How BIONICLE G1 & G2 Are CONNECTED - CTJ 

Haha, thanks ;

This is the best bionicle theory EVER!

Not sure if I'd go that far, then again I haven't seen many other Bionicle theories.... Regardless, ;

I think they'd do it for the original/older fans.

Let's be honest here, Bionicle G1's story was deep because it was given time to mature. The first year was literally about six elemental warriors fighting corrupted animals controlled by an evil master mind, why is he evil you say? (Incert stereotypical jelousy reason here)

That sux that my fave character is stuck on the stupid red star forever :(

source?

@@chase1146MY SOURCE IS THAT I MADE IT THE $&@! UP

That is an interesting idea, honestly I'd want to hear your head canon :D

Well, my headcannon is Okoto is part of Spherus Magna, and in fact, the Arena in the Mask Maker city (where the Toa fought Skull Slicer to get Lewa's mask back) was the great Arena Magna from Bara Magna. After Mata Nui reunited Spherus Magna and used the Kanohi Ignika's energy to restore the shattered planet, the water of Aqua Magna formed into a vast ocean over the sand sea. The areas of the Bara Magna desert that the Agori tribes inhabited were above sea level and became known as Okoto, with the greatest city - the City of the Mask Makers - being built around the Arena Magna, which became a central part of the new cultural identity the Matoran, Agori, Toa and Glatorian built together. Eventually, after defeating or allying with the lingering threats of the Skrall, the Skakdi and the other various foes of the world, the four groups stopped thinking of themselves as separate species and started (for lack of a better term) interbreeding to the point that they eventually were all one people, the Okotoans. The Toa Nuva, who until this point had been too busy defeating the threats to the new joint civilization to actually participate in the merging, realized that their final purpose had been achieved - peace, at long last, had been realized on Spherus Magna and there was no longer any need for Toa, Nuva or otherwise. With fond farewells, the Toa Nuva went to the Red Star with the intent of finding the Great Beings who had abandoned the world so long ago and show them that their ultimate vision for Spherus Magna had finally come to fruition. The Turaga, ever wise and cautious, still knew that new threats could rise from almost anywhere and formed a pact with the Toa Nuva - if a new foe were to threaten the inhabitants of Spherus Magna, the Turaga would use the Kanohi Vahi to summon them from their journey to defend their people again. Of course, realizing that the Toa's mission itself was fraught with peril and that their legendary heroes may not be able to return, the Turaga took additional steps to protect the Okotoans by forming the Order of Protectors. Equipped with advanced armor and specialized tools, then trained extensively in the art of combat, the Protectors would serve to safeguard their regions from lesser threats and maintain the peace. The Turaga even went so far as to install the Protectors as de facto leaders of their regions, giving them the latitude to make the decisions necessary to protect and guide the people of Okoto, while the Turaga took on roles of a more spiritual nature by teaching the newer generations about Mata Nui and his lessons. Eventually, as the millennia passed, the Turaga succumbed to old age and the teachings of Mata Nui fell out of Okotoan consciousness, though the Protectors continued to serve their roles of leaders and defenders. Ekimu eventually rose to power as overall leader of Okoto due to his extraordinary intelligence, wisdom and mask making skill, and as such was in the perfect position to find the essence of Makuta (the back story of which I already fleshed out in my original post). During his wanderings as a cloud of energy, Makuta found he could sustain his essence by feeding on the life energy of other beings, but part of him felt it was wrong to do so even if he wasn't sure why. He eventually stumbled upon a forgotten Glatorian graveyard and discovered that he could use his energy to revive the bodies, inside which he could reside for a time and preserve his energies. Makuta made a mistake, though, and revived an ancient, ruthless Glatorian named Kulta, who saw what Makuta could do and, seeing as Makuta's essence was still inside his skeletal body, tapped into Makuta's energy to raise himself an army of skeletal warriors from the Glatorian bodies. Makuta was simultaneously appalled, horrified but also intrigued by this new development, but long millennia of existing as mere energy, not to mention the massive expenditure of his dwindling reserves, caused Makuta to lose not only whatever memories he still had of being Teridax, but also all the memories he had acquired since then. Kulta, having no more use for Makuta's essence, expelled Makuta from his body, ironically, much the way Makuta had expelled Mata Nui from his robot body. Severely weakened, frightened and nearly feral, Makuta's essence fled from Kulta and was soon found by Ekimu. At first, Makuta was grateful to Ekimu for saving his life, but as Makuta started to gain his strength back, fragments of memory started to also return - dream like flashes of being Teridax, of ruling the Matoran Universe, several more coherent memories of Kulta's skeleton army. Makuta eventually realized that, since it was his essence that raised Kulta's army, he was still connected to them and Makuta still had some control over them, as he had with the infected Rahi on the island of Mata Nui (not that Makuta had many memories of that time, just some strange deja vu-like impressions). But, he realized that Kulta's will and spirit were far stronger than Makuta's diminished form, and so he began planning. When Makuta came into possession of the Mask of Control, he immediately used its power to assert his dominance over the Skull Army, but he could sense Kulta resisting him, and every day was a struggle of wills between the two, though the power of Makuta's Mask usually won out, keeping Kulta in check. Makuta knew he needed something more to completely enslave Kulta to his will, and his real jealousy of Ekimu's superior skill gave Makuta an idea, which eventuall led to the creation of the Mask of Ultimate Power and the start of G2.

