History Awesome / BIONICLE

Exactly how does [[Toys/{{Bionicle}} a line of action figures]] [[BuiltWithLego owned by]] Franchise/{{Lego}} manage [[LongRunners to last for 10 Years]]? By having SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments like these, that's how. Not only did it save Lego from bankruptcy, but so much more. They could’ve just made six or so buildable action figures and have a simple story of good and evil but no! Well written characters, incredible battles, ancient secrets around the corner, amazing creatures, great bad guys including the villain to end all villains, all in a multiverse of endless creative possibilities! {{Spoiler}}s ahead.

->"The battle that followed was epic. Icarax was the better fighter, but Teridax was more cunning. [[StoneWall He allowed Icarax to pound him for hours on end,]] until the rebel’s energies were almost exhausted. Then Teridax exerted the smallest amount of his will and turned the Manas against Icarax. Once he was surrounded, Teridax used every power at his command to [[CurbStompBattle defeat...no, demolish...no, perhaps humiliate]] would be a better word...Icarax."\\

** Vakama talks Teridax down by ''[[StaringDownCthulu threatening to destroy time itself!]]'' And probably even more impressively, ''it wasn't a bluff.'' Needless to say, it worked.

* Mazeka, a ''[[HobBits Matoran]]'', beats up two members of [[TheBrute Krekka's]] species ''[[BadassNormal with his bare hands]]''.

* Similar to the example with Kopaka above, Nokama at one point finds herself trapped in the Metru Nui Archives with three very angry Rahkshi coming after her. Her teammates have all been kidnapped by the Krahka, she is a novice Toa with almost no fighting experience under her belt, she was nearly killed by her best friend less than an hour earlier, and is already worn out from the trek through the Archives, but she calmly assesses her situation and proceeds to engage them in battle. Somebody wasn't walking away from that fight, and that somebody was ''three Rahkshi''.

** Then, there's him actually ''hurting'' Makuta by causing the temperature of his arm to go up [[UpToEleven several thousand degrees.]]
** Vakama talks Teridax down by ''threatening to destroy time itself!'' And probably even more impressively, ''it wasn't a bluff.'' Needless to say, it worked.

** It would also be so easy to just give all the Toa PersonalityPowers, but Farshtey ''defies'' this--Nokama is hot-tempered, Iruini is sanguine, Jaller level-headed and thoughtful, etc.

** Meanwhile, five Toa Mahri perform a HoldTheLine against ''the entire Barraki army.''

* The sheer amount of personality that goes into the individual set designs is what drew kids to the toys in the first place. Every character has their own story, and even among sets (i.e. the Toa Mata), they differ just enough to where each one seems to be its own. They even resembled humans in weird ways that other toys for their day and age wouldn't have; for example, Lewa has FingerlessGloves and Pohatu's upside-down body translates to him being an {{Acrofatic}}.

* Need I say: The Birth of Takanuva from the Toys/{{Bionicle}} film, ''The Mask of Light''. To elaborate, Takua just lost his friend to Rahkshi Turahk and remembers him saying, "You know who you are". He then realizes who he is, shifts his [[ExpressiveMask expression]] from one of grief to one of boldness and determination, dons the Mask of Light, and becomes the very Toa of Light he was searching for. After christening himself as Takanuva, he then one-shots Turahk and finishes revealing the hidden statue of himself as the {{herald}} before [[ActionFilmQuietDramaScene going off to mourn Jaller]].

** Vakama talks Teridax down by ''threatening to destroy time itself!'' Needless to say, it worked.

* A Website/YouTube channel called [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRDIe4m-hac8m_v2wRvZd7w Noah Productions [NP] ]] actually created their own stop-motion film about the Ignition trilogy which haven't been adapted in film. They currently managed to create movies about [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U3p2HCLiDxo the Toa Inika]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXT_69zTtMg&t= the Toa Mahri]]. Thus allowing fans to know about the lore behind those figures.

Thus allowing fans to know about the lore behind those figures.

* With Bionicle, even the advertising is great. Bionicle was meant to save Lego from bankruptcy. So as you can imagine, a lot of effort went into the advertising. So much effort and creativity that one has to wonder if it was the story promoting the toys or selling the toys to promote the story. I think we know the results by now.

