With the Adrenaline forms being added to the Toa/Masters, I finally decided to get some art done of Tahu ((2015)) with his Golden Mask going into Adrenaline mode, and here it as. Now as per the norm with my BIONICLE Art, its anime/humanized, but I placed the mask on so that way it looks BIONICLE as much as possible in my style.

Flickr | DeviantArt Back in August I doodled a quick sketch of Korgot, Protector of Earth while at family camp in West Virginia. Once I got back home I decided to redraw it with the actual set on hand for reference, and a couple days ago (after fixing some errors I saw with the proportions of her shoulder armor) I finally finished inking it. I tried to adhere to the same style as my previous drawing of Gali, Master of Water The Protector of Earth set is John Ho's design, but Ryder Windham, the author of the chapter book "Island of Lost Masks", helped popularize the character by deciding that the current Protector of Earth, Korgot, should be female. I tried to reflect that in this drawing without deviating from the set's distinctive muscular proportions. I think it's very cool that Bionicle characters' gender is no longer strictly tied to their element like it was in the theme's first generation, that one of the most powerful-looking Protectors is a woman, and that a character as strong and wise as Onua, Master of Earth, has a female mentor.

Did ya miss me? Which Toa's Which? A BIONICLE comedy by Me! Part 1 of the Lewa# Studios Holiday Series 2015-2016 It was another ordinary day in the Nuva Inn. Lewa was relaxing in his Manager's Suite while pretending to be doing work, Onua was breaking the fourth wall repeatedly, Pohatu was being dumb, Tahu was lighting the kitchen on fire, Takanuva was repairing said kitchen, Kopaka was janitating the hotel by himself, Gali was splitting into two people again, and Tava (the resident Toa of Pie) was amusing himself by spawning a pie waterfall ("pie-terfall?") into his mouth. Yep, like I said. Another ordinary day. "Hey everyone," said Gali1, walking in from the pool room. "I'm not Everyone! My name's Some Guy! It's like you can't tell one Po-Matoran from another," complained the Po-Matoran named Some Guy, who was standing in the lobby. He walked off in a huff. With a , Gali1 stared after him. Onua looked up from his computer. "Oh, hi Gali1. Yeah, Some Guy's been staying here all week. He's...a little sensitive." "A little?" echoed Gali1. Just then, Lewa's special edition solid gold Manager's Elevator dinged, and the Toa of Air emerged. "Emergency meeting in the computer room, guys! Quick! It's super-urgent!" Knowing Lewa, Gali1 was sure it was nowhere near as urgent as he was making it sound. But, after all, she had nothing better to do, and she was curious. "Fine, let's go," she agreed. "We have a computer room?" asked Onua. Lewa paused for a moment. "TAKANUVA!!" he called out. Five seconds later, the Toa of Light zapped the side of the 285th story, creating a computer room instantly. "See? Now we do." A few minutes later, all the Toa Nuva (plus Takanuva) (and Tava) had gone into the newly-created computer room. "Right," said Lewa as he started up the computer, "now that we're all here, I--hang on, we're missing someone!" The assembled Toa looked around, but didn't notice anyone in particular missing. "Gali1, where's your other half?" "Oh. She's out shopping, actually." "SHE BETTER NOT BE SPENDING ANY OF MY HARD-EARNED MONEY, YOU LITERALLY SPLIT-PERSONALITY TOA OF--" "No, she's using her own money. Don't make me drench you in water..." The manager huffed. "I hate water. Fine, we'll start without her.” Then, the Toa of Air looked over at where Takanuva and Tava were standing. “Hey, what are you two doing here?” Takanuva just shrugged, momentarily ignoring Tava, who was apparently trying to figure out how to bake a computer into a pie. “You said there was an emergency meeting, remember?” “Toa Nuva only.” “Wait, but you never sai--” Takanuva couldn’t finish his sentence because Lewa lifted his air katana and summoned a tornado that lifted both Toa of Light and Toa of Pie into the air and out the window. “NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooo…” “Ah.” added Kopaka unnecessarily. Gali1 stared after the two recently-defenestrated Toa for several moments before looking back at Lewa. “Well, that happened,” she observed. “Why did you want them to leave?” “Because this doesn’t involve them, that’s why! Anyway, look at this.” Lewa did something on the computer for several moments before bringing up the BIONICLE website. “Uhh, are you sure this isn’t going to destroy the space-time continuum or something?” asked Onua nervously. “I feel like this has to defy some law of logic.” “ “ Lewa emoticonned. “Stop ruining my big meeting! Look at this!” Everyone crowded around the computer screen, which was now displaying an image of the six 2015 versions of the assembled Toa. “Oooh,” said the Po-Matoran. “Will you get out of here!?” demanded Lewa, annoyed, as he sent Everyone the Po-Matoran out the window to join Takanuva and Tava. “That’s better. Check it out!” “Hey, that was my Halloween costume last year!” exclaimed Tahu with a . Gali1 thought about this for a moment. “That’s it! Lewa, you’re a genius!” “But I haven’t even told you my idea yet…” said Lewa. “Don’t have to. I’ve got it! We’ll all go as our 2015 versions for Halloween!” “Oh, is it Halloween already?” asked a very confused Pohatu. Regular Pohatu stared at the very confused Pohatu. “Where’d he come from?” Annoyed, Lewa just blew the very confused Pohatu out the window to join the cluster of random characters, leaving regular Pohatu behind. “Enough! My idea is--” “--a great one!” put in Tahu. “Except I