Chro Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Pffthehehehehe. Wait, this is a video screenshot. Does anyone have a link to that? I've only seen the one TTV filmed, which (although the effort was nice) isn't too great due to the people talking loudly over it, and the angle, etc. Quote
InfurnallDragon Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) This is the only one I found Googling "BIONICLE 2015 trailer" Seriously though, its an alternate timeline. Dimension traveling will be confirmed. Makuta is the master of darkness: One Mask to rule them all, One mask to find them; One mask to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Kalhiki Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 I like how they've made Makuta and Ekimu similar to the villagers. It makes the Toa seem that much more alien and epic, and it makes the brothers fit in better with their world. I was just about to say the same thing. Not only are their bodies the same, but their masks as well. Makuta, Ekimu, and the Protectors all have the downward sloping cheeks and crazy scalps. And, yeah. I really like this. Makes them just two normal dudes, no big, supreme god-like rulers. They're just uber-talented. And like you said with the Toa: much more alien and mysterious. I like how they're recreating the mystery of the original story but in a completely different way. 2015 is pushing all the right buttons. Quote
Still Raindrop Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Looking at Ekimu and Makuta again, it's interesting to note that their color schemes follow those of the old Technic CyberSlam theme. Or, to use the parlance that I've seen way too often in these past few weeks, #cyberslam2015confirmed. Sigh.... Anyway. Obviously there's no connection, but it is kind of cool to see the teal/purple contrast again. Quote
Bricknblue Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Having seen them in person they are awesome! So much nicer than before and the mini cartoon is really cool too! But i didn't get a clear mask. :/ Quote
Dorek Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 The video is on the BIONICLE facebook page, guys =P. Having seen them in person they are awesome! So much nicer than before and the mini cartoon is really cool too! But i didn't get a clear mask. :/ Bummer! Try at the event later? Quote
InfurnallDragon Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I've got to say, that without the magical affects, the LOSS' gold spider mask resembles the shape of a much less exaggerated Mask of Ultimate Power. If you examine the artstyle they exaggerate a lot of details. If anything they are very similar, the MoUP could take different forms like was has been suggested about the MoCr. Edit: reviewing the video, the resemblance sort of ends after that second pair of details on either side of the mask. ALSO of interest to note: Artahka's signature weapon was a warhammer, so Ekimu does more than less have more homage to him in this way. Edited October 9, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
Toa of Gallifrey Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Vezon confirmed for Okotoverse I'm seriously hoping he gets at least a cameo appearance/reference at SOME point. xD Quote

I still love my take on him being a traveling thief that the Toa have to briefly put up with. Edited October 9, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
Dorek Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Vezon confirmed for Okotoverse I'm seriously hoping he gets at least a cameo appearance/reference at SOME point. xD I wouldn't mind an allusion of some kind, but a cameo basically opens up the floodgates for all sorts of alternate universe kabbitzing.

Shakar Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 It's not even the same toa, or the same Makuta! The Makuta we knew was never a Matoran-like creature, he was a puddle of goo in a mech suit. Also, the island here is almost identical to mata nui, but called Okoto, so it's safe to assume that mata nui the person probably isn't around either. He's not the creepy abomination of 2001 for sure. That role may go to the MoUP, and I wouldn't mind it- I really like the idea of a mask being the ultimate evil. Bionicle 1 never did that.And I'm still going to call Ekimu Artakha in my headcanon. Ekimu, the Mask of Creation..sounds nice to me. Quote

Bigger Fish Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 So, the dual functions of the Toa's weapons are called adrenaline mode. EXTREME SPORTS TOA!!!!!! GO ROLLERMAN! Also, I'm really excited for this and love the art style. Quote
InfurnallDragon Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) I just realized for the first time that Gali has golden turaga mittens for her trident. (I actually loved this OST) Edited October 9, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
Timeline15 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) Adrenaline mode? isn't that something from GTA? I'm just imagining Tahu yelling EXTREME!!! as he lava surfs. Why brain, why? Also, 2 moons huh? well, if this means that the new universes solar system is the same shape as the old one, that's cool. (I actually loved this OST) but god did it get stuck in you head with the amount of times you could enter hero mode in a single session XD. I rreeaallyy need to dig out my PS2 Edited October 9, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote

I rreeaallyy need to dig out my PS2 I modded TF2 to play this music everytime theres an Ubercharge. Time well spent. I hope the Vahi is a bit more than an easter egg. TTV mentioned a Temple of Time? Edited October 9, 2014 by InfurnallDragon Quote
Timeline15 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 ^Inside of a giant robot again......?(Answer=No) I think people were suggesting Bara and Bota magna, rather than metru nui's 2 "suns". Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) by the way two moons two moons Pohatu's background art also has them. Regardless of whether they have a bearing on the story, they're yet another fun little nod to the original story. Edited October 9, 2014 by Quisoves Pugnat Quote
Dorek Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 So TTV is reporting that this could be a soft reboot? Enthusiasm, I hardly knew ye. (hopefully they're wrong) Quote
Stormbringer Empire791 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 Everyone here is wrong, obviously BIONICLE takes place in the Lord of the Rings universe now. Gosh. :P Aright, just kidding. But now thanks to this --> I have that song stuck in my head, like it does every time I'm reminded of it. Love the song to death, it's just waaaay too catchy for it's own good. Quote
GK733 Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 So TTV is reporting that this could be a soft reboot? Enthusiasm, I hardly knew ye. (hopefully they're wrong) Well they aren't TTV: "The reboot was compared to the “Star Trek movies” reboot, where there is a connection to the old universe" Quote
Quisoves Pugnat Posted October 9, 2014 Posted October 9, 2014 (edited) So TTV is reporting that this could be a soft reboot? Unless Makuta becomes a popular name in Spherus Magna's future, I rather doubt it. :P Out of curiosity, what are their reasons for thinking so? EDIT: Ninja'd by GK733! Ah, so that's what they mean. It's always possible, but it seems terribly superfluous. Besides, Lewa's BIO states that he "Communes with plants and the wind," so he's decidedly different than his Gen1 counterpart.
