Bionicle 2015 Discussion

I would LOVE it if we got trans red shells and such. I too am sick of trans orange. We got purple back so there might be hope for trans red.

[Kalhiki]

I don't mind trans orange. But that's probably because I'm a sucker for fluorescent parts.

[Logan McOwen]

Trans red shells and bones would honestly not look that bad next to/on top of brighter colours. Have you ever seen the canopies on some of the old Space Police sets? Those are trans-red, and they work perfectly. If you were to have trans-red shells, they could be used alongside silver, or on top of grey bones. It really wouldn't look as bad as you think.

I mean, the new trans-purple bones are barely noticeable when used with black shells, but put them under a white or silver shell, and they really shine.

Well, I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but I found it on the VK Bionicle page: http://cs624823.vk.me/v624823641/27763/IPrJXEvzh-g.jpg

Seems to be a birds eye view of the Ancient City!

That's kind of insane. Way too coincidental for that to have not been inspired by the logo at least. Cool find!

Before I thought the city looked like Destral. Now I cannot unsee that. Mind is blown.

Is it official or fan-made ?

Same source as the Russian Okoto alphabet.

Give or take.

I think we deduced that the Russian Okoto alphabet wasn't technically "official", it was just specific to their own activities and minigames that they were doing. Worth noting at some point, but not a precise system like the Matoran Alphabet was.

As for that map, though, digging the similarities. Official or not, it's pretty cool.

[Kalhiki]

Oh no. Cannot unsee. Bionicle G2 is secretly Doo Heads.

EDIT: In terms of whether or not it's official, I took a look at some shots of the city from the Animations. By the looks of it, everything is correctly placed. The bridge leads to a large structure (in the animations, it's the protector mask building), and the northwestern building is the Mask Makers' forge (also in the correct position.

In other words, if it's not official, everything is so nicely placed that it might as well be.

Mind blown.

The city was actually built upon a gigantic Doo-Head!

Bwahahahaha.

[WARHEAD]

You have no idea how badly I wish they went with the Doo-heads idea instead of the final Bionicle designs.

[ToaDraco]

Yup, it's clearly an aerial view

[Aanchir]

SPIRIT confirmed over on BZPower that this (and the Okoto alphabet) are fan-made. That BIONICLE page on VK is an unofficial community currently doing some sort of Okoto expedition role-playing game and these are materials they created to supplement it.

Well poo.

Whatever. I'll still consider it canon. Like I said before, it seems to follow what we already have seen fairly closely (no glaring discrepancies).

[Dorek]

Yeah, even if it's not real, they have some talented/dedicated guys working on it. Wish I had that kind of help... =P

I knew the page was fan-run, but i thought these were official things regardless that fans were finding. Also, their was the following which was updated over several days providing more information about Okoto;

Have we got any confirmation on who made these then if they are supposed to be non-official?

Yeah these things are something I'd expect to see in the Bionicle activity book with mask http://www.amazon.co...e/dp/0545872553 rather than as guide for roleplay.

Even though the page has a lot of fan contribution, there is an official LEGO presence there and the map is real. Check this and read the comments.

Well I'm believing it.

More concept art.

The spooky lights seem to have connection with summer sets. Also, bats.

[WARHEAD]

That first pic is a 'shop of that one piece of concept art we got ages ago. The other two are official though.

[Kalhiki]

Really liking the last two (the first just seems to be the old Ancient City concept art, but reversed and nighttime. Still cool, though). I love seeing environment concepts even more-so than character concept art.

[MakutaOfWar]

Yeah the first one I have on my phone but in daylight. I'm not a fanboy, OKAY?

...yeah, okay, maybe I am.
