What games let you have cool pets?

Jesus there was a reboot?
I just remember, by comic lore, there was gen 1, then 2 where they evolved and thats where the gold mask guy came in, and then piraka was gen 3, i think, and thats where i was completely out of the loop for sure, how far did it last?

It only lasted 2 years from 2015 to summer of 2017.
Needless to say it bombed terribly, even though the sets themselves were pretty neat imo.

The original series lasted 10 years
The reboot is often called "Gen 2"
The gens you're referring to are called "Saga" or "Years"
Your gen 1 is the mata saga
Your gen 2 is the Nuva (I assume. There were a few times the main toa teams evolved)
Your gen 3 was really 2006 with the Toa Ignika

Bionicle heroes was pretty neat but it was just an FPS with some puzzle/exploration

>cool pet
user, costantly losing those little fangs was anything but

It would've been so much better if they just removed hero mode.
Hero mode alone ruins so much of the game since the same song plays, and it lasts till the end of the level and is required for a lot of stuff.

Forget the fangs
I kept losing the freaking ammo
It got to the point where my whole toa team had to share 6 bullets

Gotcha, yeah, i just remember falling off after the gold mask guy and the giant black evil one, then still seeing commercials for it
It was definitely the old CG model style used in the originals but thinking back to the art for those and the way they were presented gives me those good late 90s feels

Yeah super saiyan mode was kinda absurd
There's probably a way to mod the track out in the PC version if you mind the music being played on repeat

Reminder that Takadox is a JEW

Even that wouldn't fix it.
The main problem I have besides the music, is that you're invincible until you either beat the level are use it for that 1 gold robot that lasts like 10 seconds tops right at the end of the level
You aren't dodging stuff with it activated, you're just standing still and holding the trigger with no consequence

Real talk, Mantax was so based
He had the best "shoes" or "feet" or whatever models out of all the sets imo

Would you say anything good came from the reboot? Umarak looked cool but I never bothered picking him up.

Attached: SmartSelect_20190312-125716_Gallery.jpg (921x1316, 768K)

Mantax brought the best quote for us edgy 13 year olds
"I have no friends, only enemies I haven't killed yet"

Never really liked his head piece. Seemed to clunky compared to the rest of his body

The sets themselves are honestly pretty cool.
I like the combo feature of the toa + creatures/protectors
Umarak is pretty sweet yeah
Ekimu is no mata nui but still cool to look at
Literally the only positives are the sets though. The story and everything was terrible

best 2006 villains: zaktan, reidak
best 2007 villains: kalmah, mantax

>tfw my Pridak would never stand up right

Both of those sound like dogshit

An actually kino bionicle game would be something in between demons souls and system shock 2

Nice MOC, user!

Holy shit Mantax was the first edgelord

>Putting mantax above Ehlek
You poor soul

Pretty much all the Toa-waves sets were top-tier and honestly better than most G1 canister sets.
The villain-waves on the other hand needed some work but I really liked how they tried to give everyone a different play function.

Attached: utd2.jpg (704x1281, 294K)

The skeleton wave was pretty neat imo.
The beasts were kinda meh though. Gave off too much of a hero factory vibe to me

God I do miss Bionicles, even though I moved on from them starting with the Phantoka. It really did seem like that was going to be the finale anyways.

And then the Glatorians shit happened. My god, what were they thinking?

>Let's make Mata Nui a donut steel OC that can do no wrong

That was the Other M of Bionicle and nobody can convince me otherwise. The toys were already falling out of favor with the young ones but this, THIS is what killed it, including Greg Farshtey going full Nomura and turning the lore into some Kingdom Hearts tier abomination.

By the way the Air element/green bros were the best. Where my greenchadd at?

The original Bionicle mask designs were something so great nothing can really compare to them imo. I also liked how they had each mask in all 6 colors. Made it much easier to MOC with and give a character a specific design.

The glatorians weren't that bad.
Sure they were no toa, but I appreciated where they were going with it. A world neglected by the God where there are no heroes or elemental powers to keep order. It's kill or be killed, fight for land and trusting no one.

>that face when you only had carapar

Then again I had literally every single Rahkshi, for some reason I didnt like the underwater, phantoka/mistika or glatorian lines very much at all

They ran the inika body to the ground without ever really inventing anything particularly interesting. Although I will admit the Mahri sets WERE more inventive than the Inika in their construction but with some fucking weird choices as a result like Jaller with a retarded crab pet or Kongu with two guns (and these guns were always the shittiest things about the sets, only mouthbreather kids "played" with them and subsequently just lost all the ammo somewhere, they had zero MOC potential and just annoyed everyone with shit like balls that fall out of the launchers easily)

Also, greenchad here.
Lewa/Matau > all and you can't convince me otherwise

YO YO
PIRAKA

Hey atleast you had one. I never had any barraki/pirakha/rahkshi/bohrok
I pretty much only had the toa until the phantoka where I had all 3 of them iirc

While you're correct for the most part, honestly, after the end battle is where the good shit would've started on Spherus Magna. There were still mysteries and a whole new society getting used to the planet and the Great Beings FINALLY coming out to play, could've made for some cool ass sets and even some good story.

