Tanu Toa of Earth

Cool. :)A general Great Being boss would be cool, but it would require an idea of what Great Beings look like. They could build minions, turrets, and stuff, and have the ability to teleport. THAT would be awesome IMO.

...Out comes an obscure type of serrated sword used by a random species that lived in the Southern Islands that is made from protosteel.In goes that sword. It is destroyed and nothing comes out.In goes a noble Arthron.

...out comes a copy of the Matoran Universe and all who lived in it.In goes Teridax... ( I'm sure someone else threw him in on this topic, but I don't care! XD)

Out goes Ackar and Gelu. :cheesy:In goes a small chunk of the Matoran Universe Robot's head that broke off when it got its head hit with a moon.

If it was really so, then why do ALL known Matoran in a particular locale (Karzatoran not included for obvious reasons) look the same? Metru Nui, Karda Nui, the Southern Continent (as far as we know at least)...Maybe it's just a trend-type thing?Also, speaking of this, did the "2003-form" "Matatoran" rebuild themselves AGAIN when they returned to Metru-Nui?

Yikes, time travel... Unless done properly it causes sticky inconsistency splatters all over the floor. I just hope that it WAS well-thought-out and it'll be explained next episode.

It's given most people a "false" sense of hope, Axel. This is BZPower, learn to deal with it. I'm not the smartest person regarding this kind of thing, so I'm not going to bother with my reply as to whether the hopes are really false or not, but.... nearly everyone searches around for some hope to hold on to regarding BIONICLE, and I've learned to expect it by now.

You know what's REALLY fun in this game? A Toa of Air in Ta-Koro with an ice gun and a Kanohi of Quick Travel. It'll be even better once all the air abilities are filled in. For now, with that setup, you can just camp on spawn and throw tornadoes if necessary, or you can teleport behind an enemy (or above them!), shoot them, then send them flying a few time (they usually die.). You can also use your Kanohi to fly, though it drains energy. Using the tornado attack to block projectiles is fun too. Another cool one is a Toa of Gravity with a Kakama, and an ice weapon--- you can guess what that's for.Basically kills most Rahkshi really easily... and you get a HUGE boost to the surface of the water map if you run towards the slope on the side of the water with the Kakama active. It's a lot of fun to sit just above the water's surface and dunk your enemies... :PI'll update this post with other fun or cool combos as I get them...

I personally don't mind Hero Factory just because I can pick up a few HF sets, mix-n-match until I have some cool-looking custom Heroes, then have a bit of light fun with my little brother--- however, as far as the story, the idea of mass-produced "living robots" is OK, but BIONICLE was far more unique and I don't mind the idea of enemies that basically control all the main forces of evil. Having destined normal citizens is totally fine to me. And as far as the names... you don't see very many foreign names in Hero Factory do you? All of them are just English words or twists on English words... Acceptable in LEGO Universe, acceptable in suitably small amounts in BIONICLE (Jetrax wasn't that great though. :| ), acceptable in LEGO themes where the characters aren't actually that important (Agents, Power Miners, etc.), but not acceptable in this outrageous amount in BIONICLE's replacement.Especially... Speeda Demon? Really?

Or, it's possible that the mask just wouldn't work properly (or at all).

When are you bringing back BIONICLE? Do you guys plan on using more BIONICLE parts in Hero Factory sets? When will a new LEGO Castle wave/line come out?

Hmm... Makes me think of CTF in multiplayer... That would be pretty cool.

Indeed.

Probably the Golden Peaks are just one of the borders between Ninjago and Everywhere Else. I imagined them as being outside of Ninjago altogether, but if you say they're in Ninjago then that's the only real possibility, since Ninjago was most likely a huge, empty, flat desert or something before it was "created." (I usually think of Ninjago as a "realm" more than a whole planet.)

That's pretty cool, besides the fact that it looks like a hero missing its core from the front. I always like green and black...

I like the idea of custom bodies, but this MOC doesn't look as good as a standard, boring Toa build (maybe utilizing the Antroz technique to implement the wings) with equivalent gear would would. Try to do proportions at least a BIT better when making custom bodies. As it is, his neck, limbs and body make his mask seem huge and some of the colors are a bit odd too.

