History Awesome / BIONICLE

* Karzahni (ruler of Bionicle hell) vs. Teridax (Big Bad who knocked out God). After a sort-of stalemate, Karzahni uses his mask to torture Teridax by showing what will happen if Mata Nui wakes up. Teridax screams for a bit before promptly ripping Karzahni's psyche in half. Then Brutaka shows up, has a HeelFaceTurn, fights Teridax to a stalemate and steals back the Staff of Artaka.

* [[spoiler: TheReveal of [[BigBad Makuta Teridax's]] EvilPlan / XanatosGambit come to fruition. Who else would have planned to allow the Toa Mahri to bring Mata Nui back to life so that he could enter his body before Mata Nui could, so that when the Toa Nuva finally succeed in reawakening him, he could announce that he won, and seal the deal by sealing Mata Nui's spirit in the Kanohi Ignika and ejecting it into space, taking care of the two biggest threats to his rule?]]

[[AC:2007: Mahri Nui: Creeps from the Deep]]

* There's also Jaller's HeroicSacrifice in TheMovie when Takua is about to be killed by one of the Rahkshi.

* [[spoiler: Mata Nui pushing Teridax into the path of Bota Magna, causing him to get MOONED! (head crushed [[ColonyDrop by the planet]], pulled in by the latter's own gravity powers.)]]

Exactly how does [[{{Bionicle}} a line of action figures]] [[BuiltWithLego owned by]] {{Lego}} manage [[LongRunners to last for 10 Years]]? By being totally [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]], that's how.

* What, no mention of the epic Takanuva vs Makuta battle? Teridax mockingly challenges him to a game of deadly kolhii, which Takanuva wins. Then, when Teridax gets back up, Takanuva jumps on him and wrenches the Mask of Shadows off the Makuta's face, sending them toppling back into a pool of energized protodermis, fusing them together. Oh, and Takanuva ends up in control of that fusion. He's fused with the mind of the big bad himself, who had intricate plans within plans comprised over thousands of years, and ''Takanuva out-willpowered him.''

* In the second movie: the protodermis cage. The Toa seal Makuta in a barrier only they can unlock. I repeat. The most powerful villain in the series can't escape from it. Not bad for a couple of rookies with two weeks of experience.

** Such an awesome sacrifice that the ''Ignika itself'' was impressed, and then made itself a Toa body to try to become a hero- [[spoiler: and then sacrificed itself [[WhatWouldJesusDo when asked what Matoro would've done in its situation]]]].

* Matau, definitely gets his in the third movie, "Web of Shadows." While the other Toa are fighting the hoard, he manages to escape, find Vakama, and they have a duel, Anakin/Obi-Wan style. [[spoiler: In the end, Vakama knocks Matau to the edge of the tower they're fighting on. Matau manages to grab onto the edge to avoid plummeting to his doom. Vakama steps on his hand, trying to get him to let go and fall. Vakama tells him "You are weak, brother." Matau, the ego-maniac who never admits to ever being wrong, then gives this speech as he hangs thousands of feet above the ground: "You're right, Vakama. I am weak... We all make mistakes, Vakama. That's what happens when you're brave enough to make decisions. I understand that now... Wait! I'm sorry. For doubting you. Our strength comes from our unity, Vakama. Which means... you can't be strong without us." Vakama interjects: "I'm better, stronger alone!" Matau continues: "I don't believe that! And I don't think you do, either. You're our LEADER, Vakama. You're my leader. We've got a job to do! ... And if there is any of the Vakama I know left, he'll know what to do."]] [[spoiler: Matau then let's go of the ledge, falling head first to his doom.]]
** This trooper used to absolutely despise Matau, but that scene redeemed him in her eyes.
** [[spoiler: Vakama, of course, jumps after him with an extremely long vine. Matau laughs gleefully. Moments later Vakama grabs him: "Hang on; I've got a plan."]]
* Also, Keetongu's {{Determinator}} act of absolutely refusing to die as he climbs up the tower, is finally shot down, and then rises up and proceeds to [[spoiler: kill Sidorak.]]
* There's also Jaller's HeroicSacrifice in the first movie when Takua is about to be killed by one of the Rahkshi.
* From that same movie: The Rahkshi have so far spent their time sinking the village of Ta-Koro (which is a floating rock fortress in the middle of a volcano!). When Takua and Jaller meet up with Kopaka, Toa of Ice, the Rahkshi appear and flings Kopaka down a mountain/glacier by use of a friggin' disintegration beam. Takua, who the Rahkshi were following, grabs the Mask of Light they're after and tries to cross a small lake by using Kopaka's shield as a raft. The Rahkshi can fly, so that doesn't work out too well. But what does Kopaka do the moment he wakes up? He utterly wrecks their shit. An initial blast of his ice power sends all three Rahkshi tumbling into the water, and then a quick stab with his sword freezes the entire lake solid. "Washed and chilled" indeed.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-gp3jmP-gE Toa Kaita fight the Manas]]
* The Toa Mata fight Teridax in the ''Mata Nui Online Game''.
* Mata Nui pushing Teridax into the path of Bota Magna, causing him to get MOONED! (head crushed [[ColonyDrop by the planet]], pulled in by the latter's own gravity powers.)
* Matoro sacrificing his life to resurrect Mata Nui. Just... damn.
** Said sacrifice also burning out the eye sockets of three Makuta with the glow from the process, as if reviving the Great Spirit wasn't enough.
** Such an awesome sacrifice that the ''Ignika itself'' was impressed, and then made itself a Toa body to try to become a hero- and then sacrificed itself when asked what Matoro would've done in its situation.
** And just before he goes, Matoro calms himself with ''the'' BadassBoast. Very few lines will ever beat the sheer awesome of:
-->"Turaga Nuju always said the universe was a riddle. Today, ''I am the answer.''"
* The Exo-Toa. Giant autonomous suits of armor. That is all.

** Another moment for the Toa of Earth is when the Nuva learn they must awaken the Bahrag, and in turn the Bohrok, as part of the preparations for awakening Mata Nui. While the rest of the team is unsure about the task, it's Onua who steps up to the plate and releases the Bahrag, saying that he did what was necessary- after all, nobody ever said the path to the future would be an easy one.
* The battle between Axonn and Brutaka at the end of the Voya Nui saga. After spending the entire arc just barely surviving and guiding the new Toa toward their destiny, Axonn finally realizes he isn't able to turn Brutaka back from the path he's walking and shrugs off everything his former friend throws at him. Even hopped up on Antidermis (which is the ''essence of Teridax,''), Axonn doesn't even flinch. He also has one of the best lines in the series during this fight:
-->Brutaka: "You fool, Axonn! Don't you realize you're fighting for a lost cause?"
-->Axonn: "Don't you realize? Those are the only kind worth fighting for."

Takua, who the Rahkshi were following, grabs the Mask of Light they're after and tries to cross a small lake by using Kopaka's shield as a raft.
