2015

2015 is the first year of the rebooted BIONICLE line after the end of the previous iteration of the line that ran from 2001 to 2010. It is the twelfth year to have a story and the fifteenth year since the line was initially launched. It is set on the island of Okoto, and focuses on the Toa and their quest for the Masks of Power in conflict with evil forces.

An unknown number of books are currently planned. There are no plans for full-fledged comics, but short strips appear on the boxes for the new sets. In the winter wave, a total of thirteen sets were released, and 5 more sets will be released in summer.

Story
The legendary Maskmakers, Ekimu and Makuta, made Masks of Power for the harmonious islanders of Okoto, called the Protectors. The Protectors valued Ekimu's masks more, leading Makuta to create the Mask of Ultimate Power as an act of rebellion against his brother. When he donned the Mask of Ultimate Power, Makuta lost control of himself and the island was nearly destroyed. Ekimu knocked the mask off of him, and the mask, along with Ekimu's Mask of Creation and Makuta's Mask of Control, were scattered across the island. Both Maskmakers were left in a coma.

Later, six Toa crashed onto the island and began a quest to find the Masks of Power and stop the rising evil on the island.
