first for out of stock + scalpers already on amazon
>>4626400
but scalpers were up everywhere before the sets were even out
>January
>Still no Okoto Online Game
>>4626394
gonna try again but with LOSS added to the mix
should be better than before since LOSS has that nice chunk of technic body
>>4626396

They used MNOG as an inspiration, hopefully we get more than the mobile game soon.
Also I hope if Ekimu is awakened in Summer that he makes more masks for the Villagers, that way we can start seeing some variations.
How do I unlock more pieces after completing all levels?
And the combinations?
You should try blowing into water protector's turbines. It'll make em move.
>>4626430
1 piece per day
Currently unknown, assumed to be when you find all pieces for each Toa.
Have fun waiting with us.
>>4626428
Hopefully Ekimu awakening = More masks for the story = Mask packs
>>4626434
Actually, why has no one just gone offline, change the date on their phones, played, then rinse and repeat 160~ times?
Can anyone tell me what happend in the story after stars? I mean, from the movie and the legends sets, I got that mata nui built up a new giant body, but I don't know anything else after that.
>>4626502
Mata Nui put together the prototype giant robot the great beings made, Makuta landed on the planet, they fought, Makuta took a moon to the face, the day was won.
Its best not to think about the post - 08 storyline
>>4626502
>>4626508
then...a lot of bullshit.
>Velika, the Po-matoran from Voya Nui, turned out to be a Great Being in disguise
>Kopaka and Pohatu start to solve a murder mystery and meet the clusterfuck combiner that was the center of the "Who am I?" contest
>Lewa gets kidnapped by spear-chucking primitives (whether or not he then joined the Lantern Corps was never seen)
>some B-Team Toa and Ackar went on a nondescript mission
none of these cringe-inducing stories was ever finished.
>>4626517
Legend says Lewa is still in this cage to this day. Waiting, but waiting for what, who knows.
>>4626517
Dont forget the big reveal about the Red star that ruined a lot of the series in my eyes!
>>4626508
And where was this featured? The sets? The novels? The comics? The website?
Honestly I don't get how they transitioned Makuta from some evil spirit of shadows to "MY MASTER KEIKAKU EVERYTHING WAS PLANNED"
So was he pretending to be retarded when he started grabbing those pillars when fighting Vakama? He just seems so brutish and overconfident to be a master planner in the movies and beginning of the story.
"It was part of my plan to fuse with takanuva by playing kohlii, totally."
I think Makuta was actually a massive retard who accidentally caused the great catclysm by knocking something over and made shit up as he went along.
>>4626535
Comics, bionicle serial website, I think a novel, bionicle website itself.
Read it all up on bioniclesector01
Maybe it's just from what I've seen and not read but is it me or do Earth sets always seem to get screwed on character development?
>>4626543
>Makuta
Don't you mean Teridax?
Which Makuta is best Makuta?
I vote Krika, he was a chill guy, edgy, like every single character after 2004, but at least wasnt AS edgy as his comrades.
>>4626547
GregF pls leave
>>4626552
I liked him, he knew what the fuck was up
He just told gali to up and get out of there
So were Toa Ignika and Toa Mata Nui separate beings?
I can't imagine the mask in itself having it's own personality, or was it more like a robot?
>>4626543
nah, see, that's just it, Makuta Teridax always plans for the long term, but never for the short term, so everything he does in the now that doesn't relate to his long term goals comes of as childish and brutish, because that pretty much all he is mentally, a child and a brute. He just happens to have some totes rad foresight skills.
>>4626577
>>4626577
The mask definitely has its own personality
He remembers when matoro sacrificed himself which inspired him to become a toa himself
Correct me if I'm wrong though, I think his consciousness died when he sacrificed himself however, allowing mata-nui to enter the mask instead
>>4626578
I guess it makes more sense like that
>>4626577
Separate beings. The mask itself had its own consciousness. Toa ignika was a body it made for itself or if seaweed in karda nui, "toa" Mata nun was a body it made for Mata nui out of sand.
Mata nui didn't unlock the elemental powers, it was ignika.
>>4626583
If I recall both Mata nui and ignika are still in the mask, Mata nui consciousness is just more powerful than ignika is.
I can't decide which Bionicle I want first Kopaka or Pohatu?
>>4626564
the red star only worked if you died in the matoran universe
the pit is outside the GSR if i remember
>>4626577
They were completely different folks.
The Ignika was designed to be sentient, capable of focusing and using its own power to keep itself out of the wrong hands. When Matoro used it and went Anhero, it was completely shaken and wanted to know what it was like to be a hero as well. It made itself a body and a sweet ride out of swamp crap to join the Toa Nuva and help them out. Its personality was naive and childish, and had the highest bodycount of any toa.
When Mata Nui's kernel was shunted into the Ignika, the two entities' programming came to blows. Mata Nui effectively killed the Toa Nuva's "liddle buddy" and became the sole inhabitant of the Mask of Life.
>>4626588
I always assumed ignika and mata nui were the same being in the way jesus and god are supposed to be the same being or some shit, ignika being the personality and powers of mata-nui, but none of the memories or experience.
>>4626592
why is it called a universe? It's just a collection of biodomes. I mean, sure, for the matoran's intended purpose, it would mean "the universe" to them, but is it not more accurate to say the great spirit robot now that we know better?
so what were kanohi, from a Great being's stnadpoint?
what was the decision to make all the cells of their robot explorer need masks to stay functioning?
>>4626603
either is correct, its just depending on the perspective.
the matoran had no idea ever that they were in a robot
>>4626416
nah screw it Imma pretend LOSS is this world's Roodaka or something
looks like undead abomination from warcraft 3 too
>>4626605
to keep them from doing things when they shouldn't, sort of a multipurpose on-off switch combined with a settings dial. The matoran would only do what they wanted, when they wanted. It'd be dark if the matoran weren't so fanatically supportive of it.
>>4626611
I guess that's fair. Is it ever explained what is done with the remains of the two spirit robots once the fight between them was finished?
>>4626605
BECAUSE GREG
So when is the official release date of Gali and Onua? I've bought all the other Toa retail at Target, but no Gali or Onua.
I'm watching Legend Reborn for the first time and it's so weird to hear them say Mata Nui so casually and having Jesus arrive in the middle of Mad Max and having him being an autist.
I fell out of Bionicle after the Wave 1 Phantoka so whenever I hear people talking about post-Phantoka it's all so strange.
>>4626617
>the official release date
4 days ago
they were all released at the same time
>>4626617
all the sets are available, your store might just not have put those specific sets on the shelves yet, check other stores or just use lego shop at home.
is it just me or is 2015 Tahu a pain in the ass to pose
Can we talk about how FUCKED the whole "Legend of Mata Nui" was?
Like, it was a false history that the Turaga made specifically to deceive the Matoran.
This isn't a retcon, either, IT WAS INTENDED TO BE A LIE FROM THE START.
That bitchin' animation that entranced us when we were kids? That spoke of some grand and mysterious history that the Island of Mata Nui held?
LIES.
ALL. DAMN. LIES.
>Gear functions that don't impair poseability
>Yellow gears so kids know to turn it
>Simple, yet fun to build
>Solid, well built designs
>Adrenaline mode for more action-oriented play
>Masks easily pop off, but are still sturdy enough that they stay on
>Enemy already included with each set
>Gold mask included with each Toa
>Protector's launchers work well and have easily accessible ammo
>Toa and Protector can combine for ultra battle mode
>Story already has all sorts of easter eggs/clues for people to pick apart
Lego really went all-out with this reboot.
So I made this guy out of Toa and Protector parts.

