About Me

Though I only joined the online community around 2012, I have fond memories of the Miramax movies and the Toa Inika from my childhood. During the later years of BIONICLE's run, my brother would relate updates on the story to me. At some time around 2007, I first used the internet, frequenting BIONICLE.com, which has made the Battle for Power very nostalgic to me. When Hero Factory came around, my investment carried over into it. However, the TTV Channel reintroduced me to BIONICLE, and soon Biosector01, where I discovered there was much more beyond what I'd known. I started reading and engaging with Greg Farshtey on the LEGO Message Boards using the account my brother had previously set up for me to play the 2009 My LEGO Network campaign, and I started reading the comics and serial stories - as well as the entirety of the Farshtey Feed on BZPower. Eventually, my brother got ahold of the novel series, which I first read through the entirety of in roughly 2015-16... ? I believe. At some point, I also played through both of the Mata Nui Online Games, prior to TTV's Let's Play of the games. My recollection of exact years may not be too accurate.

Now days, I try to go through as much BIONICLE media I can, with the intent of having seen, read, heard or otherwise experienced everything the theme and its story had to offer. However, I often end up sidetracking myself every time I discover something that I had not heard prior, sounds contradicting, or otherwise differs from my current knowledge. Combined with my more recent dislike of reading... Man, I'm never going to get through the encyclopedia, am I? Outside of BIONICLE, I am also invested in LEGO in general.

Star Wars: Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back is not an enjoyable movie.

Rules of Thumb

• Spot is real.
• While the Tiers of Canonicity can be applied generally, they are not definitive or absolute. Everything should be evaluted on its own merits in addition to its relation to the tiers.
• You cannot prove a statement was never stated anywhere—with an infinite number of sources to search, you cannot say for certain a given statement was never stated. Therefore, a statement must be treated as false unless proven otherwise.
• Context matters. Do not take statements out of their context. Do not cut out clauses from sentences, doing so changes their meaning. In regards to Q&As: Mind what the question asked is.
• You never know what could be a misconception. Try to take an unbiased perspective that does not assume a conclusion on matters, see what conclusions they lead to. They might surprise you!
• Different people have different skills, therefore (in addition to granting varied perspectives) a group effort is able to more effectively examine. For instance, I don't have a good memory of the story texts, some others in the community do.
• Write everything down as stated, then examine it. Do not be too quick to examine things as you find them.
• I had another point but I forgot it.
• Being proven wrong is a good thing, it means you have learnt what is right.
• Absurdism is a healthy and fun break from serious work & discussion. Encourage it. Got a question regarding a ridiculous minute & insignificant detail? Don't ask "Does it matter," just go for it!
• No matter how many times you proofread your edit, the answer is always yes—There is a typo, and you will see it immedietly after saving. Thi sis a universal law.