** Even more Awesome is when the Takanuva-Makuta hybrid being resurrects Jaller from just his mask. The mask mask previously worn by Turaga Lhikan, who also made a HeroicSacrifice to save the hero(s), and was killed by Makuta. Yet Takanuva manages to use some of ''Makuta's own power'' to bring Jaller back.

* 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.]]

** What exactly is Vakama's plan? Vakama brings Matau before Roodaka. He then reveals to her that he's returned to his senses and no longer her ally. Roodaka considers ordering the Visorak horde to kill them all. Vakama, however, outsmarts Roodaka and takes full advantage of his position as commander of the horde to relieve the Visorak of duty. The horde is [[RewardedasaTraitorDeserves more than happy]] to simply leave without a fight, leaving Roodaka alone to face the Toa.

* Kopaka freezing a lava flow and Lewa figuring out how to get past an unsmashable wall: [[spoiler: There is nothing that Onua and Pohatu can't break. Therefore, since they can't break the wall, it must not exist. As soon as its nature as an illusion is revealed, the wall vanishes.]]

* There's also [[spoiler: Jaller's HeroicSacrifice]] in TheMovie when Takua is under attack by Rahkshi Turahk. He does so by [[spoiler: literally clinging onto his staff and absorbing all the fear energy from his attack]]. Nothing says brave like [[spoiler: hanging on as pure fear is being pumped into you]].
** Even more Awesome is when the [[spoiler: Takanuva-Makuta hybrid being resurrects Jaller from just his mask. The mask mask previously worn by Turaga Lhikan, who also made a HeroicSacrifice to save the hero(s), and was killed by Makuta. Yet Takanuva manages to use some of ''Makuta's own power'' to bring Jaller back.]]

He then realizes who he is, shifts his [[ExpressiveMask expression]] from one of grief to one of boldness and determination, dons the Mask of Light, and becomes the very Toa of Light he was searching for. After christening himself as Takanuva, he then one-shots Turahk and finishes revealing the hidden statue of himself as the {{herald}} before [[ActionFilmQuietDramaScene going off to mourn Jaller]].]]
* 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, [[spoiler: 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.]]

** But built back up again when you realize that [[spoiler: everything that the forces of good did in last 1000 years, including all of his "defeats" were part of his master plan.]]

* In the second movie: [[spoiler: 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.

* Turaga Dume [[spoiler: AKA Makuta Teridax took control of Metru Nui without firing a shot, easily outgambited the Toa, commanded an army of robot policemen and succeeded in his plan by tricking an entire population into entering stasis chambers.]]

* Matau, definitely gets his in the third movie, "Web of Shadows." While the other Toa are fighting the horde, 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. Matau, the ego-maniac who never admits to ever being wrong, then apologies for his unsympathetic criticism of Vakama's leadership and appealing to him to lead the Toa once again. Matau then lets go of the ledge to his doom, counting on him to rescue him.]]
** [[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."]]
** What exactly is [[spoiler: Vakama's plan?]] Vakama brings Matau before Roodaka. [[spoiler: He then reveals to her that he's returned to his senses and no longer her ally]]. Roodaka considers ordering the Visorak horde to kill them all. [[spoiler: Vakama]] however outsmarts Roodaka and takes full advantage of [[spoiler: his position as commander of the horde to relieve the Visorak of duty.]] The horde is [[RewardedasaTraitorDeserves more than happy]] to simply leave without a fight, leaving Roodaka alone to face the Toa.
* 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.]]
* In ''Time Trap'', it's revealed that [[spoiler: the information the Toa found that revealed that they weren't originally supposed to be Toa at all was manufactured by the Great Spirit HIMSELF in order to convince Teridax to create the Toa he actually wanted. Mata Nui pulled one over on the ultimate master planner!]]

** [[spoiler: Vakama talks Teridax down by ''threatening to destroy time itself!'' Needless to say, it worked.]]

** Please note that Axonn's superpower is the ability to get so angry that nothing can hurt him. When Brutaka realizes that Axonn has gone into that level of rage, he freaks out and tries to teleport Axonn into ANOTHER DIMENSION believing (from experience) that it's the only way to stop him. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]
*** He attempted to try that earlier, it was still happening. He actually tries to expose himself to more antidermis, [[spoiler: aka, the Makuta]], but given what the stuff does to him later on, this still counts as a GodzillaThreshold.

