BIONICLE 2016 Discussion Topic

That’s true, it’s actually not something that I saw coming. It also feels so absolute and final, it’s just one of those things that I don’t see Lego doing unless they plan on concluding the story.

I mean, they could always introduce a new team of Toa, but there aren’t any other fleshed out characters for that to resonate with fans

Makuta? Jaller (maybe)?

I’d prefer, instead of new Toa, something like 2004, where it goes back in time and focuses on Ekimu and Makuta’s adventures, would be a good way to give us the G2 Vahi too.

@TheDarkFlame Makuta wasn’t main protagonist, Jala was, and he was brought back.

Turaga Lhikan. That’s an example, however I do agree with you

He was nearly a main character, and they killed him. So it seems!s close enough

He wasn’t a main protagonist either, he was a side protagonist.

@evolutionofconsciousness It could also be a good way to give us more history on the mask makers, and maybe their parents.

@TheMoltenKing It is the closest example we have, but it isn’t all six primary characters dying

Yup, I remember someone mentioning a third party who had been hinted to have been involved in the creation of the masks of creation and control. Argh, so much potential for G2…

Instead of the hype train of happiness we shall ride the potential train of oblivion…

If G2 is finished, I’ll be continuing it with my own story, I’m not willing to give up on it so soon.

Side note, why doesn’t the MoUP have runes on it? It should, otherwise it won’t match the masks of creation and control as well if/when we get it.

Great, it’s always been the fans who kept Bionicle alive. Because, realistically speaking, if G2 is finished, then Bionicle is finished.

I personally will be because whilst it wasnt long, what they gave us was fantastic and I’ll treasure that and thank Lego for years afterwards. I’ll just take what I was given and give it a place in my heart next to g1

I agree, and I absolutely love what we do have, but as a writer, and with G2 already being so important to me, and since my first Bionicle G2 fan book already almost done, I’ll be continuing the story. At least in my own universe, on my YT channel.

oh, you mean this train then:

so this is what will happend when the hype train have no hype to run on.

Would it be rude to say Lego was insultingly apathetic with this line overall?

Seriously, there’s no doom to Bionicle ending. Yes, perhaps there was wasted potential…but come on guys…we got some fantastic sets in G2. The Toa last year were all incredible, so were the protectors. The Uniters…while not the best versions of the Toa in my opinion, were still really cool sets. Umarak was an incredibly well designed set. Storm Beast had an incredibly new and innovative function. So Bionicle ends…(no I do not believe it will ever come back) but we got some great sets out of this reboot. Yeah, sad that it’s ending (again, that’s in my opinion so far, no official confirmation, we shall see Sunday), but we have the sets that at least I never dreamed we could get in Bionicle G1. Seriously. Such complexity, functions, designs…great ride.

You know a few weeks ago I hated the leak info about a possible Makuta set coming out in this autumn… now I would give all my money for one.

I’d certainly have to disagree with you.

Yes. Just yes.

@Ekimu Yeah, I hope Lego will at least give us that.

I just have to say, if Bionicle gets cancelled and hero factory comes back next year, I will die laughing.
