I remember this commercial being the reason I got into rock music My little sister decided to ask me one day, “So if Hannah Montana did a song to promote Bionicle you’d listen to it?” I looked at her and went, “…Yes.”
Crazy how much effort was put into these commercials compared to G2. Its not just: "Good guys stop the bad guys yay". It tells a story that leaves so many questions. Sure G2 had left over questions. But they got answered with a a few words. G1 had questions that would lead down a Lore rabbit hole that might take a while to get out.
Preach! It's amazing how miserably a line like BIONICLE can fail when the marketing and overall story are given to incompetents. And I don't even mean that last word as an insult, really. It just sums up how they handled the reboot marketing and story wise.
@@LordFindogask734 Honestly. I love the mysterious vibe we get from the early promos. G2 we got the single narrator telling us a story we already know. There was no moments of suspense. G2 had a spider and its baby spiders. Gen 1 had an entire island of Rahi that are under makutas control. (BTW thanks for all the amazing videos) It just seems so lackluster when you compare the two. Early 2000s commercials had the toa doing what they needed to. G2 had the toa already winning and having the goofy sound effects made the story seem much less serious. Like there was no real worry. IMO they should have build up the world more.
@@Matoro0902_The_Wise it babys the audience. Yes the target demographic was younger viewers but having generic good vs evil is worn out. It should act more natural rather than everything only revolves around the Toa. G1 had villages full of different personalities. It treats the series like a regular world. Not villagers who all looked the same aside from colors. Masks were the same. At least G1 had characters with the same masks but changed their primary and secondary colors to help tell them apart. You saw that they had jobs and responsibilities. G2 they just kinda did whatever. Even the toa had no personality. Tahu and Kopaka bickered but that was about it with their personalities. Onua was kinda just the voice of reason here and there. Gali was.....there? Lewa was either laid back or super hyper. Pohatu was Australian. Even Ekimu and Makuta really didnt stand out. In a better world they would have gotten a more filled out story
Kalma- Sneaks in from behind and uses his reach to attack Eelek- Uses his energy reserves and redirects attacks Pridak- Strikes in from afar with lightning fast charges Taakadox- Doesn’t fight, simply approaches from the shadows and hypnotizes victims to sneak away Maantax- Lies in wait for an ambush attack Carapaar- Rushes and breaks through everything in his path like a charging bull
@@magdaciechocka3076 There is no such thing as "fear" of minorities...There is hate...And more like "had"...And what exactly do barraki have in common with minorities?..
I love the fact that when the yellow MahriToran guy drop the mask of life down, Takadox just picked it up, and doesn't seem like he actually wants to hurt that guy, he just wants the mask and lets the guy go.
That’s because takadox worked for the Brotherhood of Makuta, he found what the others did brutal and tyrannical. Thus teaming up with the Brotherhood to assure his own safety and to overthrow the Barraki.
Only because it would have been a waste of time and a warm body for fodder. Remember, all the Baraki were once warlords who tried to usurp control from Mata Nui, shortsighted as their goal was. Ruthlessness, cunning, and brutality are what made the feared, and those qualities only grew more so, after spending millenia in the corrupting waters of the deep.
For centuries the bottom of the the deepest seas have been shrouded in mysterious and superstition, Some says it’s a hostile place inhabited by the strangest creatures, Others that it’s a prison for the most dangerous outcasts, Legend has it that the only hope of ever getting out of there is a mask that every deep-sea creature has been craving for years, A mask they say everyone is prepare to fight for and risk their life to possess, But the only way of ever finding out is to go there and see for yourself. 0:38
@@demontorch True. Especially given how many other times they made the girls vs boys with the pool context for the other barraki and mahri trailers XD At this point it could be "others" vs "biofans" or something among those lines. XD
@@0liver_Clothesoff crazy how many years layer it’s been and I still remember little facts like these. Like sure I can’t tell you the deep lore anymore but the fact I still remember “the blue one has hypnotic powers” is amazing to me.
The Barraki was the first Bionicle toy commercial I ever payed attention to, so hearing the first part of Creeping in my Soul brings me to a different place.
i fkin love the idea od Barraki fighting each others. It adds additional value to the Mahri Serie, because it's not simple team of good vs team of evil, but team of good vs many evils, who are focused on their own. Just Awesome
When it came tothe Barraki, them Matorans really sent it. The wanted Mata Nui back even if it cost their lives. Absolute mad lads, my favourite Matorans
Here's a neat little detail: The Barraki are fighting over the mask of life, while they themselves are physically unable to wear masks, let that sink in...
don't know what you're implying, but I feel obligated to explain that their aim isn't to wear the Ignika (especially given what normally occurs to those whom aren't chosen) but to be near it when it breaks, as the energy emanating from it can turn them back to their original forms.
Same for me. It's amazing how now as an adult I realise how they did a great job on the design and how he looks like a shark. As a kid i was like "duuh i want the red one because red is my favorite colour !" Kalmah was my last Bionicle set. Until I restarted a collection.
That was the only reason I wanted to get Pridak. To make him a shark. the amount of detailed they added to each and every character a lot of them being sotrywise is insane. Props to the Bionicle team.
@@TheRandomYoYo The best toys ever. Lego was about to collapse, and they put so much effort, work and artistic talent in it to save the compagny they built an entire universe built on a story based on a brain tumor (yes, yes.)
Oh there's two versions of this trailer! I was wondering why the other one felt a little off to what I remember it being like. Thanks for making the version I'm nostalgic for look so gorgeous!^^
I was well into the franchise at the time this was released, I remember back in the BZPower days when these trailers would drop and we'd all go nuts about how cool everything looked
This commercial was my first exposure to Bionicle. Funnily enough, I thought it was a movie trailer and begged my parents to let me go see this new "Creeps from the Deep" film XD
Yeah, the way it was made really gives a lot of movie trailer vibes, especially how at the end the narrator says "BIONICLE PRESENTS THE BARRAKI, CREEPS FROM THE DEEP."
@@LordFindogask734 A lot of Bionicle trailers (especially during the Ignition era) had a heavy cinematic feel to them honestly. I haven't found another toyline, even within Lego, that advertises itself so epically. Though, it's possible there are other toys in that category and I just haven't heard of them :P
They aren't Av matoran parts. They're mostly parts from previous lines. Upper left looks to be a Carapar torso armor, and just below and to the right of Dekars foot i think is a Hordika arm.
God so fucked on nostalgia rn that I almost don't want to break down crying at the passing of the of the source of my favorite childhood memories. Rip bionicle. Maybe one day...
0:41 - My mom thought he looked "too scary" when I was helping her sort through the family lego collection. So I made a little pink skirt, put it on him, and was like "There, is he okay now?"
I loved watching this. It brings back a lot of nostalgia and to see it in this quality is wonderful. I never really had these sets growing up hell I only had matoro from this line back in 2007. But matoro was actually my first bionicle I ever had and I use to watch this video along with the mahari one all the time on the website just ever morning at school on a computer I’d go to LEGO and watch these trailers wishing I could have those figures and make them fight over the mask of life. Now I’m actually gonna try and collect all these dudes. So basically this video is awesome and it means a lot to me
Damn I miss the good old Bionicle days, Lego were so dead serious with these trailers and took their audience very serious Anyways this Song is on my Playlist till this very day, love Cryoshell

