[Sad News]
Bionicle Masks of Power cancelled at the request of the Lego Group.
x.com
Another reminder to everyone to keep your fangames under wraps.
[Sad News]
Fangame is in production since 2017
Gets cancelled just as the team was on the cusp of releasing a proper demo
LEGO only now issues a takedown
Bionicle Gen 3 is happening, isn't it?
he made a STEAM PAGE for it
truly man's greatest weakness is his own hubris
Good fucking riddance
Lead writer for that game is an unhinged troon who slandered people over edgy jokes and having the wrong politics
Fuck them and fuck their "game"
clearly missed fan project Rule#1: SHUT THE FUCK UP
tranny wants his money
Here's your lead writer, xir
troon vs troon
Lead writer is a tranny
Gahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, WHY do trans-trenders insist upon themselves everywhere I go? Funny you posted a screencap of Kirsche though who recently BTFO'd a tranny from VICE who tried to cancel her after she got dropped from some indie game on Steam
kirsche
troon
lol
lmao even
good, the modern bionicle community is a disagrace
tranny lead writer
WHY do trans-trenders insist upon themselves everywhere I go?
Because the whole point, is to infiltrate your hobbies and subvert them so you have no escapism from them, they are not actual fans, but the complete opposite.
Regardless, this is karma for working with a cancel pig
no dude that vtuber is my waifu don't talk bad about her
"""She""" won't fuck you dude
You sound like a turbo normalfag, genuinely.
Haha wow
I'm just saying, I only ever see the vtubers are all men sentiment by actual tourists or literal Gen X boomers.
K
literal Gen X boomers
what on earth are you talking about
Yep, troons infested it because of fucking course they did like everything else that got overrun by their kind in the past decade. I recently saw the TTV cast reunite for one last podcast here recently and that shit brought a tear to my eye not gonna lie as somebody who was aware of the Bionicle fandom through BZPower growing up, but didn't really get into the weeds of it until Bionicle G1's cancellation in early 2010 through The Three Virtues podcast/youtube channel.
TTV cast
miss those bastards already
More that its easier to pretend you got DMCA'd than it is to admit you have been taking patreon money for a decade with no intent to ever actually complete a playable game.
More like Fortnite LEGO is getting bionicle skins or something
Nice digits man, 1,000 1,000, nice
who infiltrated a hate church
At least the creature is honest about why it tries to make videogames.
The little demo video looks nice, kinda reminds me of an old gamecube/ps2 era game in a way
that sucks, it looked legit fun, but at the same time
they/them trans person
yeah, bionicles dodged a bullet there
We went from sheltered Christian kids to this
Why can't every western dev be like the stardew valley guy? He just works on his games and doesn't pretend to be a YouTuber. Seriously that dude in pic and everyone like him are testing to see if they can become call-out twitter users only because coding is too hard
I guess this is the new "the hard drive with version 0.99 got fried by a lightning, then I accidentally spill acid on it and someone stole my pc (with the hd, of course). Sadly, no backups of any kind exists."
never ever
if they were never planning to make money on it then they can just leak it
If I owned an IP I was doing nothing with I would exclusively shut down any fan projects that has a tranny working on it
so we want this to fail?
wait, I thought they had green light for this?
Considering how much troons have ruined nerd culture since 2015, yes, actually we do. A shame since Masks of Power looked like what many of us as kids thought Bionicle: The Game was going to be be like before release.
youtu.be
steam page for a fan game
what did they think would happen?
I swear to god these people are all retarded
green light means shit unless they have it on paper, even Steam kicks people off
More indie devs are like the Stardew Valley guy (albeit without the massive success he had) than the person in pic, you just don't hear about them
lego is really out here ghostbusting their dead IP, huh
I'm still half convinced they are secretly working on Bionicle G3, but ehh, who knows?
yes
I don't/didn't
why are suit ( jews, really) so retarded?
The clearly winning move is to license it ( it costs you nothing, you may make money from it ) instead they just shut down everything.
Modern society would have copyright stuck Jesus down for replicating fish and bread.