GODDAMMIT BLACK 6
THIS IS THE 4TH YEAR IN A ROW YOU'VE CHARGED ME FOR PREMIERSHIP
I DID IT ONCE AFTER YOU CHANGED THE SITE FOR OLD TIMES SAKE, BUT THIS IS STUPID.
I'M NOT EVEN GETTING THE STUPID BENEFITS, SO YOU'RE LITERALLY STEALING MONEY FROM ME
>>4626651
Thanks m8
Is it me or is Protector of Earth the only smart Protector? I'm looking at all the Toa's "power-up" forms, they're all basically the Protectors giving up their weapon to the Toa, which leaves them defenseless, except for Protector of Earth, if any of the other Protectors get jumped by spiders or other bad guys while the Toa aren't nearby they're basically screwed. Come to think of it this also makes Onua the only Toa without a ranged weapon since the others get shooters from their respective Protectors. Maybe if PoE's shooter wasn't part of his torso he'd give it to Onua too.
>>4626670
>aside from chest shooter, PoE also has his knives
Fuck yes.
>implying Onua isn't strong enough to throw his weapons
Anything is a ranged weapon if you try hard enough.
>>4626670
>Maybe if PoE's shooter wasn't part of his torso he'd give it to Onua too.
That's literally the only reason why PoE keeps it.
Onua is the best new toa
objectively
>>4626682
shame it's a one-handed hammer instead of two
+
can't shovel clap like in the videos
>>4626660
Have you tried cancelling the damn thing
Is there only 1 LoSS? All the little animations showing the Toa finding their golden mask have the LoSS there to fight them, does the LoSS just get around that fast or is there maybe multiples, one guarding each golden mask?
>>4626690
oh god does this mean I must buy 5 more
1 for each toa
my wallet
>>4626690
I still think it's funny that they have to put all this effort into stomping a few spiders
what's the point of the golden spider mask, though
>>4626688
I tried last year. I hadn't noticed that he had been charging me yearly ever since my last purchase in 2011. I contacted him about it, and he said he wanted some ids or something, and I just never replied because again, I liked BZpower for a long time, and thought whatever, it wasn't that much money. But now that it's happening again, it's not cool.
>>4626690
This would be interesting, really. The Toa face the Lord of Skull Spiders at their Golden Mask shrine-thing, and when they go to the ruins, they see it go to the Golden Skull Spider mask, and they think it's the tool for controlling all of the Skull Spiders, when, in reality, the mask was giving orders to that LOSS and that there's multiples to relay its commands.
>>4626698
bait
>>4626690
There's only one. He just gets around fast by surfing the Web. He has fios or something.
>>4626701
how is it bait? each spider is about the size of their heads and one toa is a good size to take on LOSS by themselves
How tall is original Tahu compared to his newest iteration?
>>4626698
the golden mask of shadow spiders is, in fact, a legit mask of power, with the ability to manipulate the smaller mask spiders and to sense through their senses, basically the mask of hivemind.
It is in fact through the mask that the LOSS controls the lesser spiders, not through its own natural powers.
LOSS.jpg is the easy crunchtime villain to showcase the toa powers, the real villains next wave will pose a challenge
>>4626711
old Tahu's shoulders go up to 2015 Tahu's waist
>>4626552
Lariska is my waifu
>>4626714
bohrok > skull spiders
and the next villains will fail to top the rahkshi
>>4626716
You don't even know what she look like foo
Yo that's fucked up Mata Nui, shoulda just killed him.
So, how worth it are the new bionicle? I was thinking of getting Tahu and the protector of fire dude. Would getting all 6 be worth the money?
>>4626645
I agree, although am not a big fan of the lack of substantial villains, nor the apparent silver/gunmetal curse all the Toa seem to be suffering from.
My main fear though is that LEGO will think that they did good here and thus will just rinse and repeat for three years.
>>4626729
Where do you live? And yeah I'd say get at least those 2.
>>4626729
Depends
if you have a collection of old sets/parts, buy the ones with colors you can use to make new things
that's how I'm handling it, anyway
>>4626731
Well to be fair villains have always been a second wave feature, we were lucky to get something like LOSS in the first place.
>>4626731
this, and all the protectors are just copypaste masks
and I miss the greebly mechanical look of classic bionicle
>>4626737
>what were the vahki, visorak, piraka and barraki
>>4626745
Didn't they all come out secondary apart from the Piraka?
>>4626729
The Protectors are inexpensive and have new shooters that don't use specialized ammo, just regular 1x1 studs, the Toa come at 2 price points and feature gear activated movement in one or both arms just like the original 2001 toys and come with their normal and gold masks, the only set that's kind of iffy is the actual villain set, the Lord of Skull Spiders, which while a neat set is pretty small for something that's supposed to be threatening to the Toa. All the Toa and Protectors come with a little skull spider so there's something for them to fight if that's important.
>>4626741
If the old trends hold true, then we'll be getting more begreebled parts as the theme progresses. In this day and age, the 20+ new molds we got is nothing to sneeze at, and we'll likely get more and more specialized shells with each wave.
Bought some duplicates purely for the purpose of MOCcing them and I really like how it turned out. It's kind of a blaster-staff
1/2
>>4626757
The Vahki and Visorak came out at the same time as there toa, it just depended where you lived on who you got first.
And the Barraki came before the Marhi. How can you not remember the screamer previews for 2007?
Also don't forget the villains we got in the first waves of 2008 and 2009, which were way better than LoSS.
So how many sets actually had characters using two-handed weapons?
>>4626768
But it also turns into a pickaxe for those close encounters!
>>4626757
the Piraka and Barraki came out before the Toa in their respective waves
>tfw I almost typed "there perspective waves"
>>4626769
>How can you not remember the screamer previews for 2007?
I do
Why, Lego?
>>4626761
Yeah, I noticed the spiders were a little lack luster. Hope there's something bigger along the line some time soon. Still thinking about getting the lord of skull spiders. I noticed the shooters too, thought they were super neat.
So what's everyone's favorite projectiles? Zamor Sphere master race.
> Those buildable launchers that are easily customized
> Various colors in projectiles
> Good distance

