Cool idea man. I loved the Bohrok sagas and was sad there wasn't a game until AFTER the rebuild

This is really cool! Nice work 

OKAY SO

 

I SAT DOWN AND MADE THIS VIDEO IN COMMEMORATION OF THIS DISCOVERY

 

I laughed the whole time. Thank you so much for this

I voted for Jaller, but seriously no love for Hahli? Her design was awesome? Plus she seemed quite helpful finding the mask of life

Also Piraka is tough because Vezon, Avak, Reidak, and Zaktan are seriously all awesome

I'm going to get deep. Buckle up.

I have this old Pokemon card magazine from June 2001. It's filled with all the newest cards, popular animes, and set into 6 of those pages throughout are small advertisements of 6 characters that would change my life forever. 

I would play in the yard ( I was only 8) and pretend I was "the blue one" with those awesome claws. When they first came out my friends all got them. I bought Gali, my best friend bought Onua because he looked like a hockey player, and my other friend bought Kopaka. We would always go to McDonalds and try and get ANYTHING besides Onepu because thats all they ever seemed to have >_>

Now at the time my parents had divorced only a year before and life for me was pretty hard. I had legos but I couldn't really take them outside because I'd lose pieces. But Bionicles...I could take them anywhere. I lived on a farm with tall trees like Le-Koro and dirt fields like Po-Koro. Bionicles were my escape and being able to take them outside away from it all was freeing.

Fast forward a few years and I was growing up, but Bionicle was still my life. I remember most life events because of the sets that were released at those times. My mom moved when the Rahkshi came out...and so did my Dad. My mom moved again when the Hordika came out and we lived in a tough situation. I moved in with my Mom when the Piraka were out. And all this time I finally made it to highschool. Now highschool is the weird time where you aren't mature enough to make life decisions...but have to decide your career for the rest of your life. But yet I knew somehow that I wanted to work on the computer and make things. I went to college, and with it came what I didn't know at the time to be my biggest inspiration, Bionicles. Robots, aliens, cool creatures, tribal characters it all stemmed from the one thing that got me this far. 

And now? Well I have a Bachelor's Degree in Game Art and Animation doing what I had no idea what I would ever do before...making toys. And by my work space? My shelf with my Bionicles. Well, 3 shelves with Bionicles but you get the idea.

So BZPower I ask you humbly, how has Bionicle changed your life?

I don't quite know how it'll all shake out, but I do know that we're going to need to redo the front page.

I think a site redesign to make it less old looking would be pretty swell. BZPower as far as I know remains to be the largest and most reputable Bionicle community and updating the visuals a tad might be something we need. Not the colors or anything too drastic, but maybe make it less information jammed and more styled? 

Thanks for posting the video here as I don't know that I would have come across it otherwise. I really enjoyed it. I found it to be reminiscent of MNOLG and some of the old Legend of Mata Nui videos. I don't think I've ever seen the 3D models of the mahi before. I could see this being used to make a great game or video. 

I'm glad you enjoyed it. I actually went about this project a very interesting way, making a modular piece library so that I could literally "build" the sets I wanted. Since Mahi use Tohunga arms, Pohatu's arms, Toa foot and the balls the only this I wasn't using elsewhere that I needed to make was Gali's hook! In theory, I could make any 2001 Bionicle using the parts library and making life for the island game would be quite simple. I also made Tahnok who isn't featured in the video. I really am planning on doing an "interactive adventure" someday, just not sure when. 

It's the internet and regardless of how awesome Bionicle is, I noticed first hand the MASSIVE divide when Hero Factory started on this forum. In fact, I left because of the hostility and the large amount of "Hero Factory sucks". 

Back in the old days it was old internet. Things were slower, people were friendlier and there was less of an idea of anonymity. So people seemed to get along more.

True, I love Bionicle and hope that people interact kindly with each other, but I'm afraid of what will happen to BZPower

That is very unfortunate, but thanks for the quick reply! I understand over 10 years of archives can be a lot to handle for the site  

It's all just too much. Images of the wobblers that are different in bw than in color and make more sense in color, box dimensions, the search function on LEGO suddenly linking to coming soon, then not! Not to mention Bionicle.com and Bioniclestory.com also did the same thing yesterday. Now they link to LEGO's front page? What started as "the usual hoax" is now more official than some people give it credit! There's no way this much dedication would go into a hoax like that and get everyone all worked up. If it turns out that is this all really fake, congrats to that guy. Otherwise, I'm not just on the hype train, I'm scooping coal into the furnace! 

Hey is there an archive of old BZPower stuff or is it just deleted? I made some fanfics and comics on here a long time ago and wanted to see if they were still around. I tried searching but no luck. Thanks!

I see Toa Mata-Nui (with hoverboard) listed on your haves. Are you sure you're not thinking of 8697 Toa Ignika? I don't think 8998 Toa Mata Nui or 8989 Mata Nui come with a hover board.

Whoops you're right! I meant the Toa Ignika. Silly me. Moot point anyways I'm taking it off the list for now

Hey there Gathered Friends!

Just let me know if you have or want anything! 

 

I would like to point out that phantoka has not revealed the source of his finding this out. Roughly 2 hours ago (10 pm est) I discovered this and posted on various sites upon which other sites reported they had found it out themselves afterwards. Here is my proof:

 

 

Not a huge deal, but I figured I'd point it out. The original post is on tumblr

I found my discovery from a thread on /toy/, where we've been discussing a possible return for a good chunk of the day. That's where an anonymous user found out and shared this exact image. I thought it'd be a good idea to let this site know as well.

 

Why does it matter where I was given this information anyways? Or is it because I'm the one to post it first? Honestly, I just wanted to share info. I've been doing it in the Leaked Policy topic for a few days.

 

Guess it doesn't really matter (I was "The Real Ryan Chapman" on /toy/ because I felt foolish that I forgot about my gmail being open.)

Hey guys! I was Daix back in the day. Did a few comics, speculations but mostly wasn't in the forefront. Now I plan to be more active if Bionicle REALLY is coming back. 

My apologies This thread can be pruned

Hey Bzpower-ers!

I've been here since 2005 and a fan since 2001 and I must say that I left after Bionicle was discontinued. Now that the rumors are that it's really coming back, here I am! I just wanted to say hi and have a spoiler free thread and get up to date on new people, old people, and really just how everyone's doing!
