Kamen Rider Kiva Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I can't wait to see the reaction from the TTV crew. XD Quote
TheBatstan Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Anyone know what that black and yellow thing on Kopaka's box is? Oh and all of them look AWESOME! The only Toa i know for sure on that display is Tahu with that signature pose of his :D Quote
Shakar Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I think I'm getting a good idea of the sets: -6 Defenders, 9 Euro sets.. they share the same mask. Hopefully it's a prototype quirk. -6 Toa, 13 (or 15, let's hope not) euro. Colours seem to be almost the same as their Mata forms, but with gold armour added. -One lonely Skull Spider, 13/15 Euro set I guess. Hopefully it's not the sole villain..

Mesonak Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I can't wait to see the reaction from the TTV crew. XD SPOILER ALERT: Quote
Kamen Rider Kiva Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 SPOILER ALERT: Hilariously, I saw the video a few seconds after I posted that. XD Lol, loved the Mardi Gras in the begining. Can't wait for the discussion vid. :D Quote
CM4Sci Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) Wow. This is so cool! To be completely honest, I've really never had any interest in BIONICLE. But now I think I might start getting into it. This is so exciting! I love news! AAA! -Sci Edited July 25, 2014 by CM4Sci Quote
Mask_of_Death Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) SPOILER ALERT: Hype! Hype! Hype! The name 'Lord of Skull Spiders' seems to make sense now. Also, on the high res image that TTV linked, names like Tahu, Lewa, and the first part of Pohatu are clearly visible. Edited July 25, 2014 by Mask_of_Death Quote
Floundie Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) I'm going to go ahead and say that I think the hands are exactly the same as the existing mold. I'm looking at Tahu's left hand and it just looks like a silver 2.0 hand. And Pohatu definitely has white, no tan. Just compare it with his background and you'll see. Gali's mask looks more like MOL style, while Tahu, Kopaka and Onua's masks are definitely reminiscent of their original versions. I'm freaking out right now!!! Edited July 25, 2014 by Floundie Quote
Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Hmm...so each small set also contains a spider.. and the leader of the spiders gets a set of his own. Interesting. Not sure how I feel about all the mata suddenly having gold in their design, and I rreeaallyy hope that's tan on Pohatu, not white, but there seems to be decent variation amongst the toa. Are Tahu and kopaka "titan" sized? One thing I love though is that they seem to come with 2 of their kanohi, one normal, one gold. Even the other sets contain some masks. Wonder if they'll have story significance.... Quote

From what I can tell, the green and brown defenders use the Pyrox fire piece, the blue defender looks to have yellow rotor hubs, and all the defenders, except the purple and black one have the small beast feet in silver (or in the blue defender's case, black). The purple and black one looks to have to two clawed foot piece. And the white one obviously has a saw. EDIT: The fire defender also seems to have the Pyrox fire piece.

just2good Posted July 25, 2014 Author Posted July 25, 2014 Sweet image. Bionicle is so nostalgic to me, and these capture the times when I loved Bionicle. Might pick up a few for nostalgia's sake. Quote
Kamen Rider Kiva Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Is it me, or do the Toa's kanohi look like a mixture between the original Mata designs and the Nuva designs? Quote
Krulis Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 To people worrying about white on Pohatu: remember it's a prototype. I guess that tan parts weren't ready when the box art was created so they simply used white. Quote
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 To people worrying about white on Pohatu: remember it's a prototype. I guess that tan parts weren't ready when the box art was created so they simply used white. Or it could actually be tan in the picture. It doesn't seem to match Kopaka's color, so it might just be very brightly lit. In any event, I'm psyched! Shakar rightly observes that the "defenders" appear to have the same masks. I wonder if maybe I was right about randomized masks? But I guess it's unlikely. Quote
Floundie Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I don't know, I'm only seeing one main color each for the Toa and either Gold, Black or White. Pohatu's got something wonky going on with his arms. Gold bones and brown armor on one arm and black bones and white armor for the other. Quote
Timeline15 Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) actually, looking between Kopaka and Pohatu, I think the latter might actually use tan. The two don't look the same, though the lighting makes it almost impossible to tell. Hard to make out anything about Onua too. he just looks like a solid megablocks of black. But is that some sort of hammer he's holding? Edited July 25, 2014 by Timeline15 Quote
Kalhiki Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 WELP! Color me excited. Still think it's a hoax, Dorek? Anywho. Like what I'm seeing. I'll take a closer, longer look before posting more. But seeing this makes me so nostalgic of seeing the Bionicle leaks every year from back in the day... Quote
Lord-Vorahk Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 (edited) There are no brakes on the hype train. Looking at the samey Matoran masks, all I can think of is the Bohrok, and how they were all depicted with Tahnok's face shield and Krana Xa, yet had unique faceplates and randomized Krana. *Edit* Linked the TTV reaction video on my DA page. Toohyped. Edited July 25, 2014 by Lord-Vorahk Quote
Mask_of_Death Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Does Onua have... purple on him?! It might be just a trick of the light, but it seems odd that the 'Earth Defender' would have purple and he wouldn't. Tahu also seems to have a new piece for his flame board, in addition to two swords. Kopaka seems to use the flame board piece for his spear/staff weapon. Quote

It does look like the same mold doesn't it. And I did notice the purple on Onua. He might have purple eyes too. Quote
TheGreatSpirit Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I went on to see if anything happened in this thread. I am not disappointed Quote
Aanchir Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 Here's the image in a much larger size. I definitely like what I see. Quote
TheGreatSpirit Posted July 25, 2014 Posted July 25, 2014 I think each Toa has a golden version of their mask, like 2002. Anyone else see that? Quote
