Makuta_of_Oz

tbh I was expecting Bionicle to more likely return in 2016 than 2015. Thrilled to see it's coming back earlier.

 

 

No matter what happens, though, I have faith that Greg Farshtey will know how to do it right.

 

 

Really? I have faith that if Greg is as involved in the story as he was in the later years, it will become a tangled trainwreck again.

 

I couldn't agree more.

 

Implying he doesn't learn from mistakes... :/

 

I just pray it's not a reboot.

For somebody who has so passionately campaigned for the LEGO Group to bring the theme back I'm kind of surprised you'd be so particular about what form you want the new story to take. What would be wrong with a reboot, honestly? It's the best chance the theme might ever have of regaining its former glory and enthralling a new generation of fans.

 

It's not like a rebooted storyline would be completely foolproof (you'd have to rethink a lot of things up to and including how the big story engine is revealed), but I still can't really fathom why so many people are so vehemently opposed to the idea of a reboot on principle.

 

I do know the saying "Be careful what you wish for because you might get it", but the main focus with the campaign for my part was just to bring the sets back for long enough to cover the difference between its cancellation and the end of its 10th anniversary, ie. a year and a half. Even then, though, I still have personal preferences, but won't complain TOO much if it is a reboot.

No matter what happens, though, I have faith that Greg Farshtey will know how to do it right.

Sometimes when I become overwhelmed with emotion, my emotions shut down. Is that how I feel now? Though I WILL admit I jumped out of my skin when I saw the news on Twitter last night just before I went to bed.

Still, I'd rather wait for an official announcement from LEGO because my campaign truly declares victory.

I just pray it's not a reboot.

That's no prototype. You can make Kapura using McToran Jaller's body and arms, Tahnok Va's feet and a misprint red Ruru.

I wonder all the time who the main villain would be.

My guess is that the Shadowed One will be the main villain. He has the name for it, he has the goons for it, and set-wise his goons are able to keep builds fresh and avoid falling into the trap of clone sets.

I really want to see the baterra and Sisters Of The Skrall as sets. Artakha and more Toa, Makuta and Dark Hunters would also be awesome.

Depends. Is Pohatu wearing his Mask Of Speed?

Does the Antidermis pool Axonn and Brutaka went to destroy still exist? If so, can it still create new Makuta?

tbh I was anticipating it coming to an end, just not as soon as it did.

 

I mean, what if the leaks are legit?

So if I tell you that they are, does that make you not want to see them?

 

I as an individual am a spoiler addict, but people who avoid spoilers don't want to take that risk. They may not want to see the leaked images in case they turn out to be legit.

 

Artahka pretty much torpedoes the villain part

It's Artakha, so technically no.

 

It's been theorized that "ahk" means something like "being", and does not always mean evil, but yes, that is almost certainly intentional.

 

So by that logic, "Great Being" could be "Ahknui"?

I think it works in a similar way to the spoiler rule; some people come on BZP not wanting to be spoiled. I mean, what if the leaks are legit?

1. A new story on Spherus Magna, shortly after, but not immediately after, the 2010/2011 story. Greg has thought ahead and started up a number of possibilities for fresh new stories that don't have to be connected to the past.

2. Definitely finish the serials for the older fans. Possibly do what was done with Empire Of The Skrall/The Legend Reborn regarding Tuma's injury and maybe link the serials' events to the new story's situation.

3. As a continuation, so much could work regarding villains. The Shadowed One... the gold-skinned being... or someone brand new.

I asked Greg my question the other day and got this reply:

You can do it from the LEGO homepage too.

OK, so what I meant by a reboot was one with absolutely NO ties to the original story. Different universe, different canon, different everything.

By "continuation" I meant a new story set in the future with the same canon. Not necessarily the immediate future, but still after the events of the Battle Of Bara Magna.

Ignoring all the evidence we've seen thus far, what kind of story would you prefer should Bionicle come back?

Close if dupe. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if it was.

Is Tahu able to take off the Golden Armour? If so, would he lose the Makuta powers granted to him if a piece did fall off?

They could've substituted the baterra. The Bohrok were based off them AND they were going to be 2010 sets before they decided to ban the toyline.

Krakua!

Pieces and instructions already exist for that one, since he was fan-created canon from a Toa-building competition, so I won't add him.

With the recent rumours flying around of Bionicle's return next year, I decided I'd take the opportunity to once again make this tally.

Once again, I ask members what pre-existing Bionicle characters they would like LEGO to one day make as sets. And once again, I will be watching the thread and keeping a tally.

Remember, you can answer with characters that are or aren't on the list so far. No limits.

While most people think Miserix is the only Makuta left, I think there may be others that still exist. Here's my reason for thinking so:

Once upon a time, Makuta were biomechanical beings just like any other MU species. I believe this means that Makuta that died prior to the evolution to gas in armour would have been teleported to the Red Star and repaired like any other biomechanical being.

For this reason, I believe at least five Makuta may be alive inside the Red Star. The Makuta in question are the five Makuta who sided with Miserix when Teridax overthrew him. Teridax ordered all five of them killed, and their masks hung on the walls of Destral as trophies. Depending on how they were killed, they may have been teleported to the Red Star after death for repairs, and then trapped there after that infamous teleporter malfunction.

In addition, some Makuta were known to have died while dispatched on missions. Some of them may have died before the evolution, meaning they too would have been repaired inside the Red Star.

However, Kojol and the Makuta killed by Zaria would not be among these Makuta, because they are both proven to have died after evolution. Kojol had his evolved essence incinerated in a Xian furness, while the Makuta killed by Zaria was hunting him because of the evolution, which made their kind vulnerable to Toa of Iron such as Zaria.

Are there any details I'm missing? Any feedback to disprove my theory? C&C welcome.

I don't know, but needless to say I'm watching with interest.

I saw the pics. Not entirely convincing, but still worth adding to my website.