BUT WAIT
THERE'S MORE:
thanks, didnt catch that
I did and I'm an oldfag who was introduced to Bionicle by these lil niggas who came with my McDonald's happy meals. Masks of Power had more promise than most Bionicle fangames out there to be fair, but the moment I found out a trans-trender was head writer as seen in and , I dipped both out of principle as somebody who's sick and tired of being sick and tired with woke shit being in every facet of our lives, not just vidya, and as somebody who knew that having a tranny on board in writing a fan game based on a LEGO toyline that went defunct 15 years ago now would mean there would be inexplicably be female Bionicle characters in every tribe instead of only the water tribe as in the official lore.
While I can believe LEGO would be petty enough to strike a fanmade non-profit game, something about this situation seems, I dunno, fishy the more I think about it. Why would LEGO suddenly have a problem with Masks of Power existing despite the game having been in development for years? Why was a trans-trender head writer for a game based off of an old property aimed at children? It doesn't add up I'm telling you.
IDK man, I'm willing to overlook how much I hate niggers/faggots/trannies/kikes as long as the actual product is good and doesn't endorse retarded nonsense
Which I had yet to see this have, and now we won't get to see
Plus it's literally just one dude on the team, even if they're the lead writer
troon vs a woman that actually likes men and thinks hating white people is not okay
Shut the fuck up falseflagging nigger.
Why would LEGO suddenly have a problem with Masks of Power existing despite the game having been in development for years? Why was a trans-trender head writer for a game based off of an old property aimed at children?
I'm gonna sound absolutely schizo but, a part of me 100% believes that LEGO saw what the writer was doing
with people like Kirsche, as well as others, and then decided to dip out, seeing as having Bionicle being affiliated with a writer doing that is potentially bad for their image (somehow)
I have no receipts and no credible evidence regarding this, but i insist it is a possibility, despite LEGO nowadays
being woke as hell, they cant be bothered with someone else tainting their image, if that makes sense
Wahhh
Even normalfaggots are revolted your kind now, the pendulum is swinging.
why don't these fuckers just claim to get hacked and anonymously leak the final build? it's so silly they fully capitulate instead of just backdooring it
Yes. There's plenty of media and content to consoom that hasn't been ruined by trannies. I want every single tranny, faggot, right-wing, left-wing, AAA project to fail.
tell fans to shut down fan game
they claim they'll comply
game is "mysteriously" released onto the internet by hackers soon afterwards
Zero chance that would fool them. It's way too obvious, and given how many millions of dollars LEGO has to put towards legal action I don't blame them for avoiding any shenanigans.
Oh man, you reminded me of TTV. I had a huge Bionicle resurgent phase when G2 was coming out and I think I saw every single video they released at that time. Love those niggas. I still remember some specific moments from a random toy podcast.
Meant to reply to
Why is this series so cursed?
LEGO being based enough to BTFO a tranny
If only, they did virtue signal about Pride Month a while back
the pendulum is swinging
insofar as companies are scaling back on DEI, not disregarding it entirely. Once Trump is out of the White House for good in 2029, who knows man? I hate to get any more political in a thread based on one of the core pillars of my childhood, but while performative progressive bullshit IS getting major pushback nowadays, corporations won't stop shoving it in our faces all the same. Not until Blackrock and Larry Fink go under I'm afraid.
Okay, so let’s sit down and hash this out together: why has Bionicle started to attract trans people, or, alternatively, why have communist activists found success in framing Bionicle as a fandom that contains a notable number of trans people in order to astroturf it? What about the series appeals to them? Is it the:
tribal, communal nature of Matoran society that comes off to the uninitiated as communist even though they canonically use currency
heavy theming related to religious/fantasy concepts being reframed as science
story arcs that feature fetishes commonly had in other communities that trannies have ruined, like corruption and mind control
entire arc and 10+ cast members in common with My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, another fandom subsumed by trannies
portrayal of Matoro as the Matoran civilization’s Jesus figure, which could be seen as blasphemous
general overlap with old web/flash aesthetics
Why does Lego hate Bionicle again?
