Idk if this is a one time thing for Bionicle today, but this is only the first day of Comic-Con

For those of you questioning what to call the spider things, this website calls them Skull Kraata. http://www.bricksandbloks.com/lego-bionicle-2015-sets-list-revealed-winter-2015/ Idk if this can be confirmed but based on the other sets they list being accurate to what has been revealed so far, I wouldn't doubt it.

Disgusting Whoops did I say that out loud Ikr. I was just curious and looked it up

For those of you who REALLY want one of the NYCCC clear Hau now, here you go! http://m.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=bionicle+tahu+mask&isNewKw=1&_sop=12&_pgn=1&epp=24&itemId=&fads=1&mfs=GOCLK&acimp=0&sqp=bionicle+tahu+mask&trksid=p2053742.m2428.l1313.TR0.TRC0.Xbionicle+tahu+mask I am not the one selling this, btw. Hope you have a hefty wallet.

Ah, nostalgia, my old friend! Reading all of these posts at work with a 2001 original Onepu sitting on my desk staring at me. The feels have arrived (Hides phone while boss walks by xP)

I wonder if those gold masks will be given away in contests like before?

Notice they spell ONUA here instead of ONYA on the webpage. Seems like like it was hastily put together Edit: sorry, repost

How does one acquire a NYCCC clear hau?

Just watched the vid. Pretty cool for a reboot! Lego is making too big a deal of this for them to screw it up, so I have high hopes!

*Sigh* (kinda)... looks like Bionicle is taking a HF building system approach. Not much of a fan of the printed details on the armor pieces either. I think it takes away some aesthetic value. Still hyped tho! (Really want that clear revamped Hau, if that is even what it's called anymore)

Oh thanks! Where did you find this information? I couldn't find it on the wiki, but it makes sense.

What will you do now that your Staff of Fusion has been incinerated by Jaller and all you have now is a cra - ppy (auto-censor doesn't like this word) Order-of-Mata-Nui-Issued dagger? And btw, I think you impersonate Vezon perfectly, or as near perfect as anyone can be. Oh, and what should I do about the magical closet gnome who keeps leaving cookie crumbs on my bed?

I am torn, but I would have to go with gravity. Walking on the ceiling, making any object a target-attracted projectile, the possibilities, though!

Sexism aside, if you were a Matoran/Toa, what elemental faction would you be apart of and why?

I understand why that could be considered, but these categories are based on the Kanohi's abilities, not their morality. A mask considered "Immoral" is an opinion by the Toa, so because it is opinionated means that, while there are set Kanohi that are considered immoral, others, say the Makuta, may think otherwise, so it would be an somewhat unstable category. Unless, of course, the Order of Mata Nui or the Toa themselves were the ones who originally created the Kanohi categorization system

Mine would have to be Tobduk's staff due to aesthetic appeal. Haven't given any other weapon much thought. I loved the Rhotuka launchers, if that counts.

I agree with this. The Mahiki kinda falls under both Physical Alteration and Mental Enhancement categories, so should it be in both?

The long arm pieces are black, upper arm pieces are black (though I am not sure what you mean), hands (again, not sure what you mean exactly) are black.

