8	!!This series contains examples of:
9
10	* AgainstTheSettingSun: Kopaka at the end of Chapter Three when he announces that the group should head to Kini-Nui [[spoiler: now that they have collected all the masks of power.]]
11	* ArtEvolution:Obviously. Early on, the artwork is laughable at best, but like any other series BM's art style has changed alot in the almost three years it has existed. Roughly almost halfway through Chapter Two, Tahu starts sporting black jeans. The characters proportions look kinda goofy early on, but gradually get better. The Toa weapons (Kopaka and Tahu's sword) changed, the art itself is starting to look cleaner, and Gali looks far more feminine than she did in her debut. Compare [[http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pickle962/BM/bionicle_manga_ch__1_page_11_by_pickle962-d3kynw7.jpg this]] to [[http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pickle962/BM/100_1474.jpg this]]
12	* AuthorAppeal: The main reason for BM's existence? pickle962 was a huge fan of bionicle when he was little.
13	* {{Brainwashed and Crazy}}: [[spoiler: As Kopaka, Gali, and Onua discover in Chapter Three the rahi wern't always so dangerous. Being under the influence of Makuta's infected masks just amplified their natural instincts.]]
14	* BerserkButton: [[http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pickle962/BM/100_1377.jpg Unless you want Kopaka to angrily yell at you, please do not goof off...]]
15	** [[http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/pickle962/BM/100_1508.jpg Gali isn't afraid to tell someone off if they act without thinking...]]
16	*** [[http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5356869 It seems to get under Takua's skin every time someone fails to realize who he is...]]
17	*** [[http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=5236501 Tahu hates it when others don't agree with his plans...]]
18	%%* BlingBlingBang: The Golden Kanohi
19	* BreakingTheFourthWall: Happens at the start of Chapter One when the narrator tells Tahu Mata to get a move on and the latter pleads for five more minutes.
20	* CaptainObvious Tahu calls Pohatu this when the latter exclaims that the former is about to have some "bad company" (the duo were fighting tarakava at the time)
21	* ChestInsignia: Both Lewa and Pohatu have these on their shirts and they represent the Air and Stone elements respectively.
22	* CrazyEnoughToWork: Lewa's idea of retrieving Pohatu's Mask of Breathing in Chapter Three...
23	* EarlyBirdCameo: Both Mata Nui and Makuta Teridax show up in the prolouge. [[spoiler: They both play important roles later on in the actual Bionicle storyline which BM is based off of.]]
24	** [[spoiler: Also, don't forget the hallucination Gali has about the Toa Kaita in Chapter Two]]
25	* DreamingOfThingsToCome: Happens to Gali after getting knocked out cold by a tarakava in chapter two...
26	* DontSneakUpOnMeLikeThat: Kopaka is shocked/surprised when a Nui-Rama sneaks up and nearly ambushs him and Matoro. Thankfully, he quickly freezes it.
27	%%* ElementalPowers:
28	%%** AnIcePerson: Kopaka Mata
29	%%** BlowYouAway: Lewa Mata
30	%%** DishingOutDirt: Onua Mata. This trope could also apply to Pohatu Mata since Earth and Stone are both similar.
31	%%** MakingASplash: Gali Mata
32	%%** PlayingWithFire: Tahu Mata
33	* FlamingSword: Tahu's preferred weapon.
34	* FriendOrFoe: Kopaka asks this at the end of Chapter One when he and Pohatu first encounter the other Toa.
35	* HotBlooded: Tahu Mata
36	* IdiotHero: Tahu may be the leader of the Toa Mata, but that certianly doesn't make him the wisest. Case point in being, Page three of Chapter Four.
37	-->'''Lewa:''' Wait! What if we are ambushed by Rahi upon our return to this place?
38	-->'''Tahu:''' Oh! I...I...I umm
39	** The note on that page even lampshades this trope!
