{{quote|''Gathered friends, listen again to our legend of the BIONICLE...'' |Turaga Vakama}}
[[LEGO]]'s (surprisingly in-depth) [[Merchandise
The story is told through comics (Published by [[DC Comics]] that hit the high points of the story), a book series (that goes in-depth), [[Web Serial Novel|Web Serials]] (side stories), and the occasional [[Direct to Video]] movie (by <ref> the original trilogy</ref>, <ref> ''The Legend Reborn''</ref> and [[Wang]]/CGCG<ref> with both [[Miramax Films]] and [[Universal]] as distributors</ref>). There are also a few beginning reader books, unimportant side stories designed to deliver [[An Aesop]].
Line 13:
* ''BIONICLE Adventures'': While the Matoran prepare to return to Metru Nui, tales are told of when Mata Nui fell asleep, showing how Metru Nui became lost. Each half included a movie, ''Legends of Metru Nui'' and ''Web of Shadows''.
* ''BIONICLE Legends'': The Turaga have discovered that Mata Nui isn't just asleep, but that he's been dying. The Toa Nuva prepare for his final awakening, but first a new team of heroes must save his life first. However, it's revealed that Makuta has been running an [[Evil Plan]] the whole time that may ensure his ultimate victory. No movies for this one.
In the end, the Toa Nuva finally wake up Mata Nui - allowing Makuta to commit [[Grand Theft Me]] and [[A God Am I|usurp the Great Spirit]], sealing Mata Nui's spirit into the [[Soul Jar|Mask of Life]] and exiling it into space. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job Waking It, Heroes.]]
The story then picks up on the [[Crapsack World|wasteland world]] of Bara Magna, where tribes of [[Badass Normal|Glatorian]] and [[Hobbits|Agori]] compete in [[Gladiator Games]] for scarce resources. [[Minor Major Character|Mata Nui]] lands there and ends up making friends and uniting the tribes while he tries to find his way home. There was one movie called ''The Legend Reborn'', while a web serial kept tabs on the Matoran.
Line 24:
=== Bionicle is the [[Trope Namer]] for: ===
* [[Beware My Stinger Tail]], [[Beam Me Up, Scotty|but the actual quote was slightly different]].
----
Line 34:
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: The movies, which seem to be partially aimed at a wider audience, especially the first one.
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The movie novelizations can get into the heads of the characters, better explaining their motivations and providing links to continuity that doesn't appear in the movies. See [[All There in the Manual]] below.
** Oddly enough, however, the movie "Web of Shadows", the novelization of the movie, [[
** The plot differences between the books and the comics are common and generally glossed over.
* [[All Deaths Final]]: There ''are'' a handful of [[Only Mostly Dead]] guys (see Matoran sections), but all those had special circumstances and everyone else who dies stays dead.
Line 66:
** [[The Chris Carter Effect]]: [http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?app=blog&module=display§ion=blog&blogid=26&showentry=87217 Referred to by Greg as "Sizzle and Steak"] as to why things changed - you may lose something in the explanation, but you have to explain things ''sometime''.
* [[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 ([[
* [[Elemental Nation]]: Mata Nui and Metru Nui were divided into seven regions, six of which corresponded to each element of Fire, {{color|blue|Water}}, Air, Earth, Stone and Ice (the seventh was a central neutral zone). Bara Magna has all the trappings of this, but nobody actually has innate elemental powers.
* [[Expy]]: Agori and Glatorian are basically powerless versions of [[Hobbits|Matoran]] and [[Magic Knights|Toa]] (in-universe, it's the other way around)
Line 73:
*** More likely [[Silver Age]] [[The Joker|Joker]].
*** Somebody noticed the resemblance, as seen in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rJrq9-U90YY this video]
* [[Family
** {{spoiler|Zaktan}} was also blown to oblivion by {{spoiler|then-god Makuta}}.
* [[Fandom Nod]]
Line 79:
** [[Abnormal Ammo]]: [[Deadly Disc|Kanoka and Bamboo Disks]], Solidified Air Bubbles, Sea Squids
*** [[Edible Ammunition]]: Madu and Thornax (types of explosive fruit)
** [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: Midak Skyblasters, Nynrah Ghost Blasters (Adaptive Armor type)
** [[The Lethal Connotation of Guns and Others]]: Again, no guns, but rocket launchers are permitted. Both settings also have explosive ''fruit''.
