Ikki o' Moopyville Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 How dunno how this can't be specific enough:"So far, three films about the BIONICLE figures have been produced." -Omi ... that refers to MOL, LOMN, and WOS. I think. xD -Ikk
The Dor Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 ... that refers to MOL, LOMN, and WOS. I think. xD-Ikk I think so too, because those were the only three that were produced by 2007.
Bfahome Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 How dunno how this can't be specific enough:"So far, three films about the BIONICLE figures have been produced." -Omi It's doesn't say anything about them being BIONICLE movies. It just said that there were three movies produced already, and they were about the BIONICLE line. If there were movies that had been made about other themes, I'm sure it would have mentioned those, too.
Omicron Posted October 19, 2009 Posted October 19, 2009 Oops quoted wrong line. Meant this one: "In 2009 the BIONICLE universe will return on the screen. A contract with the American animation company Tinseltown Toons was signed in the autumn of 2007 and will result in three films during the years 2009 to 2011." Because they are on the subject of Bionicle, they aren't talking about any other theme. And also just FYI, you can produce something now that comes out later. Thats what Producers do. -Omi

My intentionally ambiguous wording sense is tingling. =__=
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 HOLY SHIT. Only Tahu will go Mata, the others won't: So now that the movie's been released and spoiler's been allowed on BZP, here are the questions that I sent you earlier, but you didn't answer:1. One thing bothers me: when the Skrall raided Tajun, where were Tarix and other Glatorian trainees then? It seems to me like only Gresh was there to fight the the Skrall and Bone Hunters. 2. When Kiina and Berix were captured by the Hunters, why didn't Kiina just blast her way out of there? 3. How come the Skrall and Bone Hunters don't speak at all in the movie? All they do is growling, pretty much like the Vorox. 4. While not appearing in the movie, did Gelu, Perditus and all the other Glatorian participate in the final battle against the Skrall and Bone Hunters? Also, some questions about 2010: 5. You said that the Piraka Stars set isn't Vezok. But the set is blue, his face and weapons resembles that of Vezok's. So is it a coincidence? And why calling him a Piraka, when it's not a species' name? As far as we know, Zaktan's team and Vezon are the only known Piraka. 6. The Takanuva Stars set seems to resemble his 2008 form, aka the Toa of Twilight form, more than his original Toa of Light form. The set has silver armors, and a silver Avohkii. So is there an explanation in story? 7. According to the Rahkshi power list on BS01, the yellow Rahkshi is a Rahkshi of heat vision. Since we're having the yellow Rahkshi as a Stars set, will it appear in story and use its power? 1) Well, we know where Tarix was -- he was in Tesara, where Mata Nui and his group found him. As for the trainees, remember, by the time we get there in the movie, the battle is pretty much over. The trainees were already dead. 2) Once they were captured, it was obvious Berix was not the traitor. And any escape attempt she made at that point probably would have ended up with Berix dead. 3) My guess would be to save budget on voice actors. 4) Yes 5) Denmark chose to call him Piraka, because the name is familiar to fans. "Skakdi" is a name that only real hardcore fans would know. 6) I haven't seen the set closely enough to be able to comment on this. I am not treating it as Twilight form in story. 7) Yes 1. Did Metus have something to do with Tarix not being in Tajun to help? (like, did he purposely set the Tesara match to keep Tarix from the village, leaving only Gresh and a few trainees there to fight the Skrall?) 8. You mentioned that while Tahu is the only Toa Mata to be in Stars set form, the others will appear as well. So will the others be Mata too? 8a. While the other Toa will be in story, they won't appear in comics, yes? 1) Would certainly make sense 8) No 8a) Correct.
Mesonak Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 HOLY SHIT.

