future Bionicle waves

I have an uncle who works at Lego, and he told me that the Bohrok will return in the second half of 2016.

The swarms are unleashed upon Okoto, and the only way to stop them is for the Toa to hunt down the Mask of Control.

The Bohrok don’t have names like Gahlok, Tanok, etc. They’re just called [Element] Bohrok.

While the Bohrok still keep their spherical design, they have slightly different builds depending on their element.

Earth Bohrok are bulky and have spiky crystal add-ons, while Jungle Bohrok are slim with leaf-shaped bits.

Water Bohrok have fin pieces, Fire Bohrok have flame-like armor, and Ice and Stone Bohrok have the same crystal bits as Earth.

Krana return as the “brain” of the Bohrok, but they’re shaped more like Kraata this time. They’re made out of a translucent rubbery plastic similar to the HF brains. And indeed, they’re usually called “krana slugs” or just slugs.

No collectible slugs this time, but there will be a promotional polybag featuring them in exclusive colors just like the Skull Spider polybags.

There’s also a Bohrok Queen titan set (just one this time) called the Queen of the Swarm. She has a standard Bohrok head attached to a serpentine body. Similar to the Queen Beast of HF, QotS “gives birth” to krana slugs, and 4 are included with the set.

I don’t know as much about the story, but it will take a darker turn, and the animations will be increased to 3-5 minutes instead of just 2.

Lewa, surprisingly, does NOT get infected with a slug. It’s Onua this time, and the 5 remaining Toa all have to work together to save him because he’s so strong.