* [[Fantastic Fruits and Vegetables]]: Bula (berries that restore energy), Madu (explosive coconuts), and Thornax (spiky, sometimes explosive, fruit).
* [[Fictionary]]
* [[Five
* [[Full Set Bonus]]: The Golden Armor.
* [[Genre Busting]]: It has magical epic fantasy, cyber-city sci-fi, plenty of action (both regarding the usage of special powers, or plain hand-to-hand combat), a [[Cosmic Horror Story]] or two, war tales, crime and mystery, western-ish [[Desert Punk]], some mild philosophizing, tells moral fables, and showcases various kinds of humor (sarcastic and dry verbal jokes, or visual [[Slapstick]]). Comes in the form of plastic toys, comic books and novels, 2D and 3D animations and [[Direct to Video]] movies, and its music ranges from rock and techno mixes of varying hardness to orchestral choirs, tribal drums and hums and almost rural-sounding chimes.
Line 111:
* [[No Blood for Phlebotinum]]: One of these wars is what led to the Shattering and what started this whole mess.
* [[No Flow in CGI]]: Well, all the characters ''are'' robots, for all intents and purposes.
* [[No Hugging, No Kissing]]: [[Handwaved]] for [[Hobbits|Matoran]], at least, by the fact that they're mechanical beings with no need of romance for reproduction purposes. There was a Hewkii/Macku pairing and some Jaller/Hahli teasing in the flash cartoons of ''Chronicles'', though they ended up being dropped as a result of this [[Trope]] taking effect. Note: this [[Trope]] has not stopped [[Shipping|shippers]] in the ''slightest''. (Does anything really?)
** [[Promoted to Love Interest]]: The ''Adventures'' movies have [[Butt Monkey|Toa Matau]] flirting a bit with Toa Nokama and [[Manipulative Bastard|Sidorak]] offering a marriage proposal to [[The Baroness|Roodaka]] (the latter is [[Handwaved]] that "marriage", here, is just a politically-motivated civil union).
** [[Ship Tease]]: The last novel throws one in for good measure: [[Action Girl]] [[The Big Guy|Kiina]] hugs [[Minor Major Character|Mata Nui]] and tells him that he shouldn't make her cry {{spoiler|just before he places his spirit into the Prototype Robot and goes to fight [[Big Bad|Makuta]] alone}}. Of course, given the [[No Hugging, No Kissing]] rule, it's officially [[Platonic Life Partners|wholly friendly and platonic]], but it's also not hard to think it would've been written a bit differently if the series wasn't already canceled by that time.
* [[No Pronunciation Guide]]: Several; for example, is "Lewa" Leh-wa or Lee-wa and is "Onewa" Oh-new-uh, Oh-neh-wah, or Oh-nee-wah? And "Jaller" doesn't use an "er" sound, it's supposed to follow the original spelling of "Jala". (The ''BIONICLE Encyclopedias'' do include pronunciations, but variations are still out there. For the record, ''Mask of Light'' puts the example names as Lee-wa and On-uh-wa)
* [[Off
* [[Only One Name]]: Pretty much everybody except Tren Krom and Mata Nui. In Tren Krom's case, that's probably to highlight his [[Cosmic Horror|other-ness]].
* [[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.
Line 231:
* [[Mordor]]: the realm of Karzahni
* [[No Name Given]]: Makuta until about the end, "The Shadowed One".
* [[Non
* [[Oh My Gods]] / [[Thank the Maker]]: Mata Nui is invoked occasionally
{{quote| '''Nuhrii:''' Mata Nui protect us!}}
Line 237:
** "Makuta" and "the Makuta" also sounds confusing, but there's a reason for it: it's a title, and one character prefers the title to his actual name. It's like a group of Dukes, one of which likes being called "Duke".
