Bionicle Living On Through H F?

Okay, so I've been reading a lot of debates about the end of Bionicle, HF, etc. lately and it all gave me a completely random, insane idea. I have no idea where to take it so for now I'm just throwing it out there.

 

The Bionicle storyline IS continuing. Now, this idea can't fix the desire many have for the return of the comics, more movies, or anything like that. But let's face it, it's extremely rare for an "ended" story, especially based on sets, to continue. So we do have more story.

 

What we don't have is sets.

 

However, many people have pointed out that we DO have sets. HF is so similar to Bionicle, often using old Bionicle pieces, that setwise it is almost as if Bionicle had continued (though obviously there are differences). But they don't match actual Bionicle characters of known identity (although kids could pretend the Heroes and Villains were Toa and Makuta or whonot if they felt like it).

 

And we can also MOC from them. But MOCs aren't "official."

 

The idea? What if somehow instructions were made as to how to make standardized MOCs, using HF pieces, to build current Bionicle characters? How and by who, I dunno, but wanted to throw that out there for yall to chew on. :P

 

EDIT: To be clear, I'm NOT talking about by LEGO, but by a fansite like BZP or some such thing, for those fans who wish Bionicle could continue (who are mostly on here only).

Something like that has gone through my head. I forget who I told but the answer appeared to be "no" or something like that.

 

Also, it really seems like the story's ended, considering we've only gotten 4 chapters of post-JE Bionicle in the past 7-8 months (unless you count ST, then I'd have to go back and look it up :P).

The idea was suggested a long time ago, but Greg said that the HF marketers wanted Hero Factory to remain distinct from BIONICLE in story. I've heard from others at LEGO that HF is going in a completely different direction than BIONICLE, so it's probably important for it to be able to break free after this first transition wave.

 

However, if there's ever a Glatorian contest in the future, I'm sure the Blue Glatorian helmet from the dropship would do well for a new character. :)

More fanon? No thanks.

 

I think if people want to continue the story and make MOCs to represent characters, they should be able to do it themselves with their imagination, and not have one person's imaginative work become official or anything. Just my thoughts.

Oh right, then sure. Fans can do whatever they like, but I wouldn't mind seeing BIONICLE fanon using HF parts for new characters. Of course, without using the distinctly HF parts such as the torsos and helmets with microphones...
