* Not...not really. Especially not on the Decepticons being comparable to the Dark Hunters. The Dark Hunters don't want to destroy everything and take over the world - they're merely mercenaries, and take jobs from their boss based on their abilities. They do what the job entails, and then return home to count their money. They're more ChaoticNeutral than ChaoticEvil. A more accurate comparison might be the Brotherhood of Makuta to the Decepticons, but even that is seriously pushing it.

[[WMG: What other characters' Rhotuka powers would be]]
We know that pretty much everyone would have a different Rhotuka power, but only a few have been demonstrated. What would the Rhotuka powers of other characters be?
* Tahu: Traps the target in a constant energy shield.
* Gali: Causes a miniature raincloud to appear over the target and rain on them before striking them with lightning. If used underwater, it instead causes a whirlpool that sucks targets in.
* Lewa: [[LaserGuidedAmnesia Makes the target forget what they were doing]].
* Onua: Works like a flash grenade, making the target temporarily half-blind and vulnerable to bright light.
* Kopaka: Makes the target feel such an intense cold that they can't concentrate.
* Pohatu: Flies around the target, then grabs onto them, lifts them into the air, then slams them into the ground.
* Takua/Takanuva: Forcibly increases the amount of light in a target. If used on a Makuta or another being of pure shadow, it forces a small amount of inner light into them and creates a barrier to prevent them from becoming fully shadow again.
* Vakama (Toa Metru/Turaga): Temporarily alters the target's perception of reality so they are easier to convince to aid Vakama.
* Nokama (Toa Metru/Turaga): Hypnotises the target for a period of time.
* Matau (Toa Metru/Turaga):
* Onewa (Toa Metru/Turaga):
* Whenua (Toa Metru/Turaga):
* Nuju (Toa Metru/Turaga): Strikes the target and emits a ultrasonic sound that summons flying Rahi to attack or guard the target.
* Gaaki (Toa Hagah):
* Bomonga (Toa Hagah):
* Kualus (Toa Hagah):
* Pouks (Toa Hagah): Temporarily paralyses the target's legs.
* Jaller: [[SuperEmpowering Temporarily grants the target immense courage]], which can be used to help a ally overcome their fears or make someone into a FearlessFool.
* Hahli: Cures the target of any poison or mutation affecting it.
* Matoro: Temporarily makes a target lose all feelings of anger and hostility.
* Kongu: [[SuperEmpoweringWorks like a temporary Kanohi Kadin, making the target fly.]]
* Nuparu: [[BodyHorror Causes a target's biomechanical components to temporarily act of their own accord.]]
* Hewkii: Covers the target from the neck down in a thick coating of stone.
* Axonn: [[AllYourPowersCombined A combined blast of]] [[PlayingWithFire fire]], [[DishingOutDirt earth]], [[MakingASplash water]] and [[BlowYouAway air.]]
* Brutaka: A similar [[AllYourPowersCombined combined blast of]] [[AnIcePerson ice]], [[DishingOutDirt stone]], [[ShockAndAwe lightning]] and [[ExtraOreDinary iron]].

The Great Beings originally created the Prototype Robot and called it Okoto. Before it could leave Bara Magna's atmosphere, it malfunctioned and shot all of its denizen robots and its equivalent of Metru Nui into Aqua Magna. The "Toa" of Okoto got stuck in orbit. The reboot universe happens and some unseen catastrophe happens, leaving Aqua Magna barren once more. The Great Beings, using their god-tier technology, observed all this happening and, without context, only saw Makuta's success over Ekimu, so they made a race of Makuta for their next project, Mata Nui. In an alternate universe, Ekimu was successful over Makuta, so the great beings made a race of Ekimu, explaining the light-based Makuta of the Melding Alternate Universe.

[[WMG: The 2015 series is revealed to in fact not be a mass reboot, but a stealthily hidden continuation]]
The story of the Toa aside from them crashing from asteroids seems pretty vague, as revealed in introductory material so far. Judging from this, it seems somewhat possible that Mata Nui sent them to help other planets aside from Bara Magna, as they came from space. They also seem pretty powerful already, as if they were battle hardened, compare the chunkiness of sets of now to way back when, in which they would most accurately be the "titans" of the present toyline. There are also a good fair share of dark beings who took the mantle of "Makuta", maybe this is just another, and Akumu is a being of similar stature to Mata Nui who met a more unfortunate fate. You can't rule out any major twists, especially when they kept the "Mata Nui being the entire world" thing under wraps the entire run of the previous line.

[[WMG: The kanohi masks act as a sort of save file for the wearer]]
If you remember in the Mask of Life film, Takutanuva ressurrects Jaller from just his mask. The same mask was once worn by Lhikaan. So why wasn't Lhikaan ressurrected instead? Because he took the mask off before he died. Jaller was wearing the mask when he died, so he was essentially "saved" to the mask, allowing him to be ressurrected. Whether this is affected by the wearer's destiny as a toa (former or future) is anyone's guess.
* That would explain the Deus ex Machina of reviving Takanuva in the same movie.

[[WMG: The events of ''Franchise/{{Bionicle}} Heroes'' are {{canon}} in the form of an AlternateUniverse]]
If you notice the cutscenes and gameplay, [[http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/BIONICLE_Heroes in all]] [[http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/BIONICLE_Heroes/DS versions of]] ''[[http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/BIONICLE_Heroes/GBA Bionicle]] [[http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/BIONICLE_Heroes/Mobile Heroes]]'', you're not actually playing as the Toa Inika, but a {{Shapeshifter}} taking the form of the Toa Inika.

In this timeline, Jaller, Hahli, Kongu, Hewkii, Nuparu, and Matoro are the Toa Mata, transformed from Matoran instead of created as Toa long ago. Like the Toa Mata of the Prime Universe, they were ambushed and unmasked by the Piraka. As for who fills the role of the Toa Inika...

In enters "Silver", a Matoran who, for some odd reason, has no Elemental Energies, resulting in his grayish-silver color scheme for which he is named. He's an outsider, unable to get any work due to his lack of RequiredSecondaryPowers. Perhaps it is because of Karzahni's shoddy repairs, perhaps he was simply born that way. No-one knows, his past (and true name) are lost to time. His only friend is Balta, and in his spare time, they worked together on an experimental tool called the Koro-Nui Launcher.

Silver witnessed the capture of the Toa Mata, and fled, discovering a pool of Energized Protodermis. Silver was reluctant at first; there was no telling if was destined to transform or die by the substance, and if he were to transform, there was no telling if it would be a favorable form. But he knew he had no other purpose, he had to take that risk. Indeed, the risk paid off, as he had emerged a Toa, one that could gain a charge of Elemental Energy simply by touching a trace amount of it, even from the energy imprint left by the Toa Mata's masks. His Koro-Nui became a transforming tool that took a form best suited to the Element has was commanding at the time. This new-found power finally gave Silver a purpose as he rescued and joined the Toa.

This being an AlternateUniverse also explains Nidhiki, Krekka, and Sidorak being alive and Axonn's AdaptationalVillainy somehow.

Given the success of those shows, the proven success of the ''Bionicle'' franchise and an attempt to make the story more accessible to smaller children (One of the reasons for the hiatus is that the plot became too complicated), it only makes sense. Bonus points if it has a large adult PeripheryDemographic (more so than the other two) and become LEGO's DarkerAndEdgier TV series.