Before I begin, I would like to inform those who question the placement of this topic in the S&T category, this topic concerns the powers of Kanohi, which come from the stories, and not particularly the Kanohi themselves. After looking up Kanohi powers (BS01's list of Kanohi and other Kanohi) I began to notice a trend, and that is that there seems to be a few categories that a Kanohi's power could fall under (and not the existing Powerless, Great, Noble, etc.). Topic Disclaimer: I will create lists of Kanohi under the different categories, and I do the best to judge which they would best fit into. However, this does not mean that they will be placed correctly or there may be some confusion and questioning as to how I placed a specific Kanohi into a category. That said, feel free to toy around with and comment on the categorization placements. Also, I encourage the creation of possible Kanohi based on the categories. Suggestions are very welcome. The first category is Elemental Kanohi. These Kanohi grant the wearers the ability to wield the various known elemental energies, albeit with limitations (a single element per mask [the mask of Light and Shadow does not count as it is a fusion Kanohi]). This category is hinted at in BS01 but not implemented as there is a lack of abundance of existing Kanohi with such abilities. Now I am sure all or most of you are aware of the Avohkii and the Kraahkan as they are the first and most obvious Kahohi which grant the wearers the ability to wield elemental energy as well as provide the wearer some mental insight, but things get interesting if you look back to the Toa Mahri in 2007, particularly Hewkii. As a Toa Mahri, Hewkii possesed and used a Great Garai - the Mask of Gravity. Gravity is a known elemental power used by Toa of Gravity and Makuta which brings up the question, "Are there other Kanohi with elemental powers?" With the addition of the Garai, that brings us to a total of three documented Kahohi with elemental powers being Light, Shadow, and Gravity. This means that there could be a total of 13 other masks that exist containing the remaining elemental energies. Here is a list of all 17 of them, including the Mask of Elemental Energy: Kanohi of FireKanohi of WaterKanohi of AirKanohi of RockKanohi of EarthKanohi of IceKanohi of LightKanohi of GravityKanohi of PlantlifeKanohi of PlasmaKanohi of IronKanohi of SonicsKanohi of LightningKanohi of PsionicsKanohi of MagnetismKanohi of ShadowKanohi of Elemental Energy The second category is Kanohi of Physical Enhancement. These Kanohi grant the wearers the ability to enhance their physical abilities. The most recognizable of these would be Onua's Pakari Nuva, granting him the ability to enhance the power of his body in order to perform feats he could not normally perform under his own strength. This category is fairly self explanatory, so here is a list of existing Kanohi that could fall under this category: Kakama - Kanohi of SpeedPakari - Kanohi of StrengthCalix - Kanohi of Fate The third category is Kanohi of Sensory Enhancement. These Kanohi grant the wearers the ability to enhance one or more senses or mental ability to a point which is incomprehensible by most other beings. An example would be the Akaku, which grants the wearer the ability to enhace their eyesight so that they can see great distances and even through substances. Here is a list of existing Kanohi that could fall under this category: Akaku - Kanohi of Vision/X-Ray VisionRuru - Kanohi of Night VisionMatatu - Kanohi of TelekinesisSuletu - Kanohi