Bionicle 2008 Images and Discussion

[Ecto]

That's why the Mata head mouths looked like Volcanoes!

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

The Mata head just became my favorite Bionicle piece!

-Ikk

[Clonie]

Greg said everything in the domed universe is south of Metru Nui!

It fits. Yes.

Waaaaait

He also said the Great Beings could take an educated guess as to where Mata Nui was. I would assume that means he can move around, and being full of Matoran, that would be somewhat hard.

Damn.

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

Then again, he DID seem to rise in the video... no idea why, though.

P'raps he moved after his creation, or the Great Beings sent him down there without knowing his exact whereabouts afterwards?

Still, I'm a 1000% sure he's some rocky shell with the Domiverse inside him.

Prove me wrong, I dare ya!

-Ikk

[Clonie]

Or perhaps, he wanted us to think they only have a rough idea as to where he is. Because an educated guess could mean a lot with the Great Beings, seeing as they know a lot. Like how I could make an educated guess that two is greater than one.

Kind of hard to argue with that middle sheet, as well.

As for how he can stand up without the Matoran falling off Metru Nui. Well, he can create gravity, can't he? There.

So, I don't think he's ever stood up before.

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

Good point... he's been known to trick with words before!

Still, there's probably some more to Mata Nui than we know. Ahh, I can't wait for summer.

EDIT: Great point on the gravity! I wonder if the Makuta plan to get control over Mata Nui and... make him walk around? o_o;;

I wonder how his head connects to other domes.

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

My guess is he's an immensely huge, rocky, humanoid 'shell'... with the domes being inside him. We know the Metru Nui dome had gateways to other dome, so I assume all domes are connected in a similar way. ^_^

Also, Greg said Tren Krom couldn't take over for Mata Nui because Mata Nui is too intertwined with the universe now. I'd assumed he'd meant mentally, but this makes a lot of sense too.

PS, new banner inspired by Mista Kalio from BZP.

[Clonie]

I hope so, Ikki.

I'm guessing Karda Nui is the only dome that isn't part of him.

Now that we have a solid theory, let's try and find flaws.

I haven't found any, but I noticed...

1) Metru Nui is the only dome with sun holes. EYES.

2) Metru Nui is the only dome with stars. The Metru Nui stars are... thoughts?

3) To repeat, every dome is south of Metru Nui. HEAD.

Ok, first of all, I think Mata Nui stuff is currently bogus. If I were you, I'd just forget about putting up ideas that may not even be real and think about putting it all onto paper to support yourself, so you can gather ideas as more information is relased. That body, my opinion isn't quite set. I mean, the Toa Nuva ARE currently working on waking him up, ne? Maybe that was a scene of the pre-product move. i don't know.

Second, many of you have critised my last post. I appreciate everything you have said.

Let me make myself clear, sonce I was just rambling then.

1.) When I said "Greg is in on it" I meant he's part of the story team and the developers and crap, so he'd be part of whatever happened.

2.) I noticed someone said something about the Val being dumb in 03. I say people didn't buy it, because it was just shinier versions of the Bohrok, and thus not many people bought them.

3.) Miserix's reptillian form technically IS original and no one asked for a humanoid, however a humanoid would make more sense story-line wise. I know Greg said in MC that he likes to turn into them, but I mean, what is the FoF team gonna see him as? The dragon or the bipedial form that people (not just me) kinda thought of him being.

Sorry for the inconvinience.

BTW, that video, I didnt really like it, no.

EXPRESSION IS OK!

[Clonie]

But we are discussing facts. These are the facts.

1) The middle sheet of paper shown here is pretty solid evidence that Metru Nui is Mata Nui's "brain," and Mata Nui (the island) is his face, and the other domes are his body.

2) The picture showing him standing up is explained by the fact that Mata Nui can create gravity, therefore the Matoran wouldn't fall off their islands when Mata Nui stands up. And I'm guessing Mata Nui hasn't stood up before that picture was "taken."