It's hard for me to be constructive about those other Toa in that last picture, especially the green one (Windblade?)> Ugh.However, I like the build for this one... very original. Basically, the only major problems are that the legs need more red, and that if there's a way to hide some of those Technic bits that are sticking out then you should probably do so.

Woot woot woot, Rayg for the win! YAYYAYYAYAYAYAYAY...Aaaanyway.Nice game. I love all the customizability.... And I can't wait for some more of the element abilities and things to be filled in! The ability to "charge" neutral weapons sounds great too.

How do you know?I believe that he's assuming that because it's based off of the LEGO Minifigures series, and it's a second try after a flop... Seems possible, but we'll have to see!

Exactly right.Also, I don't get you guys saying this is surprising. If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. (But in a different way lol. )Selfishly I soooooo hoped they would bring back LU but with a more successful financial model, advertising in better places, etc. but ah well. The biggest problem with LU was that it WAS worth the money, but you had to SPEND the money first to find that out. (As I did, 'cuz I was bored enough lol.) Of course you could kinda say the same about CD games back in the day like LEGO Island, but yeah.The biggest awesomeness about LU ironically was the innovative villainry concept (it could actually work without being multiplayer at all for the most part). I hope this will have something remotely comparable, not just a pure social game as that would be boring. Anyways, interesting. I agree completely... Really the way I see it Lego Universe "failed" because of rate of update and because of the EXTREMELY limited Free to Play. IMO, if you were allowed to go to Nimbus Station and actually choose a faction, then more people would actually subscribe to go to the charming Pirate and awesome Ninja worlds, and eventually the Nexus Tower and Crux Prime.But anyway, back on topic, I really hope that this game has a similar formula of being family friendly but at the same time cool enough for 11-14-year-olds, and with LOADS of customization and building. If this is just "Go around, do boring things for points of some kind, collect minifig item sets with those points, observe second-rate pop culture references, hang out with "friends," struggle with limited chat, play ###### minigames, hang out some more, wish you had more money for some _____ to obtain access to _____ item/world/area/etc. that you need for _____ and so on..."

Excuse the HUGE quote (and the fact that I dropped a GREAT multiquote list for this), but.... Most of this (Pretty much all but the HF thing) I agree TOTALLY with. The only other thing would be the Mistika blasters. I loved those. And Cordak blasters... Yeah, they suck, but ever tried them underwater? Actually pretty amusing, if still a fail. They shoot perfectly well but then the missiles float to the top. AND glatorian... see below.IMO after Metru Nui... wait no after 2004, the story was generally sinking, and so were the characters (until Bara Magna...). I never liked 2005 besides the Hagah and weapons (Mutations: the worst part about Bionicle IMO, besides possibly Nuva), Voya Nui was cool (If only the masks weren't weird...), Mahri Nui was implausible (Plus we got close to NOTHING about everyday life in their Matoran world, not even a game, just Hydruka and Airweed. How can they say that year was about Mahri Nui if Mahri Nui wasn't really included?), I didn't like the Karda Nui story (IMO Mata Nui shouldn't've died like that, if at all)... and then the Glatorian. I actually LIKED them. Although Bara Magna wasn't exactly New Mata Nui Island, it was done decently... including the robot battle. The only problem was how it was cut short. If there was actual time to do a better 2001-style two-sided approach, where Agori stories and Mata Nui/Glatorian stuff happened seperately and eventually converged, then (in the final year) bring in the Toa and MULTIPLE Makuta, then have a final battle. Or something.Anyway, truly on topic... I liked the Phantoka masks (but not the orange), I like brown, I like the Visorak (but I DO strongly dislike the Rahaga and Hordika), I LOVE keetorange, with gunmetal or not, I liked B:TLR, I liked the Glatorian (Metru heads would've been appreciated though, despite the possibilities opened up by top-mounting the "masks") and more stuff...

QFAT

Ehhhh, as far as Arthaka, I don't care either way. Lariska I want, Hagah totally, Barraki sure, Mutaka yeah, Toa Nidhiki would be nice, all other Toa... Sure... @Marvin: EP entity meaning in silver "Makuta" form I think. That would be pointless though...