>>4626776
It was probably Gregs idea, that edgy son of a bitch.
What are the odds we get Bionicle movies again? Thought those were pretty fun to watch back in the day. Haven't seen the last movie though.
>>4626781
New six-shooter master race.
>Those buildable launchers that are easily customized
>Various colors in projectiles
>Good distance
>>4626791
Ya got me, they are pretty sweet.
>>4626791
I still love those spring-loaded cannons from Technic better though. Those were neat.
>>4626781
that spring loaded cannon thing from the exo toa
>>4626781
I always thought that the rhotuka spinners were really cool. They could attach to any technic beam and flew fairly well.
If only they would stay in place...
>>4626791
>Yfw we get belt-fed stud launchers in 2016
>>4626781
do the new stud shooters count? they seem to have good distance, are compact and can also do rapid fire, and the ammo is easy to get, although I suppose some colors may be harder to find than others.
Otherwise I agree that zamor spheres are pretty good, they still use those orbs as ammo in some system sets.
>>4626807
>tfw Lego does magazine-fed stud shooters
>>4626807
>Big character with a giant, glorified stud launcher in one hand, and holding the belt in the other
Please Lego
>>4626818
I tried it last night. The longer the object, the harder it is for it to stay in place. I think anything over three studs tall has trouble not getting knocked around. I tried six and couldn't even get them all in without them popping off.
>>4626762
fair point. I hope the look of new weapon parts and armor attachments aren't just a tease
>>4626803
Rhotuka spinners are my fucking favourite, just seeing them launch into the air is amazing

