believe victims Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I find it odd that they'd make a promotional mask that's just... clear. Like, not a trans color or anything. Just clear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~Xemnas~ Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 No, I can't really see any sort of mask attachment... not even the side clips the Mask of Creation appears to have. But it's probably the weird angle the mask is at that makes looking for an attachment hard tho. I have a feeling it has side clips as well.

Maybe he'll be more of a creator god than a Great Spirit.

~Xemnas~ Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 @Akavakau- Well, evil red eyes, so I'm willing to bet it's Makuta. Well, this is what TTV said: Makuta wears the Mask of Control, Ekimu the Mask of Creation. Makuta wants the Mask of Ultimate Power. Both brothers are in a slumber.Soft reboot confirmed! They also said that. Wait, the Mask of Control...? Not the Mask of Shadows? I'm a little surprised- like, what the heck is the Mask of Control going to do? Control minds? That's what the Komau is for... unless that mask doesn't exist in this canon. I need moar info!

believe victims Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I don't see how that could be a soft reboot, considering this seems like a completely different story and such. unless there's something I'm missing in this video that suggests it? but this Makuta seems completely different from the previous one. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kuurai Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 *Sigh* (kinda)... looks like Bionicle is taking a HF building system approach. Not much of a fan of the printed details on the armor pieces either. I think it takes away some aesthetic value. Still hyped tho!

~Xemnas~ Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Yay hard reboot confirmed! And it looks like Ekimu and Makuta really are brothers this time. Good- I don't want more Makuta popping up late in the story anyway. So, it looks like not only is the Mask of Creation going to be the MacGuffin that our heroes are going to have to go after, but so are the Mask of Control and the Mask of Ultimate Power. Interesting. Also, Okoto appears to be in the same shape as the island of Mata Nui, except with very defined areas for specific elements, kinda like the Slizer planet. 10/10 am excited Edited October 9, 2014 by Toa Xemnas of Crystal Quote BZPRPG Profiles Ghosts of Bara Magna Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Miras Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I kind of like the style. It's excellent for a legend, but I'm not sure about using it as the style for a main TV show.

Tentalones Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Also Makuta confirmed! Hopefully they're only be one of him and won"t be his species name instead. And... Ekimu instead of Mata Nui? Eh, Ekimu sounds a little bit... funny in my opinion. i think they abolished the whole 'mata nui' because it was the name of an island, a great being, a toa, and there were a group of toa named after it..... makuta was almost as bad but at least it was just a 'clan/species' and not 6 different things lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akavakaku Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 What if Okoto used to be the Slizer planet, but it was flooded and only the poles are still above water??In seriousness, though, this style is pretty cool, and probably the best choice for storytelling given the characters featured might not have actual set forms yet. Did anyone else manage to understand the narration at the part where several similar masks appeared? 1 Quote ( The bunny slippers hiss and slither into the shadows. ) -Takuaka: Toa of TimeWhat if the Toa you know best were not destined to be?

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) First things first. Retweeted that post as soon as I saw it. That new Hau is freaking fantastic. Love it. And the CG render of Tahu and Kopaka and the Spider... These look like awesome sets! And next, wow! What a video! They have the same narrator from what I can tell, which is great. The art style is a little rough and I'm not a big fan, but man. The story! I have no doubt in my mind that this is a hard reboot. But I'm not even mad. That new story sounds great! Makuta and Ekimu, brothers that create legendary masks, and a conflict that led to both of them falling to sleep. And then the whole thing about the three masks and the Mask of Ultimate Power. This is pretty great, though I guess it just establishes the backstory and I still definitely want to see how the Masters fit it. -NotS Edited October 9, 2014 by Nidhiki of the Shadows 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickonAquaMagna Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I just think it looks awkward. I'm trying to imagine Tahu and the others moving around, and I just see them tripping over. There's only so much you can do with such complicated character designs in this super chibified style, that's all. I don't think it'll do them justice or be a good representation of what kids will be going to the store to buy. In MLP, it works, but... well, those are simple character designs to begin with. Having to... compress them like this? It totally clashes. 2 Quote The Toa- A Bionicle Retelling by NickonAquaMagna http://www.bzpower.com/board/topic/25275-the-toa-a-retelling-of-bionicle/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
