Irrie Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Do you think maybe a Bohrok would lose colour upon its dis-assembly like a Toa would? (the Toa Mata were uncoloured before reassembling themselves). Maybe the sparks and stuff charred the Bohrok shells. Also I wonder when the Av-Matoran->Bohrok twist was originally conceived... -NotSDo Matoran do the same when they're disassembled? Because if they do, then that would be a rather reasonable explanation. Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iblis Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Also I wonder when the Av-Matoran->Bohrok twist was originally conceived... Methinks early on, like before 2003..?

Irrie Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Also I wonder when the Av-Matoran->Bohrok twist was originally conceived... Methinks early on, like before 2003..? What are the four things above the Bohrok? I think that the one directly below the Kanohi is a Krana, but I can't tell. EDIT: There's an '01' next to Chris Faber's signature. It looks like they had this idea since the very beginning. Edited December 15, 2014 by The Irrational Rock Quote bZpOwEr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they had this idea since the very beginning. They did -- the Bahrag had a line during their battle with the Toa Mata that was something to the effect of "You dare harm your own brothers!" which was specifically a reference to the origins of the Bohrok 2 Quote ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Rate The Song Above You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoSWfan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 The giant robot was around since '99, its not unreasonable to assume that the Bohrok origins date back to '01. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Woah, very cool. I always thought that it was something added in around 04 with the whole "evolution from biomechanical species" foreshadowing but this sheds some new light on my perspective. Very impressive that they were able to keep even that a secret for so long. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like they had this idea since the very beginning. To quote Faber's comment below the post on his blog: "This was done at a very early stage in the design process. We did not know what the creatures would look like so I drew my impression of the Bahrag. I saw them spider like with the ability to carry Bohrok folded on their back. The same with the different stages of Bohrok it was my guess. The Toa line is made up of the mask then the Matoran, then the Turaga and then the Toa." 2 Quote The artist formerly known as ŜﮞρЄЯ־GЄNіﮞŜ־CЯЄ▲Ŧ۞Я BBC#69 Entry: Roodaka - Master of Manipulation BFTGM entries: Zigben · Ventox · Deflecto “Hail Denmark.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So then that begs the question - was Turaga initially supposed to come before Toa and the evolutionary route was switched upon the direction they took in 04? (I guess that it would seem strange though - it'd make more sense for that to come after Toa, since they are elders). That picture does seem to depict Bohrok evolving from Rahi though, so it might just be a rough interpretation. -NotS Edited December 15, 2014 by Nidhiki of the Shadows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(And since the picture was accidentally used in an advertisement, this chande ended up helping hide the reveal about the Turaga at the end of 2003) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoSWfan Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 I personally doubt it, it seems odd for a species to start out small, get old, and then grow into a walking mass of gears and synthetic muscle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess yeah, it does look better for the sake of the artwork -NotS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