8 fucking years
For bionicle of all things. It wouldn’t have even cracked 10k on a chinese steam chart. But you can’t fault the devs, that’s a pretty cushy grift they maintained for almost a decade.
There's no grand conspiracy. Troonism appeals to spergs who don't fit in amongst normalfags. They correctly see that women have higher social value and try to be that.
And of course, any interest with many men "outside the norm" will fall victim to this. Bionicle, speedrunning, the list goes on.
I wonder if Lego hates Bionicle for the same reason neurotypicals hate Shadow The Hedgehog or anime or whatever other thing they see as a proxy for weird people. Maybe they killed it because they saw the fandom as a threat.
About the only thing I can think of is that Takanuva had Gali Nuva arms and legs coupled with the fact that Takua was a member of the fire tribe on the island of Mata Nui and the only one who had a blue mask and didn't "fit in" with his tribe let alone any other tribe. As retarded as it sounds, many trans-trenders in the Bionicle community latched onto that insignificant factoid and claimed Bionicle is a "trans metaphor" as they do with every other goddamn fandom they've cannibalized.
Because it kept them afloat during the 2000s whether they like it or not. The real reason LEGO has washed their hands of Bionicle is because they managed to evolve as a company taking what worked with Bionicle and transplanting it into their normal brick and minifigure toylines i.e Ninjago. Essentially, they don't need to think way outside the box anymore like they had to going into the 2000s
Oh please, why are you looking for reasons?
A game was being made. The game "needed" to have a managerial class for discord mods, PR, team leads etc. naturally, cheap power over the internet attracts the mentally ill like shit does flies. If it wasn't a troon it would have been a narcissist, a sociopath, a jew, a political hacktivist of some other ilk, a longcon troll, a standard issue asshole etc. Or in a case that's rare to the extreme without a filter and gatekeeping, a normal person.
As for the fandom at large first you have to remember that there's no such thing and anyone claiming to be a member of or god forbid speaking for a "fandom" is either lying or delusional and in both cases has some agenda he wants to spin on you. After that the reasons are the same they infiltrate any other community. They try to put themselves as close to the top of the foodchain as possible, then try to wield their position of virtual respect to influence it's members and wield the community itself to lend weight to their attempts to influence everyone else.
Why was a trans-trender head writer for a game based off of an old property aimed at children?
it's literally just autism.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Because bionicle G2 was a flop, one of the biggest ones in recent LEGO history in fact and the reason why an entire build system got canned in no small part thanks to LEGO's whishy washy way they handled the marketing, combine that with a rabid fanbase that has constant slapfights with the general LEGO one and you get a understandable view of why they do not want to acknowledge the IP aside of nostalgiabaiting
I feel like modern day lego is just soulless endless crossover sets and it lacks that creative spark that it had decades ago.
The reason everything is being overrun by troons is because the fans of the original stuff that you liked 10 years ago are the same troons you hate now, all it takes for someone to troon out is to have autism and watch porn.
Anon, I'm a man with high functioning autism who's watched more than his fair share of computer porn and yet I've never felt compelled to start taking HRT and chop my dick off. Also, a lot of the troons often times tend to be tourists who didn't give a rat fuck about the IP until it was "popular".
High functioning is the difference maker here, there's no high functioning troon out there
Knew it was never going to actually go anywhere. These fan projects never fucking learn that rule number one is dont go public until you're ready to release the finished product.
i just want reprints of the masks
Move along
Troons learned that you can just claim you were DMCA'd to make it easier to take the money and run. It was blatantly obvious from the murder that they never had any intention of actually releasing a full game.
Why can't every western dev be like the stardew valley guy?