Headcanons

• Spot is still real.
• Vakama was created relatively recently as of the events of 2004. This is why he knew very little about the Kanohi Dragon in Rahi Beasts, and how Turaga Dume had been the voice of wisdom for "most of his life," as stated in Dreams of Darkness. It also further explains Nuhrii's jealousy, with Vakama not only far surpassing his mentor, but also doing so relatively quickly. Likewise, so was Matau, who'd been riding chutes his entire life -- though he may be older than Vakama.
• The Heat Vision Rahkshi are called Zirahk, like originally suggested.
• The various non-canon Rahkshi combiner models, as well as the 2006 QUICK Bad Guy polybags, are specialized Rahkshi armor, modified or entirely separately engineered from usual Rahkshi shells, similar to Kraata-Kal's armor, the Stars Rahkshi, or the Rahkshi of the Kingdom alternate universe.
• The Element Lord of Sand was female.
• The events of the 2005 story year took place in 1978, Toa Hordika are half-Toa, half-non-fat milk, and Rahaga are baby Rahkshi.
• Nidhiki looks like Toa Iruini, but with silver armor rather than gold, a scythe, and the Kanohi Volitak as depicted in the Mazeka set (albeit in green).
• The Mata Nui robot is only 3 300 kilometers tall, not 40 000 000 feet, as stated in concept art. This better matches up with the size depicted in both The Rising and The Legend Reborn.
• With a variety of adjustments, the Lesovikk's Hiatus, A Thousand Years Untold 2 & Memoirs of the Dead stories are canon.
• The Exo-Raptors were an experimental vehicle invented by the Nynrah Ghosts, ordered by the Brotherhood of Makuta. However, in favor of the Exo-Toa, they were ultimately not mass-produced. The Exo-Raptors could seat a Toa or Toa-like being, reach high speeds, and perform long leaps. Their legs could easily navigate different types of terrain.
• The Bahrag Spider is a unique, one-of-a-kind Rahi created by the Great Beings to guard the substance used to create the Bohrok-Kal. It will defend the substance from anything but the Bahrag. Makuta Teridax had to make it past this Rahi to obtain the substance before creating Kraata-Kal.
• The Boxor Walker was simply one of several variations on the Boxor design.
• The different secondary colors of the Skrall signified to which legion they belonged prior to the Shattering. For instance, all of the lime green Skrall were assigned to Tuma's legion during the Core War.
• While on Destral, Antroz would rutinely work out while listening to Linkin' Park.
• The unnamed, Huna-wearing Ga-Matoran from Quest for the Toa is Vhisola in her diminshed form.
• Kofo-Jaga grow, much like Ussal Crabs do. This is why they are described as the size of a fist in Tale of the Toa, while the one fought by Takua in Quest for the Toa is as big as him.
• The Fire Entity, Avohkah, and "Flying Snowmen" (QftT) are not proper Rahi, being more along the lines of Vatuka or the Sonic Entity. The Crystal Serpents are additionally not proper Rahi, as they are not made using viruses.
• The neon orange Kraata represents Kraata-Kal.
• Naho wore a Kanohi Huna and wielded a warhammer.
• The speech of the Matoran universe inhabitants sounds like it does in the Toa Hordika and The Mask of Light web animations from 2005, or vaguely how it sounds in BIONICLE: The Legend of Mata Nui.
• The difference between the 2004-2005 set depictions of characters, compared to 2006-2009, stems primarily from "artstyle" differences, as opposed to scale, emphazising different aspects (for instance, giving the Toa very broad shoulders or exaggerating proportional differences).
• Only Tahu, Onua, and Lewa were given proper adaptive melee-weapons (the rotating blades, multi-resistant shield, and air saber, in the forms we saw them). The Blizzard Blade is part of the adaptive armor, which further implies the scopes (and battering ram) of Gali and Onua are too part of the armor. With the Blizzard Blade being removeable and able to be used separate, Gali could potentially too adapt to have weapon(s) as part of the armor. To compensate for the lack of a melee-weapon, Gali and Kopaka were given adaptive scopes fitted onto their masks. Pohatu's melee weapons are integrated into his adaptive armor, much like his feet additions from his earlier forms.
• In her current state of mind, Helryx would never become Turaga, convincing herself that she is necessary and irreplaceable.
• Brown is part of the palette for Bo-Matoran, and in some regions, white is part of the Le-Matoran palette.
• Gali, in her Mistika form, had a back armor piece like in the set prototype.
• Gelu was given elemental ice powers by Mata Nui.
• Telluris's yellow coloring was based on the Sand Tribe, while Sahmad's orange-and-black was based on the Earth Tribe. At the time the Iron Tribe was plagued, the Sand Tribe had not necessarily been modified yet, and the Earth Tribe had not yet performed their treachery.