Am I missing anything?
>>4626967
thornax launchers I think
I need more villains for my toa to fight. Is Toxic Reapa as good as he looks?
>>4626967
Cordak blasters
>>4626967
Corral blasters, Mydak skyblasters, Tridax Pods, Nynrah Ghost Blasters, Thornax Launchers.
Oh and... Squid Launchers. :u
>>4626973
He has a pretty cool build and a fun design, but no hands. Good parts though.
>>4626973
He looks pretty fuckin' neato
>>4626973
I always thought of toxic reapa being an old lady
>>4626978
Are those any good?
>>4626973
Toxic Reapa is one of my favorite hero factory villains, a lot of the villains from the Breakout wave would fit in with Bionicle without looking too out of place, and also the villains from the Jungle Planet wave since they're basically all various animals. In fact the giant scorpion and witch doctor could work as titans for the current Bionicle story, instead of LoSS, the Witch Doctor could be the one controlling the skull spiders.
>>4627010
>Cordak Blaster
Decent but temperamental. Kinda bulky and a little to heavy, but looks cool.
>Mydak Skyblaster
Super effective, but really large and heavy. Also feels the least like a LEGO launcher.
>Tridax Pods
Not so much a launcher as a bomb dropping mechanism. They look really cool just as is though, and were a fun mechanism.
>Nynrah Ghostblasters
Kinda shite but looked interesting.
>Thornax launchers
Not great, but okay. LEGO kinda spammed them in HF so they got old really quickly.
>Squid Launchers
lolwut
On biosector it said Teridax is Gregs wow character name, talk about being a hack
>>4626967
If you're talking projectile launchers in general, aside from >>4626978 there's:
>Pirates cannon that shoots 1x1 round bricks
>flick fire missiles
>small catapults
>large brickbuilt catapults
>1x4 brick with pressure-launched missiles
>minifig-held stud shooters
>2015 minifig super jumpers
>collapsible brickbuilt walls (ie. exploding wall in LotR Helm's Deep)
And BIONICLE builds that technically count as projectile launchers:
>Krana-launching Bohrok faceplates
>Kraata-launching Rahkshi backs
>finger-propelled Visorak (and later HF jumper beasts)
>mask-launching 2015 heads
lmao an assmad furry who doesn't even like bionicle is trying to bait us on tumblr.
i figgered you guys would like this. or not idk its just something i found.