already did that last year.” “I’m not talking about the Halloween thing, I’m talking about my idea, which I haven’t even had a chance to tell you! This has nothing to do with--” “--dressing up as ourselves,” Onua agreed, thinking he knew what Lewa had in mind. “Instead, we’ll confuse everyone by going as a different 2015 set version! For example, I might go as Lewa, and Lewa might go as Gali.” “I’m not dressing up as a girl!” At a glare from Gali, Lewa added, “Uhh...I mean…” “We can’t do that anyway because I just told you,” Onua explained. “We’ll dress up as different Toa.” “Sounds great, Onua!” said Gali. “Are we all agreed?” Kopaka shrugged. “Yes,” he said with his customary coldness. (pun not inten--oh, who am I kidding that was totally intentional) “!!oooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN” said Takanuva suddenly, inexplicably flying backwards through the window, which sealed itself up behind him. “So, what did I miss?” The rest of the Toa just shook their heads and sighed. This wasn’t the weirdest thing that had ever happened at the Nuva Inn. “Okay, are we all ready to go?” asked a Toa dressed in a 2015 Gali costume. “Ha, ha, you’re dressed like a girl!” teased someone dressed up like 2015 Kopaka. “ ” “How’s that funny? She always dresses like a girl because she is one,” said a 2015-Tahu-costumed Toa. “But Gali can’t be dressed up like Gali, that would defeat the purpose! It’s too easy to guess!” argued 2015 Kopaka. “Exactly,” 2015 Lewa pointed out. “Nobody WOULD guess that.” “Wait...so it’s actually the hardest to guess!” “No, I’m not actually Gali, that would just be dumb.” “Aww…” “Now remember,” continued the Toa dressed up like Gali, “it’s ‘trick-or-treat.’ NOT ‘burn-or-stuff,’ this means you, whichever one of you is Tahu!” “I’m Tahu!” said 2015 Tahu. “No you’re not,” said 2015 Gali, “you’re wearing a Tahu costume. That’s not the same thing.” “Yes it is…?” said 2015 Tahu, confused. The elevator dinged, and out popped someone wearing a 2015 Pohatu costume. “Okay, let’s go!” “You’re late,” observed 2015 Onua. “No I’m not; you’re all early.” The others groaned. “Whatever,” 2015 Onua said, “let’s just go.” The six costumed Toa opened the doors, greeted with the chilly air of a Metru Nui fall. As usual, the Le-Metru chutes were all dyed orange, and orange-colored Le-Matoran wandered about. New this year were transports painted to look like Fikou spiders, which shot through the tubes and gave the illusion of actual spiders moving about. “Huh. Beats Onu-Metru’s attempt at Fikou decorations,” observed 2015 Gali. “Except they weren’t even decorations…” “So, where should we go today?” asked 2015 Kopaka. “Let’s stay here. There’s plenty of huts in Le-Metru to visit,” said 2015 Pohatu. “But the chutes can take us anywhere!” protested 2015 Onua. “Don’t you want to explore the rest of the island? See what the other Metrus did for Halloween?” “No,” said 2015 Kopaka. Everyone looked around expectantly for a few moments. “It is weird hearing you say that.. I’m not used to leaving Takanuva behind,” observed 2015 Gali. "He says 'No.'" “I’m not the real Kopaka, anyway. Didn’t we discuss this earlier?” “ ” emoticonned 2015 Tahu. “YOU’RE NOT? MY WHOLE LIFE IS A LIE!!” They then proceeded to faint. The remaining still-conscious Toa were interrupted by an orange Le-Matoran running up to them. “Toa Lewa, Toa Lewa,” the Matoran said, addressing the Toa wearing the Lewa costume, “we quick-need your help! Tamaru-coward got stuck on the Moto-Hub top-roof and he can’t jump-come down! “I don’t like heights.” “What are you say-talking? You’re Toa Lewa! Come on, we need you!” The Matoran dragged 2015 Lewa away, over the costumed Toa’s protests. “Okay, which of you is the real Lewa?” asked 2015 Gali. “This is no time for jokes--Tamaru needs you to help!” After an awkward silence, 2015 Gali amended, “Fine. Whoever speaks next gets volunteered to rescue them.” 2015 Onua opened their mouth. “Well, the Moto-Hub isn’t far, we could--” “Great, thanks Lewa. Go rescue whoever’s dressed as you.” “But I’m not Lewa!” The other Toa, fed up by the real Lewa’s laziness and generally annoying personality by this point, just shoved them out of the circle. “Get out there and save them, and Tamaru!” Conveniently, Turaga Matau chose that exact moment to drive by in a transport that looked like it had been cobbled together from several Vahki, some chute pieces (obvious as they were bright orange), and an assortment of Turaga staffs. “Incoming!!” called the Turaga as he barreled into 2015 Onua, carrying them away. “Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!” “MATAU, WE’RE GETTING FAR TOO OLd for this…” Turaga Nokama yelled as the transport flew out of sight. The orange Le-Matoran pointed to the very top of the Moto-Hub, where a tiny speck that may or may not have been Tamaru could be seen clinging to a spire for dear life. “Up there, see him? Just fly up there and bring him down.” 2015 Lewa shook their head nervously. “I don’t like heights,” they repeated. “Can’t you send a transport?” The Le-Matoran shrugged. “You’re closer. Besides, I want to see the great Toa Lewa in action!” The costumed Toa sighed. “So…” they asked, stalling for time, “how’d he get up there in the first place?” “He was trying to repair the chutes. Long story, but it involves those Fikou-shaped transports, duct tape, and a blue potato. Earlier today, Tamaru was working on the chutes when he spotted a crack…” “Hmm,” muttered the Toa, not really paying attention to the story. “I guess there’s nothing better to do. Let’s climb.” While the Matoran was distracted by his story, 2015 Lewa entered the building and started climbing the stairs, hoping there was an entrance to