** Also averted when it comes to soundalikes; the series includes characters named Krekka, Krahka, Krakua, and Krika.
* [[One
* [[Our Souls Are Different]]: Disembodied spirits (including the Makuta's energy forms) can possess robots or soulless-but-still-alive bodies. Makuta can dispossess their bodies at will, but others need to use [[Applied Phlebotinum]] (like a Mask of Spirit). And souls depart to whatever afterlife at death, but the death can be reversed and the soul restored if done quick enough {{spoiler|(though woe to you if some other soul gets to your body before you do!)}}
* [[Patchwork Map]]: the islands of Mata Nui and Voya Nui
Line 259:
* [[Weaksauce Weakness]]: A Toa's power is halved if they lose their mask, and Matoran eventually shut down if they lose theirs.
* [[We Will Use Wiki Words in The Future]]: Air Matoran "treespeak"/"chutespeak" slang
* [[What Happened to The Mouse?]]: Minor characters from past arcs don't usually get mentioned in new story material.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart Anyway]]?: Toa of Water tend to get stuck with limited-use Mask Powers. (Though the water powers are of course still good, which probably makes this more [[Flight Strength Heart]].)
** Averted and even inverted in Mahri Nui, as Toa Hahli had a Mask of Kindred that let her copy abilities of animals. Since she was quite knowledgeable about sea creatures and what they could do, she used this mask to great effect.
Line 279:
** The entrances to the Temple of Courage and Temple of Creation in the ''Mata Nui Online Game II''.
* [[Changeling Fantasy]]: everyone, audience included, thought that Takua was part of the Fire tribe - until he became a Toa of ''Light'' (even then, there's enough [[Phlebotinum]] thrown around that him originally being a Fire character was a possibility, until we learned that a tribe of Light did exist)
** [[Moses in The
* [[Creation Sequence]]: The formation of the [[Fusion Dance|Toa Kaita]] in the ''Mata Nui Online Game'' and ''The Legend of Mata Nui''.
* "[[Did You Actually Believe]] I would let them return to their homes?" (Makuta in ''Mask of Light'', after Takanuva summoned the Matoran to his lair)
Line 312:
{{quote| '''Kopaka''': ''Your Turaga speaks in riddles. I hate riddles.''<br />
'''Various''': ''Tunnels. Why does it always have to be tunnels?'' }}
* [[Laser
* [[Levitating Lotus Position]]: Gali has a similar pose to this while meditating in the first movie, managing to levitate despite not having psychic powers of any sort, other than telepathy between herself and Takua.
** While this troper is sure you could explain it away with something like "there was water in the air and she used that...", the Bionicleverse tends stop a little bit short of that much detail. It could be a [[Applied Phlebotinum|function of the shrine]], but it's probably just there to emphasize that [[The Smurfette Principle|Gali]] is the [[The Chick|wise]] Toa, and when you have a [[Elemental Powers|magic]] [[Cyborg]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|who uses magic]], wisdom-is-power has to be over-the-top to be even noticeable. [[Rule of Cool|That said, it was probably just because it was cool]].
Line 319:
** A lot of the Matorans' names in ''Mata Nui Online Game 2'' were foreign words that were in the theme of the place they were in (example: in Ko-Koro, names meant things like winter and snow). At least Hungarian, Finnish, Chinese and Czech words were used.
** [[My Nayme Is]]: some of the source words got changed to alternate spellings: "Jala" to "Jaller", "Huki" to "Hewkii", "Hali" to "Hahli", "Maku" to "Macku", "Puku" to "Pewku", "Koli" to "Kolhii"
* [[Mid
* [[Mind Control Device]]: infected Kanohi Masks and Krana when worn.
* [[Mix and Match Critters]]: the Rahi Nui, a creature that combines elements from several Rahi species: [[A Load of Bull|the head of a Kane-Ra bull]], [[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|the arms of a Tarakava lizard]], [[Cats Are Mean|the body of a Muaka panther]], [[Beware My Stinger Tail|the stinger of a Nui-Jaga scorpion]], and [[Good Wings Evil Wings|enlarged wings from a Nui-Rama wasp]].
Line 368:
* [[The Worf Effect]]: Three Toa merge into Toa Kaita Wairuha and corner three Bohrok-Kal. The bug-monsters fuse into their own giant monster which proceeds to kick Wairuha's butt in five seconds.
** [[Worf Had the Flu]]: The Bohrok had already neutralized the Toas' elemental powers, leaving both the individual Toa and their fused form at a disadvantage.
