Bionicle General Discussion Thread

Does anyone know why Helryx is island level (even without Nova Blasts) on the VS Battles wiki, while every other Toa is city level without Nova Blasts (even the Toa Nuva)?
Helryx should be downgraded to City level. She is not comparable to Axonn and Brutaka. Just because she's the leader of the Order of Mata Nui doesn't necessarily mean she's stronger.
 
Greg stated that the Great Spirit Robot weakens all Nova Blasts used within it and that ones used outside it are much stronger.
I think I disagree that this implies it nerfs the nova blasts. I think this simply implies the domes contain the Nova blasts so they don't effect as wide of an area.

The language "there are safeguards to protect other domes from a Nova blast" implies that the dome the Nova blast is used in doesn't receive any additional protection from the blast.

Like setting off a nuke inside an impenetrable box. The nuke isn't nerfed, it's just it can't effect anything outside the box.
 
Should we replace the Pohatu Odina fortress feat?

It uses the Matoran universe map for pixel scaling. The map which has been said by greg to not be to scale.

Supported by this map which has a wildly smaller size for voya nui compared to the map.

Made another calc of Gali Nuva's Nova blast. As mentioned in the blog itself I didn't like how the old calc of it used a map which Greg has confirmed to not be to scale so I used alternative methods to calc it. And a calc group member said the math looks good.


Since it's literally the only Nova blast that actually occurs in the series it felt pretty important to have a clean calc of it.

I'm thinking I'll try redoing the calcs of Greg stating Jaller would vaporize the water for miles or hundreds of miles around next. I have an idea for determining the minimum depth of the ocean

There's some decent skill stuff from the Bara Magna era of Bionicle. Particularly with Ackar having Analytical Prediction, which he teaches to Mata Nui to the point where he can predict attacks based on the smallest of movements

Also given the immense lifespan of Glatorians and Skrall, with their lives being dedicated to combat, that's worth considering too

I'll try going more in-depth on that if I collect the skill feats in a more cohesive manner
 

Right now, Takanuva's page says he only might be able to use light-based abilities regarding his speed...but it really isn't that vague

This scan outright tells us his control of light extends to blinding flashes and pinpoint laser beams

Also

The Pahrak Bohrok are individually capable of creating violent earthquakes. The Pahrak were also responsible for Ga-Koro nearly being destroyed twice had they not been stopped

There's still a lot more scans to gather

Looking back at the Inika Arc, the Piraka do pretty damn well against the Toa Nuva. I see some people online say "Brutaka play a part in that" but he...genuinely didn't? He wasn't there assisting or anything. The Piraka just beat the Toa Nuva, straight up
 
I didn't even notice you calculated the Cord's destruction, nice. Class M is also great. I had a strong feeling that a lot of Toa had better feats than Class 100 or Class K

Toa Mahri Supremacy
Although the acceleration due to gravity comes from this calc which means it only works if the smaller size of the GSR is accepted

Nice finds! There's also the part where Kopaka implies that he could have frozen Karda Nui
 
The Wastelands are so hot that by noon, only desperate Agori traders and Bone Hunters are found travelling them, while at the worst part of the day, merely touching the sand causes burns. At night, the temperature drops drastically to where a group of Agori (or most, in this case) must crowd their campfires

This should honestly apply to most of the named/combat relevant Bara Magna characters. In this case, it would be Resistance to Heat Manipulation (on both scales). Glatorian, Skrall, Bone Hunters, etc. already spend a lot of their time out in the Wastelands at different times of the day. Meanwhile, we've seen multiple characters managed themselves fine in the cold of the night in the Wastelands

If he's only "experimenting" with "increased speed", wouldn't this imply he isn't actually going lightspeed via normal usage of his powers?

No, that’s incorrect. You’re focusing on the wrong information

The “increased speed” thing isn’t what I’m using to prove lightspeed stuff. The two Takanuva scans I linked above are proof that Takanuva in fact uses legitimate light, ergo his elemental attacks should be SoL

I’m not necessarily arguing he’s lightspeed in terms of combat speed, only that his light attacks are. Though if there’s any instances of characters dodging his light attacks and Takanuva scaling to those characters, then that’s worth discussing

Point being, even without the experimentation line, Takanuva is using legitimate light. That’s undeniable. He is using literal light

pretty dead thread but I'll post it anyways

Nuva symbols disperse giant clouds which cover large portions of mata nui

I got it to city level via water vaporization, and country level via KE, do we think this would scale to the toa nuva directly, only to the Nova blasts, or does it not scale in any way?

I think it would scale to the Toa Nuva.
 
Agreed

Who knows, it’d it gets high results, it could mean the Inika/Mahri and Piraka get upgrades too given that they scale to the Toa Nuva

I did do a calc of it on a different site, I'll see about copying it over and hopefully getting it approved. Even if only the lower end gets accepted I think it would be a good replacement or supporting calc for the current calc the nuva scale to, since that uses pixel scaling on a map that is confirmed to be not to scale.

A possible upgrade for Bionicle ?
 
Questions.

Do you think the Mata Nui Robot should be considered straight 4-C? Teridax claimed multiple times that he could destroy entire universes, and WoG clarified that he could achieve this over time by systematically destroying planets and suns. Moreover, the planets within the Solis Magna system appear to be much larger than Earth, as Mata Nui is shown visiting several of them during his journey.

Should each Legendary Kanohi be rated as High 5-A, since the Prototype Mata Nui Robot used the power of the Ignika to restore Spherus Magna to its original state after the three planetary fragments were reunited, and because all Legendary Kanohi are considered to scale to one another?

Should all Makuta be rated as 6-C, since they are at least equal to or stronger than beings such as Axonn and Brutaka, and because the Makuta of Karda Nui were holding back against the Toa Nuva, who, according to Onua, could have killed them if they had fought with actual killing attempts?