This.

For me, the point where things started getting bad was 2008, mainly thanks to the brittle as fuck plastic that plagued the series until its first cancellation.

Are you stupid? That last part with Mata Nui on Bara Magna was very good and the lore during/after that was extremely entertaining.

It's now called "present day Lego quality".

Also on the "story is terrible comment", I will admit I liked how Umarak went against Makuta. As far as I can recall, I don't think that ever happened in the og series. Kinda sad they never went anywhere with that since he ended up being mind controlled immediately afterwards anyways.

YO YO

Lego purposefully gutted G2's storyline from what I heard. It's pretty apparent even today that Lego fucking hates Bionicle, despite that it was what kept Lego afloat in its time of need.

Man what happened to ninjago.
It used to be so cool for the first few seasons, they just ditched the gold weapons and in some cases weapons in general.
Skybound was the last really good season imo

I get the point to an extent, since the og series did get way too complicated for it's own good (Even today I'm still constantly learning new stuff about it).
But they dumbed it down so much it was hardly even bionicle outside of name.

Thanks. I just wanted to make korgot thicc.

It still hurts. That line was the biggest insult, especially as a final goodbye. There were at least a few decent parts.

I've recently been reading through the Bionicle lore through the Ultimate Storyline Reading Order and it's not that things are complicated, there's just A LOT of history to the universe and most of it wasn't necessary to be outright explained to understand the main story.

I'd suggest reading up on it if you ever have nothing better to do:
bzpower.com/board/topic/15557-bionicle-the-ultimate-storyline-reading-order-2001-2010/

Holy yikes that looks awesome!

"Complicated" might've been the wrong word.
Point being, all the terms and who did whats and that weird time travel thing from metru nui made it somewhat annoying to learn it all.

True, but there should've been more than just six. There should've been AT LEAST 10, with like 1 or 2 titan sets.

I appreciate old system large scale mocs, shaping and proportions are nice too.

Metru Nui is simply a prequel to Mata Nui. No time travel was involved in the story. But yeah, that screwed me up as a kid as well in the storyline.

Honestly I'd switch out the skrall for a metru.
Maybe Whenua or Vakama?
(Maybe they can finally make vakama a good character)

>Ta-Koro
>Yellow Miru

Lego hates complex storylines in general, hence why Hero Factory became what it was despite Faber and Co. creating a story bible that was bigger than Bionicle's, with the Hero Factory setting being only the springboard into a much bigger universe, Chima's TV show being mostly throwaway kiddy garbage or Nexo Knights basically just being "Ninjago - Let's Trigger Castle and Space Fags Edition" with onedimensional stereotypes and bland villain designs/horrendously pulled off concept in its second year that basically doomed the IP to failure.

Mata Nui
Mask of shielding because it's op as hell

>especially as a final goodbye
Hero Factory did it actually really well in my eys with its final line and its small figures that blend in well with standard minifigs, even though the way HOW it ended was still a massive "fuck you".

Honestly, this.
>Top design goes to Miru
>Top power goes to Hau

There was time junk in one of the metru nui books.
I can't remember the book number, but I know the name was "Time Trap"
Maybe not time travel, but some weird alt reality thing where the toa weren't really the toa instead the matoran who were supposed to be toa actually became toa instead of the current toa.
That's the best way I can think to explain it so have fun figuring out what tf I meant by that because lord knows I don't even know

Toa Metru and Hordika came before Inika

They're all Turaga, I believe. But the Toa Hagah still exist so they could take the Metru place. Probably Norik or Iruini, which would still be pretty cool.

I don't know why they limited themselves with that. It honestly doesn't even make sense. If kids want the deep lore, they can get it, otherwise just follow the main storyline.

Oh shit, I think I remember something about that. I know there were alternate dimensions and such, I'll have to read up on that some more.

Fucking this. As previously mentioned, should've been at least 10 main sets (with pose-able fucking limbs) and 1 or 2 titan sets. I hope someday Lego does a remaster for the Toa Mata with pose-able limbs but that'll probably never come to fruition.

They did. But I meant since he was saying "Gen 3" so I tried to translate it as such.

How did you react to the big twist?

Fair, but keep in mind tahu was reverted back to his og form (or as close to it as the new builds would allow)

I know, but there would've been ways to make pose-able arms while keeping with the original design.

