This thread is for discussing sets, MOCs, Lore, and everything related to Bionicle (new and old), Hero Factory, Chima, and everything else that uses CCBS. let's try our best to keep the discussions as civil as possible.
IT'S HAPPENING
Old thread: >>4583065

First for Makuta
first for this epic black dicks tripfag meme needs to stop
How do you display your bonkles
>>4586770
THAT POST LITERALLY TRIGGERED ME
>>4586770
I'm not a meme, I'm a BZP admin

>>4586764
Yeah, no, that mask still sucks
>>4586772
My few old sets that're intact+MOCs on the toip shelf of my bookshelf and the rest is sorted into boxes by piece colour.
Gonna ask again, do you guys got that pic on how to make the gearbox on LDD?
>>4586794
This is the only thing I've got
>>4586764
wait, so he comes with two pairs of high friction attachments, one for his waist and one for his ankles?
holy shit
somebody's getting bought in bulk
What was the leaked Hau that everyone is angry over? Can someone post it? I seemed to have missed it. And to be honest, I dont see a problem with the new Hau. The resemblance to the old mask is very apparent.
>>4586774
I, fefifoself, was triggered before I even read it! Beat that!
>>4586831
Pic related
>>4586834
Ok that is slightly better. The breathy slits are more pronounced.
>>4586764
So where did this guy get his?
>>4586851
> in the last thread
>>4586857
yeah I ordered it from the TRU website.
>>4586857
So now the mail randomly distributes Bionicle sets without any point of origin?
I also want to know where he got it from. The mail is not a valid source.
>>4586857
Yes, let me go to the mail and buy one from them!
>>4586862
>>4586863

I still have no idea how the hell people don't recognize that shitposter despite the fact that he's been trolling with the exact same style for months now in these threads.

Actually, I think one of those suggestions might work.

>>4586895
It's because most of the underage faggots in this thread are from BZP and only came here recently because they wanted to join in the shit-talk about the mods. Which is fine and all, but they all fall for the simplest ruses and try to spread shitty memes that is even more fucking retarded than anything from BZP ("bonkle" is SOO cool as a word guiz).
>>4586898
Are you new? If you've been on 4chan long enough you would already know. Of course you aren't, what can I expect from all the undrage idiots who browse this general.

That sounds fucking terrible and generic and nothing like Bionicle. Just because it's ambient does not mean that it's Bionicle.

I'm 18 you cockgobbler. I get lorefag, but "baitgulping"? Is this referring to people who eat bait or what? What even counts as bait in this thread anyway? It seems as if every time someone has an opinion different to what the majority believe, no matter how they phrase it, everyone gets mad.
>>4586914
>Style is bad

Haha oh wow
>>4586922
>Hans Zimmer bass mess
I guess I'm one of those weirdos who likes the orchestral Bionicle movie music the best.
>>4586949
I dispute you. This song sounds like country rock or some shit.
music with lyrics < instrumental music for Bionicle.
I don't care how fitting the lyrics are. Gimme sick bongo drums instead.

Sure you are pal, just like EVERYONE else in this thread. Did you turn 18 the moment you wrote that?