* [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: reviving the Great Spirit wasn't enough.]]
** And just before he goes, [[spoiler: Matoro]] calms himself with ''the'' BadassBoast. Very few lines will ever beat the sheer awesome of:

** Another moment for the Toa of Earth is when the Nuva learn they must [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: 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 HeroicSacrifice ending the Mahri Nui arc was such an awesome sacrifice that the ''Kanohi Ignika itself'' was impressed, and then made itself a Toa body to try to become a hero -- [[spoiler: and then sacrificed itself when asked what Matoro would've done in its situation]].
* [[spoiler: TheReveal of [[BigBad Makuta Teridax's]] EvilPlan 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?]]
** It's even better than that. [[spoiler: Teridax sent all of his most elite Makuta minions into Karda Nui, not to stop the Toa Nuva, but to be in the area when they succeeded, wiping them all out and leaving Teridax as the ONLY Makuta left in the universe.]]

* [[spoiler: Mata Nui vs Tuma. That is all.]]

* [[spoiler: Mata Nui pushing Teridax into the path of Aqua Magna, causing him to get MOONED! (head crushed [[ColonyDrop by the planet]], pulled in by the latter's own gravity powers.)]]
* According to a regretfully unfinished post story, [[spoiler: Velika, the Voya Nui Matoran who built the enhanced zamor launchers was actually a Great Being in disguise.]] Said character then proceeds to murder Karhazani (former ruler of Matoran hell) and [[EldritchAbomination Tren Krom]] (former ruler of the Matoran UNIVERSE). Why is not, and regrettably will probably never be clear, but it sure is impressive.
* Nektann's defeat. He tries to goad Tahu to fight fairly, like Zaktan did, but Tahu's not falling for the same trick twice. Tahu delivers a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and proceeds to ''melt Nektann's armour''. [[spoiler: Then there's Tahu's defeat of all the Rahkshi, allowing Mata Nui to get the upper hand against Makuta.]]

* If you think the Barraki commercial is good, the Toa Mahri movie is just awesome, partially the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] (which is "Crashed" by ''Daughtry''), the voice acting and especially the [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome opening sequence.]]

* Need I say: [[spoiler: The Birth of Takanuva]] from the Toys/{{Bionicle}} film, ''The Mask of Light''. To elaborate, [[spoiler: Takua just lost his friend to Rahkshi Turahk and remembers him saying, "You know who you are". He then realizes who he is, shifts his [[ExpressiveMask expression]] from one of grief to one of boldness and determination, dons the Mask of Light, and becomes the very Toa of Light he was searching for.

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.]]
** The awesomeness is a little undermined by the later revelation that Teridax intentionally lost that fight to keep the Toa off his back for a while.
** But built back up again when you realize that [[spoiler: everything that the forces of good did in last 1000 years, including all of his "defeats" were part of his master plan.]]
** Teridax has such a [[GambitRoulette complex, convoluted, and all-inclusive master plan]] that one of the Piraka [[GoMadfromtheRevelation goes a little insane]] ''just trying to read it''.
** Plus, he uses XanatosSpeedChess a lot more then he likes to admit.

[[AC:2004: Legends of Metru Nui]]
* In the second movie: [[spoiler: 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.
** Even before then, Vakama basically defeats Makuta by throwing rocks at him.
* Kind of Fridge-y, but Vakama's creation of the Vahi, the Legendary Mask of Time. Sure, it happens fairly quickly in the movies, but think about it: the Vahi is a mask so powerful, if damaged, Time itself would be undone within the Matoran Universe. There are only two other masks as powerful: the Ignika, the Mask of Life, and Artakha's Mask of Creation. Guess who made those? The Great Beings, more or less the greatest inventors and creators in Bionicle. That's right, Vakama is a mask-maker on par with the creators of his universe. Of course, he did have help from Artakha, who made the mask's composite materials (the Great Disks), but the point still stands.
* Similar to the example with Kopaka above, Nokama at one point finds herself trapped in the Metru Nui Archives with three very angry Rahkshi coming after her. Her teammates have all been kidnapped by the Krahka, she is a novice Toa with almost no fighting experience under her belt, she was nearly killed by her best friend less than an hour earlier, and is already worn out from the trek through the Archives, but she calmly assesses her situation and proceeds to engage them in battle. Somebody wasn't walking away from that fight, and that somebody was ''three Rahkshi''.
* Turaga Dume [[spoiler: AKA Makuta Teridax took control of Metru Nui without firing a shot, easily outgambited the Toa, commanded an army of robot policemen and succeeded in his plan by tricking an entire population into entering stasis chambers.]]

