Slowly but surely building out my full Order of Mata Nui collection.

My remaining checklist is as follows:

1. Get the remaining pieces for Tobduk

2. Get the remaining pieces for Krakua

3. Think about how only Johmak specifically is entirely absent

4. Cry

5. Take solace in the fact that I already own Jerbraz

some Very Peculiar Lads

some notes :) bc im proud of these hehe

That's of course not Krahka's actual appearance :)

She stole traits from all the Metru! Her hair is most obvious since she has all of their styles at once (short, braid, twist, ponytail, buzzcut) but she also has Matau's large mouth, Whenua's nose, and Nokama's lips

She also has cheetah-like "tear" marks, a long neck and long ears to make her a lil bit less human

Akamai and Wairuha share respectively Tahu/Lewa's face shape, Onua/Kopaka's hair texture, and Pohatu/Gali's hairstyle

The Ignika forgot living beings have a face. whoops

Maxilos, on the other hand, is a robot! He don't got a real face!

Nektann has seen some battles. Maybe more than a few. His hair got thinned from stress and it will get thinner after Tahu beats his ass into the sands of Bara Magna

Irnakk has no scars because I concluded that the one thing that would make a Skakdi shake uncontrollably in fear would be the image of a clearly veteran but pristine warrior, skin completely unmarred by wounds - which means that nobody ever managed to lay a finger on them before dying by their hand

He's also the only character whose hair isn't colored! For the golden spine and face he has

Umbra came to me in a vision. I don't know why he looks like that

Akamai, Wairuha, Irnakk and Umbra's eyes lack pupils to emphasize that they are not fully "natural"

He's Always Been Dead

So... I have a completely uncanonical idea for Bionicle I'm turning over in my head.

What if Mata Nui was a title more than a person? Like "the Great Spirit" sounds more like a title than a name, right? What if the use of the Ignika was less like an electric paddle--because the Great Spirit was always already dead?

Basically, in this alternate story, the original Mata Nui (the spirit controlling the GSR) died as the result of the Great Disruption. The sacrifice of Jovan's teammate wasn't to die but to become the next Great Spirit. This is why it's necessary for wearer of the Ignika to "die": they become the next Mata Nui.

The Great Spirit who falls asleep at in the Cataclysm isn't the first Great Spirit--and it might not have been the second. Perhaps, after Jovan's teammate also died, the Ignika was next worn by a Makuta, sacrificing himself as nobly as the Toa before him had, but this left enough clues that--for the first time--someone pieced together that it wasn't the same Great Spirit reawakened, but the Makuta in an elevated position.

Naturally, it's Teridax who figures this out, explaining both where his ambition to "become" the GSR comes from and why he calls the sleeping Mata Nui his brother. Sleep spares him the pain--of betrayal.

Teridax's plan is to be the one to wear the Ignika, but after that whole "Takutanuva" thing, he no longer has a body to wear it. His backup plan may originally have been to try wearing the Ignika while inhabiting the Maxilos robot, but either he realised that wouldn't work (maybe he tried, before the Mahri got there), or he found a backup plan.

The being subsumed by the Ignika to become the next GSR would lose a lot of their memory and self (it is, after all, a sacrifice--and the truth of what happens wasn't know until a Makuta--a being of greater innate power than a Toa--did it), which Teridax wasn't keen on, and after being subsumed, the Ignika still had to be taken to the Codrex to upload the new Mata Nui. Teridax saw his opportunity to avoid the obliteration of his self and in his disembodied state had the perfect opportunity to slip in ahead of the new Mata Nui when the Ignika arrived in the Codrex and started the upload process, taking control of the GSR as the new Mata Nui while circumventing the loss of self supposed to go with it.

What this means, of course, is that the "Mata Nui" of 2009-10 is actually Matoro. And perhaps, after having had a Makuta as the last Mata Nui, the Ignika didn't obliterate everything that had made Matoro himself, and when he incarnates on Bara Magna, he begins to remember who he was and what has happened to him.

This is, of course, a transparent alternate reality that allows Matoro to survive. But it also sheds a little light on Teridax and his "brother"--and maybe on Teridax's destiny: he was supposed to become Mata Nui, but he was supposed to yield to his destiny and surrender himself, rather than to grasp for it.

WAIT BONCELS ARENT ROBOTS?!?!! but they look like 3 or 4 times more mechanical that all of the other robot toys I have

yeah in canon they have organs and whatnot. in the movies you can see muscles and stuff. the only bionicle sets that were ACTUALLY robots were exo toa, vahki, and maxilos (i can only think of those right now tbh)

[teelguy]

also finally got around to anime teridax

which version of teridax? all of em

Ya boy has been gettin' real lucky with Value Village lately. Guess who found an almost complete Nidhiki just over a week ago and an almost complete Maxilos just yesterday?

#bionicle #second-hand bionicle collecting #i already had nidhiki #but maxilos is brand new baby #technically he wasn't almost complete #he was missing the entirety of spinax #plus his weapons mask and an armour piece #but i already had spinax #and the majority of the rest #so now all that he's missing is a single gunmetal metru foot

Had a weird Bionicle dream last night where all of the Titan sets I’ve ever owned came to life and were reconstructed as best as possible (ex: Brutaka and 2008 Takanuva looked about fully built but Hydraxon and Maxilos’ armor looked a bit skimpy) and they were like.... fighting trick-or-treaters who were coming near their toy bins??? They were their actual toy size btw, it was like some shit out of Small Soldiers or something

Anyway I woke up and my delirious first takeaway from the dream was that I thought Brutaka would sound really nice if he had a voice like George Takei