the roof somewhere. “...and the potatoes fell out of the transport and filled the entire chute, which by the way taught us that blue and orange really don’t mix well, but what Tamaru didn’t know was that someone had been riding on the same transport earlier that day, which explained the earlier crack, but there were so many potatoes...hey, where’d you go?” Back with the remaining four Toa, they were all discussing what to do next when an announcement blared over a randomly appeared speaker system. “Attention citizens of Metru Nui: Turaga Dume’s 2nd Annual Costume Contest is about to begin! Please assemble at the Colosseum. KTHXBAI.” “‘KTHXBAI?’” echoed the assembled Toa. “ “ “Please tell me he’s not trying to act ‘hip,’” groaned 2015 Kopaka. “We get enough of that from Matau.” “Well, at least this makes up our minds,” 2015 Gali pointed out. “Let’s go to the Colosseum! Anybody mind carrying 2015 Tahu for us?” Back at the Moto-Hub, 2015 Lewa had just finished climbing the seemingly-endless set of stairs, where they found a simple door leading out onto the roof. “Convenient.” They opened the door and crossed over to the spire where Tamaru was. “Matoran? There’s a door. Just walk down the stairs.” They indicated the door, which had just swung shut. Tamaru, still obviously frightened, shook his head. “It locks from the other side. Can’t you just fly me down?” “No.” “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” 2015 Lewa looked up to see someone wearing a 2015 Onua costume, clinging for dear life to Turaga Matau’s makeshift vehicle. The vehicle executed a loop, dropping the costumed Toa onto the roof. “Ouch. Where am I?” “Toa Onua! Oh, this is good, two Toa to quick-save me!” said Tamaru. “Though I didn’t think you were fond of heights….” “I’m not Onua,” said 2015 Onua. “Matau, get back here!” “Next stop, silly old-geezer Dume,” Turaga Matau called out. “We’re almost as old as he is, you moron!” Nokama pointed out. “GET ME OFF THIS CRazy thing…” For several seconds, 2015 Lewa and 2015 Onua stared after the errant Turaga. “Right, okay, so how do we get him down?” “You fly me down, of course, Toa-Hero!” 2015 Lewa sighed. This was going to be unfortunate. The three conscious Toa walked into the Colosseum, with 2015 Kopaka carrying an unconscious 2015 Tahu over their shoulder. “Ah, good, the Toa have arrived,” said Turaga Dume, wearing his usual Kanohi Puhmpka (the Great Mask of Pumpkin Heads). “Let the contest begin!” “Wait,” said Hahli, “what’s wrong with Tahu? Quick, someone heal him!” She looked at 2015 Gali. “Toa Gali, can’t you do something?” 2015 Gali looked back and forth between 2015 Pohatu and 2015 Kopaka. “Are either of you Gali?” they asked. “What? No, that’s you!” said Hahli. “Are you sure you’re all right? Come on, bring Tahu and let’s heal him, quick! Also, where’s your costume?” Over the costumed Toa’s protests, Hahli dragged 2015 Gali away into the nearby Healing Hut, followed by the still-unconscious 2015 Tahu dragged behind them. 2015 Pohatu and 2015 Kopaka stared at each other. “Well, this is awkward,” they said simultaneously. “By the way, you’re both disqualified for not wearing a costume,” Dume announced. “Well, this is more awkward,” the two Toa said again. Before they could explain the costume situation, Matau’s transport suddenly shot down out of the sky, toward the Coliseum box where Dume was standing. “HEY OLDY, LOOK-CHECK US OUT!” the Turaga of Le-Metru called. “YAHOO!” “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa~!” shouted Nokama as the vehicle took a nosedive, missed Dume’s box entirely, and plunged at full speed straight into the ground. There was silence for several moments as the dust cleared. Once it had, everyone assembled could see a huge pile of rubble with bits and pieces of the vehicle sticking out of it. “Well, this is even more awkward.” “We’re fine, we’re okay, a little quick-stuck though…” Matau could be heard saying from inside. “Easy for you to say, I’m grounding you!” said Turaga Nokama. “We’re never doing this again!” “Wait-stop, you can’t ground me! Next one will be better!” “That’s what you said last time!” “And I was right! At least this time we’re here-still in Metru Nui!” “Still wondering how we crashed on the Southern Continent last time, by the way…” muttered the Turaga of Water. While the two Turaga continued to bicker, Turaga Dume gazed at the rubble. “I hate to ask you this, but as you’re both disqualified from the contest anyway...Pohatu, Kopaka, could you freeze/kick away those boulders for me?” “Uhh…” “Hey, wait a second, that’s it!” exclaimed 2015 Onua, still atop the Moto-Hub. “Quick, help me make a sign.” “A what, now?” asked 2015 Lewa, but they did as asked and started pulling up a piece of the roof to use as a signboard. 2015 Onua then started drawing on said roof-piece with a conveniently placed magic marker. “You see,” they said, “we still have three Toa who can help out. Well, two-and-a-half, really.” “Two-and-a-half Toa? Sounds like a good name for a parody comedy…” muttered 2015 Lewa. Finally, the other Toa had finished, and tied the sign to a spire, standing it up so that everyone could see it. 2015 Onua then pulled out two megaphones from their Toa-Pocket and handed one to 2015 Lewa. “Follow my lead,” they said, before reading the sign aloud. “Uhh, Toa-Heroes?” asked a terrified Tamaru. “Can we get this over with? Wouldn’t flying me down just be easier?” “Trust me, I’m not really...just, healing isn’t my thing,” said 2015 Gali. “Nonsense! You’re the Toa of Water! Though your voice does sound a bit deep...you must have laryngitis!” 