* InspirationForTheWork: The main plot of ''BIONICLE'' (or more specifically, the long-hidden twist that ended up shaping the franchise's MythArc) was born out of a somewhat morbid personal story from series co-creator Christian Faber: in 1986, Faber was diagnosed with having a benign brain tumor that required him to take a pill to weed out over the course of a decade, enduring all the nasty side effects that come with it. To cope with it, he began fantasizing that the pills he was taking were tiny soldiers, uniting to do battle with the tumor in his brain. When he eventually got to working with LEGO, he noticed the new form of packaging they were testing out -- a canister -- and had a EurekaMoment when it reminded him of the capsules he'd spent eating for 10 years, inspiring at least the first three years of the storyline.

* HarpoDoesSomethingFunny: Set designer Brian Ellis in his retrospective revealed that the designers were only given the most bare bones descriptions for the themes of a year, giving the designers ultimately free-reign on what the toys looked like. However, this also had the consequence of the story writers reinterpreting the intentions behind design choices; for instance Ellis revealed that his [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCvTJVc_1WU idea]] for Nuparu Mahri was for him to breathe liquidized oxygen as inspired by ''Film/TheAbyss'', but Greg Farshtey wrote all the Toa Mahri as having gills despite the toys having scuba gear-like breathing apparatuses.
