What the fork is going on?!

Animated series? Makuta? A new brother for Makuta?

SOURCE!!!

From 4chan:

>Makuta wears "Mask of Control"

>Ekimu (Not Artakha) wears "Mask of Creation"

>Makuta wants both to create Mask of Ultimate Power (Life)

>Both are asleep

>Spiders are just kinetic fields generated by his dreams and lust for power

Seems like they're going for the "asleep evil" route, which is interesting as it was rarely done in BIONICLE 1.

Creation of things +Control of things = Life..makes sense. The scary thing is that it sounds an awful lot like my (non-BIONICLE) story.

Looks like the official images are rolling out.

those things are old

Some of these tweets sound too ridiculous to be true, but we'll see I guess.

Also, that animation... can't really be anything else BUT a show, seeing as lego would never use that art style for a commercial. Shame they went for 2D rather than TLR style though.

Oh, and Okoto I can deal with, but Ekimu? that just sounds daft. But both brothers are asleep? how is Makuta doing anything then?

If both masks are needed to make the Mask of Life... then that means there is no Mask of Life in this story... which kills pretty much any chance of this being a continuation :P

This is the day. The day that all we Bionicle fans have waited for since 2010. After all these years, Bionicle will be officially back TODAY. How does it feel?

And great! I was hoping to have a 100% complete Bionicle 2 collection, but I'll already be missing a trans-Hau.

[Grima]

To be fair, what kind of MOC would you even USE a trans Hau on? It's not a trans color even. just completely transparent.

OMG VIDEO FROM NYCC

[Grima]

I'd say reboot frickin' confirmed :P

[Shakar]

PLEASE LET THIS BE THE ART STYLE FOR THE ANIMATED SERIES.

I love it. Less CG crap and more 2D. It just looks like a 90s cartoon, which is awesome, awesome, awesome.

Also, Ekimu is green and uses an hammer. Dunno about you guys but I'm going to call him Artakha.

^Hold it, there's no animated series confirmed that I know of, I was just guessing on that one picture.

[Clone 01354 Productions]

1) Love the animation!

2) Makuta looks great, and I love how they kept his name!

3) So they keep Makuta, but not Mata Nui? Seriously?

4) Did you guys see the new faces? It looks like a mix of Metru and Mata.

5) HYPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@floundie

the minimovie/series document was confirmed by lego site code, so yes animated series!

[Timeline15]

Ok guys, 3 of you have uploaded it in a row now, we get it XD.

So... 3 legendary masks.... that's cool.

Can't take that animation remotely seriously though. The supposed god-tier mask makers look like toddlers. Also makuta was apparently a dragonborn.

But WHY exactly is Makuta still Makuta, but Ekimu not mata nui or Artakha? You know, names that I don't want to laugh at. he even has the mask, colour scheme and weapon of Artakha -_-

Still, if this animation style means we get a decent length series rather than a few specials, I won't complain. Otherwise, should have stuch with set accurate CGI in my book.

What?? I had no idea, that's sweet.

Not for MOCing, for collecting. You don't open it, you stare at it! And maybe......I could pretend Vakama wore a Hau, and use this for a LOMN scene. (He would only be a head, though.....)

[Jacen Torq]

HYPE HYPE HYPE.

I actually like the sound of "Ekimu." Was expecting something bigger for these guys though, they look like the size of the Protectors... oO Okoto looks very Mata Nui-esque.

Yeah, especially from that overhead view.

[Timeline15]

Welp, Okoto is almost identical to mata nui. Again I ask, why the name changes at all then?

There's something really amusing to me about the incredibly grandiose mask of creation being worn by a tiny chibi XD

And yeah, going by the animation, they look to share torso design with the protectors, so they ARE as small as they look. Wha?.... Were they Matoran or something? I certainly hope that if these two DO get sets, they are titan sized. Matoran size simply isn't fitting for characters with any sort of gravitas. Didn't all the winging about the Bionicle Stars teach you that. Lego?

[gedren_y]

The art reminds me of some of the comics, just with limited animation.

[Shakar]

I'm going to guess that the brothers look that way because sets of them don't exist (yet.. their masks clearly look like something meant to exist in toy form). Their bodies are pretty big and detailed, which hints at them being at least Toa-sized.

"BIONICLE "reboot" is akin to Star Trek new movies. Confirmed for three year line right now, possibly more later."