2015 Gali slapped their forehead. “Or I’m not really Gali, I’m just wearing a Gali costume.” “That’s the stupidest explanation I ever heard. Come on, just summon some water and heal him!” “Um, that probably isn’t a good idea…” “You’re nervous?” asked Hahli. “Must be the laryngitis talking. Don’t worry, I’ll just do it myself! We have Element Extraction Entities for this sort of thing.” Over 2015 Gali’s increasingly worried protests, the Ga-Matoran withdrew a Rahi shaped like a teapot with a trumpet for a head. “I call it an EEE for short. Okay, EEE, do your stuff!” She threw the EEE at 2015 Gali. “Wait! No! Get it off me, I’m not Gali!” protested the costumed Toa. The Rahi latched its trumpet-head onto the Toa’s face and started to absorb elemental energy. Hahli pointed to the unconscious Toa, instructing the EEE to release the energy in their direction. At the very same moment the EEE started to release, 2015 Tahu sat up, rubbing their head and looking around in confusion. The EEE turned, followed Hahli’s gesture to spot the Toa in the Tahu costume, and immediately jumped toward their face. Just as the Rahi latched on, 2015 Tahu stood up and put their hands up, making the EEE stick to their hand instead. The Rahi unleashed a torrent of elemental energy that proceeded to bury Hahli, 2015 Gali, the Healing Hut, a good chunk of the Colosseum, and the entire lower half of 2015 Tahu in earth. 2015 Gali sighed. “Well, that happened. Why is it always me, anyway?” Tava, Takanuva, and Gali2 came running to the Moto-Hub as soon as they could. “'Early Black Friday sale!?!?!?!?!?'” exclaimed Gali2 happily. “Roof of the Moto-Hub? Count me in!” “'Never-before-discovered Pie flavor on the Moto-Hub!' Let’s go!” said Tava, running beside her. “'Find a Better Job than Lewa’s Giving You (because he’s a greedy and terrible boss), One Time Only On The Moto-Hub Roof?' I’m definitely there!” said Takanuva excitedly. The moment they dashed through the door at the top of the stairs, they heard 2015 Lewa shout, “Stop.” Surprised, they immediately skidded to a halt, crashing into one another and falling into a pile in the doorway. 2015 Lewa put their megaphone down and crossed over to the door, holding it open. “Come on, Tamaru, let’s go downstairs.” The Le-Matoran, surprisingly, shook his head. “Oh, what now?” “I want to see you fly me down; I’ve never seen the great Toa Lewa in action before! Look, there’s a whole crowd!” Both costumed Toa peered over the edge of the roof to see that there was indeed a crowd of orange-dyed Le-Matoran clustered below. “It’ll be cool!” “Tava,” said 2015 Onua suddenly, “you know what? I bet all those Matoran down there have never seen one of your famous Trampoline Pies. You should go down there and make an extra-big one for them!” “No,” said Takanuva, shaking his head firmly. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” screamed 2015 Lewa. “Where’s my promised sale?” asked Gali2, looking around. Tava, for his part, extricated himself and ran down the stairs, summoning a Trampoline Pie along the way using his Toa powers. “Hey guys, check this out!” the Toa of Pie called to the assembled Matoran. 2015 Lewa wiped his forehead. “Finally…” they muttered. “Come on, Tamaru, let’s go!” “Awesome-cool!” said the Le-Matoran, climbing onto 2015 Lewa’s back. The costumed Toa steeled himself, then ironed himself, then bronzed himself, then coppered himself, then ran through the rest of the metals he knew about before finally taking a running start and leaping off of the building. They hit the Trampoline Pie and bounced...and kept going...way higher than expected. Tava looked at his Toa tool sheepishly. “Oops, I think I accidentally made that one extra-strength...sorry!” He then proceeded to sprout wool and start baaing due to his sheepishness. “We have to go after him!” said 2015 Onua, jumping onto the Trampoline Pie and following 2015 Lewa’s accidental flight. Gali2 and Takanuva looked at each other and shrugged. “Fancy going after them?” Gali2 asked him. “No.” “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!” shouted 2015 Lewa as they plummeted into the now dirt-filled Colosseum. “Oof.” “Hey, Lewa,” said 2015 Tahu, buried up to their waist in dirt. “We’ve been having some...issues. Oh! You got Tamaru down!” “MMmmmmmppphhh.” 2015 Lewa’s face was buried in the dirt. “At least that dirt inexplicably got rid of the rocks,” said 2015 Pohatu, looking up at where Turaga Matau’s vehicle had somehow been instantly repaired and was now hovering over the Colosseum, Matau still arguing with Nokama inside it. “Where’s 2015 Gali, by the way?” “Down there somewhere,” said 2015 Tahu, shrugging. “She’ll be fine.” “We’ve been over this, Gali isn’t dressed as herself!” said an annoyed 2015 Kopaka. “Hey, what’s that?” They all looked up to see 2015 Onua plunge into the dirt beside them. “Hi everyone,” said the newest arrival, costume mask askew. The dirt shifted, and 2015 Gali stuck their head out of it. “Sorry about that. Here’s Hahli, by the way.” They reached down and lifted the Ga-Matoran out of the dirt, placing her next to the assembled Toa. Next to them, the dirt having brought them to the level of the Colosseum box, Dume was looking from one Toa to another so fast they all thought his pumpkin head would fly off. “How--what just--I don’t--Halloween is--costumes--you know what, I’m not even going to try,” he said finally. “Why do I bother?” A certain green Dark Hunter immediately flew in, bonking Dume over the head for stealing his line. The Toa all looked at the sight, then at each other, and started laughing for several minutes. Then, 2015 Gali stopped. “Why are we laughing?” they asked. THE END Skritch the Word Counting Fikou: This comedy has 3,585 words. ~Happy Halloween from Lewa# Studios! Lewa0111 Nuva (P.S. Try to guess who's who!)

