Little Coloured Bricks

Warning Lego fans this is not your usual Lego. The bionicle, a transformer-like Lego vehicle uses different unique parts that are not included in other Lego lines. And there are no minifigs, call that shocking. The bionicle much better described as robot-looking Lego are the main characters of the said line.

Some claim that the bionicle is just too simple unlike the other collections since it only has very few parts per figure. In defense of the robot ala transformer, the bionicle has a very complex history. You can take a look at its colorful history in video games, comic books and even novels. In fact, the bionicle is so complex that there is a need for its own encyclopedia to know what it is all about. You may take a look at this encyclopedia at www.bionicle.wikia.com.

The Bionicle or Biological Chronicle is a story about bio-mechanical beings. The story lasting for thousands of years in the planet Aqua Magna –a planet divided into different civilizations and climate. The story mainly revolved around the Toa and the Matoran. Most creatures in the world of bionicle wore masks they called Kanohi that give them super powers. These powers were used both for destructive and constructive purposes. The bionicle vehicles we now know of today just come from one species. In fact there are many other types of bionicles i.e. the Toa, Warrior, Mistika, Glatorian, Matoran, Heroes, Villains, Legends, Rahi, machines, Barraki, and Hydruka.

Bionicle Tidbits