>destroyed
>>4626781
>>4626791
>>4626967
>>4627025
>>4627044
So just from a Technic/Bangle perspective, there's
>RoboRider Wheel Tosser
less launcher, more wheel-catapult
>Throwbot/McToran disks
Spring-loaded arm action, guaranteed to lose your disks behind a nearby couch
>Technic missile launcher/"Blunt Shooter"
Cool, but the springs were BuzzBee'd toward the end
>Bohrok Krana Launcher
Parasitic face-raper. Nuff said
>Kraata ejection
bleh
>Disk launchers
The Matoran editions were plentiful and definitely a step up from the McToran ways, but the Vahki jaws were weaksauce
>Rhotuka Spinners
Great in terms of distance and noise factor (whizzzZZZZZZZZZZ!), but were fuckall hard to aim
>Zamor launchers
fuckin' instant classic.
>Squid launchers
more like a doofy crossbow ring/dog poop inclusion combo-pack.
>Cordak launchers
fuckin' neato, but the projectiles were easy as tits to lose.
>Skyblasters
the repeating rifle to the Zamor's blunderbuss...with all the same drawbacks.
>Nynrah ghostblasters
Neato in concept, lame in execution
>Thornaxx launcher
2edgy name with lots of x's or z's? Check.
infinite rehashability? Check.
Actually functions as a fun launcher? NOPE.
>rapid stud shooters
easy ammo and customization of the Zamor launcher, but in a sleek and compact package.
>>4627025
I like squid launchers. Shots weren't the best, but getting what is essentially Rahi used as ammo? Priceless.
>>4627050
>UGH WHAT A TOXIC AND FRANKLY GROSS AND PROBLEMATIC COMMUNITY
Oh dear why don't 8 year olds try to understand the problem of diversity in the story oh dear fucking toxic 8 year olds, all they want to do is play with their shiny robots instead of discussing diversity ugh!
Why don't they understand that children do not know shit about sexuality and it's broadened themes?
>>4627053
>Shots weren't the best
Are you telling me that you actually managed to fire one of those things?
But yeah the concept behind them had many keks, especially how all the other barraki were creeped out by Kalmahs obsession with the squid.
>>4627049
Let's not start this shit again, please.
>>4627049
I'll say it AGAIN, who gives a shit.
> Bricklink has some of my favorite old sets for less than $5

>>4627088
How much is shipping generally when purchasing from a place in europe? I was gonna purchase some sets but I was worried about the shipping costs since I am in australia and there were no clear guides on how to calculate the shipping costs. (Or I just really suck at this shit)
>>4627092
Different people charge different amounts. Best is to mail the guy and ask him.
Don't know where in Europe your seller is located, but just so you know shipping in Europe is pretty expensive.
>>4627096

Is there any good read on Bionicle Lore?
I played with the toys back in the day but I never got into the lore, I got back when I saw Tahu in the store the other day but now I wanna learn about the old lore, it sounds really cool but I feel that I can't grasp it, the first ones are the oldest and most of the other sets are prequel stuff or what?
>>4627136
Most of the books (and honestly most of the actually good stuff) is linked to in the OP.
The breakdown is as follows:
>BIONICLE Chronicles - four books in chronological order
>BIONICLE: Mask of Light - one book, occurs directly after Chronicles (adaptation of a movie you don't need to see)
>BIONICLE Adventures - ten books set 100 years and a few months before the events in BIONICLE Chronicles, the prologues/epilogues to each of them will require knowledge of the characters and events in Chronicles
>BIONICLE Legends - eleven books set shortly after Mask of Light, following the story all the way until the end of the supposed "first story" of the cancelled BIONICLE G1.
>>4627136
At the very top are the books
Start from the first one bruh
I am actually readings legends #7 now
Greg is a good writer, just not a good serial writer
>>4627160
The serials started around 2007 I believe
Just make your way to them from that year
>>4627165
But what about the 2008 ones? Do they happen before or after Legends 11?
>>4627168
http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Serials
They can be read during the year at any time
>>4627129

