Your favourite Canister villain sets

[Element Lord of Milk]

Since there's been some favourite Toa and such topics lately, i thought this might be interesting to see.

 

My favourite would have to be the Vahki, they just look really cool and imposing (Although I might be a bit biased cause I recently rewatched all the Vahki animations) .

[fishers64]

Bohrok, obviously. Most unique set concept for it's time and since - all the other humanoids run together, but the Bohrok stand out. 

[Jck]

yo yo piraka.

[Boidoh]

Don't be like Patrick Star! Pick the STARS!

 

Rahkshi! Yo Yo Piraka Nektaan! The servants of the MIGHTY TUMAAAH, the Skrall! 

 

Its dah best, I tellz you.

 

No seriously.

[Sybre]

I picked Piraka. First off, 2006 was my first full year of BIONICLE, so there's a feeling of nostalgia. Next, I like how they kinda hate each other rather than tolerate each other or mindlessly work together. I dunno why, but it's a little interesting. Last of all, glowing eyes and skulls, son!!!

[randomreviewerbros]

Dem Piraka, love those sets, those awesome spines just made them stand out

[The Lorax]

Yo, yo, Piraka! Aside from their great looks mentioned above, they were the first "team" of individual villains, not just sets representing a type of creature. These guys each had their own personality, character and backstory, where before the heroes had fought against large groups of near-identical enemies. These guys had the power and panache to go toe-to-toe with the Toa one on one, rather than relying on faceless hordes to be threatening.

 

The gang is on the loose, nothing you can do.

 

Yo, yo, Piraka!

 

EDIT: Drat, I clicked on Barraki instead.

Out of all the choices, I went with the Piraka. I really liked their glowing eyes, weapons, and their overall body designs. 

[Makuta Miras]

I voted Phantoka Makuta, because 1. Antroz is cool 2. They have BAT WINGS!!!! 3. They are MAKUTA!!! and finally 4. The Tridax Pods. I loved the Tridax Pods back at Christmas '08. Also Chirox and Antroz's weapons are pretty handy.

It's too bad Hero factory is packaged in bags

The only good thing about Hero Factory in my opinion is that the pieces are more durable

Piraka. I loved the Barraki as well, but the '06 villians have a lot of nostalgic value to me.

Piraka

[Rooster Nui]

I voted the Barraki because they were the first wave to be truly unique among each other as well as being water based, which in my opinion is a pretty unique concept and theme for a toy wave. I also just loved how each set had simliar phyisical appearences and character traits to different sea characters.

I voted for the Rahkshi, as they are awesome. The Bohrok are too. They're classics, with fun features such as collectibles and gears.

[Matoro Zeliph]

The bohrok obviously! They can hang upside down and canister is see through! 

[dotcom]

Ooh, tough one. I went with Bohrok. 

 

I don't actually have any Bohrok, though. All I have is a Tahnok-Kal, but it is so awesome. Just from owning that one, I can tell how great the Bohrok were, and so, since the original Bohrok came first, they get the point. 

 

Runner ups would be the Piraka for some of the reasons specified above, and then the Visorak because I actually liked them a lot.

the Rahkshi. But the Bohrok are a very close second.

[Tuuli]

The bohrok were scary cleaning machines

[doodleloot]

I'd say the Barraki were my favourites. They all had cool and unique designs.

[Reya]

Bohrok.

[Adventurer]

I impulsively went for the Vahki since I thought they were super cool - but that being said I could have just as easily gone for either the Phantoka or Mistika Makuta sets or the Bohrok/Bohrok-Kal. Now I come to think of it I really liked the Visorak at the tme as sets, but storywise I think I preferred the other options. If I were to make a judgement based equally on sets and story it'd be one of the two Makuta canister lines (I think the Phantoka sets were cooler as a whole but I liked the story for the canister Mistika Makuta more and I really really loved Bitil ).

[Fang RRB]

I loved the Barraki design, the box had such a great feel to it

[Master Inika]

I chose the Rahkshi. The Bohrok are often touted as the best non-humanoid BIONICLE sets, which I agree with, but the Rahkshi were so precisely changed from the humanoid built (hunched torso, long legs and short arms) while still being humanoid that it was just creepy (in a good way). This was quite fitting given that they were meant to be just suits of armor. The use of dark gray was also interesting, making them look more artificial than the colorful Toa. Simply put, the Rahkshi were uncanny valley as far as BIONICLE goes.

Hmm... Probably the Hordika/Hagah canisters. I dunno, they just look cool, I guess.
