*explains toy features* “But it’s what you do that makes you a hero” That is literally the smoothest way to advertise anything, ever. Whoever wrote that line deserves an award.
I wish Bionicle made movies for most things. The Inika and Mahri, the Phantoka and Mistika, and the Giant Robot Mata Nui vs Makuta. Shame that G1 ended so this will never happen
Hero Factory sent a bad message for kids. Bionicle taught that to be a hero, you need to put in effort and you can be unique (other than the Kanohi Ignika, the word Inika probably came from the word unique). Hero Factory says heroes are so common you can pour them out of a factory.
"you may look like a hero. you may feel like a hero. you may be one Inika, you may be many. you may have new masks, new armor, new equipment. you may activate your powerful light up sword and load your multi-sharp Zamo launcher. but it's not what you got, it's what you do with it... that makes you... a hero." gave me chills. I hope I can get some of these off of ebay sometime.
I'm Polish, so i looked on Allegro (something like Polish eBay) and i've seen Toa Lewa Nuva for 6 PLN (about eighteen USA dollars and about thirty british pounds) and Toa Tahu Nuva was for 9 PLN (about 27 dollars and about 45 pounds) so it's really cheap for now.
yeah I got into it when the Inika were in stores but I didn't get any. The only thing I got from that series was the Bionicle: Heroes game for the Wii. Then I got the Mahri and it went from there... now that they are getting re-released, I will be getting all of them, hopefully!
shadowXeclipse lol,same here,I only have Hakkan and Hahli from MCdonalds XD I bought my first Bionicle in 2007 and it was Hahli Mahri,then I got some Barraki
Lego should've made an Inika movie instead of Bionicle 3: Web Of Shadows. Speaking of Lego, ever notice these commercials almost never said "Lego"? they treated Bionicle like it was its own seperate company.
TheZombieSlayer1337 Only one really became a monster, but over the control of somebody else and was eventually turned back to normal. Most people don't like the 3rd one because of the fact that the main protagonist of the last movie became evil.
+Combustiblemonguy However it demonstrates that not all Toa are invincible uncorrupted heroes that are immune to all that is dark and evil... Toa Lhikan afterall is the last of his brothers and sisters were turned evil, corupt, or deceased due to said trechory... in fact one of these traitors are now part of the bounty hunters and is in the 2nd movie... It breaks the illusion that everything is perfect... Vakama always had a troubled pass but going through the movies from back to front we have a much higher respect for Vakama in his life as a Toa, Toa hordika, and a Turaga... especially seeing how he has overcome his problems and has matured, wisened up, and so on... However to be quite honest with you. Instead of trying to pick favorites. We should have a movie through each part of Bionicle... To the original toas landing on the mysterious land of Mata Nui... to the very end... I would personally love more movies and at least showing every single character in the bionicle universe... Especially those that do not even have a set associated to them yet.
+R4V3-0N I agree, we should have a movie for every story told. But if they were to be made, they would have to be fan films. I plan someday to make Bionicle: Ignition, but have it tell the story of 2006 and 2007. The only issue is I can't decide wether to learn how to use Blender and make character models, or buy every figure and make it stop motion.
Combustiblemonguy Problem with stop motion is that it is often a bit hard to make it to a very high quality and that means a lot of frames... a lot. As well as obvious sign that you improved your skills in the next film.. and the next. so there may be a period that before you start you practice heavily. Blender in my humble opinion seems to be the best option. It has a lot less hassle and it is easier to work with other people.
R4V3-0N I know pretty much the very basics of stop motion; move the model, take a picture. The real problem I have with it is that I would have to physically buy each 2006-7 set, which comes up to be VERY expensive on Ebay, I would estimate roughly $2500+. Blender seems easy to use as SO many people can use it, but I'm not sure if there are models for every 2006-7 set, and if there's not, I have no idea how to make them myself.
I remember seeing the piraka and hating them because I thought piraka were a replacement for bionicle, just a different line of buildable figures. Then the inika commercials came out. right in the childhood.
