SPIRIT Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 I was looking through the concept art of the Bionicle movies that just recently surfaced when I noticed something oddly familiar on the following pictures: Lhikan's RobesThe Entrance to Makuta's PrisonThe Giant Kraahkan So the rough consensus over in S&T seems to be that the symbols as we see them in the 2015 storyline have no meaning, but perhaps these images shed light on where the 2015 story team got them from. What do you think? 7 Quote ~ The Jazziest JtO Spoof ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Takama Metru Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 It's got those similar symbols that are familiar to me. Those do definatly resemble the ones used for 2015. Maybe those images were one of the concepts that the new Bionicle team used to make the 2015 storyline. A lot of if not all of their research was G1 Bionicle concepts. Overall those concept art images do look good 1 Quote BEHOLD.....THE DREAM TEAM! COMING SOON.... ~ Oh hi thar, here are some quotes: ~ "Where wisdom and valor fail, all that remains is faith.

The 1st Shadow Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Good find! I can definitely see the similarity there. Just, one thing... I was looking through the concept art of the Bionicle movies that just recently surfaced when I noticed something oddly familiar on the following pictures: Recently? You must mean "REsurfaced," because we've had those images for years now. They're nothing new.

Prowl Nightwolf Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Yeah when the 2015(not really since this has been in the works for what 2years now?) team were doing when deciding how the Toa and alike would look they did research into the Gen1 designs. So it is not outside the realm of possibility that the story and artist teams seen such symbols an carried them over. More Proof for the Gen 1-2 conspiracy theorist. Come to think of it have we had any new topics/posts about Gen 1 and 2 being connected or has the community at large finally accepted that just maybe they are not. Making Gen2 more of a retelling of Gen1 rather than a continuation or prequel.

masterchirox580 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Looks like TTV were right, they are using unused/unfinished concepts from early G1. Quote It's time to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyichir Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Eh... they're vaguely similar, but there are some significant differences (notably, these symbols include rounded segments, unlike the Okoto glyphs). They may have inspired some of Okoto's scenery, but it's just as likely that both were just inspired by the similar Nuva symbols.
