Connecting the themes: G1, G2, and more.


Recommended Posts

I once recall seeing a statement somewhere on BZpower, possibly from GregF himself, that whenever Bionicle fanfics are written, they are set an alternate universe, rather than the main universe.  So in my personal Bionicle universe, what you are about to read is exactly how it happened.

 

Here goes: The Throwbot and Roborider planets were visited by the Great Beings before or during Mata Nui's creation.  They studied Throwbot and/or Roborider robot technology and applied it when creating the Matoran and other G1 Bionicle species.  At some point, while Mata Nui was doing his space exploration thing, he came across these planets again and studied them for whatever reason.

 

The G1 story as we know it all happened, and centuries, even millennia passed.  The G1 species have probably expanded.  Some brilliant inventors, likely under the wing of good old Turaga Nuparu, created the Hero Factory, or were at the very least involved in its creation.  The heroes themselves are based on Matoran and Agori schematics, but with powers based on those of Toa.  If we wanna get a little more meta with connections between alternate universes, we can also say that they were inspired by The Melding universe's Toa; they're small like the core universe's Matoran, but still have Toa powers.  Powerful, but agile and mobile.

 

The Great Beings eventually needed to satisfy their addiction to creating things somehow.  So in a fit of nostalgia for the good ol' days, they decided to make more bonkles by making Okoto and/or its inhabitants.  Since the Great Being who lead the Okoto development team was really unoriginal, they just recycled the names and (almost) personalities from the Toa Mata.