DarkJedi246 I want the inika back but I don't know how, I mean the protectors don't have names...... mabye they get names like in 2006 I think on Mata nui they has a name changing day and jalas changed because he did something brave? Idk
Does anyone remember how one of the books ended on a massive cliffhanger where Jaller&co go out to get help after the Piraka defeat the Toa Nuva? Jaller&co come out of 6 canisters described as "Taller, stronger, united",then put their weapons together via knights of the round table style. Then the book says something along the lines of "In the distance, the Piraka all suddenly felt cold chills down their spines". The Inika commercials weren't out yet when this particular book was released. So it was a really big "WHAT IS GOING ON, HOLY S***!!!!!!!!!!" moment for me as a kid :D
That American Narrator how they had a huge impact on the story plus their awesome,they almost killed the toa nuva...... unless you mean that they looked weird or their not horde villains with me I like enimies with their own personalitys
Volans, Toa of Air the ending bit he says (but it's not what you've got, it's what you do with it, that makes you, a hero) is the most important quote in any Bionicle commercial.
It might be a heavy statement, but I personally think this was Bionicle at its peak in terms of popularity and marketing. They easily could’ve made a movie for this one and could’ve made guap, considering the storyline was really great. Possibly even a 2-parter with the continuation featuring their struggle with the Barraki. Long live Matoro 🤍
True, I was also relieved that 2006-2008 was my first introduction to Bionicle because the only thing I hated about the 2001-2003 Bionicle series was it's elite fanbase acting like they're the far superior Bionicle fans than us XD lol.
Just now realizing that 2006 was probably the biggest year for Bionicle. New island, playsets, friggen All American Rejects, light up pieces, a video game. Too much to list
I swear to christ, the Inika sets and the commercial still give me goosebumps to this day. Even taught me that the theme was from Daughtry, which was my dad's favourite group! It may have gotten edgy over 2006/2007, but it was so exciting knowing the story was getting deeper during those years.
@@TheGrimoiresVoice Okay, thank you for the correction! I don't know why I thought this came from Daughtry. Guess that idea was from the Toa Mahri commercial that used "Crashed" by them. I should have double checked myself before saying that.😅
Hakann was the first Bionicle I've ever gotten. I remember my mom bringing it home one weekend cause I had good grades, and I lost ALL the peices. Lol I still have the lava launcher thing, but nothing else xD
shadowXeclipse Yeah they look amazing! I managed to find a shelf where I could display the Piraka, with their canisters behind them. Currently I'm gonna try and buy sealed boxes for really cheap either off Bricklink or Ebay, although both are in short supply. I only need Thok, Reidak, and Avak's sealed canisters. (God, I think I'm going crazy with these things) lol
it's okay! I deeply regret taking apart my old Bionicles, especially the "new" Takanuva and Toa Mata Nui. I recently rebuilt a couple of the Toa Nuva and Toa Mata Lewa. The only Bionicle that I kept was Glatorian Legend Mata Nui. I am very excited for Bionicle 2015!
The Piraka and Inika are by far the best series. The Bionicles where great and the story was amazing. I remember every time I kept on reading it was like a movie in my head.
Thank You So Much for bringing back the Bionicle Piraka fond memories! Best TOAs Ever! They brought so much Cool Exposures to LEGO! Shame on LEGO of treating the Bionicle Piraka TOAs as disposable chopsticks after 2010 ... Bionicle Piraka Forever! 🕯
+Kuba CoCięToObchodzi Still Jaller was the leader tho... And, no, that's more the case in the Barraki (though it was Pridak the one who kept everyone in line). The Piraka were a group of Skadii Dark Hunters. And Zaktan was the one who answered for them, that's why he was the "leader".
Honestly, I felt like the Toa of Ice was always the real leader of the teams. Nuju, Kopaka and Matoro were the smartest and I felt always bailed the other Toa out. Mainly, from the Toa of Fire’s fuck ups lol. I mean, jeez, in that Mask of Light movie, Kopaka beats 3 Rakshi by himself and Tahu just gets owned constantly, bickering like a lil bitch with Gahli, getting poisoned and constantly getting his ass kicked.
I wish LEGO made another theme very similar to Bionicle specifically aimed at adults with a serious storyline and badass aesthetics. As a very young adult myself who is extremely nostalgic for the late 90s and early 2000s I would fully get back into LEGO if they released a theme that screams early 2000s badassery with modern Nu Metal as the background music.
