If you had to take ONE Bionicle with you, on a long trip of a few months, which would you take with you? Why? Would it be for personal reasons, or for just the sheer love of the set?

I'm currently headed for college in a few days, and I've been thinking this question- should I at least take a small Matoran or Bohrok or something of the like, just to have a piece of my old self with me, or leave it all behind, and figure that I'd be home again by Christmas? It does seem kind of trivial, so silly, but it's just a thought for the rest of BZP.
In addition to this, when Hurricane Irene struck last August, along the east coast, many of my friends had to pick their most valued possessions while they were being swept away in mandatory island evacuations. Most of us from the old days have certainly amassed a fair share of Bionicle sets through the years, and I've wondered what would we take with us if we were in the same situation.

So, what would you take?

[Toa of the Nova Corps]

On a long trip for a few months. Hmmm...

Probably Hewkii (Inika), a Piraka or Tarix. Probably Hewkii.

[Wind Elemental]

I'll take my Tahu Mistika because I really like that set.

[Meiko]

I don't know. I probably wouldn't be able to, because all my Bionicle sets are in pieces.

I guess I'd just bring something small... maybe a Matoran of some sort.

[Makaru]

Easily and without a doubt, My Bahraaaag.

[Takanuinuva]

If I had to choose only one bionicle set. It would have to be my revamp of Titan Mata Nui. (That was a difficult choice)

[Akuna Toa of Sonics]

Boxor, Takanuva 03, Makuta, or Muaka and Kane-Ra. I narrowed it down to my 4 favorite sets.

[Toa Of Virtues]

Maybe the Mata Nui titan/glatorian set. After all, he WAS one of the most important characters in the storyline.

[King James]

Tahu stars because he's Tahu stars.
The size is perfect since its such a small set.

[Ultimate Sybre]

2003 Kongu because he's small, cool, and fun-loving.

[Toa Smoke Monster]

Tahu Mata, since he was one of the first sets I've ever gotten. (And he's still one of my favorite sets I have too.)

[Makuta_of_Oz]

If a Bionicle set, then probably Lhikan or Jovan. I'd take Lesovikk if he wasn't cracked and brittle.

[Bambi]

Oh lord, another one of these?
Anyways, not sure. Probably Berix or Tahu Stars, something small.

[Makuta_of_Oz]

Oh lord, another one of these?
Anyways, not sure. Probably Berix or Tahu Stars, something small.

There's a difference between this thread and the "if you could only save one set in a fire" thread.

[Bulik]

A large coke, a big Mac, and small frie- wait a sec: wrong topic.

My skrall

[The Renegade Emperor]

I'd pretty much go with Toa Norik. Always loved that set.

[BobaFett2]

Vezon and Kardas because I could rebuild it into Fezon and Fenrak, Axonn, and Brutaka. Or into other guys.

[SmoothJazz]

Definitely the Bahrag, even if they weren't my only assembled set.

[Bambi]

Oh lord, another one of these?
Anyways, not sure. Probably Berix or Tahu Stars, something small.

There's a difference between this thread and the "if you could only save one set in a fire" thread.

But they're all essentially the same thing.

[Nick Silverpen]

Are they? I would think fire would mean grab one if you didn't have a choice, but this here is which would you be willing to take if you HAD the choice, like which one means the most to take away with you.

I'm not really sure what I want to take to college with me, whether it be a Matoran 01/03/04/06, or a Bohrok or even a smaller 2001 Toa or something. It seems trivial, but I'm like "I have to focus on studies, but I want a piece of me in my dorm. But what Bionicle fits what I want to bring?"

[Starparu]

If it is an official Set, A tie between Tahu Star and Tahu Mata. If a MoC, I'd bring my self MOC, a Tie between my Toa and Matoran form.

-Star

[Liopleurodon]

Tie between Lewa Mata, Tarakava, Muaka & Kane-Ra, Lehrahk, Toa Norik, and Keelerak.

Lewa Mata since it was my first Bionicle set; Tarakava/Muaka & Kane-Ra because they're just so frigging cool . Lehrahk since he was one of my favorite Christmas presents I've gotten, Toa Norik since I got him on a special trip in another country, and Keelerak since he was a special present my uncle gave me.

[Taipu1]

I feel a Bohrok is small, and symbolic of the Bionicle line. Either Lehvak or Kohrak on that basis.

[Rama~Swarm]

My first infect Hau.

[Spinjitzu Master]

Hm...I always bring several...but if I could only bring one...

Oh my, this is hard. Maybe one of the Stars, a Glatorian, or one of the Mata.

[Songbird]

My Lehvak. It's small, and I wuvs it.

[Toa Of Virtues]

This would spoil who is the Great Being, don't open the spoiler tags if you want to wait for the serial.

I have to change mine to

Spoiler

Velika

since

Spoiler

he is the Great Being

Oh, yeah, that was just released today..... Spoiler tags!

[Lielac]

... Hmmm. All my sets are either crippled (Stars Takanuva's got a break in his headpiece's socket joint, Mata Nui's arm had to be amputated below the elbow due to a godawful break in the forearm piece) or in pieces and lost to the ravages of me not sorting anything ever (PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE). If I had all the sets I've ever had lined up in front of me I'd probably take Gali Nuva because she's my precious beat-up '03 bragging rights, but I have about half her pieces so... Kiina. Because she's the best off of all my sets, and one of my favorite characters anyway.

Actually no. My Mata Nui set. Because I can totally whip up an AU where him only having an arm and a half makes sense, and he's pretty well-off other than that. (And if it was take two sets I'd take them both and pose them in suspiciously shippy ways...)

[Emperor Sirius]

Either a Bohrok, Toa Mata Kopaka and Gali , or Umbra.

[Nuparu1995]

For a trip, I'd take a small one, like a Matoran set, probably Hahli, but given any choice, probably my Light-Drained Takanuva.

[Ultimate Sybre]

You know what?! Scratch 2003 Kongu! I just remembered that I like 2003 Kopeke better!

[-Jaller-]

My toa Marhi Jaller, just because he is my favorite Bionicle

[Killer_Myr]

Lehvak Kal.

[Click]

Definitely a Bohrok (for playability) or something small with tons of pieces, like a Va, 03 Matoran, or something, just so I could fit it in my pocket and still dismantle it and rebuild it a ton of times during the trip.

If I could take a MOC, probably one of my Matoran MOCs, for the same reason as above.

[Overmegasixwave]

XPlode. Small enough for a trip, but still a really cool set. If it has to be Bionicle, then Strakk or Zaktan, perhaps.

[Toa Fuffuloo]

El crappo... I hadn't thought about this.... I'm going to college too (in a few months), and I have to leave them behind? Dang...

For college, probably my Pahrak, because it was my first set ever, and means the most to me. And it's awesome.

But in general, maybe Nidhiki. He is probably my favorite all-around. Again, because he's awesome.

[Erebus]

I would take my Toa Ignika set because of how cool it is. I really like the mask design. Sheer love indeed.

[ankyfdarkness]

2003 Makuta, Pridak, Zaktan, or Brutaka. I think if I had to choose it'd be Makuta.

That guy is just a cool set.

[Cederak]

For set purposes, I would take Umbra. The world is a crazy place and you never know what sort of enemies you'll make who might have an epileptic reaction to his blade lights before they try to harm you.

For personal reasons, I would take Toa Lhikan because he's a cool looking set and the guy was a war hero.

-Ced

[GBV]

I would take my Tarakava for sure.
