Flex Lord Splash Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 That mysterious mask looks kind of skull like to me. It could me the MOUP but what if it's connected to the Skull Spiders? What if we get a wave of dark Toa/Skull Spider Toa as villains. We have never had official dark Toa as sets before that could be really cool. Six Matoran get infected by six rare bred special skull spider masks that transform them into dark skull Toa or something. 1 Quote BZP-RPG Profiles Marvel Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcom Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 Typing in the set numbers and names of the supposed leaked summer sets in a product URL on the Lego S@H site gives you a "product not available" page, as opposed to the standard "page not found". TTV elaborated on this on one of their newest YouTube videos, as well as a post on their message boards going into further detail on the subject. Since it's on the Lego site, it's fair game. Remember when that one member did a random URL search to pull up that image of the Mask of Creation? The admins allowed it because it was within Lego's domain, therefore it wasn't put out there by some random third party. Same thing when I pointed out the "Coming soon" page when you searched Bionicle in the product search bar. It was within boundaries. By this logic, now these new names should be allowed to be discussed because they're not leaked. Lego is putting them out there for us. Except that the only reason you know those names (and are thus able to put them in) is because of leaks. That's not really the same thing at all. It didn't take any extra information to put in Bionicle and get the coming soon page, because Bionicle is, well, Bionicle. But to even know what to put in this time, you first had to get it from leaks. So. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarvaxx Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) In the words of the great Phoenix Wright:"OBJECTION!"Technically I didn't give any names, and the existence of a summer wave is proven by the promotional advertisement that came along with the Lego Club Magazine. The skeleton motif is clearly shown off in the mask by the fact that the design of the very top resembles that of the skull spiders, and the cheek bones and Jawline are clear indicators of this. Either way, my statement still stands that the mask in question can in no way be the MoUP.

~SUMMONER~ Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) I am kind of leaning towards this being the MoUP, but I'm just going to go through some random observations before I get to the points that convince me of that most: As everyone has noticed already, the mask is clearly skull-shaped, and oddly enough, the forehead also mimics the shelled, insectoid appearance of the Skull Spiders. If you look closely at the base of the forehead, you'll see a circle highlighted by the lighting, also similar to the Skull Spiders. After noticing this, combined with the shape of the eyebrows and "cheekbones", I realized this must be the same as the mystery mask in the background of this picture. While this doesn't confirm the identity of the mask, it's obvious that it should have some important role in the coming story. As for the surroundings, the mask is floating above a cauldron dripping with molten liquid, the sides of which sport carvings of the Protector masks. From the looks of it, we are in the Mask Makers workshop, and this mask was just recently forged here. The most interesting feature of this picture, however, are the two colored streams of "liquid" that are apparently flowing into to the cauldron, one blue and one red. You will notice four more trenches surrounding and leading into the cauldron, and I would bet that they are guiding four streams of certain other colors into it as well. I would guess that these streams are made up of the elemental energies that the Mask Makers use to forge the elemental masks. So we are looking at this dark, ominous mask that has just been forged from a cauldron that is being fed by six different elemental streams. That just feels like a Mask of Ultimate Power to me.

Uploaded by TLG themselves. Regardless of how, they're officially there. I'm not getting into this. Anyone who's interested, go to the TTV message boards, or their Youtube channel. They have the information, pages, names, etc. I'm not going to pick apart how this is ridiculous and refrain from wasting my breath. I'm out. Actually, one more thing. They wouldn't give the MoUP to us this early. We're most likely getting the Mask of Creation in the summer due to the 14k one appearing at NYCC, as opposed to the other two. I'm pretty sure we'll be getting one for each of the three years the line will be running, and the MoUP seems like the last we'll receive. It also doesn't even look like the one in the trailer because it lacks the six extending fins. It's probably just the mask mold for the summer wave villains.

Votuko Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 ...Is that a Kanohi Sanok? I thought so too, it definitely shares a similar rectangular shape and the same ridges as the Inika Sanok. But that must be a coincidence right? It's not like I called "evil Toa Mahri" as possible future enemies months ago when I pointed out that the new Makuta could be Teridax in the body of the Golden Skinned Being, and remember the Being enslaved the Mahri with his powers of CONTROL (familiar?)... I suppose we'll have to wait and see if there are going to be five villains in the Summer wave, rather than the usual six, seeing as the Toa Mahri had five members (RIP Matoro), whereas every other villain wave in the past had six main members...

From the looks of it, we are in the Mask Makers workshop, and this mask was just recently forged here. The problem with this is that the MoUP wasn't forged recently, it was forged many thousands of years ago. It indeed shows those lines that might be sources of elemental power, so I can agree that the mask cauldron was most likely used by Makuta, but as you said, it looks like it was forged recently and as the surroundings look overgrown, this might be the Ancient city, and a certain someone might have been making masks again... To me it seems to be much more reasonable to assume that this is a mask made by Makuta for one of the summer villains. -Iben Quote "Unity, Duty, Destiny."

If it is the same mask, then I highly doubt either image depicts the MoUP. Part of that is desire, though, because that mask's shape is so incredibly generic for it to be the most powerful mask. Like, yeah, it's got details, but its overall silhouette is basically just an oval. Boring. Yawn.

Also, assuming the mask is indeed being infused with the powers of all of the elements, that would basically mean we have multiple MoUP's coming into the story, which I can't imagine LEGO would do. As for the time that the picture is set in, I don't see why this can't represent the creation of the MoUP so many thousands of years ago.

Aanchir Posted December 30, 2014 Share Posted December 30, 2014 Actually, I kind of like your idea there, but I'm still curious as to whether (and if so, how) Makuta has been awakened. Well, I can basically answer the question of "whether". According to the original press release for the new BIONICLE sets, "The new storyline takes place on the mythical island of Okoto, where the forces of darkness are on the move and the evil Makuta is once again materializing. He is overcome by the desire for the three mythic masks that will cast the world into darkness - the Mask of Creation, the Mask of Control and the Mask of Ultimate Power." Also, "Only when the heroes are united, will they be able to battle the forces of evil, defeat Makuta and save Okoto." The present tense makes it sound like yes, Makuta is awake. Or in the very least, he's awakening, and might very well be awake by the time the summer sets are released, which is what this image is a teaser for. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaxix Posted January 1, 2015 Share Posted January 1, 2015 (edited) Well, it is difficult to say.
