Bionicle Life Hacks


Recommended Posts

I thought it would be an interesting thought exercise to discuss ways in Bionicle you could use one power to achieve the end goal of another.

 

For example:

 

Don't have a Suletu, but still want to read someone's mind?  Just use a Komau to force them to tell you their secrets!

 

Or

 

Need to start a fire, but you're a Toa of Ice?  Just absorb all the surrounding cold until things start burning!

 

 

Bonus points for the more obscure the life hack is or the more obscure the powers involved are.

Are you a Makuta, but 40+ powers just isn't enough?

Get a Kanohi Faxon! That way, when you want to do a thing but you can't do the thing, you make a thing that does the thing and then you do the thing like the thing!

I never even considered that, but theoretically that's totally possible.  I wonder if the mask considers a Makuta's laboratory as an "environment" or if the Makuta would have to set the Rahi free, then go to their respective environment, then activate the mask.

 

The Faxon is a bit silly.

Is something out of your reach? Are your kanohi, kanoka & tools not suited to the job? Toa Hagah Kualus recommends using Boomerang Rhotuka! They're not just good at catching flying rahi, they can latch onto a target & bring it back you!

Speaking of the Kanohi Faxon...

Wanna clean up all those pesky Shadow Takanuvas? Give Hahli a megaphone and a jetpack! Being airborne allows her to use the Klakk scream, and a megaphone (or possibly the services of a Toa of Air or Sonics for amplification) makes sure that it will be heard for kios around. 

 

Alternatively, if a jetpack isn't an option, using the Rahi Nui's Kanoka powers on them would do the trick, at least until an actual Klakk is available.

"HAHLI! Why is the freezer full of tiny evil frozen Takanuvas?"

"Do you have any idea how much a stasis tube costs these days?"

Are your neighbours too loud? Do you wish you could have a quiet moment? Well, if you have a rhotuka launcher & aim a deafening rhotuka at yourself, the powers will be absorbed into you, robbing you of your hearing! Now you don't have to listen to any annoying sounds or noises!

Is a great burden being placed on you, one that will lead to your ultimate sacrifice? Just get a Toa of Ice to do it!

 

Pro tip: If someone breaks your Huna, steal their Volitak.
 

Having trouble keeping your mask firmly attached to your face? Well then stop being Lewa!

I'm putting this in my signature.

Need to cook something, but you didn't pay your gas/electricity bill or know how to light a fire? Heat Absorption & Redirection Rhotuka can be used for cooking!

I fear I haven't sufficient knowledge of physics to contribute much to this topic, but I'll try.

 

Need to go back in time, but your useless Vahi can't do the trick? grab a Kakama and run until the planet rotates the other direction!

 

(I admit my knowledge of DC comics is sub par aswell)

Are you a Toa of Fire who wants to fly? Just heat the air to create a thermal!

You'll need something to catch the air with; a parachute or glider board.

Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone? A write-up for an initial video for a G2 plot

 

I really wish everyone would stop trying to play join the dots with Gen 1 and Gen 2 though,it seems there's a couple new threads everyday and often they're duplicates of already existing conversations! Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

Too short to reach the top shelf? Just put a Toa Stone into the Toa Suva! As an added bonus, you'll gain Elemental powers and the ability to use Kanohi!

Tarakava tracks making a mess on your nice clean Po-Wahi Stone imported floors? Got some muddy Onu-Koro Miner shaped footprints all over your freshly cleaned, yet suspiciously Brotherhood of Makuta crested rug?
Finding those pesky Toa walking around your universe, dirtying it up with their do-gooding?

 

Try the Staff of Erasing, and forget all of those problems!

Remember, Teridax says "Buy more Makut-o's"



I think I made mine into a commercial.

According to the Laws of Bionicle Physics (totally didn't make that up just now), a pair of swords should suffice.
