MetroidwaveX50 Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I was just wondering what theories you guys have had that had been proven wrong over the years? I'll start: The Lord of Skull Spiders was Makuta, severely weakened after the battle between him and Ekimu. I only based this theory on the Golden Mask of Skull Spiders, which sounded like it might have a similar power to the Mask of Control, and was helped along by LoSS's lack of characterization. Not sure what I was thinking back then. Quote Did you go to the 2002 'The Power Lies Beneath' tour?If yes, PM me. I'm looking for something that was only distributed during that tour.

Toa Imrukii Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 One theory was that the Armor color on the Toa represented a connection to a side element of sorts. Tahu having Fire and Plasma, Kopaka having Ice and Psionics, Onua having Earth and Gravity, Gail having Water and Lightning, Lewa having Plant Life and Air, and Pohatu having Stone and Magnetism.

Xboxtravis Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 As a seven year old kid I thought Mata-Nui was a demigod under the command of God (yes, that God). Also as a seven year old kid I thought the player character in the MNOG was a human kid who was on the island of Mata-Nui. (When you think about it they don't show Takua is a Matoran until the end of the game...) I used to think Mata-Nui was an actual spirit. Right up until the moment he awoke in 2008...

Naota Takizawa Posted May 1, 2016 Share Posted May 1, 2016 I thought Metru Nui was Mata Nui urbanized with the Turaga becoming Toa & Lhikan was given a toa stone by the Toa Metru, not the other way around. 4 Quote If you like Pingu & want to support a good project, click here.

Oh, and I originally thought that the Rahaga were Toa who turned into Rahaga instead of Turaga because of having a "bad destiny"... not sure what that entailed though.

Specter Knight Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 I used to think that a few of the Piraka were once Toa-Like beings, but were corrupted into their current forms by some strange power. I don't remember exactly, but I can hand wave it as "Makuta did it". Also, I was speculating in early '07 that the Toa Inika would descend into the Pit and mutate into their summer wave forms via the pit mutagen. Then the Mahri happened.

Tuuli Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 I had a theory that the new bionicle story was some hyper continuation in a different timeline where things may have gone somewhat differently, but as I've been told by many many bzpowers that it's simply a "restart" of the story. A real shame, it could have been a mind blowing continuation, but now it'll be nothing more than a simple "good vs evil" story with a one sided ending.

The Hip Historian Iaredios Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 Main theory of mine that I held to for a year was that the turaga of Mata-Nui were somehow energized by Metru-Nui and turned into toa, They would go back between the two locations, their forms going back between toa and turaga. That was thrown out the window when I watched Legends of Metru-Nui. In 2009 I thought the hero Agori from the My LEGO Network Bionicle campaign might be transformed into the new body for Mata Nui, similarly to how the Mask of Life turned Dekar into Hydraxon and Click into Mata Nui's shield. But then it turned out that the Mask of Life was able to just make Mata Nui a new body from... sand, somehow.Head canon of mine is that the Ignika and Mata Nui crashed into that group of scarabax beetles and killed them all except for one, Click. The ignika made Mata Nui's body out of the beetle corpses, making his armor have lots of beetle engravings and metallic designs, his blue skin maybe having a vague beetle-shaped looking birthmark somewhere. And because he is a non-sentient li'l guy, Click was able to befriend Mata Nui without fully realizing that his friend and master is literally made out of his family. 6 Quote A RUDE AWAKENING - A Spherus Magna redo | Tzais-Kuluu | Pushing Back The Tide | Last Words | Black Coronation | Blue Man Bound | Visions of Thasos ن We are all but grey specks in a dark complex before a single white light Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wiriamu Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I was expecting kind of a Wizard of Oz moment when we finally heard a description of Artakha; you know, the mysterious ruler of the island that bears his name ends up being a Turaga or similar being. I also imagined Mata Nui as being Toa-sized, and ending up wearing the Kanohi Vahi. Also, I think that the ending of the Mata Nui Online game left me thinking that Makuta was actually dead. 1 Quote Voicing your opinions with tact is the best way to keep a discussion from becoming an argument.So far as I'm aware, it's pronounced like this: We're ee ah moo.

