This site includes up-to-date information from the 'Ask Greg' section of the TTV forums.I hope to make it more approachable to people who are new to the BIONICLE universe. I don't claim to be a particularly good writer, but I think in some places it is an improvement.As far as I know, BS01's policies are not expected to change any time soon. When this site starts to incorporate images into the encyclopedia, I plan to use images of the LEGO sets as much as possible, but I also have plans to allow users to adjust their settings so that images from a particular medium are shown (sets, comics, movies, games, etc.). They also tend to crop images so that only a particular character in question is shown, down to the very pixel, which in my opinion is unsightly. BS01 tends to use artwork from comics as the main images for articles, even when the quality of the artwork is not very good and there are much better images available. BS01's policies about images have always seemed a little odd to me.

The timelines on BS01 are very brief, whereas the timelines on this site are far longer and more comprehensive.This site is for everyone, and I do not want to dismiss a particular version of canon simply because it does not jibe with my head-canon. In fact, my general policy is that wherever two sources disagree, both of them are to be included on the site, rather than arbitrarily choosing one of them. I have taken special care to remain as close to the source material as possible and to remain agnostic about what should and should not be considered canon.On the Great Archives, I have fastidiously added citations to source material on this site from the beginning. This issue is especially important now that tracking down source material is more difficult following the loss of the BZPower forums up to 2011. However, much of the content on BS01 was inherited from a time when editors could add unverified material without adding references. In recent years, the BS01 staff have done a remarkable job of adding citations to its articles.That said, I think this project has some advantages: Nope, BS01 is great! The primary reason this site exists is because I enjoy making it, and you can read more about my motivations for creating the site in this blog post. Do we really need another BIONICLE reference site? My Twitter account is We already have the BS01 wiki.

I go by the name Planetperson in the Bionicle community. Since so much of the BIONICLE storyline is scattered across various media and obscure forum posts, we put special emphasis on including links to source material in the encyclopedia and timeline and making it easy to link to specific quotes in the Greg Farshtey archive.

It includes an expansive BIONICLE encyclopedia (currently under construction), a detailed timeline of events in the BIONICLE storyline (also under construction), and a large, searchable archive of online conversations between BIONICLE author Greg Farshtey and BIONICLE fans, which has become an important source of background lore for BIONICLE. Currently still under construction, this site is ultimately meant to serve as a comprehensive guide to the BIONICLE mythos for old and new fans alike.

Players are able to upgrade weapons throughout the game, starting with the Toa Mata’s tools before upgrading to the Toa Metru’s tools and finally the Toa Inika’s tools armor and special abilities can also be upgraded.The Great Archives is a website dedicated to documenting the lore behind the LEGO Group's BIONICLE theme (specifically, the first generation of BIONICLE that lasted from 2001 to 2010). After completing a level, points collected can also be used to purchase items and upgrades from the in-game Lego Shop. Collecting enough points fills a meter and activates “Hero Mode”, turning the character golden and giving invincibility as well as an offensive boost. Collecting a mask also restores health, even if it is one the character already has.ĭuring gameplay, players collect Lego pieces with different point values.

Players can switch between any collected masks at will, but if they run out of health the current mask is lost and a new one must be found before the character can become that Toa again. The hero is able to wear the masks of the Toa Inika in order to take on their appearances and powers. Players control an anonymous hero out to stop the evil Piraka, who have used the power of the Mask of Life to transform the wildlife of the island of Voya Nui into aggressive, evil creatures.
