Toa Smoke Monster Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 For those who have trouble watching this on Bionicle.com Anyways, this was a good episode. I'm glad we finally got Ekimu awakened. I actually like his weakened form a lot. I wonder if anyone will make a MOC of it. 2 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...
Eclipsed Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 Yess, that was a great episode (I still think we should have a proper series.)I am 100% guaranteed that Ekimu will be joining the Toa now, and also sure he will be present in 2016 as a toa like character\set.

Aanchir Posted September 11, 2015 Share Posted September 11, 2015 The Toa hold memories of Ekimu? Goodbye, "these are the same Toa as G1" theories. You won't be missed. Hmm, I personally interpreted those "memories" as a byproduct of the mental link the golden masks gave them to Ekimu, but you make a good point that it could mean Ekimu was actually involved in the new Toa's pre-crash-landing backstory somehow. A lot of people seem to have a lot of faith in the idea that we'll get a larger, Toa-sized Ekimu in the future, but I think a lot of that "theory" is based in wishful thinking. It's quite plausible that we might get another Ekimu set if they keep him around as a central character in the storyline, just as Ninjago gets new Sensei Wu minifigures every year. But as of right now there's really no reason to expect his size to change, any more than there's reason to expect the Toa's size to change. He could easily just get new armor the same way Toa typically do from one set incarnation to the next. After all, just because we never got additional non-Toa versions of older "mentor" characters in G1 doesn't mean we can't in G2. There IS a passage in the chapter book that described Ekimu becoming more powerful and less frail after he retrieves his Hammer of Power, but his Protector-sized form in the sets is already anything but frail. And judging from the webisodes and character videos we've seen, it seems like the "transformation" he undergoes will really have more to do with undoing the corrosion/decay of his armor and restore him to the gleaming, energized appearance that he had in the Legend video. I agree that this episode had a great, fulfilling tone. Looking forward to the next one! 4 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You won't be missed. nah, their memories of "Ekimu" are clearly just memories of Mata Nui, who was notably also reffered to as the MU, like in ekiMU. It's obvious if you look close enough. :n Edited September 11, 2015 by Rahkshi Lalonde 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hm, I guess that's possible. It just seemed to me that it was an implication towards the mystery of where these Toa came from, but you're right that it could just be an allusion to the visions of the masks.

Lenny7092 Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 (edited) He has awakened. This is a really, really good episode. Yes, for thousands of years of a coma (or almost a year when The Legend video was released), Ekimu has finally risen (well, he looks dirty now). He looks kind of like a god when he is revived. I thought the Toa would become Toa Kaita or Nui, but okay (better luck in a final showdown against the Skull Creatures or next year). At least they didn't freeze him with a Protodermis Seal, otherwise he would be permanently stuck by sleeping by accident! Anyway, that is a very great episode. Slow story-wise, but okay. I think we got six episodes down and three more to go. I hope we will get a good and epic, not-rushed Season 2 finale. I love the part where Lewa said "don't break anything" and Onua looked as if he is trying to not break anything as he seems guilty. I find that funny.

That just makes me think being dead is something he's used to. Maybe all this stuff going down on Okoto has happened before. :v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snelly Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Ekimu doesn't look too bad despite being dead for thousands of years. He seems a bit rusty though. >=D 2 Quote My Bzprpg Profiles, Ghosts of Bara Magna Skyra | Hakari | Oceanna | Taleen | Arisaka | Zanakra | Kaminari | Drakkar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayliffe Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 "... now what?" Yet again, Pohatu still sounds like an ordinary bloke trapped in the body of a toa. It's like the voice actor for him set the script on fire and is doing a little jig on the remains. It's friggin' glorious. Quote "In the beginning the Universe was created.

Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Awesome episode, though the Skull Scorpio's got toppled pretty easily. A good sense of pace and some interesting lore in the tomb of Ekimu. His awakening was cool and all but his line... Ooh, cringe-worthy. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