In yours he takes his time and in the link the words are all mashed together. And don't get me started on the different ending 😒🤣
Everyone here shares this really profound love for this extremely niche thing, we all build stuff, we love the comercials, we all get the chills when we listento this song and we all have "the dream" once in a while, we've been HARDWIRED to absolutely love the shit out of this franchise. We all share some very powerful emotions because of...some legos?...It's fascinating to me
Finally, after 15 years of this being somewhere in the farthest depths of memory lane, slightly glimpsing with deep dark and rock, I've found it. I didn't know a thing about Bionicle lore (was too little to get into it), but I've always feld bad for the yellow small guy getting thrown around. I also somewhy remembered this short having 'Bring me to life' in the background - I wonder if somebody actually created such an edit at the time or my brain just deformed the music as time went on.
Fun fact: Dekar (the little guy) was muted into Hydraxon by the mask who was, pretty sure the strongest or close to it during this arc when the barraki, Toa mahri and the other Titans were fighting in the ocean
If Tony Wedgeworth doesn't narrate my funeral, I'm not dying
It's a shame we never got a movie based on this, I love the darkness of the ocean theme and underwater stuff in general.
Least we got sweet narrative from the books.. oh well, it'll be as close as we get 🙃
Heck yeah, I love the ocean, so 2007 rocked for me.

Best sets on Bionicle, hands down. The unique models, monstrous appearances and the story behind them just sets them apart.

Remember when I got some of them and reenact this in a pool/ hot tub good times
and we lost it all < such a great time was having the bionicles
I would watch the original video on UA-cam religiously as a kid 🤣 brings back good memories 🥲
Now you may be wiser but if you think your troubles are over. You’ll soon find out they’ve only just begun.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for having this audio version instead of the crappy sped-up/changed version 🤮 this is the true audio for this vid!
Wait the other version had the audio sped-up? O_O

So not like sped up but definitely rushed. Listen to how he says "mysteries and superstition" in your version and then this link's version. In yours he takes his time and in the link the words are all mashed together. And don't get me started on the different ending 😒🤣
At 1:53I swear you can hear the Yellow dude say "Fuck" as the tentacle grabs him. Checked other channels too and it's the same, "Fuck"
Everyone here shares this really profound love for this extremely niche thing, we all build stuff, we love the comercials, we all get the chills when we listento this song and we all have "the dream" once in a while, we've been HARDWIRED to absolutely love the shit out of this franchise. We all share some very powerful emotions because of...some legos?...It's fascinating to me
Fun fact: According to lore, the yellow Matoran here, Dekar, is turned into Hydraxon we see later in the Toa Mahri ad by the mask of life.
I remember seeing this as a kid and having my mind blown.
I don't remember or haven't ever seen this commercial and my mind is blown as well this commercial is fu#king awesome 🤩
Yay!
A Christmas gift!
By yours truly.
Thanks, seeing this made my sad day better
Finally, after 15 years of this being somewhere in the farthest depths of memory lane, slightly glimpsing with deep dark and rock, I've found it.
I didn't know a thing about Bionicle lore (was too little to get into it), but I've always feld bad for the yellow small guy getting thrown around. I also somewhy remembered this short having 'Bring me to life' in the background - I wonder if somebody actually created such an edit at the time or my brain just deformed the music as time went on.
I think somebody did put "Bring me to life" in the Barraki commercial. It should be somewhere here on youtube.
1:31 When the gym teacher joins your team
Song name is creping in my soul
The Barraki are what the Toa Hordika should have been like
Here I am, I am lost in your land and I hope you will be... Creeping in my soul.
Fun fact: Dekar (the little guy) was muted into Hydraxon by the mask who was, pretty sure the strongest or close to it during this arc when the barraki, Toa mahri and the other Titans were fighting in the ocean