Cap'n Kopaka Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 (edited) It's Wikipedia, aka the anyone-can-edit-anywhere-pedia. If it's gone, then it's no surprise. Wasn't Wikipedia the first place to mention the Stars? :P ~cap'n Edited October 20, 2009 by Cap'n Kopaka

Thats what Producers do. -Omi Given that quote alone, yes it's fair to assume that it's 3 BIONICLE movies definitely, however the other article that 166Eric linked to is most likely talking about the same contract, which only specifies that Tinseltown will be making 2 or 3 LEGO movies per year as part of the contract, not that 3 of them must be about BIONICLE. So originally in 2007 TLC's intention would've been to make 3 BIONICLE movies as part of the Tinseltown contract, but long-term storyline plans have changed since then, so it's likely that movie plans would've changed too, and there doesn't seem to be any definite proof that 3 BIONICLE movies had to be made and couldn't be replaced by some other LEGO theme movie. Wasn't Wikipedia the first place to mention the Stars? :P~cap'n No, Amazon.de was the first, followed closely by someone editing it onto the Wiki.
Cap'n Kopaka Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Ah, I see. I was wondering where that info came from, considering Wikipedia isn't usually the first place information comes from :\ ~cap'n
The Crazy One Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Woah, i am so confused. They take set from each year, give them a really cheesy name, and then put them in canon. And now the Piraka isnt Vezok, and Tahu is in Mata form. My god im confused.
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 New update: 9. So is the Piraka Stars set an invidual Skakdi, or just a representation (like the Vahki sets)?10. Each BIONICLE Stars set includes a gold piece that can be used to replace the same ones on the Tahu Stars set (golden Hau, golden armors...). Is this canonical? 9) Individual 10) Yup Our blue Piraka Stars is an invidual Vezok look-a-like, and Tahu will also go Hero Mode. (BIONICLE Heroes reference FTW!)
ShaddowCroc Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 New update:9) Individual 10) Yup Our blue Piraka Stars is an invidual Vezok look-a-like, and Tahu will also go Hero Mode. (BIONICLE Heroes reference FTW!) I was thinking about BIONICLE Heroes with the golden toa thing too! (I wonder how they'll possibly fit it in the story, though . . . )
Vezon Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I was thinking about BIONICLE Heroes with the golden toa thing too! (I wonder how they'll possibly fit it in the story, though . . . ) Maybe the return of the Golden Kanohi?
The Crazy One Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Maybe the return of the Golden Kanohi? Sounds plausible.
The Crazy One Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 I'm laughing so hard it hurts my lungs. Er...good for you!
Cap'n Kopaka Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Maybe everyone will shout "Unity!" and Tahu will go all Super Sonic and save the day. Nothing like a deus ex machina to end Bionicle with a bang. ~cap'n
Omicron Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Maybe everyone will shout "Unity!" and Tahu will go all Super Sonic and save the day. Nothing like a deus ex machina to end Bionicle with a bang.~cap'n That only works with Captain Planet. Any other imitation is stupid. -Omi
Vezon Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 Regarding Tahu's gold mask: Hey GregI saw this quote recently, and it left me wondering about something: 10. Each BIONICLE Stars set includes a gold piece that can be used to replace the same ones on the Tahu Stars set (golden Hau, golden armors...). Is this canonical? 10) Yup Is Tahu's gold Hau one of the Golden Kanohi, or is it just a Hau that happens to be gold? -A great thanks as always It is not one of the gold Kanohi from 2001, no.
ultimate antrozek Posted October 20, 2009 Posted October 20, 2009 It's Tahu in HERO mode like the Inika in BIONICLE HEROES lol
Brickthing Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Oh great, Tahu's golden armour is canonical and isn't the Golden masks of 01? I then suspect that it'll have some overly cheesy and heroic storyline purpose. At least there's still Summer 2010 to conclude the story (hopefully), which means that the golden armour shouldn't be too significant in the ending of the BIONICLE saga.
Phantoka Kopaka Nuva Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Poor Tahu. He has to go through so much transformation. First, he is de-Nuva'd, now he's Hero Mode (sorry, just can't stop saying that ). Why can't he just be Nuva, like the rest of his non-Stars team?
squidman85 Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Why don't they start again playsets?Many people like that!It's system and bionicle too!
Vezon Posted October 21, 2009 Posted October 21, 2009 Why don't they start again playsets?Many people like that!It's system and bionicle too! Because they sold horribly. Personally, I greatly prefer the vehicles.
