Man, hearing "TAKUAAAAAA" again after so long felt like a mental flashbang.

The fact that the Inika and Mahri never got a film is a cardinal sin. We were robbed of seeing the Piraka in an animated film.

Tell me my friends, did you ever have the Bionicle dream?

Imagine not thinking that Bionicle is the pinnacle of movie making.

The most amazing thing is that Lego is actually acknowledging that Bionicle exists again, there is hope for the triumphant return of our favourite childhood series!

I find it really funny that the Glatorian, apparently even more biological then the Mata Nui residents, were given more robotic, toy accurate designs in the film. I really wonder what Miramax Ignika or even 2008 designs would look like. I need my boy Krika in animation dang it!

This is not the 8 hour long bionicle collection video I expected. I am very disappointed adam diamondbolt.

It’s amazing that Bionicle is still talked about to this very day.

9:12 Imagine you spend an entire movie trying to cure you and your friends of a terrible condition. You meet the guy who can do just that, and it's perhaps the only one who can. And all he says is...

I wasn't much of a fan of Bionicle, but the "TAKUAAAAA" is carved into my brain

The guys that made the last Bionicle movie also made Clutch Powers, it seems like they had all of these awesome ideas for trilogy’s but were never given the chance to finish them.

I was at LEGOLAND Cali recently and I was both amused and disheartened to see that the presence of Bionicle at the park has been reduced to a few statues an an effing kiddie teacup style ride. I’m not gonna begrudge the kids for being more enthralled by Ninjago and all that, but I think it can be a slap in the face for those that grew up with Bionicle and its world, especially given how Lego is usually respectful of its legacy properties. Heck freaking Johnny Thunder at least has a walk through attraction and a shooter dark ride. Bionicle should at least have that equal amount of worth.

Bionicle is gonna make a comeback and when it does, I’ll be here for it.

These movies were absolutely my childhood, and I have so many fond memories of watching them. Good times

To be fair in the Bionicle Universe, Toa had a code of honor of sorts called the "Toa Code" which not only prohibited Toa from killing their enemies (unless their own lives were being threatened), Toa are also prohibited from using their weapons to kill Also the giant robot body at the end of The Legend Reborn is just...a giant robot, it was in fact the prototype robot to Mata Nui's own robot body, it was just another creation of the Great Beings

Sad to know this was cut from the final version of Unfriended, where Diamondbolt explains the vast lore of the Bionicle series.

As someone who’s never seen Bionicle before. It’s kind of like walking into a museum of history you know nothing about. As soon as I heard that legendary ’Taaakkkkkuuuuuuuaaaaaaaa’ I immediately knew why it became such an infamous meme for a while. And by god did that phrase it leave my head for a while.

At this point, Adam could make a video of any movie/movie series and I would still wach it

Does Anyone Remember Hero Factory?

You know, I always headcanon Keetongu as some kind of matoran bigfoot.

We think the reason why people are not too happy at the Legend Reborn design is that in canon, the resistance of Bara Magna are supported to be the opposite of the resistance of the Matoran universe, basically the inhabitants of the M.U are robotic with organic elements like organs and such, so the Miramax design work with that idea, but the inhabitants of B.M are organic creatures with robotic elements like replacement limbs and organs. So the fact they look more robotic then the Toa looks off and makes them look bland by comparison. Also they didn't give the Zesk a mention which immediately knocks it down a few.

Weirdly enough, one of my core memories from my childhood was from back when Netflix was a dvd mail rental service and I queued up The Legend Reborn because I recognized Mata Nui from the set I got for my birthday, but I can't remember if it ever arrived in the mail because most of my memories from that time are flooded with moving stuff because my family moved around a lot since my dad didn't have a permanent job at the time lol

The Legend Reborn My god the memories of rewatching it

God I love Bionicle! A few years ago I went through my old Lego collection and managed find enough Bionicle pieces to build my own original guy and now he's on display on the top of my shelf in all of his mismatched Glory.

thats not a great being corpse. the great beings are just ultra smart glatorian. the thing they found was a broken prototype of mata nuis original body that he ended up using to fight makuta who had stolen said body

Really sucks I never knew the Bionicle series as a kid, but seeing DiamondBolt talking about all the movies is a nice way to start a journey. And the quote "TAKUA!" is one of the best lines in cinema history.

3:51 *LET'S TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THOSE FALLS!*

I was about to rewatch these movies over the weekend, so this is incredible timing

These movies were my childhood, I loved them so much and would watch them over and over again!

Did you know that Roodaka was voiced by the same actress as Gali.

It's such a shame they didn't realize realize how important the show was to Ninjago's success, that they made such a lackluster series of shorts for g2

Can’t believe bionicle is Over 20 years old now

Legend Reborn was the only Bionicle movie I ever watched. I was born in 2005 so I missed out on the other installments of Bionicle. My thing was Hero Factory. But nevertheless, I loved the movie. I rewatched it so many times. It's a shame we never got a sequel.

