Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Why is there so much hate on the facebook page?Some people probably just don't like the sets. Others may be saying negatives things about them for attention. Then again, its Facebook. People say all kinds of crazy things on there.

Zidonaro Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 So, when we're getting BIONICLE: The Legend of Okoto ? I hope it doesn't get cancelled this time. (But seriously I would love a console/PC game to promote the new line even more). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voltex Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 I'll reserve my opinions on the new backstory, but right now I'm busy fawning over Onua. I'm still puzzled about his gold+silver color scheme, but it actually looks strangely good in some of these pictures. I'm just really happy they made Onua the strongman of the group. That's how I always saw him, so I was never fond of that Greg-ism that "Pohatu's the strong one, Onua's just a regular-strength Toa with a Pakari." It always seemed very counter-intuitive to me. I also like that they're characterizing him as "sleepy"--I'm ambivalent about some of the Toa's new personality traits, but this is a good addition for Onua. They're making him even more like his element: dormant but immensely powerful. I do think the combined gold and silver does look surprisingly good on Onua, although I can't help but wish that the giant silver shoulder pads were gold at least; if the only pieces of silver in the set are the weapon I'm okay with it, but it does look a little haphazard the way it is right now. Or even making the shoulder pads black. Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which means that air and jungle are both one element now? Which is kind of confusing. 1 Quote JOIN AETHERGARDE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope so. We still have the terms 'Toa' and 'Kanohi' in the story. I hope Turaga stays as well. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.
