Exactly how does [[Bionicle|a line of action figures]] [[Built With Lego|owned by]] [[LEGO]] manage [[Long Runners|to last for 10 Years]]? By being having [[

== 2001: Quest for the Masks ==
Line 16:
** Made even better with extended comic canon. After Ta-Koro, three Rahkshi took down Tahu, Gali and Lewa and trapped Onua and Pohatu in a cave full of krana. Kopaka then finds himself facing all six, taking down two solo before backup arrives.
* There's also {{spoiler|Jaller's [[Heroic Sacrifice]]}} in [[The Movie]] when Takua is under attack by Rahkshi Turahk. He does so by {{spoiler|literally clinging onto his staff and absorbing all the fear energy from his attack}}. Nothing says brave like {{spoiler|hanging on as pure fear is being pumped into you}}.
* Need I say: {{spoiler|The Birth of Takanuva}} from the [[Bionicle]] film, ''The Mask of Light''. To elaborate, {{spoiler|Takua just lost his friend to Rahkshi Turahk and remembers him saying, "You know who you are". He then realizes who he is, shifts his [[Expressive Mask|expression]] from one of grief to one of boldness and determination, dons the Mask of Light, and becomes the very Toa of Light he was searching for. After christening himself as Takanuva, he then one-shots Turahk and finishes revealing the hidden statue of himself as the [[Herald]] before [[Action Film, Quiet Drama Scene|going off to mourn Jaller]].}}
* What, no mention of the epic Takanuva vs Makuta battle? Teridax mockingly challenges him to a game of deadly kolhii, which Takanuva wins. Then, when Teridax gets back up, {{spoiler|Takanuva jumps on him and wrenches the Mask of Shadows off the Makuta's face, sending them toppling back into a pool of energized protodermis, fusing them together. Oh, and Takanuva ends up in control of that fusion. He's fused with the mind of the big bad himself, who had intricate plans within plans comprised over thousands of years, and Takanuva out-willpowered him.}}
** The awesomeness is a little undermined by the later revelation that Teridax intentionally lost that fight to keep the Toa off his back for a while.
Line 32:
== 2006: Voya Nui: Island of Doom ==
* The battle between Axonn and Brutaka at the end of the Voya Nui saga. After spending the entire arc just barely surviving and guiding the new Toa toward their destiny, Axonn finally realizes he isn't able to turn Brutaka back from the path he's walking and shrugs off everything his former friend throws at him. Even hopped up on Antidermis (which is the ''essence of Teridax,''), Axonn doesn't even flinch. He also has one of the best lines in the series during this fight:
{{quote|
Axonn: "Don't you realize? Those are the only kind worth fighting for." }}
Line 40:
** Said sacrifice also burning out the eye sockets of three Makuta with the glow from the process, as if {{spoiler|reviving the Great Spirit wasn't enough.}}
** And just before he goes, {{spoiler|Matoro}} calms himself with ''the'' [[Badass Boast]]. Very few lines will ever beat the sheer awesome of:

== 2008: Karda Nui: The [[Final Battle]] ==
* The Toa Hagah, in one of their first actions after being transformed back from the Rahaga, stop a massive kaiju battle between Tahtorak and the Kanohi Dragon. In reference, it took a team of eleven Toa, including Lhikan, Nidhiki, Tuyet, and four Toa of Ice, to take down the Kanohi Dragon alone the last time it rampaged. ''Kualus disabled it singlehandedly.''
* Takanuva gets repeated ones against the Makuta in Karda Nui. On more than one occasion, the darkness he got infected with influences him to get ''seriously'' pissed off against them, and he may well have killed them all singlehandedly had the other Toa not been present to calm him down.
{{quote|
* Onua has a rather big number of these, oftentimes Big Damn Heroes-worthy. Of particular note is curbstomping Gorast when the Makuta is on the verge of murdering Gali, then doing it again when Gorast tries to lure him over to the dark side.
** Another moment for the Toa of Earth is when the Nuva learn they must {{spoiler|awaken the Bahrag, and in turn the Bohrok,}} as part of the preparations for awakening Mata Nui. While the rest of the team is unsure about the task, it's Onua who steps up to the plate and {{spoiler|releases the Bahrag,}} saying that he did what was necessary -- after all, nobody ever said the path to the future would be an easy one.
