Hi, guys. Fifteen years ago, in the second half of 2011, Hero Factory had its late 2011 story arc called “Savage Planet”. It is about six members of the Alpha 1 Team, who are Preston Stormer, William Furno, Jimi Stringer, Dunkan Bulk, Julius Nex, and a new guy named Daniel Rocka, fighting against a villain called the Witch Doctor. The Witch Doctor was once a professor named Aldous Witch at the Hero Factory building, teaching Heroes, but he got exiled for trying to wear a Hero Core. He then uses corrupted Quaza to mind-control techno-organic animals (Bionicle’s 2001 story arc, with the Infected Mask-wearing Rahi, anyone? This happened 10 years before Savage Planet, so this was like a pretend anniversary gift to Bionicle?) on a jungle planet called Quatros, and mines the Quaza from the planet, destroying it, making the Heroes go save the planet from Witch Doctor. The Heroes wear animal-based armor that give them animal-based powers, to survive the planet, and they were called “3.0 Heroes”. The set wave had 12 sets. Seven for the Heroes, and five for Witch Doctor and his animal slaves. The set wave is the first to have swarm enemies, which are the animal slaves. It used the Character and Creature Building System, like the early 2011 story arc called “Ordeal of Fire”. It has many animal-based pieces, as the Heroes have transparent dark green armor pieces that have their names and pictures of their animals on them. This is the first year to have an XL Hero set, which is Rocka XL, a larger version of Rocka 3.0, similar to Takanuva’s 2008 set and Mata Nui’s large 2009 set from Bionicle. The tallest Hero Factory set in the set wave is Witch Doctor, who is also the tallest Hero Factory set in general. The Hero Recon Team website used the 3.0 parts as well. The set wave has a two-part television movie called “Savage Planet” in September 2011. The movie was also released on DVD on October 4, 2011. The DVD came with the Ordeal of Fire episode as a bonus feature. There are also six new Creep Crushers games called "Jungle Crushers". There are also an online game called "Mission: Savage Planet", a sequel to "Mission: Von Nebula" in 2010 and "Mission: Ordeal of Fire" in early 2011. There are two comics, one in July 2011 and one in November (I don't know what there is no comic in September). I collected all of the Savage Planet sets. The animal-based pieces are neat pieces. Witch Doctor has a limited articulation in his legs and shoulders, and an asymmetrical waist, though. I wish Mark Surge, Natalie Breez, and Nathan Evo had their own 3.0 forms (I would imagine Surge‘s 3.0 form being based on a blue bird, Breez being a green bird, and Evo being a cougar). I also wish there is a 2.0 set (and maybe 1.0 set) for Rocka since his 3.0 and XL sets are his first sets. I would like to think that the “3.0” name would also mean that the Heroes became stronger than their 2.0 forms, even without the animal armor (the Breakout forms look like stronger versions of the 2.0 forms). I also wish the DVD had more stuff, like a documentary (I should say the same to the Rise of the Rookies DVD). Sadly, the Savage Planet DVD is the last Hero Factory DVD for some reason. The Savage Planet is a good story arc, though I wish the Heroes had fought more animal slaves rather than just five (just two Fangz, one Waspix, one Raw-Jaw, and one Scorpio. Lol). I also wish Rocka’s origin story was expanded. Anyway, happy 15th anniversary, Savage Planet.

