BIONICLE
This year, LEGO has a whole new exciting storyline centered around
Voya Nui, the floating island!
Voya Nui is a most extraordinary island. It was once part
of a large land mass, but broke loose during an ancient cataclysm. Its
inhabitants have been struggling for survival ever since.
After many years of desolation, islanders are running out of
liquid protodermis – which keeps them alive and healthy. To make things worse,
the island’s burning core is about to become extinct, which will make it a
cold, uninhabitable wilderness.
Since times of old, the floating island of Voya Nui has been
guarding an ancient secret. Hidden deep inside the island’s burning core is an
ancient mask – the Mask of Life – so powerful it could mean life or
death to the entire BIONICLE universe.
But a devious an spiteful gang – the Piraka – has
arrived to seize the Mask. Nobody knows exactly who they are or where they
came from, but they’re evil. They carry a potion that turns every inhabitant
into their slave, and their determined not to let anything stop them. Should
the Mask of Life fall into their hands, the entire universe will be in
peril.
In the darkness of the night, six heroes codenamed Inika
arrive on the shores of Voya Nui on a mission that could very well be their
last. Their goal: find the Mask of Light and save the Great Spirit Mata Nui
from dying.
On the island, they discover the Toa Nuva and Matoran
populations have been enslaved by the Piraka and forced to search for
the Mask of Life. Now these heroes must pit their skills and the powers
granted them by a bolt of lightening against the six villains and the ancient
evil they protect.
Matoran
Velika: This master inventor designs elaborate
equipment for use by the resistance. Although wise, he speaks in riddles and
can be hard to understand. Twin power carvers enable him to craft a new device
in seconds.
Kazi: The only Matoran who knows the deepest secrets
of the island of Voya Nui. Sharp and sarcastic, he defends himself using twin
echo forks to produce a devastating sound wave.
Piruk: Stealthy and quick, he can sneak in and out
of enemy bases to gather information for the Matoran resistance on Voya Nui.
If he’s caught, his shredder claws can rip through solid metal to make an
escape route.
Garan: The brave and smart Matoran leads the fight
against the invading Piraka. His twin pulse bolt generators fire a ball of
energy that grows more powerful as it travels.
Baltan: This untouchable Matoran can easily turn any
pile of discarded equipment into a device or defense tool. When his twin repellers
are crossed, he can block any attack.
Dalu: The most skilled fighter in the Voya Nui
resistance, she is always ready for a fight. Her twin chargers enable her to
increase one attribute of a target (strength, speed, ect…) for a brief time.
Toa Inika (Available in August)
Jaller: A masterful and fearless lava surfer, Jaller
leads the journey down the dangerous lava tunnels to Voya Nui’s secret
interior. Raw Energy flows over the blade of his energized flame sword.
Hahli: Hahli’s magical mask of Detection and her
superior sixth sense make her invaluable in the search for the Mask of Life.
Her energized hydro harpoon can punch through even the thickest protodermis
armor.
Nuparu: With his heavy forceful body, Nuparu takes
the lead in any fight. His laser-powered blaster drill, giant claws and sharp
spikes make him a real “mean machine” both in combat and at work.
Kongu: The lightest and fastest of the six Toa, Kongu
protects his friends from vicious aerial attacks. His laser crossbow fires
lethal arrows of pure energy that will split anything it hits into atoms
Hewkii: Hewkii’s hyper-powered vibra axe cuts
through solid rock as if it were butter while its vibrating blade can split any
objects in halves in milliseconds. The chain come sin handy when rock
climbing.
Matoro: Able to depart from his physical body and
turn invisible, Matoro is sent on missions to spy on the enemy or search remote
parts of the island. His laser-powered ice sword pacifies anyone – or anything
– suspicious.
Titans (Available in August)
Axonn: A mighty and mysterious figure, Axonn helps
the Matoran in their resistance against the evil Piraka. His giant axe slices
through even the hardest rock as if it were butter. Virtually invulnerable and
able to make lava balls with his bare hands.
Brutaka: Former guardian of the sacred Temple of Life
who has now joined forces with the Piraka. Brutaka uses his giant rotating
blade to cut through any obstacles in his obsessive search for the Mask of
Life.
Vezon and Fenrakk: In an attempt to get hold
of the Mask of Life, the mysterious 7th Piraka has been fused to the
back of the Fenrakk spider. This lethal pair now waits for anyone brave – or
foolish – enough to get hold of the mask.
Playsets (Available in August)
Piraka Outpost: The evil Piraka have guarded the
approaches to their stronghold with Nektann, automated guardian robots. With
the help of a barely named Rahi, the Toa must storm the outpost and fight their
way to the stronghold.
Lava Chamber: The Toa have reached the entrance to
the Chamber of the Mask of Life. But will they live long enough to get through
it. It’s a battle to the finish between the Toa and the Piraka in the shadow
of the Lava Chamber Gate.
Piraka Stronghold: The evil Piraka have built a
massive fortress on the island of Voya Nui. From here they craft their plans
to keep the Matoran enslaved and steal the Mask of Life. The Toa must seize
the stronghold if they hope to stop the Piraka before it is too late. But with
the forces of the Piraka and their Zamor Sphere launchers set against them can
these six new heroes hope to survive?