I don't know how close this runs to being against guidelines, but as long as everyone else is cool with their comments, I think it should work out. OK: so the protectors went to the Temple of Time, and presumably using the Mask of Time or something, send their "prayers to the heavens". G2's protectors "prayer" could be a few things: 1) Just a euphemism- maybe it's just their hopes their sending to the heavens -- "prayers" just being a symbol of that? 2) There's someone up there! That lightning-bolt/laser that shot into space may have been carrying a message- perhaps another as-of-yet unknown character who organized the Toa and shot them to Okoto. A G2 equivalent of a Great Being, or GSR perhaps? 3) The communication was to the Toa themselves, to come and save Okoto- Which of course begs the question of where they were in space to begin with- and were they conscious enough to get it? Thus, was coming to Okoto a conscious decision the Toa made, or was it another unconscious-in-the-canister-and-it-just-got-launched-automatically scenario? And, if conscious, what were they doing on the world(s) they came from? Geez, just one line in an internet cartoon gives ya a lot to think about, huh?

Ah, yes, the Ancient City. Besides having the most creative name in the Bionicle mythos since the Golden Armour, we've seen a lot of hints about what the Ancient City once was, but we haven't exactly delved into the culture and what not. So, with all of the hints of an arena, the reverence of the Mask Makers, the importance of the Protectors, the geographic positioning of the city and the presence of the Temple of Time, I will ask the question: What was going on in there? I'll start us off here with the possible hierarchy of the city itself. It might be possible that the tribes that we see depicted in the animations stood standing even in the City's heyday, especially considering that there's a structure surrounding the shrine of the Golden Mask of Fire. My theory is that the Ancient City is kinda like the Whiterun's Skyforge. It's a source of elemental power that is ideal for maskmaking. Ekimu and Makuta had noticed the presence of this elementally potent forge, so they built their forge around this. This maskmaking hotspot had turned the Ancient City into a city for Okoto's greatest artisans; architects, stonemasons, blacksmiths and most importantly, the revered maskmakers. This city was relatively isolated from the rest of Okoto and the longer and longer that the inhabitants lived in the Ancient City, the more the city's culture would develop and expand from the tribal and agrarian attitude of the rest of the Okotian tribes. So... it's Rapture.

