Had a lot of fun creating it. Swapped a few parts around for a more original light/athletic Tahu look. Also includes a new torso/chest build. Added red feet and hands + added metallic effects to his blades and golden armour. Wanted to keep the design simple and inline with the sets. The background assets were borrowed from the 2009 Glatorian Legends promo poster, I've reworked some of it to get a better overall aesthetic fit. Thanks for checking this out!

I was surprised to see my all-time favourite Bionicle showdown at the Fairview Mall LEGO Store in Toronto this past Saturday. However, I don't know how "official" this is. It says it was built by a Master Builder, but I don't know if this is just a one-off creation for this store only, or if the instructions came from higher up. Regardless, I just thought you would like to see it.

I decided to remake and remix a couple of the official Bionicle themes into one with the help of a friend, and here are the results! The Toa Return (Bionicle 2015 Theme) on Bandcamp, or Soundcloud (if you prefer).
-
Or, at least, not a very good one. It has no meaning, and very little life. Source The reason I'm including this is that I know that it will come up in the ensuing discussion. When I say "has no theme" what I mean is that Bionicle G2 has no unified message that it intends for kids to grasp. Other than "buy this toy". But if the toy doesn't symbolize a theme or message, it's not really something one would be proud to display on their shelf and call themselves a Bionicle fan over, would it? Instead, we would be more likely to complain about it. I'm not going to argue that Bionicle doesn't have design motifs anymore, because there is a strong case that they do. But there is not a unifying subject of discourse - the only thing left to discuss is factual surface details of the sets or story. 1) "I am here to battle evil, claim my Golden Mask of Power, and save the Island." is NOT a theme. This is not a theme, this is a commitment to a certain action. If I say: "Today I am going to write ten lines of code, find my old book on dinosaurs, and sharpen ten colored pencils" nobody would call that a theme of a story. What is evil? Why is claiming your Golden Mask important? Why does the Island need saving? You can argue that the Legends video answers these questions: Evil is Makuta, because he was jealous of his brother and made this dangerous overpowered mask, the Golden Masks are needed to give the Toa elemental powers and a fighting chance, and the villagers are at risk of being mind-controlled by "evil" undead bugs. But that doesn't answer this question: Why should I care about what goes on this island in the middle of nowhere? Why should I care about whether the villagers get controlled, whether the Golden Masks get found, whether evil gets defeated here? Who says the Toa are correct about what is evil and what is good? So far I haven't seen any proof that they have things figured out. In fact I see the exact opposite. That's where all the "evil Ekimu" theories come from. 2) "Unity, Duty, Destiny" is NOT a theme. It's merely a trite list of values, thrown together. Also, the concept of unity is distinct from duty which is distinct from destiny. I can have unity with a group of friends with no duty (we could just be hanging out at the mall), and I can be sitting all alone in my room with a destiny. So it's de-unified in and of itself. Further, it isn't a theme because it raises questions about itself. Unified with whom? Duty about what? Destiny where? A theme needs to say something about the concepts it raises. Is it good? Bad? You can argue that "these concepts are good" is implied, but why are they good? Because they are more effective in battling evil? So can my commitment to sharpening colored pencils. Even further, it was mostly introduced this year - it wasn't really a point of 2015's story anyway. 3) "Teamwork" is NOT a theme of Bionicle G2, and neither is overcoming adversity in spite of setbacks (which was Bionicle G1's main theme IMO) The teamwork theme in Bionicle G2 exists in isolated incidences, and is frequently contradicted by the actual story itself. Yes, the Toa have to band together as a team to beat LoSS. Yes, they must unify with their creatures. Yes, Lewa wanders off on his own and gets de-masked by Skull Slicer. But this is contradicted by other parts of the story. All of the Toa get their Golden Masks on their own. Granted, they have the Protectors to help...but then all of them have to rescue their respective Protectors. (Unlike in G1 where they DID have to ask other members of their team for help.) Lewa swoops in knock off the shooting Skull Warriors single-handedly. Kopaka puts up a shield that isn't needed. Pohatu breaks down a door by himself. Lewa beats the Skull Scorpios alone. Onua rescues everyone from being crushed...by his own actions. And Lewa fights Umarak on his own without any sort of loss in the end. The Skull Basher battle is a perfect example of this gone wrong, as the number one advocate of teamwork runs into battle alone, gets defeated, and then the Toa go on to beat Skull Basher...without Onua. The Skull Grinder battle: all the teamwork in the world didn't work. Screw teamwork - I have a hammer that can shoot lasers. The myopic focus on Tahu at the beginning doesn't help, and neither does Narmoto's prideful boast against the horde of spiders when he is off claiming his Golden Mask. As Unikitty would tell us, there is absolutely no consistency. * * * Finally, as I mentioned before, the Toa of G2 treat adversity as if it were a light snack. Enemies? Not really that hard. The amount of success they have is completely unexpected. It took the Toa of G1 eight years of story to accomplish what the G2 Toa do in 8 months, approximately. So that's definitely not a theme of the story. In large part, I think we want G1's theme back, or if not that, some other theme. It is the message, the statement that evil could be overcome, even if it fought back and plotted against me, that once left me proud to say that I was a Bionicle fan. Now, that theme is gone, and I'm still waiting for it to come back. Or for something to come back. The Bionicle I know has not returned.