Hi, guys. I don’t know what day was Bionicle officially released, but I looked into BioSector01. Here’s what I researched: December 23, 2000: Bionicle.com happened. January 1, 2001: Mata Nui Online Game happened. February 1, 2001: The Toa, the main protagonists of the 2001 story arc, were released in Europe. May 1, 2001: The first Bionicle comic in the Lego Magazine happened. June 2001: The Turaga were released worldwide (the US at least, I heard. I wonder what day, though, like June 1? They were released in Europe on April 1, 2001). July 2001: The Toa were released worldwide (the US at least, I heard. I wonder what day, though, like July 1? They were going to be released in August, but this happened instead). Some people claimed that the first sets (the Toa) were released early in December 2000 as a test launch while some claimed that the first sets were released on January 2001. It’s quite confusing, but got to stick with what I said because it is official information. When Bionicle was launched the first time, it saved Lego from bankruptcy. It is why Kanohi-Power, BionicleZone Community, and Mask of Destiny had happened (Before these fan websites, there is Lugnet, which is the first to report news about Bionicle. Kanohi-Power and BZCommunity combined to form BZPower, the very thing we are using today). It has a story that is like DC Comics, Marvel, Transformers, and Star Wars. As you know, it is about bio-mechanical beings fighting each other to get special stuff. It became famous and had many media, including comics, chapter books, and the four direct-to-video movies. Everything was beautiful. However, we had some canceled stuff, like the Bionicle: The Legend of Mata Nui game and that Bionicle Legends book called Invasion. Thus, Lego announced the cancelation of Bionicle in November 2009 for some reason. Bionicle’s original run ended in early 2010, but its story continued. However, the story stopped on 2011, and it doesn’t have an ending. It has many unresolved stuff. It was a dark time. When Bionicle was gone, Hero Factory came in and kept Lego’s action figure category alive. It has some stuff from Bionicle (its 2010 set wave has more similar stuff than the other set waves). Bionicle came back on 2015, but it had a hard reboot similar to The Amazing Spider-Man movies in 2012-2014 (it is a hard reboot to the Spider-Man trilogy in 2002-2007). This version only has the Toa Mata and Makuta Teridax. It is about the Toa saving the island of Okoto from Makuta and his minions, and they have to collect magical golden masks to do it. It had an online animation series, three chapter books, two graphic novels, and a Netflix show called Bionicle: The Journey to One in 2016. Sadly, Bionicle got canceled again on July 29, 2016 for some reason, like the Amazing Spider-Man series. It was another dark time. Bionicle hasn’t came back since 2016. I don’t know what Lego was thinking, but the the cancelations shouldn’t have happened. You guys feel that way, too. However, there are still many fans that talk fondly about Bionicle. Bionicle became a cult following. We see a lot of fan stuff for Bionicle. We are still here. Plus, there are some Lego sets that reference to Bionicle. There are three Tahu sets in 2022-2026, which are the small brick-built one in 2022, the tall one with Takua in 2023, and the mini-figure guy called “Bionicle Cosplay” in 2026. In my experience, I have been a fan of Bionicle since day one. It helped me with my middle school and college. I collected a lot of the Bionicle sets, the direct-to-video movies, and the console video games. I also went to New York Comic Con in 2014 to see the preview of Bionicle G2. I hope Bionicle will came back again beautifully someday (people do “#bringbackbionicle”. Plus, I hope for the G1 story to be officially finished someday, same with Hero Factory’s story, and both being said to share the same universe. Christian Faber wanted that to happen, too). Happy 25th anniversary, Bionicle!

Hi, people. Fifteen years ago, on June 30, 2011, the latest chapter of Bionicle's G1 story, which was the seventh and final chapter of a podcast, Sahmad's Tale, had happened. No new chapters for the online story serials, "The Yesterday Quest" and "The Power That Be", were added. Bummer. However, Greg Farshtey was kind enough to answer some questions, but not everything is resolved, and the story does not have an official ending. Many characters are scattered like leaves. Makuta Teridax may have been destroyed and Spherus Magna have been restored in the the 2010 story arc, but still, and there is a crazy Great Being who wants to rule Spherus Magna. Sadly, Greg was laid off by Lego in 2022, so no new additions to the story happened. This is an extremely sad time we are in. I see that many fans have created some fan stories that act as add-ons to the story and true finales to it (there is a bunch of such stories in Myths and Legacies. I am also working on a fan story called "Bionicle and Hero Factory United", where it has add-ons to the G1 story and Hero Factory's story, officially finishes their stories, and makes them share the same universe), but they are not declared to be canon by Lego (some have content that Lego wouldn't approve, like dark tones and maybe more scattering. No offense to the writers). A lot of fans, include me, want the story to be officially finished someday. Seriously. Good thing that there is this dude who is doing this petition. Life is incomplete with the story being finished. I should say the same to Hero Factory's story. Someday... If we work together, we could make it happen. I pray for it (On a side note, I'm watching you, Master Inika, Nato G, and Kawaii Kitty. You always say pessimistic stuff that can dishearten people. If you have something like that to say, please don't. I don't like anyone here to feel sadder, please).

