I'm reading about the history of Mata Nui

My mind is being fucked

Like Jesus Christ this is crazy huge in terms of scale.

If you get through all of it can you give a summary, because I spent hours reading the lore and eventually gave up.

I remember them having the coolest commercials.

I might just start a collection of these <_<

i'd start with the original sets and work my way up

...i'm sure they're SUPER valuable, though

You can get the old sets in good quality cheaply (like, a few dollars cheap) from Bricklink. Don't let Ebay or Amazon rape your wallet.

It should be especially easy for you since you live in the US.

Dude no chance I'll be able to read all of this.

It's nuts.

Not all of us were Computer Programming Majors by the age of 10, Chaos.

But the programming IS DESIGNED FOR 10 YEAR OLDS. All it takes to program something is a bit of thinking. The Machines they have in the instructions are there as sort of a tutorial in both the programing and construction.

He's a giant being that was created by the Great Beings.
His body contained the entire Matoran Universe.

Bionicle as a franchise, from the Toa Metru, up until the end of the Toa Phantoka lines, took place inside Mata Nui's body.

The Toa Mata/Nuva lines took place on the Island of Mata Nui. An island that was created after Makuta Teridax betrayed Mata Nui and put him into an eternal slumber.
Mata Nui's slumber means he literally fell over on a planet, in the sea, and an island formed over his face.

Note: The Toa Metru line is a prequel line to the Toa Mata/Nuva. It takes place before the Great Cataclysm.

Him falling over because of Teridax's betrayal was known as the Great Cataclysm.


After years of shenanigans within the Matoran Universe, the Toa Nuva travel to Karda Nui (the centre of the Matoran Universe, which is basically Mata Nui's heart). Karda Nui is also where the Toa Nuva (Toa Mata at the time) were created.

Anyway. They travel there to wake Mata Nui up using the Kanohi Ignika (The Mask of Life), which was retrieved by the Toa Mahri, at the sacrifice of Toa Matoro.

They succeed, but not really.
The woke his body up, but Teridax took over Mata Nui's body before they woke him up.
Teridax had kicked Mata Nui out of his body and transferred Mata Nui's consciousness into the Mask of Life.

Teridax, now in control of Mata Nui's body, and in turn, the Matoran Universe, ejected the Mask of Life into space, with Mata Nui trapped inside of it.


The mask lands on Bara Magna, where the Mask of Life forms a body out of sand for Mata Nui.
A bunch of stuff happens on Bara Magna.
Mata Nui discovers an old body that was the prototype of his body/the Matoran Universe.
He uses this body to fight Teridax, who had tracked the Mask of Life to Bara Magna.
He defeats Teridax in a big robot dude on robot dude fight, and reforms Spherus Magna in the process (Spherus Magna was one huge planet that broke apart. The biggest chunk being Bara Magna).

The Matoran Universe/his body is heavily damaged, and so the Matoran Universe inhabitants leave the Matoran Universe, and make their new home on Spherus Magna, and integrate with the inhabitants of Spherus Magna, the Agori and Glatorians.

Fuck me that's dope.

That's not even all of it. There's a shit load of connecting stories and characters.

It's pretty fucking crazy and mega in depth.

I know just by reading wikipedia summaries.

I'm like "Wait, who the fuck are half of these guys?"

Almost everything is connected.
You can get lost for hours just from reading a small page on BionicleSector01.

Bitch, you think we knew any of that shit at the age of 10 or that we had the patience to sit around and do such a thing?

I garuntee that at 10 the games you were playing were far more complicated than programming an NXT. The most complicated thing you'd even possibly have to know is what a 90 degree turn is, and unless you went to a school far worse than the ghetto shit a grew up with, something like that should already be second nature.

In fact you DIDN'T HAVE TO PROGRAM IT. You could download programs and instructions from lego's bloody website. 

I've actually still got all of mine. Quite a bit of them. Couple boxes worth I think.