Skull Scorpio is an underrated set in my opinion. Sure it has its flaws but I really liked it. So I've come up with a few alternate designs that you can use to improve your Skull Scorpio set. Gallery when public: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=560545 Here is an Lxf file of all the different builds. I will update with 2015 bionicle parts if/when LDD Updates. For now I just use replacements in the LDD version. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_mod.lxf First are two different leg designs. One is more like the original and one is similar to LOSS. Both sets of legs have posability. These pictures also show off the new torso I made for Skull Scorpio. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_3.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_4.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_5.jpg. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_6.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_7.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_8.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_9.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_legs_10.jpg Next are 3 different claw designs. One of them being the original just without the transparent orange. The third one was slightly inspired by TheDesuComplex http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_2.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_claws_3.jpg Next is two different shoulder designs. One with the arms out and one that brings the arms in close like the original set http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_arms_1.jpg http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_arms_2.jpg Last up is the tail. I had a few alternate designs in mind until I came up with these four. The first one is the original just modified to be a bit smaller. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_1.jpg The second one was inspired by LoganMcOwen's one http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_2.jpg The third one is just a standard scorpion tail using the skull villain sword http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_3.jpg The last one is my favorite. Its a slightly modified version of the one TheScorpionStrike did. Here is his video of how the tail function works And the picture of my version http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_tail_4.jpg The final pic is how I have my Skull Scorpion displayed just without Pohutu's drained mask . I added that in for effect http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/Bionicle2015/SkullScorpio/skull_scorpio_mod.jpg

Happy Halloween, guys! As the title says above, what G2 character would you want to dress as for Halloween. I know there are no existing costumes, but just asking. Anyway, if I were to dress as a G2 character, I would dress as Onua, Pohatu, a Skull Scorpio, Skull Basher, Kulta, or Ekimu. Also anyway, what about you guys?

