hero mode invulnerability kind of ruins the game, but in some boss fights it actually gets surprisingly difficult, not that i had much issue with it but wooo Nuparu carried me once i got him fully upgraded, hes got basically a smart grenade launcher because you can press fire right after to detonate it early

[@praisesolek]

You're right on the money; the Iruni was originally meant to be pre-mutation Nidhiki. The Norik was also meant to be the Toa form of Turaga Dume. If memory serves, they only changed it so it was referencing characters from that year (the Rahaga) instead of ones from the prior year. If you're curious, there was a fan contest and winners for designs for the rest of the Toa Hagah.

[@brunky89890]

I liked, favorited, and was already subscribed. Looking forward to the 24 hour Bionicle assembly stream!

[@weakliestterror1337]

Oboeshoes is the only legend who still cares about Bionicles and give the new generation history of the lore

[@TheBohrokMan]

According to Greg Farshtey, the Toa Iruni design was considered to be used for a pre-mutation Nidhiki: "The original idea for those models was that they would be Toa Nidhiki and Toa Dume -- this was scrapped when Bob decided he might want to tell a larger story about those characters someday, so he did not want them out this year. So we decided the next best thing to do is make them Toa Iruini and Toa Norik so we can tell the Rahaga origin story." However, this other quote from Greg suggests the mask design may not have been on purpose - the similarities were noticed after the fact by the story team: "...actually, the sets were never "originally" anything, really, because the set designers don't think in terms of characters when they design. When they were shown to the story team, someone suggested that was who they could be. The head of the story team at that time, Bob Thompson, said no, because he might want to tell a Toa Nidhiki or Toa Dume story down the road and so he didn't want sets out for them now. The whole conversation took about three seconds at which point the idea was scrapped." I guess only the designers themselves would know, but it sure does look intentional to me! Anyway, time to get back to listening to this game's soundtrack while doing nothing

[@jorymo4964]

It never made sense to me how the story and toy teams apparently never talked to each other. I think that was a big reason a bunch of sets represented characters who showed up for a few pages of a comic or something, but a lot of really important characters like Helryx or Tuyet never got sets. In short, it was really weird that major characters in a toy line never got toys. It'd be like if Optimus Prime was only mentioned in books

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

My favorite think about this game is the map design (well also the music but we're gonna talk about map design.) Just about every level in a certain world ends where the next level of that world begins. Even though it may not feel like it with all the jumping back to the hub, eagle eyed players can eventually catch on to the fact that they are actually going on an adventure and following one long path to the Piraka. Some levels even have portions that loop back on each other. Really makes the world feel connected. Granted, that's because behind the scenes the Zamor levels and Titan levels were originally the same level... but its still cool! 2:17 Onepu is a lazy piece of shit who shirked his responsibilities to make Taipu do all this work, and a snob who talked down on anyone he met. Nuparu is a chad engineer who built a giant mecha with hook fists to beat the shit out of giant bugs. He just casually carries a welding torch around everywhere he goes. Badass 5:29 This ain't a conspiracy. The set designers flat out confirmed that Norik and Iruini were supposed to be Dume and Nidhiki. 6:45 Up until like my last year of high school my brother and I would 100% this game together at least once a year together.