I bet Hydraxon was originally supposed to be an upgraded Axonn during development.

We knew of Turaga Dume and we knew that Nidhiki was formerly a Toa. For me, it stood to reason that they were Lhikan's Toa of Stone and Air, respectively. Then we had Krekka, whom I assumed was a former Toa of Water or Ice. And I guess the remaining Toa would be revealed later? At any rate, I didn't even consider that when Vakama famously said "You are not the first Toa", what he meant was "you aren't even the second or third generation of Toa. There's like a million Toa in the world." But hey, all we had seen up until that point was teams of six. Most of the mythology of the Dark Hunters wasn't even written until 2005.

Master Inika Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Read SPIRIT's reminded me of another, quite understandable misconception based on 2004 promo art: I thought the Vahki head behind the Toa Metru in that one particular image was a new single villain on the level of Makuta. It wasn't until a while after the Vahki sets had been out I realized that figure was just a Bordakh. It was a simpler time. 4 Quote "You are an absolute in these uncertain times.

Pohaturon Posted May 26, 2016 Share Posted May 26, 2016 For the longest time I thought that all characters would automatically have the elemental powers associated with their color. I was kinda crushed when I realized that the Vahki, the Visorak, the Piraka and the Barraki didn't control the six main elements we've seen. I also assumed the Rahkshi in 2003 had the elemental powers plus the special Rahkshi powers. I assumed that's what makes them so formidable. Chalk me up to the "thought Hydraxon was Axonn's Mahri Nui version" crowd. 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group. Former contributor at New Elementary.

Jam Pot Studios Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Takanuva has the same legs and arms as Gali Nuva. That and the yellow eyes, she's clearly the one to become the Toa of Light. Mmmm. Smell that? That's vintage. Ooh, I remember thinking that too. I had a lot of misconceptions when I was younger.I came to BIONICLE at the end of 2002,and for a the best part of a year afterwards, I missed out on all the imagery of the Toa assembling themselves. Because of that, I thought they were just humans in armour, and that this was all set in some ancient version of Polynesia.I thought the Bahrag were super-advanced Bohrok themselves.Must sound dumb, but I didn't make the connection between Ahkmou and the Shadow Plague ball salesman for years. Thoguht they were two separate Matoran.I also thought the Bordahk in the back of the 2004 poster was a new, non-Vahki villain for ages. It also took me a while to realise that their eyes were the trans bits that stuck over from the back of the head, rather than the lines on the main head piece.I thought the guy in the 2009 poster, on Bara Magna, was Matoro. Pretty disappointed it turned out to be Mata nui.The stuff about the different layers of ocean and Karda Nui being under Voya Nui (which was on the same sea as Mata Nui, above Metru Nui) confused me, so when the Mata Nui robot arose I didn't get that the Matoran Universe was inside it. I even wrote a piece of fanfiction where the robot (controlled by Makuta at the time) is destroyed, and the wreckage falls into Ga-Metru bay.I thought the Great Beings were biomechanical too, though based on pretty much everything we knew about them until the serials, this was a fair assumption. I also thought they had powers of their own, reality-bending abilities that let them create stuff like the Mask of Life (think Franklin Richards level powers), but this was debunked fairly quickly.For ages, I thought Matoran and Toa of any given element could be either gender. I also thought any Matoran could become a Toa of Light if they put on the mask.When Vladek from Knights' Kingdom turned up with a new helmet in 2005, I thought it was a Kanohi mask, and that they were gearing up for a Knights' Kingdom/BIONICLE crossover, which would have been amazing. Someone on BZP actually did a really cool crossover comic around this time that I've never been able to find since (if anyone has a link, please forward it to me).I thought the Bohrok Kal had a new set of elements rather than just powers...and it turns out, with the exception of vacuum, I was later proven right. The only difference is that I thought the Toa Nuva were going to 'upgrade' to these different elements, which they didn't.Also in 2003, the Bohrok Kal came with these leaflet things that had a teaser picture of the Rahkshi springing out from a bright white light and flanked by the Masks of Light and Shadow. The picture was small and I couldn't make out the details properly, and I thought these were the next iterations of the Toa Nuva, some kind of more angelic form. I was right about the black mask being Makuta but I thought the gold mask was Mata Nui himself. Wrong.It was years before I realised a Kraata powered a Rahkshi. I thought the Kraata were just a projectile weapon and the Rahkshi itself was just...a Rahkshi. Wrong.When I'd just seen a glance of the set picture, I thought Nocturn was a mutated hybrid of Takadox and Carapar. Again, wrong.That's all I can think of right now, but I'm 110% sure there was more. While an avid fan, my theories were almost always off the mark, either a little bit or completely, though that never really detracted from play value. I think the most disappointing debunked theory was that there would be a connection between Gen 1 and Gen 2 besides some dead-end easter eggs. How wrong I was.

