Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Well, Greg says it's a reboot but the guys at the convention apparently mentioned the whole Vahi thing. Considering Greg isn't part of the story team this time around, I don't know what to think. Hopefully more confirmation this weekend or if it is meant to be kept a secret... it is very well-kept. It will be funny in that case though, because BS01 will have two pages for every Toa and if they reveal them being the same characters later on... Well, that would be pretty hectic. xD -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't say its impossible that more is to come... Quote In the time before time, the Great Spirit descended from the heavens, carrying with him the ones called the Matoran, to this island paradise. We were separate and without purpose, so the great spirit blessed us with the Three Virtues: Unity, Duty and Destiny. We embraced these gifts and in gratitude named our home Mata Nui, after the great spirit himself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishers64 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Kopaka's shield does in fact become it's skis. All of the Toa have what the team calls "Adrenaline Mode". So Toa confirmed for adrenaline junkies? YES, this must be a thing. I want to know what they tried to accomplish in Gali's horrific maskYeah, that thing is weird, to say the least. It's starting to grow on me though. Functions combined with the posability of the CCBS.? Yes please!Personally I'm wondering how one would combine the functions with CCBS.

Toa Of Virtues Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) I wonder if we will ever get the MOUP (mask of ultimate power) in a set, it looks like its design is supposed to be a secret now, since it is mostly covered by that fire... stuff. It reminds me of when we first saw the Mask of Life in the comics. At the time, it was extremely generic and simplified. It only had more detail in the CGI animations, which was the actual mold.

Two pages seems silly. We're going through some tab switching options right now. It would be clear if not for those comments about the Vahi and time travel... I know the only source is TTV, but I'm pretty sure they aren't lying about what the LEGO guys said. Also this tweet about Lewa from TTV: Also, Lewa was originally the Master of Air bur they changed it because the color green was more associated with Jungle instead of Air.Because he was originally Air, though, I don't think he controls plant life or something like that. So no actual elemental change really. and there's this: Lego claims it's a reboot, but a soft reboot. That's the exact words. -NotS Edited October 10, 2014 by Nidhiki of the Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishers64 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 It's nice to have 3 years confirmed already! This also leaves hope that perhaps we could see a TV show or (dare I say it) a new movie in later years. I do find it curious that they are returning to books and using them as the primary source of storytelling, considering that the books never sold well before; perhaps by containing all of the major story within them, Lego hopes they will sell better? Regardless, I'm very excited! I think the web videos are the main thing: the books are just supplements for people who want to dig deeper. Which is kind of shame - Lego seems to be walking away from story more and more, although web vids and books were always Bionicle's thing. Maybe they don't want to change it. Are the gold masks included with the sets? Yes, I imagine so. Or are they just releasing the masks made of real gold? Gali has 4 axle-through ball joints more like I will buy 20 GalisThose gearbox parts are going to be the bomb, yeah. They need to put those on Pick-A-Brick and LDD. Like the yellow spinner piece.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) There are no Matoran or Turaga on Okoto. Looks like it really is a soft reboot:The original Toa awaken without any memory and have forgotten that they are heroes.Same Toa, different place. I know I'm quoting a post from awhile back, but I just wanted to say that I will miss the Matoran and Turaga being in the new story. As for what is going on now, with the time travel rumors and everything, I can't really say. I was at work when some of the latest news came to light, so it might take some time to process it all before i comment on it.

Check out the six projections on either side of it, and the six legs on the LoSS. There's also the trans-orange plates on top of the LoSS that might look like eyeholes if you looked at him from above. The regular skull spiders are masks themselves, so there's that too.

LewaLew Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I really prefer to call the Mask of Ultimate Power the "One Mask" to keep up the Makuta-Sauron parallels. That, and it sounds so much better than MOUP. But hey, I'm sure some people think that MOUP is a super name. Super MOUP. Quote How well will you die?

toa kopaka4372 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 The sets look fantastic, for the most part. Tahu and Kopaka especially are stunning. I can't believe we actually have new BIONICLE sets again! As for the story, I'm cautiously optimistic. Here's hoping for the best, and that the current confusion regarding its nature gets cleared up, preferably soon.

Kalija From Indian Lakes Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 You know, after seeing all the new sets in person, I realize how much of a journey Bionicle's had. In the late 90s when Throwbots came out, it was like the Hero Factory to the 2015 sets. Throwbots set up the design for the Toa Mata, keeping similar elements but adding unique elements. Hero Factory was a good thing in my opinion, because it acted in the same way as Throwbots. Bionicle 2015 can only evolve from here. Although it's different, it's growing on me for sure. Words can't explain my excitement for the future! 2 Quote all this is temporary.Follow me on Twitter! @sean52711I'll follow back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voltex Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 If there is any new info that has only come from TTV, I'm treating it with a grain of salt. If you call "seven entire jumbo peanut butter jars filled with salt" a grain of salt, that is. Believing information that has only come from a single source (and one well-known for their speculation at that) is silly.

fishers64 Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 My running theory is that the Bionicle people will be going to more conventions and handing out different unique masks at each one. The person/people that have the most of these masks will be entered to win the gold ones. Another thing that's getting me is their personalities are similar to the originals, but not the same. Kopaka is clumsy? Gali has a terrible sense of humor? Tahu is forgetful? All of these are interesting personality traits, but none of these Toa displayed them originally. I'm not complaining, of course; more thorough personalities is a blessing. But it doesn't quite line up with these being the same exact Toa.Exactly. I'm going with the idea that TTV is making up stuff right now. A reboot is just that - a reboot. A dog-bone shaped Vahi is not enough evidence for this insanity. Current theory: Something catastrophic happened in the main universe that threw the Toa into the Okotu-universe (it could still be in the main universe, but out of ignorance, lets call it that). They help fix whatever problems are going on, and for the big twist, they return to the main universe where they fight the thing that threw them into the Okotu-universe in the first place. That's one way they could connect the old story to the new one.I'm not sure why they would want to connect them: that confuses new fans with 10 years of backstory.

Endless Sea (Alaki Nuva) Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Long ago in a distant land, I, Makuta, the shapeshifting master of darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil (mask). But a foolish team of Toa warriors wielding magic tools stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow was struck, I tore open a portal in time, and flung them into the future, where my evil is law. Now the fools seek to return to the past and undo the future that is Makuta.
