Matoro appearing to use his Akaku (the reason that eyepieces are now confirmed by canon to be add-ons)

 

Technically he isn't using its power, because that's x-ray vision and he's only shown zooming in (though there's no explanation for how he does that). Matoran definitely aren't shown using mask powers at any other point.

 

I know he's not. That was literally my point.

 

Furthermore, there is a canon explanation for how he did that. Reread the bolded part of my post.

I know you know. :P I was just making it clear that the ability he uses isn't the mask's actual one, which isn't something your post stated.

I meant there's no explanation within the game itself. One did need to be provided, given that we never see the Akaku's actual power used and someone might mistake what Matoro did for it, which would also break the rule that Matoran can't use masks.

 

It might've been better if the clip had left out the zooming and just had him peering into the distance.

Well I've found the crack in Teridax's Protodermis Seal, a Mata Nui Stone, the Codrex Keystones but no masks yet. Gotta keep my eyes peeled, keep 'em glued to the spot.

So, who all is participating in the new contest? I decided, why not? I posted a picture of my little brother's truck, which it's back looks like a Miru/krana.

The Mask Hunt contest was unexpectedly pretty fresh! I like the concept and I'm definitely gonna try to find some masks!

Also, I noticed that they added screenshots of the episodes under the story page.

Guys! There was an important BIONICLE news update that I found earlier! IT'S SO COOL! Can't find it now, but I'll post it later.

I wonder why a joke news story hasnt been put up yet.

Yeah, for shame BZPower, for shame! 

 

I know, I was disappointed. Eurobricks still did something at least.

I believe the answer is that there is no leader, they are a team of equals. I still vote for Onua though.

 

Primus inter pares has a funny way of ending up in these things... A leader isn't necessarily more equal than others ... reality just tends to ...drift that way ;)

 

(Besides, isn't a 'fight' over who should be leader a primary drama piece? Learning how to work together etc. etc.)

I mean, people keep forgetting too that it's a holiday weekend, and Denmark loves their holidays. Most of the team probably had the last several days off.

Those Easter eggs are beautiful. It is odd that Lewa and Kopaka's are the only ones that are 'upright'. I want those pedestals too.

Quick question, (I'm pretty new to bionicle), does the G1 Makuta have anything to do with the G2 Mask-maker Makuta?

Well, they have to do with one another insofar as the new Makuta is in fact meant to be a new take on the classic character (just like the Toa themselves). But it's not like they're canonically linked or anything like that.

 

I still find the new Makuta's relationship with Ekimu fascinating. While Makuta is pretty much the same as far as his characterization and motivations (a patriarch of the villagers, whose jealousy and lust for power drove him to betray them and his trusted partner), Ekimu isn't Mata Nui, or Artakha, or any previous character. If anything, Ekimu is closest to how the G1 Makuta perceived Mata Nui—only this time, Ekimu is Makuta's actual equal, instead of only being perceived as such due to the G1 Makuta's delusions of grandeur.

Upon seeing that Easter pic with the Toa on the Rapa Nui-esque island, I wonder if there is more concept art akin to it? It's similar in style to that "Journey Begins" keyart. Really like it, would like to see more.

 

Also, the Gali BTS video was great, hope to see them cover the rest of the Toa!

I'm just hoping the story will pick up more in the second half of the year.

Indubitably it will. The Winter story is, after all, an appetizer, setting up the main course. The Toa are introduced, meet the Protectors, unlock their powers, and defeat the being preventing them from entering the Ancient City. Then the Summer story happens.

I wish those were real easter eggs, maybe next year if bonkle becomes popular enough... 

 

Hey I just realized something, those are the same stands the golden masks (the ones actually made of gold) come on, do you think maybe these eggs come with the masks (they do look like plastic after all)? 

It's time to move on.

Besides, you can have the stands made from Shapeways.

I saw someone use two half-wheels from the Baranus, put together with the pointy-bits facing each-other. It looks like a pretty cool stand.

Eh, I just used my Portal of Power from my Skylander's game as a Mask shrine in my Video. Works really well and has tribal like markings on it that could work in Okoto. Until we get actual language or whatever...
