I've a question for those of you with the drained masks that come with the Skull Skeletons, the gold/transparent colour blended ones. How much of a single mask is gold and how much of that same mask is transparent, for each of them? My drained Mask of Jungle is only really gold on the bottom 'jaw' piece and in between the eye holes , the rest of it is transparent green. The drained Mask of Earth I have, on the other hand, is only transparent purple above the eye holes - below them, it's gold. Same with the drained Mask of Ice - it's only transparent blue above the eye holes, and below them it's gold. The drained Mask of Stone is hard to describe, since right now it seems that the transparent neon green and gold are slightly harder to tell apart when they mix. It's gold around the front but both above and to the side of the eyes it's transparent neon green. Of the lot I have I think the Drained Stone and Jungle masks look the best. The Drained Earth mask is, well, a bit disappointing. I feel ambivalent towards the drained Mask of Ice. I feel nothing towards the Drained Mask of Water since it doesn't exist, and I feel meh towards the Drained Mask of Fire because it's completely transparent orange.

Discarded Introduction: When all hope seemed lost, Toa arrived on the island, in canisters, they went on a quest for their masks, they placed them on the suva, they gained their golden masks, they evolved, their masks evolved, as well. They conquered darkness, they left, the island was evacuated, the Toa left once more, going even farther from their masks, each losing connection to their respective suva. This is not their story, this is, rather, the story of those masks they left behind, the ones that were discarded. Chapter One: "Where am I?" he muttered internally, for he had no mouth of his own, "What is this place?" he questioned once more, he strained to open his eyes, but alas, it was in vain, he had none, it was then he remembered, he was a mask, a piece of armour meant to be worn on one's face. How then, could he think? He wondered, bewildered apon realizing that a simple piece of armour should not have an awareness of its own, he thought back, to see if he had memories...he did, he had memories of a tree, it was peaceful there, quiet, calm...he remembered it burning...he remembered being placed on the face of the one who'd destroyed his home, seeing, for the first time, through his eyes...he remembered getting stronger, a sudden surge of power and change of shape...he remembered the source of this power...he wondered if he could conquer it, bend it to help him in some way...he could feel the power, he could just reach out to it, if he'd had hands...if only he'd had hands...if only he'd had a body, he wanted a body, he wanted the power...he felt the power in his metaphorical clutch...he drained the power, sending it to himself, a surge of power came out from himself, he suddenly realized, gleefully, he had eyes, he could see, he could see the red elemental energy pulling forth metals from all over Ta-Wahi, he could feel it, he was the energy, the energy was his. He forced it to his will, and it obeyed, without thought, he was powerful, he felt his energy bring the metals to himself, he felt it, caused it to, attach them to one another, forming a body, a body, he'd soon have a body. He was overjoyed, for the first time since the peace of that tree, he was happy. The body was almost completed, it had no face, he reached out with the hands of his body, straining to do so through elemental power alone, and grabbed himself, putting himself on the body, in place of a face, he felt himself change once more, this time, not just the mask that was him, but his entire body, he felt his face revert to its original form, and he felt the amalgamation of metals that was his body solidify, into, a work of art, almost, he looked down at himself, no longer straining to move the heavy limbs through elemental strength, the pistons, the muscles, were his, and he commanded them. He raised his arms in triumph, shouting with glee, he covered his mouth...he had a mouth, he could speak, he was no longer a blind, mute, inanimate piece of armour situated on another man's face, he was now a being in his own right, all these thoughts and more soared through his head, and so overjoyed he was, he didn't realize he was floating. When he'd finally calmed himself down enough to be aware of his surroundings, he realized his feet weren't touching the ground, he looked behind himself, and realized he had wings, bronze, flapping, beautiful wings, he was flying...he was flying, he was a discarded Kanohi mask, and he could see, he could speak, he could walk, he could run, he could fly. Surely, this must be a dream, he slapped himself to see if it hurt...he felt pain...he'd never been wounded before, pain hurt, he decided...but this was no dream, he had a body, and he was flying, "I AM THE BRONZE JET!!!" he proclaimed to himself, the top of his previously non-existent lungs, a simple phrase, quite bizarre, admittedly, but with his first words, he'd named himself, and he regretted it not.

