Ya know...this makes me really happy because ever since the Inika sets came out I've always wanted to see what they'd look like animated and now I can say I have haha now I just need to find a Piraka animation and I'll be complete xD

 

I sure hope this doesn't get me in trouble, but... if, by some chance, next years' sets were to integrate the new building system with oldschool gear functions, here's one way I think they could do it.

 

 

Thoughts? Assuming the "default" shoulder balls could be used to pile on more armor, and there was a way to stop the arms from flailing and flopping around, is this the sort of upgrade you'd like to see on new figures?

 

This "gearbox" piece I've depicted here hasn't really appeared in any leaks... it's just how I'd imagine such a thing may look once Lego shows us the upcoming figures officially and we get to see what they actually look like from behind.

I actually hope the gears are only in certain weapons and the new blasters since even though I was with bionicle from the begining I NEVER liked the gears as I found them to restricting in regards to poseability.

 

I always liked the gears. Plus there would most likely be a way to use some different parts to help with the poseability. However I did like the 2006 sets mostly because of the piraka and the titans but the inika themselves were interesting and great for posing and easier to do stop-motion and things like that with and they were all around great without the gears. For me it really just depends on the set and since its the toa mata it would make sense to me for them to have gears especially if it turns out to be a reboot although I highly doubt it will be but still.

I'm pretty excited about bionicle 2015. I mean I was skeptical when I heard about it because I was a little worried it was going to just turn out to be like hero factory and not have its own uniqueness like it used to. And as for the set pictures, (although they ARE preliminary) it shows that the sets will hopefully be more complex than I originally thought. I'm also very interested in how the story will play out because if it's a continuation. I'm not completely sure where they could really go with it, it seems like they've gone as far as they could in terms of continuing the story without it being repetitive.

Personally the old mata hands just catch my attention but I also like the ball socket hand which are the ones I actually use the most.