So I've just watched the episode 18 here: I'm going straigh to the point, I'd like to know your thoughts about it. My personal point of view is that this is just awful. Why? Well, there is a huge gap from what LEGO made with the franchise 14 years ago and what it is now. But I truly think this is exploiting. Not that they werent doing that since the start, but the storytelling quality here is definitely poor, and that dont just justify the target audience, 6-14 deserves better.

Hello there! Well, It has been a while since I last drew some Bionicle... Then one day I got the Idea.... ......KORGOT! Full body, colored sketch on paper of my alternative storyline's Korgot, protectress of Earth. Her humanized face is still the same as the doodle I did a while ago... the exterior armor is a bit changed, with some parts left unaltered (like the drill bomber and the shoulder armor). Dual machineguns and mask got revised, as well as the bottom clothing and grotesque boots. I just wanted her to be a little bit.... dirtier. I mean, guns, body-in-suit truly exposed.... everything. Also, I got the Idea while listening to "Grendel - Dirty"! Grendel (not the beowulf monster, the artist) has become another of my favorite electro-aggrotech artists, and his cyber-goth songs fit pretty well in the cyberpunk-dark-dystopian atmosphere of Bionicle:Reborn.... Just check out "New flesh" and "Harsh generation"! They're both sick! Well, even if it's just a sketch.... enjOI! :3 Original: DeviantArt

Hello there! I just finished another artwork for Bionicle:Reborn, featuring all six humanized, armorless Toas. And I tried with a new, darker style... http://i.imgur.com/MOTkF8Z.png When Good and Evil vanished, the world died. When the world died, one dominated it all. When one dominated it all, he took away our future All hope is lost, in the darkest of times. But it's in the darkest of times, when six warriors shine The Trinity calls them, "The Chosen Ones" from Left to Right: GALI, TAHU, LEWA, ONUA , POHATU, KOPAKA And yes, Bionicle:Reborn is set in a distant, dystopian future, in a militarised version of Okoto (dictatorship). So it will involve adult themes like corruption, vengeance, conspiracy... and a virus! Original link: http://ilresanmto.deviantart.com/art/Bionicle-Reborn-The-Chosen-Ones-566507824 I still don't know if I'll participate to the netflix contest or not...

Please let me know what you think! ;D Ps: I made this while listening to "Combichrist - Throat full of Glass"... hmm, it fits! ;D Edit: Please link to images over 750 kB! -Wind-

So... I had a bunch of money left over from Brickcon, since I had some for getting pieces from Bionicle piece vendors, but there was none that I could find :c (Also because Im Canadian and couldnt find an ATM anywhere in the Seattle center to convert my cash to American; Note to self, much easier just to get it converted here in Canada... ) Anyways, What did I end up doing with the portion of cash I had left over that was specifically for getting Bionicle things? Why, I used it to get Bionicle Things! So this weekend, after travelling all the way to college to find out me class was cancelled this weekend for thanksgiving, I didn't want the trip to be for nothing; and then I remembered, the Mall nearby had a Lego Store! So I ended up getting the Skull Warrior Set, and this is what I made with it, along with a few pieces from the parts bin... THE GRAVEKEEPER Picture 2 Picture 3 The parts I didn't use on him I took and put on some other creations ive been messing around with, but I didn't think they were really creative enough to have their own topics Heres one of them Heres the other! Almost forgot; The Vancouver lego store had awesome peeps working there and after I got the set, they let me make a free minifig! Here he is! That's all for now! --Akaku: Master of Flight

I had almost forgotten about this isnce i initially deconstructed it to make the entry for that last contest, oops! but, i rebuilt it because i think it's pretty cool. Pose Front Side/Back Pose 2 Pose 3 Skeleton Gearbox The idea was simple enough: update the iconic Rahkshi into the new system while retaining the gear function (the first incarnation of this model acutally did not have that, but i felt i had to put it in, so i worked on it until it fit.) hopefully i pulled it off? i have limeted CCBS resources, so it's the best i could manage...

A while back, I posted a combo model made from Korgot, Onua, and Basher, and was basically a much larger version of Basher. As promised, I bought more sets and made more combo models. Fire will be up i a separate topic, and Jungle will have to wait until I get Vizuna. But, anyway, onto the Stone model! First off, I don't like this one. The Stone sets leave very little to work with, having no long bone pieces or any friction-adders, which made this model really short and floppy. I went through two iterations of Stone combos, the first of which was a sort of spidery centaur that couldn't hold itself up for more than a second. Deeming it a failure, I killed it and rebuilt it into this thing. Pose Front Close-up Back With Gali There you have my Stone combo. No one-leg test for this guy because he has no friction joints and could barely stand as it it.