Seriously, these things were awesome. Even if they were "aimed at kids", they still did it in a cool way and made you feel cool watching them. Mask of Light is certainly a classic and personal childhood favorite for me. It was dark, epic, sad, and emotionally powerful, even if it had a somewhat simple plot and all. :)

What’s next, rewatching The Hero Factory mini series?

Now. Hear me out. Puss in Boots 2 was amazing and Universal was probably the reason why that movie even survived. Universal now owns Lego's movie rights, now what if the next Lego movie is a Bionicle movie made in the same style as Puss in boots 2 or Spiderverse. Maybe Dreamworks can help with it. To me that sounds like a dream come true

I honestly wish Bionicle could have a reboot movie series nowadays. Maybe actually being released in theaters and having some more famous actors on board. Anyway, awesome video as always!

There needs to be a kickstarter to get the piraka /under water story made into a movie. I’d re by all those sets as an adult😂

I never had the privilege of growing up with the original Bionicle like most, as I was more aware and into Hero Factory before seeing the 2016 reboot line. But the original seems like something I would have a lot of fun watching, seeing all the locations, wildlife and getting to know all the set of characters and the distinctive personalities they have. I haven't seen the series on Netflix yet, but judging by your reaction maybe that's for the best, we'll find out soon enough. But even if I haven't really seen any of them I still want to see the engineering of Bionicle return to full form. Maybe Hero Factory too, if we're lucky.

Finally a dimmondbolt upload again. Thank you for reminding me of this piece of my childhood

This certainly awakened some dormant memories (Especially regarding The Legend Reborn) But when Mask of Light came up in this video, it triggered a fight of flight response due to the TAKUAAA earrape sound living rent free in the back of my skull.

Watching this while I build my Tahu and Takua GWP! :D perfect timing with this video, diamond! my sets even just came in today!

I’m so happy you posted. I remember when you talked about Hero Factory and Sonic and Transformers.

THESE MOVIES WERE MY CHILDHOOD! Great movies and great video bro 👍 Love your channel

What do we do when we tell Diamondbolt there’s still one more Blockbuster? Yes, I know it’s in Oregon.

Dude i literally had the exact same bionical 3 bed sheets. Thats trippy as hell cause i got them as a handmedown from my older brother since he was a massive collecter of them. I still have the gigantic toy bin completely filled with random bionical pieces as far as the bin could go. It was awesome just building those things for hours allong with watching the movies endlessly. Cheers for the nostalgia ride

I love these movies 🎉🎉🎉🎉 thank you Diamond man!!!!!

BRO. The Legend Reborn was such a fun trip! Seeing as most of my collection consisted of the Agori and Glatorians, it was so cool to see them animated! And, unlike with the previous 3 films, I could actually invest myself in the world and characters. Of course, I didn’t know the lore either, but as you said, this one introduces it to us through Mata Nui. Even as someone who just made up my own stories, I really appreciated seeing these characters brought to life. -Also, Mallum’s indeed got a great design. Strakk is probably higher for me personally, though. I also have a soft spot for Metus, so it was cool seeing him play a decently-sized role (even if he turned out not to be such an _ice_ guy.)

The huge problem with the toy accurate designs in the forth movie, is because in the lore, the people of bara magna are meant to be completely organic, but with cyborg upgrades. But with this new style they look even more robotic than the toa and matoran

Words cannot describe how much I enjoyed this video, im smiling just looking at it. Im genuinely serious, this makes me feel so happy and satisfied for some reason

My Roodaka figure is sitting one leg crossed on top of the other, on the highest shelf of my display, looking down to any onlookers. Yeah DiamondBolt you're right about Roodaka 😂

While my only experience with Bionicle is the FPS game for the DS, I appreciate this man's dedication to the art.

When I was like 5 I watched the 4th film so many times and I loved it so seeing some of the stuff from it again just made my day

Honestly glad I'm not the only one who loved the legend reborn, Rock on Diamondbolt!

My favorite KZfaqr is back!!

Oh man I remember these! I would always rewatch these when I was a wee lil gal. I really need to give this another watch !

As a massive fan of Bionicle and its lore I have extreme nostalgia for these movies and years later still really love these even though they do have alot of flaws and sometimes are a bit inaccurate with how some of the charachters are potrayed in these movies compared to the rest of the story.

I realized the entire videos has Kirby music all the time and I love it

It's not a corpse of the great beings. It's from the first version of the Great SPIRIT Robot that failed from a unstable battery. The Bionicle story writer Greg Farshtey later stated that the Great Beings and Elemental Lords are roughly the same sizes as Toa/Glatorians

Yyyyyaaaaaayyyy!!!!!! A new diamondbolt bionicle video

Great retrospective! I didn't really grow up with these movies but i love watching them from time to time as an adult lmao

Perfectly timed upload with my arrival of the new gwp set

The reason they look more human-like and less like the toys is to portray them as the bio-mechanical beings they are in the stories by making them look more organic. Maybe not as iconic as the actual toys, but the toys themselves don't exactly look organic and just mechanical.