Well, when Bionicle is around, you guys always talking about something everyday until 2021 (for Hero Factory, mostly. You only made a few articles in the summer of 2013). You talk about something once in a while nowadays. I hope you guys are doing okay.

Yeah. Will Master Inika? I mean, it’s not pressure, but we could use a good insight for the story, please.

Maybe they are just good guesses based on probability. I mean, he knew (as in having a hunch) that something bad or big is going to happen, so he had to be prepared. I mean, read Bionicle Adventures 10: Time Trap. He knew that Makuta Teridax was up to no good, so he prepared things for the people of the Matoran Universe. I believe the visions were one of those things. He probably didn’t expect the whole thing.

I got a new theory: the Great Spirit Mata Nui gave Vakama the visions because he wanted to warn him about things that were bound to happen to Metru Nui and the island of Mata Nui (and also Karda Nui since Vakama learned about Matoro’s death). When Mata Nui’s spirit was ejected from the Matoran Universe, Vakama stopped having visions. I made the idea because Nokama said so in the Legends of Metru Nui movie: “Visions can be messages of the Great Spirit or signs of madness.” Vakama never deluded, so it was the Great Spirit who gave him the visions.

You ever wish Lego should make games that are similar to the Mata Nui Online Game? We would need such games.

Hi, guys. How goes the search for the archived games? Anyway, according to this link: https://www.bzpower.info/archive.php?archive=&amonth=4&ayear=2014 , on the "April 15, 2014" section, there was a Windows Phone version of the Invasion From Below game missing. Did anyone here download that game in their Windows Phones?

Why are you people giving me problems?! Let me make things clear for you guys: Set: Two tentacles on the hand. Story: One tentacle. My compromise: Two-tipped tentacle. Simple.

How about a two-tipped tentacle if you guys think that way?

Hi, guys. There is another project, which is called “Villain Factory - Mega-Meltdown”: https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/21ccb316-f403-4db2-ab94-e45206b5518e This guy is huge! Please go support it.

We now know what all of the 16 Realms parallel to Ninjago are. Took 11 years (since 2015) to learn what they are. Lol. I don’t know why that took so long, but yes: https://ninjago.fandom.com/wiki/Merged_Lands . It’s a pity that Nexo Knights and Lego Dreamzzz are not realms connected to Ninjago, but I hope they can be considered to be in another part of Ninjago’s galaxy. There’s no such thing as impossibility.

Who says “never”? I know we haven’t seen a constraction set for a long time, but have hope for that. For now, please support the projects presented here.

Hey, man. I believe in you. I want the G1 story and Hero Factory story to be completed, too (plus, have them share the same universe. On a side note, I’m working on a fan story called “Bionicle and Hero Factory United” for 4.5 years). It’s been too long. I am planning on sending the story (or a script) to Lego to try to convince them. Have hope. We have to make people help us with this. We have to try. Don’t listen to people who want to put you down. Trust me. It’s nice to read fan stories, but still.

Hi, guys. I have bad news: The XT4 project could not get 10,000 supporters in time. That’s sad. Anyway, we have the Furno project and the action figure project to worry about. Please spread the word. We need it.