Well, almost immediately after I bought Kopaka and the Protector of Earth at the start of the year, I began making Mocs of them. I didn't have too many parts, so they were fairly simple. Later on in march when I got Gali and Tahu, an idea struck me. What if I made Mocs of Gen 1 characters? I made a large Visorak with a spinner, Gen 1 Toa besides the Mata/Nuva, a failed attempt at a Bohrok and eventually a Rahkshi. Unfortunately, all of my photos were saved on my school computer which was wiped at the end of the year. However, I now have nearly all of the Bionicle 2015 sets, expect for a two of the protectors, the four skull villains and Lewa. With the parts, I rebuilt Rahkshi better than before, and with my expanded parts selection, I was able to make four Rahkshi. I hope you enjoy the bios and Mocs. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On our island of Okoto, strange creatures displaying higher intelligence and abilities than most wild beast have been spotted recently. I have devoted my time to studying them since their arrival. They are reptilian in appearance, with spikes on their backs and an armor-like shell. They appear to have some powers, but not on the same level of our heroic Toa. These beasts call themselves "Rahkshi" and appear peaceful, but their presence combined with their power seems to suggest otherwise. Hailing from a faraway island, the Rahskhi are a species hundreds of millennia old. Through time, they have evolved and changed and developed into a species far different from their original form. I managed to befriend one of them, a large red and black male who goes by the name of Xurahk. He is a Rahkshi scholar and has gladly shared his repertoire of history and information with me. It is only fair that I share this information with the readers of this report, as it will be a boost to your appreciation of the subject. Long ago, the Rahkshi were created by a mysterious brotherhood as soldiers and guards. Each Rahkshi had a special power, such as insect control, quick healing or disintegration. The Rahkshi were adept at using these powers in conjunction with the strength and size to achieve whatever goal the brotherhood bestowed upon them. One member of the brotherhood eventually took control forcefully and brought darkness to their whole universe. He went about killing the group's dissenters, but a small band of them used an artifact to travel to our world. They began a new life with their Rahkshi, but eventually died off leaving the Rahkshi in control of the island they had landed on. The Rahkshi began to change physically and mentally soon afterward, or so the story goes. Their strange anatomy became more organic and more alive. They became capable of reproduction, and started a civilization of their own. As time went on, some things were lost to them. Their powers were weakened, and the large build that had been so common was now a rarity. But in spite of these losses, they gained something much better in return- a mind capable of logic and reason like our own. They progressed forward making advances we Okotans have yet to dream of. At the peak of Okotan civilization, our ancestors lived in harmony and made many wonders we have yet to replicate. As we all know, Makuta betrayed Ekimu and the island fell into chaos. The Rahkshi had no such incident. They continued to progress but began to wonder what lay beyond the ocean surrounding their home. Only recently did any Rahkshi have the bravery to attempt to cross it, and they discovered our homeland during their adventures. Most of the islanders are very suspicious of them, but they agreed to let the Rahkshi be here as long as they gave us knowledge and technology. With the Toa on their suicide mission to awaken Ekimu, we feared that we might be in need of assistance once more. I have met four Rahkshi personally so far. In the few weeks they have been here, I have learned so many new things. Laws of motion, why things fall down, the weather and more have all been revealed to me. This newfound knowledge is priceless, but I hope that by introducing these four to you I can help build our relations for a prosperous future. 1. Lu'wrahk Lu'whrak is a female Rahkshi of Disintegration. She is fairly friendly but fierce nonetheless. Lu'whrak lives life without worry, knowing that if she gets herself in danger she can easily find her way out. An honorable fighter in combat and a kind friend in peace, she is one of the more amiable Rahkshi on the island. Pose Pose 2 Back Standing 2. Hapurahk Hapurahk has gotten the short end of the stick his whole life. He was born with a misshapen back and with a missing eye. Thanks to the amazing technology of their homeland, he was given a mechanical eye but his back still retained its strange shape. His colors- white and gold- corresponded to no known Rahkshi power, but he eventually found that he had the power of Weather Control. Sadly, he has less control over his power than one of the level 1 Rahkshi of ancient times. Hapurahk has an indomitable will and a desire to make things better for himself or others through any means. He is an extremely skilled warrior with his swords and has yet to lose a match. Winning matches give him hope that maybe someday he will turn his life around for good. He hopes to do just that on Okoto. Pose Side Back Standing 3. Zohrahk Even among the Rahkshi of our time, who are considered small compared to their past forms, Zohrahk is very short. She is a little bit taller than the Protectors, and much more fearsome. Her spines are small and curved, but what makes here truly unique are the horn-like protrusions on her head. She refuses to divulge whether they are natural or just something she wears for intimidation. A master of stealth, she is the most aggressive of the four Rahkshi I have met. She is an expert at dealing extreme amounts of attacks in a short period of time. Her double-ended staff is similar to the ones used by the old Rahkshi. I have seen her use the staff to vault into the air and unleash rapid attacks on her opponents. Most of the other Rahkshi dislike her for her aggressiveness, but she can be friendly at times. Pose Side Back Standing 4. Xurahk The final Rahkshi I list here, Xurahk appears imposing at first, but he is actually a renowned and kindly scholar. His size is rare among modern Rahkshi, and is comparable to that of the old ones. He carries a large axe and shield for defense, but does not engage in combat. He only fights if he needs to and spends most of his time reading, learning and discovering. Xurahk is the most friendly to me, and I consider him a friend. He has taught me much of the science and history of his species, and I have done the same in return. Our meeting has been peaceful and beneficial to all, as it usually is when two scholars meet. Pose Back Standing I hope this guide been informative and helpful to all. May this knowledge be passed down for generations to come. Finally, I present you with a picture that should have been much easier to take- I gathered all four of these Rahkshi together and used their "camera" to "photograph" them. Yes, this is the same device I used to "photograph" their individual pictures. Thank you very much for reading this guide, and leave comments and criticism for my improvement as a scholar. Together!

