So what is our understanding of the Protector's of Okoto and their family relations? We know the whole "gender based on tribe" is null in G2, based on the Protector of Earth being a woman and the Protector of Water being a man. I also recall a Protector in an animation explaining to what looked to be his child the legend of the Toa, and that their masks were passed down "Father to Son." What else do we know about Okoto's family life? Where can you imagine the story going with this?

Yeah the G2 Toa are pretty much rookies still with a bad case of insomnia: give them time But yeah Krekka was pretty dumb, the movie makes it even worse. That Keetongu was smarter than Krekka (and Keetongu was known as a Rahi) gives evidence Krekka had problems.

Where I would like to see it go is the Toa fight something awesome while we discover the lives of the Protectors and Villagers at the same time. Gen 1 made us care about simple matoran like Jaller, Takua, Hahli, and eventually got us to like them enough they sold them to us as rookie Toa! There has to be a "Takua" somewhere on Okoto too! (?)

Napuru is back to his old schemes I see...

All this just blows my mind: that Lego could set up the whole Mata Nui=Giant Robot for SEVEN years and we failed to catch the clues, but now it seems so obvious... But what was up with the sundial? Maybe that is a Great Being zit... Sorry to post twice in a row but I just found another one, from the Ta-Matoran wandering in the woods, he states: "Vakama says that in the beginning of time, Mata Nui fell from the sky, and landed here." Mind officially blown! Edit: Double post merged. -Wind-

I might not be the first to notice this, but in the MNOG there is a scene of an Onu-Tonghua talking to Whenua about a layer of strata that "extends beneath all of Mata Nui." I just noticed this detail today. Seeing that the whole giant Mata Nui robot was being planned since Bionicle's start: is this a refrence to it? What else could be a giant strata under the island? Even if it is a refrence to the Bohrok caves, we know that those are inside the MU body... Thoughts?

I just got back from Argentina on one of them "two year extended service vacations with a name tag." It's hard, but you'll enjoy it. And don't worry, Lego ABS plastic holds out well even without two years of use. Enjoy the trip, "Elder" Click!

This is exactly the topic I was looking for today, just barely having discovered this account is still working after 7 years of not being in use. Bionicle was a big part of my childhood, perhaps second only to Star Wars. I find it funny now looking at my Lego inventory on Brickset how much Bionicle sets I own in comparison to 'traditional' Lego sets (about 2/3 of my collection). I still love my Bionicle sets and am often surprised at how a large part of the Lego community greater shuns the theme due to it not using traditional Lego bricks . When I was a kid Bionicle was huge to me. I still vividly remember the day I got my first set, the original Lewa. I recall my astonishment at how Lewa's mask was so smooth in comparison to a normal Lego brick. I followed the theme over the next few years, especially being drawn into it by the awesome comics which came with the Lego Club Magazine. I played the Mata Nui Online Game, watched the first three movies, and read most of the novels. I still have copies of book reports I made in grade school on the Bionicle books! The theme reached it's peak for me in 2006, I felt that year offered some of the best sets, and the story of Voya Nui was much darker and 'cooler' than previous years stories (I still can't listen to All American Rejects without thinking of the 'Save the Band' marketing campaign). It was around that time I joined these forums. Unfortunately 2007 was a deal breaker for me, to me the story did not seem as exciting as it once was. After buying a handful of Barahki; I just decided one day, out of the blue, I was done with Bionicle. Only a few years later did I look back on Bionicle with a favorable eye. While I never again bought a Bionicle set, I eventually caught back up with the story. I was shocked by the death of Matoro, surprised at Makuta's master plan, and ultimately resolved when I saw the Tahu Mata of my childhood fight alongside the last generation of Bionicle heroes. Yet I eventually left Bionicle as a cherished part of my childhood. Since then I have become more interested in the greater AFOL community, I now read sites such as Brickset, Eurobricks, MOCpages and others. While I am more into traditional Lego bricks now, I still have a soft spot for any good Bio-MOC I see online. Every now and then I get a good kick reading what happened to my favorite Toas on the Bionicle Wiki, or reading about the mechanics of the Bionicle story on TV Tropes. Which leads me back to today, where to my shock my old BZpower account was still online, ready to take me briefly back to my childhood. So to join in with the other old Bionicle veterans, I thank Lego for a significant part of my childhood. And as they say, "Unity, Duty, Destiny".