* [[Yin
Line 390:
* [[Devour the Dragon]]: Makuta does this to Nidhiki and Krekka
* [[Discontinuity Nod]]: Rahaga Kualus insists that "Gukko" is the incorrect name for some bird species and may even be an insult in their language (the original names got retconned out due to legal issues).
* [[Don't Think, Feel]]: How Turaga Lhikan trains Toa Whenua, Nuju, and Onewa to use their mask powers.
* [[Essence Drop]]: Amana Volo spheres
* [[
* [[Exploring the Evil Lair]]: Onewa Hordika finds one of Makuta's lairs in the Visorak arc.
* [[Eyepatch of Power]]: Like Kopaka, Toa Nuju has an eyepiece on his masks.
Line 406:
* [[I Know You Are in There Somewhere Fight]]: Toa Matau to Toa Vakama during the Visorak invasion
* [[In the Future We Still Have Roombas]]: Fire Drones from ''Legends of Metru Nui.''
* [[Laser
* [[Leeroy Jenkins]]: Toa Vakama upon becoming a [[Failure Knight]].
* [[Lotus Eater Machine]]: Happened to Toa Vakama.
* [[Melee a Trois]]: Toa Vakama vs. Makuta vs. the Shadowed One and his bodyguard in the final book
* [[Mid
* [[Missed the Call]]: Subverted with the Toa Metru.
* [[The Mockbuster]]: There were several instances of a bootleg line called "Invincibility Robot", which often featured toys that different quite a bit from the packaging, which were ripped straight from the Bionicle toys. There was also "SOLDIER", which included the Rahaga with oddly-shaped [[Star Wars|Darth Vader]] heads and a barely functional spinner launcher.
Line 435:
* [[Video Game Settings]]: Metru Nui is both [[Tomorrowland]] and [[Capital City]], with each district taking on elements of one of Mata Nui's regions
* [[Wall Crawl]]: a Vahki Rorzarkh climbs the wall of an Archives loading area in a promotional animation.
* [[What the Hell, Hero?]]: Toa Vakama, over his [[Leeroy Jenkins]] actions.
* [[Whole Episode Flashback]]: the entirety of ''Adventures''
* [[You Have Failed Me]]: One of the Shadowed One's Dark Hunters has the specific task of killing any Hunter that fails its mission, and take up the mission himself.
Line 467:
* [[Big Bad Wannabe]]: The Piraka. Yes, they're considered the main villains for an arc, but they got put in their place ''real'' fast.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Onua arriving just in time to give Tahu and crew back up against a group of Exo-Toa in "Reign of Shadows".
** {{spoiler|During Makuta's reign, Artakha manages to intervene right before [[Knight Templar|Toa Helryx]] tries to destroy the universe in order to stop him before showing up in person to [[What the Hell, Hero?|berate her for her methods.]]}}
* [[Boxed Crook]]: in "Federation of Fear" and other Karda Nui web serials
* [[Brainwashed]]: the Voya Nui Matoran by Antidermis.
Line 485:
* [[Death By Irony]]: Makuta Mutran thinks of a way to try and control Karda Nui's energy storm, only to be zapped to dust after declaring he figured it out.
* [[Designated Girl Fight]]: Gali vs Gorast in the Swamp of Secrets.
* [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?]]: Brutally subverted with {{spoiler|Carapar}}, who tries to kill the [[HP Lovecraft|Lovecraft]] [[Shout Out]] Tren Krom and gets disintegrated by the thing's [[Eye Beam]] before his attack even hits.
* [[Doing in The Wizard]]: At the end of ''Legends'', a number of mythological aspects got explained away. The biggest one is that Mata Nui, revered as a mystical [[Physical God]] by the Matoran, was actually {{spoiler|a giant robot that they lived inside.}} About the only things that didn't were the Great Beings - we learned more about them here and on Bara Magna, but they're still mysterious [[Precursors]].
* [[Don't Celebrate Just Yet]]: the Toa Nuva return from Karda Nui to Metru Nui to celebrate Mata Nui's awakening ... only to find out they were [[Unwitting Pawn|Unwitting Pawns]] in Makuta's Plan, meaning Makuta has [[Grand Theft Me|taken over Mata Nui's body]].
