From the way I see it, there are a few pieces of evidence that point to a high probability of Bionicle returning.
Firstly, there was a post made on Greg F's page on this site a while back claiming that Bionicle would be coming back at some point. There was some contention as to whether or not this was a troll or prank from a hacker, but that was well over a year ago, and it hasn't been removed.
Secondly, lego has said that there will be a new construction theme coming out next year (new as in not Hero Factory).
Thirdly, Lego has also said they intend to revive some of their older and more popular themes, and since Bionicle ran for nearly ten years, it was definitely one of their most popular past themes.
And then there are those famous leaked images, which don't seem to look like any existing sets. If the images are faked, someone had way too much time on their hands and needs to get a life.
So I could be wrong, but I'm hopeful that Bionicle may indeed be making a comeback.

Replying to my own topic, I would like to see a sort of mixture of new and old parts, depending on the character. For example, someone spiky like Ehlek would look like rubbish using the new HF plating, but a more organic, streamlined character such as the golden fusion being, would be suited to these pieces. Characters I'd like to see would be all of the remaining barraki, now that their mutations have worm off, I'd like to see what they originally would have looked like.

If Bionicle were to make a return (and please, don't start a debate about that possibility here), what characters would you like to see in the new line of sets? And what pieces should be used (the new HF plating, or the old Bionicle armour)?
Share you thoughts; I'm very interested to hear what everyone's opinions are.
Rumor: Bionicle's return in 2015

I think storyline-wise they could easily pick up on Spherus Magna and introduce it as a new storyline. I mean, they started the original storyline with a bunch of amnesiacs wandering aimlessly around an island with no idea how they got there.
They could start it with a nice little premise along the lines of "after journeying for many years, a group of heroes find themselves on a wondrous new world, but all is not as peaceful as it seems..." or something like that. I don't see a new to reboot or change the storyline when there were so many unresolved plot points left to be concluded; the Marendar, the Red Star, the Baterra, the Great Beings, Velika, The Shadowed One, the Elemental Lords... the list goes on. I don't see why they would want or need to come up with completely new material when there's so much stuff left over.
