Boidoh Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 the Green.... I don't have a answer for that, but I do know how a Nova Blast of the Green would be. I added it to the trivia on BS01 but it was removed soon after because someone thought it was too obvious. * If a Toa of The Green were to unleash a Nova Blast it would cause a huge burst of growth all over the area, so that everything would be tangled in vines and bushes.<ref>[https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-General/Chat-with-Greg-Farshtey/m-p/10750061/highlight/true#M247053 Chat with Greg Farshtey], 5.

believe victims Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Huh, interesting to know what a Nova Blast of Plantlife would be like. Of course, this isn't exactly related to Jungle, since that seems to also include air powers, so it's likely we'll still see blasts of air used. That said, I find the name "Jungle" a little weird. It makes sense, I guess? But "Jungle" isn't really an "element" so much as a biome. It'd be like if Kopaka were Master of Tundra, or Gali were Master of Ocean. It makes sense in a way, but at the same time it doesn't really feel like an element. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boidoh Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Well I suppose we feel the same way now. You think Jungle is a weird name, I think Plantlife is inaccurate since the element in G1 is the Green. But aren't you contradicting some previous points you made on other topics. You said Kopaka could be a Toa of Snow (though he was jokingly refered to as a Toa of Snow and Slush once), or Tahu a Toa of Flame.

I think Jungle is logically inconsistent with element names, you think a logically inconsistent element name should be preserved because it's canon. "Snow" and "Flame" still have a feeling of essential element to them. If they were "Tundra" or "Volcano", it would feel different. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makuta Miras Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 Just pointing out, it would actually make more sense if the Green and Jungle were swapped between generations, so G1 Plantlife is Jungle, and G2 Jungle is the Green. Why? Because G2 Jungle can be used to control air too (Or so it appears) therefore "The Green" would make more sense because the other two possible names (Jungle and Plantlife) don't encompass the control of air, whereas "The Green" more implies that they can control green stuff, which (Seeing as I've been mentally conditioned by Bionicle to associate green with air ) makes more sense to me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
believe victims Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 No, but it's the only biome I can really associate with fire. (And, judging by the fact they've used it both generations, the same goes for LEGO.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishers64 Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 Doesn't lava burn? I dunno, I'm no volcano expert. I mean like can't fire burn on lava? Lava burns in general, but I'm not sure if fire directly burns on top of it.See here: http://hvo.wr.usgs.gov/volcanowatch/archive/2002/02_06_06.html Lava can, however, cause fire. In that sense, the two words are sometimes intertwined. The fire caused by the Mother's Day lava flow at Kilauea is an example. The fire owes its start to hot lava igniting vegetation. The lava didn't need a fire to get going, but the fire needed the lava's heat. The Pu`u `O`o eruption has caused many fires in the past 19 years, some fairly large but most of them small. The Kupukupu Fire, the name given by Hawai`i Volcanoes National Park to the fire ignited by the Mother's Day lava flow, is the largest of the eruption, burning more than 1,480 hectares (3,660 acres) by June 4. But it is only the latest fire of the eruption. Each time lava enters even the tiniest vegetated kipuka, a fire is generated.

Toa Of Virtues Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) Combustion is the chemical reaction resulting in flame that requires a fuel, a source of ignition, and oxygen. Fire itself is a plasma, a gas so hot that it glows. A burn, however, is just an injury, which doesn't even have to be caused by heat. For example, you can have a chemical burn. But burning can sometimes refer to combustion. I hope this clears up any confusion, now back on topic. I kind of like the fact that they have "Jungle" as the element that replaced air. I used to think that Lewa could control plant-life, since he used vines to capture the ash-bear in the movie. EDIT: This is my 1000th post! Wooo!

Why do the "matoran" all look like clones? Those are some well armed elders! Chainguns! Is the head with legs the new baddy of 2015? 1. Because kids associated green more with jungle than with air. He will have both powers. His mask looks like it does because it was redesigned, same as all the others.2. The Toa have gold and silver because gold and silver are cool colors. The larger ($20) Toa also probably use gold to help better justify their increased price point (since they're not that much bigger than the other Toa, just better armored).3. See answer 1. His mask looks like it does because it was redesigned, same as all the others.4. Yes, it is Gali. Her mask takes cues from her original mask (triangular "mouth-hole", visor) as well as her Nuva mask (head fins), while adding more feminine touches (less square jaw). Her weapon also has some similarities to Gali Nuva's Aqua Axes.5. The Protectors (which serve a role more akin to the Turaga than the Matoran) all have the same mask because they are special ceremonial masks passed down by the Protectors of each tribe. Apart from their masks, they are less "like clones" than any other Matoran save the Voya Nui Matoran—all of them have unique builds.6. Being in charge has its perks. 7. Yes, the spider (which, like all spiders, is more than just a head with legs) is a new villain. It's probably not the main villain, though—just the leader of the smaller Skull Spiders. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
