Ok this may be explained some where in the bionicle story line but im a little rusty on the little details after my return from the four year dark ages But where were all the Toa that lived on Metru Nui during that war where Lihkan lead like a hundred or more toa to battle , Where were they when the Visorak came to metru nui or when Makuta took over it just seems like a ancient evil and a bunch of spiders infecting the largest city in the universe would signal some of the toa in other places to be like hey maybe we should go help out there . I guess that you could say that they were busy with the damage from Mata nui crashing but at least some had to go and check on Metru nui when all this was going on . Besides the toa Hagah . -
Here is a new unboxing of Toa Tahu Mata. With a Rare Surprise. Enjoy. And thank you 'creation' and 'RandomReviewerBros' For your kind words who where the first to see!

Otana is a Le-Matoran that fell down a cave many years before the events of The return of the toa take place while testing his wing pack . Personality -Otana is a care free matoran like most Le-Matoran but he will quickly jump in to a battle if it is the only way to get out of a situation .He has a nack for annoying people he should not, this list including beings like The shadowed one Glatorian and even his fellow matoran but in the end he is a friend any one would like to have. Otana is one of the few Matoran to still use the ancient chute speak . Weapons- When Otana fights he prefers a hit a run tactic of flying in and using the sharp blades he built in to his gauntlets to fight with . other wise he is not much of a fighter and is terrible in a close up fight . His wing pack was a prototype built by Kardi labs and was mint to give Matoran the power of flight. Originally it failed but with some old tech that Otana found in the ruins of Metru Nui he was able to get it to work . return of the toa mocs by The MegazordMan, on Flickr Wings closed front. return of the toa mocs by The MegazordMan, on Flickr return of the toa mocs by The MegazordMan, on Flickr wings closed back. return of the toa mocs by The MegazordMan, on Flickr Wings spread front. return of the toa mocs by The MegazordMan, on Flickr Wing spread back.

So, if Bionicle was to be rebooted- and I mean "rebooted" as in a new continuity, none of the events of the "old" canon having any impact, but perhaps with a few recycled character names, plot elements, etc... Do you think the characters should be essentially reset to their old selves as we first met them on Mata Nui? Or would you want them to have the same names, but certain tweaks to their character- much like how Transformers and various superhero franchises will have the same names and similar appearance, but with notable differences that make each continuity's version almost a distinct character in their own right? (Compare Nolan!Batman to the Adam West series, for example- same name, similar costume, and same basic concept, but very, very different from each other. Then there's more subtle examples, like if you look at different interpretations of Optimus Prime across different Transformers media.) Alternatively, would you want new characters with different names, perhaps as expies or echoes of the old characters? (I can see them taking this route if they wanted to adjust the gender ratios, for example, or the number of Toa to a team). It's also worth noting that there are different interpretations of characters even within the current canon- compare Mask of Light's gentle, soft-spoken Lewa with the energetic, snarky one that Greg Farshtey writes. So, how should the characters be handled in a new continuity? What would you like to see? What tweaks are acceptable or preferable, and where do you draw the line?

I've already mentioned this theory in this topic when we were discussing head-canon, and I have a theory about Exo-Toa, and it struck me as maybe it might not be just head-canon and whether it could actually be a possibility. Anywhooo here goes: We know the story of the Exo-Toa, how the Mata used the suits of armor to battle the Bahrag queens but the suits hampered the Toa's energies and so the Toa eventually discarded them and defeated the twins using their powers. It made me wonder, what was the use of making a machine that hampered severely a Toa's natural abilities if only to boost their strength and so forth? So I came up with the theory: What if Exo-Toa are powered by a Toa's elemental powers? Since all their energies are being "absorbed" by the machine, it makes sense why the Toa is unable to use it in battle. And in exchange for the "power boost" the suit of armor grants the Toa extreme strength and other abilities (not to mention use of the special weapons the armor has). Now Exo-Toa are able to function without a Toa rider, but I think the lack of a constant charge of energy makes them somewhat weaker in battle, (like when they were battling the Kal, sure the Kal had them overpowered, but the Exo-Toa went down pretty easily) So basically an Exo-Toa with a rider would be much more powerful than without one. But they're still useful considering they make up a bit of the Brotherhood's army. So, let me know what you guys think.

