I never thought of that... Part of my decision to include Uira was so there'd be a predominantly white Toa to fill the void left by the usual Toa of ice, though when she was a Matoran, I tried to make it half and half. When we see more Vo-Matoran in the future, I'll have some be mostly blue and some be mostly white. I'll also try to make it a very distinct, intense blue that you don't typically see on Ga-Matoran (light blue) or Ce-Matoran (dark blue).

I'm considering making a thread just for this, but I dunno if that would be frowned upon or not. I'll let that depend on how it's received, here.

That doesn't change the fact that it's totally awesomeL8RThere, all tweny-four chapters read. I gotta say it this was one heck of a story you had there. Can't wait for next year. So now, it's time for nitpicking: The colors for some elements were off (like the missing blue in "the green" The Navy replacing the gunmetal on magnetism, Gunmetal+orange replaced with beige on Iron and the inverted colors of lightning). However, I think they really fit nicely to their elements. So overall you get a 9.8/10 from me.

UnderscoreChronix Posted December 22, 2014 Share Posted December 22, 2014 Just finished reading through pretty much the entire thing at once.That was epic. I wish I knew about this before!I do have a few questions though.1. Why did everyone pack up and just leave Spherus Magna? The entire Bionicle story, including stuff like Matoro's sacrifice, the final battle, the Toa Nuva and Inika's quests, lead up to Mata-Nui giving up his life to reform Spherus Magna and make it a paradise for everyone, and then they just.. leave? For one single island somewhere in space? 2. What happened to everyone? E.g. The old Matoran, the Toa Nuva, Tahu, Takanuva, the Turaga, the Toa Mahri, and the Order of Mata-Nui. Why are they not on Nova Orbis too? If they all died of old age, how are Ahkmou, Taipu, Kopeke and Macku still alive? 3. What's up with the underground place with all the dead Matoran and Axonn's body? What happened to them, and how did they get there? Is the place a part of, or THE spaceship everyone used to get to Nova Orbis? 4. What happened to the other Toa/Turaga (Kapura, Hafu and Tamaru)5. When is the sequel coming? That was awesome.

I need MOAR. 1. Probably because they were curious, and wanted to see what was out there. That's not to say that there are people still on Spherus Magna (providing it's still habitable by the time This story takes place). Nova Orbis is just a colony, whilst S.M is the main thing. It's kind of like how the Channel islands and Gibraltar are British colonies.2. I'm not sure, but my guess is that they're still on Spherus Magna or another colony.3. I think we'll find out soon enough, but I think they are the people who first landed on Nova Orbis.4: Well, We saw a carving of Hafu in the temple in Chapter 11, so I'd assume that It's a memorial or something. As for the other two... I dunno.5. Nick said it was coming next spring. And that concludes this episode of "Speculation with Daronus". Quote (I'll do this eventually, I swear...)

The level of detail is astounding for such small sprites, and they do a great job of representing the characters. It's great that you actually made each of them with different body types rather than just using a base and adding on the masks. These are the Matoran sprites, right? Just wanted to make sure the Toa will be taller.

JetZXV Posted December 23, 2014 Share Posted December 23, 2014 This entire thing is really amazing! I found out about the comic through TTV and I read all of it over the course of the past day. I can honestly state that I've never seen a BIONICLE fan story that was this good; considering that I've been searching for over seven years now, that shows how good this is. I'll be honest when I state that I LITERALLY made my BZPower account today just to comment on this.Good job and I wish you the best of luck in the next arc.