So, recently I have been trying to work out the mechanics of the G2 masks, seeing as they seem to differ quite a bit from G1 Kanohi (in particular, how you can drain a Toa's own energy through their mask). What I recently realised is that the G2 Golden Toa Masks work in almost exactly the same way as the Nuva Symbols of G1. -The Golden Masks appear to grant the Toa their elemental powers, while the Nuva Symbols did the same for the Nuva. -When the Toa have their Golden Masks removed in G2, they lose their elemental powers. The same happens in G1 when the Nuva Symbols are stolen. -In G2, there is a "special link between master and mask" (according to Pohatu) which means that a Toa's energy can be forcefully drained through their mask. In G1, the Toa are able to feed their energy to the Bohrok Kal through the Nuva Symbols, which is arguably just a voluntary version of the same thing. (The only thing about the G2 Golden Masks that is familiar as something from G1 Kanohi is that when a Toa wears no mask, they are physically weakened, as we see when Lewa faints immediately after losing his mask. This seems to be why the Toa need to wear their non-Golden Masks when they arrive on Okoto, even though they display no powers.) My question is; do you think all G2 masks function like Nuva Symbols, or is the way the Golden Toa Masks work unique? (Similar to their unique psychic link to Ekimu?) Also, could the half-trans effect on the drained masks actually imply the Toa being low on energy, as they seem to be the Golden Masks' energy source, rather than the root problem being with the masks? (Could the same logic be applied to half-trans Protector masks, but with the depleted energy source being the surrounding area?)

First off, let me preface this by saying that I know this is not canon, nor will it ever be. This is just something fun I've been thinking about for a while now. So, the Kakama increases the user's speed, while the Vahi speeds up or slows down time around the user. Everyone else moves at the same speed, unless you are sharing your Kakama Nuva with your friends. Both the Kakama and the Adapted Kakama Nuva have a similar design to the Vahi, at least on their lower areas. Also note that Pohatu suddenly changed to orange for the appearance with the most Vahi-like mask. So could they be the same mask? Is the Vahi just a Kakama variant, or vice versa?

So, seeing as it's a bit silly for me to keep making new posts every time I do something, I'm just going to be putting everything into this collection from now on. Only the stuff I like the best though. Let's start off with some masks from Brickfair VA 2015. Next up, some fully painted toa. And lastly some masks that I probably already have in other posts I've made, but I'll put here anyway. UPDATE: More masks now, including another tribal set! A pair of conversions as well And of course, several G2 masks. Also, for additional views/if you want more timely updates I have a DeviantArt, a Flickr, and a Tumblr. If you would be interested in commissioning a mask from me I have a site for that here.

I'm still waiting for my Hero Pack to show up, which includes what I consider to be the Okoto Vahi mask. As soon as I get it, I will post pictures of the MOC that goes with it, Betrii. Betrii was a citizen of the City of the Mask Makers that survived the Ekimu/Makuta incident. She did whatever she could to survive, avoiding Skull Spiders with her ninja-like moves and skills. She considers herself a 'Toa of Shadow'. After Ekimu was awakened, he gave Betrii the Vahi to protect and use in dire situations. So far, Skull Grinder has not managed to capture her or the legendary Mask of Time. She is quiet and only speaks when necessary. Betrii is not cold or stuck-up like Ko-Koronans, though. She is very resourceful and can adapt to almost any weapon, but she prefers her spear and shield. Her Pakari mask is not as powerful as a Toa's, but it still makes her stronger than usual. That is about all I've come up with. I'm not sure I like the name, which is pronounced beh-TREE. My Hero Pack is supposed to arrive tomorrow, so pictures will be here soon! Delays with the shipping, so forget the Hero Pack! Betrii with her primary weapons No weapons + ninja pose The back. The gear function still works, despite that black shell being so close to it. Betrii's legendary shield I can take more pictures if requested.

So, we currently have 5 BIONICLE masks from the reboot that have no story significance thus far. (Trans-Orange Tahu, Trans Tahu, Trans-Blue Gali, Trans-Lime Bull Skull, Gold Grinder/Warrior.) Do you think they will ever have meaning in the story, or will they remain just cool exclusives? Are the transparent Toa masks related to the Skull Villains draining their power? Will Kulta gain power through a Golden Mask? Let me know! I think that the trans-orange Tahu mask and the trans-blue Gali mask are more powerful versions of the Golden Masks. The Golden Masks are apparently made of raw magic and pure gold, and it seems the Skull Villains just strip away the gold, leaving more power for the Toa. I don't think the transparent Tahu mask is anything special, though. Edit: Double post merged. -Wind-