And I mean comparably, year by year, on average. In the beginning, Hero Factory had four full TV shows. Four, that were 30 minutes apiece. Ordeal of Fire, one 30 minute segment and some funny online videos. Savage Planet, 1 hour TV special. Breakout: 1 hour TV special, a story-based game, and two secret mission books. Brain Attack: 30 minute TV special, 3 books Invasion from Below: One 24 minute TV thingy. Compared with: Bionicle 2015: about 24 minutes of real video and one book, maybe two? I mean, it beats IFB, but that's not saying much, and the book retells the animations, as opposed to HF Secret Missions which told whole new stories. Agree? Disagree? Thoughts?

This is my first epic I hope you enjoy it. Each chapter has the name of a toa; whichever toa's name appears for the chapter is who's thoughts are being narrated (3rd person omniscient) (If you've read the Heroes of Olympus series by Rick Riordan, you know what style I'm referring to). Enjoy the story Here's my review topic! The Masters of Okoto: The Lost Chronicles 1: Gali Gali walked quietly through the mountains contemplating where her destination really was. She knew she was looking for someone named Ekimu in an ancient city, but she didn’t know more than that. Kivoda, the Protector of Water, had mentioned that she wouldn’t be alone on her quest and Gali started thinking about that. There are others? Why haven’t I met them yet? What if we can’t work together? The more she thought about it, the more upset she got as she walked. She finally decided to sit on a rock and meditate on the matter for a few minutes. As she sat, she looked around and thought the view looked rather grand. From up there she could see the jungle, lush and green. The trees looked just as fluffy as the two clouds that were in the sky at the moment. On the other side of a rocky ridge was her village: her new home. It was a mostly rocky beach, but there were some sandy places in the distance just barely visible. The aqua-grey landscape glowed like the water that connected to it. Just seeing the region like this put her mind at ease, but not for long; it then raised a question: Why would anyone attack such a beautiful place? She pushed the thought out of her head and decided it was best to relax and meditate on the more pressing matters: she began to focus on what she should say to the others that Kivoda had mentioned. She closed her eyes and began to meditate. As she began to relax she heard something…music? She knew she must have been going mad. No, she heard harmonies and melodies coming further down the trail she was walking. She couldn’t concentrate on her meditation with that music playing and she was now curious as to who could be playing it so well. She didn’t know anyone in her village that could play that well; it was as if a God was playing this music! She decided to continue down the trail and check it out for herself. She trekked further into the mountains towards the sound of the music. It sounded as if it were just over the next stony ridge. She climbed it and just as she was about to peak over the ridge, she heard footsteps coming toward her from the left. She concentrated hard; she could feel a small well of water buried under the ground. If she were to be in trouble, she would utilize it against the enemy. She looked toward her left and couldn’t believe her eyes. Casually walking toward her was a figure similar to herself; only green and orange. He had a mischievous look to him as if he were up to no good, but he had a golden glowing mask just like the one she had to get before leaving for the city. “Hello,” he waved. “Lovely day for walk-hike in the mountains.” Gali, still dazed, shook her head and chuckled, “I suppose it is.” “I’m Toa Lewa, the master of jungle,” he said as he stuck is hand forward. “Gali, toa of water,” she met his hand and they shook. “Do you happen to hear-see music?” he asked. “Yeah. I was about to look over this ridge when I heard you approaching.” She looked at Lewa and chuckled. “Your footsteps startled me. Glad we’re on the same side.” The toa of jungle chuckled in agreement. “Let’s see what’s making that sound.” The two toa climbed up and stood on the ridge, looking down into a small rocky valley with a few trees in its center. The trees were the only thing in the landscape that wasn’t grey…except for the being sitting on a rock near the trees.