"It's not what you have that makes you a hero, it's who you are." This is basically the Story of these six characters. Hewkii saved Pohatu during the bohrak invasion. Nuparu invented the boxer to fight said invasion. Kongu was a fighter bird pilot. Hali did... something I don't remember. Jaller was a captain and saved his friend with his life. Matoro... He made the Ultimate sacrifice.
True, I would've gladly taken that over Mask Of Light anyday because I never cared for the 2001-2003 Bionicle series that the Bionicle fandom itself just loves so much to begin with lol.
+Anthony guy Yes. It was also my childhood, and I loved G2. The "fans" who claim that G2 "soils the legacy of G1" are just vile people. They rejoiced at the ending of a line that brought a good many people happiness, myself being one of those people. They were disgusted at the idea that something that was what they loved, what I loved, and still do, being brought back but not being exactly the same, so a new generation could enjoy it. They hated it, and they did their best to ruin it for as many people as they could. These despicable people call themselves the "true Bionicle fans", and claim that anyone that knew G1 and liked G2 should be ashamed of themselves. I can understand not liking the new line, but going out of your way to try and ruin it for others who do like it? I think it is completely and utterly vile that they would do this, purely because a product they loved was revived but not the same. One of my friends loved Bionicle when he was younger, and had sunk a great deal of time and money into the line during it's first run, but never particularly liked G2. He had simply moved on. He didn't buy any of the sets, didn't follow the storyline, and did what the better fans who disliked G2 did: ignored it. He didn't yell about how it was "Hero Factory in disguise", or how "The Toa aren't the real Toa". No. He simply gave no attention to it. And this is why I completely despise those who rejoiced in G2's cancellation. Because it is very possible to dislike G2 whilst liking G1 and not try and ruin it for other people. In my eyes, trying to make someone dislike a product for no reason other that you dislike it is utterly abhorrent. I can understand disliking it, and then reasoning with someone who does to try to get them to accept and see the flaws, but simply trying to sway others to your cause of unjustly and unreasonably hating it is very simply wrong. It disgusts me. And the people who do it disgust me. I hope I have helped you see that the change of a line and the unwillingness to adapt, and thus trying to break the line is not merely trying to protect a childhood, it's violently committing an act of simple psychopathy. What sane person would find joy in other people's dismay?
0:29 Do you guys see how dark this is? I mean, think about it. Zamor spheres are balls filled with Antidermis/Makuta gas, right? And Thok just blew an Antidermis bubble... THOK IS LITERALLY SMOKING ANTIDERMIS LIKE TOBACCO.
***** For bio-mechanical beings, something as sticky as gum would be a severe hazard for all their gears and cogs. Also when the bubble pops, gas flows out. Actually, do Bionicles even need to eat or drink? We NEVER see them eating or drinking water, so do they only need oxygen?
+Combustiblemonguy Well, Bionicles may actually just be organic. Bionicle is short for Biological Chronicles. While we haven't seen them eat, Matorans of Ga-Koro often sell fish.
Ishy OQGX It's been confirmed that almost all lifeforms are organic beings inside robotic shells. But then they said the Glatorian were completely organic, but salvaged parts and turned themselves into cyborgs. For them to eat food, they would have to catch the fish, shut it down, break open the metal (Protodermis), scoop out the organic parts AND separate the meat from the organs. Seems like a really hard process if you ask me.
My favorite Bionicle year. Sadly, I wasn't around for it...I only started getting into them in 2008. I ordered a few of the Piraka on ebay, I plan to get some Inika.
Back in 2010 i found inika kongu in a sears at my mall and i was blown away i wish thay had jaller he was my favorite but i got kongu anyways i wish i got these sets to
Poor guys. I got my first bionicle in 2001, Pohatu Nuva, and from then on got them religiously. To this day I own about 70% of all bionicles, I got around 250 in all.
Vezon's got the money, but Fenrakk's got the car, and they're both hungry for pizza.
You just won the internet.
DarkJedi246 Too bad it's been posted before :P

Straight from the first movie, my friend.
