Hapori Tohu Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Shadows of the Past Catch Rays of the Future on Turaga Beach. Such is the text on the latest Faber File (in classic Matoran lettering as if it wasn't good enough already) depicting a small Turaga-like figure standing on a beach with a staff whose top shows the symbol of the Three Virtues. Is this a preview for 2015? The bottom left corner of the image dates it on this year, so that seems likely. Does this hint at a continuation of the story? The excitement is barely containable!

Kek Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I honestly hope it's a reboot. The reason the first few years were so grand was because they came from nothing, and shaped the world as the story progressed. A fresh start to tell a new tale full of mystery and wonder is what I wish to see in the new story. 1 Quote Signature Guidelines: Image size may not exceed 250x100 combined or 468x60 combined.

Hapori Tohu Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 Well, I guess we got excited too quickly. As Christian Faber says in his blog: "I just want to point out that I NEVER post any official or current or coming story or material on this site. This is to be considered as a piece of fan fiction. NOT OFFICIAL, NOT CANON, just a comment to the great news of Bionicle returning seen from a 2001 point of view. Turaga beach is a metaphor for the place where all the old fans see the news. They have great knowledge but can't predict the future". On the plus side, it seems Faber actually reads the BZPower news!

Arzeron Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 You know, I do feel like a Turaga. I am experienced with old ways in that they were a long time ago but they do not feel so distant. However I am a different person now; I'm not as youthful or energetic as before although the passion remains. Besides, I can use my knowledge as a vague tool of misdirection towards the new generation of Toa and/or Matoran. Hehe, time for me to stare into a fire all day and tell people I see things. 1 Quote "Child of Dunwich riseYou have your father's eyesC h i l d o f D u n w i c h r i s eEnd the world that you despise" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohatu: Uniter of Stone Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Wait, so is Faber comparing Turaga Beach to BZPower? I like it! I now see BZPower as a village near a beach, with a forum in the center of town. Shops selling comic kits, spare parts and more line the areas around the forum. At the beach, ships arrive daily bringing news. Some of it is bad, but most of it is good. The villagers spend most of their time in the forums, and occasionally venture back to their homes to tidy up a bit or leave a notice about themselves. Every now and then, a contest or celebration arises. The leaders are respected, and the village runs smoothly. 4 Quote I HATE SCORPIOS ~Pohatu Master of Stone, 2015 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xccj Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I think Gata may have led that "hype" train off a cliff on this one. Really nice piece of art. I don't know how that staff would work, but it looks cool. (And I do think the background might have been editing, since I can see a distinct shadow of a large robot in the sky that they were trying to hide.) Still, a great tribute, and I can't wait to see more official stuff... I just don't expect to see it until, y'know, next year when the theme's actually released.

believe victims Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Bionicle was a life changing part of my world for more than 10 years and I'm extremely proud of having been a part of the creation of a modern legend. For 10 years I was living almost inside the legend and I feel that I did the right thing at the right time which is the ultimate you can wish for as a creative. I won't bore you with the details but lets just say that, when it comes to Bionicle now, I have become Turaga. It is crucial that Bionicle gets new energy and that is what has happened. I will watch from the beach as new creative heroes set off into the sunset and enjoy the rays of the new legend. I have new and different stories to tell and I hate repeating myself;) This almost makes it sound like he's barely involved at all. On the one hand, he was pretty central to the original Bionicle actually being Bionicle instead of Doo Heads, but on the other, it seems he and I agree on new people invigorating the franchise. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorred Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Apart from all that speculation; the art is simply amazing. The Turaga with the iconic Bionicle symbol at the top of his staff, looking onto the sea... a really beautiful scene. I also liked how he described the picture. Calling us fans the Turaga who have great knowledge but yet cannot see into the future. It's really sad he isn't going to continue doing the artwork for the future Bionicle storyline. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