>>4586967
I've been here since the very first 2015 leaks earlier this year. The Dark Hunter group building thing was actually my idea too, but I didn't participate in it.
And no, I seriously don't know what /biog/ bait is. It seems like when someone shares an opinion, such as "CCBS is simplistic shit compared to technic", autists like you get mad and spam bait gifs. If you're that easily annoyed, why not stay on tumblr or bzp?
>>4586980
>The Dark Hunter group building thing was actually my idea
nigger, what
>>4586982
Generic hollywoodshit meant for a shitty kids movie.
It's still better than the examples you posted.
>>4586970
I'M REALLY FEELIN' IT!
>>4586985
Yep, I remember in the general with Subterranean as the pic in the first post, we were all discussing the best and worst Dark Hunters. Someone said that someone should figure out how to make instructions for some of the better ones, and I said that we should make them until more 2015 info came out. Someone else interpreted that as "Let's make our own Dark Hunter for 2015!", so yeah.
The only reason I bring it up is to show how long I've been here.
>>4586980
>If you're that easily annoyed, why not stay on tumblr or bzp?
Because that would mean I'd have to run across your shitty blog again. And I see enough of that shit as is here.
>I've been here since the very first 2015 leaks earlier this year.
Glad to know that BZP brought you here then underage faggot.
>>4586982
Better than the messes Hans Zimmer farts out when he's recording for a generic action blockbuster.
>>4586998
That gives me a great idea, THIS should be the theme music for all of bionicle! :^)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDyAouw3nUw
Imagine how FUCKING EPIC dubstep would be and how appealing it would be to the kidz!
>>4586996
A friend who shares my love of bionicle sent me a link to /biog/ over Skype, that's how I got here. I did use BZP, many years ago, but was banned in 2010 for arguing with the cunt mods about how Bionicle was better than HF, at around the same time they started being funded for TLG. That was when I knew that there was some serious corruption going on.
Believe what you want to believe though, if it makes you feel any better, I obviously can't convince you.
>>4586975
>Local church groups decides to set up a play based on Bionicle 2001
Holy fuck, let the fanfiction and SJW-nut crushing begin.
>>4587002
It would be more fitting for Hero Factory. I get what you're trying to do, but I'm just throwing my thoughts in.
>>4587006
>banned in 2010 for arguing with the cunt mods about how Bionicle was better than HF
Not even him, but why would you argue that with anyone in the first place?
>>4587006
Dumbass. BZP got money from TLG like six years before that in the form of actual cash. I remember before I was banned by Bionicle fucking Rex back in 2005 there was a disclaimer on the bottom that said something like "BZP has received money from TLG to fund operations but is not affiliated with or endorsed by TLG."
>>4587017
Because I someone who enjoys lore over sets, and after reading up on the HF lore, I was angry that they decided to throw away such a massive universe (and an unfinished story), one year before its tenth anniversary, in favour of basic shit. I made my opinions heard, and while most agreed with me, the mods did not.
>>4587021
Huh, never knew that. I guess I didn't notice because before 2010 I never drew enough attention to myself to get banned.
On a side note:
>"BZP has received money from TLG to fund operations but is not affiliated with or endorsed by TLG."
How can a site receive money from TLG without being endorsed by them? Either you're remembering things wrong or whoever wrote that disclaimer was retarded.
>>4587023
Orchestral music doesn't fit Bionicle period. Leave that shit to LotR or something. The appeal of Bionicle is that it's about cybernetic beings in an archaic society. You need some tribal or electronic to go with that.
Also, if you want good orchestral music, go listen to the Godfather soundtrack.
>>4587023
If Bionicle were to go cinematic, I guess this wouldn't be too bad.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W0IWB6qEn9o
It has a tribal, roaring sound to it. Akin to something I could hear when the Toa were battling Makuta, or even any given Rahi.

>>4587044
Yep, they're retarded. Just because they get paid to run the site by TLG, chosen to judge official competitions, and receive free passes to conventions like NYCC, doesn't make them endorsed at all!

>reading a Swamp Thing storytime on /co/

Whoa. What are the odds?
>>4587008
Actually, if it was the Unitarian Universalist church, it would work pretty well. See, they have seven color-coded principles that they base morality around.
>Red = Respect all Beings
>Orange = Offer Fair and Kind Treatment
>Yellow = Yearn to Learn Throughout Life
>Green = Grow in Spirit and Mind
>Blue = Believe in Your Ideas and Act on Them
>Indigo = Insist on Peace, Freedom and Justice
>Violet = Value the Connections in All Creation
And wouldn't you know, map each of the seven Original Toa (mata+takanuva) to their corresponding color, and you have a lesson each could learn.

Damn, looks like I left the states a little too early, because I'll probably be staying in Deutschland through January. ;_;
Any Eurofags know some good places around Duisburg or Mainz that I could check for the new sets?
>implying the entire soundtrack for this game doesn't fit greatly with the primitive and unfamiliar realm that Bionicle had in its early years.

According to the German catalog they won't be released there until February. I dread to find out what that means for release in Denmark...

Its bad because lego is being cheap as usual. You think its acceptable that they threw away all the old terminology for these new reddit pewdiepie loving underages? I thought minecraft was made exclusively for them.
>>4587267
They could at least have the box fold into something cool.
>>4587302
You could at least figure out yourself what you could do with it. Do you lack creativity?
Daily reminder that bzp is cancer.

