I have been watching the old character videos from 2001, and continue to be impressed with how they hold up even today. Does anyone have information on what technology they used? I know it's outdated today, but it would be interesting to know what their equipment limits were/how many people it took to animate. Just for funsies. And also, as a side note, wouldn't it be cool if the movies had been made in a set accurate style like the animations? That would be a cool project in 2020! -
And we're back! Welcome, Bionicle fans, both new and old, to the Ultimate Bionicle Storyline Reading Order for Years 2001-2010. Now first, to clarify something; this is literally every piece of relevant Bionicle Lore you will ever find. Anything that shows up here is relevant, so if you’re just looking to get the core story, and are too lazy to actually read everything, this is not the place for you. The goal of this list is to literally create the most immersive and knowledge-filled experience possible, and if you follow it, you will officially be a Bionicle Storyline Expert. Right off the bat, there are two different lists here. The first, which I call the “Spoiler-Free Order” is a list that takes certain events out of chronological order to avoid spoilers. This list is ideal for new fans who haven’t read hardly any of the storyline. Those of you who know the story well may be looking at it and saying, “Wait a second, doesn’t that come way earlier in the story?” You’re probably right. For example, the short story Decadence, takes place at the very beginning of the story, however, it features major spoilers for people who haven’t yet read anything else. For this reason, I have intentionally taken certain items on the list and moved them to later parts in order to avoid spoiling plot details. There is minimal splitting in this version. The second list, which I will call the “Chronological Order,” places everything closest to the order in which they take place. In many cases, items on the list are chopped up because certain items are literally taking place at the same time, like MNOG and Tale of the Toa. This list is perfect for returning fans who already know the spoilers, but are looking to get a review of the series and want to see events in which they occur. Here is a key to help you determine what certain items are on the lists. C = Chronicles (Series 1) A = Adventures (Series 2) L = Legends (Series 3) B = Bara Magna Saga (Series 4) Games and Animations are Underlined Shorts, Serials, and Podcast Serials are Italicized Split Items are in Bold May I state, and this is very important. I did not mark these items because they are unimportant. Any experienced Bionicle fan will tell you that the Games, Animations, and Serials are absolutely crucial to understanding the Bionicle storyline entirely. If you leave these items out, you will be left very confused at many points. If you’re looking for a resource for all these items, you can find these books on amazon; each book is typically $4. Also, I am currently directing a project, known as the Bionicle: Audio-Narration-Project, that aims to create audiobooks of all the Bionicle books. You can find it here! For games, animations, shorts, and serials, I recommend using Biomediaproject (All these items are free on this website). Please read everything above this point before clicking on these! I promise, it's important! Now that I’ve got that out of the way, you may move on to the lists. If you are new to the Bionicle Storyline, choose the Spoiler-Free Order. If you are a returning fan who has read at least 95% of the items on this list, you can choose the Chronological Order. Spoiler-Free Order (New Fans!)

Over the years, I've encountered a lot of misconceptions about the Bionicle storyline (had some myself too ), and it can get tedious either trying to retype the answers or trying to dig up where they were typed before. I've been planning this topic for a long time and putting it off, but now that Bionicle is officially coming back and interest in the line has been renewed, I think it's time to actually sit down and make it. (I've done things like this before, but they were while new story for Gen1 was still coming out and much of it is out of date.) Eventually we'll probably have a Gen2 Misconceptions topic too, but for now this will only be about Gen1. To make linking to each answer convenient, there will be one per post, and this will be set up like the Epics forum; this topic will only have my (or maybe approved guest writers) posts with the misconceptions and answers themselves, but there's a separate discussion topic, here: Discussion Topic The part in quotes, opening each post, is the misconception; the rest is the reply. (The quotes are not of anybody's particular phrasing; just my paraphrases of the average for common ones.) Most of them will be written after a lot of prior forum discussion (in some cases, a decade of it ) so changes are somewhat unlikely, but please feel free to suggest them, or if you're still confused about anything ask the questions and I may decide an edit is warranted to avoid the confusion in the future. They'll be in no particular order, just as I pick them, though I may add a categorical links table of contents to this post eventually. And there's no set schedule for releasing new ones. Also, please suggest future picks in the discussion topic! Whether misconceptions you personally had that you'd like others to avoid, or that you have commonly seen, etc. Note that the emphasis here is on story. Probably obvious, but there are some misconceptions about the story that were related to the sets; they're fair game but set-only misconceptions aren't. If you're confused about what else could qualify, ask away. Enjoy!