My mind was fucking blown. I had always had suspicions something wasn't right, but I remember seeing that robot rise up through Mata Nui (which broke my little kid heart) and knowing shit was about to fucking get real.

these little discs were the TIGHTEST SHIT to me. I always enjoyed the small story they told

He has opened the door he cannot return from

>The only reason the Toa Metru succeeded was because even Makuta thought they were absolute fucking garbage at their job and Mata Nui had chosen the wrong ones by accident and let his guard down

this is some xenoblade shit god damn

Why didn't we ever get any close-up shots of Mahri Nui homes or the actually town/village/city itself like we did in Metru Nui and Mata Nui? All artwork of Mahri Nui is zoomed way the fuck out and never really goes in depth. It's a shame, really.

It was all very otherworldly and imaginatively inspiring for sure. I loved the comics, flash animations, and flash game because of it.

The movie, on the other hand... I was embarrassed when I asked my parents to watch it and it was THAT bad.

Yeah Makuta definitely underestimated them which I totally get.
Like come on.
They aren't even supposed to be the main toa, just a bunch of whiny teenagers (except matau he's fine) on the hunt for the new mcr album.

It's funny how literally all the rest of Bionicle (including the saga which technically took place right after Metru Nui) was about being nothing like the Toa Metru. Uniting to complete a duty and fulfill your destiny.

He was the best. I still have his figure standing around in one of my cupboards.

I'm not saying he can't complain at all
But you're stuck as a toa now the least you can do is accept it man
Because after this you're just a crippled old man who get to watch another toa team do what you wish you could've done.
Also quick change, so the metru told the mata about the masks of power right.
If those masks are so important where were they in metru nui? Where did the masks come from to get to mata nui? Were they made?
It can't be mata nui because in some audio logs Mata nui flat out stated he didn't care in the slightest "about their petty squabbles" for the longest time.

>But Gorast, upon seeing Krika, went into a rage. She grabbed him and activated her mask power. This power caused Krika's density control to go wild, causing him to turn more and more ghostly. With a cry of anguish, Krika disappeared from view forever, having been turned into less then a phantom, killing him.

The Toa Inika didn't even realize they'd been turned into Toa and had to literally SAVE THE UNIVERSE without any training whatsoever and they got along better than the Toa Metru.

Also Matoro redeemed the cool badass rep Nuju had squandered.

The funniest part of the lore is that the toa mata was how indifferent they were to the whole unity duty destiny shit, they just wanted to fuck shit it

The golden masks were they key to Magaia iirc

Which led to the funniest "training" moments
I believe there was a gap or something, and everyone had some way to get over it except Kongu.
"How come everyone else can fly except the one guy who actually knows how to fly?" -Kongu or something like that

To be fair tho they were before they were even forced to do shit

You gotta admit once Matoro sacrificed himself, that's when shit got real from that point onwards

kek imagine the conversation they had

>where are we droppin' boys?

I immediately thought of my toa mahri once I saw the deadpool scene with the "I only have 12 bullets so yall are going to have to share"

I thought they entered the Toa pods out of sheer desperation to escape a dangerous situation and then they rose to the shore and landed on Voya Nui?

>"Little Toa, you have not yet begun to see even the barest outlines of my plans. I have schemes within schemes that would boggle your feeble mind. You may counter one, but there are a thousand more of which you know nothing. Even my ... setbacks ... are planned for, and so I shall win in the end."

Oh yeah, but my point was that the only reason they were so good together is because they all knew each other from when they were matoran
The mata and metru just kind of forced things

I thought likhan became turaga

Even then, the Mata still worked well together, despite their differences and arguments between one another.

nothing AAA, something that could be realistically made by a couple of devs and released for free

I played with Bionicles as a kid, know shit about lore, where's my photorealistic open world DMC clone with multiple characters to get me up to speed?

The entire Mata saga was peak Bionicle for me in terms of story, setting, and builds. I've been warming up to the Metru builds lately, and Mahri/Voya Nui were always comfy settings for me.

Fucking this and reading the ending and seeing what was teased on the horizon only makes me depressed we never got more sets. Would've liked to see another adaptive armor reiteration (one that at least resembles the original Mata design) and also seen a Varian/Norik and Takanuva/Jaller reunion, as well as some Great Being titans. Also this made it all the more special in my eyes.

Bionicle heroes but mod hero mode out, and add some of the previous toa as secret unlocks
Boom perfection

>that nigga holding a candle on his head

Hey man he's doing his best ok lay down a bit

Monster Hunter but you're Toa fighting Rahi

And instead of equippable armor you also have masks
So you get to choose between a mask with a power (elemental with added effects) or nuva armor (Much more defense but no elemental attacks or extra powers)

DMC but different styles are different masks you can equip.