>local stores don't have new Bonkles yet, they may get them om Thursday, but that isn't certain

Wait, what. This is actually news to me. How is that even possible? More importantly, why? Why have little islands inside of spherical cavities inside of a giant fucking astronomy robot? Weren't the Matoran supposed to supposed to be maintenance nanomachines? If that's still the case, there's no point to the islands because they wouldn't even know the difference if the great beings just dropped them inside the robot. How do they even do their job? How is the Red Star visible anywhere outside Metru Nui, or for that matter, outside the GSR? Is it outside the GSR? If that's the case, how is it visible from inside the GSR?
Slightly different gripe, but what was the point of masks and elemental powers if they were just nanomachines? It was some kind of accident, right? I can't imagine too many instances where those would help with keeping a giant robot functioning, or why the great beings would go out of their way to design something like that.
>>4627225
Maybe it was visible through the two sun eye holes at night
Actually I don't recall a section where someone saw the red star inside the universe
>>4627225
Your points aside, I'm amused that your biggest gripe about BIONICLE lore is one of the few things that was decided before the line even launched.
>>4627238
Wonder if there ever was a ga-matoran diving around, wondering what the fuck that huge metal structure in the ocean was.
>>4627055
seriously what the fuck is wrong with these people
I read a post about how the original series was apparently problematic because the female characters were pretty much all water-themed, which is typical for this sort of thing.
It's a goddamn toy line about robots
I bet these are the same kind of people that assigned sexualities to fn@f animatronics
>>4627251
In MNOG there were a bunch of onu-matoran miners who stated they could not dig any further because the metal in the ground was impenetrable, a sneaky reference to the face of mata nui underneath the island
>>4627255
So Makuta's lair was actually inside the robot?
And speaking of the robot, what was the deal with Voya Nui and Pit? Did Voya make it all the way to the surface after the cataclysm or did it just stay in limbo somewhere between top and bottom?
>>4627238
Nah, the giant robot blew my goddamn mind back in 2008, and I still think it's a cool twist that was rarely alluded to, even if a little over-thought and under-thought in a few areas. I just assumed that the islands were all naturally formed on top of the robit, and that there were plenty of passages to equivalents of Mangaia on each one like on Mata Nui.
Why even create the Bohrok if it's just one island that needed to be destroyed?
>>4627261
Bohrok were just a backup. IF Mata Nui crashed and IF his camouflage function activated.
It was just bad luck that Vakama and co. decided to live there.
>>4627261
Because they gotta give mata nui a clean shave yo
>>4626528
That was pretty much the one thing Greg wrote that I will vehemently declare not canon. What a load of fucking shit that was. So every single death that has ever occurred in the series no longer has any weight, because they're all just upstairs and waiting to be respawned? What a load of bullshit.
![Daxia_Bohrok_and_AvMatoran_Sculpture[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/RDgFXn5.png "Daxia_Bohrok_and_AvMatoran_Sculpture[1].png")
Makes you think how early on they decided the Matoran are Bohrok-thing.
And it makes Boxor extra creepy. Nuparu just ripped apart former Matoran and made a kickass tank out of it.
>>4627269
There is this, but im sure there is a more detailed image out there
>>4626543
Greg pretty much forgot Makuta had the Mask of Shadows and decided to give him the Mask of the Everything-Proof Shield. Ever since about 2004 he started acting like the most obnoxious kid on a playground.
"NOOOO, UH, ACTUALLY I SURVIVE BECAUSE I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO DO THAT!"
"NUH-UH, DOESN'T WORK ON ME BECAUSE I NOW HAVE THIS POWER WHICH BLOCKS YOU!"
"HAHA, SORRY BUT NO, THAT'S NOT GOING TO EFFECT ME BECAUSE I'M TOO STRONG FOR YOU!"
>>4627266
I do wonder though, why would they need to clean the island if Mata Nui just breaks through that shit anyway?
It's funny. The whole story reminds me a lot of mythological and religious texts. Some really strange shit going on at times, some things that just make little to no sense and quite a lot of internal inconsistencies, but it still makes for an interesting story.
