* [[Crowning Music of Awesome]]: A lot of the music used in the commercials, such as "''Caught Up In A Dream''", "''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKyCFx2UGH4 Move Along]''", "''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PqLy1tgyphw&feature=relmfu Creeping In My Soul]''", "''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sDnR3oJLdU&feature=player_embedded Gravity Hurts]''", and "''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sx2qhcVqko8&feature=player_embedded Bye Bye Babylon]''".
** Watched the end credits of "The Legend Reborn" lately? It ends the movie with an epic piece by Presence known as "''Ride''".
** Those are nothing. The soundtrack of the ''Mata Nui Online Game'' is often praised as '''The''' definitive ''[[Bionicle]]'' soundtrack, and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQmoLlVKr-M for] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2fw0v53jVQ&feature=related a] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUU8ieu0MRQ good] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66y6m_epjbU&feature=related reason].

Line 24:
* [[I Am Not Shazam]]: The characters are not "Bionicles".
* [[I Knew It!]]: {{spoiler|That the Matoran lived ''inside'' Mata Nui was a long discussed-rumor before finally being confirmed at the end of the Matoran saga.}}
* [[Jumping the Shark]]: This is a dodgy subject. Many people say that the series jumped it after 2009-2010's [[Doing
** The fact that the comic books have been steadily getting shorter with each story arc, and that the comics themselves began ending with cliffhangers that were resolved in tie-in movies and books certainly didn't help.
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Makuta Teridax; especially after the end of the Matoran saga. The below quote actually does him justice on this matter.
Line 38:
* [[The Problem with Licensed Games]]: ''BIONICLE: The Game'' and ''BIONICLE Heroes'' suffer from this, the latter going all the way to [[They Just Didn't Care]] considering there's three bosses that are canonically dead and one that's actually supposed to be good. Then again, the developers of ''Heroes''' say their case was deliberate, believing that by going past the limits of canon, they can make a more fun game
** Partially subverted in that ''Heroes'' was still fairly enjoyable (especially the DS version, which is basically similar to ''[[Metroid Prime]] Hunters'') despite being canon rape, and fully subverted with the GBA RPG ''Maze of Shadows'', a direct video game adaptation of one of the chapter books.
* [[Same Character but Different]]: As a result of [[Conflict Ball]], some of the characters in the movies have suffered this, but none more so than Takua/Takanuva. Before the first movie, he was potrayed as adventurous, if a bit unsteady, but ultimately [[Guile Hero|a resourceful]] and very heroic character. In the movie, the "unsteady" part [[Flanderization|suddenly became "irresponsible"]] and at the same time [[Took a Level In Dumbass|lost all of his resourcefulness]] and selfless heroism, becoming almost a full-fledged [[The Load|load]] until the last act or so.
** A less [[Egregious]], but still notable example would be Vakama in the third film. In the previous movie, he had constant insecurities with his role as a Toa and the leader, but [[Character Development|eventually grew more confident and became the hero he was meant to be]]. Apparently in between the third and the second film, he became ''so confident'' that he pulled a brief [[Face Heel Turn]] because [[Conflict Ball|one of his team mates questioned his leadership]].
* [[The Scrappy]]: The Toa Inika designs are widely disliked by the fans, mostly because of the hideous masks and the flat, unoriginal designs (that have been used for every other character since).
** The Bohrok-Kal have it even worse, being [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]] of characters that were ''already'' [[Palette Swap|Palette Swaps]] of each other. Note in both cases, the trope only applies to the toys and not the story characters.
