Lyichir Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 So does anyone think Makuta is gonna show up in the wave or what? To be honest, many of Makuta's parts are already available, given that he's basically just an Ekimu recolor. We can probably assume that the Mask of Control will be released next year (it's on the poster as well as Kopaka's boxart), so the only other necessary parts would be a bunch of recolors (3M shells, 4M shells, 5M bones, 3M bones, and the six shooter in Trans. Bright Bluish Violet). I can only hope that if we don't get a Makuta set next year, Onua or the other Earth characters will start to make enough of those other parts available so fans can build their OWN Makuta.

Lenny7092 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I'm just gonna leave this here. Wow! That's gnarly awesome! I can see the Umarak can combine with one of the Creatures. Anyway, I am looking forward to the 2016 story and sets! Things are looking awesome so far! As I can analyze the 2016 stuff, I would say these things: 1. The new story will be about the Toa being sent by Ekimu to find and unite with the Elemental Creatures (seems like Okoto's own Rahi), so they can get the Mask of Control. However, a new villain named Umarak wants to capture the Creatures by using crawling bear traps called Shadow Traps. The Toa, now called Uniters, have to stop him. All of this is from the Lego Magazine. 2. The Creatures seem to be wild beasts to be tamed by the Toa. 3. The Creatures can also combine with the Toa on their backs, similar to the Phantoka in 2008. 4. I don't know if Toa will become G2's Toa Nuva or wear different armor, but they look epic! 5. It looks like that the Toa also have to collect more golden Masks again. 6. Umarak kind of looks like to be a Skull Creature because of his design and mask. I wonder if he is associated with him. Hmm... 7. I wonder if Makuta would show up next year. He would not in the winter wave, but perhaps in the next wave. Anyway, I'll bet 2016 is going to be an epic year!

Regitnui Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 6. Umarak kind of looks like to be a Skull Creature because of his design and mask. I wonder if he is associated with him. Hmm...I also noticed that. Perhaps he's a living relative of Kulta or member of Kulta's species. The 'Titans' of Okoto once lived in harmony with the villagers, gentle giants to their industrious hobbits. However, they were refused the Masks of Power that the villagers had, mostly due to the difference in power between the species. The villagers used their elemental masks to help the titans, and they in turn loaned their strength to the villagers' greatest projects. However, when Makuta fell, it was they who pulled him from the rubble. He spun them a tale of resentment and envy, where he had sought to bring the titans the secret of Mask Making, but Ekimu pursued him to keep the secret to himself. They never did learn before makuta fell into a coma. His mask of control became a treasure amongst the titans, and they too set out to find the Mask of Ultimate Power... 4 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?

The only reason they're fighting the masters is because they think the masters are evil. The masters would think the titans are evil because the titans keep fighting them. Kulta was explicitly dead and revived, so he could be irredeemably evil. Umarak might be mislead, trying to capture the elemental beast for the same reason the masters are trying to befriend them. As for other members of their species, perhaps we'll get an axonn/brutaka civil war or something later... 3 Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?

Nescent Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 The silver blended into the Toas' masks is a veeery strange design choice. Personally, I can't imagine that it will look good, but I'll withhold judgement until I see them in person. But apparently the gold masks will have a translucent blend, like the corrupted masks; I'm happy about that. I think blended gold masks look a lot nicer than solid gold masks.

Maybe they are a bit smaller? I don't think having gears makes the sets cost any more to develop if the pieces aren't very big. Either way, I'm hyped. Yeah, gears don't really add more to a set's cost than any other piece would. I mean, the Protector of Ice already had two gears just being used as knobs to spin the shield and blaster. Considering Ikir doesn't have a shield or blaster, including two or three gears for a wing flapping function is no trouble at all. The bigger part of the cost would be that some of those gears are a new mold. But by spreading those around throughout other sets (who knows, they might even show up in regular Technic sets), that cost can be distributed, same as with the new shooter pieces from this year's Protectors. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abstractAgamid Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 So at the panel we also got a sneak peek at next year's Kopaka. We weren't allowed to take pics, but a neat feature is that his mask (and presumably the rest of the Toa's as well) has his Nuva symbol molded into it. It also uses a 1x1 round stud as the lens for his eyepiece.Ehhh, I'm not sure I like that. It means some of the masks will be asymmetrical. (Although luckily Lewa's mask, which is my favorite going by these pictures, likely won't be.) I like that they're releasing non-humanoid small sets.

We don't know WHERE specifically it's molded on all the masks. On Kopaka it's above his left brow, but that might just be because his mask is ALREADY asymmetrical thanks to his eyepiece. If it's centered on the others, then what asymmetricality there was would be limited to a tiny, perfectly square insignia on each of the masks—hardly something to get bent out of shape over. 3 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