Wrinkledlion X Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 In the first Bionicle comic, Nuju says that the Matoran used to be "as pure and strong as the ice" until Makuta came. I thought this meant that all Matoran used to be Toa until they were degraded over time by Makuta's evil influence. The fact that Kopaka just looked like a giant version of Matoro—same mask and all—seemed to support this. It was only a few years later that I realized there WAS a connection between the Toa and Matoran, but I had the direction backwards.

Heck, they probably planned on making Pit Brutaka, too, then they might have decided that bringing out new characters as titans for '07 would be better. Besides, it'd make sense story-wise for Axonn to remain on Voya Nui, so that he could stay and protect the Matoran. Quote A big thank you to Toucan Sam for the Okotian name.

This was before 2008's big reveal.Jaller x HahliNot really a theory, but I didn't know about the gender-locked tribes until later on. When I first played MNOG, I thought some of the Ga-Matoran NPCs were male and Kopeke, Tamaru, and NPCs from other villages were female.While watching WoS, I thought there was a weird love triangle going on. Sidorak loves Roodaka, Roodaka loves Makuta, and Makuta only loves himself. However, this may have been intentional on the film makers' part which doesn't mesh with the established canon. It's clear that they portrayed Roodaka as a femme fatale.The Piraka would be 2006's protagonists. Hoo boy, was I wrong.Before the set was actually released, many people thought that Spinax's head piece was a mask, like Vezon's from the previous year. There were debates on what the in-universe reason was, if there was one, but it turned out that the "mask" on the back of Spinax's head was just some holes and detailing.There are different Bohrok nests for each one of Mata Nui's domes.The Legend Reborn will be good.Generation 2The Protectors sets represent the villagers; they're not individual characters.Kulta is Makuta. Since his body was not properly preserved like Ekimu's, so it decayed into an undead skeleton.The Toa Uniters' masks turn gold when they combine with the creatures. They're not going on another mask hunt again, right? .... Right? Head canon of mine is that the Ignika and Mata Nui crashed into that group of scarabax beetles and killed them all except for one, Click. The ignika made Mata Nui's body out of the beetle corpses, making his armor have lots of beetle engravings and metallic designs, his blue skin maybe having a vague beetle-shaped looking birthmark somewhere. And because he is a non-sentient li'l guy, Click was able to befriend Mata Nui without fully realizing that his friend and master is literally made out of his family. Me too. I feel like that was the plan at some point, but they changed it to sand because.... well, let's face it, being made out dead bugs isn't a good trait for your protagonist. I thought the guy in the 2009 poster, on Bara Magna, was Matoro. Pretty disappointed it turned out to be Mata nui.They used Matoro as a placeholder image, which confused a lot of people, too. Many thought that Matoro would somehow be showing up on Bara Magna. Quote Remember Artwork III? It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.
