New Media – BIONICLE 2015!

Bionicle+mask+video

LEGO has announced the return of BIONICLE through social media! They have teased use with a short description and animation of the Mask of Creation.

It is told that there exists a mask that will grant its bearer unspeakable power. Made from raw magic and solid gold, it is an artifact crafted with absolute precision and timeless skill – it is known as the Mask of Creation.

Welcome to the World of LEGO® BIONICLE®

We are ready to take you on an epic quest to find the Masks of Power. It will be a journey you will never forget. Stay tuned #BIONICLE2015

The anticipation is over – get ready for #BIONICLE2015

LEGO has also revealed the new BIONICLE logo through BZP.

Check out LEGO’s Twitter and Google+ posts to see the announcement, or watch the teaser in 1080 HD here on BMP.

 

Stay tuned for the probable BIONICLE 2015 set reveal at the New York Comic Con event, which our own XONAR will be attending, and stay tuned to the BMP, as we move into a new year of BIONICLE media!

We’ve excluded the “Bionicle Mistika 2008 – The Rise of Mata Nui” video from the download as it is a duplicate(though higher resolution at 640×384, as compared to the YouTube version’s 640×352) of the video we previously obtained from the Faber Files Blog.  The higher resolution version will be included in a future version of the video archive.

New Faber Files Bohrok Images

Christian Faber over at the Faber Files Blog has posted five new images from 2002’s Bohrok Saga, though a few of these are higher resolution versions of images we’ve seen before.  Seeing the Bohrok render with Technic font is kinda interesting though, seeing that 2002 was the first year that BIONICLE dropped its Technic parent branding.  Check out the new images at our gallery or check out the pictures page for downloads.

BIONICLE The Game Playthrough Widescreen 480p

Decided to take the quality for this playthrough a little overboard by using our previously released widescreen patches to record in native 16:9 on the Xbox. This, in addition to MNOLG/VNOLG and BIONICLE Heroes will be the first in a full series of BIONICLE Game playthroughs soon to be added to the archives.

As usual, you can find both download and streaming copies on the videos page.

BIONICLE Heroes Playthrough 720p

Finally got around to uploading this with JMMB’s help for streaming. This, in addition to MNOLG/VNOLG and BIONICLE The Game will be the first in a full series of BIONICLE Game playthroughs soon to be added to the archives.

As usual, you can find both download and streaming copies on the videos page.