Common Misconceptions

• All Rahi are made by Makuta. - This can be disproven by example - The First Rahi were made by the Great Beings, the Energy Hounds were made by the Hand of Artakha, the "Kratana" were made by the Order of Mata Nui, and the Crystal Serpents were made by Artakha himself. Mata Nui also knew how to create Rahi. Additionally, it is known that the Crystal Serpents were not made using viruses, though the same quote states all Rahi are made using viruses, calling into question if Crystal Serpents are truly Rahi.
• Frostelus are Rahi. - While these were for a long time presented as Rahi on this Wiki, they have, quite the opposite, been stated to not be, and unlike Rahi, their Rhotuka powers vary per individual, and possess inner light & darkness. They are, however, on the border to being Rahi, and described as "savage". They were, however, at a later date, stated to be intelligent Rahi, but since this directly contradicts earlier statements, it is non-canon. The misconception also predates this statement.
• The Mata Nui Online Game is non-canonical. - The game is semi-canon (see below), particularily of the first type described. Non-canonical aspects include how Lewa receives his Golden Kanohi mask and the presence of wheels. However, the events are clearly referenced throughout later media, not least the subsequent two years, but also heavily in 2008, which features the return of the sundial, (retroactively) references Midak, and also utilizes the mental link forged between Gali and Takua.
• Insert semi-canon media here is non-canonical. - This is more a failure of communication in articles, but in general, the semi-canon banner means one of two things: 1. There is at least one aspect that is not canon. This may be a certain sequence, such as the Shadow Toa fight or Gavla's transformation into a Shadow Matoran, or other minor inconsistencies. 2. There is at least one aspect that is canonical, but the media itself is not. This is most applicable to games, such as the Voya Nui Online Game, where the Rahi are considered canonical.
• The Bohrok-Kal are Bohrok transformed by energized protodermis. - The Bohrok-Kal were mutated by a separate substance, which is in turn persumably made using energized protodermis. It's been stated they were made using the combination of energized protodermis and the energies of Bahrag. However, it has also later been stated that it's unknown how they were mutated, with (in-universe) speculation that they were made by distilling energy from a mutagentic substance such as Visorak venom or something similar. It is also impossible for the Kal substance to be the same as energized protodermis, as kraata exposed to energized protodermis become Rahkshi, while Kraata-Kal is something else.
• "Silver" (Known as "the drone" in HERO Factory) was intended to be Marendar. - The model was intended to be featured in the second Universal project, that much holds true. When BIONICLE was cancelled, the contract with Universal was reallocated to HERO Factory (in a sense, Rise of the Rookies is BIONICLE 5). BIONICLE was cancelled in September of 2008, before the plans for the fifth movie, and Greg Farshtey's initial draft for it, had been discussed. This script did not feature any character resembling Marender. Marendar was an original character of Greg's, inspired by Sentinels from X-Men comic books, and first introduced in The Yesteray Quest at the end of 2010, well after the cancellation of the franchise. Greg also had no idea what the contest was for, and the contest was hosted during April 2009, when the movie would have been well-cancelled.
• Marender is a mindless robot. - It was a sapient, humanoid, biomechanical being just like the Matoran and Toa. In the story, it is referred to as "it", but Marendar is used as a name; it is not referred to as "the Marendar".
• Hahli was originally known as Hali during 2001. - Hahli was not a character during 2001. She was introduced in 2002 in the Mata Nui Online Animations where she was called Hahli, presumably to set up her role for Mask of Light and the Mata Nui Online Game II. However, the spelling "Hali" did appear in an internal image file name in MaskOfLight.com's Mata Nui Explorer, though this may be a typo. The 2001 left-hand Matoran for Ga-Koro was Kotu, who ultimately did not make any significant appearance in 2001, but also featured prominently in the Mata Nui Online Animations.
• Ehlek was only slightly mutated, only gaining his spines and electrical powers. - This misconception seems to be born out of a quote stating that, compared to the other Barraki, Ehlek was less mutated on the account that his respiratory system did not change. However, this is not stating that he was less mutated in other areas. As stated in a quote prior to this, Ehlek did not look anything like he did before being mutated, and additionally, he was considered a beautiful, perfect specimen, much like the other Barraki. While he always had a similarly agile and frail build, resembling an eel and lacking in armor, this is not to say his features looked the same. He has some features that were confirmed to be caused by the mutation, namely his aforementioned spines and electrical powers. However, at no point has it been stated these were the only mutations he gained. It has been stated he possessed his mandibles prior his mutation, but this was asked with a leading question built upon this misconception.
• The Mata Nui Online Game does not distinguish light blue, teal, and sand blue. - Though hues of blue are not distinguished in the early art of Ga-Koro, later parts of the game do distinguish them. The three are similar, but they have different values assigned. Kopeke and Matoro use the same sand blue color. Takua used the same teal color for his mask as the Le-Matoran, which is also true for the Mata Nui Online Animations. In the Mata Nui Online Game II, Macku's light blue is reused for all the Ga-Matoran, as well as Takua and all of the blue Ko-Matoran (including Matoro, who uses sand blue in his set form). The Le-Matoran used a new (more set-accurate) teal color, but the prior one was still defined (albeit, unused) in the code under the name "sea". Sand blue did not return and was not defined in the code of the Mata Nui Online Game II.
• The Brotherhood of Makuta massacred Fa/Fe-Matoran. - The Brotherhood of Makuta hunted down Toa of Magnetism & Iron, but not Matoran. They kept a close eye on Matoran populations in case they'd be transformed into Toa. It is true the Brotherhood executed some Nynrah Ghosts, but only a select few, for unrelated circumstances such as sabotaging the Fohrok. Additionally, the Nynrah Ghosts are also no where near being all of the Fe-Matoran.
• "Mata Green" has been replaced by "Bright Green". - Mata Green is still in use and there is no indication that it is going anywhere. As one of LEGO's oldest colors, and a core one at that, it is highly unlikely that it ever will be retired, as even considered a "Locked Color" in 2004 (though this concept may since have been abolished). Additionally, Bright Green is not a recent addition, and has been in use since the 1990's. However, it became far more common in the 2010's, which subsequently diminished some use cases of Mata Green. The use of Bright Green for Generation 2 was merely a set design choice.
• Wheels within the Matoran universe aren't canon. / Avak invented wheels. - As early as 2003, Greg Farshtey has stated that the Matoran do not use wheels, being one of the "rules of BIONICLE" given by the head of story team - Bob Thompson. Though carts appearing in the Mata Nui Online Game are depicted with wheels, this is considered non-canonical, and at least on Metru Nui, Ussal Carts had legs, much like Vahki transports. The 2006 set 8894 Piraka Stronghold officially introduced the first wheeled vehicles to BIONICLE, which was a conscious decision the set designers were aware of. Like any other sets, the playsets are considered canonical. Greg Farshtey clarified in 2006 that while wheels were not found on the islands of Mata Nui and Metru Nui, there were used on the Southern Continent - and by extension, Voya Nui. However, when Jaller encounters Umbra, he is confused by the being's wheeled feet, even though he should already be familiar with the chariot from the playset, as well as Rahi with wheels (which are canonical). While Avak did invent the Destral Cycle, it has never been stated that he invented the wheel - this rumor likely started as joke under the false impression that the Destral Cycle was the first and only canonical appearance of wheels in the Matoran universe (aside from Umbra).

