Bryce304 Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I know we haven't gotten much of the story yet, so this might be premature. If it did have a power, or a story attached to it, what would it be? Quote Is it 2015 yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumiki Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Well, it's very early in the story. I'm sure there will be some story use of it, even if it's minor (like the sparkly Mask of Light in the '03 Takanuva set).

The 1st Shadow Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Since it's mostly a standalone promotional item, I doubt it has anything to do with the story. Not. anything important, anyway.

Lyichir Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It's obviously the version of the mask that shows up on the pedestal when Tahu replays the level after collecting the gold mask. It's powerless, but collecting it counts as a stage clear just like it did the first time. 8 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorek Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Even if it doesn't have any storyline purpose, it looks SO cool on Tahu.

Jobber Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It kinda looks like a powerless mask. Haven't gotten Tahu yet to see if the mask looks good on him, though. Probs not going to open it up 'cause of value purposes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banana Gunz Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I imagine the transparent Mask of Fire is like the Mask of Fire being used or activated, possibly for the first time! Kind of like how the metru masks glowed when they unlocked their powers and used them.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 (edited) Why does it need storyline significance? It's a promotional give-away mask.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 I agree with Banana Gunz in that it could be the way Tahu's mask looks when he is using it. I don't know of any other purpose in the story it could have. But since we don't know that much about said story yet, it could be a story role for it down the line. We'll just have to wait and see if it does. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesiii Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 It wouldn't bother me, because the mold for the mask exists in the real world, and lots of plastic colors exist, including transparent. Why can't LEGO pour clear plastic in that mold if they want to? Just because they poured that color in that mold, doesn't mean the story has to incorporate it per se. 3 Quote The Destiny of Bionicle (chronological retelling of Bionicle original series, 9 PDFs of 10 chapters each on Google Drive): Part 1 - Warring with Fate | Part 2 - Year of Change | Part 3 - The Exploration Trap | Part 4 - Rise of the Warlords | Part 5 - A Busy Matoran | Part 6 - The Dark Time | Part 7 - Proving Grounds | Part 8 - A Rude Awakening | Part 9 - The Battle of Giants My Bionicle Fanfiction (Google Drive folder, eventually planned to have PDFs of all of it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm gonna have to agree with a few of the people here who make the point of how some promotional masks don't get a part in the story. Some do, like the Vahi and the Copper Masks of Victory, but then we have the trans-neon Miru that was just something Legoland was giving away, not something that did anything in the story. Or the platinum Avohkii given away back in 2003. That never appeared in the story either. It just strikes me as something like that versus the Copper Masks and Vahi that did have a part in the story.

Danska: Shadow Master Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 The Vahi didn't get any story significance until 2003. So, who knows? Perhaps it will get story significance, or perhaps in a few years time (when Bionicle is sweeping through the market ready to launch LEGO into a position of complete world domination) someone at LEGO will look back and go "heeey, that thing was pretty neat. Shall we go and do some storifying with it?" Much too early to tell yet, basically. Quote Click on them to build them yourself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then when the PC game was cancelled we didn't get to know how it played a role. Greg incorporated the Vahi into the 2003 story and decided that whatever happened in the 2001 game was non-canon because he didn't know about it and the fans didn't know about it.
