Slow down there, friend.
G3 is nothing more than a thought experiment. Nothing is official, and nothing is being released. Not to mention the System debate happened a long time ago.
Ultimately, this is all the cast’s project, so you can take it or leave it.

Really, I think that all this is great how they’re making this G3 idea. My only nitpicks are the brick system change, and how some things are changed story, and sometimes, character wise (I think I’m saying this word right.) have been changed. But I have a solution to my nitpicks, the first be the brick system. We could keep the brick system, but also have Bionicle figures of the Toa, and others, kind of like what lego did for Bionicle, and is doing for LEGO Star Wars.
This way we can still have the brick system, and keep the traditional robot making thing.
For the character changes, we could in a way say that the first Toa group was the original for the first group given the power of the spirits/gods, keep in mind this just what I think could be a possible good idea, and that this new group is not the original, they are just granted the originals names, this way there is still a deep connection with Bionicle, as well as keeping things new like you guys are wanting.
(Bonus: This can also give a little comfort to old fans, and help them adapt.)
Also, if we ever add the Barraki, could they be pirate lords?!?
So… you haven’t watched any of the podcasts about G3, have you? All those points are already a part of the idea.
Except the Barraki… they have been delegated to a type of sushi in the G3 universe and will likely never appear as real characters.

Oh… well thank you for pointing this out for me.
No, no.
The Barraki are cannon as sushi. However a band of pirates could take the name of said sushi and become the pirate Barraki. Which is not cannon, but the idea was toyed with. They never said that Barraki were only going to be sushi, just that at the moment, the only cannon Barraki are sushi.

I figure you could always go with the approach of it being the other way around, with the sushi dishes being named after the pirates. Think like General Tso’s Chicken which is believed to have been named after Tso Tsung-t’ang, but here would have an actual connection to the conquerors. Even in G1 we had flora and fauna being named after villains e.g. Makuta Fish, Carapar Fish, the Karzahni plant created by Teridax, etc.

Is Lewa going to be mind controlled again?

Yeah, hi, long time bionicle fan here, I like what you are doing with G3, but I have a question to ask about your great beings:
who is this guy?
The mirrored mask looks similar to karzahnii’s olisi, so, karzahnni?
I have lore proposed for the charcter should you need it.

Great guess, it is Karzahni. In this lore he is the third brother to Makuta and Artakha.
ah, good. Can I suggest, for the elongated mask, a head-piece in top of another head-piece?

Sounds like a great idea but the project has been dead for quite a while. It’s been a month since someone posted Brickonicle related but it’d be really nice to see more engagement!

ah, that explains a bit.
Anyway, I still have more Ideas for lore, etc.
I even made a full-coloured version of the final makuta someone posted earlier, with a bit of “Toa Metalix” spin to it.
AAAND a karzahnii fig:
Even if the project is dead now, I plan to Frankenstein-it back to life.
One way or another.
I have the first possible fetch-quest laid out ,too.

Well there are probably a number of the fans who still are willing to continue the story (myself included). But that’s about as far as you’ll get if you start posting new stuff. The cast themselves are unlikely to look at this project any further, so any new ideas would just be the fans passing them around to each other.

I hear that Starbreaker is interested in restarting it. I don’t know if his vision would be connected to this brickonicle

Starbreaker better do the mask shoes.

I would 110% love to see more fan work in this! It was one of my favorite projects back in my years of youth (like, four years ago)…
Ah, kind of like the Keeper masks from Ninjago! I like them! The double head behind the mask is very creative…
The “year 1” of story and sets was pretty well laid-out, dunno if that’s in the story bible or not… But I don’t think they had anything decided for years 2-3.

I heard there were plans for a matoran Civil War. One idea that was pitched was to have Makuta end the war by scapegoating the toa and becoming more powerful through his influence.

That’s right! I remember now. I was only remembering the Rahkshi and Mask of Time fragments.
