The unreleased BIONICLE PC Game from 2001 has been restored by fans and is releasing on August 10th

Where do I start if I want to learn Bionicle lore?

DMCA for a cancelled game from 18 years ago for a toyline that is no longer being produced? I have the feeling they'll let this one slide

Man if they had released that in 2001 I bet bionicle would have been even bigger, that looks rad as fuck for 2001 standards
I had the red one of course but my favorite was green

Toa Metru were the pinnacle in Toa design, change my mind

unfortunately it doesn't matter. lego still owns the ip and the more this is advertised the more likely it is to get shot by a random bored lego lawyer.

Gappy shoulders with loose swivels that were prone to stressing the pieces

>for a toyline that is no longer being produced

It was originally cancelled in 2010 and then brought back shortly for a reboot in 2015&2016, but then cancelled again before the 2016 wave was finished.

Romance

Onua, since he was literally the first Toa I owned.

Ice guy is undeniably the coolest

Like MNOG but online

It doesn't even have to be 3D, it can be 2D Zelda style where you control your Matoran from an overhead view. As long as there are other players to interact and team up with.

I got that ice one back when these first came out and tried to shill Bionicle at my school so that other kids would play them with me, but it never took, so I didn't keep up with the franchise. Were any of the video games any good?

Because it was released when you were a kid.

Shhh. Just let it happen

Ehhh, not really. Most of them are mediocre. The best game is Mata Nui Online game which can be played here: biomediaproject.com/bmp/

I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure they're clear with LEGO for this. They also have every other Bionicle game available for download on Biomediaproject, also legally I think.

YOU CAN'T STOP ME, GREG. I'LL MAKE IT CANON

But how would it work?

As in what way? Toa? Nah. They are all siblings at this point.

Like the voices. Also Onua is one hell of a bro.

Onua are Pohatu will forever be the broest of the Toa

They'd make it work, believe me. I mean, just look at Roodaka and try to tell me that every Toa and Matoran on Aqua Magna wouldn't be willing to throw away their morals just for a chance to tap that sweet robutt.

Because it's true. Bioniclefags are on average insufferable redditors.

Aye.

Siblings in a spiritual way.

Roodaka is a meme. Never saw the appeal. Generic and out of place design. I mean really, it's just any other Titan set but with high heels and a weird lizard furry face. And the designs for EVERY character are bad in the movies.

An MMO that lets you build your custom Matoran, explore Mata/Metru-Nui, and upgrade into a Toa.

>they'll let this one slide
Kek yeah right, that's not how big companies operate. They have a thousand lawyers ready to Jew anyone at a moments notice

>An MMO with MOC-like customization
Holy shit that would be crazy

Wow. Those are nice Toa. Pity LEGO never done them fully articulated.

EVEN

WHEN

Other than the OG, which series of bionicles did you enjoy? Mahri is up there for me.

Probably because the original fanbase grew up and stopped buying them, and the lore was too complex for new kids to get into or just generally didn't appeal to the newer generation

OH YEAH
than they can commit spiritual incest

WE

It's funny since Bionicle is the sole reason LEGO still exists today

Metru, Inika, and the Phantoka

Metru, Inika and Marhi
Phantoka/Mistika were alright but mainly because I missed out on the Mata/Nuva

Nuva and Metru.

I'd say I enjoyed them equally up to the Mahri. The designs started getting weak around the time the Phantoka/Mistika came out.

Why shouldn't they put their names in the credits? They worked on the game after all, albeit 18 years later

The Phantoka were alright but the Mistika had the weakest designs.

This thread is nice and all but DO YOU KNOOOOOW, WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A HERO?

Tahu was pretty good but Onua and Gali were fucking terrible

Onua is chad

Why did the bonkles became so "overdesigned" and cluttered while the villain things became simpler as sets went on?
For example the Mahri nui enemies were peak while the toas were not particularly great.

Are the original devs involved?

now this. this is what we need to revive Bionicle again

I would sometimes take the spare heads like this and put 1-tile bricks and parts in front of them and pretend it was temple sized

Some kind of JRPG or WRPG adaptation of different parts of the original story. Or maybe something like a Monster Hunter-style PvE game fighting things like Rahi, Bohrok, and Makuta, customizing your Toa and playing in a team of six.

Unreleased? I had this shit on CD and played the fuck out of it

Is there any kid's properties that have an epic fantasy/sci fi world like Bionicles anymore? I know for the cartoon side of things they have fantasy, but it isn't taken seriously and is a vehicle for jokes.

This kills the Greg

why don't you get a bookshelf to put your sets on so your room is actually livable?

Epic collection bro.
Brings back many happy memories.
I am still bitter that only the US got the McDonald's exclusive Matoran figures. And the orange Vahi. And the metal bohrok masks. And the purple kraata slugs. Being a non-US fan was suffering...