Review topic here Chapter I The Interception Nimbau walked reluctantly in the moonlit rainforest, a mile or two away from his Koro. The countenance through his dark green Kualsi showed utter defeat. He was walking back home after a long week, yet he getting there was not his top priority. He walked in a slow, meandering fashion, the silver tip of his Protosteel scythe dragging in the ground. He was walking on a large, well-trodden path that was regularly maintained. Above him was a crescent moon and a cloudless sky dotted with millions of stars. On both sides of him stood vast trees draped with curtains of vines. Babbling brooks could be heard echoing throughout the jungle. All would have seemed peaceful if one were not returning from what Nimbau was returning from. Suddenly, a cold, menacing voice came from behind him, chilling him to the core. “Hello, Toa of Air,” it said. Nimbau halted abruptly and glared at the dirt below him. He felt both sad, scared, and furious. “Can’t you guys just stay in your miserable little prison? I’m really not in the mood right now.” “I’m afraid not,” said the voice. Nimbau turned around, slowly and loathingly. As his eyes fixed themselves on his Skakdi adversary, his heart gave a rush. “You!” he shouted. He lifted his scythe. “You know what you’ve done to me?” “Oh, I know. But you should ask yourself,” said the red Skakdi: “is it fully me who did it, or yourself?” Nimbau paused before speaking. “You had the weapon,” he said. “You deserve my full wrath. And I’m going to give it to you.” Nimbau brandished his weapon and charged at the Skakdi. He whipped his scythe behind his back, aimed it at the Skakdi, and swung it back, expecting to hit him, but was instead parried by the Skakdi’s Fire Staff. The Toa of Air jumped back a few steps, then leapt onto the nearest tree branch and into the cover of darkness. A few rustles of leaves were heard, and then all was quiet. The Skakdi scanned the branches, his eyes narrowing. A few minutes passed. “You can’t hide forever, Toa,” he said with a loud, clear voice. He looked behind him and scanned the tree branches there. He progressed a few trees over and cleanly sliced through the tree with one powerful cut. A metallic ringing sounded as the Skakdi followed through. The tree wavered, hung to one side, and crashed to the ground. The Skakdi grinned and channeled a flame through his staff. “Better be quick, Toa,” he said, “or your happy little forest is going to be a whole lot less happy.” He waited for the Toa to respond. After a minute with no answer, fire erupted from his staff like lightning from the sky and the fallen tree burst into flames. It crackled and smoked as the flames greedily consumed its wood. It was not long before it was nothing more remained but a charred limb. “That was just a demonstration,” said the Skakdi. “My patience is growing slim, though. Better show your ugly little—” The Skakdi was interrupted with a piercing blow from behind him. “I have a Kualsi, ignorant Skakdi,” Nimbau snarled. The Skakdi got up, smiling menacingly. He carelessly spun his Fire Staff, a flame still licking the air at the end of the blade. “So I’ve seen,” he said. He turned around, still spinning his staff. Nimbau pounced at him, but the Skakdi abruptly turned around and knocked him to the ground with his staff. Nimbau summersaulted backwards, grabbed the staff, and knocked the Skakdi’s feet out from under him. The Toa of Air leapt up and over the Skakdi, holding him by the neck and pinning him there. The Skakdi forced Nimbau up and threw him into the tree. There was a loud thump, and Nimbau’s body was cratered into the wood. The Skakdi smashed the Toa into the tree repeatedly, each indent in the trunk and each thump sounding louder than the last. The Skakdi threw him into the tree for the third time, and it crashed into the mossy forest dirt. Nimbau was lightheaded, and his vision was blurring. He shook his head and tried to get up, but before he could, he felt the cold metal hands of the Skakdi grip firmly around his neck and slowly lift him into the air. He then heard a snarl and growl, and he found himself being thrown, where he could not tell. His vision was addled immensely; all he could see was bright lights. That was strange. He had felt sure that it was night. He crashed into something hard, but he did not care anymore. He was going to be with his teammate. Everything would be fine. If he could just slip into the darkness… “No!” he shouted suddenly, recalling abruptly what the Skakdi had done. He swung his scythe back and forth wildly, his vision not yet fully restored. He felt a sharp pain on his head, yet he would not let up. He could not let the Skakdi get away. He must keep fighting. For his team and Tanewa, he could not give in. His scythe met something hard. He found hope in this and hit it repeatedly. He heard a cry of agony and a thump. His vision slowly came back, and the red Skakdi came back into focus. He was on the ground, holding his eye. “Ready to go back to the Shadowlands?” asked Nimbau. The Skakdi turned his head violently. His right eye was missing. He growled. Nimbau raised his scythe. The Skakdi pounced. There was a flash of red, and then all went black.