of Telepathy+ Elda - Kanohi of DetectionSanok - Kanohi of AccuracyArthron - Kanohi of SonarKanohi of ClairvoyanceKanohi of Sensory Aptitude The fourth category is Kanohi of Physical Alteration. These Kanohi grant the wearers the ability to change, alter, or transform part or all of their's or another's body. An example would be Toa Metru Matau's Mahiki, which grants the wearer the ability to shapeshift and cast illusions. Here is a list of existing Kanohi that could fall under this category: + Kaukau - Kanohi of Water Breathing+ Huna - Kanohi of ConcealmentMahiki - Kanohi of Illusions+ Volitak - Kanohi of StealthPehkui - Kanohi of DiminishmentKanohi of GrowthKanohi of IntangibilityKanohi of MutationKanohi of HealingKanohi of AdaptationKanohi of AgingKanohi of Fusion + The fifth category is Kanohi of Psionics or Kanohi of Mental Enhancement. These Kanohi grant the wearers an ability which enhances their mental capabilities or become psychic to an extent. An example would be Toa Metru Onewa's Komau, which grants him the ability to control other beings minds, provided that they are weaker willed to an extent or their mind is not shielded. The potential Mask of Psionics will not be included here as it could be considered an Elemental Kanohi. Here is a list of existing Kanohi that could fall under this category: + Matatu - Kanohi of Telekinesis+ Suletu - Kanohi of Telepathy+ Komau - Kanohi of Mind Control+ Olisi - Kanohi of Alternate Futures+ Rode - Kanohi of Truth+ Kanohi of Phsychometry+ Kanohi of Charisma+ Kanohi of Clairvoyance+ Kanohi of Incomprehension The sixth category is Kanohi of Additional Ability (better name?). These Kanohi grant the wearers an ability which aid them or enhance/limit the ability of others (better description?) An example would be Tahu's Hau Nuva, which gives him the ability to create a strong shield or barrier. Here is a list of existing Kanohi that could fall under this category: Hau - Kanohi of ShieldingKaukau - Kanohi of Water BreathingMiru - Kanohi of LevitationHuna - Kanohi of ConcealmentRau - Kanohi of TranslationKomau - Kanohi of Mind ControlKadin - Kanohi of FlightIden - Kanohi of SpiritElda - Kanohi of DetectionFaxon - Kanohi of KindredZatth - Kanohi of SummoningVolitak - Kanohi of StealthTryna - Kanohi of ReanimationKualsi - Kanohi of Quick TravelKanohi of EmulationKanohi of Rahi ControlJutlin - Kanohi of CorruptionAvsa - Kanohi of HungerFelnas - Kanohi of DisruptionMohtrek - Kanohi of Time DuplicationShelek - Kanohi of SilenceCrast - Kanohi of RepulsionKiril - Kanohi of RegenerationOlisi - Kanohi of Alternate FuturesRode - Kanohi of TruthOlmak - Kanohi of Dimensional GatesKanohi of PossibilitiesKanohi of PhsychometryKanohi of CharismaKanohi of BiomechanicsKanohi of ConjuringKanohi of IncomprehensionKanohi of ReboundingKanohi of ScavengingKanohi of Undeath The seventh and final category is Legendary Kanohi or Kanohi of Fundamental Laws and Principles of Existence (better name?). These Kanohi contain the powers which existence require (better description?) These include the Mask of Time, the Mask of Life, and the Mask of Creation. There could be other Legendary Kanohi such as a Mask of Enthalpy/Destruction or a Mask of Matter Manipulation, but those are some of my suggestions. Well, that's all I have on all this. Like I said before, feel free to point out any flaws with my reasoning with mask placement or with the categories themselves and suggestions are very welcome! Also, I will edit the lists per suggestion, provided said suggestion has moderate support.

