[[LEGO]]'s (surprisingly in-depth) [[Merchandise-Driven]] storyline, originally based on its pre-existing ''LEGO Technic'' line. Featuring (Bio-)[[Mechanical Lifeforms]] in a [[Schizo-Tech]] universe, the story mainly concerns the conflict between the followers of the [[Physical God]] Mata Nui and the forces of the [[Big Bad]] Makuta.

== Series-Wide Tropes ==
* [[The Abridged Series]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNx-zQDXRY4 this video] puts the 2001 to 2010 plot in under 2 minutes.
Line 117 ⟶ 118:
* [[Only Six Faces]]: Thanks to the fact that Lego reuses parts often. Very extreme in ''Chronicles'', were everyone had one of twelve masks. It was gradually being averted as the series went on (especially in ''Legends'' where we met more communities of Matoran with different masks), but never completely got free. Bara Magna had a similar problem.
** This is even more hilarious if you consider that all of the "faces" are actually masks; Matoran, Toa and even Makuta possibly ALL have the exact same face. Ditto goes for almost all the residents of Bara Magna. Averted with everything else, since they usually have heads constructed of generic LEGO elements rather than a mask (subverted in the case of Hydraxon and Maxilos, who's faces are actually mask pieces, but are explicitly stated to be their actual faces, and Toa Ignika, who's whole existence is only a mask to begin with).
* [[Parodic Table of the Elements]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104153705/http://www.russellwalks.com/PTOIElarge.html The Periodic Table of Imaginary Elements] has Antidermis, Exsidian, and Protodermis in it.
* [[Replacement Goldfish]]: Botar's replacement is one.
* [[The Resolution Will Not Be Televised|This Resolution Will Only Be Televised]]: occasionally happens in the comics because they can't cover movie material.
Line 498 ⟶ 499:
* [[Field Power Effect]]: in Karda Nui, where beings of [[Light'Em Up|Light]] grow larger than normal.
* [[Final Battle]]: basically the 2008 storyline was called this, and it was part of the title of a comic and a book.
* [[Flanderization]]: Vezon went from a creepy and insane [[The Lord of the Rings|Gollum-esque]] villain at the end of the Voya Nui arc to a [[Cloudcuckoolander]] in Karda Nui-era web serials.
** It's warranted, though. He lost the Mask of Life and pretty much any other power he had. He's smart enough to know that he doesn't have nearly as much of an advantage as he had, so he is likely to be at least partly [[Obfuscating Stupidity]].
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: ''twice'' in a single book to a corrupted Toa Takanuva in ''Legends''