It's quite epic indeed
Toa Kopaka said those words,
Piraka: The bullies

I wish they made an inika movie instead of legend reborn
Burning Jack'o'Lantern same!!!
Or just make a movie for most years.
Me too
Dude that would be grim as shit

Bionicle: Its not what you have, its what you do with it that makes you a hero.
Hero Factory: OK SO WE CAN JUST BUILD HEROS IN A FACTORY!!!!
lol

I can't be the only one hoping for the return of these.

For some reason I thought they were all blue, and there was a short one, a tall one, a skinny one and a fat one.
I remember. Not as good as the actual toy
"Each set sold separately"
Thank you for specifying that. We never would have guessed.
Anyone else get goosebumps while watching the first Inika commercial? :3
Ahhhh... memories
yeah honestly, the nostalgia was too strong for me.

The Interwebs. The Interwebs happened to you.
ah, the good ole` days of bionicle
Rest in peace, Toa Matoro. You are missed.
He was my hero
The Piraka and Inika are by far the best series. The Bionicles where great and the story was amazing. I remember every time I kept on reading it was like a movie in my head.
“It’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it. That makes you a Hero.” That line is just so freakin awesome!
10 years... 10 YEARS BEN!!!!!
legendary memories
I loved bionicle. It was my damn childhood.
I loved this generation so muuuch Inika and Piraka made my childhood
Still my absolute favorite year by far, not even close.
I really liked 2004, too, because I read a lot of the books from that year.
Even back then, I thought the rapping and "thug" feel was cheesy
same, then they brought out the inika which was just full of awesome XD
I like how they did stay to one story all the way through. The mask of life, which is from 2006, was present and relevant till the end.
*_I FUCKING LOVED THE INIKA AND PIRAKA!!! THEY WERE MY SHIT_*
_My first Bionicles were Nuparu, Hahli and Hakan =w=_
Ah, the olden days....
Thank You So Much for bringing back the Bionicle Piraka fond memories! Best TOAs Ever! They brought so much Cool Exposures to LEGO! Shame on LEGO of treating the Bionicle Piraka TOAs as disposable chopsticks after 2010 ... Bionicle Piraka Forever! 🕯
sooo Hahli Jaller and Matoro have their own training video things, but what about Kongu, Hewkii or Nuparu's? did LEGO just forget about them?
Tylerkbc and ioBrens I never remember seeing them on TV, so I just budget got in the way or something.
Maybe it was something to do with sales. Didn't the Black and brown figures not sell as well?
I remember those videos being on the bonkle website. I'm pretty sure the other toa had videos as well. Maybe I am remembering wrong.
These commercials were the best!
Also, RIP Matoro. You will be missed…
I loved the inika hero’s 😍
Dude...so many memories.
Childhood memories......
Such amazing memories...
the inika were the first bionics (to my belief) where the "main" bionicle wasn't red
I know I like them a bit more because All of them sacrificed themselves for mata nui
Zaktan (Green) The leader of the Piraka. :)
Zatkan isnt the leader because they are more enemies than companions
+Kuba CoCięToObchodzi Still Jaller was the leader tho...
And, no, that's more the case in the Barraki (though it was Pridak the one who kept everyone in line). The Piraka were a group of Skadii Dark Hunters. And Zaktan was the one who answered for them, that's why he was the "leader".
As a kid i thought that reidak is the leader
The Toa Inika was one of my favorite sets.
Ah 2006 good times
These ads reek of the 2000's...
And I love it.
The Inika and Piraka were the coolest sets imo
Which ones did you get?
I remember these guys from the first movie, masl of light.
those would actually be the rahkshi :P
No. The toa inika were some of the matoran (e.g jaller, hahli )
ah ok I see what you mean now, my bad. Thought you were talking about the piraka.
Not really...the Piraka were the bad guys in Bionicle Heroes game. They were mean and funny too.
@@shangalangshalala Hewkii was in there, too
I don't care what the wiki page said about the Toa Inika team, in my eyes Matoro was the leader of this Toa lineup.
