Tahmira Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Ahh! Just thought of another question...If the Kanohi masks are a type of technology and most of the MU citizens are Biomechanical beings then how would a Kanohi mask recognize the difference between a Matoran and a Toa? And if it were similar to a computer program or a signal then would it be possible for a Matoran to trick a Kanohi mask into thinking it's wearer was a Toa?

The Legendary TNT Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 So where are the Element Lords now? Last we saw them, they were having a personal Core War II in the northern reaches of Bara Magna.

Jam Pot Studios Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Because it should happen! I started the thread once, and then Greg himself got it closed by saying that it couldn't happen because they're two completely different continuities. That's nonsense. There's JLA/Avengers where DC's Justice League and Justice Society team up with the Avengers to save both of their universes. Superman wields Mjolnir and Captain America's shield. Batman fights Vision. Two separate continuities, and yet it happened, and is considered totally canon. I think ruling out a crossover completely is a ridiculous thing to do because, if Dark Mirror is anything to go by, in the BIONICLE universe anything is possible. How many times have Spider-man and Superman met alternate counterparts? It doesn't matter how many universes away from something you are, fiction finds a way. Besides, there's nothing to stop the fans from doing a crossover - BIONICLE is over, so the story is only being driven by fans, and if they want to write Stormer and Stringer's mission to Bota Magna, or even a Tahtorak in Manhattan, then they can do so, whether Greg says so or not. This isn't supposed to be an attack on Greg, as I have a lot of respect for him, his works and his continued communion with the fans, but I disagree with his ruling and appeal against it. If Malcolm Reynolds and Han Solo can team up, so can BIONICLE and Hero Factory. -JR Blog|YouTube|Flickr Making brickfilms since 2007. Check out my latest animations: , , and Avengers Tower!

Makuta Almanax Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I concur with the other statements here, there's no reason they couldn't be in the same universe, but perhaps just ridiculously so far apart (opposite ends of the universe, perhaps?) that both worlds have never come into contact and have extremely similar evolutions (pan-galactic morphgenic field?). If the man himself says it's unrelated, then fine, but regardless, the fans will cross them over like it's canon anyway.

Meta-Mind Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Did Lesovikk kill Karzhini?No. It's been confirmed that the disguised Great Being (Velika) killed him, as well as TK. About the "Hero Factory and Bionicle should be in the same canon" discussion: Greg has repeatedly stated that they don't exist in the same universe, no matter how interesting it might be to see the two worlds collide. Since he's stated that they're not set in the same universe, and (presumably) doesn't want to make any canon crossover between the two, then it doesn't make a lot of sense to get on him about it. Also remember that, due to both the Olmak and alternate universes, this doesn't come anywhere close to ruling out fanon crossovers between the two.

Chro Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Yeah, I was going to write out a long response... but Metamind summed that up nicely. It's been confirmed to be false for story reasons, not because they're different product lines. Fanon? Sure, and we see it a lot. Canon? No. (And as a side not, it's kind of annoying when people misunderstand the canon storyline and believe that Hero Factory and Bionicle are the same thing.) save not only their lives but their spirits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katuko Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Also remember that, due to both the Olmak and alternate universes, this doesn't come anywhere close to ruling out fanon crossovers between the two.It should be noted that the alternate dimensions in BIONICLE are still very much a BIONICLE-universe thing, and has not pulled in anything from other fictional universes. Mixing two brands just because is not good for keeping the core brand what it was.Crossovers can be cool, and funny, and awesome, but I would not want to see them in main canon. As fans we are of course free to write whatever we like, and that is good, but I want the main BIONICLE series to stay just as "the BIONICLE series" and not "the BIONICLE series plus Star Trek" (for example). There's so much to do in the canon we have established already that I think it would be almost a cop-out to start relying on other series material.

Arcalis Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 (edited) This first one isn't exactly plot related as such, and not sure if it's fair game for this discussion (by all means put it to the back in favour of questions that help us understand Bionicle more) but simply are we likely to see continuation of the serials any time soon?I know Greg has said that he will write when he has time etc but just wondering if anything a bit more solid could perhaps be given, not a date or anything like that, just , could we expect an official continuation/ chapter within the next few months, or at all (what with revelations such as who the GB is making it seem less likely, IMO at least, that proper continuations are going to occur). To simplify further, should we continue holding out for a new chapter?This may have been answered to a degree that I would be happy with, or may have been put forward by someone else before me, but not that I personally hace seen (take note that I haven't trawled through this entire topic checking.) Secondly, is there any news on Varian and what my have happened to her recently. Would something have crushed her stasis tube and free her or, in a more Alien 3 style, killed her? Would a search party have been sent (perhaps by Norik) or did TSO simply take/organise for her to be taken onto Spherus Magna and remain a trophy.

Dorek Posted April 14, 2013 Share Posted April 14, 2013 On the HF and BIONICLE crossover one: it was LEGO's decision to do so (Greg has less rein in the HF universe than he did BIONICLE). Besides, what mandates a crossover? They are two completely separate lines; if Knight's Kingdom was in BIONICLE canon, people would have flipped desks, and there's plenty of people who still hold weird grudges against Hero Factory. As someone mentioned, there is the recourse of fan fiction; nobody is stopping anybody from writing what they want about it. Also, Earth is in Hero Factory canon; you want Earth in your bionicles? I sure don't. This first one isn't exactly plot related as such, and not sure if it's fair game for this discussion (by all means put it to the back in favour of questions that help us understand Bionicle more) but simply are we likely to see continuation of the serials any time soon?I know Greg has said that he will write when he has time etc but just wondering if anything a bit more solid could perhaps be given, not a date or anything like that, just , could we expect an official continuation/ chapter within the next few months, or at all (what with revelations such as who the GB is making it seem less likely, IMO at least, that proper continuations are going to occur).

Would a search party have been sent (perhaps by Norik) or did TSO simply take/organise for her to be taken onto Spherus Magna and remain a trophy. Thanks Greg is busy with Hero Factory, Legends of Chima, and most likely Ninjago if that does end up coming back, among other things, so there isn't really a chance for any new serials any time soon, and hasn't been for some time now (sorry if you've been holding your breath for that one =P). On Varian: Greg has said before that she survived the quake, in stasis, but beyond that would have been future serial stuff, which he wouldn't plan out ahead of time anyway.

Makuta Almanax Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 (edited) Of course Gresh doesn't count. Since Glatorians and Agori don't naturally have elemental powers and their 'elements' aren't the same as the MU (like Sand) they're exempt from your question. But I agree it is a wasted opportunity. It's part of the reason I wish there'd been some kind of 'collectible Matoran' box a la Metru Nui matoran with a different colour scheme in each box. That would have been entertaining.