Hi, guys! Have you noticed that in the Legend video (aka Episode 0) where Ekimu has blue eyes while his set form has yellow eyes instead? I did, and I also noticed that this eye color switch happened to the Protector of Stone when in his set, his eyes are blue while in the webisodes, his eyes are yellow. I wonder if there is a connection between these differences. Maybe that both of the characters had accidentally switched eye colors. I mean, each of the other Protectors in their sets have the same eye color as his or her respective Toa. Here how it is: PoF and Tahu -> blue eyes PoW and Gali -> yellow eyes PoJ and Lewa -> yellow eyes PoI and Kopaka -> blue eyes PoE and Onua -> yellow eyes For the Stone guys: Sets: Pohatu's eyes are yellow while PoS's are blue. Webisodes: Both of them' eyes are yellow. This is quite strange. Does Ekimu meant to have blue or yellow eyes? What about the Protector of Stone? Did Lego make a mistake in the sets or the webisodes? (Well, since I already have the Protector of Stone set and when I get the Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder set, I could switch their eye pieces.) What do you guys think about this?

http://imgur.com/a/lBM5M As some of you probably know, I am currently at San Diego Comic-Con 2015. Those of you who do also probably know that I managed to snag FIVE of the exclusive Skull Scorpio mask, as well as six of the free posters LEGO is handing out. As such, I believe it's my job to probably take higher quality pictures than the ones currently available, including the mask on Scorpio himself.

Hi, guys! I have been wondering about something for a long time since the New York Comic Con 2014, when we witness the return of our beloved Bionicle, and that is this picture: http://biosector01.com/wiki/images/9/9d/CGI_2015_Quest_for_the_Mask.jpg When you look to the top right of the picture, there is a black face with red eyes. It looks like the Witch Doctor from Hero Factory, but it is black. When I look at it, I always wonder whose face is this. My guess is Makuta wearing his Mask of Ultimate Power (which would appear perhaps next year or two), Skull Grinder or Skull Warrior. It seems that mysterious face represents the main villain in this year's storyline. Do you have any guesses?

I was inspired by the soundtrack in the recent Bionicle commercial to create my own rendition of the music: Skeletal Dread Also, if you are interested, here is the image that I made for use in the thumbnail of the track:

So I always wanted t build a Protector themed off of the golden Skull Spider mask, I think I did pretty well. Front Action pose Behind the cloak I also wanted to implement a way for him to hide his more ominous features, so I came up with this disguise idea where his arms fold up and the masks change. Definitely not a monster Action pose again Everything's hidden on the back I also found his back useful for holding studs. Gallery It's a much more simple build that what I usually go for, but I didn't really see anything more to add to this model without overcomplicating it.

Hello there! Remember the days when the Technic and Bionicle themes were inseparable? Back in 2001, the original Bionicle line was actually sold under the Technic theme, with Bionicle being a subtitle, if you will. They have had a pretty close relationship, but this relationship started to meet some bumpy roads after 2004. In the years before 2005, every Bionicle set had a bit of Technic in it, and Technic gave the sets a gear function and more playability. Following the Visorak, however, no gear functions were present in the sets. This was the same case for the Rahaga. Technic and Bionicle probably broke up in late 2006, when the Piraka, Toa Inika, Titans, and pretty much every other set had absolutely no gear or Technic functions. This continued all the way into Bionicle's end. This is an unfortunate thing, as Bionicle has it's roots in the Technic line, and was what made it unique. It was a shame we didn't see many other sets with Technic functions after 2005. But fast foward five years, and Technic and Bionicle have gotten back together. YES! This new line is paying homage to it's predecessor, and that is a great thing. With this great news, I am going to explain why this should continue for the foreseeable future. 1: It makes the Titan sets more awesome. Remember the awesome functions of the Titan sets in Bionicle's earlier days? Like how the Bahrag's heads lunge forward, how the Tarakava throw punches, or how Nivawk spread his wings? Like the smaller sets, the Titan sets started to have less functions. They were still awesome, don't get me wrong, but I would like to see some functions return. Not only that, but you can have some very nice looking sets. During Hero Factory's run, the Titan sets we got weren't very well designed and looked a bit flimsy. One set in particular that I got was Fire Lord, and he only had a sprinkle of Technic pieces, and his legs were made of limbs. It made him look slightly weak, and it left him looking gappy (Witch Doctor is an exception, he had pistons in his legs and was a great set, that's why I got him). When Titan sets have Technic parts in them, they look more biomechanical and less gappy. Looking at the tiny pistons and functions in a Titan's leg looks much better than a bunch of limbs. 2: It looks more biomechanical and is more MOC-friendly. I briefly went over how adding Technic parts makes a set look more biomechanical, so I won't go over it as much. But on the other hand, adding Technic parts to a set makes it more MOC-friendly. On occasions I've tried to build some MOCS with the Hero Factory build only, without the Technic parts, and it is actually harder than using the Bionicle/Technic system. The Ultrabuild system seems to restrict you to these large, clunky pieces, and it really isn't easy to add in some small little touches. In future, the new sets should integrate some more Technic pieces to... complete the look, if you will. Well. This little discussion was rather short. I made this list in 15 minutes or something, so forgive the lack of material in this. I don't have much to say anyway, so what do you think?

