Tahu looked up to the large being above, his Hau Nuva showing his frustration clearly.

"Stranger, let me get this straight. You found strange signals on my home and brought your armada here to eradicate a ... De-seep-tin-con threat?"

The being nodded. Its voice replied, sounding very strange and wired. Indeed he was, because Tahu Nuva could identify only one thing on that being that stood many miles higher than he: It had wires and glowing optics. That was it.

"Yes, that is correct. And I, Optimus Prime, wish to talk with the inhabitants of this island to see if diplomacy could be attained."

Tahu Nuva thought that he and that Opti-whatever thing were mad.

Optimus Prime couldn't agree more.

Before I go on, I think I'll pause and not continue that story - even though it sounds like a comedy in the making.

It's some sort of funny debate that's been going on: Bionicle vs. Transformers. One robot kind versus another robot kind. Both out to protect others from those that destroy. Both have glowing optics. Both have heartlights (just that one has it outside and the other inside) and the-hoo-and-the-hey, they got someone related with flames to be their leader! (Somewhat.)

It'll make people rip their hair to put the differences and similarities together. I think that's why some of the topics in GD that mentioned this were closed - it would be way too hard to weigh them down, and may cause an uproar at other forums that see it.

But, so as long as I have a Transformer toy and a Bionicle set, I think my childhood -or whatever that's left of it- is well-provided for, and I do not need to trouble myself with all of this.

Just that -will the Bionicle Team really decide to copy Transformers and make another movie?
