  • Line as in quote? "I have 1000 ways to kill you, and 941 of them hurt." Ooh, controversial. 

Worst or most boring? Vezon turned painfully obnoxious, and I have no love for Tren Krom either. 

2011, where Bionicle wasn't even allowed to end with a whimper. 2005 for a full one. 

I'm going to struggle to choose a single set in particular, so I'll just say the first one that comes to my head and be done with it. Hewkii Mahri.

The Mistika, but solely in regards to its canister sets. The larger boxed sets were decent-to-amazing. 

Brothers in Arms was particularly irritating.

To introduce alternate universes.

Worst line in G1 BIONICLE?


"The final battle is about to begin." Ha ha that was not the final battle.


 


Worst character(s)?


I honestly have no idea. I love them all. *hugs Bionicle characters*


 


Maybe Tahu?


 


Worst year?


2009. I am not posting that rant again. 


Worst set?


The one I didn't get. Which is a lot of them.


Worst wave of sets?


2008, because I didn't get any of them nooo. 


Worst serial?


The Powers that Be. Red Star CLIFFHANGER WHY.


Worst idea?


Bara Magna 2009. 


Worst thing-of-your-choosing?


GIANT ROBOTS. 40 MILLION FOOT TALL GIANT ROBOTS. ACCEPT NO SUBSTITUTES.

  • Worst line in G1 BIONICLE?  I don't recall many of them. I suppose the one where Vultraz referenced The Wizard of Oz.

  • Worst character(s)? I never liked Sidorak. Thanks, Keetongu!

Worst year? I'm not counting 2010 or later, since those were special circumstances. My least favorite has always been 2005. I hate forced conflict among the heroes, and hordika venom is essentially that in liquid form.

Worst set? Since I can only honestly judge the ones that I own, I'd say Phantoka Lewa. I really only bought him for his character.

Worst wave of sets? Once again, I can only dish on the ones that I bought from, but I'd say 2008. The toa that year were just plain ugly, and continued the stale Inika build. At least the villains kept up the Barraki's more unique builds and appearances. And the vehicles beat out playsets by a mile. I would say 2006 for that reason, but I can't blame 2006 for overusing Inika builds because back then they were actually novel.

Worst serial? I'm only going to focus on ones that actually finished, so I'd say Brothers In Arms. But the only reason I say that is because I didn't care much for Mazeka and Vultraz and because I only remember the good serials for the most part. I barely remember Brothers In Arms.

Worst idea? Take your pick from a grab-bag of all those introduced during the last two years. Granted, I like some, even the controversial psionics element. But I think much of it was unnecessary.

Worst thing-of-your-choosing? Bullheaded fans who find excuses to argue--not discuss--everything, even if all they've seen is a promo image. But that's not unique to BIONICLE by any means.​

    "Brothers, we thought we lost you." The voice acting on this line was so horrendous it nearly ruined the entire movie for me. It definitely ruined Gali for me for a long time. 

  • Worst character(s)?

    Sidorak was obnoxious... but Tuma was worse. 

  • Worst year?

    2008. I literally had 0... 'cares' about what happened that year... the story was superfluous and the sets were horrid.

  • Worst set?

    Bitil. Ugggghhhh

  • Worst wave of sets?

    2008 Toa. Firstly because they came separately as apparently two different things? I don't know the difference and I don't want to know. Secondly because they had such an awesome chance to bring back the originals in a great and respectful way (like they did in many ways for G2) and they just puked silvery unrelated carelessness all over it. And gave a stupid reason for the new look, on top of it. "did we forget to mention five years ago that they can shapeshift? what, that doesn't make sense? oh well, now it's a thing."

  • Worst serial?

    I didn't read them. :v Well, I read the one that was single-image illustrations with text, but I liked it.

  • Worst idea?

    Mata Nui isn't a great spirit, but a big robot. 

  • Worst thing-of-your-choosing?

    How about second-worst idea after my answer to #7: Makuta is a species - the one you know's name is Teridax and most of the others are just sort of 'meh' enemies.

...But the Toa Nuva can't shapeshift... that was Adaptive Armour, made for them at the end of 2007 by Artakha. Not sure how you go about 'respectfully' bringing back a toy, either...