This is an epic I'll be trying to work on over the next couple weeks, hopefully adding chapters as my college life allows me to. It's based in the current summer wave, both following and deviating from the plot bits we've been given at certain points. Hope you all enjoy! -------------------------------- Ch. 1 The City of the Mask Makers. Once, it was a bustling metropolis, busy with the hustle and bustle of the many Protectors of the ancient island of Okoto, and their great leaders, Ekimu and Makuta. The two brothers would work late into the night, forging masks for the denizens of the island, until Makuta’s envy spelled disaster for both himself and his brother. In a cataclysmic display of power, both brothers were knocked into an endless slumber. Ekimu was laid to rest in the city’s heart by the villages’ Protectors, while Makuta’s form was never found. Some think he was simply destroyed during the duel with his brother, but others believe his evil still resides in the cities ruins, slumbering, waiting for revenge. Many have begun to believe that rumor as the Skull Spiders began their reign of terror across the island, appearing within the city and driving the citizens of Okoto from their home. Vile arachnid creatures with an uncanny ability to control a being through their hive mind if given the chance to latch onto the being's face, creating a skull-like visage. Each village’s protector fought to defend their people, but could only help them retreat, to have to fight another day in the same helpless situation. Finally, in one final act of desperation, the Protectors assembled and performed the ritual of Time, summoning legendary heroes to their island-home through space and time itself. Through luck, persistence, and the Protector’s guidance, these heroes, known as Toa, hunted down artifacts of incredible power, golden masks forged by Ekimu before his ill-fated slumber and rich with elemental power. Brought together for the first time at the ruined gate of the City of the Mask Makers, the Toa found strength in unity and defeated what they thought was Okoto’s greatest evil, in the form of a monstrous Skull Spider, their Lord and leader. As the team of six elemental masters stood over-looking the bridge from which the Lord of Skull Spiders had met its fate, an ancient voice echoed through them. The sound did not resonate in their ears, but instead, their minds as their golden masks warmed against their metallic faces. “Great Toa, I am the voice of Ekimu. The ripple from your power has awoken my mind from it’s slumber, but you must find my resting place within the city to fully free me. Make haste…” Toa Lewa, the youngest of the team, clad in a silver and emerald armor that resembled the Jungle element he wielded, spoke up once the voice faded. “Well…that’s certainly not strange-mysterious at all. Are we actually going in THERE?” The Master of Jungle rose a silver-clad hand and pointed towards the mist-covered city. Nature itself had claimed the city almost more so than the Skull spiders had, moss and weeds cracking stone and adding a green tint to the brown stone ruins. Only wisps and shadows could be seen beneath the mists, leaving the naked eye to search for coherence in the swirling shades of grey and black. Gali, the Master of Water, smiled beneath her curved mask of gold, and replied in her smooth voice. “Yes, we are. Don’t tell me the great Toa of Jungle is afraid?” “No, Sister, the Toa-Hero of Jungle isn’t scared-afraid. He’s simply…wanting to be wary-careful.” The Toa of Ice, in his usual cold manner, rolled his crystal-blue eyes beneath his asymmetrical mask and remained silent. The air-headed Toa of jungle was trying to defend his ego, as always, and the city was holding the Ice Masters attention more so anyway. He blinked a few times, the telescope-device worked into the right side of his mask magnifying his view of the city, and Kopaka slowly panned across the ruins’ peaks. At first, only fog met his vision…but shape that wasn’t a broken tower or hanging mass caught his eye, only to disappear again when he blinked. Gali, in her usual fashion, seemed to pick up on the Toa of Ice’s sudden mood change and a soft touch met his golden pauldron. Kopaka tore his gaze from the city and met her warm, yellow eyes with his cold ones. “Kopaka, what is it?” She asked, her tone soft now, losing the teasing tone from Lewa, who was now arguing over the Master of Earth about the distance the Spider Lord had fallen from the bridge and the possibility of it being fatal. The Master of Ice replied in his quiet, chilly voice. “I…believe I saw something in the mists. It could be nothing, but…” “We will investigate, Brother. We will uncover this cities mystery, together, as a team.” Kopaka didn’t smile, the physical act wasn’t a practice he made a habit of, but her voice did quell some of the unease he felt, to a degree. She was the only member of the team who either didn’t look at Kopaka’s perfectionist attitude as cold, so he found a form of…understanding from her. Nodding without a word, he turned his gaze back to the city. The Master of Fire, Tahu, gripped his twin FlameSwords more tightly, their cores flickering like burning embers, and started forward, his voice strong like the flame itself. “We have conquered this Island's greatest evil. Surely whatever hides in the shadows of this city cannot hope to threaten us. As our sister has said, united, we are unstoppable.” The Master of Stone’s yellow eyes looked to Tahu, then back at the large gate ahead of them. Being attuned to the very stone they stood upon, Pohatu was not quite so convinced. He could feel vibrations through the stones, tiny kinetic waves passed through the stone of the city and rippled up through his bronze and silver body…but what caused them? Skull Spiders did not have foot-steps, or that would take away their element of surprise. “I don’t like this place, Tahu… Something foul lies in that city, something I don’t think we’ve seen before.” Tahu stopped and looked back at Pohatu at the sound of his grating stone-like voice. The Master of Stone was the bravest, most durable of them, and even he seemed…wary. Tahu frowned then…The Prophecy had deemed him the leader of this team of heroes, but he was still