Makuta's connection with Kulta seems rather intriguing. I recall he had more significance in the first chapter book. I haven't read it yet, so I'm not entirely sure- but the dead glatorian thing is quite an interesting idea. I had never thought about the parallels between the arenas. It is really fun to speculate about stuff :D

The chapter books say that Kulta is a servant of Makuta, but doesn't explain how that situation came to be. So if Makuta is Teridax, and the Zamor spheres used by the Piraka to enslave the Voyatoran was from Makuta Teridax's essence, then it's plausible that Teridax could bend others like Kulta to his will by "possessing" them, as it were.

Hmm, I suppose so. It is a shame G2's story never got that deep or intriguing (aside from the Vahi since we never got to see where that story thread was headed). I guess it was to avoid convolution, but it seemed like they took it to the side of oversimplification.

Yeah, since passed all of the specifics the idea that the G1 and G2 toa stars could be one and the same is fairly simple. Okoto being Takanuva's star may be a stretch, but I think it's the kind of retcon Lego would make to satiate both types of fans.

BTW Thanks for the semicolons :P

Thanks bud. I'm honestly really surprised at the sheer amount of people that liked the video. Glad to see there are still people out there pining for Bionicle content ;

Danke

Thanks. Glad you liked it :)

Glad you enjoyed it! I had a blast editing it. There'll definitely be more videos like this in the future! :D - Waj

Thanks! I appreciate the kind words.

Thanks :)

Like, the remains of the franchise?

0:58 I love those terrible puns, aspecially when they're considered morally incorrect

Oh yeah, haha I totally forgot I put that there :P

What war?

Modularity​ to declare the "Makuta takes over Mayoral Universe" story arc non-canon and continue from that point of the time period similar to how the Star Wars Expanded Universe was declared non-canon

BUT HEY, THAT'S JUST A THEORY. A CRONK THEORY! GIT OFF MA LAWN, SKRUBS!

Guys I'm trying to NOT be Matpat.

But Cronk, Matpat invented the modern theory video, everybody knows that, so you're obviously ripping him off :P

I didn't do this to rip him off. I did this so I could just get my thoughts down. If I really wanted to rip him off I would make all the fans of G1 angry.

Cronk we're joking :b

I believe I did mention fragments of them. However, they are technically destroyed. I'm also pretty sure they lost their round shape, since they would have been pulled apart. The actual canon makes this confusing, since it was also written at such short notice and was shoehorned in there, like G2's ending.

Do you think Lewa is dead since Bota Magna merged with Bara Magna?

Biotrek Lewa is alive.

Lewa is definitely alive.

(Sorry but i don't remember very well) He is captured by the intelligent Vorax tribe, Is it before or after the reform of Spherus Magna?

I'd like to think g2 is a different universe, or an alternate dimension. But is still connected to g1. G2 has the top half of the vahi. Coincidence? I think not

G1 also had toa with jungle as their element, it just wasn't common. Often called toa of the green

Much obliged!

Ayy, thanks :D
