Constructelf Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I was doing some daydreaming, and suddenly had a random thought: What if Bionicle and HF have a crossover? Here's what I was thinking. Suppose the GB/murderer (either one if they're separate) gets caught but suddenly disappears, then maybe 1000 years later returns with an army of robots. What he really was doing was recruiting a bunch of HF universe criminals and basically causing a whole bunch of trouble in the HF universe. Then, when his plan fails, he goes back to HF universe and the Bionicle universe never hears of him again... wait scratch that. He organizes ANOTHER breakout, but this time Alpha 1 team manages to follow him but GB causes a while bunch of interdimensional disturbance which allows the Bionicle characters to go after him. After a long struggle, he is defeated, but I'm not sure which universe should be responsible for detaining him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzkitteh Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I'm pretty sure GregF said they take place in separate universes, however a small reference or cameo would be neat. Maybe the heroes are on call to some planet and they find a Hau, and simply disregard it as a piece of metal in a ruin or something. Nothing that affects the storylines, just a small little easter egg. Quote I USED TO BE LONGCAT IS LONG!My Blog. Read it. Nao.My Steam name is [TDC] Blitzkitteh, feel free to add me.

Dralcax Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Well, they did insert an Aqua Raiders skeleton in an Atlantis set. I don't see why a little Bionicle reference in HF could be worse than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klak Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I think Nuparu is referring to a few Bohrok related questions that appeared in the HF site. Since a cross-over isn't possible (according to Greg), maybe a cameo or nod would be cool. Other than that Hau idea, maybe a "Wish we had elemental powers" joke or something.

Lyichir Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 I've always thought a good cameo would be if we ever see some gallery with statues or other monuments to past heroes, if Tahu or some other iconic Bionicle character were to be depicted alongside more traditional heroes. The issue is that then fans would be sure to take that as canon, and speculate endlessly on how the Bionicle Universe became the Hero Factory universe, instead of just accepting it as a simple tribute to the theme's predecessor. So maybe a cameo wouldn't be the best idea. Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe a cameo wouldn't be the best idea.Good point. My idea would be somewhere in a discussion about somebody that they went on a mission to help or something, and mention their name, which could be a BIONICLE name. That would be sort of like how Cole in Ninjago knew that the a guy who used a fang blade as a trophy's name was "Clutch Powers". Or maybe people might take that as canon too... I don't know.

mdiggler Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Maybe they find an old abandoned bohrok nest? (No bohrok, of course- that would be too much of a crossover).

Constructelf Posted July 29, 2012 Author Share Posted July 29, 2012 Yeah, I guess it wouldn't be possible (according to word of God).

Back in 2010 when the Hero Factory website had fake "customer testimonials," one of the ones listed was by a certain "Cristal Matrix." I reckon that was placed in there by either Binkmeister (who runs the Hero Factory site) or GregF (who may have had some involvement in early story media), as a tribute to Crystal Matrix, the founder of Biosector01.

Constructelf Posted August 2, 2012 Author Share Posted August 2, 2012 It kinda sucks that they are in alternate universes. Maybe they're just in different parts of the galaxy/different galaxies.

Velox Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I wouldn't like that at all. I was never a fan of HF, and merging that with Bionicle just wouldn't work well, IMO. Plus I never liked Bara Magna either, and I feel like for a crossover to happen it would have to be another "Bara Magna experience." That would be the day that I stop being a fan of Bionicle.