Glitter Colors

These are colors with a glitter addative. Typically, these are transparent colors. However, the ones used in BIONICLE have been opaque ones, though these often end up slightly translucent, possibly due to mixing with a floater used for the additive.

Color	ID	Name	Bricklink	Usual BS01 Name	In Media (if different)	Casual Names	Notes
	286	White with Glitter					Lids of some 8606 Toa Nuju
	287	Earth Green with Glitter					Lids of some 8605 Toa Matau
	288	Earth Blue with Glitter					Lids of some 8602 Toa Nokama
	289	Dark Red with Glitter					Lids of some 8601 Toa Vakama
	290	Brown with Glitter					Lids of some 8604 Toa Onewa
	291	Black with Glitter					Lids of some 8603 Toa Whenua There is also an older ID, 132, which is an effectively identical color.

Ink Colors

These are colors that are used exclusively in decorations, such as printing, stickers, or full coatings. For a long time, these were not assigned IDs, and as such, many older ink colors still do not have IDs.

In addition to these colors, opaque colors are also used for printing. Transparent colors, however, are not. Aforementioned metallic colors were occasionally used prior to 2006 in select themes such as Little Robots, instead of the usual metallic ink colors. More complex prints (such as instruction manuals) may be accomplished using CMYK "process" colors - 359 Process White, 429 Process Yellow, 439 Process Magenta, and (454 or 459) Process Cyan and 489 Process Black.

