Bump.

And another question, do you personally like the look of the BIONICLE 2015 sets?

As I said earlier today, it is pointless to ask for my "personal opinion" on things, because what you will get is my opinion as a LEGO employee.

Oh and another question,

You said everything you write about BIONICLE is canon, right? Which is why you cannot finish the serials as fan-fiction. Well I think today Christian Faber posted on his blog a nice little picture with a Turaga and some words in Matoran Language at the top. We thought this was BIONICLE 2015 stuff (Since it was made in 2014) but he later said that it was simply fan-art. How is it that whatever you do is official, but he can make fan stuff?

I cannot speak to what anyone else does. I would also point out that Christian is not a direct employee of LEGO. He works for an outside creative agency employed by LEGO Company.

I'm going to ask this even though the response will be that you had nothing to do with the pictures. In the Mata Nui Saga there is a picture where Teridax raises his foot to smash everyone, there is a purple Rahkshi looking being in the picture. Its purple and black. I'm sure it's a rahkshi because it is holding a staff like how the rahkshi do.

Light Purple - Mind Reading
Blue/Purple - Accuracy
Purple - Power Scream
Black/Purple - Adaption

Could the Rahkshi be one of those? Which? Power Scream Rahkshi and Adaption Rahkshi both fit the color description.

And would that mean Tahu has that Rahkshi's power?
If you want to find the picture it is from the Mata Nui Saga Chapter 28. It is in the lower left of the picture, the purple rahkshi holding the staff.

And another question, I tried to post the link to the picture directly, but for some odd reason or another was listed as an inappropriate site. Biosector01, the BIONICLE wiki, which to my knowledge LEGO has supported before in the past. How exactly is this site inappropriate. You've mentioned the site several times on this topic. Do you have any idea why my post was declined 2 times. The first was because I had the link, the second was because I mentioned how BIOsector01 (though in the acronym) was called inappropriate.
Bump

This really is a question for a moderator. However, I can tell you that in LEGO Club Magazine, we are not allowed to link out to any non-LEGO site, because we have no control of the content of those sites. So the same rule may apply here.

Thanks in advance.

I believe this got buried.

No screen treatment for BIONICLE 5 existed either. We were literally having our first meeting to discuss possible story for 2010 when we were told the line was being cancelled. So all that ever existed for this was random ideas in my head, none of which ever got reviewed or approved by the story team. Thus they are largely meaningless.

1) I assume the metal was self-repairing

2) In the movies, yes, and in the books because they worked with the movie universe. In the comics, no.

3) 2003, probably

4) I think it was decided to do Toa Inika before it was decided who they would be, so probably 2005 sometime

5) Not sure, I haven't looked at the timeline in ages.

By yes do you meant that the Kavinika took place in the battle? Right.

Ok, so was the Kavinika one of the first rahi, or just one of the Rahi that Mavrah befriended/found?

BIONICLE #5 TREATMENT Posted by GregF, Dec 15 2009 · 8,926 views

Someone asked if I would post the original screen treatment for the planned 2010 movie (which, of course, is not getting made). Since this story will never get used for anything, I saw no reason not to share it. Please note, though, that this was a first draft -- it would almost certainly have been changed, maybe a lot, once it was run by TLC and Tinseltown Toons and Universal. But this was the original version.

A few things to emphasize before you read:

1) This is NOT official story, as it was never approved by TLC, though the very general outline did come from the story team as a whole.

2) The names of new characters are NOT approved BIONICLE names, and nothing exists on these characters beyond what is noted below.

3) Due to the fact that the overall story had to be changed with the decision to end the line, none of the events below ever happened in official BIONICLE continuity. This should be read as a curiosity, nothing more."

And then was the screen treatment. Remember now?

That wasn't an official screen treatment, though. As I said, that was my ideas. I never got commissioned to write a screen treatment for that movie (though I probably would have been, if the movie had been made) and none of that ever got reviewed and approved by the story team.

Please note, though, that this was a first draft -- it would almost certainly have been changed, maybe a lot, once it was run by TLC and Tinseltown Toons and Universal. But this was the original version. A few things to emphasize before you read: 1) This is NOT official story, as it was never approved by TLC, though the very general outline did come from the story team as a whole. 2) The names of new characters are NOT approved BIONICLE names, and nothing exists on these characters beyond what is noted below. 3) Due to the fact that the overall story had to be changed with the decision to end the line, none of the events below ever happened in official BIONICLE continuity. This should be read as a curiosity, nothing more." And then was the screen treatment. Remember now?

In these pictures: <have to exclude links...> Mata Nui Saga, Chapters 2 and 7 You can see a Skrall hanging out alongside Mata Nui and friends. Is this the same "bucket head" character? Why is he there? I have only a vague memory of this. You mean the BIONICLE 5 script? BIONICLE 5? BIONICLE 5 never had a script. We hadn't even gotten a story direction approved yet when the line got cancelled. I meant screen treatment. No screen treatment for BIONICLE 5 existed either. We were literally having our first meeting to discuss possible story for 2010 when we were told the line was being cancelled. So all that ever existed for this was random ideas in my head, none of which ever got reviewed or approved by the story team. Thus they are largely meaningless. But you posted it on BZPower in like 2009. That is how we found out about the Earth Tribe. A quick google search of 'BIONICLE 5 Screen Treatment' will bring up your blog post... That wasn't an official screen treatment, though. As I said, that was my ideas. I never got commissioned to write a screen treatment for that movie (though I probably would have been, if the movie had been made) and none of that ever got reviewed and approved by the story team.
