Note: Do not move to BIONICLE Generation 2 Story-line Theories and Analysis. I got Chronicler’s permission.
I have many ideas about BIONICLE 2015 (G2).
I started this topic so I could share those ideas, and so you could share ideas too.
I may update my ideas as I go, and add videos and such.
Anyways, have fun, and don’t be too serious.
Just remember…
I Respect and Appreciate Your Opinions.
That said, here we go!
IDEA #1: The Protectors of Okoto are hiding something from the Toa.
Don’t you find it very strange that the Protectors didn’t guide the Toa to Ekimu’s Tomb?
They apparently knew EXACTLY where he’s buried. So why didn’t they go with them to the Ancient City? I have the feeling they have encountered the Skull Creatures before, and now they fear returning. But why?
With their weaponry and the Toa, they could stop the Skull Creatures easily!
IDEA #2: There could be more Masks of Power created.
I got this idea when I was looking at ‘The Big Three’ Masks of Power.
I was looking at them when I noticed that their eye colors represent (not ‘have-the properties-of’) a certain element. The MoUP has red eyes (fire), the MoC has blue eyes (water), and the MoC has purple eyes (earth).
My point is that there are three of six of the elements represented in the Masks.
I’m wondering if the next three colors (white eyes=ice, yellow=stone, green=jungle) will be shown in other Masks of Power.
For example, with the Golden Mask of Skull Spiders I would assume the color to be yellow (the eye color of the Skull Spiders in the Episodes), leaving two other colors for two other Masks (one could be the Mask of Time (white-eyes), and another mask which I still need to think about)!
IDEA #3: There will be another Lord of Skull Spiders, which could be even stronger and more dangerous than the first one.
I found the Toa’s victory was accomplished too easily, so I have the feeling the LoSS will return.
Set-wise, I also have the feeling that if you collected him and some other villain sets (like Skull Scorpio), and combined them, you can make a Mega-Shadow-Toa-like creature.
IDEA #4: The Titan Toa (Tahu, Kopaka, Onua) will end up with the Big Three (although, maybe the MoUP will be hidden away, or thrown in the ocean).
Which Titan Toa would have what Mask of Power?
I don’t know.
(Note: Image is NOT OFFICIAL)
IDEA #5: Ekimu could become a seventh Toa (assuming there will be one).
After all, thanks to the MoUP, Makuta is now Toa-sized, and maybe Ekimu will battle him, like Takanuva, the Toa of Light (after using the Mask of Creation to make himself bigger).
IDEA #6: Makuta is not the main villain of the entire BIONICLE series.
I agree he is a villain, but I think there is a darker force using him as a puppet, which will cause him to become good, and help defeat it.
This brings me to my next idea…
IDEA #7: The Mask of Ultimate Power is alive, has a body, and is going to be the main villain of the BIONICLE reboot.
The more I thought about this idea, the more it seemed to make sense.
In ‘The Legend’ episode, the Narrator stated,
“It was a sacred law that no mask could contain the power of more than one element, otherwise it would become too strong and dangerous.”
Later, he also said,
"When Makuta put it (the MoUp) on, IT TOOK CONTROL OVER HIM…"
This line implied that the MoUP had a mind, and the line before implied the MoUP could easily be more than a mask.
I thought of Mata Nui when his Kanohi created a body out of the elements surrounding it in ‘BIONICLE: The Legend Reborn’, and decided that this could have happened to the MoUP.
I also decided that it knew how to make Masks of Power because it had been in Makuta’s mind. So it forged the Golden Mask of Skull Spiders, and managed to create the Lord of Skull Spiders (if you don’t believe me, look at the MoUP and LoSS’s similarities), and later the Skull Creatures (despite what the advert shows).
For now though, Makuta is the villain. But when he’s defeated, he will work with Ekimu and the Toa to defeat the MoUP, which will be revealed to be the great evil.
HYPOTHESIS #1: Skull Grinder’s Origin
"A long time ago, in the Ancient City of Okoto, Makuta had run low on materials to create Masks of Power. While in the fire region, Makuta met a villager named Kulta, and the two became friends. When Makuta brought Kulta to his brother, Ekimu sent Kulta away, sensing hostility.
One night, as the two Mask Makers rested, Kulta stole the Mask of Control and took control of Makuta’s mind.
Kulta had Makuta forge the Golden Mask of Skull Spiders, a mask which had the power to reanimate the dead. Kulta planned on using the Mask to bring back many of the warriors who had fallen in the battle arena of the city, and use them to take over the world.
Once he removed the Mask of Control however, Makuta realized what Kulta’s true intentions were, and went to Ekimu for help. Summoning the City’s warriors, the Mask Makers did battle against the Skull Creatures, and defeated Kulta, now named Skull Grinder.
Unknown to Ekimu, Makuta took the Golden Mask of Skull Spiders and hid it away, knowing that one day, it would prove useful. And because Kulta had taken control of his mind, Makuta became envious of Ekimu, and forged an evil plan."
HYPOTHESIS #2: The Protector Mask of Creation
What if the Mask Ekimu was buried with… was the new Mask of Time?
Think about it. Ekimu knew evil forces would be after him. But why? He isn’t buried with the Mask of Creation. Yet he knows that the Toa need to find him before the Skull Tribe does. According to the box art, Skull Grinder will get to the Mask of Creation, but not early enough to use it, as Ekimu (and Tahu) get there seconds later.
It makes me wonder why they have the Easter Eggs of the Mask of Time.
HYPOTHESIS #3: The Mask of Ultimate Power will be released with Makuta.
Much like the set above, I think there will eventually be a set in which Makuta (with a Protector Mask of Control) will battle the MoUP for the Mask of Control.
(Of course, they would have to release a set of a powerful evil Makuta with the Mask of Destruction first.)
HYPOTHESIS #4: Timeline
Using most of my ideas, and adding things we think/know are official and canon, I have come up with this Timeline. Please note, I am not adding EVERY SINGLE DETAIL FROM EVERYTHING, and there is not much of a timespan in between every dash.
Use your imagination.
