It's really amusing to me that everyone is freaking out about this canonization stuff, mainly because this is what happened to me several years ago.

 

As someone who ended up disagreeing with new canon information during BIONICLE's initial tenure, let me assure you: the new canon is meaningless. Even if Greg Farshtey says that Toa can transform into gigantic dinosaurs and feast on souls, it would mean absolute bupkis. Why? Because the fun of BIONICLE isn't what's officially created, but what we, the fans, create.

 

I have seen beautiful creations on this site in the forms of MOCs, comics, general artwork, movies, stories, and music posted on this site for the past 11 years, and it is far more impressive than just about anything that has come out of the official storyline (although, Time Trap is the best thing Greg ever contributed to the actual canon, and there's no way I can knock it). You want a story where Vo-Matoran, -Toa, and -Turaga are male? Or have no set gender? Go for it. There's a headcanon floating around about a transgender Tamaru, there were comics featuring the only male Ga-Matoran, and there were epics that featured Toa, Matoran, and Turaga of Muffins. Do you think Muffins would ever be canonized as a for reals element? Who cares?! It made for far more interesting plots and ideas than a Toa of the Green who has only ever been hinted at and never seen in action!

 

Part of the fun of writing my epics – How I Became Me and The Inventor of Metru Nui (which I hope to work on again at some point, I swears!) – was twisting one part of the canon while leaving the rest be. Trying to get my OC to fit into the BIONICLE universe was fun, and when it was announced that Vo-Matoran are female (and blue, what's with that? If you've played Pokémon, you know that electricity is yellow bar a few minor deviations :P), I didn't budge because I didn't have to.

 

So have fun making mountains out of molehills, BZbloggers. I'm going to sit over here, lean back, and enjoy my bowl of popcorn whilst I watch the fireworks. Because I'm just that nice a guy. 8D

See, instead of getting involved in comments, I should have done this. Congrats, bro, you have out-Tekulo'd Tekulo.

 

ALL OF MY WILDEST DREAMS ARE COMING TRUE…I THINK!!

 

Minor quibble, it's transgender, not transgendered. Adjective, not a verb.

 

Crackles! Fixed now.

All of which – except Zekrom and Thundurus – have yellow as part of their color scheme in some way. :P I'm sticking to my guns on this one!

 

@blade: don't forget kecleon, ditto, and the greninja line!

^ Porygon too, I guess. xP Unless I'm recalling COnversion/2 wrong. >>'

Okay, if your type is fluid, I don't think it counts. :P

Those were mine! And they were animations! Whooo! Akano remembers my stuff!

The comics I was thinking of were Pak Man's (of Psycho Dogs and Carbonated Beverages), featuring Weku, but yes, you had 10?s (blue Miru-wearing Matoran?), right?

Pachirisu barely counts, it's only the cheeks. =P

 

Plus, what about Rotom? =P Or Magnemite/ton? =P
