Higher quality leaks (much better than what we got on 4chan months ago)

As I said before, next year's gimmick is Toa pairing up with animals (hence why they are called "Unifiers" now). There's also some bear trap creature that are sold alongside the animals.

Kopaka is sold with his animal companion as a box set, and our new villain is called Umaru Umarak the Hunter and has the Mask of Control, the mask Makuta wore prior.

are they going not-nuva already
 
I was originally unimpressed by the 2015 sets, but the more I think about it, I realize I dislike the original Toa Mata sets as well, and every iteration since has been better in my mind. From the looks of this latest stuff Bionicle 2015 will be following a similar pattern.
 
Here we go, can't wait for next year.

So now the naming convention appears to simply change the title. "Master" of fire becomes "Uniter" of fire. My G1-infused heart disagrees, but I think that's a cool way of doing it.

Do you guys think G2 will ever reach a remotely similar place in lore to G1? If so, they may struggle without the concept of Toa. For now, I've kind of just been looking at the new sets as redesigns of the originals and retaining the G1 lore in my mind. I cant wait to pick up some of those Uniters/Toa Nuva next year, though.

Probably not, at best the story would make references to G1 (like "Master of Air" or "Beware their Stinger Tails").
 
And now this week, we get a commercial for the new winter sets and a trailer for the Netflix series.

That character animation looks absolutely godlike. The background design does not. And we have absolutely no indication if the sound design or VA work will be good. Still, I'm super interested.
 
Oh boy, more character trailers!

 
These have me a little bit more hopeful. Nice to see the word "Toa" not being completely shunned, also.
 
Now a trailer with voices!

 
Oh my god, finally I recover this account, I don't know if anyone will see this but, this is huge past news

A group of people recover the old data from the cancel game of mata nui, and rebuild some stuff for a better experience, this is sick, is marvelous, anyone who considerd a bionicle fan should play it!
