The Toa Metru
A bunch of re-renders and re-edits of my favorite Bonkle lads. The Metru symbols are courtesy of @Demitsorou.

Do you ever think about how jarring it must have been, for the Turaga, to see the Matoran doing their work after the move to Mata Nui?
Like... Think about it. Metru Nui was a very, very rigid caste system. Everyone was made for a role, they'd fulfil that role, they wouldn't change from that role for thousands of years. And more pertinently, those roles were largely academic, borne of a highly developed civilisation. Then, you get to Mata Nui, and suddenly everything changed. Everyone just lost all of their memories, and with that a huge amount of their identities, and their previous roles with it. In fact, many of their roles are just outright nonexistent, in a world of stone and wood, with no city, with no Metrus, with nothing that the Turaga would have known. Indeed, Matau's first reaction to Mata Nui was "Where are the chutes?"!
Obviously, the Matoran could adapt - a blank slate can easily have anything imprinted onto it, after all, and they were made to work - but for the Turaga, who were watching their warped, diminished friends and kinsmen who sounded the same as before but acted perhaps very differently, and already had to suffer through the lie of concealing Metru Nui, it must have been bizarre in a way 'suffocating' couldn't possibly describe.
Imagine being Vakama, a craftsman among a city of crafters, who only ever made armour, being forced to see his fellow forgemates sharpen blades and call themselves a guard, a militia, an army, hunters and killers. Imagine much the same of Matau, who once spent his time driving new machines down clear tracks with his kin, now having to make do with tempermental Rahi in a twisting maze of branches and vines.
Imagine being Nokama or Nuju, who spent all their life prior as academics, pouring through tomes and staring at stars, watching as those untold millenia of knowledge simply disappear, to be replaced with hard physical chores like fishing or crafting or, indeed, fighting off Rahi. Imagine the same of Whenua, who once spent all his time studying creatures brought to him, now only providing the knowledge to make them go away, as the the scholars of all the Rahi life of the universe spend their days digging through the earth with pickaxes (not even drilling machines)!
Certainly, these are necessary roles, duties to be honoured and fulfilled to a a standard high enough to ensure continued life, but... In some ways, it must have been utterly humiliating. Sickening, even, to some.
Not to Onewa though. Pretty much nothing changed for him.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
This train of thought brought to you by the new Essenger remake of the Mata Nui Online Game II Soundtrack, specifically https://youtu.be/MAierT0S82o?si=XB9s03CUTCRubFOn . I never played much of it, but I distinctly remembered Hali being a weaver, creating thread from flax fibres; which, given the hindsight of Ga-Metru being a giant university/research centre, makes the role seem strangely small in comparison to her duties before. Of course, now she's a Toa, I suppose she doesn't have time much for either!
[Edit: I posted this at midnight when I was falling alseep and totally got the names of Onewa, Nuparu, and Whenua muddled up... This happens a lot even when I'm fully awake though. Edited for clarity.]

everyone’s talking about the barbie marketing but no piece of barbie marketing has hit as deep as the bionicle commerical feat. the all-american rejects’ classic 00s bop “move along”

Round Two - Aquamancy (water) 7/8
Tumblr media
Propaganda under the cut (beware of potential spoilers!!)
Hahli:
hahli my beloved. light of my life. she starts out as a normal, powerless water elemental biomechanical entity on a tropical island before going on a quest to become the Best Sportsball Player and also helping to save the island from evil roombas and eels that pilot mech suits. then she goes back to the post-apocalyptic city that she and all the inhabitants of her island forgot, for a while, before heading out on a dangerous journey with a bunch of her friends to help save god and also the six actually-elementally-powered warriors. after a brief sojurn through hell, she and her friends get struck by lightning, turn into actually-elementally-powered warriors, wash up on the beach of an island where ex-mafia thugs have enslaved the population, save said population, save the actually-elementally-powered warriors that they went after in the first place, and almost obtain god's defibrilator before it falls into the ocean and that's where she really begins to shine. from mild-mannered historian lacrosse champion to Hahli the Barbarian. she bluffs. she fights dirty. she gets mutated into the most badass fish warrior ever. she gets FINS that look like WINGS and GILLS that look like BREATHING TUBES. she can summon the powers of the creatures around her, and, seeing as those creatures are fish, and she, as a previous Powerless Water Elemental Village Literally Built On Water Swimming Champion, knows what fish, generally, can do, she becomes an absolute powerhouse. unstoppable creature of the depths. beautiful colour scheme. she used to have a moustache
Chaos:
No propaganda :(

Toa Jaller Metru
Another MOC inspired by @bionicle-ramblings, @siren-darkocean and @angryraptor13's shenanigans. Jaller, the - somewhat - involuntary accomplice in Takua's various mischiefs, have finally gone and done it; he became a Toa, by accident. Still a Crafter at heart, he sports a scope-modified Great Kanohi Komau (I forgot to pain the top silver so let's assume it's actually working), and carries his trusty Crafter Hammer, as well as a modified Kanoka Launcher.
