Bionicle Planet System concept

These 2 sketches try to explain the planet system and evolution of the Bionicle universe at an early stage. It also shows the way the characteristic shape of the BB logo reflects the shape of the planet system. The rotation results in the symmetric shape that can also be seen in the shape of the island Mata Nui and the city of Metru Nui. The idea was that the reassembled Spherus Magna would have a compressed logo where the 2 “B”s were joined together.

  1. I'm confused by this. It's stated that Bota Magna is the 2011 setting, yet the copyright date is set as 2012, and since Bionicle ended in 2010 on Bara Magna, does that mean it will continue at some point on Bota Magna, or the copyright was simply re-dated for this particular upload? I'm guessing that latter, but it never hurts to ask.

  2. You are right. I am just dating and copyrighting them for the blog post. The files I'm posting is often conceptual work and ideas that was made long before the final version was approved. So a lot of the stuff is my own sketches and ideas used to navigate to the final concept.

  3. Hey, Chris, do you know by any chance if Greg is still working on the story? I don't want it to end with mavrah mysteriously still alive with no explanation

  4. I agree with Harry. Also, there's a mssive decline in the overall fandom/fanbase/community. Especially in BZPower. There's not nearly as much storyline theorizing, big posts etc. They always use the argument that they've grown out of it because it is a "dead and a discontinued toyline." I thought BIONICLE was meant to be more than toy, like a grand storyline... it saddens me, as I am diehard fan. Before all the downtimes of BZP there were much activity in those forum sections. Oh well.......

    By the way, Harry, there is an explanation. Greg gave on in one of his most recent Greg Answers things on BZP. It was earlier in this year, or perhaps late last year... I think you know all about it now though.