And, here's the other guy. This one, along with the Earth Titan, is my favorite so far. Like the Earth titan, he's more of a revamp of the Skull Villain incorporated into the build. Made exclusively from parts from Narmoto, Tahu, and Mask Maker vs Skull Grinder. Pose Front Back Pose 2 One-foot test/dancing Size comparison Kopaka's gonna die Well, there you have it. Next up is either Jungle or Ice, depending on how quickly I get Vizuna or my brother gets Skull Warrior. Until then, enjoy!

Has anyone heard any more about the "half-Vahi" theory? TTV talks about it here on their podcast. Basically, some LEGO guy apparently said the original Vahi was only half of a mask, and implied that maybe the Okoto people have the other half? Is this theory canon, or at the very least, not disproven? Is it still possible? or has Lego put more info forward that gives a new perspective on the G1 Vahi, and the G2 Mask of Time?

We have discovered that Ekimu is an Evil Vampire. Ekimu's name starts with E, and has an i. This is shared with the word 'Evil'. Ekimu's name has an e, m, and i. This is shared with the word 'Vampire'. Ekimu was resting in a coffin for a very long time. Ekimu required elemental energy - he feeds on the elemental energy of other beings. He is currently 'discoloured' because he needs more energy, and has manipulated the Toa into giving him elemental energy. Makuta put his face in the sky to prevent Ekimu leaving his resting place, so that Ekimu may never terrorize Okoto. The Skull Skeletons are not controlled by Makuta or Ekimu - they answer to the Lord of Skull Spiders, who, conveniently for Ekimu, is not in close proximity. Makuta is the face in the sky. He has ascended beyond the need for a physical body. The Mask of Control allows him to control Ekimu's sleep... until his control was broken by Ekimu gaining more power from elemental energy. Most villagers on Okoto have been tricked into basically worshipping Ekimu. Ekimu is now free to unleash his minions on Okoto... and unleash them, he did... This is 100% foolproof and anyone that says otherwise is obviously one of Ekimu's minions.

Hey guys for the Month of Stone I revised the Toa of Stone to re-orient the gearbox to allow the speed demon to run and kick! Though Pohatu ended up a little pear-shaped I like to imagine it's mimicking the real life Roadrunner bird which shares the same triangular figure. Plus claws! Anyway please comment with feedback, I tried to use as many themes from the 2001/2002 sets as I could with spiked biceps, armoured toes/shoes, claws etc. ps if anyone would like a close-up of the Protector's Sure Shot blaster let me know and I'll make room in my uploads to add it! -
Here is the new spinny for members that have been here for fourteen years. It is Gali's Mask of Water! I first noticed it on Hapori Tohu's news posts, and I thought I would make a topic to see what everyone thinks of this mask being a new spinny. So, what do you all think about it? Edit: Credit goes to Bfahome for making it. Sorry I didn't put this in the post when I made it.

Here is my version of Skull Warrior: - rebuild legs, - added armor on back, - change bone in left arm to trans-light blue one, - silver armor added on arms, - gunmetal mask changed to silver one from Grinder, Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/Y0rbQ

Lots of new info on upcoming movies from Disney was revealed this weekend at their Expo. This includes movies from Marvel, Lucasfilms, and Pixar movies. Here is a brief summary on some of the info revealed that I liked a lot. 1. Captain America: Civil War: Footage was shown of the film. I don't go into details of it, but I will say that it makes me even more excited to see it when it comes out May 6 of next year. I just wish Marvel would put the trailer online... 2. Doctor Strange: While no footage had been shot yet for this film, they were able to show off some concept art and talk about the character's origin, which I believe is staying pretty close to the comics. 3. Star Wars: The Force Awakens: I don't know how much info was released about it at the Expo, because I don't want to spoil myself too much on it. While a new trailer wasn't released for it, they did show off a really cooler poster and some cools photos from the movie. 4. Star Wars: Rogue One: This is the standalone Star Wars movie coming out next year. (December 16, 2016) The cast for this movie was revealed at the Expo, along with some info on the movie itself. It will 'be a departure from the saga films but have elements that are familiar to the Star Wars universe,' said Lucasfilm's Kathleen Kennedy. It will take place before Episode 4 and will be about resistance fighters coming together to steal plans to the Death Star. 5. Pixar Movies: Posters for The Incredibles 2, Toy Story 4, Finding Dory, and Cars 3 were revealed at the Expo. More info was also revealed about Toy Story 4, in that it will be a love story. More info on Find Dory was revealed too, in that it will be about finding Dory's family and the adventure Dory and Marlin go on to find them. (I think Nemo goes with them too, but I couldn't find anything that says he does.) Nothing else was revealed about Incredibles 2 or Cars 3. 6. The Good Dinosaur: This Pixar film had a lot of scenes shown at the Expo, and its looks like its going to be another emotional film from the company. It comes out November 25, 2015. 7. Pirates of the Caribbean 5: Dead Men Tell No Tells: The only thing revealed about this was that Will Turner, played by Orlando Bloom, would be in the movie. 8. The Jungle Book: This is a live action version of the Disney Classic directed by Jon Favreau. (Director of the first two Iron Man movies) They showed some incomplete footage of the film to the fans at the reveal. The film comes out on April 15, 2016. 9. Alice Through the Looking Glass: A sequel to Tim Burton's the Alice in Wonderland, in which Alice returns to Underland and travels back in time to save Mad Hatter's life. This film will be released on May 27, 2016. 10. Pete's Dragon: A reimagining of the Disney film of the same name, this movie is about an orphaned boy named Pete and his best friend Elliot, who is a dragon. This film will be in theaters August 12, 2016. 11. Beauty and The Beast: Another live action version of a Disney Classic film. *No footage was available to be shown, since it is still being filmed. But it was revealed that it will have new recordings of the original songs along with new songs as well. It will be in theaters March 17, 2017. *(Edit. I believe that there actually was footage shown at the Expo, though it was only a couple of shots. The site I was reading just didn't say that. Sorry for the mix up.) There were other movies that were either revealed or had more info revealed on them at the Expo, but the ones listed above are the ones I'm the most excited for. Especially the next Star Wars and Captain America. I can't wait to see those in theaters!

