Algernon Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I would be great though if we had some more side stories based on non-war driven situations. In 2006, 2007 and 2008, the local Matoran were struggling to survive in difficult and interesting environments.In 2007 especially, it still would've been super interesting and been able to provide good sets if the story had focused on the Matoran learning to survive in their new underwater environment, with a balance between encounters with the sea rahi and struggling to mantain order in the underwater cities. No enemies involved, just the natural hazards of the local wildlife. It could've had great Aqua-raider like playsets, with a Matoran trying to defend a patch of airweed from a giant sea-rahi trying to eat some Hydruka, or a scouting Matoran trying to get some treasure guarded by a territorial sea-monster. The Barraki or The Pit needn't have existed, and the Ignika could've appeared in the second half of the year, and choose some Rahi as guardians, that would then start becoming even more hazardous to the Matoran, and the Toa would arrive and struggle to defend the Matoran from the Rahi, whilst trying to get to the Ignika. That's interesting, but it would never work for Bionicle. Quote
Brickthing Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 That's interesting, but it would never work for Bionicle. Why not? Like Jinzo said, LEGO would just need to take a bold step to remove the war element of BIONICLE. There would still be conflict, but it wouldn't have a supreme evil behind it. Quote

Holy Diver Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I think Bionicle needs more war. We need larger struggles instead of the petty conflicts we have been getting for the past few years. I thought Destiny War would be this massive BioWar but was a dissapointment. If Bionicle could have a year that featured many different battles in a variety of locations with two or three clear-cut factions (like the Clone Wars animated series) then I would be a happy camper. Hopefully the ambitious Skrall will bring my vision to pass this year. Quote
The Crazy One Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 (edited) I agree, Bionicle suits the war element quite nicely, but i don't think it should be totaly aranged around war, i think it is just right now. I would love Bionicle if it got darker and more sinister , cycologically scary , obviously not too much, because of little kiddies, but a little scare here and there would be great!!!!

matanui911 Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 I reckon it rocked, if only for Teridax winning. The rest was meh, except for Krika and Icarax (<3) Well, krika was kinda meh. Not a variety of peices, and he only looked large because of his odd legs. Personal opinion...

Yes agreed, although I liked 3d Brickthing's story, It probably would not have worked as well as a more war based scenario. Quote
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Well, krika was kinda meh. Not a variety of peices, and he only looked large because of his odd legs. Personal opinion... I think he meant his character, which was one of the most interesting villains Bionicle's had. As far as the set goes, I think he rocked. His entire gaunt, spiked, deathly appearance made him look like a combination between some horrific alien creature and a Wendigo. The latter makes him awesome. And his spiked blades were the best ever. <3 -Ikk Quote