[[AC:2005: Web of Shadows]]
* Matau, definitely gets his in the third movie, "Web of Shadows." While the other Toa are fighting the horde, 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. Matau, the ego-maniac who never admits to ever being wrong, then apologies for his unsympathetic criticism of Vakama's leadership and appealing to him to lead the Toa once again.

Mata Nui pulled one over on the ultimate master planner!]]
* ''Time Trap'' in general is filled with several for [[ADayInTheLimelight Vakama]], which helps sum up [[TookALevelInBadass his]] [[CharacterDevelopment development]] over the past two arcs.
** He battles [[OurZombiesAreDifferent Sentrakh]] and saves himself from certain doom by setting off an explosion that blows both of them out of the Great Temple.
** Even when faced with certain death, he warns the Shadowed One and Makuta that he can still turn them to ash before they cut him down, then proceeds to turn them against one another by pointing out that Makuta absorbed the Dark Hunters that the Shadowed One is trying to avenge.
** Then, there's him actually ''hurting'' Makuta by causing the temperature of his arm to go up [[UpToEleven several thousand degrees.]]
** [[spoiler: Vakama talks Teridax down by ''threatening to destroy time itself!'' Needless to say, it worked.]]
* Also, Makuta vs. Keetongu. Makuta inevitably wins, but Keetongu never gives up, body-slamming Makuta to free himself from bonds of shadow on one occasion.

[[AC:2006: Voya Nui: Island of Doom]]
* The Toa Nuva arrive on the island and immediately have an epic team battle against the Piraka. Despite eventually losing, the Toa put up one hell of a fight, with even the Piraka noting they aren't to be underestimated.
** Still, think about this for a second. Six random Skakdi, not special besides Zaktan and his protodites, can defeat the Toa Nuva, who are potentially THE MOST POWERFUL Toa in the universe.[[note]]Even if it was implied to be a fluke, it's still impressive.[[/note]]
** The fight itself deserves more of a mention. After getting Gali, Tahu and Kopaka taken out, Lewa, Onua, and Pohatu take on Reidak, AKA the guy who adapts to everything thrown at him, and more to the point, Lewa takes him on barehanded (having just had one of his air katana snapped). He wins handily. Then they rejoin the fight properly, Onua taking out Avak in two hits and Pohatu retrieving the other Toa, all in a few seconds. There's a reason Zaktan immediately ordered Thok to cross his personal GodzillaThreshold.
** Tahu vs. Zaktan in a pure, all-out sword fight. This is the aspect of battle where luck/ PlotArmor truly came into play the most, but it's still awesome. And see 2010 for the lessons learned.
* Brutaka takes out the Toa Nuva and the Voya Nui Resistance Team in ''one shot''.
* The first battle against the Toa Inika and a Piraka (Vezok). After [[NoSell No Selling]] the zamor spheres, the Toa Inika proceed to utterly beat down Vezok, figuring out both that they could shoot lightning with their powers, and Hewki learning his mask power of accuracy, tossing a boulder so that it ricochets and hits Vezok in the back.
* The second battle between the Inika and the Piraka. In contrast to the Toa Nuva, even if the Inika lose after Hakann and Thok steal Brutaka's power, it's very one-sided. Nuparu defeats ''Zaktan'' by dragging him along in a slipstream, and Kongu defeats Avak rather karmically. Hewkii manages to beat ''Brutaka'', albeit temporarily.
** Jaller also delivers one nice ShutUpHannibal line to Hakann.
* The Piraka and the Inika vs Hakann and Thok, or for that matter, the powered-up Hakann and Thok vs each other. Despite having the power of Brutaka, the Inika take care of the renegade Piraka handily, without much help from the other Piraka bar possibly Zaktan...though they still lose after Hakann and Thok cross the GodzillaThreshold. Fortunately, Hewkii puts his accuracy to good use to return Brutaka's power.
* The Inika vs Umbra is one for Jaller (the thinker) and Matoro. Faced with a SuperSpeed opponent, they manage to take him out by icing the floor. Umbra promptly turns into a beam of light, and Jaller quickly orders Matoro to freeze the area into a mirror sphere. Umbra promptly bounces all over the place and gets knocked out.
* 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 literally shrugs off everything his former friend throws at him. 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.
** Please note that Axonn's superpower is the ability to get so angry that nothing can hurt him. When Brutaka realizes that Axonn has gone into that level of rage, he freaks out and tries to teleport Axonn into ANOTHER DIMENSION believing (from experience) that it's the only way to stop him. [[spoiler: It doesn't work.]]
*** He attempted to try that earlier, it was still happening. He actually tries to expose himself to more antidermis, [[spoiler: aka, the Makuta]], but given what the stuff does to him later on, this still counts as a GodzillaThreshold.
* Vezon vs the Inika. After curbstomping the Piraka, the next fight, with Vezon and Fenrakk actually trying. After initially curbstomping the Inika as well due to their ability to absorb kinetic energy, the Inika counterattack with their elemental powers and don't actually touch Vezon. Sadly, it doesn't last, but then Jaller proceeds to knock them into the lava...although that doesn't last either. Kardas then proceeds to utterly wreck the Inika even ''without'' the ability to absorb kinetic energy.

