F.A.Q

Here's a quick FAQ, which will be slowly expanded on in the future.

Q. How can I join the Discord server?

A. Click Here!

Q. Where can I reach the Community Mods?

A. If you have questions and concerns, preferably reach us via the discord server above. The Lemmy messaging system is currently not the best right now, but I am sure it'll get better with time.

Q. Where can I get Bionicle pieces and/or sets?

A. Bricklink, Brickowl, Ebay, and Craigslist(or local equivalent) are good places to look.

Q. Where can I find a specific piece?

A. All Lego pieces(save a few, insubstantial number) have ID numbers on them. Look for that number, and search for it on sites like Bricklink.

Q. How much is my set/mask worth?

A. Check with Bricklink, or join our discord. We have some collectors who could probably help you with this if you need.

Q. What are some digital designers I can use to build and design MOCs?

A. Lego's LDD, or Lego Digital Designer is a common and popular one, but does not have much variety of Bionicle parts. Stud.io, found on Bricklink, is a newer option that would be better recommended to Bionicle fans.

Death Battle released it's Tahu preview analysis, it's pretty weird.

Even though they done our boy dirty, this is still incredibly awesome and I'm so happy it exists.

The final days of Spherus Magna are approaching, how will its inhabitants weather the coming storm? Bionicle Apostates is a FAN MADE NON PROFIT mini series following a group of Magnans before The Shattering.

DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER DISCLAIMER: I had major loss of progress from the corruption so a LOT of this was unfortunately redone in the last two weeks before bionicle day. There is a visual bug with the lighting in one of the scenes that I could not for the life of me figure out, please dont crucify me.

I am 100% happy with the result but I might adjust some shots and try to fix some things in the next month and re-upload the video. Also plan on making a proper credits at the end for my DOPE voice actors. WE MADE IT TO BIONICLE DAY THOUGH!!!!!

Additional disclaimer: There is mild blood in the animation, just some impact spray nothing gratuitous but it's there.

In a time before time, on the mythical island of Okoto, the fires of the sacred Temple of Creation have been lit for a dark purpouse. Hammered with rage, melted in broken oaths and tempered by ambition, a masksmith driven by madness and envy has created an abhorrent yet powerful artifact.

Bob Thompson was the Head of Character & Story development for LEGO Media International at the time BIONICLE was first conceived, through early 2005. During that time, he was a driving force behind the shape and direction of the BIONICLE story.

In this discussion, Bob speaks about his professional background, his approach to telling a multimedia story when that was still a newer concept, and about some of the lingering mysteries from the BIONICLE stories he told.

The enhanced version of The Asterocup that was premiered on 810NICLE Day 2026! This version features an improved stereo mix, enhanced color grading, additional sound effects and 1 whole new special effect. The aim of this "special edition" was not to change or remake the film at its core, but rather realize the quality of life improvements I wanted to do all the way back in 2024 but simply never had time do originally.

Video Description:
We just got our very first look at Project Rustbound, the successor to the cancelled BIONICLE: Masks of Power, with a cinematic trailer being premiered during the 810NICLE Direct as part of this year’s #810NICLEDay celebrations.

0:00 Intro
0:09 Trailer Breakdown
0:54 Closing Thoughts

The teaser begins by showing a distant, rocky landscape as a clump of glowing blue crystals is taken over by a strange black substance before breaking into pieces. We then find ourselves in a cave where multiple symbols light up, each representing an element interacting with the environment:

fire burning trees, earth forming green crystals, water washing up on basalt shores and air kicking up a storm in an arid biome. A final one is then shown, but this one doesn’t light up. Instead, a bladed weapon and eyes appear in front of it before we lift up to reveal a bigger symbol, this time shining a light directly into the camera.

We then get sent to a beach where we can see a celestial body in the sky, likely indicating that this game takes place on a moon orbiting a planet, as well as some stairs, showing that this area is inhabited. It’s here that we also find a fallen robot that regains consciousness and gets up to see a distant structure, which looks a lot like some kind of engine. Finally, we get the logo reveal: Rustbound, in active development.

Now, as mentioned in my previous coverage of BIONICLE: Masks of Power’s cancellation, Rustbound is not based off of any existing BIONICLE lore. Instead, this is an action RPG taking place in an entirely new world, and this trailer serves as a milestone for Unmasked Games moving from the pre-production stage to full-on production, with work on the art and level design now commencing.

Though this remains a project made by a small team and, as such, updates may be scarce, but I’ll try to notify you of any future developments when they happen. In the meantime, I would highly recommend joining the game’s official Discord server and following all of its socials if you’d like to know about any news as soon as possible.

After starting the Raising the Bar Redux project for Half-Life 2, Kralich would create the first major BIONICLE Heroes mod and, now, he's about to unveil something that'll change its modding scene forever. #810NICLEDay

I'd like to introduce a project I've started that I'll hopefully continue through completion. I'm a skilled blender artist, and I want to use those skills to make the most graphically impressive mata nui I can make. I know how to texture it, model all the little Koros and fill it with foliage. I'm starting with this depth map provided by Mr Faber. It's a bit lo-res and I heard he used world machine to make it. Maybe I can find a better approach through sculpting. Here's a link to my demo reel(soundwarning): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TGbW56UFDTaohnO8qBodsnDhvxR03xQZ/view?usp=drivesdk

My work on Project Mata Nui Rising (where I contribute as an environmental artist) inspired me to also make this. I'll be making a few more cool renders with this guy, (hopefully collabing with someone who can do way better box-art). For this render I chose to copy the original set's box-art (To make the background I took the original image and crudely blotted-out the LEGO set).

I was surprised to see one of my favorite YouTube personalities make a Bionicle video. It does not disappoint.