Honestly, I felt like the Toa of Ice was always the real leader of the teams. Nuju, Kopaka and Matoro were the smartest and I felt always bailed the other Toa out. Mainly, from the Toa of Fire’s fuck ups lol. I mean, jeez, in that Mask of Light movie, Kopaka beats 3 Rakshi by himself and Tahu just gets owned constantly, bickering like a lil bitch with Gahli, getting poisoned and constantly getting his ass kicked.
@@justamaninTN Now that just makes me appreciate the Phantoka/Mistika even more because screw the 2001-2003 Mata/Nuva team XD lol.
I wish LEGO made another theme very similar to Bionicle specifically aimed at adults with a serious storyline and badass aesthetics. As a very young adult myself who is extremely nostalgic for the late 90s and early 2000s I would fully get back into LEGO if they released a theme that screams early 2000s badassery with modern Nu Metal as the background music.
2006 is the golden year for Bionicle!
"But it's not what you got, it's what you do with it... that makes you, a hero."
Best Bionlice year...ever...for many people!
Vezon's got the money, but Fenrakk's got the car!
And they're hungry for pizza...
The question that remains is...what flavour of pizza did they order?
The Toa Inika were the top of the top. Just an awesome Toa Team.
These were the best bionicles and sadly last great ones.
I think the Mahri, Phantoka, and Mistlaka were also really good too.
After 2008... yeah, I'm with you there.
The Mahri were fantastic, but you could make an argument that the mahri ARE the inika, so I suppose your point stands
Well, 2006-2008 was really good, but it went downhill with the glatorian, which were ok... but yeah the bionicle stars came out and those sucked.
@@leguac4187 2008 is were bionicle ended for me, the glatorian are just so boring and un apoealing.
@@leguac4187 I was starting to lost interest after Phantoka or Mahri (whichever ones came later).
2006 is my favorite year for Bionicle
Looking back at the Inikia commercial. Matoro was front and center from the start. The feels....
3:09 I just cannot stop listening to the Move Along song and it fits very well with the Inika commercial.
"It's not what you have that makes you a hero, it's who you are."
This is basically the Story of these six characters. Hewkii saved Pohatu during the bohrak invasion. Nuparu invented the boxer to fight said invasion. Kongu was a fighter bird pilot. Hali did... something I don't remember. Jaller was a captain and saved his friend with his life. Matoro... He made the Ultimate sacrifice.
The last bit about Matoro put a lump in my throat.
honestly these were the bionicle sets i was the most hyped about to get but i never got a single inika.....
In my opinion, they weren't as good as Toa Hordika designs
I got Hakann from Piraka lol.
Nostalgia. Bionicle were great toy sets, which LEGO ever presented. Instead of today. Even Hero Factory is no more.
I used to get the bigger ones for Christmas each year, but have since taken them apart and customized my own.
yea its always better to customize your own
i build a matoro titan and its awesome
TheDUDERulez1 Me too!
My childhood was awesome back then with the Piraka and Inika I had Avak Zaktan and Toa Nuparu
Sounds cool! I have Thok and Toa Hahli.
1:50
anyone else notice the red glowing Hau mask.
Noooooo really?
+JulioToyReviews Official Yeah I see it
I completed the inika set I have all six of them I just need two more for the piraka
3:07 love the transition here, really shows the contrast between the "good" and "bad" guys
i LOVED 2006 but i gotta admit, i'm NOT a big fan of the piraka rap it sounds like he's saying POraka. REALLY!!??!??
Matoro takes out twelve Zamor Launchers with four Zamor Spheres...
Like a badass.
"piraka on the street thats a lot of YEEEEEEEEEET"
Hakann the bully? In sweden he was called Hakann the tyrant.
At least that's more fitting, in America they all had edgy nicknames...
Thats WAY cooler
It's not what you got, it's what you do that makes you a hero
"Zooms in on matoro"
I swear, you would've thought Matoro was calling all the shots for the Inika if you had just gone off of the advertising alone.
Bruh the piraka rap is hella lit
This was my favorite generation if bionicle. I was disappointed when they didnt make a movie for this
True, I would've gladly taken that over Mask Of Light anyday because I never cared for the 2001-2003 Bionicle series that the Bionicle fandom itself just loves so much to begin with lol.
I hope that the Piraka will return in the New Bionicle line!