>>4627277
The vaporized karda nui makuta couldn't go to heave- er, red star because the spirit also got vaporized :^)
Teridax got his head fucking caved in and was the spirit of the giant robot so he can get fucked
/bio/ tell me ur edgy headcannons for ur mocs please.
>>4627281
My theory is that everything that isn't retracted into the robot has to be removed because actual future inhabitants of the planet could just so happen to investigate that area of the sea floor and find remains of tons of strange plants, structures and artifacts. If the island is blank before it breaks apart, all that is left behind is a big pile of earth.
>>4627258
Voya Nui floated all the way from Great Spirit Robot's lower chest to surface-level Aqua Magna, where the Mata Nui island was.
The Pit was on Aqua Magna itself, rather than inside the robot.
>>4627278
The quality of makuta in the movies and book is inconsistent
You have movie "lets not use all my powers and play around with vakama by grabbing large rocks for fun lel" makuta and then you have the time trap makuta who wants to get shit done but Vakama won't let him because Vakama actually got cool for once
>>4627287
Good point.
>>4627291
Roodaka was awsome in both the movie and the books
>>4626973
Toxic Reapa was pretty cool, and I'm kinda disappointed I never got him. I admit, I have a little bit of a boner for Bionicle and Hero Factory sets that can use either Technic or CCBS with System. Like Kongu Mahri as well.
He was weird in the cartoon though. Apparently a hero committing infanticide is alright when they're villains.
>>4627053
>That picture
>>4627261
>Tfw the Mata Nui Rising video was released on my birthday
>>4627272
The early Bionicle years had a thing for that. First Nuparu ripped people apart to build a tank, then Takanuva came in, murdered all of Makuta's children and then turned their corpses into a bike which he used to ram through the guy's front door.
He just could not give a fuck.
>>4627305
>a vision of the edge to come
So I just finished reading all of the Legends books, and I'm still trying to get over a few things. Firstly, this:
>"Onua readied his Midak Skyblaster - and then discovered to his surprise that his weapon was no longer a skyblaster. It had morphed into something resembling Bitil's launcher."
What the fuck? Why did the Mistika trio randomly have their blasters transformed like that? Is this explained in the serials or something?
Another unexplained thing was the Av-Matoran having a telepathic link with the Phantoka trio when riding on their backs. Not only was it unimportant, it too was also never explained.
Next is the Toa stumbling on a group of Av-Matoran transforming into Bohrok. Once again, what the fuck? Was that necessary? It just felt like Greg was trying to make every itty bit as grimdark as possible.
Lastly, why did the Toa Nuva reawaken Mata Nui even after the realised it was all part of the Makutas keikaku? And why did the Makuta pretend to try to kill them?
>>4627314
The blasters were part of the adaptive armor, and they adapted.
The whole mental link was a big deal in promotional stuff
We've been over Bohrok in this very thread
THE WHOLE STORY starting from 2001 was about reawakening Mata Nui.
>>4627272
>Makes you think how early on they decided the Matoran are Bohrok-thing.
Very. -Very- early.
>>4627314
LE ADAPTIVE ARMOUR MEME
>>4627318
But those blasters were made by the Nynrah Ghosts, not Artahka. Or did it simply copy the makudies?
>>4627314
They had to do it because the mask of life was in countdown mode and would have killed everyone in the MU if they are too late or something.
>>4627318
>was a big deal in promotional stuff
As in, "buy more of our sets please"
>>4627319
That poster makes you wonder if they ever had designs for the stages between matoran and bohrok.
>>4627318
>The whole mental link was a big deal in promotional stuff
Oh, so it was another one of those things that Greg disliked but had to write about it anyway (eg Miserixs dragon form).
>>4627328
Well, it made sense with the Makuta being blind.
Not much sense, but at least little.
>>4627328
Pretty much, yeah.
Does anyone know the reason for the Phantoka powering-up besides "buy more toys"? Was it because they wanted to allow the canisters to carry the matoran, because the matoran already have jetpacks/batwings.
>>4627286
This guy is called kama-nui
He was the second brother of mata nui who was not given a robot
He possesses all mask powers including life, and his tentacle and asorb u on touch