struggling at times to find a decision that was in the best interest of them all. To his luck, the hulking Master of Earth put a hand on Pohatu’s shoulder and spoke, though his own voice like a rumbling earth-quake, it was also light and confident. “Ekimu trusted this fate to us and to us alone. He would not have if he did not think us capable of the task, brothers and sister. We will face what this city has to throw at us, and for better or worse, we will come out the other side together.” None of the Toa could argue with that and moved forward towards the ruined city and its mysteries. Ch. 2 A pair of red eyes watched the Toa enter the cities gates from atop one of the many spires, and the being had to bite back a fit of laughter. These “heroes” moved as a group, which would make them easy to track, easy to predict. As much as the being wished to simply leap down upon them and pursue, he knew in the back of his shattered mind that HE would not approve of that. He always wanted to be informed of what was going on… Tearing his eyes from the group, Keretor expertly crawled down from his perch, four hands clutching at rocks and out-cropping’s in the tower as he made his way to the street level. Also known as the Skull Slicer, Keretor bound on thin, skeletal legs towards the city’s center, four arms tucked close to his exposed ribs as to improve movement. Somewhere in the storm of thoughts in his skull, he remembered running through the halls of an arena, hearing hundreds of fans cheering his name after each victory, over and over…then pain, darkness, a war in his mind…then the rest was an incoherent blur, up until his death and resurrection by Kulta, or as he was more commonly known, the Skull Grinder. For once, his mind collected on the memory of only a few months ago. He remembered pain, as if his bones were being clicked back into place, and a fire burning through him that woke Keretor from the eternal peace of death. While Kulta’s resurrection power had reanimated his body, his mind was left more in tatters then when he’d met his end. The only shreds of sanity he could remember clearly were two simple objectives; Obey Kulta, and retrieve the Golden Masks. The rest, well…The Grinder had been delightfully vague on. Finally, taking a turn around a sharp corner, the Slicer came to such an abrupt halt that the hook-swords across his back banged against his deep-green bones and armor with a solid clang. The sound raised the attention of the towering mass of bone and armor at the far end of the torch-lit room. Translucent-red ribs and armor reflected the fire-light as he turned to look down upon the Slicer, similarly red eyes seeming to radiate malevolence. Keretor instantly dropped to his bony knees, all four arms tucked under him in a bow as Kulta stepped over to him to hear his report. The Grinder easily stood atleast a solid five feet over the Slicer, and was twice as wide, despite being as skeletal as Keretor himself. The brute’s armor made up for the lack of physical mass though, covering most of the creature’s silver bones. “Keretor…” His voice was twisted, evil, echoing from his horned skull…yet it carried a certain collected tone to it, betraying the visage of death and destruction. “Usually it takes quite the effort to drag you away from sticking my Skull Spiders to the walls with your swords and listening to them scream, so what brings you to my chambers?” It took the Slicer a few minutes to cackle his way into coherence, but finally, he spoke, his voice shrill and high-pitched. “Heeeehahaha… The Toa, my Lord, they’ve entered the cities gates, hahaha…and they have the Golden Masks, like you predicted…eehehaha…” The Lord of the Skull creatures would’ve frowned if he had any flesh or mechanical parts left to do so, and he turned his back to the chuckling Slicer, looking back at the glowing trophy he had resting upon a pedestal at the center of the Chamber. The ornately-designed Mask of Creation rippled with raw power, its crown-like visage staring back at Kulta. It was one of the reasons the Toa had come to this ruined city, and surely, that wretched Mask Maker would lead them right to it. Rather than a threat, Kulta saw an opportunity… He already had one of the greatest masks in existence, only three remained out of his reach, but if he could get the Golden Masks from the Toa themselves, he could use them to empower the greatest of his undead creations. He would simply let the Toa wander into his claws of their own power. “Keretor, stall the Toa. Use whatever means you wish, but make sure you try to get one of the masks in the process… severed limbs won’t achieve our goals.” The Slicer snickered to himself, and stood, four hands clasping together in excitement for what was to come. The green-armored undead’s mind was racing now with all the different ways it could RIP one of those perfect little masks away from the Toa, all the glorious ways he could make them scream…when Kulta’s next command caught him off-guard. “And Keretor… once you disorient them, I want you to lead them back towards the Arena. The others will be waiting to assist you…” “But, my Lord…I can defeat them on my own, I will make them quiver in fear and-!” The Grinder turned back to Keretor, and stalked over to him, long skeletal legs carrying him the distance within a few strides, and clutched the Slicer by his skeletal neck, holding him off his skeletal feet with ease. The poor victim’s four arms were useless at trying to pry Kulta’s grip from his vertebrae. “You will do as I have commanded you, Keretor, or I will send you back into the black oblivion I tore you from and use your remains to feed the Warriors…Am I understood?” All the Slicer could do was nod, still chuckling to him, though not quite as whole-heartedly as before. Kulta threw him back towards the gate with a simple swing of the arm, and walked back over to the pedestal holding the mask, the sound of Keretor scampering back towards the city streets echoing through the halls. The mask of Creations golden glow reflected off Kulta’s silver-chrome bones, and the Grinder ran a clawed hand across its engraved surface…Yes, the Toa would come to him, in time, and he’d give them a proper welcome. Every current resident of the City would…

