Willess12 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 So excited was I about today, I either could not sleep, or dreamed about not being able to sleep (hard to tell). I first dreamed that LeGo unveiled a new set, The Chocolate Factory. Then I dreamed LeGo said they were going to revive Bionicle. So, I wonder what time LeGo will make the announcement. Or, everyone at LeGo forgot the password to LeGo's account. (For anyone wondering, it is correct to stylize Lego as LeGo, but no one ever does. That's why I am) Quote On 9/29/2014, Greg Farshtey said: "Just wanted to say a quick something -- A lot of you guys are BIONICLE fans, many from way back. It's no secret that you are some of the smartest, most loyal, and most dedicated fans out there. You, and you alone, have carried the torch for the line over the last four years. Hopefully, you will feel rewarded for your efforts by 2015 BIONICLE. Regardless, I wanted to take this opportunity to say that I am really proud to be associated with you, and you should be really proud of yourselves" Ordinarily, I don't do quotes, but this is special.Fire Ice Water Stone Earth Air...

Makuta Miras Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) Well, if there hasn't been a reveal yet, then if it doesn't happen in the next half an hour, then I'm fine with that. It should leave me just enough time to get home before the announcement! Also, there was a massive storm last night were I live. The weather is predicting more Toa of Lightning! Or it's just saying that Thor's come back from Asgard. Or that the thumbnail mask with the lightningy energy is real. #BONKLESAREBACKEdit: disregard most of that.

Lyichir Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Look at the way the mask seems to attach! I'd seen a lot of debates over whether the new masks attached from the front or top, but the mask of creation seems like it will attach by clipping to the sides of a head. Very interesting. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe victims Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) It appears the masks will attach like Throwbot visors. So much for my dream of backwards-compatible masks. Then again, it could be a desire for a looser connection to return to 2001's mask-knocking-off functions Also, now that we have a spinny of it, it looks even less like Vultraz's mask.

Then again, it could be a desire for a looser connection to return to 2001's mask-knocking-off functions Yep. Not sure how I feel about that. But hey, Bionicle was confirmed by Lego! Best news I've heard all day! Quote "Vahki were rarely, if ever, surprised by anything. After years of tracking down and subduing Rahi of all sorts, the order enforcement squads were experienced at handling almost any situation. Add to that foiling the ingenious attempts of some Matoran to try and take unscheduled vacations from work, and Vahki could safely be said to have seen it all."

It doesn't look like these attach to a unique connection like Throwbot visors—rather, I'd be willing to bet that those nubs click onto a standard two-module connection like that on the sides of a Glatorian head, Brain Attack head, Glatorian or Hero Factory hand, or even basic Y-joint. If that's the case these will be VERY versatile. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I'm very curious as to what powers this mask has. That said, it sounds like 2015 is going to be the quest for the masks again; which sounds to me like it's going to be a reboot, and they'll be reworking the original storyline to fit whatever this new stuff is about.

Oh yes, I agree, and I love it. I can't wait to see what the headpiece these attach to looks like. If it only has to have holes in the side (like those of the Glatorian head), that makes a more realistic face a very real possibility.

Willess12 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Okay, a little late because I got distracted playing Minecraft. I must say, I accidently went to BZP's main page and saw the news, then went to the announcement page. That video is the first official thing for Bionicle 2015. I'm so happy to have seen it.

Voltex Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I missed the bit about it being the Mask of Creation at first - too much excitement.
