''Bionicle Adventures'' is a StopMotion animation series that primarily uses {{BIONICLE}} toys as the models. It was made by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/robomaniac7 robomaniac7]] (aka "Nose Picking Clay Men Productions") between 2007 and 2012.

There are ten episodes, and a handful of "bonus" content:
2007: ''Bionicle Fight'', ''The Candy Shoppe Revolt'', ''The Kid Torturing Bionicle at Wal-Mart'', ''The Evil, Transforming Matoran'', and ''Paco's Taco Shack''.
2008: ''Compilation of Short Bionicle Movies'', ''Let It Snow Already! Jeez!!!'', and ''Geeks and Transformers''.
2009: ''Jonny's New Year's Eve Party''
2011: ''The Candy Man's Candy''

[=Robomaniac7=] also released a satirical video in 2007 called ''The Most Politically Correct Movie''. On May 19, 2012, he announced that the series was ending and released ''Unreleased and Removed Bionicle Adventures'', which consists of several removed movies (''The Ballet'', ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin The Effects of Playing Transformers, With Friends, Up Late, At Grandma's House]]''), some test animations (''Bionicles'', ''a test''), and a few incomplete episodes (''Summer Jobs'', ''Scarbucks'', ''Yellow'')

The series mostly relies on "stupid humor", nonsensical plotlines, and senseless violence.

!!Bionicle Adventures contains the following tropes:

* AerithAndBob: Jimmy, Jonny, Eddy, Brandon, Connor...and then we have Achu, Evil Santa, Mr. Stupid, The Candy Man, Monkeydude, and The Torturing Guy.
* TheAhnold: Eddy, from ''Jonny's New Year's Eve Party'' onwards.
* AxCrazy: Monkeydude has shown signs of this.
** Don't forget the Torturing Guy.
* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [=Robomaniac7=] loves these.

* BlandNameProduct: "[[http://www.starbucks.com Scarbucks]]"
* BrickJoke: Mr. Stupid's presidential campaign returns in ''Jonny's New Year's Eve Party''. In typical [=robomaniac7=] fashion, there's a bunch of random violence.

* ChandlersLaw: Unintentionally invoked in ''The Kid Torturing Bionicle At Wal-Mart'' (see BigLippedAlligatorMoment above)
* DeathIsCheap: Everyone dies all the time, but there are two instances when a character dies twice in one video: Daniel, who accidentally kills himself in ''The Kid Torturing Bionicle At Wal-Mart'' and then gets killed later, and David in ''The Effects Of Playing Transformers With Friends, Up Late, At Grandma's House''.
* DemotedToExtra: Kevin and David appear less and less as the story goes on.
* HotBlooded: Daniel.
* InexplicablyIdenticalIndividuals: One character (Turaga Dume in Bionicle canon) is used by [=Robomaniac7=] as multiple background characters, including the "cool" guy, the presidential debate's announcer, and an avid football fan.
* KillEmAll: Everyone dies. Every time.
* MoreDakka: All of Jimmy's revolts consist of this; so do Daniel, Paul, and Brandon.
* MostFanficWritersAreFans: An interesting aversion; despite [=robomaniac7=] primarily using Bionicle figures to animate with, he claims that he is "not a Bionicle fanboy" and as such wouldn't join websites such as BZPower.
* NoIndoorVoice: Daniel's voice can sound like this sometimes, with a touch of PunctuatedForEmphasis.
-->''BECAUSE! The AMOUNT of STUPIDITY is PLEASURABLE!''
* NegativeContinuity: Nobody dies permanently...but people occasionally do recall events from the past.
* OnlySixFaces: Zig-zagged; rather than sharing faces, several characters have bodies that are basically identical (besides colors) to others. Examples include Jimmy, Jonny, and Eddy's playmate; Connor, Achu, and Daniel also use the same builds.
* RuleZero: Depending on how you interpret it, the game in ''Jonny's New Year's Eve Party'' could be interpreted as this.
--> '''Eddy's playmate''': So, if I move this guy here, that means I kill your guy, right?
--> '''Eddy''': No-NO IT DOESN'T KILL MY GUY, MY GUY HAS TWO MACHINE GUNS
--> '''Eddy's playmate''': What are you talking about though? You said you-
--> '''Eddy''': SHUT UP WOMAN! Uh, it is your turn Monkeydude, uh, you play now.
--> '''Monkeydude''': My guy burns all yours because...*indistinguishable muttering smothered out due to the sizzling sounds*
--> *Monkeydude kills Eddy and the other guy*
* RunningGag: The series loves these.
** Jimmy's addiction to revolts, and his tendency to label his every action as a "revolt".
** Monkeydude, Eddy, and one other guy playing toys (either that or a tabletop RPG) together. Then Monkeydude kills them all by burning them - and their toys - to a crisp.
** Paco's Taco Shack.
** Paul being unable to enter the secret doors, leading to [=Robomaniac7=] reaching down, picking Paul up, and slamming him against the hidden door.
*** Taken UpToEleven during ''Scarbucks'', when Paul accidentally rips off the Scarbucks' door and [=Robomaniac7=] has to ''shoot'' Paul into the building using a pistol.
** Half the characters dying at the end of the video; then Monkeydude jumps in and kills everyone still alive. This happens on basically every one of the new videos; in the old videos, there was always senseless violence at the end, leading to everyones' deaths.
*** This is even acknowledged by [=Robomaniac7=] as what makes his series so memorable.
* TalkingToHimself
* TakeThat:
** ''The Most Politically Correct Movie''. "Don't vote for Hillary!"
*** HilariousInHindsight when you look at the 2016 presidential election.
** The parody SoapOpera in ''Jonny's New Year's Eve Party'', labeled by Daniel as "terrible".

* TemptingFate:
--> '''Connor''': Hopefully this time no one will kill us!
--> *Monkeydude opens the door and kills Connor and Achu*
* TheyKilledKennyAgain: The entire cast, except Monkeydude. Eddy stands out because he dies almost immediately after he appears during all of his appearances.

--> '''[=Robomaniac7=]''': I forced my voice up two octaves
--> '''[=Robomaniac7=]''': one day after this video was posted, I lost my voice. lol. im gonna get someone else to do his voice for future movies.
** Later, he changed Daniel's voice to "that of a dying emu".
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: A couple characters completely disappeared from the series, such as the "Polar Bear".
* YetAnotherStupidDeath: Let's see...there's Jimmy and Jonny in ''Let It Snow Already!