Line 497:
* [[Evilutionary Biologist]]: Every last Makuta has at least a little background in creature creation, as that was their original job; with Chirox and Mutran still focusing on it.
* [[Exploring the Evil Lair]]: The Piraka doing this is what starts all the trouble.
* [[Field Power Effect]]: in Karda Nui, where beings of [[Light
* [[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 [[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''
** [[If You Kill Him You Will Be Just Like Him]] is cited during one of these.
* [[Getting Smilies Painted On Your Soul]]: the first Toa of Psionics, Orde, was created by the Great Beings to do something like this to the Zyglak. Unfortunately, due to Orde's violent temper, he made them in an [[Unstoppable Rage]]. Thus, the Great Beings made the rest of the Toa of Psionics female from then on.
Line 529:
** Probably not, since it actually DOES something. I'd say that the Vahi fits this a lot more.
* [[Melee a Trois]]: the Mahri Nui portion, with five different sides.
* [[Mid
* [[Mirror Morality Machine]]: Shadow Leeches used by the Makuta turn victims evil. Fortunately, they can be cured by a [[Brown Note|Klakk's scream]].
* [[Missed the Call]]: {{spoiler|[[Word of God]] suggests Makuta was destined to replace the Great Spirit at some point, but he did it at the wrong time for the wrong reasons.}}
Line 535:
* [[More Teeth Than the Osmond Family]]: Botar, Fenrakk/Kardas, Gadunka, and ANY Skakdi
* [[Morph Weapon]]: the Toa Nuva's Adaptive Armor
* [[Narrative Profanity Filter]]: Used for the Piraka, like when Avak flips Reidak out of a boat. His response is strongly implied to be the Matoran version of a [[Cluster F
* [[Neck Lift]]: Kalmah does this to Jaller with his [[Combat Tentacles|tentacle]], although this is done underwater.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|Nice Job]] [[Just for Pun|Waking]] [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|It, Heroes]] In the Toa Nuva's defense, there's no way in Karzanhi they could have known that {{spoiler|Makuta had already [[Grand Theft Me|placed himself in control of Mata Nui's body]] so that all he had to do was wait for the Toa to reactivate it}}.
* [[Noodle Incident]]: ''Invasion'', a canceled (but still canon) ''Legends'' book bridging Voya Nui and Mahri Nui. We know it involved a [[Body Snatcher]] plot and Vezon.
* [[Not So Different]]: Makuta to Toa Matoro in ''Legends''
Line 552:
* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: any villain group of six that aren't [[Mooks]]; the Piraka and Barraki are the best examples. They might also qualify as [[The Psycho Rangers]].
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: All American Reject's song "Move Along" was used as the theme for the Toa Inika. There was even a non-canon [[Alternate Reality Game]] with the storyline of the band being kidnapped by the Piraka.
** [[Isn't It Ironic?]]: "Move Along" is about talking someone out of suicide - not very appropriate for a preteen franchise.
*** The song can be interpreted as not giving up in the face of adversity, so it kind of works in that way given the situation in their miniverse when the Inika stepped up.
* [[Rocket Ride]]: the Codrex vehicles
Line 569:
* [[Soul Jar]]: the Mask of Life is one for Mata Nui at the end.
* [[Strange Bedfellows]]: Makuta forces an alliance with Toa Matoro in Mahri Nui.
* [[Super
* [[Sword and Gun]]: The Inika, Mahri, and most (adaptive armor-equipped) Toa Nuva all have this as their armament.
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Toa Takanuva's blog telling of his hopes for a new era of peace. Especially when you realize it's set ''right'' before the [[Wham Episode]].
Line 593:
** Also in Karda Nui, they would've taken the shadow corruption to its logical extreme and introduced a Toa of Shadow, but the plans for a toy set fell through so there was little reason to include one in the story.
* [[What If]]: Karzahni can show other characters what would have happened if a significant event in their lives played out differently. For negative results, it results in a [[Mind Rape]], but if it has a positive outcome, it turns into a [[Lotus Eater Machine]]
* [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?]]: Both Hewkii and Kongu in the Mahri Nui arc, as they both come from tribes that don't like deep water (Stone and Air, respectively). In an interesting inversion, the Toa of Fire was relatively unperturbed by the environment.