Okay so I have a bit of confusion on the Gen 2 mask powers... So I know they're technically not Kanohi and we don't have the powers of speed, shielding etc. From what it seems we know so far, the toa masks are what give the toa their elemental powers. However what I'm not sure of is the Gold masks purpose. Are they just giving them stronger elemental powers or just elemental powers to begin with, with their regular ones not really doing anything. I feel like I've heard it both ways somewhere. Also are the main protectors masks powered? Like do they also have access to elemental powers and maybe that's what powers their blasters? If anyone knows the for sure answers on these please let me know!

Last night I was bored and seeing how each Masters looked wearing their different masks. And I think I like the regular colors just a bit more. And I thought I would ask you guys. What do you guys think?

Old school Bionicle fan here! I’m trying to collect all the new sets. I bought all the current Spring sets and the hero packs. Are there any limited edition sets that are more difficult to find? I swear I read somewhere that there are special limited edition masks that were released earlier this year. Is this true and where can I find these masks? The comics have not returned to the lego magazine, correct? Thanks BZP people,

So I have been looking for inspiration for custom bionicle masks lately(I'm talking all new masks, not repaints), so feel free to post pictures and discuss custom masks below! What methods do you prefer? 3d printed, clay, or the ol' cut and superglue method(my personal favorite)?
-
So with the return of Bionicle, and the collectibles that have come with it (trans red Hau, clear Hau, gold masks), what other fun collectible ideas would you like to see? An obvious choice would be mask packs with different coloured Toa masks, like in 01, but I personally would like to see chrome plastic gold versions of the real gold masks, like the gold C-3PO figures. They would come in polybags with their own build-able podiums. Because not all of us would be able to afford the real deal glorious gold ones.

The question is pretty much the topic title: Did the Toa have their masks swapped during the design period of 2001? If we look at early artwork of 2001 done by Christian Faber, we can see an awakening Tahu on the golden beach putting on a Miru instead of a Hau, and at the 2001 Toy Fair reveal, the prototype Kopaka was wearing a white Hau instead of an Akaku. Additionally, early artwork of the Doo Heads shows Kick with a head that appears to be very similar to a Kaukau, and Flame with a head similar to the noble Huna. So again, did the Toa have their masks swapped during the design period of 2001?

(It is the best as decided by me) The Inika masks were alive, but the story pretty much never acknowledged that. Of course, being alive, these masks had their own FEELINGS and EMOTIONS and THOUGHTS, right? Of course they did. They're ALIVE! And of course, they're masks so they can use themselves. Clearly they messed with the Inika and of course they communicated by talking via 'projecting' their own thoughts into the Inika's heads. So the Inika tended to use their masks involuntarily because of this, at inopportune times. Matoro saw inside Jaller's stomach, Nuparu dropped from the sky, Hahli's Elda wouldn't stop laughing at giving her headaches, Kongu's Suletu wouldn't stop reading the minds of the people he didn't want to read the minds of, constantly disgusting him.

