Antrozek Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Actually, Greg revealed that Mata Nui's death was planned in 2001. I don't remember him saying anything about Takanuva, though, but I may have missed it. It is possible there was, as you say, a basic idea of another hero showing up in the future, and since Templar evidently had access to the story bible or knew much of the planned plot, they may have planted this hint too.EDIT: Apparently Mata Nui speaks and understands many if not all languages, and Makuta now does too. -Ikk Maybe Mata Nui got information of Each Planet that he pass
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) I think it's more likely he was programmed with the ability to master all languages -- evidently Bara Magna is important to his mission, but he could not have picked up the language on his journey as he was never there. -Ikk Edited January 2, 2009 by Ikki o' Moopyville
Zee toa of sonics Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 If they can make flags that damn big, maybe they can do it with statues aswell. Doubt it though. -zee
Wrinkledlion X Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I think the flags might be a wee bit exaggerated.
Pencoin Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I don't. Whats wrong with them, they look fine to me.
Bfahome Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I don't. Whats wrong with them, they look fine to me. Size-wise, for effect. 'Cause they don't look that big in the teaser.
Bfahome Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Whats wrong with them being big? No one in their right mind would spend all the time and resources building a bunch of ginormous flags randomly, especially under their circumstances. Also, I'd like to see someone make a green Skrall. Lime joints, Fero swords, Tarix/Berix head.

Hey, I was thinking of making an alternate Skrall tribesman, with dark bley instead of red, Atakus head, GITD Atakus swords and a different body design....but your idea isn't bad either...also, thanks to the three heads we can build Glatorian and Agori with varied eye colours like humans!Shakar Edited January 2, 2009 by Shakar
ShaddowCroc Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Hmm, if the Great Beings had nothing to do with the Rua Nui on Bara Magna, do you guys think that the GBs got inspiration from that. If they used Agori and Glatorian as design insperations, who said they couldn't use another giant robot as the inspiration for Mata Nui?
Shakar Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Wait, Rua Nui is a fan term, right? Anyway, good thinking. I still wonder how are Bara Magnians made. Are they organic creatures who wear armour? Edited January 2, 2009 by Shakar
Wrinkledlion X Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I made it up. It's Maori for "Great #2." EDIT: I hope they're biomechanical. I know it's a bit perplexing how that would work, but I've always thought of BIONICLE as a fantasy story so who really cares. Make 'em biomechanical. Edited January 2, 2009 by Gunnar
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Greg said Bara Magnan civilization was never as advanced as Metru Nui or as ours, so rebuilding themselves into bionic forms seems an unfathomable option. At the same time, they look far too advanced to simply be wearing armor, and they were not created by the Great Beings or anyone else. Just like there are no maps showing pre-icecap Antarctica. Just like a second Great Spirit-like being never existed... very mysterious. I love it. =D -Ikk Edited January 2, 2009 by Ikki o' Moopyville
Shakar Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Biomechanical like MU creatures? I think that they are like that due to the fact they're artificial beings, components of a huge robot. I always liked the Bionicle idea of cyborg like creatures, but I don't think all creatures in the universe are like that....Bara Magnians are not artificial, confirmed by Greg. Shakar Ikki beat me...sorta. :P Ikki, is your name taken from Saint Seiya? I can't help but thinking about Phoenix Ikki... Edited January 2, 2009 by Shakar
Antrozek Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Organical beings with Armor..i like that. they re like the Great Beings, organical, can wear Ropes and Armors
ShaddowCroc Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I would be mildly disappointed if they're just organics wearing armor. The idea of Biomechanical beings was always what defined BIONICLE for me . . .
Bundalings Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 MNOGII had the most awesome quote ever.Totally makes up for all the early Pakari-Ruru confusion. =D Also this: -Ikk I love that Taipu quote... well, I love Taipu in general. I never got out of Ga Wahi in that game so that Kapura quote is new to me. =P My Glatorian are still in Memphis... =/ ~Bunda

I can't help but thinking about Phoenix Ikki... Ikki was actually my name as a boy scout -- we all got names from the Jungle Book for some reason. XD Moopyville is my hood, based on my old messenger name Moopy and Boneville. =D -Ikk
Hydrobius Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 (edited) Yeah, I made it up. It's Maori for "Great #2."EDIT: I hope they're biomechanical. I know it's a bit perplexing how that would work, but I've always thought of BIONICLE as a fantasy story so who really cares. Make 'em biomechanical. No, make em' organic. Then we can finally have a legit excuse for blood and gore. xD Besides, we already have biomechanical in the MU, so a switch for a couple years would be fine by me. Not like we're losing the latter permanintly anyways. ;) Edited January 2, 2009 by Hydrobius
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 One problem: the sets would be totally inaccurate then, what with the tons of pistons and whatnot. -Ikk
Hydrobius Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 One problem: the sets would be totally inaccurate then, what with the tons of pistons and whatnot. -Ikk True... but would Lego really want to go through all the trouble to make them organic-looking? I dunno on that one, you have a good point... =P Still, though, I just want some change myself; after eight years of Bio-mechanical (don't get me wrong, I love it), I'd just like to see something different.
~Wrack'n'Ruin~ Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 It wouldn't be good though if Mats tells everyone he is Mats and his whole story gets told. It has to be something more secret. He needs a mysterious black cloak or a mask. It works for Char Aznable, so it should work for Mata Nui.
