the wrong can of worms by posting in this topic...

You mentioned Av-Matoran though, and Takua was one so...yeah. Av-Matoran as Bohrok. So no. Oh, I merely misunderstood...sorry, I'm sleep-deprived and have generally had a rough week. So sorry if anything I say/do makes little/zero sense, lol. Anyways, I wholeheartedly agree. The part about Bohrok being transformed Av-Matoran was honestly stupid and unnecessary.

Both drawings are absolute masterpieces. Better than anything I ever did. You sir, have quite the talent there.

That'd be like...a royal purple, I believe. Here's another twist. If we get Bohrok in G2, instead of making them be the villains...why not make them heroes? They could be 6 unique robots each designed with the express purpose of defending the villages of Okoto when the Toa are away, or helping out when a threat is too great for the Toa and Protectors to handle alone. I'm massively sleep-deprived this week, so maybe nothing I've posted this entire week makes sense or is worth anything, but it's just ideas floating around in my head.

Toa of other elements would also allow for new colors and color combos. I mean come on...who doesn't want more purple? You mentioned Av-Matoran though, and Takua was one so...yeah. Takanuva showing up in the reboot is only a bad idea in the sense that the Bohrok showing up is also a bad idea. Or the piraka showing up is a bad idea. Or Keetongu showing up is a bad idea... All of these characters have been done in Gen1 and I think Gen2 really needs to do something new. I'm absolutely happy with the inclusion of the original Toa in Gen 2 because it's the perfect way to relaunch the line and even though we still know nothing about the story we can at least feel that these sets are somewhat familiar while Lego tries to make us connect with the other characters via cartoons and comics prior to their release. If they do it again though? Just take the easy route and slap in a bunch of Gen1 characters with new colours and bigger swords? That will be a bad thing IMO... As far as the 'one man makes a difference' and various dues ex machina mcguffins goes. I think a well thought out story is definitely desirable over some sudden hero introduction to save the day. I don't think thta's ever what Takanuva was though. While I may still have my doubts about how far ahead of the game the original story writing team was, I have no doubt at all that Takua could have been planned as the seventh Toa from the get go. He was included as the MNOG playable character after all. That's pretty special when the franchise has barely even released yet... But I still wouldn't want to see that same story again. Ekimu leading the Protectors to battle with new Masks of power though to backup the Toa in their final fight? That would work... You know what would work even better? If Makuta led the protectors into battle to save the Toa Takanuva is the only G1 Toa I'm suggesting return. I'm not asking that LEGO bring back a bunch of G1 characters...just feel like Takanuva would complete the team.
