>>11092171Nobody has ever wanted the sci-fi aspect of Bionicle to be removed. Obviously it was intended from the start.
A lot of fans just preferred the natural setting and how it defined Bionicle’s visual identity compared to the mechanical planets and futuristic cities in every other toy robot line ever made.
If Tahu’s name was “Pyrotron” or “Crasher”, it would’ve sucked Transformer dick. The Polynesien aesthetic might not have sold the toys to parents just buying a robot for their kids, but it held interest to the kids who actually cared
Btw I just got this poster from 2001. Is it worth anything?
