Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Okay, since this news has been floating around the 2008 topic, I figure we should make a sepertae topic for it. Here is what we have so far:Glatorians. Vastus. And their will be a childs book. That's all We have so far. Thanks to Tyranide for the info. Discuss here. More infos: There will be 2 story books (which might be longer than past books) in summer, 3 kids book throughout the year. The story starts in the middle of the 2008 ending. There will be a 2001-2008 character who plays a central role in 2009 (I wouldn't be surprised if Greg says it's Mata Nui). At least we'll see the Matoran universe in the 2009 serial.
legomilk Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 Bionicle 2009 is different than other years. There'll also be a new movie. But more info I have not.
JINZONINGEN73 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 There will be a 2001-2008 character who plays a central role in 2009 (I wouldn't be surprised if Greg says it's Mata Nui). I wouldn't be suprised if it was a Toa all Turaga-ized... an old mentor / storyteller type character.
Zarkan Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 I'm thinking that might be possible as well - especially since I'm also begining to think that Takanuva's destiny at the end of 2008 will be to turn into a turaga.
The Dor Posted July 16, 2008 Posted July 16, 2008 I wouldn't be suprised if it was a Toa all Turaga-ized... an old mentor / storyteller type character. I'm thinking that might be possible as well - especially since I'm also begining to think that Takanuva's destiny at the end of 2008 will be to turn into a turaga. Actually, Greg has stated: 7. Will we know of Takanuvas destiny by the end of the year? 7) I think not, most likely, as I have future plans for him beyond 2008 So yeah. Takanuva next year. It doesn't take place on the Red Star. It doesn't take place on the Surface. I think it was confirmed that the residents could see the Red Star from where they are, but not too sure. That's all I've got.
Algernon Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 I heard that Bionicle was going to go back to it's roots in 2009, after 08's "final battle". As an alienated Bionicle fan I hope it's true. What's the story on this?
Clonie Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 It doesn't take place on the Surface. I don't believe that this was confirmed.

Pencoin Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 i do expect ol' Taks to be in next year, he is the main character of bionicle
Zarkan Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 Actually, the comment about "Bionicle going back to it's roots" was made by Greg F himself. He said that you can expect "the sense of mystery from coming to a new place for the first time," much like Bionicle first was back in 2001. He also said that it's gonna be different, so be prepared.
Deinonychus Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 He also said that it's gonna be different, so be prepared. Oh no, the fan bitching in the future is already casting ripples down the timestream...my ears...MY EARS!
Algernon Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Not from me. Personally I think Bionicle has gotten really, really stupid, and any change from this point forward can only be an improvement. Edited July 22, 2008 by Algernon
Pencoin Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 i can't agree more (Algernon just won a quote of the year award and would like persmission to go in ma sig)
S-N Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 i do expect ol' Taks to be in next year, he is the main character of bionicle Not really.
Algernon Posted July 22, 2008 Posted July 22, 2008 i can't agree more (Algernon just won a quote of the year award and would like persmission to go in ma sig) Go ahead. :P
VBBN Posted July 23, 2008 Author Posted July 23, 2008 Takanuva is NOt returning next year as a turaga. I asked greg, and there will be no matoran universe in 2009.
Pencoin Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 yeah i know its not set in mata nu, dont mean taks cant appear i think this will happen 2008 ends on a cliff hanger and then we jump onto a new story in a new place with new peeps, (but Taks might be there for a reason we dont know) and as this new story goes on we learn what happenend at the end of the final battle, get what im saying?
Algernon Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 Nooo, no Mata-Nui set plz. I preferred him as a rock.
Pencoin Posted July 23, 2008 Posted July 23, 2008 i wouldnt worry we wont get one i dunno who would buy it at that price well maybe not in scale anyway
Clonie Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Nooo, no Mata-Nui set plz. I preferred him as a rock. Well you're in luck, because that's exactly what he is.
Zarkan Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 (edited) Yeah - a rock that also happens to be the Matoran Universe. Which means there's no way that he'll ever be a set. Edited July 24, 2008 by Grevious
Algernon Posted July 24, 2008 Posted July 24, 2008 Don't underestimate LEGO when it comes to screwing up their own storyline for the sake of what will sell.
Heir of the Chronicler Posted July 25, 2008 Posted July 25, 2008 Not from me. Personally I think Bionicle has gotten really, really stupid, and any change from this point forward can only be an improvement. Tempt not the fates! Stupider... it always can get.