This video is unearthing so many childhood memories

The Glatorian Line plus Glatorian Legends was only one year, 2009. It was not 2. Besides that error this is a very well put together video. Its always nice to see more Bionicle content on KZfaq!

I’ve never seen any other bionicle content other than The Legend Reborn. I guess my parents got it for me at a garage sale somewhere in 2010 (I would have been 8 at the time) or something cuz I watched it Every. Single. Day. For about 2-3 years. You can pretty much tell that it’s a huuuuugggeeee part of my childhood. I loved Mata Nui’s holy personality, the vibrance of his allies and the cliffhanger hinting at something huge that never was. To this day, a Mata Nui set is one of my all time holy grails that I would spend a fortune for.

These movies, while flawed, will always be part of my childhood as bionicle was my life. And even after 12 years, bionicle still had a good-sized devoted fanbase and I'm happy to be part of it.

Love seeing some respect being put on the legend reborn lol, that was also the only one I actually watched when it came out and was a pretty cool premise for a fish out of water story, like having 7 years of the story set around some dudes waking up their god to then becoming that god trying to get back to the dudes that worshipped him

I’m currently waiting for the 2022 movies you’ve seen Diamond bolt, I will be waiting.

Good video, as a 2001 kid Bionicle, especially the last few years was pretty integral to my life. I got all the books from the library and absolute loved them. My favorite books were the Ignition series, and you’re definitely right a movie for those years was a sorely missed opportunity. The legend reborn is every bit as good as you believe, and the animation is by far my favorite for the reasons you mentioned. It’s too bad bionicle ended when it did, but I still stand by the fact that Stars was better than nothing. If nothing else it allowed for some nice recolors and new molds. Now yo need to do the Hero Factory video… I could see it going 3 ways. No matter your take you have to admit Breakout was epic.

I've been getting my friends into Bionicle, retelling all the lore to them like a Turaga telling the tale of Mata Nui. And then this gets uploaded. Stop reading my mind Diamondbolt.

It's been 3000 years of Bolt saying Bionicles was peak and now we finally get the video. It's finally here.

The greatest video on KZfaq.

Also, the fact you love, legendary born makes me feel so happy I love that one too like this video of you love that banger credit song ride by presence

I never had any proper context for Bionicle growing up but I was literally obsessed with the movies because they were on Netflix and I watched Web of Shadows more times than I can count. This just dug up buried memories I didn't know I still had ajjdjsjs

More bionicle content is always a good thing

Man, this brings me back to the days of watching those robomaniac videos as a kid.

At long last after all these years, We’re finally going to see Adam’s Bionicle collection in all its glory!

Ah the bionicle movies, what a blast from the past. These are really made for fans of the franchise because i was never lost watching any of them

You're not alone buddy. I loved the aesthetics of legend reborrn.

Keep it up 👍

I loved these movies as a kid. Bionicle: Reborn was the first Bionicle movie that I had watched and was my favorite one.

That was the best Bionicle video ever

Theres actually a lot of events that legends of metru nui skipped or glossed over so they actually got to be toa for quite a bit. You can read about it in comics and chapter books. Time trap especially is pretty relevant to the storyline as a whole

Have you seen lego rewind? That series ended a while ago with a final episode with bionicle and that covers the toys, story, etc...

Ill be honest. As a 26 year old man. I have all 4 on dvd and will watch them once or twice a year. Nothing like a good old nostalgia trip to make you feel good.

This video came in my recommendations just as i started building the commemorative Bionicle 2023 set and i couldn't ask for a better video to watch while building.

great to see web of shadows getting the recognition it deserves :D

Got some lord of the rings vibes from the first movie. Takua and Jaller with a golden mask is basically Sam and Frodo with the golden ring.

YES A BIONICLE VIDEO

I used to love 'Bionicle: the Legend Reborn' as a kid and would repeatedly watch it on DVD. I still consider it my personal favorite out of all the Bionicle movies and don't get the dislike for it. I loved it so much and kind of regret giving it away to make room for more DVDs. Makes me want to go out and look for it to own again.

I used to think that the Xenoblade chronicles setting was super cool and unique and then my friend pointed out that they stole it from bionicle

Dude I have so much nostalgia, they were what introduced me to Bionicles, but they stopped making movies and I lost interest, but I can remember building the Toa out of Lego Duploes and recreating the stuff that happed in the movies, I’m glad someone’s brought some attention to these

I honestly quite liked the designs of the original film, from the fact that it expanded on the idea that the Matorans (and other species) are either biomechanical natural cyborgs, with both fleshy and natural mechanical parts or the fact that the Rahkshi are just exoskeletons powered by slugs.

I’ve been on a real big bionicle binge recently

Please do the Hero Factory series next!

I also used to love getting a bunch of those sets and combining them to make one giant Bionicle.

I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AGAIN I REMEMBER WATCHING YOUR WAR FOR CYBERTRON PLAYTHROUGH

I love people being passionate about the hobbies that they enjoy and you’re no different.

Your scholastic book fair had the cool shit. All I remember at those fairs is getting a Bakugan book and a pen.