[[AC:2007: Mahri Nui: Sea of Darkness]]
* 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 Artakha.
* [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: reviving the Great Spirit wasn't enough.]]
** And just before he goes, [[spoiler: 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.''"
** [[http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/BIONICLE_Legends_8:_Downfall It really has to be read to be believed.]]
* That epic "Creeping in my soul" Barraki Commercial
* If you think the Barraki commercial is good, the Toa Mahri movie is just awesome, partially the [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome music]] (which is "Crashed" by ''Daughtry''), the voice acting and especially the [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome opening sequence.]]

[[AC:2008: Karda Nui: The FinalBattle]]
* The Toa Hagah, in one of their first actions after being transformed back from the Rahaga, stop a massive kaiju battle between Tahtorak and the Kanohi Dragon. In reference, it took a team of eleven Toa, including Lhikan, Nidhiki, Tuyet, and four Toa of Ice, to take down the Kanohi Dragon alone the last time it rampaged. ''Kualus disabled it singlehandedly.''
* Mazeka, a ''[[HobBits Matoran]]'', beats up two members of [[TheBrute Krekka's]] species ''[[BadassNormal with his bare hands]]''.
* Takanuva gets repeated ones against the Makuta in Karda Nui. On more than one occasion, the darkness he got infected with influences him to get ''seriously'' pissed off against them, and he may well have killed them all singlehandedly had the other Toa not been present to calm him down.
-->''"But I'm not my "kind", not anymore — your shadow leeches saw to that. I'm half Toa of Light, half Toa of Shadow. This was what you wanted, wasn't it? Toa consumed by darkness, Toa not hampered by things like mercy or morality. Well, now you can choke on it."''
* Onua has a rather big number of these, oftentimes Big Damn Heroes-worthy. Of particular note is curbstomping Gorast when the Makuta is on the verge of murdering Gali, then doing it again when Gorast tries to lure him over to the dark side.
** Another moment for the Toa of Earth is when the Nuva learn they must [[spoiler: 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 [[spoiler: 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 HeroicSacrifice ending the Mahri Nui arc was such an awesome sacrifice that the ''Kanohi Ignika itself'' was impressed, and then made itself a Toa body to try to become a hero -- [[spoiler: and then sacrificed itself when asked what Matoro would've done in its situation]].
* [[spoiler: TheReveal of [[BigBad Makuta Teridax's]] EvilPlan 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?]]
** It's even better than that. [[spoiler: Teridax sent all of his most elite Makuta minions into Karda Nui, not to stop the Toa Nuva, but to be in the area when they succeeded, wiping them all out and leaving Teridax as the ONLY Makuta left in the universe.]]
** The online promos for the final battle ends with none other than the awakening of Mata Nui. At this point, it has been 10 years since we were first introduced to the story and the protagonists' overarching goal of awakening the great spirit, and the cinematic delivers on that. We don't see some messianic figure rise from a tomb, but a colossal robot from the deep. Slabs of land and ''mountains'' roll off his shoulders like cookie crumbs and at the end we see Mata Nui towering over the clouds in the sky in all his glory. As if to punctuate the majesty of the moment, the video goes silent with no narration from that point onwards.