I figure that it was sort of like cheap-ass combiner models, like the "power up" ones we are getting this wave.
It was kind of cute though.

bzpower worthy fanon.
>>4627338
he is also gay by the way
>>4626823
and i bet he'll be voiced by a black guy in the show
why do you guys want bionicle to be so cliched
>>4627319
Wait... That second to last one looks scarily similar to a Skull Spider...
>>4627342
The black guy always dies first though

Stop oppressing that poor genderfluid person you privileged cis scum. Gender is a spectrum you know.

That makes sense.
>>4627319
Headcanon: those things on the side are Great Beings.
>>4627361
Oh, so that's why the people of Mata Nui and Voya Nui weren't mutated. Thanks.
>>4627370
Yeah, Aqua Magna water is just regular water.
>>4627129
>not axonn
do it for the order of mata nui, toa goys
>>4627286
this guy here is a bohrok vet, from the first wave that went head to head with the toas.
he was a pussy, lost half of his body and retreated.
but because he was the only one to survive, he was greeted as a war hero, and is now a bohrok master tactician.
the catch is, he thinks the toas fight all the time like he saw them fight in the encounter he had, so he just keeps sending troops to slaughter.
the blue guy is his biggest fan and his servant.
>>4627396
I really need to put my Bohrok back together. They were cool.
>>4627388
Too late for me, anon.
>>4627403
You should give him his Koli-ball
>>4627388
goyim*
>>4627400
i know.
too bad i couldnt find all the parts to the white one.
had to gimmick him.
>>4627403
Good work anon
I love new OC, we need more bonkle OC in this thread

Any of you have this? How easy is it to replicate?
>>4627408
>toa goyim, toa of magnetism
>he lived on a small island where small matoran coins were used to buy items
>somehow he always had more coins then he was paid too
>it was said that it was futile to search for coins around the area, as the toa had already made sure every single penny was his
>>4627416
It looks incredibly easy to replicate. 17 bricks high, two studs thick.
>>4627333
They just wanted kids to buy both the canister sets and the Matoran ones too. They figured the best way to make them do this was to have the Toa and Makuta give everyone piggy backs. I thought it was sweet.
My headcanon is that Gavla would occasionally ask Vamprah to do a loop-de-loop in her own tsundere way. Vamprah would oblige, not saying anything.
>>4626789
>Haven't seen the last movie though.
Don't even bother. Also, doubt we're getting a movie anytime soon, even though the lore seems thin enough that it could be presented as a movie without losing much stuff, like with the rest which left out or failed to explain tons of things.
>>4627388
Why is Hewkii mocking his older self?
>>4627433
On that note, I wonder if Takua ever triggered some secret special power when he touched the Toa, seeing as he was an Av-Matoran.
>>4627435
Because he is a manlet now
>>4627435
>Ha ha, you're ugly
And Inika has wrong chestplate, this bothers my autism.

Bought Queen Beast on clearance and revamped her into the Queen of Skull Spiders.
>True ruler of the Skull Spiders
>LoSS is just a deceitful brute
>Stole the GMoSS from one of Makuta's abandoned forges, which was originally a gift to her majesty
>Traps QoSS within a tomb, and takes control of her horde
>Upon the Toa defeating the LoSS and making their way to the ancient city, they accidentally free her
>She promises to let them pass if they give her the GMoSS
>Tahu, Kopaka and Pohatu want to rek her shit
>Onua gives her the mask against their wishes
>She casts it into a river of lava beneath them (on a bridge or something)
>She goes back to ruling her kingdom within the interim between Okoto and the ancient city
Something like that. We just have no backstory on the horde and highly doubt we will anyways. LoSS just doesn't cut if for me as the "big bad" of the spiders. Potato quality because of IPod.

What the fuck is he talking about
What are some good slightly uncommon parts that are always good to stock up on tons of for MOCing, /biog/?
