Tohunga

Tohunga (3/293)

  1. For the new Kopaka set, I replaced the huge shoulders and chest for smaller, non-gold, parts. I also replaced all other gold parts (using parts from the PoI), as well as just using the two parts of the shield as blades and putting one in each hand.
  2. That man was a legend. Anyway, I think a TV show would be fine, as long as it's not a TV version of the books. Or if it's really bad and gives Bionicle a bad reputation.
  3. Just as I had started to drift away from Bionicle again, I see this and I come screaming back. I literally can hardly contain my excitement!
  4. Gravity Hurts. It's a great song, but I can't find it on iTunes.
  5. I have to say 2006. I didn't like the technic builds *prepares for angry swarm* the arms just were annoying for me, swinging back and forth unless you had specific pieces that stopped them. The Inika build was my favourite. Poseable and bigger than before. Plus I loved the masks and armour, not to mention the translucent pieces. The story, I think, was great as well. Six matoran go "rogue" (well, not really) and become Toa, in a race against time to save the dying Mata Nui. Also the Piraka were great. They were individual villains, which wasn't really seen before save Makuta, Sidorak, Roodoka, and a couple others. They also had internal problems, scheming and having no trust for another. Then finally the matoran. The whole "resistance" aspect was pretty neat, proving that even a couple matoran can do something against six powerful beings. Anyway, that's just my two cents.
  6. This has probably been mentioned many times, but if the reboot happens, I'd like to see a Toa team using elements like gravity and lightning. It's unlikely, but it would be cool.
  7. It's really simple, but I actually like it! It's small, but it has lots of customisation potential.
  8. Bionicle served as a boost to my imagination. That's a very bad way of describing it, so I'll go more in depth. When I was about 4 years old, I loved Thomas the Tank Engine. I would build tracks and make stories and all sorts of creative stuff. As I got older, I became more interested in drawing. I drew Thomas trains However, as I began to lose interest in drawing, I became a less creative person. I'd go play video games at my friends house, or play sports, etc. When I found Bionicle, however, my imagination was renewed, in a sense. I built characters, I made islands, I sat in the room holding my toys for hours, though for me it was an adventure through the magical Matoran Universe. I remained interested in Bionicle for a long time, and thus I kept being creative for a long time, until Bionicle ended and I lost interest. But Bionicle's effect on me was not lost. I wrote stories, first about Bionicle, but later I branches out to other subjects. While this may not be a big deal, or deep, or anything, it was important to me in my life.
  9. I didn't mean The Mysterious Feeling of the 2001 Bionicle Universe, I just meant it in a general sense. Anyway, I'm not completely sure what I think they would do. Perhaps wrap up the loose ends on the side and start a new storyline set in the future as a compromise to new and old fans? I dunno. However, for some reason I want a full reboot, which is strange, as I'm a nostalgic and sentimental person.
  10. During my few days on this forum as a new member, I've seen a lot of people state that the reason they enjoyed the Toa Mata/Nuva was because of the mystery of this new universe. Would this mystery not be relived, even a bit, if a full reboot took place? *Sprinkles nostalgia fairy dust everywhere* Just a thought.
  11. Am I allowed to double post for chapter updates? If so, chapter one is up. I had it all done, but then something happened and it was all deleted, so I had to do it again, and rewriting chapters is not what I would consider to be enjoyable, so sorry that it's short and kinda rushed. Basically, I'm building up the setting and stuff right now. It'll pick up soon, I promise.