Yes, this is probably an invalid comparison on some level. I'm doing it anyway. Right now this an oddball idea - but not six months ago, much rejoicing seemed to be had among all that Hero Factory was gone and that Bionicle had made its glorious triumphant return. Anything that promised relief from ugly sets and tales of genocide () was welcomed by the Bionicle-starved citizens of this place. Now that Bionicle has returned, that perspective has been lost in the rush to compare Bionicle G1 and G2. But comparing G2 with Hero Factory is perhaps a more valid comparison. After all, they both use the same building system, and are slated to run a similar length of time, and they seem to have a similar amount of story material. I'm putting this here because it compares the two themes. If it needs to go somewhere else, move away. And vooooooooooooooooooooote!

I was messing around with the CCBS parts and I came up with this creature. http://imgur.com/a/Oghvg I thought of him being a creature from another island or an ancient warrior of Okoto with the ability to run at super-sonic speeds. He'd probably act like an evil Quicksilver, I don't have much of a character fleshed out for him. I imagine him running at high-speed and disemboweling his enemies.

(Never saw anything about this on here, but if so, close thread. Also, not sure if this should go in Storyline or General Discussion, so please move if necessary.) So I was looking at stuffs on the internet and came across this picture: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/4f/09/53/4f09537b12cad24714438d596722895c.jpg But I noticed something... there are two moons in the background... TWO... MOONS. Anyone think this is gonna effect the story or and predictions as to what this might be?

Hi, guys. I am wondering who would lead the team of the Toa Masters. In the episode 7 of the Bionicle webisodes, when the Toa are gathered at the entrance of the city of the Mask Makers, Tahu said that the prophecy said that he can become the leader once the Toa are gathered (I don't think it says that). However, Kopaka refuses, so Tahu and Kopaka fight each other. After Gali and Onua stopped them, Tahu said they still need a leader. Gali started an election to choose who would lead the team. Lewa joking voted for Onua. Since Pohatu interrupted because he noticed the approach of the Lord of Skull Spiders, the election had been stopped and the Masters didn't continue it. So, who do you guys think would lead the Toa? For me, I pick Tahu and Onua, my favorite characters coincidentally, as my candidates because: 1. Tahu was primarily focused in the episodes 2-6, the majority of the websiodes. Usually, when one of the team members gets focused more on the sorry, he or she gets to become the leader. Tahu even told Onua to finish off the Lord of Skull Spiders. 2. Onua made wiser ideas and is more resourceful than the other Masters. He stopped Tahu and Kopaka from fighting, and Lewa voted for him because of that. Onua told his comrades to work together to defeat the Lord of Skull Spiders. And also, Onua told them that the Golden Masks of Power can lead them to Ekimu's resting place. So, these two are my best candidates. However, I would choose Tahu because it would feel classic if he did that because of G1, and he is like one of the most iconic main characters. It would be cool if Onua would lead the team because he is like the big guy in the team. It wouldn't feel classic, however. It would also be cool if both of them could lead. Also so, as I said above, who do you think would lead the team?

These are super quick, so, don't say i didn't warn you, they're sorta what i'd look for in Bionicle 2016 sets, and, idk, they'd look less same-y in set form, I'm just not very good at drawing at that detail level (they'd also use the Piston addon and the skull warrior addon in some places, but again, detail level is kept low here.) But yeah, it's late, i wanted to get these down before I fell asleep and forgot, and I am not very good at drawing at night, oops. I hope the concept is nice enough though. :u