That would be fucking awsome if gen 2 remade the pirraka or biraki
+Nathan Champion G2 is dead agaib
*again
I blame the older bionicle fans who just couldn't open their minds
+Anthony guy Yes. It was also my childhood, and I loved G2. The "fans" who claim that G2 "soils the legacy of G1" are just vile people. They rejoiced at the ending of a line that brought a good many people happiness, myself being one of those people. They were disgusted at the idea that something that was what they loved, what I loved, and still do, being brought back but not being exactly the same, so a new generation could enjoy it. They hated it, and they did their best to ruin it for as many people as they could. These despicable people call themselves the "true Bionicle fans", and claim that anyone that knew G1 and liked G2 should be ashamed of themselves. I can understand not liking the new line, but going out of your way to try and ruin it for others who do like it? I think it is completely and utterly vile that they would do this, purely because a product they loved was revived but not the same. One of my friends loved Bionicle when he was younger, and had sunk a great deal of time and money into the line during it's first run, but never particularly liked G2. He had simply moved on. He didn't buy any of the sets, didn't follow the storyline, and did what the better fans who disliked G2 did: ignored it. He didn't yell about how it was "Hero Factory in disguise", or how "The Toa aren't the real Toa". No. He simply gave no attention to it. And this is why I completely despise those who rejoiced in G2's cancellation. Because it is very possible to dislike G2 whilst liking G1 and not try and ruin it for other people. In my eyes, trying to make someone dislike a product for no reason other that you dislike it is utterly abhorrent. I can understand disliking it, and then reasoning with someone who does to try to get them to accept and see the flaws, but simply trying to sway others to your cause of unjustly and unreasonably hating it is very simply wrong. It disgusts me. And the people who do it disgust me. I hope I have helped you see that the change of a line and the unwillingness to adapt, and thus trying to break the line is not merely trying to protect a childhood, it's violently committing an act of simple psychopathy. What sane person would find joy in other people's dismay?
I miss these so much!
“It’s not what you got, it’s what you do with it”
Holy shit that’s actually pretty wise
0:29 Do you guys see how dark this is? I mean, think about it. Zamor spheres are balls filled with Antidermis/Makuta gas, right? And Thok just blew an Antidermis bubble...
THOK IS LITERALLY SMOKING ANTIDERMIS LIKE TOBACCO.
I always assumed it was like bubblegum. Dang.
*****
For bio-mechanical beings, something as sticky as gum would be a severe hazard for all their gears and cogs. Also when the bubble pops, gas flows out.
Actually, do Bionicles even need to eat or drink? We NEVER see them eating or drinking water, so do they only need oxygen?
+Combustiblemonguy These are th tough questions in life.
+Combustiblemonguy Well, Bionicles may actually just be organic. Bionicle is short for Biological Chronicles. While we haven't seen them eat, Matorans of Ga-Koro often sell fish.
Ishy OQGX
It's been confirmed that almost all lifeforms are organic beings inside robotic shells. But then they said the Glatorian were completely organic, but salvaged parts and turned themselves into cyborgs.
For them to eat food, they would have to catch the fish, shut it down, break open the metal (Protodermis), scoop out the organic parts AND separate the meat from the organs. Seems like a really hard process if you ask me.
I still remember that days.....my favorites are pirakka ;)
My favorite Bionicle year. Sadly, I wasn't around for it...I only started getting into them in 2008.
I ordered a few of the Piraka on ebay, I plan to get some Inika.
Which Piraka did you get? Did you get any Inika?
My favorite is kongu out of them all and jaller but i never got him sadly I WILL BUY ALL MY FAVORITE ONES SOMEDAY
Back in 2010 i found inika kongu in a sears at my mall and i was blown away i wish thay had jaller he was my favorite but i got kongu anyways i wish i got these sets to
Poor guys. I got my first bionicle in 2001, Pohatu Nuva, and from then on got them religiously. To this day I own about 70% of all bionicles, I got around 250 in all.
SAMAKUSgamer pohatu nuva came out in 2002 I believe or 2003 with the rahkshi I'll look it up
I found Kongu on eBay for 5$ along with vastus and a un armed Avak
5:09 gotta love those mini Bionicles
