Wrinkledlion X Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Apparently a lot of Bionicle terms haven't been dropped, but there aren't as many references to those terms. "Things will be simpler without complex names in the story." Ah well, at least terms like "Toa, Kanohi" haven't been gotten rid of entirely. Where do they use "Kanohi?"

LaputanMachine Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Wait, where is the word "Kanohi" mentioned? So it really is going to be a massively simplified version... Not sure how to feel about that, as cool as it's looking. :/ ~|ET|~ Glad I'm not the only one who's a bit disappointed... hopefully the story will get more complex as time goes on though, like it did in the original Bionicle. Quote For me, BIONICLE was an epic science fantasy saga with a deep and complex lore, and was best when it was exactly that in its later years. I'm not sorry if that offended you.

This is a very fair point. I'm not even really upset about those ones as I am about a convention exclusive... just letting hype and excitement get to me, I guess? I totally have the "incomplete" feeling though... But these I'm at least a little more realistic on. I'd have loved the chance just to see them in person though.

Voltex Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'm liking Lewa's mask. It seems like it could fold up along the ridges to reveal his face if it was a real mask. The only issue I have with Lewa's mask is that I see no immediate resemblance to any of his prior masks; Tahu, Kopaka and Onua all have masks that resemble their 2001 Kanohi in some fashion, Gali's resembles her Nuva mask, and Pohatu's resembles his Phantoka mask (and is actually EXTREMELY similar to Photok's mask from that year). Lewa's doesn't really have that same connection at all. Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrinkledlion X Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I think there's a clear resemblance to his original mask, it just looks like it got half-eaten by a machine.

Well honestly it kind of looks like Matau Hordika's head squished to me... Which is weird.
