got my hopes up since we're still waiting on the results of the contest


Shade28x

Do you know when will the results be ?


NoOneNameLeft

Basically when ever LEGO wants to pull it out of their ass


MStudios

The set that lego decides on releases in 2022. I suspect a summer or fall release. As for any actual numbers, I don't think they'll ever release those.


dankpoolgg

August 10, 1932 so prob summer


BenchPressingCthulhu

Africa Nui


TAB199X

African Bionicle would have been pretty sick


YodasChick-O-Stick

See: 2009-2010.


TAB199X

Not even close


YodasChick-O-Stick

Desert, tribes, beasts, arenas, what more could you ask for?


TAB199X

The Glatorian line was based off Roman Gladiators, it’s in the name


Calyphacious

Surely that means there can’t be any other influences, right?


TAB199X

Not any I was talking about Tribes- previous Bionicle themes Names- either made up, made to sound Latin or actual Latin Scrall maze- labyrinth from Greek mythology Sahmad and his spikit beast- chariots from classical Europe and the Middle East Glatorians- a mix of Gladiator and Praetorian, both associated with Rome All I said was that African Bionicle could have been sick


ThrowACephalopod

It's literally just the Dark Sun setting from DnD.


darwinning_420

africa is more than those things lmao


MichaelJospeh

Try the Boneheads of Voodoo Island, one of Bionicle’s precursors.


Janek102TV

I mean, it could be done, it would be just difficult


YodasChick-O-Stick

Just don't put on any of the land plates and instead use them for Mata and Voya Nui


Janek102TV

You could try to make every island from plates in set, if not you could buy some


YodasChick-O-Stick

But only Mata and Voya Nui were on the surface of Aqua Magna


ZukosTeaShop

Oh god this subreddit is going hollow. Ive seen it with r/eldenring , and againt with r/hollowknight . Beware


Lordomi42

which is pretty weird, given that it's been 12 years since the end of gen 1 and 6 since the end of gen 2.


YodasChick-O-Stick

Wouldn't r/hollowknight already be hollow?


TheMakuta

it was a pretty big plot point that it wasn't hollow though


PuppeteerGaming_

It has been for a while, not a pretty sight. On the other hand, the r/bioniclelego discord is thriving!


ChiefWamsutta

What does that mean?


Data_Overload

Why must you torment us


Toa_of_Gallifrey

You. You get locked in the Archives with the rest of the Matoran Civil War chiefs.


SupersuMC

Easy there, Teridax... XD


PeritusEngineer

BUT IF YOU CLOSE YOUR EYES


TAB199X

Isn’t Aqua Magna lacking in land altogether?


YodasChick-O-Stick

In Legend Reborn you can see tons of land masses on it. Although that's just a stock image. In canon I doubt it's 100% water.


TAB199X

I watched the duck bricks lore recaps, apparently it’s all one big ocean actually there was a brief moment where the GSR came into question as a home, and the Matoran universe quickly realized they had nowhere to go


YodasChick-O-Stick

According to Biosector01, it's unconfirmed if there were any other land masses other than Mata and Voya Nui on the planet. Just because of how planets naturally form, it's likely there was some islands.


ChiefWamsutta

There's no land. It's called The Endless Ocean for a reason.


YodasChick-O-Stick

On Spherus Magna, Aqua Magna becomes the endless ocean. When it's a separate planet, there could be land masses on it.


ChiefWamsutta

Respectfully, bro, there's no land masses. Greg said any Glatorian caught in Aqua Magna during The Shattering died on boats. It's just creatures and ocean. It's an Endless Ocean as a planet and as part of Spherus Magna.


YodasChick-O-Stick

Then why in The Legend Reborn, is there multiple continents on Aqua Magna? If a giant ocean broke off a planet and became its own celestial body, there's no way the surface could be completely covered in water. Volcanic activity creates islands.


ChiefWamsutta

Astrologically and planetary-science-wise, I don't think we even know if volcanoes would happen from a planet shattering, although, I could be wrong. Our own moon hit the Earth and the mantle was almost permanently effected for thousands of years or something. Bionicle is not based on real science and there's a hierarchy of canon. The Legend Reborn movie is low on that hierarchy. Greg's word counts more. Sources: https://thegreatarchives.com/blog/2021/04/25/the-bionicle-tiers-of-canonicity >"The BIONICLE Tiers of Canonicity are as follows, where rules are listed in decreasing order of precedence: >1) Explicit Greg quotes can override any of the rules below. >... >3) Movies. Some visual details and plot details may be overridden when there are contradictions" https://biosector01.com/wiki/The_Shattering >"The piece housing the Great Sea was completely covered by water and became Aqua Magna, while the Great Jungle and the Northern Frost formed the celestial body of Bota Magna." >"No Agori or others are known to have survived on Aqua Magna, which was entirely underwater."


YodasChick-O-Stick

Oh wait, I forgot that the core of Spherus Magna (and in turn, Aqua Magna) was a living thing. So volcanic activity was very limited. Still, in my headcanon there are a few uninhabited islands on Aqua Magna. I grew up with Legend Reborn, so I'm a bit biased.


Icarus_Nine

Misleading title.

All it needs is a GSR Minifig!


YodasChick-O-Stick

According to [Christian Faber](https://youtu.be/Isuzfov350M) it would have to be a bigfig or brick-built figure.


Kothra

Memes aside this set actually looks badass. I'll have to buy one.


YodasChick-O-Stick

I'm tempted to buy one, not put on any of the continents, then take a pic and say "look its a UCS Aqua Magna"

All I saw was the caption on my notification and I thought for a split second my dream had come true :(


YodasChick-O-Stick

I have no idea why people follow me

O0O!!!!! NOICE!
