This pinned comment is to try and address some of the most common remarks I've gotten on this video since it dropped. 1. "Toa Mata in C???" I admit at the end that I was a little harsh, and i bumped them up to B. I do reorganize some of the rankings at the very end of the video, and that was one of them. 2. "Your ranking is goofy, and I don't agree with 99% of them." It's perfectly fine to disagree with my rankings. But I have gotten a lot of comments with people saying my opinions are "whack" or "goofy" without giving me examples on *why* they disagree afterwards. I'm saying that I'd at least like to know why you disagree, otherwise I just find the comment confusing and won't take it seriously. 3. "Fikou in WTF IS THIS SHIT???? Yeah, you have lost all credibility." By far the most common one I get, and I find it to be by far the most frustrating. I say via text that I knew about the master builder set before, but completely forgot it existed until I started editing. And if I had remembered to, I would have thrown it into "never owned but would like to." I find this frustrating because I assume that fikou is supposed to be the "secret GOAT" of bionicle because someone ranked it the best as a joke, and people are ragging on my ranking because of a meme? Please explain because I find it actually difficult to believe that a tiny spider that takes less than 20 pieces to build is somehow better than brutaka, the piraka, and karzahni.
@@awsumyojimbo1963 I ain’t gonna respond to all this bc I can’t be bothered but on the last one, nobody is saying the fikou is better than all those? it’s a silly simple build and it excels at being that better than most. Nobody is unironically claiming that the fikou is the greatest thing ever, but it IS still good and fun
@@CrummTheDumm Honestly, Fikou is one of my favorites of all time and one of the first things I think of in terms of Bionicle. I got a tattoo of him even!
I'm not the biggest Toa Mata guy by any stretch (I respect them a lot and they have fun designs, but they're definitely showing their age), but ranking them below the ugly-ass Toa Nuva is definitely a take that exists.
This dude talks like he once knew bionicle but had no idea wtf it was about.I appreciate him putting 2 hours into a video but being so poorly informed about them makes this video unwatchable.
I dont think ive ever seen a tier list where i disagreed with every single placement edit: just read the description and now my heart rate is going back down
You’re right the description saved it. I suppose if I put effort into a 2.5 hour aprils fools video but didn’t finish it in time, I’d release it anyway
Hey, so I'm the original creator of the tier list template, and I'm NGL: It's kinda surreal to see a tier list template I threw together on a whim in my Sophomore year of high school just casually being used in an over 2 hour video. Apologies about having the sets sorted by alphabetically instead of by release order; I used to be one of those guy who'd never properly sort/name his files, so what ended up happening was I'd just download an image of the sets into a folder, name the image file the set name, and just upload it to the template with no second thought. I've thought of making a new version that's ordered by release, but I really don't wanna go through the hassle of downloading like 200 pictures of Bionicles again (Also, if you're curious, that one super blurry image at the end of the template is actually just the thumbnail image for the template. I accidentally included it with the set images, if you hadn't figured out yet. It's supposed to be a group shot of some random dude's collection). Aside from that, it seems you and I have pretty similar tastes when it comes to Bonkles. Your S-tier is pretty much what mine look, albeit without Ultimate Dume (I get why you like him so much, but I'm sorry, I find his build a bit too gangly for my liking), the Toa Ignika swapped out for the Toa Mahri, and the Barraki, Gadunka, and Nocturn (Plus a couple miscelaneous characters like Krika and Ikir) added as well. 2007 was the year I got into Lego, so naturally, I have a lot of fondness for the 2007 Bionicle sets. Everything else I generally agree with or at the very least understand your perspective on (As much as I love him as a character and what they were trying go for with his set, even I have to concede that Matoro Mahri is kinda ugly). However, as a massive lover of sealife, I just cannot get behind that Akida placement; She's one of the most graceful and elegant Rahi/creature builds Bionicle ever produced, even if her play function is kinda lame without Uniter Gali. Easily one of my favorites when it comes to the "smaller" Bionicle sets.
I remember my first Bionicle ever. Christmas 2004 or maybe 05, I got Toa Vakama. I was so incredibly happy. Toa Metru are the only ones that I own the full set.
It is interesting to hear somebody say that the Metru were a step up in quality, because I feel like that was the era the parts began to feel cheaper and overall sets were becoming less imaginative and coasting and dropping the recolors/customizability, which were my initial draw; the collectables just got a little weak. The Visorak were the first time I bought no sets from a wave, because I was so tired of repetition and not much new being brought to the table. By the Inika, I picked up Nuparu because he had the only mask that was not horrendous (to me) and I owned the blue and green Piraka, but the rubber parts and light up gimmicks totally lost me and having no gear function felt like it robbed Bionicle of it's core principals and novelty. I got really into Nintendo DS at that point and don't remember anything after that. I did not know the Mahri or anything after that existed until a couple years ago when I got my collection back out.
That's crazy because to me it is the complete opposite, before the toa Metru all sets had a clone look to them after the Toa metru they really started to innovate in both designs and building styles
I can respect your decisions. Personally I have Keetongu in S-Tier, just because the idea overall has always been my favourite. I enjoy the whole moving body and the spinner in the chest - pretty unique idea at that time, and just how alien he looks compared to most of Bionicle.
This feels like you ranked them based on how good they are at being something else, rather than ranking them for what they are. “They don’t have armor so they’re essentially just for the collection.” You missed the things that makes them so revered here
A really great video. I loved to see your takes on all these sets. I look forward to watch more of your videos. And please dont feel discouraged by these whacky goofy men children in your comments. For some people the concept of "different opinions" is just an unknown thing.
Saying most people would say 2006 was the beat year is where you lost me. Aside from the Titans, that was arguably the worst year between 01-08, I think more people would agree with that than it being the best
No, I think lost people would call it the best, the Barraki were powerhouses of creativity and the mahri were pretty cool too, not as strong as the barraki but all not being clone sets helps. 07 was also good but the titans weren’t nearly as good and it had nothing close to the barraki. The barraki and titans make it very arguably the best year.
@michaelbarker6732 that's very valid, the toa hordika were probably the worst toa team and the visorak were some of the worst enemies, plus rhotuka spinners were such a sketchy function design. I will give them points for originality on the rhotuka and hordika arm functions but definitely fell flat. The titans were pretty decent but nowhere near the 06 titans. My biggest gripe with 06 is it set the precedent of moving away from the Technic foundations that made bionicle so incredible and moved towards a much simpler CCBS-style of design with much less function. Sure, the posability is cool, and the toa inika zamor launchers were one of the better projectile designs, but having 0 technic function makes them feel like so much less effort went into the design and just feels cheap. Plus the "organic" rubber "masks" and pirakha spines were just offputting and doesn't fit the theme of the rest of the series
People need to understand bionicle was already cancelled when they released the stars designers managed tô get onde last wave tô say goodbye, was a good wave? No but i prefere having them than nota having nothing at all
The choice of figures was wrong. Why put mini Gresh and Skrall just a year after their sets? Could have put any other character and villain instead of those two.
I feel like you shouldn’t make a tier list if you didn’t own them all. Also, the Fikou in “WTF” tier? The first tiny Rahi we could make? Insanity. I’ve been killed.
At 1:06:10 tactically. Nuparu is tactically the first Toa of iron. Couse he was an iron Matoran and they don't usually have any other Toa in their community
Me: Plays the video. AwsumYojumbo19: Puts fikou spider in the worst tier instead of top tier. Also me: Disliked the video. WTF Edited: He doesnt even know what the sets he tiering are wtf.