What even is the cool BIONICLE kids' place now? What turned BZP to shit (unless it always was and I'm delusional).

Nobody? Well here's another soundtrack that suites Bionicle fairly well.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6NpliDiLTE

I thought it was because all the mods are beta white males.
>>4587319
>Nobody?
>posts dk
no thank you
>>4587321
Can it be both?
>>4587321
They are. Hence why sjw members have free reign to spew political garbage like gender roles and the patriarchy along with "muh progressive headcannons". The mods made it a circlejerk of special snowflakes and autists.
>>4587324
It's always both.
I find it funny though that BZP's problem used to be Christians and now it's uber-liberal SJWs.
> and then you realize that the SJWs used to be Christian before they went to college, where their minds were warped
>>4587206
Oh shit, I remember this game.
>>4587337
Funny, I heard one of the former BS01 moderators was a fundamentalist Christian. Never interacted with him to ever know of it though.
I wonder if this new bionicle will introduced athiesm.

> even in 2001, Bionicle was considered an overall dumbing down
>>4587376
Slizer and riders had more technic elements. It was a dumbing down, even the rahi were more interesting.

Do you even the last thread?
>>4587389
what the fuck am I looking at. Work on your lighting.
>>4587389
Even WHAT the next thread? Read? Participate in?
You're leaving out a rather vital verb there.
I really hate the yellow gears, lego should have made them in grey even black would have been easy on the eyes and not be such an eye sore. Its like they need it to be bright colors because children wouldn't notice the parts right out of the bags.

Bionice Heroes may have been a controversial game as far as its quality is considered, but I don't think it can be argued that its soundtrack was anything less than great.

This is like the most perfect jungle theme I've ever heard.
>>4587426
I'd rather have more toys than more video games.

>>4587440
It must be interesting having no mocs.
>>4587430
What the fuck does that have to do with anything
>>4587443
Bionicle heroes was a terrible game and thankfully the last attempt ever. I'd rather see more webgames instead of 60 dollar tripe such as that.
Called my local target they looked up a DPCI code I found. (204-00-1012 for those interested)
Not a single target in my city, Tucson, AZ has any Bionicle. Phoenix does though.
But driving two hours to that shithole is out of the question.
>>4587447
I'm glad I spent my money on the DS version.
>>4587459

Why are you even here?
>>4587465
I can get both, can I?
>>4587459
DS version was actually a lot fun IMO
i actually put the time in to complete the game.
6/10 might actually play it now.
>>4587465
Yes because one always replaces the other.

Red Ranger over-interest happening here. Too child-driven. I'm sure that there won't be anything like the g1 Matoro that sacrifices himself (twice) in this reboot.
>>4587469
This is /toy/. Video games are not toys, they are video games. The only game worthy of time is the mnog because of how deep the lore goes. Everything else is just mindless filler.
>>4587480
hey hey but it is a game based on these toys so it is very much relevant..
>>4587477
Good. Bionicle should adhere to what power rangers has done for years and keep it nice and simple and focus on the core team.
>>4587483
>It's a decent Metroid Prime Hunters clone

>>4587517
They're about Bionicle. They feature the Bionicle toys.
Go step on a Lego.
>>4587519
Well its a shame the reboot throws it all out, seeing how thats what at the heart of this thread, even in the op too.
>>4587521

>>4587529
Shame no one wanted to talk about hero factory because everyone wanted to be a negative nancy over it.
>>4587531
I wanted to, but I was waiting for people to get done talking about music.
>>4587544
Shame no one ever talks about slizers or past technic sets like spybotics or the original mindstorm. Shame its all just generic action figure lore building and nothing creative building/toy wise. Just lore building. Lore Lore Lore, I am Lore.
>>4587207

The only reason it'll do well is because of 01-03 nostalgiafags and little kids who don't know any better.

God I used to pay too much attention to that site.
>>4587851
well that probably describes how bzp turned out to be such a shithole.