So a few days ago I saw this MOC by BZP member Click, and I loved everything about the abdomen section, and I wanted to use the technique myself. Maybe it is because he made a Lewa with it, but I was immediately inspired to build an Onua remake. So, Onua! I wanted Onua to have an almost industrial-punk look, as if his arms and legs are sort of construction-mech-ish. The original sets had pistons and other such items, and as useless as they would be in real life a lot of times, they helped really set the original aesthetic of the line. And Onua especially had a strong industrial look, so I did my best to work that in somehow. | | | | | Flickr gallery is also here for bigger versions of the exact same photos.

I've been somewhat neglecting to post things here as my Flickr account fills up, but I figured I'd make a topic for Irohka. I've been planning to do some special stuff before making the topic, but it's become apparent I won't have time. You'll still enjoy it though (I hope). I'll post Ourus a bit later (if you don't know what I'm talking about, check my Photostream below). "Toa" Irohka You should read my story given in the album (also comes with design commentary), but if you just want the summary: When Irohka's island is attacked by Dark Hunters, the few Matoran who escaped, including Irohka, modified a worker mech that they had been designing to be their first "Toa." Irohka was asked to pilot it, and the first thing he did was throw the Dark Hunters out of his village. Though many attempts have been made to get in to find a mysterious cave, Irohka has always been there to defend. Yeah, the story in the album sounds better. Quick Links: Irohka Toa Mech (Empty) Main Image Comparison Shot So, anyways, comment, critique, and enjoy, as always.

This topic will be the place to post all reviews of the script for Mysterious Island, the musical film loosely adapting the 2001 story which I am writing. As always, all questions, comments, and criticism are appreciated. The topic for the script itself can be found here: http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/13103-script-for-mysterious-island/ Welcome to Mysterious Island, an epic story in screenplay form that will tell the tales which we had as fans in 2001 anew. As such, this epic will mainly deal with the dangers that Makuta (Teridax) placed upon the Matoran of Mata Nui in the form of infected Rahi, the Toa Mata's arrival of the on Mata Nui, Takua's quest to aid the Toa, the Toa's acquisition of the thirty-six Great Kanohi masks, Takua's formation of the Chronicler's Company, and the battle between the Toa and Makuta in the latter's Mangaia lair. The story will not be an exact retelling, recording every important detail that was conveyed in 2001. Rather, it will broadly tell the major events of that arc, preserving the main path and results of the story and the majority of characters which it features, but changing a few small details or concepts, mainly in order to better fit the medium of film, as opposed to the flash game which was published in staggered chapters or the comics which were twelve pages each in length and released every two months.

To quote Jack Krauser from Resident Evil 4, "Been a long time, comrade." Last time I was on BZP was the day it crashed, and that was the last time I was inspired to draw Bionicle, until recently that is. The other night, I was suddenly inspired (at 2:30am nonetheless) to finally draw the Lhikan and the Toa Metru. While I have costume sketches for the rest of the lot, I won't post them until they are at least colored with flats. Their getups are inspired by a crossover of steam punk fashion, Thor, and their respective professions (the Toa Metru I mean).

