G2 villains vs 2009 villains

[Umarakthefan]

The worst villains of the whole bionicles franchise,who would win?

[Aanchir]

You mean in a fight, or just which do we prefer? I'm not really any fond of "who would win in a fight" type questions because there are often just too many variables. Thinking about it in simple terms, the 2016 villains have way more powers than the Skrall did, so they'd have a pretty decisive advantage. The 2015 villains, on the other hand, didn't really have much in the way of special powers, so it would be a purely physical and tactical matchup in which the Skrall might more likely have the edge.

 

As for which I prefer, G2 villains, easily. Cooler colors, cooler play features, and generally more complex builds. Plus, on a conceptual level, "swarms of mind-controlling spiders led by a giant spider", "an army of undead warriors", "a mythical, shadowy hunter turned raging beast by his lust for power", "the island's elements awakened against the heroes", and "manipulative force of evil who was once an honorable mask maker" just feel much more distinctive to me than "a bunch of really strong rock people led by the king of the really strong rock people".

 

To be honest, I even feel like calling the G2 villains "the worst villains of the whole Bionicle franchise" is a disservice. They have a lot more going for them than the Vahki or Visorak, the way I see it. And certainly more going for them than the Morbuzakh.

story wise they are bad.In combat the G2 are better because the skeletons have dirty trick up their dead sleeves(stealing the enemies mask). Umarak has shadow powers and in his second form he is physically a challenge. But all we know the skeletons were warriors and that's it. Umarak was basically makuta's slave in wave2. he should rampage as destroyer not find pieces of the forbidden mask. Umarak had so much potential but they had to ruin it. It bothers me that makuta sacrifices him at the end, I mean umarak was the one who kept the toa in line. And we don't know anything about umarak and kultas backstory. The skrall were just lame warriors. In bionicles I only like villains who have superpowers Edited October 8, 2017 by Umarakthefan

The skull villains were awesome! they were cool looking, fun and had some cool masks, the only con is that skull basher and scorpio have the same mask, but a simple comic con mask can fix that.

 

The 2009 villains were alright, but Inika and Agori build had become quite old, however they did have some cool new pieces like shields and blades which had wonderful patterns.

 

I can't judge the 2016 villains because they were never even released in my area