>Allows user to transmute parts of their body to imitate homologous structures on any living thing they can see
>examples: Noble mask user sees a tarakava, imitates tarakava's arm
Great:
>Allows user to transform into any living thing they can see
>Allows user to transform into any nonliving object they have studied
Cons:
>Transformed shape cannot exceed user's original mass. eg, a Toa that mimics a kane-ra will become a kane-ra the size and mass of a Toa.
>Mimicked form copies physical abilities only, not any latent powers. A Toa of Air can mimic a Toa of Fire, but will still be limited to his air abilities
Composition:
>Reconstitute at Random + Regeneration
I updated the "Infected Lewa" slightly. Haven't had that much time to work on it with finals and all, but I "infected" the mask a little more
>>4588075
i'd be impressive if it were a toy and not just some drawing
>>4588080
I remember this one guy on BZP who did some amazing looking paintjobs and shit on masks on commission.
Can't remember the name, though.
>>4588071
Oh shit, the Mask of Mimickry now works by "Animorphs" rules.
>user can touch and "acquire" a living creature and transform into them at any time
>a time limit is associated with the transformation. If a being spends too much time in another form, they'll become lost in the body's memories and instincts.
>Another being using a Komau could manually switch the mask off, reversing the transformation
>A being using a Suletu could temporarily clear the mental fog, allowing the "stuck" mimic to revert on their own
>>4588086
does protodermis fuel the powers of masks?

Life is suffering.
>>4588088
Well the Kanohi are made from Kanoka, which apparently get their different powers from the properties and purity of the Liquid Protodermis they're forged from. So, kind of?
>>4588137
nah, but this time they are biological. do they need to eat protodermis to use their powers this time round?
>>4588141
Oh, in G2? No idea, protodermis hasn't been mentioned so it could just be magic for all we know (which would be a lot cooler and 2001-style IMO)
>>4588144
But how much magic do they have, does it dimish after constant use?
>>4588145
I guess we'll learn more about that as the webisodes and such come out. I'm interested to see how they handle the lore this time around.
>>4588144
there was never any instances of 'magic' in Gen 1 bionicle was there?
>>4588155
I guess not so much "magic" as the source of elemental powers, etc. was left to the imagination. It was more mysterious than later years where they tried to explain every little detail of how the world works with SCIENCE!™
>>4588157
I guess parents got angry at the religious inference.
>>4587255
They are, but for some reason we still get the short end of the stick compared to the US.
>>4588161
Maybe. There's a reason they dropped the voodoo motif early in the design phase, I'm sure. Come to think of it, going with a voodoo theme probably would have caused as much or even more backlash from minority groups as the use of Maori terms.
>>4588166
There wasn't really that much of a "Voodoo" motif inasmuch as a "South-Pacific Islander" one. Growing up in the American south, you know how to spot voodoo a mile off.
It's pretty chill, basically Christianity with more emphasis on spiritualism and snakes.

Why am I hyping?
>>4588196
>The Protectors wear sacred Elemental Masks that have been passed down through the generations from father to son along with the Prophecy of Heroes [...]
>>4588204
And yet someone, somewhere, will whine about it.
When Tahu was interrupted and was like "Uh, was it something I said?" I honestly laughed really hard. The timing in these are just awesome.
>>4588205
Theres no mention of family, it sounds more like a heir to continue because they can't live forever and create a son to continue their mask's history
>>4588210
Yeah, the comedy works way better than I expected. I still wish there were actual voice actors instead of just the narrator, but on the other hand I can't wait for his Gali voice.
>>4588212
>the comedy works way better than I expected
What? I thought it was just small bits to relax the tense situations.
>>4588204
dude, let me be hype.
Anyway, the fact remains that the villager in question is more childlike, and since no red star bullshit in G2 I feel it's safe to assume that he's someone's kid...unless...
>he's an orphan
>found on outskirts of Fire Village
>taken in and raised by Uncle Protector
>Uncle Protector senses some great destiny for the kid, grooms him for leadership
>two or three waves from now he becomes Toa of Light
>OR TOA OF TIME
>HE GETS SECOND HALF OF VAHI
>RIDES THE TEMPORAL RESONANCE BACK TO G1 UNIVERSE TO COMPLETE THE MASK
>HE MEETS HIS AU COUNTERPART
>THINK OF THE HIJINKS
>>4588215
I could understand the child being orphan because his father was killed, but the crossover into alternative reality would confuse children. I Think lego is gonna play safe on this.
>>4588214
Small bits of comedy, which is exactly what I mean. I was a little worried that they might shove jokes in there just because, but the way it's actually being done flows well and seems completely appropriate.
>>4588179
> and then, with a glorious crash, the Toa landed upon Okoto and /biog/ stopped shitposting because they were so fucking hyped
>>4588218
PLAY IT SAFE?! IT'S HYPETIME AGAIN! WE CAN BE REALISTIC LATER, JUST HAVE FUN AND SAVE THE CONSTRUCTIVE DIALOG FOR WHEN THE RUSH WEARS OFF

