  1. From what I understand they originally only had 4 character slots but got it promoted to six part way in development which is why Pohatu and Kopaka (and thus stone and ice). And while at the time 6 seemed like a good idea at the time, it ment each year had 50% more major characters, occasionally compromising on the development each on got and giving less time to smooth over the overall plot. Additionally by limiting to 4 characters it would be easier to have groups made of secondary elements.
  2. I mean, yes, but that also had light powers.
  3. yeah, in my opinion Lego's biggest mistake with Bionicle was making it six main elements than 4 or even 5; by having 6 they made every wave larger than it probably needed to be as a result.
  4. I mean the mask of peace that either draws power for peace and calm or allows to reduction of extreme emotions could be an interesting; especially if it's the second effect and can do stuff like drain enemies of their rage or determination.
  5. Yeah, I don't think we getting a continuation of G1, partially because the complexity issue that the elements show how much extranious material there is that would make going back there a nightmare. If we do see a G3, I hope we see alot less elements just to make things simpler; probably like G2's Fire, Water, Ice, Earth, Jungle and Stone - although I could see Stone being replaced with Wind to match the desert location of Pohatu (and make his name a little ironic as it's literally 'rock' in Maori). Ultimately if we further elements I would see them as either rarities or as secondary powers that some toa develop (with toa that don't usually developing some other power based on their element; like fire toa being able to empassion and inspire the 'inner fire' of allies, while stone toa can become stronger, tougher, faster, etc). Not sure on the exact combo but assuming the same elements as G2: Fire -> Light or Electricity Water -> Electricity or Sonics Earth -> Gravity Stone -> Iron Jungle -> Wind or Acid Ice -> Sonics or Wind Note, I never want to see plasma (crosses to many lines with fire and acid has more potential I feel) or psionics (I don't feel right with it being an element and it makes too many of the pre-existing mask powers sub-powers which feels off to me for some reason) as returning elements. As for Shadow; it wouldn't be a true element but a counter to light that only Makuta and his minions can use. A variation of the above is that there are several 'sub-elements' or 'secondary elements' that Toa of any (or at least most elements) can pick up, possible with some limitations (Toa of Earth can't get electrical powers or Stone get sonics).
  6. I think it's possibly but unlikely; the problem I see is Ninjago. Basically Ninjago has been such a money maker for Lego and it's elemental themed heroes covers alot of Bionicle's potential thematic space and it would require a strong media presence to really sell the series, which might not get the investiment it would need because the you would to justify it not having Ninjago to get the resources and focus instead. I could be wrong (and I hope I am) but it's worth considering how Lego decides would produce more profit.
  7. Why Camouflage in particular? It's not what I would necessairly see for Gali but I'm interested in your logic.
  8. If there was a G3 series that came out and did G2's thing of letting Toa of Water to breath water with just there elemental powers, what mask would you give her instead? Some of my thoughts for possibilities: Mask of Healing - A useful power and Gali has previous healed Tahu in the movie, although I'm a little worried of 'girl gets healing and stays at the back lines' trope getting used. Mask of Purification/Disspell - Another useful power, and if they were willing to play with it purifying curses/illusions/power effects it could be interesting; but would also be a very reactionary mask. Mask of Weather Control - powerful and not flashy but could create interesting situtations. Mask of Adaptation - Would suit a character who has an amphibious roll for the party and suit the concept of MOC by encourage people to design different forms for Gali based on different environments. Mask of Smokeburst/Mist - creates smoke bursts or mist that can hid the user or allies. Not the most heroic, but definitely useful.
  9. I mean this assumes two points: 1) That pit mutagen is going to be a major problem going forward; it seems to be heavier than regular water and thus would sink so deep as no to threaten most sapient life. 2) That it doesn't break down/decay over time without regular radiation exposure.
  10. As the title says, what sort of things would the Great Beings hide in the Matoran Universe that doesn't need the same level of protection as the Mask of Life but still need some protection. Looking for something as a finally piece for a one shot dungeon run and I realized I don't have anything to be a satisfying reward at the end. So I have ideas and I want to see what people think: Nothing, some Great Being left a joke note behind a shadow monster to mess with people. Powerful mask like an Olmak or a second Olisi. Design notes for forging almost any (non-legendary) Kanohi (including stuff like the Avohkii or Kraahkan). A virus with notes saying the it is an emergency weapon against some threat (like all Rahi or Toa). Powerful weapon (like the Sword equivalent of the Golden Armour). Armour that enhances a Toa's elemental powers.
  11. Thanks for everything; thinking along the lines of One evil toa (not sure of element yet, but possibly plamsa), his/her 'brother' toa hordika (kept on the end of a long electrified chain), two Rahkshi, some ex-toa and a several Rahi as the main force and a forgotten group of Blade Borrowers and their Rahkshi handeler that got left behind on a previous expedition and will by under the ground to launch an ambush on everyone.
  12. The idea I was looking additional forces than just Rahkhshi for a rpg one shot.
  13. Baring Rahkshi, what do you think the raiding parties/forces of the Brotherhood of Makuta? Specifically one bullying Matoran villages for equipment/supplies?
  14. Some thoughts on other possibilities: 1. Air - Possibly a giant toad or elephant who can manipulate the wind with their breath. 2. Lightning - Cat/Dog like creature (based on japanese Raiju) 3. Magnetism - Beaver (attack and buildup a base). 4. Sonics - cricket or frog 5. Plasma - Lizard/Crocodile. 6. Gravity - I'm feeling, giant worm, bear or goat. 7. Iron - Armadillo or Pangolin (due to armouring) or a boar/some other determined animal. 8. Psionics - Ape or octopus also work due to their intelligence.
  15. Yeah, basically my view on this.
