Nightmare Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 (edited) Greg revealed why there were two Glatorian on Mata Nui's head. They were intended to be pilots, but died on the Great Cataclysm. That will spawn some questions. (And no, that was not going to be covered anywhere, or at least, doesn't make sense to right now. I mean, which serial would be able to cover this?) BTW, new info from Greg's blog: -- Good news to start with -- I have gotten permission to get a whole new list of approved names done for 2010 and 2011, which means we will be able to have some new named characters in the story!-- Plague tribe's element is ... iron. Yes, I know, that doesn't match their armor color, but there is a reason for that, which will get revealed in an upcoming mini-serial on BIONICLEstory.com called Sahmad's Tale. -- Look for more info on the Psionics power on Monday, same place.

And Brutaka-dermis (Brutaka affected by protodermis) will probably go on about the GBs and the things they have done in the past. And Iron Tribe for the win. I know there has to be a reason with the Iron Man heads and stuffs. Because the GBs are fans of Iron Man, and they decided to have a tribe named after him.

I fixed the problem with Hau : No harm done to Hau itself but the Metru head suffered a bit. :D Edited December 5, 2009 by 80 Dollar
Brickthing Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Can somebody please explain to me the whole Psionics thing? Where did it come from and what does it do? Erebus suggested it to Greg with a past quote from him saying it could be an element, and he accepted it. Psionics is now a new female element that includes powers such as mind control, telekinesis, memory manipulation, telepathy, etc. And half of BZP seems to think that making the element pink would be a good idea. No respect for the Mocists I say.

No respect for the Mocists I say. Oh, thanks. Pink is really a bad idea...when I hear telekinesis or mind control I imagine purple (another bad color for Mocing, I know) or at least Lime / Blue (but I guess that Hahli Mahri ruined this possibility :) ).

Purple isn't the best, but at least it's possible for MOCing. IMO it shouldn't have Blue, because Lightning has been confirmed as white and blue, leaving Psionics the only female element able to not include blue in the colour scheme.
Ikki o' Moopyville Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 Nifty info. =D Though Toa of the Mind would sound better, but whatever, really. Still a great idea. And apparently Greg is still on his I-Don't-Care spoiler spree. How frooty. -Ikk
Omicron Posted December 5, 2009 Posted December 5, 2009 No respect for the Mocists I say. Well looks like I won't have a problem making a Toa of Psionics. ;) -Omi

No respect for the Mocists I say. Hey now, I'm an "MOCist" and I would absolutely LOVE pink to be the color of Psionics. I've desired pink in Bionicle for years... I don't think the target audience would like it, but the sets are ending anyway, so eh. Purple would be fantastic, too, since Earth doesn't seem to use it anymore.

The Alchemyst Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Anyone think Psionics to be... imbalanced in a sense? o.o Literally 3 Kanohi powers right then and there, as well as memory manipulation, and it seems that isn't the end. But it's awesome to get another female-only power. [-TA-]

Erebus Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Yup, we got Masks of Light, Shadows, and Gravity. Also, those examples I created for Psionics are not accurate. He did not canonize all of those. Only telekinesis and a nova blast should be accurate. Edited December 6, 2009 by Erebus
CabooseBM Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 While I guess it's cool that there's a new female-only power, it doesn't really affect me either way, my personal canon ignores that rather silly distinction.
Brickthing Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 Omi - Do it! Hey now, I'm an "MOCist" and I would absolutely LOVE pink to be the color of Psionics.

Purple would be fantastic, too, since Earth doesn't seem to use it anymore. I want Pink in Bionicle too, but the fact is that we can't make a Toa of Psionics with the current pieces or without excessive use of System. The only pink Technic piece is a large gear.

Oh, that's what you meant. Sorry, I misinterpreted. There is a simple solution: Make a petition and force Lego to make a pink Bionicle! Jk, jk. Though that would be totally awesome. But still jk about the petition thing.
Omicron Posted December 6, 2009 Posted December 6, 2009 and force Lego to make a pink Bionicle Technically they did, but it is a prototype. That is where my mask comes from. ;) -Omi
The Alchemyst Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Elemental powers can be Kanohi powers too yanno, in theory.-Omi Well, duh, I know that. But three? [-TA-]
Omicron Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Well, duh, I know that.But three? [-TA-] Well what do you expect in these later years of Bionicle? :P -Omi
Zip Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Technically they did, but it is a prototype. That is where my mask comes from. ;)-Omi Thought they tried to make it purple and failed?
Omicron Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Thought they tried to make it purple and failed? Basically during 08, Bink tried to convince the set designers that purple is a good marketable color and would appeal to boys. So they made a whole set in hot pink, which they tried to pass off as purple. With that judgment, they then decided that Bionicle will never see purple ever. And yes I know hot pink isn't purple. -Omi
jala12 Posted December 7, 2009 Posted December 7, 2009 Lol, so basically Tarix was originally going to be pink? I can't imagine any Glatorian fighting him without falling to the arena floor and rolling in hysterics.