You just know he has a basement full of dead hookers
here's your bionicle bro
You're in luck then. 3rd parties have been knocking out injection molded masks (so none of that 3d printed shit) that are damn near 1:1.
grow up with Bionicle while surviving a horrible household from my birthday in 1999 all the way up until it ended
didn’t get to hear all the music during the original run
be 25 now, dealing with existential problems and still trying to recover from being one of the worst abuse cases in recent American history with absolutely no recognition or sympathy from anyone
feeling ill all the time, walking exhaustedly through a major city, waiting to get to nerd conventions that have been hurt by normalfags and trying to suppress anxiety and terror just keeping myself busy
recently dive into the entire Bionicle soundtrack
huh, what are these two songs
a band called ‘All Insane Kids’? jeez…
listen to this song called ‘Hero’
As you’re on your way back home
Something catches your eyes, untold
Fear of darkness lingers here
You tremble as you get the fear
You’re walking down that well-worn road
Something’s changed, but who would know
The smile you get is poisoned well
The color you once knew is killed
And as you realize what’s wrong
The ground beneath your feet is gone
The enemy looks in your eyes
Now it’s time to make it right
Everyone I used to know on lego forums like BZP are trans now
first ever bionicle was mctoran matoro
he became bionicle jesus
He still lives on my shelf. Trying to convince myself not to spend too much money on 25 year old toys because I really want the other 4 (I only got matoro and kongu back in the day).
Matoro was Bionicle Jesus
"He never thought he was a true Toa hero..."
"Turns out, he was the greatest of all of us!"
I think there's still plenty enough creativity, but it comes in sets that you might not find all that interesting. The house plant lego sets, for instance.
These renders are still INCREDIBLE.
another retarded fan project letting the world knows it exists before it's complete
this fucking video is going to be used 100 years from now
youtube.com
They actually were following Lego's guidelines to heart especially since Lego was very supportive of fan projects as long as they obeyed the rules
They have no idea what happened and just think the policy got changed
Work on game for 8 fucking years
Announce a demo release date in early 2024 6 months in advance
Delay it to August 2025
I know everybody online's like "Boo hoo, poor volunteers", but if you can't put something together in 8 fucking years then maybe you shouldn't be surprised that the okay to work on an IP doesn't last forever. Seriously how the fuck does a demo's release date get pushed back a year and a half?
they were following lego's guidelines
and none of this matters because the corporation can decide at any moment to shit can your project. Literally all they had to do was shut the fuck up make the game release it.
I only glance at the vtuber community for the porn. What is all the hate for Kirsche other that she's not left of center?
Kind of hard to do that unless you're making 2d pixelshit because you'll need manpower.
announce you're looking for people for a fan game
show absolutely nothing
after getting enough people announce the games canned and development is no longer being made nor will it
release it when it's ready and enjoy the game
this shit isn't difficult
Would you all mind if I storytimed a Bionicle comic in this thread?
Go for it, Bionicle threads are few and far between on Anon Babble
g2 was 10 years ago
I don't get what the fuck they were thinking. They were hyping it all up before the launch (events at conventions, the actual gold masks, ect) and then they just completely gave up.
DO YOU KNOOOOOW
WHAT IT TAKES TO BE A HEROOOO
take me back, goddamn it...
EVERYTIME
Does he have permission to use those vaguely Maori looking words?
Should've just adapted the Ignition trilogy. Lego's far more protective of Toa Mata stuff.
Yeah but that's not nostalgia wank of 2001 bionicle though!
Alas, all great things are held back by the nostalgia of millennials.
I'm not sure why the fangames are always so fixated on 2001. If you want to keep the same aesthetic, do 2002. It has more going on then "the toa go mask searching and fight some animals occasionally then confront makuta".
she's pro trump and makes edgy jokes most of the time
thats it
toa nuva meant to be the strongest toa team ever
job constantly to the piraka and almost get beaten up by the matoran too
Toa Joba.
I'm not sure why the fangames are always so fixated on 2001.
Even Bionicle G1 has genwunners.
Kirsche is fat and pretty retarded but she’s definitely not a troon
I love Bionicle so much. I still have my childhood collection and i even got a bookshelf to display all of them in my room. I have yet to see another IP that captured my imagination like Bionicle.
youtube.com
claws
Lego that's a fucking circular saw.
Time for the REAL fan projects to start of the superior IPs....
*crickets chirping*
why has Bionicle started to attract trans people, or, alternatively, why have communist activists found success in framing Bionicle as a fandom that contains a notable number of trans people in order to astroturf it? What about the series appeals to them? Is it the:
Autism, the answer is always autism.
