Krekka01 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Why do I think this is going to end up with Mata Nui obtaining control of the Bara Magnan body and duking it out with the Teridax body in a big giant robot fight? Somehow, I hope that happens.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 It just seems so extremely obvious... I'm really hoping LEGO pulls off some unexpected twists during this story arc. Especially since we've probably already guessed the nature of the Shattering, the Bara Magnan robot remains, and such things -- wouldn't want the grandest mysteries to e solved so quickly. -Ikk
Phantoka_Chirox Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I personally remember the 2001 story to be very boring. Yay we are alive! Yay we have masks! Yay we have beaten Makuta. Nay, we have Bohrok infestation. Does anyone know which of the winter Glatorian is in assortment A and which are in assortment B? I suspect that Strakk and Malum are in seperate cases, because that would explain why Strakk rung up at Tesco, but neither Malums did. about the A and B part wh do you mean? which one is good and which one is bad? If that's it I think Tarix, Strakk and Gresh are the "good" guys and Vorox skrall and Malum are the bad ones
Algernon Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 I personally remember the 2001 story to be very boring. Yay we are alive! Yay we have masks! Yay we have beaten Makuta. Nay, we have Bohrok infestation. You could pretty much summarize any storyline in that format and make it look much less appealing.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) From here: A few answers:1) No, they are not "born" with the implants. 2) I have no idea how they will deal with this in the movie or if they will deal with it in the movie. I have not seen any movie animation. 3) This was a story team decision, based in large part on our wanting to distance BM from old BIONICLE. If we just did "Toa" again without calling them Toa, that would be pretty dull. 4) The whole "ocular implants" thing was an example -- I'm not saying every bone hunter has that or even that most do, it's just an example of something they might have that would be useful. 5) It is always going to be difficult to do organic with Technic pieces. At the same time, if you look at a 2001 Toa set, you can't tell he has organic muscle tissue and organic lungs or anything organic at all, but he does. You just use your imagination.

Brickthing Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 From here:-Ikk Imagination... I love that word - it makes everything so much easier.
VBBN Posted January 25, 2009 Author Posted January 25, 2009 No, they are not "born" with the implants. What?
Zarkan Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 What? Methinks Greg may have given away a very important piece of information regarding Bara Magnians.

The Crazy One Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Sure, but I just hope the series doesn't rely too heavily on twists... like I mean: if at one point the series starts doing twists from left to right and then they stop doing those twists, it's all over. What, that doesn't make sense. I think the story needs twists, keeps us interested and it would be way to obvious if we had a basic story line were you could predict correctly what would happen next.
hewkii9 Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Methinks Greg may have given away a very important piece of information regarding Bara Magnians. Well that'll make it a lot easier for the next person who wants to introduce some inappropriate art into this thread...

Matsuoka Nui Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 What happened??? Did something go wrong here before??? (Man I hope nothing happened here... ) Anyway is it just me or did every climaxes since 2001 appeared to get more "shocking" 2001: Bohrok are unleashed 2002: Toa transformation 2003: A path to Metru Nui is revealed 2004: Teridax casts Mata Nui into slumber 2005: Teridax gets free from the bonds of a protodermis seal 2006: Ignika falls into the sea 2007: Matoro dies 2008: Teridax takes over and exiles Mata Nui 2009: ?????? Are three planets going to collide???? (and if that's true, will that be featured in the movie this year???) Toa Mata Nui

Toa Mata Nui No, 2002 was a happy ending and so was 2003. 2004 and 2005 didn't count for much because we already knew it would happen. 2006 wasn't shocking, it was just depressing because it removed a lot of progress the Inika had made. 2007 was pretty shocking, 2008 was predicted for over half a year thanks to good theory work and a certain leak, and I doubt 2009 will be planet collision, because that would resolve major stories too quickly for what BIONICLE usually does.

The climaxes i listed were for both good and bad...but thanks for those explanations.... WOW. I think you're right. The only happy endings were 2002, and 2003....that is sad.....we need another happy ending for once.... Toa Mata Nui
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 2002 ended with the Kal showing up and the Nuva losing their powers, far as I recall -- not exactly the happiest of endings. xD '05 had a happy ending in the present day, as the Turaga and Matoran were reunited with the Rahaga and Dume. Good times, good times. -Ikk

The only happy endings were 2002, and 2003....that is sad.....we need another happy ending for once.... Toa Mata Nui Techincally 2002 didn't have a climax ending, as the Bahrag fight & Ga-koro fight were the climaxes. 2002 ended with an epilogue, and is probably the only year to have a happy epilogue. 2002 ended with the Kal showing up and the Nuva losing their powers, far as I recall -- not exactly the happiest of endings. xD '05 had a happy ending in the present day, as the Turaga and Matoran were reunited with the Rahaga and Dume. Good times, good times.-Ikk No, 2003 started with the Kal, but 2002 ended without any suggestion of them. It's probably one of the reasons why people think that the first half of 2003 story felt a bit rushed and incomplete. 2005 did have a kind of happy ending I suppose, but that depends on if the Coliseum cracks = Dying Mata Nui was revealed at the end of 2005 or the beginning of 2006. I can't remember...

I can't remember... I'm 97% sure the last '02 comic had the Nuva splitting up, shadows of the Kal, and Kopaka losing his ice powers and falling into a chasm. =P And the Coliseum cracks didn't come up until the Atlas mentioned them in '07... Mata Nui dying was revealed by Dume in the first lines of '06. -Ikk

Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 25, 2009 Posted January 25, 2009 Well, everything ended happily in 2008 too, except for in the Matoran Universe... -Ikk
