I have a few more than that. From last year, I have Corroder, Thunder, Rotor, Breeze, and Stringer. From this year, I have Surge 2.0 and Nex 2.0. My favorite Villain is probably Rotor, but I can't decide between the heroes. I'm hoping to pick up Jetbug soon though, so my 2.0s have someone to fight.

Bionicle definitely boasts a better story. Hero Factory's, in my humble opinion, is rather simplistic and sometimes a little too stereotypical -- but then again, it's meant for slightly younger readers, so I can understand the difference.

Frankly, comparing Bionicle to Hero Factory is like comparing a boy to a man.

Frankly, comparing Hero Factory to Bionicle is like comparing something that we can't understand because we're too old to something that we shouldn't understand because we're too old but we still do because we're obsessed.

 

Bionicle's quality is seriously blown out of proportion.

True. BIONICLE did have a lot of flaws and I can think of several stories that are superior to it. I just prefer it over HF, although I guess it is pretty strange for me to compare Hero Factory - which has only been around for a year and a half - to BIONICLE, which has had ten years. Upon retrospect I really shouldn't have done that.

I personally can think of a lot.

 

BIONICLE, upon retrospect, was just okay, no more.

 

Of course, it's impressive how a toyline managed to pull off such an awesomely convoluted (what I consider a good thing, the synonym of "realistic" in literature,) mythology, but despite all that every fanatic on this site would say, a true fan isn't blind, and no, not all fans are true fans. BIONICLE had lots of cliches to begin with (2003 - one big ripoff of LotR), and lots of plotholes to end with.

 

The only positive part in this situation was that the plotholes would be patched up, but then the problem would arise that with every plothole a new plot, started by the plothole's patching up, would arise.

 

Ultimately, this mess led to the fact that BIONICLE was convoluted - what, also, means "realistic", but also, it meant that Bionicle had become secluded, and ultimately the reason a lot of the people who hated it to begin with (and yes, any fanatics who might be reading this, such people exist, and arguably rival the number of fans) - those guys who were screaming, "Finally!" when Bionicle ended, - the reason for their hate was the almost "cultist" status of BIONICLE, where to join into the "faith" of BIONICLE, you had to read ten years of storyline and then a few serials on the side. So, like I said, or at least, intended to, while the convoluted story gave realism, it also set BIONICLE apart - in a bad way.

 

And, of course, a lot of AFOLs detested it for being a drift-away from the original LEGO.