Something like Bloodborne. The Masks will be like Caryll Runes or Hunter Tools

>but he begrudgingly goes on adventures with the other toa
That's basically the Toa Mata in a nutshell
I don't think anyone other from gali wanted to go on Toa adventures
Lewa was very adament that he wanted NOTHING to do with any of them

In some of the first story drafts the Toa were more like elemental gods of the island who would often fight over territory, and the matoran both worshipped and feared them

I remember I used to have that memorized and I would leave notes in desks using it

Makuta was a boring villain. The only time he was ever interesting was in the first movie where he was genuinely remorseful for having to keep Mata Nui sleeping and seemed to be a misguided villain but they ditched that characterization later on.

I kinda stopped following Bionicle lore after they got into the Metru Nui prequel stuff. Whatever happened to Takua/Takanuva? He was clearly supposed to be the protagonist of the franchise early on, did he go on to do anything cool after?

went on a dimensional jaunt and killed a crazy girl

He was a somewhat big character later on (2008 I think) with the phantoka.
But besides that, 03 was the only year he was ever a super important character.

You ever think they'll just release a little celebratory set only from the lego store/online, of some random bionicle character like Tuyet or Marendar? Not a line revival, just a little "we remember this brand did our company good"

No. The LEGO higher ups hate Bionicle

The true God of the bionicle universe

What even was this
Looks like something that would come in a cereal box

goodguys rise up

Close.
He was bundled with batteries.

Why did Bionicle have such an amazing story and lore for what amounts to a toy commercial?

Because in order for the toys to be good a good idea has to be behind them, and Bionicle's great lore lead to great inspiration for the toys that resulted.

Remember those remote-controlled crabs? They were pretty cool.

>always thought the best part of Bionicle was the Mata storyline, specifically the villagers
>making a village of your own required you to stuff your face in happy meals and hoping you got the right colors
>even then 80% of the matoran are impossible to build, if not because their arms/torso/feet only come in one color (two if you have a non-water bohrok va to mutilate), then because their mask colors were never sold not even in the random packs
almost two decades later and i am STILL mad never sold bags that contained a random official villager in them

>random villager bags
Fuck, such a simple idea and yet so good. How the fuck didn't they come up with this? I would have much preferred playing Matoran slot machine over getitng a dozen fucking Makus from McD as an earthfag.
>mfw 2003 rolls around with the matoran redesign and no air or earth matoran to be seen, ta-matoran lumped with the expensive big sets

Umarak was god-tier and easily one of the best villain designs Bionicle has put out.
The toa themselves were pretty legit.
Skulls were generic but I love them all anyways.

yes
in fact I still have the cd

Where does one go to read up on Bionicle lore? Is there a list of the necessary comics or something? Kid me never looked into it past the toys and the movies, and I kinda dropped off around the time the Piraka came out, but every time a Bionicle thread pops up I get curious.

nice, I'm not sure I still have mine

Whoa. Nostalgia wave. I had Turbo. Loved the designs, the fact that they were themed according to their environment. I completely forgot about the discs.

yeah I have the CDs that came with mine plus a bunch I got at a garage sale, which also has a Vorahk disc among all the Bohrok-Kal discs in it for some reason

>only two sets have purple masks - McDonalds Onepu and the scorpions Rahi set
>they're both pakaris

lucky you, I only got one of the silvery bohrohks as a kid, so I only had one CD

>tfw you own a golden Tahu mask

also this game, I never got the hang of it when I was young (probably because it was terrible), but it did have a nice soundtrack

>Monkey's paw
A hack and slash/shooter BIONICLE game comes in to existence within the next few years, but its a Battle Royale game.

It's not like there's much else in terms of purple mask selection. I guess you could use a purple krana from the builder bucket but that's not really a mask.
I only had two, it was nice finding the discs at the sale even though some were scratched up a little bit

Have no fear, Kongu two guns is here!

if i was this edgy during my youth i would be recoloring shadow the hedgehog and calling it an OC instead of fucking around with bionicle

yeah, I dunno about you, but I always thought garage sales were exciting as a kid. Anything could be hidden amongst the garbage

>lego makes facehuggers
>they look like faces
>so it's a face covering your real face

I kinda understand why they threw all those krana in a pit and buried them desu

Normal Lego SYSTEM bricks and minifigs were always more fun

Incept children with a corruption fetish that they'll end up discovering upon adolescence years later with no idea where the fuck it came from.

mate I found a GBA SP for $5 and several big buckets of lego during garage sales including one with 3 throwbots in it, that shit was fucking great
I just don't have enough time to go to garage sales during summer anymore, and now people sell stuff on ebay and shit if it's remotely desirable
also thrift stores, those are good too. Got part of the Electro throwbot and a Vezon missing an arm from them