I made original rack in 2008, first it was more simple without any Vahi, gold Ignika, Kraahkan, Hau. The biggest rebuild I made week ago, changing it and fixing few things. Today come to me gold Vahi and Kraaahkan that I'm order from Bricklink. Main idea is to add all the most characteristic and powerful Masks from original Bionicle. So it almost completed. That head on top is place holder for Mask of Creation, when it comes out finally. Because MoC was in original story and beside I want to have 3 Gold Legendary Masks. That's why I rather not plan to add MoUP if it ever come out. Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/dlSg0 Update: So, I rebuild it to bigger form, and added some masks. Top place is for MoC. Left handle is for movie version of Kraahkan. Silver Hau is placeholder for chrome Hau. Gallery: http://imgur.com/gallery/feSaR Update v2: So, everything I wanted is now on place. Movie Kraahkan added, Chrome Hau added, and MoC added! Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/EPxGg- 16 replies

I want this to be a thing, please, let there be mask packs or at least some other type of way to get the 2015 masks recolored. I want to do an updated self-MOC and I think the new masks look pretty cool. Opinions/ideas, anyone?

I am selling roughly 70 pounds of Bionicles (I stood on the scale to figure it out). Short story? I grew up playing/collecting/trading/etc. but I haven't played with them in years and I do not have time to individually list them on Bricklink and go to the post office every other day. There are roughly 100 figures in this lot. I have instructions (as pictured) but that isn't a good gauge for the lot. For example, I do not have the gold color piraka mask/spine. I traded it when I was 14 with a friend for who knows what. Also, there are at least 2 Sidoraks in there, but I can't find the instructions. And so on and so on. I got some of the sets via clearance, ebay, bricklink, garage sales, Christmas, begging, prayer, etc. I am 99% sure all of the broken and modified pieces are separated from the lot. I went through to make sure. I am also 99% sure that all of the pieces have been washed at least once (my mom was a germaphobe). I was the kind of kid that liked to build figures and put them on the mantle (no joke). Occasionally I would enter them into our local fair's hobby show, but that is off the point. (Now note, the rubber bands have fallen apart/dissolved due to age) Rare masks, some instructions, good condition, LOTS of pieces, etc.I am looking for $750. Make offers, negotiate, discuss, ask lots of questions, etc.Because of the size of the lot I was planning on covering shipping. I have no idea how high it will be and that will depend on the buyer any way. I am NOT wanting to trade, divide the lot, etc. I am wanting some spending money for my wife this Christmas. $750 might seem steep; however, I grew up with an older brother who ran a bricklink store for years. Because of this I would help package, list, count, price, etc. Through those experiences I got a feel for pricing and $750 is reasonable, not a steal, but reasonable.Also, on ebay a pound of Bionicles seemed to go for about $10 a pound for plane jane pieces, so 70 x $10 of not so plane jane pieces + I'll cover the shipping = my reasoning. lol. Anyways, please ask me questions.

So, if you've noticed, the Masks of Power are rather bland. There's a Mask of Fire, Water, Jungle, etc. etc. But then there's the Masks of Creation and Control, which aren't elemental. So, here's my theory. Other teams of Masters have different mask abilities. The Protectors all probably have the "noble" form of a certain type of mask (perhaps this gen's equivalent of a Kanohi Hau) and the Golden Masks each contain different mask abilities akin to those of the original masks (though I'd assume that the Golden Jungle and Golden Water masks don't have levitation and water-breathing, since Lewa can already fly and I'll bet you that Gali can already breathe underwater) When Wave 2 comes out with whatever new Toa we'll be seeing, they'll probably go back to whatever mask they were using in Gen 1. I suppose the only reason to have an elemental mask is to enhance your natural powers. What do you think?

I'm relatively optimistic about the reboot. One of the strong points of the new Toa are(with one or two exceptions) the mask designs. However, as we all know by now the masks are not compatible with Gen1 heads. I understand why a change in system might be called for, but I do wish that the new masks could be used for Gen1 Bionicles, and that I could put Gen1 masks on Gen2 toa. So anyway, what are all of your thoughts on the new mack system and it's lack of compatibility?