    A New Horizon

    Chapter 1 Grahu was woken up the next day by noises coming from outside. He got up, opening his door. He was greeted by hundreds of fellow ko-matoran, at least, he assumed they were ko-matoran, speaking to each other. They all stood in front of a large balcony perched on a building that was larger than the huts, but smaller than the tall buildings that towered above all else, save the large mountains. As Grahu entered the crowd, a hush came over them. Looking around, Grahu saw all of the others were looking at the balcony. He followed suit, and saw Turaga Kotum standing on it, his staff held up in the air. "Hello, inhabitants of Ko-Metru. For those that do not know me, I am Turaga Kotum. I am sure you all have many questions, and I will attempt to answer a few right now. This island, Masua Nui, is home to six regions, or Wahi's, each with a different climate. You all currently reside in the region of Ko-Wahi, in the city of Ko-Metru. I am the elder of this city, and I am here to direct and watch over you. In a minute, you will all be given jobs to carry out to make sure this city will run smoothly. If you do not wish to work, no one will force you to, however, you will have to leave the city. On your hut you will find a word. If that word is "voya," you will be a messenger and you will meet here, in my hut, as soon as you can. If you see "rua," you will be a scholar, working in the large towers in the city," as Kotum motioned to the towers, Grahu felt a strange pang go through him. The towers seemed familiar somehow, but he couldn't imagine how. "Now, please go to your huts and report to your required location." After Grahu reached his hut, he saw the word "voya" written beside the door. He walked back to the Turaga's hut and saw about ten other matoran there as well. Kotum came soon after, and spoke to them. "You will be the messengers of Ko-Metru. Some of you will stay here and deliver messages throughout the city, while others of you will travel to other Metru's and deliver messages to them. The matoran that will do that are as follows. Poltu, Ta-Metru. Lervi, Ga-Metru. Grahu, Po-Metru. Jetwas, Onu-Metru. Huyde, Le-Metru. Your first assignment will be to inform the other Turaga that the transition is complete." With that, the five of them left, splitting off after leaving Ko-Metru. Grahu made sure to grab his ice pick on the way, uneasy with this trek into territory he had never ventured into before. After what seemed like hours of walking through snow, the snow began to melt away to reveal barren ground and sand. Eventually, the climate changed to dry and hot, and Grahu became irritated. He kicked the sand as he walked, dragging his pick in the ground. Finally, he reached the city of Po-Metru. The buildings weren't as tall as in Ko-Metru, and they were made out of clay. The majority of them were huts, with a lot of fenced areas. Grahu wandered around the city for a bit, until he found a hut slightly larger than the others. He knocked, and what he could only guess was a Turaga opened. "My name is Grahu, and I am here from Ko-Metru to inform you that the transition is complete." "Thank you. I am Turaga Porew, the Turaga of Po-Metru. Tell Kotum I appreciate the message, and I wish him and his city the best." Grahu nodded, and left the hut. On his way back, he noticed a strange creature standing in his path, a couple dozen bio's away. It was a bit larger than Grahu was, appeared to be bipedal, and had a beak. As he approached it, Grahu noticed the creature stir. Frowning, he began to walk around it. However, it awoke, and looked at Grahu. He grasped his pick in his hand, preparing for attack. However, he was ill-prepared. The creature charged, and Grahu was knocked over, caught off-guard by it's speed. The creature turned around, preparing for another attack. However, a rope was slung around it's neck and a matoran came out from behind a rock, pulling the creature in. "Having trouble?" The matoran, obviously from Po-Metru, asked. "I was fine." Grahu muttered. "Didn't look like it. Dikapi giving you trouble?" "What?" "Dikapi, this rahi right here. It's usually pretty docile." "Well, thanks." Grahu began walking away. "I'm Barekk by the way." "Grahu." Grahu mumbled before continuing his journey back home.
  13. I'd probably be a messenger. A seer would be too boring and sedentary in my opinion, and a messenger doesn't seem like a rough job.
  14. This is basically pitting super heroes versus robots. Bionicles have masks, weapons, and elemental powers. Hero Factory has weapons. I'm gonna side with Bionicle here.
  15. I have to say that the Inika were my favourite. Probably because that's when I really started enjoying Bionicle, but I dunno, there's something about them. The light up weapons were cool, not just because they lit up, but the designs were nice as well. The masks were a cool idea, and again, the designs were great in my opinion. Finally, the bodies were very well built, the pieces never broke for me, and they had more mobility than the previous sets. The story was enjoyable as well, for me at least. As for my least favourite, I don't really have one, I liked all the teams, but if I had to choose, it would be the Phantoka/Mistika. I liked the To a Mata, and I liked the Toa Nuva, but the Phantoka/Mistika thing just was too weird. It's kind of hard to explain. The designs were pretty cool, don't get me wrong, but I just didn't like the story. Especially the vehicles.