Alright, I may take a crack at this: Part 1 Doom or Desolation Toa Kihohiki felt the sun in his eyes. The sun was warm. Go figure, thought Kihohiki. A wave soon made sure he'd get up, rather than drown. Over on the other side of the shore was a large stone tablet, the one he had come all this way to find. Two matoran dead, one completely mauled, the other shot, but... was it worth it? He climbed up off the ground, brushed off the sand, and hobbled over to that slab, that worthless slab of rock. "Why did Helryx, leader of "you know what," send me, Toa kihohiki, of all people, on a ruthless and stupid mission just to get a piece of rock that anyone else would be able to"- A large burning sound was heard, and his world went black. Kihohiki was a very social matoran, a public figure, and a good friend of Toa Lihkan. The day that he was captured by those dratty Dark Hunters was impossibly ridiculous. About one hundred matoran died right in front of him, leaving only eight Matoran alive- him included- to be killed a very special way. Then the OoMN rescues them, and told Kihohiki that he, and the other seven, were destined to become toa. The toa group was created, Kihohiki was appointed leader, and they set off on the most brain-dead mission even conceivable. It had not been as easy as described. They had lost two Matoran, both political figures, found in captivity and waiting to be released. His toa team disappeared mysteriously one by one, and was the last one still alive, but he had finally found the stone when his ship capsized, and he had washed ashore. Eventually the screaming woke him up. He saw a sight he wished he had never seen. Thousands of bloody spines stuck on the wall, all of toa, evident by the masks stuck on them. And on the walls below the spines there was... His Toa team! All alive, just scalded horribly. "Ohh, boooo hooooooo!" Called out the figure from the center of the room. He was a Makuta, evident by the massive wings and hideous mask, and the creature looked similar, but wore too much red, and had no wings. While evidently strong, this red being looked as though he couldn't jump an inch. "No Helryx here to save you now, and with the tablet all mine, only I know the true secret of Mata Nui's existence! Now, all shall bow before Makuta Valumius!" "Yes," said the red being, "No Helryx to save you, either." All were shocked at what that red being did, and the way that he cut his friend down the middle indicated he was a Makuta, after all. Kihohiki had seen enough, and used his sound ability to crush the chains holding the Toa. All toa fell, and as Kihohiki tried to stop the red Makuta, He said: "There's no stopping me now, Toa. I know the secret of Teridax's plan, and I have read the tablet. Just remember: When the universe is either saved or doomed, I, Makuta Maldraxx, will have caused it!" He then carved a fiery hole in this dimension, and fell right through it. Kihohiki rushed for the tablet, and saw it read a detailed description of the events involving the creation of the Mata Nui robot. With this information known, Kihohiki shatterd the tablet, ensuring that no one would ever find out about it ever again... unless he told them.

I know a lot of you are opposed to HB, and that's fine. I'm working on my own mechanized drawings too... But I like drawing people most, so I'm doing those ideas first. So thats why I present to you the next two installments in my Toa Metru HB designs: Nuju and Matau! Something that should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway: I know we all picture them differently, so we all have a right to an opinion, but these are the way that I envision them. Don't let that stop you from commenting, because I'd love to know what does and doesn't work for you. Nuju: I took some artistic liberty with his crystal spikes since they were hidden since I wasn't REALLY quite sure how a human could easily use them and didn't have a reference on hand at the time of drawing it. I'll draw them properly if I decide to draw him again. Matau: Don't have a lot to say about him. And here's the other threads with Lhikan & Nokama Vakama

I think it's fairly common knowledge by now that the Special Edition Toa Norik and Toa Iruini sets which were released in 2005 were originally intended to be Toa versions of Dume and Nidhiki, so my question is: Why did Lego decide to change the characters around, and why to Norik and Iruini?

Flickr Brickshelf Pofaru (POH FAH roo) is the Toa Nala of Magnetism and protector of Onu-Koro on Nala Nui. Pofaru was the first of the Toa Nala to be transformed and the only one transformed by Energized Protodermis, which he was exposed to in a mining accident. Although he exudes calm and friendliness, deep down the ramifications of his odd transformation weigh on him, and he lives in fear of what the future may bring. I made the name Pofaru using Tolkien's Matoran Dictionary. Here's what the Pofaru entry would look like: pofaru |n.cmpd.| miner of magnetic ore; lit. “oriented toward magnetic stone” [pofaru < po-fa-ru, from po “elemental stone”, fa “elemental magnetism”, and ru “orientation; oriented toward; intention”] C&C greatly appreciated!

Getups are inspired by a crossover of steam punk fashion, Thor, and their respective professions. I did, however, alter the disc launcher because I wanted to not only make it possible for a human to hold properly, but also functional. Theoretically, it should now work like a crossbow. Sorry, die-hards, don't hurt me. Lhikan & Nokama

The number of Toa Stones which any one Toa can create once they have fulfilled their destiny has always confused me, basically because: A. In 2004, Lhikan used his Toa Power to create six Toa Stones. B. In 2008 (I think), in the Kingdom alternate universe, alternate Takanuva also created six Toa Stones. C. In 2005, the Toa Metru each created one Toa Stone. Is this something to do with how much Toa Power a Toa has, or is it just a story error? Mainly because, if in the future of BIONICLE, the Nuva each sacrificed their Toa Power to create new Toa, essentially 30 new Toa would be added to the total number alive, if each Nuva can produce six Toa Stones. Am I the only one who thinks that this is weird?