40	* IWorkAlone: Kopaka says this to Pohatu at first when the latter tries persuading the former to work together. he later uses this as an excuse to try and ditch the other Toa after thier first battle as a team near the end of chapter two.
41	* LethalLavaLand: Ta-Koro
42	* MaskOfPower: Same as the actual Bionicle storyline, The Toa Mata have these except you never see them on their faces...Perhaps they use their Kanohi powers mentally?
43	** ArtificialGill: Mask of Water Breathing
44	** BarrierWarrior: Mask of Shielding
45	** NotQuiteFlight: Mask of Leviation
46	** SuperSpeed: Mask of Speed
47	** SuperStrength: Mask of Strengh
48	** XRayVision: Mask of X-Ray Vision
49	* ManOnFire: Parodied in the first page of Chapter One when Tahu's hand catches on fire when he dons his mask. After picking up a sword, it got better.
50	* PersonalityPowers:
51	** Tahu Mata controls fire, and has no problem using it when he's angry. An example of this is when most of the other Toa shoot down his idea to work in groups to find the Great Masks of Power. He storms off to Ta-Koro and starts randomly shooting fire out of his sword as a way to vent his frustration.[[spoiler: he almosts burns poor Jaller too...]]
52	** Kopaka controls ice and is quite the lone wolf. When he's judging the other Toa at the start of Chapter Two, he notes that Lewa is quite entergetic while the latter is doing a handstand and grinning as well. Kopaka then comes to the conclusion that Lewa's limberness might be part of his personality.
53	** Gali is normally calm and collected as the Toa of Water
54	* PoorCommunicationKills: Played for laughs when Kopaka is buried under a pile of rocks after Pohatu tried to warn him to move out of the way. Also happens again in Chapter Two when Onua tries to catch Tahu and fails after the latter is picked up by a Nui-Rama and is dropped quite a distance...Of course,[[RuleofFunny Tahu doesn't really get hurt despite falling from that high.]]
55	* ThePowerOfFriendship: The Toa Mata realize this during their first battle as a team in Chapter Two...
56	* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Everyone that's appeared thus far looks quite human. Heck, the Nui-Rama looks like a mutant insect. The Muaka looks like a lion, The Nui-Jaga looks like a scorpion, and the Tarakava look like bipedal lizards...
57	* ShotForShotRemake: This comic is based off the actual Bionicle storyline and so far, the adaptatation hasn't strayed too far from its source material.
58	** Pages 2-11 of Chapter One are a remake of the first Bionicle Comic from the 2001-2003 run...
59	** Chapter Two retells the tales found in Bionicle Chronicles 1 and also pulls from the second and third bionicle comic of the 2001-2003 series...
60	** Chapter Three's source material comes from Bionicle Chronicles 1
61	** Chapter Four again used BC 1 for most of it's plot! It even added Takua the Chronicler and his [[RagTagTeamOfMisfits]] who previously only appeared in the Mata Nui Online Game, an interactive flash game which told the 2001 storyline from the aforementioned Matoran's perspective!
62	* ShoutOut: Tahu, Lewa, and Pohatu's hair styles all look similar to that of [[WesternAnimation/TheSimpsons a certain yellow boy... ]]
63	* TheSmurfettePrinciple: Same as in the actual bionicle storyline, Gali's the only woman on the team.
64	* SuperDeformed: Takua in Chapter Four when he get's bent out of shape after Onua asks who he is...
65	* WhatTheHellHero:
66	** Gali gives a lecture to Tahu near the end of Chapter 3 after the latter carelessly shoots a fire ball at a tree containing a Kanohi mask that the group needs.
67	** She gives another one in Chapter 4 to [[spoiler: Kopaka]] of all people. Maybe kicking [[spoiler: Tahu]] down a large hole wasn't worth it after all...
68	* WhatWouldXDo: Tahu asks this early on in chapter two when he is ambushed by tiny scorpions that absorb fire. Thank god he though of Lewa...
69	* XRayVision: Kopaka's main mask power
