The 1st Shadow Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Makuta was confirmed to be knocked out, but his location remains unknown. I imagine he would have been in the same area as his brother, given the events leading up to their "deaths." Perhaps the Protectors did do something for him. Besides, maybe they didn't know it was him. The Mask did change his appearance, so maybe they just assumed he'd been killed elsewhere and just left the "mysterious bad guy" to rot in the dirt. Unless he reverted back to normal when the Mask was removed. Who knows?

ALVIS Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 The story team probably made this ambiguous on purpose, so that the audience would wonder where he is and what he could be up to. Which is more menacing: a Makuta who has been "laid to rest" in a tomb with Ekimu, or a Makuta whose whereabouts are unknown and could be anywhere? 7 Quote "You are not entitled to your opinion.

The Meta Knight Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I can't help but think the current antagonists are somehow linked to Makuta. I know that seems like a "duh" scenario to some people, but thus far there has been no evidence remotely implying (aside from the fact that Makuta is clearly the main antagonist (or is he...?)) that Makuta is responsible for the Skull Spiders rising to prominence. That having been said, here's a hypothesis: The Skull Spiders and summer villains, in addition to trying to find/guard the MoCr, they're also searching for wherever Makuta was buried. This isn't really based on any significant evidence, (hence the term "hypothesis,") but I just have a hunch that Makuta is buried somewhere in a similar fashion to Ekimu, and that the current antagonists are looking for him. Just a hypothesis. 2 Quote Stay vigilant, my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I'm sure Makuta is out there and scheming - we already know the Skull Spiders are connected to him somehow. He'll be back. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobber Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I think there's a high probably that Makuta is directly influencing Skull Grinder at least, if not all of the Skull villains. In SG's box art, it shows him grabbing the MoC with his 'grinding staff'(?)--Could mean he's trying to take it in order to complete a grand scheme, or trying to destroy it.

Banana Gunz Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Poor Makuta... I'm sure though he's having fun using some sort of mental control (ability to use Mask of Control without being awake?) to assemble an army to awaken him and gain revenge. He's out there somewhere... and Lego is taking its sweet little time to reveal him, for good reason. I do think he should/will be mentioned more often. 1 Quote tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamarutoe Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Maybe he'll come back late 2015. The theme seems to characters rising from tombs, and we already have an Ekimu set.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 I still say the LoSS is Makuta in a "mutated from the MoUP" kind of way. Seeing as how the events of the fight between Ekimu and Makuta and the coming of the Toa spans several generations from the way I understand it. So I see no reason to believe that Makuta didn't fall into a coma while his body underwent the change the MoUP was inaction on him over an extended period of time only to finally wake up as the LoSS. Had he kept the mask on, the transformation would have been swifter however because the mask was knocked off it took much longer. Also to add to this idea, the reason he is now a Skull spider himself has to do with one perhaps interacting with Makuta's body while mid transformation.

Lyichir Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 He's definitely alive, but I can't help but feel like he's not even part of the plot anymore. Makuta is very decidedly part of the plot. Numerous story summaries hint that he's gathering power for his return, and that's the reason for new threats like the Skull Spiders. Frankly, Makuta's presence is more obvious now than it was in 2002, when for all we knew he had been defeated for good the previous year, or in 2006, when story summaries only described an "ancient evil". 4 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint-14 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Makuta's actor only signed on for one episode in his contract, so the next time we see him he'll probably be played by Adam Sandler or something... In all seriousness, though, I think that either the Protectors couldn't find his body, or that they didn't give him a proper burial (why would you give somebody a nice burial after they tried to take over your land?) and just left him to waste somewhere Quote BZPRPG: Akamu, Toa of Ice Talk to me about Destiny!

masterchirox580 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I can almost guarantee he will be a set at some point, I think it's likely we will see him in mask of control form next year (in a similar way to Ekimu), if more animations are made in the summer then I think we might see a hint towards his return at the end (like maybe him laughing in the shadows or something).

A set like you suggest (Makuta + Titan) would be pretty cool. My only concern is that such a set would lack the built-in conflict of Mask Maker vs. Ekimu, unless we got a "good guy" titan set for Makuta to face. They MIGHT be able to do that (perhaps including a larger, special edition version of one of the $15 Toa for him to face), but no telling. That, and that I doubt the Mask of Ultimate Power would be included at this stage of the game (I'm not even certain it has a final design yet, despite people's attempts to glean one from its cloaked-in-energy appearance in the animations). A set with two different versions of Makuta seems particularly implausible, since I can imagine it would confuse buyers something fierce. That isn't to say there's no chance of getting Makuta or the Mask of Control this year. There are two blended Toa masks unaccounted for, which could possibly hint at store-exclusive sets we haven't seen. And Makuta also appeared in a set-like form in the animations—and while that could be rationalized as a simple Ekimu recolor, he DID have a unique, non-obscured mask design AND a unique hammer design that was clearly constructed from existing parts. So who knows? As with many of these sorts of questions, I think it's far too early to consider the 2015 storyline or product range an open-and-shut case just yet.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 While I don't know if they will release a gold Makuta due to the only differences being the secondary color and his mask/hammer. So unless they send out an exclusive alteration and to do that they'd have to have a mold made of Makuta's mask. I don't see it happening just yet. A parts pack to make Ekimu into Makuta would be cool. Now the Black/red version of the MoUP is another story. Perhaps soon we can see this released as while it could still be just a recolor of Ekimu, it is not just this part and that part. It is a full parts recolor.

Spiders are very resilient and can come back from comparable falls that would otherwise kill other life forms.You're right, but the reason that spiders (and other arthropods) can deal with such big falls is because of their small mass, which prevents gravity from having such a great effect on them. The LoSS, on the other hand, is bigger than an islander -- it probably can't claim that same resilience. 4 Quote "You are not entitled to your opinion. You are entitled to your informed opinion.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Eh... you may be right. I don't really know all the sciences behind why spiders do or do not die from falling several hundred times their own size. I just am rooting for the LoSS, A larger spider could go splat or just be able to survive even higher drops. 1 Quote "A stranger will always be a stranger unless you give them a chance." || <- My Pokémon | BZPRPG Characters: Po-Matoran Doseki & Nui-Jaga Scorpio; Ga-Matoran Orca Matoran und Panzer: Doseki & Glitch | Marvel RP PC | Mata Nui Monopoly: Come...