Not all trans are autists, but autists are more likely to be trans than the average joe. I mean, c'mon man, fuckin adult into LEGO? Likely autism.
Why are there so many trans into Nintendo?
Autism
Programming?
Autism
Fallout New Vegas?
Autism
Undertale?
Autism
It's kind of funny how Bohrok get jerked off so much then they go "no, toa will fight the robot scorpion! not swarms of bohrok!".
I grew up on bionicles and I still think they're cool and all but goddamn are bionicle fans fucking insufferable
only lego fans I hate more are the lego star wars ones because it's the immovable force (people embarrassing enough to unironically use the term AFOL) combined with the unstoppable object (disney adults)
Like any other modern smear compaign. "They" label you as a Nazi because they don't like your politics
Normalfags should never have been given internet access. They clearly are subhuman and incapable of withstanding deluges of raw data.
logs into the internet once
cuts off own penis
Normalniggers, not once. The silver lining is that this is a one-generation thing. We just need to accelerate the trooning to as many susceptible people as possible, and then there will never be any more troons because all the weak genes susceptible to infohazards will have been burned out in the span of 20 years.
Still need to deport 100 million people from the USA tho.
Okay, and are these "boomers" in the room with us right now?
Eight years down the shitter
I'd probably just rope myself tee bee haitch
Why was a trans-trender head writer for a game based off of an old property aimed at children?
Doesn't sound to strange considering the state of nu-Lego.
Sorry, we needed your budget.
and we your building system and shelf space
The General Grievous CCBS set was pretty cool ngl, the rest ranged from not bad to WTF IS THIS SHIT?!
Holy BASED! My interest in this immediately vanished the moment it was co-opted by trannyism.
Get fucked.
yes I hate the jews (and minorities in general) and want a white ethnostate but DON'T YOU DARE CALL ME A NAZI
i'm sorry you didn't invent the autobahn i guess
Iirc there actually were other types of female Matoran, the rarely-mentioned Vo-Matoran and Ce-Matoran.
Ce-Matoran were funny because they're only female because the first one was a male and he acted like a tard so the Great Beings decided that making the rest more "docile" was better.
Av-Matoran were also capable of being female like Gavla.
Extremely funny because Lego almost went bankrupt when the prequel trilogy ended and interest in star wars dropped combined with the financial crisis.
Now again they are the best selling Star Wars toys.
They didn't have a problem with that rock raiders remake either.
The droids and fully armoured were the best. It got canned just before we go pic related too.
Seeing the G2 art always hurts because it's so good and the rest of the team just gave up or had their budget taken away or something.
Like, who is this shadow Kopaka?
Is there an actual god bionicle game?
Almost certainly this
MNOG.
I enjoyed the GBA one.
Trannies are both a symptom and a vector of cultural degeneration, and naturally move to fill a vacuum created when corporations pretend that a fandom is larger than it actually is. Any community that builds naturally around something supports a certain level of natural hierarchy, as the natural complexity of the exponentially increasing inter-group relationships with each new member necessarily require at first organization and direction and then the formation of a leadership hierarchy to direct people's attention forward rather than across. However, corporations attempting to emulate successful fan communities build this backward, seeking to form first a stable ruling hierarchy controlled by their own shills and then hoping the dense community naturally fills itself in. And for these shills, because corporations are obsessed with their bottom line, they seek to reduce costs as much as possible - so why bother paying for focused mercenaries who are simply in it for the money and will follow the corporate word to the letter, when they can hire deranged ideologues who simply seek any position of power and are willing to do it for free because their actual goal is to push their own ideological agenda? All that matters is that free shills are cheaper than paid shills, and if the community collapses then thats someone else's fault.
There are two types of bionicle autism
trannies
and
fat fetish roodaka
More that its easier to pretend you got DMCA'd than it is to admit you have been taking patreon money for a decade with no intent to ever actually complete a playable game.