I realize I am being close-minded and caught up in the olden-days and have not even considered a timeskip. I also realize I am missing the point of this topic, so I apologize

This is inaccurate. The Glatorians did not destroy Spherus Magna, the planet destroyed itself due to its energized protodermis leaking from its core. If you need confirmation check this out.

Respectfully, you've left out the obvious conclusion: that BIONICLE 2015 is a hard reboot, and does not, in fact, share the same continuity with the 2001-2011 BIONICLE saga. As a reboot, the line wouldn't have to consider any of the plot points that Greg introduced in the serials, since they would not even have occurred in this continuity. In a reboot, anything is possible. Point taken, and I agree wholeheartedly. However, and I do not mean to argue, the description of the Mask of Creation was in one of Farshtey's serials (though not post-2010) and Lego's recently released concept art, and the official mask itself is an accurate representation of said description, so this could imply that Lego is actually taking pointers from Farshtey's serials. That doesn't mean what you said is not true as that is not my intention of stating this fact.

Yes, this is made 100% out of pieces from the sets Keerakh and Boggarak, and not all of the pieces were used if that is what you meant. I also made a similar one with a Rorzakh and a Vohtarak

I do not believe that the Makuta will return in Bionicle 2015. My reasoning: they are all (except two) dead according to the cannon serial stories by Greg Farshty. My only other argument would be that yes, the Makuta will return in Bionicle 2015 as minor characters due to the fact that there are two left in existence. To explain my first argument: when Makuta Teridax took over the Mata Nui Robot (aka. the Matoran Universe), he immediately began a purge of all the Makuta, disposing of each and every one with the only exception being Makuta Miserex as Teridax transformed him into a painting on a wall (Miserex was later revived). To explain my second argument: As stated above, Makuta Miserex is, in fact, alive on Spherus Magna. The second Makuta to be still in existence is the Melding Alternate Universe Teridax (a good guy, btw) who was brought from the Melding universe by Mazeka (to aid in the war against the original Teridax) as a trade for Vultraz by the Great Beings of that universe. Also, there are many new villians to focus on such as the Toa-obliterating machine the Great Beings created, which broke loose from its confines, as well as the murderous somebody (supposedly Velika) disguised Great Being seeking to destroy all of the most powerful beings from the Matoran Universe for inexplicable reasons. Not to mention the intelligent Vorox who hunt toa and shut down their powers with a device they acquired from the murderous somebody. That said, there are plenty of villains to choose from given that Lego does not create a new villain, which is highly likely. As far as the Barraki becoming the main villains, this would not likely be possible due to the fact that some of them are dead and that the remaining ones are spread throughout Spherus Magna on their own accords. They didn't get along to begin with anyways. As far as The Shadowed One and his Dark Hunters being the main villain, there is a slight possibility for this to occur due to the fact that it is unknown as to what happened to the organization after the exodus of the Matoran Universe. However, this possibility is slim as Lego could most likely be looking for more fresh material to reboot with. My opinions are based on the cannon storyline and the official serial stories which accompany it as I am well-versed in the topic (I have been reading, studying, and theorizing Bionicle since it was first introduced in 2001, and yes I do have a life ) This, by no means, means that it could not be possible for the Makuta to make a return as Lego can make things up as they go since Bionicle is theirs to do with as they please. Karzahni is dead so it would be impossible for him to be the villain against Artahka

Hello all! For my first forum post, I will display a MOC I created years ago (and it is miraculously still constructed). This and a few more MOCs I created is a result of a challenge issued to myself to create a MOC using pieces limited to two Bionicle sets similar to what Lego originally did with the Toa Mata (Wairuha and Akamai) and later sets. This MOC was constructed using only pieces from the sets 8619 (Keerakh) and 8743 (Boggarak): + = Full Gallery Name: Kravakh Species: Vahki (Specialized Model) Origin: More than 1000 years ago in Metru Nui, Turaga Dume issued in secret that a new, specialized version of the Vahki, like the Kraahu and the Kranua, be constructed by a select group of Po-Matoran. This new Vahki was to be built to deal with foes that other Vahki could not contend with, essentially having hopes of creating a Vahki that could overpower and outmatch foes as powerful as a Toa. With the scale of the power Turaga Dume had in mind, the Po-Matoran tried but could not replicate what the Turaga had requested. They then resorted to implementing energized protodermis, obtained illegally and in secret, which resulted in a singular, very powerful and very sentient Vahki. The energized protodermis-infused prototype seemed to work to perfection until it stepped into the shadows. It then proceeded to destroy the Po-Matorans' laboratory and obliterate its creators, fleeing to the depths of the sub-levels of the Onu-Metru Archives, never to be seen or heard from again. Abilities and Powers: 1. It had the ability to absorb whatever power that touched its shield and channel it into a synthesized kanoka disk which could be launched from its launcher-claw 2. It could load and fire any kanoka disk 3. The white apparatus attached to its launcher-claw acted as a remote control for the disks it launched. To control the speed, it tilted its claw accordingly. To control the direction, it pointed its claw to its desired location (sort of like using a Wii remote) 4. It had secondary arms which had retractable scythes for hands, granting a better offensive and defensive advantage in battle, as well as granting it the ability to fly 5. It's shield, resembling a Visorak, could fire Rhotuka spinners with the power of any Kanoka disk, albiet the power level is fixed at 3 6. I could shape-shift into an auto-turret 7. Being a sentient machine, it was highly intelligent, able to predict and deal with scenarios in the best and cleverest way possible 8. Most dangerously, when exposed to shadow, it becomes a negative image of itself, which is stronger and more aggressive. Note: Image displayed is the Light version of the Kravakh, unexposed to shadow, generally protective and non-aggressive to civilians.