We got a new one. It’s called “Tahu Mask - Bionicle Picture”. It’s basically a mosaic. Go support it! https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/64daf212-e593-404c-a665-d0f5976be364

Hi, guys. As you see, Kalmah has two tentacles in his left hand. That is in his set, comics, and that online animation called Barraki: Creep from the Deep in 2007. In the story, he is described as having “a” tentacle (not counting the little tentacles on his head. I’m talking about the “tentacle” on his hand). In a prototype set, Kalmah is seen with one tentacle on his hand. So, do you think Kalmah has one or two tentacles on his left hand? For me, it appears to me that he has two, so he should have been said to have two tentacles on his hand.

Hi, guys. There was an online game in Bionicle.com called “Spinner Challenge”. It’s where you play as one of the Toa Hordika and Visorak, as you shoot your Rhotuka spinners at your opponents. Although it was based on the 2005 story arc, it was released in 2006. Lol. I played that game. It was sort of fun and quite strange. Pity that you can’t win every time. It is like rock-paper-scissors. Sadly, the game wasn’t archived for some reason, but files with its pictures were found. This guy from YouTube was able to recreate the game: The game should be able to be played again, so go play the game!

To Master Inika: Hm… Right. Could use some enthusiasm, though. No offense. Anyway, here’s another one: https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/2a67d4c7-098b-4efe-9fb5-e3ddedbae2f1 .

Here’s another one, too! https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/40832103-5c57-44e1-8abd-39f5eabcfd80

Hi, guys. There is a Hero Factory-themed project in Lego Ideas. It’s called “William Furno and Quadal: A Tribute to Hero Factory” ( https://beta.ideas.lego.com/product-ideas/a4782e70-9009-433d-9ef8-a21524ef987b ). It’s in the same style as the Tahu set in 2023. I’m glad someone is being considerate because Hero Factory need some love, people. Thus, I believe we should go promote that project, so it can have 10,000 supporters.

It’s working now, guys. Could use some updating, though. It seems to be missing a few facts, the two AMEET books in 2010, the codes from the online games in 2011-2013, and magazine stuff. Plus, it uses older technology, so it needs to be updated with the same technology as BioSector01 today.

Hi, guys. Have you guys collected Lego Magazines? Well, BioSector01 has a list of Lego Magazines that have Bionicle in it. HeroSector01 also has a list of ones that have Hero Factory in it, too. However, they don't have everything in a way, as they need better images of the magazine covers (BS01 is missing a regular version of the September-October 2006 issue of the magazine somehow). I wonder if Lego had archived all of the magazines. I hope that is true and Lego will show us all of the magazines. You can't just pretend that the past had never happened. Many of us know it happened, but we need pictures as proof that it's real. I tried asking Lego Customer Service to give me scans of the magazines, but they acted like they refused. One guy from there suggested using Bricklink, but Bricklink doesn't have everything (still no regular version of the September-October 2006 issue).

Hi, guys. Ten years ago, in March 4, 2016, that Netflix show, Bionicle: The Journey to One, happened. It has Bionicle G2’s whole 2016 story arc. The show is about the Toa fighting against Umarak and finding the Mask of Control. On March 4, there are the first two episodes, plus a prologue special, which have the first half of the story arc. On July 29, there are two more episodes, which have the second story arc. In my opinion, the show is good, though the Hero Factory show is better. I wish the show was in Cartoon Network or Nickelodeon because I don’t do Netflix usually because I don’t like paying a subscription for it. It’s a pity that the second two episodes are the last ones for some reason (the same day that Bionicle G2 ended). We didn’t want them to be that way. I was hoping for more episodes. I was heartbroken when I heard the news and still am. The ending is rushed (well, BioSector01 has found articles that act like that they have the original scripts for these episodes, which seem to be made before the cancellation happened). This show is exceptional by animation because it did what the other Bionicle and Hero Factory video media didn’t do: making the characters look more accurate to the sets and give them more human-ish features, though the 2.5 look (the black lines outlining the characters) is not necessary. Plus, their mouths are missing, and fingers should have been longer to look more natural. I hope that we will have the show’s soundtrack and maybe some more concept art this year. Anyway, happy 10th anniversary, The Journey to One!