Color	ID	Name	Bricklink	Usual BS01 Name	In Media (if different)	Casual Names	Notes
	309	Metalized Silver	Chrome Silver	Chrome Silver	Silver		Chrome silver coating. ID first introduced around 2009. Merged under 336 Silver Ink around 2014. Both the Chrome Silver Hau from 8546 PowerPack and Chrome Silver Krana-Kal are 2 Grey beneath the coating. The Chrome Silver Hau uses color ID 0 (undefined) in LEGO's database
	298	Cool Silver, Drum Lacquered	Metallic Silver				Metallic silver coating. ID first introduced in 2006. Merged under 336 Silver Ink around 2014. Technical panels in 8538 Muaka & Kane-ra, which use color ID 131 in LEGO's database
	299	Warm Gold, Drum Lacquered	Metallic Gold				Metallic gold coating. ID first introduced in 2006. Merged under 335 Gold Ink around 2014. Technical panels in prototype of 8539 Manas
	334	Copper Ink	Metallic Copper				Metallic copper printing. Replaced 300 Copper, Drum Lacquered and 306 Copper, Diffuse around 2014. Printing in 70795 Mask Maker vs. Skull Grinder
	335	Gold Ink	Metallic Gold				Metallic gold printing and coating, sometimes chrome gold coating. Replaced 299 Warm Gold, Drum Lacquered, 305 Warm Gold, Diffuse, and 310 Metalized Gold around 2014. Printing found in G2 sets
	336	Silver Ink	Metallic Silver				Metallic silver printing and coating, sometimes chrome silver coating. Replaced 298 Cool Silver, Drum Lacquered, 304 Cool Silver, Diffuse, and 309 Metalized Silver around 2014. Printing found in G2 sets
	337	Titanium Ink					ID first introduced around 2014. Possibly printing in 70791 Skull Warrior and other G2 sets; difficult to identify

Several other ink colors have been used in BIONICLE:

• The prints found on the Kanoka disks rarely line up with regular colors.
• The Infected Hau from 2001 is a black Hau, with a gunmetal grey coating (possibly 148), and hand-painted dark orange spots. The coating may be a primer for the paint.
• The glitter Avohkii from 8596 Takanuva is a 40 Transparent Avohkii with a golden glitter coating (as opposed to the glitter in ingrained in the plastic, like regular glitter LEGO parts).
• The Piraka skull piece features a glow-in-the-dark ink applied on the teeth. This is not visible under normal lighting conditions.
• The Vacuum Metal Krana-Kal are 2 Grey coated using a vacuum-metalization process. Notably, these did not use the rubber material of typical Krana.

Non-standard Materials

• The Sterling Silver Krana-Kal and Kanoka
• The White Metal Krana-Kal
• The Platinum Avohkii
• The 14-karat Gold Hau, Kanoka, and 2015 masks
• Any electronic components

Zamor Spheres

The Zamor Spheres, Sea Squids, and Shadow Leeches included with the Piraka, Toa Inika, Barraki, and Phantoka Makuta are "Multicombination," co-injected/marbled colors. As such, they may be different mixtures of two colors, with some being evenly mixed, others having distinct sections of two colors, and others still being entirely one color. As evidenced by the numbering present on the Sea Squids, this does not appear to correlate to their position in the mold for these select parts.

• The Piraka use 44 Transparent Yellow and 28 Dark Green. Also used in 2006 Playsets and Exo-Force. Element ID 4296080.
• 8729 Toa Nuparu and 8730 Toa Hewkii use 44 Transparent Yellow and 21 Bright Red. Also used in 2007 Playsets & Small Sets, and Exo-Force. Element ID 4297030.
• 8731 Toa Kongu and 8732 Toa Matoro use 42 Transparent Light Blue and 23 Bright Blue. Also used in 2006 Playsets, Mars Mission's MT-101, Chima, and four different 2010-2011 sets. Element IDs 4297031 (2007), 4296577 (2006), 4585759 (2010), 6024162 (2013).
• 8727 Toa Jaller and 8728 Toa Hahli use 28 Dark Green and most likely 40 Transparent or 20 Nature; the difference is inconsequential. Also used in 2010 Hero Factory villains. Element IDs 4297034 (2006), 4583979 (2010).
• The Sea Squids included in most sets are 44 Transparent Yellow and 41 Transparent Red. Element ID 4500092 (Barraki, 8922 Gadunka, 8926 Toa Undersea Attack) & 4511873 (remaining playsets, 6946 "Squid Launcher Function", 8935 Nocturn, 8940 Karzahni).
• The Sea Squids included in 8934 Squid Ammo are 42 Transparent Light Blue and 48 Transparent Green. Element ID 4500322. This combination was also used for Shadow Leeches in 2008. Element ID 4518505 (& 4519505?).