Man, putting the Toa Mata in C Tier is nuts
yeah you have to be asbolutely braindead to place first gen any other place than S tier
Yeah!
but they are really overhyped
I mean realistically they're B at best, nostalgia is 90% of what they have going for
@@justanotherguy7984
Wrong
3:30 these were mcdonald toys, VERY basic. but you can morph them together! it’s basically the beginning of the story. they’re kids
4:13 these boys follow borhok around to replace their parasite mask. once they fling it the body shuts down
16:10 KNEES
A lot of people complaining about placements, and I’m over here just happy I found someone to talk about bionicle
You need to leave the Fikou Spider alone
Just fun to see all the bionicles in one place. Every persons tier list would be different so don’t listen to the haters.
I dont think ive ever seen a tier list where i disagreed with every single placement

Tier lists are always opinion based anyway so idk what you exactly expected.

This is how i fall asleep, it puts good dreams in my head
i always thought it was strange that the bionicle universe has visorak then suddenly has enemies known as "skull spiders"
fikou in bottom tier yeah im not watching this video
I dont know, why are so many ppl comlaining, its nice to me to see an interesting opinion in tier list format, thx for the job
Its been 20+ years and im just now finding out Takutanuva has a special Kraakahn.
You can replace the batteries in the Toa Inika sets btw.
I remember my first Bionicle ever. Christmas 2004 or maybe 05, I got Toa Vakama. I was so incredibly happy. Toa Metru are the only ones that I own the full set.
i don't think this guy is a bionicle fan lol
Ok I love that you made a 2.5 hour bionicle video
I disagree with 99.999999% of all opinions expressed
Awesome, make your own video

this tierlist might be one of the most difficult to pull off in regards to the rose tinted glasses phenomenon

This is the content I crave
And the Bohrok canister design was so cool, you could hang them like in the video
@26:34 Every water Toa is officially named Gali!!
Man I love binoculars… what’s a bionakle!
the 2025 bionicle reboot is going to blow every F/WTF tier out of the water with the "buildable" design.
Toa Mata bellow the Toa Nuva is definitely a choice...but I agree that both are bellow the Toa Metru.
Nidhiki and Keetongu are Goats brother.
You put kongu inika as S tear really show how fine your taste are! I love kongu inika, he's so underated in design wise.
1:06:33
(After reading the description)
Oh, so you didn’t mean to *trash our savior*
Toa Mata in C Tier? Those are the OG's. That's the damn set that SAVED Lego.

Why in gods name is your list ordered according to YOUR taste instead of MINE?
The metro music gets put into s tier
Bruh I didn’t even realize I had been watching for 1 1/2 hrs💀
yo not gonna lie roodaka is pretty hot
The mahri Nuparu mask was reused for Mezaka
I've got the boxing lizard guy, the tiel one
i'll like ONLY bc i respect anyone who likes bionicle, but damn
First couple of minutes….common man the matoran set came with happy meals! Rookie!
Toa Mata C tier unbelievably based, maybe a bit too low, B by me. But seeing the Toa Mahri below Inika... that one stung.
Why yes, I am watching videos about a toyline that was discontinued 20+ years ago, what makes you think im not loyal?
discontinued 14 years ago

F Tier: Lime Green Joints (Why did they ruin Hahli bros)

deserved better