A lot happens to the BIONICLE world when you take a break for a bit...the protectors have names, and now, for practically the first time ever, boys and girls are crossing tribal boundaries- apparently, Korgot the Earth Protector is a Woman! And Kivoda, the Water Protector, is a Man! The first time ever really that Bionicle has broken it's longstanding unwritten rule that blue people are girls, and no one else is, in a big way. Sure, there have been exceptions from time to time, but it's been the default for nearly all of Bionicle's original run. Honestly, given the simplified approach they seemed to be taking with B'15, this move surprised me. What do you think the implications are of this move? Do you think we will see more womanly characters in unseen roles, such as fire-element heroes, or will we see more of what was done in the Glatorian Era- namely, just making more characters male? What sort of characters would you hope to see now that the old rules are done away with?

What specific things would you like to see in future sets? -More eye colors. You don't even have to stick with the original 6 from G1 (RBYODrkGLitG). With the new trans-colored bone pieces, this is a chance to introduce some new colors (Purple eyes, anyone?) -Keep to a certain "theme" with each element. I'm really digging how each Toa/Protector has their own thing going on (Stone looks like desert survivors, earth looks wide and bulky, etc), and I'd like to see them continue that -Less silver/gold/gunmetal gray. I think what made the original 2001 sets so appealing was how colorful they were. If they have to keep those metallic colors, however, I'd like if they were only in the weapons -MASK PACKS MASK PACKS MASK PACKS. Please, Lego, even if it's for one year only, mask packs would make a lot of Bionicle fans old and new happy. It wouldn't be that hard to incorporate them into the story, either (Since this run has not one, but two mask makers).

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-

So...when did the protectors get names?
Takametru007 posted a topic in Bionicle Storyline & Theories
I don't come here often, so maybe I missed something: I checked out biosector01, and apparently the protectors got names! When did this happen? Who named them? Was it a fanonized thing? -
If Generation 2 of Bionicle runs for a few more years, we will inevitably see another team of six elementally powered heroes guide us through another year. I mean, we only tagged along with the Toa Mata/Nuva for three years until we were thrown back one thousand years with the will-be Turaga in G1. But my question is: who's going to be in this Toa team? Idea #1: The Protectors I had a few ideas that rushed to my head when this topic came to mind and the first one was the Protectors. From an attachment and engagement standpoint, it would make the most sense as the Protectors have already been named and their characters have developed. Whether their story will be prequel-driven or not is up to you, the reader. Idea #2: Bingzak and Company So, we know about the character of Bingzak and that he will be some sort of lead for one of the books... and that's about it. Again, similar to G1, we might end up following a team of powered-up characters that we are familiar with and have grown an attachment to. Granted, we still have five or so more characters to develop, but just Bingzak would be fine, if not better. The story for the year could follow Toa Bingzak and five strangers, with the trials and tribulations bringing the six together. That could be the year that builds on the virtue of Unity. Idea #3: One Of The Toa Okoto Leading A New Team This one is pretty self-explanatory. Insert some tragic event that separates one Toa (I'll just use Kopaka as a placeholder) from the rest of his beloved team and we can have the Lesovikk-centric story we never had (I know about Dreams of Destruction, hold your Rahi). Kopaka would be in shambles after this tragedy, but would have to resurface to father a new team of Toa. Not only would we experience a dark twist in the story, we would watch Kopaka go through an arc of recovering from grief and learning how to guide and support people in lieu of shutting them out. If you ask me, this would be my preferred option. But those were just my suggestions. Tell me what you think!
