turagajovan Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Hey, everypony! Sorry, brony reference. Anyway, after digging through this site I've found out how to start a new topic, so I wanted to discuss my theory. I think that Lewa has been made a Toa of plantlife in the 2015 reboot, or "The green" as the Matoran used to call it. Speaking of Lewa, do you think that the new Toa will get Nuva forms in 2016, or will it just be new enemies from here on out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Doublebee Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 Well he is the "Master of Jungle"... Wellcome to the site btw /) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iblis Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 [Well Master of Jungle, but yes your right.] I'm not really sure what to expect when it comes to Toa next year, I don't think we'll be seeing new Toa as soon as 'Wave 3'/[Wave 1 of 2015], but to see the present Toa in even more armor & metallic colours... I think that would be a bit much & kind of doubt it, I can see some kind of transformation but I hope it isn't a 'plain' bigger_weapons+more_armour+metal upgrade. So yeah IDK. I'm sure they can make the sets work, but then again I don't think it'll be a drastic style change or anything overly gimmicky (eg gel heads, laser sword).

Millennium Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 No, he's not.A Toa of the Green is something that exists in G1 universe. In G2 universe there is no such thing as a Green element or power, so far, at least.That being said, it would sure be nice if the current Masters come back into some evolved form next year, although I wouldn't want them to be called Toa Nuva. Some other title, perhaps. Or maybe no title, just a transformation/upgrade, or merely a different form they can switch to - and from which switch back to the original - whenever they like/need to.

While we still haven't seen exactly what it means that Lewa can "commune with the wind," it certainly does not sound like anything a g1 Toa of The Green could do. So yes, despite being the Master of Jungle, Lewa is not a Toa of The Green, not by the definition established in g1. 3 Quote ------------------------------------- ------------------------------------- Rate The Song Above You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dotcom Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 So fandom flaming aside... What do people think of the chance of seeing Nuva versions of the Toa next year?Well, it's almost certain that we'll see the Toa take new forms, but I really doubt we'll see Nuva versions specifically. Not only would it run a bit contrary to the trend towards less made-up terms, the defining features of the Nuva compared to the original Toa--metallic armor and weapons with other applications--are already present on our Toa. The only thing they don't have that the Nuva did is those hideous masks, and I think it's better that it stay that way? (Even if they get new masks I think they'll probably stick closer to their original designs than the Nuva masks did) So even if the Toa do get upgrades of some sort it wouldn't make much sense to classify them as "Nuva," since they wouldn't really share much with the original Nuva. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ballom Nom Nom Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If this is true, at least it means we'll see people using Jungle as the name instead of the inane "The Green," which would be a welcome change.

evil_jaga_genius Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 (edited) Contributing something useful to this conversation, I think BS01 said that Hewkii Inika had Stone as his main power and then could also use Lightning through his axe... or something like that. Lewa's new bio says he controls 'plants and the wind', so maybe he's doing the same kind of thing. Has Jungle/plantlife as his main power and Air as a secondary power.

Cwog Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I think that, aside from naming his element an unnecessarily poetic term (the Green), "Jungle" is really inclusive regarding powers. If you look at his Bionicle.com profile, it says this: Powers: Communes with plants and the windSo, instead of having "Air" or "The Green", it seems like "Jungle" combines the two, giving him power over air and plantlife. I like this change a lot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Yep, Jungle and Air are the same element now! Makes sense, they played with something similar during the Bara Magna arc (Gresh being a Jungle Glatorian but gaining Air Elemental Power). Green just seems more reminiscent of the Jungle environment I guess. And yeah, you can count on the Toa gaining new upgraded forms! -NotS 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pohatu is rock as in sand on the wind, landslide. Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...
