User:Toa Alloy

I first discovered BIONICLE when I was just 7 years old, when I collected all of the strange, tiny lego figures from McDonald's. They were colourful and fun, and I brought them everywhere.

I'm an adult now, and BIONICLE has been a cornerstone of my creativity and inspiration for over a decade. Honestly, I don't know what kind of things I might have done, or ended up doing without it, but the Bionicle story has always been one of my biggest obsessions, alongside Star Wars and Mass Effect.

Gali was my first Toa, and although I had no idea she was female at the time, she was, and has, been my favourite since 2001. Years later, when I finally had access to wireless internet, I was blown away by the realization that she was the only female among the original 6. It made her even cooler, knowing that she was the only truly unique of all the Toa Mata.

Since then, I've read every existing BIONICLE book, comic and news article on the web, and save for a few odd, vague characters who had little impact on the overall story, I can name nearly every known Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Rahi, Bohrok, Rahkshi, Makuta, Barraki, etc. off by heart. Even most of the Kanohi!

My Favourite Pages

 * Avohkii: The Mask of Light has, without a doubt, been my favourite Kanohi since I first laid eyes on it during the Rahkshi era.
 * Toa of Water: Because of Gali, and later Hahli, (From playing MNOG:II) the Toa of Water will always be my favourite, although Magnetism is my favourite elemental power!
 * Kanohi: The mysterious and powerful mask of the Toa, Turaga and Matoran have always fascinated me. I've been wracking my brain since 2003 trying to figure out how LEGO's designers came up with such amazing and unique molds, with every single mask completely different. They each have a personality of their own, and I love it!
 * Bohrok-Kal: The Bohrok and their Krana were great, but when LEGO unleashed the Kal, I had to have them all! The first BIONICLE characters to possess these completely new powers of, Electricity, Plasma, Vacuum, Magnetism, Gravity and Sonics, they are incredibly cool, even to this day!
 * Makuta/Teridax: I didn't learn his true name for nearly a decade, but The Makuta was one of the best parts about BIONICLE. His extremely long-reaching evil plan, his very real threat to the heroes, his ultimate demise at the hands of Mata Nui himself... Teridax was great, and I especially liked the alternate universe version!