[[AC:2009: Bara Magna: Glatorian Legends]]
* [[spoiler: Mata Nui vs Tuma. That is all.]]

[[AC:2010 and beyond: Journey's End / Sphereus Magna]]
* [[spoiler: Mata Nui pushing Teridax into the path of Aqua Magna, causing him to get MOONED! (head crushed [[ColonyDrop by the planet]], pulled in by the latter's own gravity powers.)]]
* According to a regretfully unfinished post story, [[spoiler: Velika, the Voya Nui Matoran who built the enhanced zamor launchers was actually a Great Being in disguise.]] Said character then proceeds to murder Karhazani (former ruler of Matoran hell) and [[EldritchAbomination Tren Krom]] (former ruler of the Matoran UNIVERSE). Why is not, and regrettably will probably never be clear, but it sure is impressive.
* Nektann's defeat. He tries to goad Tahu to fight fairly, like Zaktan did, but Tahu's not falling for the same trick twice. Tahu delivers a massive TheReasonYouSuckSpeech and proceeds to ''melt Nektann's armour''. [[spoiler: Then there's Tahu's defeat of all the Rahkshi, allowing Mata Nui to get the upper hand against Makuta.]]
[[AC:Commercials]]
* With Bionicle, even the advertising is great. Bionicle was meant to save Lego from bankruptcy. So as you can imagine, a lot of effort went into the advertising. So much effort and creativity that one has to wonder if it was the story promoting the toys or selling the toys to promote the story. I think we know the results by now.

Exactly how does [[Toys/{{Bionicle}} a line of action figures]] [[BuiltWithLego owned by]] {{Lego}} manage [[LongRunners to last for 10 Years]]? By being having SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments like these, that's how. Not only did it save Lego from bankruptcy but so much more. They could’ve just made six or so buildable action figures and have a simple story of good and even but no! Well written characters, incredible battles, amazing creatures, great bad guys including the villain to end all villains, all in an entire multiverse of endless possibilities!

* 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.

* This was after the movie, but there are two at the end of Time Trap, one for [[spoiler: Mata Nui]] and one for Vakama. At the end it's revealed that [[spoiler: the information the Toa found that revealed that they weren't originally supposed to be Toa at all was manufactured by the Great Spirit HIMSELF in order to convince Teridax to create the Toa he actually wanted. He pulled one over on the ultimate master planner!]] The other is when [[spoiler: Vakama talks Teridax down by ''threatening to destroy time itself!'' Needless to say, it worked.]]
* Even before that, Vakama gets several for being involved in battles involving characters that are all far more powerful than them and coming out on top. Even when faced with certain death, he warns the Shadowed One and Makuta that he can still turn them to ash before they cut him down, then proceeds to turn them against one another by pointing out that Makuta absorbed the Dark Hunters that the Shadowed One is trying to avenge. Then, there's him actually ''hurting'' Makuta by causing the temperature of his arm to go up [[UpToEleven several thousand degrees.]]

** What exactly is [[spoiler: Vakama's plan?]] Vakama brings Matau before Roodaka. [[spoiler: He then reveals to her that he's returned to his senses and no longer her ally]]. Roodaka considers ordering the Visorak horde to kill them all. [[spoiler: Vakama]] however out smarts Roodaka, by freeing the Visorak. The horde is more than happen to simply leave without a fight.

* If you think the Barraki commercial is good, the Toa Mahri movie is just awesome, partially the [[CrowningMusicOfAwesome music]] (which is "Crashed" by ''Music/Daughtry'' ), the voice acting and especially the [[VisualEffectsOfAwesome opening sequence.]]

If you think the Barraki commercial is good,the Toa Mahri movie is just awesome,partially the music(which is ''Crashed'' by Daughtry),the voice acting and espicially the opening sequence.

* Tahu leading an entire army of Bohrok to do battle with the Tahnok-Kal. Sure, it ends up backfiring on him, but it was awesome nonetheless.

* When the Bohrok-Kal are about to win, Tahu breaks out his secret weapon: the Kanohi Vahi, a mask that lets him STOP TIME [[DangerousForbiddenTechnique and could potentially destroy the Matoran Universe if he loses control of it. There's the GodzillaThreshold and then there's that...
