2008

2008 was the eighth year of Bionicle and the third and final year in the Bionicle Legends story arc. It took place in Karda Nui and followed the struggles of the Toa Nuva against the invading Makuta. It was told in the following book:
 * BIONICLE Legends 9: Shadows in the Sky
 * BIONICLE Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets
 * BIONICLE Legends 11: The Final Battle

Story Notes

 * There will only be three books in 2008 (or four at most, if you count BIONICLE Legends 8: Downfall, which came out in January 2008 but was for the 2007 story).
 * The 2008 storyline is set in Karda Nui.
 * 2008 actually occurs in two settings within one larger one--the sky above Karda Nui and the swamp sitting at the bottom of it.
 * Brutaka will return in BIONICLE Legends 10: Swamp of Secrets.
 * The Matoran will take stronger storyline roles in 2008.
 * What was the unknown insane Matoran in Karzahni's lair referring to when he described "The World That Feeds The World?"
 * Karda Nui is the "world that feeds the world" referred to by the insane Av-Matoran in Karzahni.
 * It is the place where the Ignika, Mask of Life needs to be used to save the life of the Great Spirit Mata Nui.
 * As of the ending of the 2007 storyline, it also happens to be the most damaged place in the universe, because the damage caused by the Great Cataclysm was repaired by the Staff of Artakha, but it could not repair Karda Nui.
 * The January Bionicle Sets for 2008 are:
 * Canister sets (Phantoka, or "Spirits of the Air"): Chirox, Vamprah, Antroz, Pohatu Nuva, Kopaka Nuva, and Lewa Nuva. The Makuta sets (Chirox, Vamprah, and Antroz) carry Tridax Pods and the Toa Nuva carry Midak Skyblasters.
 * Small sets: Gavla, Kirop, Radiak, Photok, Solek, and Tanma. They are all Av-Matoran, but Gavla, Kirop and Radiak have been corrupted by Shadow Leeches and are now Matoran of Shadow.
 * Boxed set(s): Toa Ignika, Icarax, and Mutran and Vican.
 * In the summer Onua Nuva, Tahu Nuva, Gali Nuva and at least three other Makuta (one female) will be released.