>>4588210
>>4588212
>Tahu taking out the multitude of skull spiders by just blundering about, trying to position his shield.
I genuinely shouldn't have laughed as hard as I did. I don't know whether I'm just giving it bonus points for being Bionicle, but that was just perfect.
>>4588220
I think it needs more comedy, the set up with gold masks is what every body knows. Its just lack luster if they don't fight monsters that don't ever get technic gets like the old g1 was like. Lego should try to be like the hobbit and draw it out a bit.
http://www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle/characters/tahu-69e2277efc454e4cb147feefa5025fe2
And then there's also this.
>That roar in his voice
I think I just had an orgasm
>>4588222
We should be realistic though, its not even 2015 and bionicle have ninjego and chima to compete with. Hyping up is just gonna dissapoint.
>>4588226
I just wish they'd gotten a female voice actor to do Gali's stuff. It's so awkward to hear it in the same guy's voice.

I don't like the new heros, all have a deep voice. It was more diverse in the original movie, even kopaka didn't say much giving him much more character than this new kopaka does. And much clearer too, didn't have a gravely voice.
I love how the Protector/"Turaga" takes off his cloack and turns from wise elder guy to "I have a shoulder gatling gun,let's do this shit quickly!"

So generic. No unique way of introduction, let alone different lines of dialogues. Even Lewa doesn't have his unique le-koro accent anymore.

Explains why it rustled me the wrong way. Heres hoping their introductions are just as unique as the original film was.

>>4588266
>So generic
help my fuck, would people stop using that word so much.
The character ads aren't "generic." Generic means that the entire set has features in common with another group of sets.
If multiple items in a set share features with one another, then they're repetitive, or cohesive. God's love, would you educate yourself.
>>4588280
Anon, wait for universal release of the sets. Jesus...
>>4588269
You said it yourself. It's a London accent. He sounds like someone from Eastenders.
>>4588282
You know what was repetitive? Hero factory. Heres hoping they stray away from how generic that shit was and deliver the goods for us true fans in this reboot.
>>4588287
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
>>4588286
no it isn't. London is more round and pharyngeal, not nearly as throaty as Potato's.
>INB4 you're Rush Limbaugh and can't register certain sounds
>you will never own these
>>4588287
Yeah, because Bionicle wasn't repetitive with its rehashed Nuvas and Kals, clone sets and overused Inika builds.

>anons posting

>>4588294
>bootlegs

>>4588293
I will grant you that on a rewatch, the way he says "MASK OF POWAH!" has a distinctly Australian tang to it.
But I still stand my position that Pohatu is now the long lost brother of Phil Mitchell. I'm sorry if you disagree, but the way he says "Moy wihll is solid rohck!" just sounds too familiar to not place him in East London.
>>4588294
Thank fuck. Just look at those ball joints. They don't even fit.
>>4588310
Fair enough, but whenever I hear him speak, all I can imagine is McLeach from the Rescuers Down Under.
>>4588294
Disgusting they may be, it's interesting how they put more effort into making the Gali ripoff distinctly feminine, as opposed to Lego's non-existant attempts.
>>4588313
They are true bionicle unlike this reskinned rehash.
>>4588317
Also, you gotta give them points for not just cloning the molds
>>4588317
Breeze is way more feminine than bionicle ever attempted.
>>4588316
>>4588316
You're more than entitled to. Let's just agree to disagree, and I'm sorry for coming across as hostile earlier.
>>4588320
Why would they ever deserve points? The characters exist for no reason. Its sad really, china should make their own shows and long lasting series. Not bootlegged shit no one will ever remember.

>>4586867
>>4586890
>>4586897
>I know who you are
>>4588321
Which one? 1.0 and 2.0 definitely not, but I was surprised by how feminine the Breakout Breez turned out. I imagine it was in part because she used the thinner boots from the first HF wave, and her big shoulder pads resembled Samus Aran's power suit. Not so sure about the Brain Attack version since it didn't really do much different from the others.
>>4588325
The mask you dummy.