At the rate Nintendo is suing for stock Havok engine utilities there will be only one remaining fangame record holder.
the original stuff that you liked 10 years ago
there is a clean venn diagram of two distinct circles with 0 overlap, between the people who were fans of bionicles when lego was making bionicles and people who became fans of youtube videos talking about CRAZY bionicle SECRET LORE that YOU WOULDNT BELIEVE
why do they all care? its free just release it.
So glad I don't know anything about that shit, especially the latter, and just liked the toys as a kid and think it's a shame the line is dead after saving them from bankruptcy in the past.
I owned the giant sea monster thing
Here anon, let me fix that for you.
fat fetish roodaka
I thought the Bionicle community sperged out over how feminine the 2005 Roodaka set was made to look?
Yeah I'll be filtering after seeing the filename before even hovering it.
She’s a (presumably fat) Bostonian chick who’s had several (formerly closet gay) boyfriends.
Maybe some did. Others felt their pp tingle and 10 years later started connecting the dots.
won't look into the abyss
Pussy
Fucking this, nobody but autismos care about bionicles that deeply 15 fucking years after the series died
Think about it, at this point bionicle has been dead longer than it has been alive, everyone normal has long since moved on
Where do the sheltered Christian kids fit in?
we went back to the past because the current shit sucks ass
I'm normally into this shit but Bionicle is the one exception for some reason. Maybe it's because the characters design is mostly exposed gears, ball-joints, and pistons so any attempt to make them fat makes them look "too far" off-model, if that makes any sense.
Oh god, it gets worse the further you scroll down. No wonder the TTV gang ended their podcast series last week. Even Bionicle isn't safe from the unbridled autism that is Anon Babble. On that note, I'm going to bed, it's been an honor discussing bonkles on Anon Babble this evening gentlemen!
why are autistic (who happen to make up the majority of trannies) manchildren obsessed with media from their childhood
Shouldn’t be surprising for anyone at this point.
I honestly only use the term AFOL derogatorily with a friend who's even bigger Lego fan than me
Wtf this is bullsh-
Nevermind HOLY BASED leGODS I kneel
Aren't Bionicles literally never ever because Lego got rid of the parts molds for them?
Thankfully I grew up with Hero Factory. Lmao.
grew up with Hero Factory
You need to be 18+ to post here.
They don't hate Bionicle
It's just that Bionicle is so far divorced from their business model that bringing it back would be a net negative.
All the molds are gone
It's a double-edged sword
A lot of Lego's bolder moves from around the time of Bionicle were done out of desperation and just didn't work
Hero Factor is almost 15 years old
What would even G3 be? CCBS/constraction is dead too.
SCCBS with minifigures
Human sidekicks
Those Ninjago mechs.
Maybe something like Exo-force or Nexo Knights.
lots and lots of these
:^)
marketing for a toy
GSR face on the telescope 8 years before anyone knew what the fuck that was
BEWARE THE SWARM
customizable bionicle fortnite skins
oh no my wallet
I am going to be fair. Given that past fan works with Lego have been okay, and that the community up to this point has mostly been operating in good faith to get their blessing, I wouldn't say that they had a good reason to keep it under wraps but it seems like corporations don't give a damn and will burn the goodwill and faith of their fans and consumers because they want brainless zombies and not sophisticated enthusiasts as their customers.
hear about this shit when i wake up
pissed about lego going back on their approval and fucking over bionicle fans AGAIN when they refuse to do anything with it
come over to Anon Babble to see how everyone else feels
3/4s of the thread is talking about trannies and vtubers
How the fuck are retards still getting their stuff taken down? Just use the bare minimum opsec
group cant make a fangame after 8 years
1 (one) guy remakes all of rock raiders in like 2 years
he also gets hired to work at LEGO
like always, group projects are shit.
based GALIDOR remeberer
Business as usual, unfortunately
In this case they had the blessing from the company itself, but they took nearly a decade and company walked back on their blessing.
She's obsessed with the culture war which makes her obnoxious by default
Yes, the only reason this ever happens is because there's an imminent release. However in this case it might just be Bionicle action figures.
skimming the thread, the creator got involved in some retarded youtuber drama so it could also be a case of lego saying youtube.com
