When rumors of a BIONICLE film started to spread back in 2002 I always imagined it would be closer to this: I was kind of disappointed with the style the Miramax film went with. I'm not sure where all the "organic detail" started. I always assumed that the Bionicle characters were all robots, mechanical, and could build/improve themselves using Turaga "magic". But inside the machines were living, intelligent souls. The first instance of anything "organic" was the Krana. LEGO was pretty adament that the Bohrok were not living things -- as the Rahi or Matoran were -- and that the Krana brains were organic, alien, and alive controlling the Bohrok. This is why the Krana were made of rubber, to incite the builder's imagination while placing the weird brains on the Toa's face where a plastic mask had been.