Well, here's what we know scrambled up with baseless speculation
>Ekimu made all the masks identical
>Despite this, they have different powers (as evidenced by Uncle Protector's magic fire hands)
>Twokua's mask is actually a latent mask of time
>he finds a resonant doppelganger of the OG Vahi and dons it, the two masks fuse and he becomes Toa/Master of Time
>His mask resembles a fusion of OG Vahi and his mask (the only vaguely unique Villager mask yet).
Also, has anyone noticed that the first video shows the Toa coming from THEIR OWN UNIQUE COLOR (and therefore elementally) CODED PLANET?!
>Six waves after this arc
>Toa morph for each wave

>Outback Rider getup for Arrakis

>>4588462
>>Little kid fire protector confirms they age and die
But that is stupid. They are intended to be the smaller components in a greater machine Mata Nui.
>>4588462
Yeah, I think it's fair to say that while the fears that this reboot would be dumbed-down weren't unfounded, it's pulled a last-second save. There are shitloads of little clues and hints that make it mysterious.
All they've done is traded in some of the old "offbeat mysique and oddness" for a sense of fun and humor.

Ash was a cunt from the top.
and didnt really care about Wrex anyways.
>>4588686
Oh ok. Sorry. It mustve been Grunt
NOW BACK TO TOY
FUCKIN BONKLES ARE BACK
Am I the only one who dislikes Onua's voice? Maybe I haven't heard him say enough dialogue, but darn I don't like it.
>>4588689
Seriously. Fuck that bitch in all ways but the literal.
Who're you gonna send to their death, the chillbro who you've served with for years, or the xenophobic bitch who latched on at the last second?
>>4588696
exactly.
Wrex was collateral tho.
but Garrus, Garrus is my nigga.

I actually don't like this shit.
Bionicle Gen 1 ended in fucking 2010, kids aren't much more retarded now than they were then.
>>4588700
nah, needs more and bigger drills.
>>4588701
You dont spend a lot of time around kids, do you? Smartphones and the modern attitude of not telling them they are doing anything wrong when they do, has created a pretty useless batch of kids
>>4588693
>Onua's voice
Onua is numero uno
>>4588704
Simplified toys shelfwarm.
>>4588192
Does anyone else think he sounds Russian when he says that?
>>4588080
Holy shit, what if they rebooted Bionicle as like a Shattered Glass ala Transformers where the Toa are the big bads that a come in and the Brotherhood of Makuta half to save the day.
>>4588720
Why don't they just save the whole day, and not just half?
>>4588720
They did that. Takanuva ended up in a universe of evil Toa once.
>>4588693
Yeah, he has a bit of that "dumb brute" tone even though the bios have already confirmed that he's still the wise one.

>The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.

I highly doubt that's his final voice. If you listen to all the others, it sounds like the same narrator just doing slightly different voices for all of them.
I'm heading out for a bonkle run wish me luck
http://www.lego.com/en-us/bionicle/characters/pohatu-a67061a750f34245b58a52f04cbb42f0
>pohatu usually keeps his boomerangs on his feet.
>>4588751
Yeah I think that Gali and Kopaka's new powers are neat. Pohatu can also fly as well as Lewa. I don't think that Tahu or Onua's secondary powers have been shown but I am curious what they are.
Also I'm confused about Ekimu. They laid him to rest but he was whispering and they said endless slumber, like Mata-Nui. But Mata-Nui wasn't dead. So confusing.
>>4588761
Oh wait, Onua has night vision
>>4588761
Tahu's secondary power is having the Red Ranger Magnet.
Onua's is being sleepy.
>>4588761
They laid him to rest. They didn't bury him.
How long before Lewa jobs again?
>>4588693
I think I missed it. Where have we heard him speak?
>>4588771
>Yfw the Toa have to go crypt hunting to awaken Ekimu
>Yfw Bonkle mummies and undead
>Bionicle is coming back