* [[The Worf Effect]]: The Toa Nuva got beaten pretty bad by the Piraka in ''Legends''...
** [[Worf Had the Flu]]: ...[[Because Destiny Says So|Because Destiny Said So]].
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
* [[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.
Line 625:
* [[Dangerously Genre Savvy]]: [[Evil Overlord|Tuma]], {{spoiler|who raises an army while everyone else is distracted with the [[Serious Business]]}}.
* [[Desert Punk]]
* [[Dragon
* [[Dream Stealer]]: {{spoiler|Annona, who was responsible for the Dreaming Plague that wiped out the Iron Tribe.}}
* [[Duels Decide Everything]]
Line 634:
* [[Featureless Protagonist]]: The Hero Agori of the ''My [[LEGO]] Network ''[[Bionicle]]'' Campaign''.
* [[Field of Blades]]: or rather it's called the "Forest of Blades", only the corpses are still holding their weapons and being fused with trees, some jutting halfway out.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: [[Minor Major Character|Mata Nui]]
** [[The Lancer]]: [[Badass Grandpa|Ackar]]
Line 648:
* [[Horse of a Different Color]]: the Bone Hunters' Rock Steeds
* [[Incendiary Exponent]]: After being given the usual "[[A Storm Is Coming]]" warning by Malum, [[The Chick|Gresh]] punctuates his response by setting his shield on fire.
* [[I Surrender, Suckers]]: [[Jerkass|Strakk]] pulls this in [[The Movie]] and in the comics.
* [[King Incognito]]: {{spoiler|One of the Great Beings has been masquerading as a member of the Matoran Universe for the past 100,000 years.}}
* [[The Magnificent Seven Samurai]]: "Raid on Vulcanus"
Line 662:
** {{spoiler|Metus' reaction to the Vorox tossing him out of his getaway vehicle and into a pissed-off Mata Nui}}
* [[Opposing Sports Team]]: the Skrall
* [[Outside Ride]]: [[Five
* [[Phlebotinum Bomb]]: the Golden Armor was designed to destroy all solid Antidermis.
* [[Post Script Season]]: The web serials continuing on past the toyline's cancellation and the storyline's main conclusion in ''Journey's End''.
Line 680:
* [[Sword Plant]]: [[The Hero|Mata Nui]] does this to cut part of a cliff to fall on a [[Spider Tank|Skopio]].
* [[That's No Moon]]: The Prototype Robot on [[Crapsack World|Bara Magna]], whose parts were used as shelter by the Agori up until its reassembly.
* "[[This Cannot Be!]]! [[Memetic Mutation|I AM THE MIGHTY TUMA!]]" ...[[Villain Decay|yeah.]]
* [[Throw Away Guns]]: the Thornax launchers used by Tarix and Vastus in [[The Movie]]. Justified since [[Edible Ammunition|Thornax]] are pretty rare.
* [[Tournament Arc]]: the Glatorian are gearing up for one at the beginning {{spoiler|but subverted when the Skrall just come in and raze the place.}}
* [[Translator Microbes]]: Mata Nui gave everyone escaping the Matoran Universe the ability to communicate with the [[Crapsack World|Bara Magna]] natives.
* [[Tron Lines]]: Skrall tribal markings
* [[
* [[Unobtainium]]: Exsidian
* [[Weaponized Car]]: many vehicles have Thornax Launchers.
* [[What a Piece of Junk]]: vehicles, such as Thornatus, are this, but they are still functional to be used.
* [[What Could Have Been]]: The [http://www.bzpower.com/forum/index.php?automodule=blog&blogid=26& early treatment] for the 2010 movie would have featured a longer journey through the Valley of the Maze, the Element Lords as key characters, and ending with Mata Nui and crew getting launched to Bota Magna, the land of [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|biomechanical]] [[
* [[The Worm That Walks]]: {{spoiler|The giant made of scarabax beetles that appears in the climax of ''Legend Reborn''.}}
* [[You Fool]]: [[Evil Overlord|Tuma]] says this when some Skrall managed to get lumber into the fortress, because the "lumber" is actually [[Shapeshifting|Baterra in disguise]]!