3) More evidence: It has been stated that Metru Nui is the northernmost island in the Matoran universe. Most likely his head?

4) It has also been stated that Metru Nui is the only dome with sun holes. Eyes? And don't forget the end of Legends Of Metru Nui.

5) More evidence: This.

Just try and defeat this theory.

[Lord Thrawn]

From your point 5, Clonie, looks like Big MN has a cold.

In all seriousness, I can't believe nobody thought of this yet. Again from point 5, it seems amazing I've never seen the island as a head before.

heh thanks

i also thought why voya nui had to go back where it came from ... its a flesh wound

also from the picture it seems hes rising up, out of water?

[Tyranide]

Yup, right here -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EgKlF6Vw5ak

That's my fraggin' video!

Well, this theory about Mata Nui body is very, very good for me. Well, if Metru Nui is really brain, then it makes sense why the civil war put his life in such danger - this city in work done by its Matoran is thoughts of Mata Nui, yeah. And Makuta wanted to eat his brain.

Oh, yeah, supposedly I can go to my local office next week and MAYBE get some cool stuff... I've got information that they got big box of special promo things that will only begin selling in September.

[Ecto]

Still no reply from Greg.

I assume he's ignoring me.

[Pigbrick]

I didn't think I would see the day...

...when the Indiana Jones soundtrack and Final Countdown would be used in the same media clip. And the Mata Nui thing is amazing too .

Wow, what a shocker. I know along time ago back in 2001 that people were pointing out the "hidden face" in the island (any one else remember this?) but I really didn't think that it would be Mata Nui's face! He's amazingly huge! This twist really has a strong mythology feeling to it that I haven't seen story line wise in a long time (I'm guessing they already planned the ending in 2001 but it's nice they haven't changed it ).

Best story line element in a long time (I just hope we’re right).

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Well, I have a lot of things to say -

First off, the movie. This is a placeholder for the actual mini movie coming, for the production team to work on. That explains the movie clips, as I doubt they would promote outdated movies, for a new line of sets. And the final music isn't done yet, which is probably why they used Indy music. I dunno about The Final Countdown though. If they use it, I'll bite my finger off.

As for Mata Nui, I doubt thats him. It may be a statue, however. Your theories about Mata Nui are very intresting though. And what face do you mean, Pigbrick?

As for the new Brickmaster stuff - Am I the only one here that likes Sarah Newkirk's Miserix? To tell you the truth, I think it is extremley detailed, and fits the image of a reptillian Makuta.

As for the Niazesk - love it. The design is great. Nice way to use Tridax pods.

Oh yeah, this is off topic, but I watched Iron Man yesterday. That was an intense movie. Best super hero movie in a while!

[Wrinkledlion X]

Still no reply from Greg.

I assume he's ignoring me.

He hasn't been on.

Oh, and I think I beat you to the punch.

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

He hasn't been on.

Oh, and I think I beat you to the punch.

Hmm, well I believe your theory has been proven with this picture.

-ZotS

[Ikki o' Moopyville]

Greg's sure been leading us on a wild-goose chase all this time!

3) Well to reconfirm, Mata Nui is not the island of Mata Nui?

4) Nor Metru Nui?

5) Nor the Mata Nui stone (recent theory)?

Thanks,

~U

No, he is not any one of those

And he was right -- Mata Nui isn't any ONE of those, he's all of 'em.

I love how he doesn't give us specific awnsers. It pisses off some people though...

[Wrinkledlion X]

Yeah, I always laugh when I see loopholes like that. He knows what he's doing.

[Icesaber]

I remember there being a theory about Karda Nui feeding energy to the universe, which is why it's important the BoM stay out. Maybe KN is the heart, the energy is the blood, and the BoM is like "viruses"?

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Probably. And the Av Matoran are like cells? If they all stop working, Mata Nui goes through Cardiac Arrest and dies.

You know, I think we figured out what Mata Nui is!