>>4588774
God, I love how expressive the faces are in those split-second shots. It shows some nice attention to detail.
So the new Turaga are badasses?
>>4588798
One of them has minigun in the chest.
If that's not badass, I don't know what is.
>>4588798
Yes. Yes they are.
and, if you subscribe to the "Protectors are the Toa thrown back through time" bill, then they're DOUBLE BADASSES
>>4588777
>yfw next year has Egyptian vibes and style
>>4588807
>protectors are the toa thrown back in time
what
>>4588812
There's several hidden Vahi in the animations
>tahu, kopaka, and onua are $20
>gali, lewa, and pohatu are $15
muh autism
>>4588812
There's a HUGE emphasis on Time throughout the media so far.
>Vahis hidden in every animation
>A legitimate Temple of Time
It's mostly just fun speculation, but I'll stick to it until it's disproven
>>4588816
Yep, the figures are at different scales. Big whoop.
If it's the prices themselves you have a problem with, just remember that the piece-to-price ratio is actually better than G1. I've got charts and shit to demonstrate, but my laptop is packed up already.
>>4588822
I have them saved actually. Let me dig them up. Thanks for those btw
>>4588826
np, m80. Thanks for holding on to them!
I hope this is right
>>4588830
LOSS?

Lord of skull spiders
>>4588830
yep, it's the one that hasn't been adjusted for inflation, but it checks out
There might or might not be more than one protector per element.
>The protectors must unite, one from each tribe.
It's either that or just redundant wording.
>>4588836
I think it's just redundant wording. The Protectors seem to be the leaders, Turaga-style

Thanks, anon
>>4588863
>The blue skull spiders are some tough critters. They have been known to survive incredible things, Such as a falling Onua.
>a falling Onua
who writes these things?
>>4588912
Someone better than Greg.
>>4588912
To be fair, the original run would have said, "such as a certain falling Toa of Earth," which is slightly more pretentious.
>>4588912
Gali.
I like the videos, they made me chuckle, but would it have killed them to hire more than one voice actor?
>>4588931
No, because he is Toa Tahu's final form narrating the adventures to this universe's version of the Inika.
>>4588931
I dunno, it adds a certain charm to it IMO. Kind of like listening to an audiobook. And not the ones with different voices for each character, I mean ones like Harry Potter where Jim Dale has to make voices for 164 different characters in one book.
So is there a reason why all the water people are girls?
>>4588939
We don't know if the protector is female.
>>4588939
Because token minority. Just like how there's always only one black Toa per team.
>>4588950
But why are they female?
They don't reproduce sexually.
>>4588953
Transformers have female robots
And that spiraled out of hand because of adult fans obsessing over it
You dont need to obsess over female bionicle
>>4588956
In Transformers is a mental thing. They have parallel processing method of thinking which they consider a trait similar to being female in sexually diverse beings so they are called shes when speaking a language with sexes.
>>4588958
See thats exactly what I mean
>Roodaka was Bob Thompson's (founder of the BIONICLE stories and comics) favorite BIONICLE villain.
Literally a mary-sue
>>4588958
This is always how I viewed the 'gender divide' in BIONICLE, honestly.
>>4588953
THEY DO NOW!
>>4588982
Fuck everything.
>>4588961
Roodaka was hot, though.
> go to local Target with DPCI code provided by anon

>>4588961
What makes her a mary sue?
So I've noticed that all the comics have the typical green, blue, and silver Skull Spiders, but then there are a bunch of red ones too. Hoping they pop up in the summer sets.
>>4589172
And I just realized that PoS also has asymmetrical arms.
This may mean something
>>4589172
Am I the only one that realized that in this comic pohatu uses his boomerangs on his feet the way old mata did?
>>4589180
He also had them on his feet for the promo animation
>>4589137
seconded
Roodaka was awsome.
and sexxyyyyy
>>4589172
They're everywhere.
>>4589191
And I want them.
>>4589198
> yfw DV is the first and only person to get a red skull spider
>>4589198
>red spider doesn't come with Lewa to imitate the Kraata that took him over
>>4589201
Eh, Red seems like it would be a really popular color, so I could see it being thrown into what I presume will be the five titan sets of the summer as an extra incentive to buy them, assuming the skull spider plot line lasts the whole year.
This thread reminds me. I only read the comics, like half the books, and watched the first two movies. Is there a torrent with all the Bionicle stuff so I can fill in the holes in my childhood?
>>4589256
I don't know about a torrent, but there's this website. Might find stuff you're looking for there.
