Line 56:
* [[Character Blog]]: Some web serials.
* [[Colony Drop]]: First when [[Minor Major Character|Mata Nui]] crashes onto Aqua Magna thanks to [[Big Bad|Makuta]], then {{spoiler|[[Big Bad|Makuta]] finds himself, while controlling Mata Nui's original body, on the receiving end when [[Karmic Death|Aqua Magna returns the favor.]]}}
* [[Color Coded for Your Convenience]]: Every major group has members colored {{color|red|
* [[Contest Winner Cameo]] / [[Official Fan Submitted Content]]: Lego ''loves'' these kinds of contests. The most notable winning entries are Toa Krakua and Tahtorak.
* [[Crapsack World]]: Bara Magna after The Shattering split Spherus Magna. It got better after Mata Nui's restoration.
Line 67:
* [[Earth Drift]]: Of a sort, related to [[Doing in The Wizard]] above. The franchise was never set anywhere close to Earth, but the first few years were very influenced by Polynesian themes (set on a tropical island, everyone wears tiki-like masks, actual Maori terms were used, etc). Part of it was legally mandated (see "[[Meaningful Name]]" in the Matoran section), but the theme was pretty much lost by the time they found a lost city [[Beneath the Earth]].
** Arguably, also inverted with the relatively much less alien Bara Magna setting, which featured such Earth-inspired themes as characters ''wearing'' armor ([[Twenty Four Hour Armor|as opposed to having it be part of their bodies]]), having romantic relationships, or eating with their mouths.<ref>To be fair, there is a line in the fourth ''Chronicles'' book about Onua and Whenua having a meal, but this is the only instance of non-Rahi characters eating in the Matoran Universe.</ref>
* [[Elemental Nation]]: Mata Nui and Metru Nui were divided into seven regions, six of which corresponded to each element of Fire, {{color|blue|
* [[Expy]]: Agori and Glatorian are basically powerless versions of [[Hobbits|Matoran]] and [[Magic Knights|Toa]] (in-universe, it's the other way around)
** According to [[Word of God|Greg Farshtey]], he based Barraki Takadox's personality on a character named East from one of his earlier novels.
Line 608:
* [[Barbarian Tribe]]: the Bone Hunters
* [[Bavarian Fire Drill]]: The novelization suggests that this is part of the reason the Agori traitor is able to take control after [[Evil Overlord|Tuma's]] defeat; the Skrall are so panicked by the thing attacking them that they'll listen to anyone giving orders.
* [[Beam O War]]: occurs between [[The Big Guy|Kiina]] and [[The Lancer|Ackar]] using their new [[Elemental Powers]] of {{color|blue|
* [[Beware My Stinger Tail]]: A promotional description for the [[Scary Scorpions|Vorox]] is the [[Trope Namer]].
* [[Big Bad]]: [[Evil Overlord|Rock tribe leader Tuma]] was this before Makuta asserted himself. The Element Lords were going to be [[Big Bad|Big Bads]] before their story arc was scrapped. There are a few new bad guys emerging since Makuta's defeat, but so far none are ascending to ''Big'' Bad.
