>>10467694Bionicle can be good without half the part count being dedicated to highly specialized technic molds that are only for the current set of 6 Bionicles.
Gen 1 Bionicle was the best technic theme ever by far.
Gen 2 Bionicle, especially the uniters, were the best CCBS figures ever developed and it's not even close, their literal only competition is General Grievous and Darth Vader and they still show both of them up.
If a Gen 3 Bionicle happens in system it will also become one of the best system lines of all time. System figures like the ones in Creator 3 in 1 have gotten to the point that I'd honestly argue they surpass an awful lot of Bionicles in quality, my 3 in 1 Dragon has an insane amount of detail and articulation without a single specialized mold.
I also (unfortunately) don't think going back to Technic Bionicle in Lego's current era is at all possible. They have moved away from the specialized mold entirely, a big premium set or whole wave of a line might receive like 1-5 molds and those molds proceed to get repurposed into fucking everything. A set of Toa demands 12 between weapons and masks. And god forbid if they tried to do technic without specialized body parts without introducing a line of all-purpose technic constraction body pieces, it'll look awful. I love the Rahi for nostalgia but the Rahi are all horribly designed messes and show off exactly what happens when you try to build with all-purpose technic, no one can tell what animal any of them are, Pewku has 4 tubes to denote that he's supposed to be round, it's a mess.
If Lego and the fanbase both have faith in Bionicle (Lego company lets a comic run or lets the og writers continue the original lore and doesn't dumb it down massively like Gen 2 and then bury it in marketing, fans ACTUALLY give it a fucking chance and are open to the idea a different approach to Bionicle could be good/fun/enjoyable) then I think a system line of Bionicles could run a whole decade like the original did.
