Brickipedia News:Welcome to Okoto
 | by Berrybrick October 5, 2014 |
Anyone getting tired of BIONICLE news? Despite the constant leaks and "reveals" there is still so much we do not know about the theme's return, mostly the story. While sifting through source code for the LEGO.com videos section, BZPower has discovered that the new setting seen in the box art for the five masters and Lord of the Skull Spiders which we have seen is an island known as Okoto. A sentence gleaned by BZP reads "LEGO BIONICLE is an epic legend set on the mystical island of Okoto where elemental heroes fight for masks of power against a rising evil," which, naturally, tells us very little about whether the old continuity will remain intact, but does imply a return to a similar setting which was used on the island of Mata Nui, where the first three years of the BIONICLE story took place. The only other things we know for sure about the story are that the "elemental heroes" are the original six Toa (Tahu, Kopaka, Gali, Pohatu, Lewa, and Onua) and that the Mask of Creation will be involved.
However, the name drop of Okoto is an interesting one. Earlier in the week an FAQ about BIONICLE leaked on the TTV podcast message boards (which our policy refutes us from linking to) mentioned that Okoto was the setting. Due to the dubious nature of the leak and a couple of inconsistencies among the questions, people were skeptical about its authenticity, but it did mention a few things such as the existence of mini-movies, books written by Greg Farshtey, five more sets in the second half of the year, that Hero Factory will be cancelled, and suggested that the word "Toa" would indeed be used. This find would seem to vindicate that the FAQ did have some truth to it.
