There's Something So Appealing About The Dichotomy Between Light And Sound And Av-Matoran Vs. De-Matoran

On the LEGO Group issuing a C&D to Team Kanoho, it's worse than Nintendo, like, hitting yet another fangame with the banhammer, or whatever, right? To me. Because Nintendo has active IPs, with active fans, and are actively releasing product for people to buy. Unlike Pokémon, Bionicle is just dead. Fan projects like this are the only way to keep it alive and if people can't make them, that's it. And just like when Nintendo does it, this now sets a predecent going forward: This Could Happen To You. This is going to kill a lot of hope people might have in the future of Bionicle.

My work is finally done. It's fairly basic and I'm still kinda new to this animation/modeling style but I'm happy to finally have this image in my head in a visual form. At any moment a Matoran of Light could turn into a bohrok, so I wanted to creep-factor (thanks majora's mask) and I hope I pulled it off

(Sound effects are the deku scrub mask transformation from majora's mask and the song is the song of healing also from majora's mask)

I hope yall like it and have a happy Bionicle Day

How many of the Matoran were OCs made by the Great Beings? How many of the other GSR residents were also OC builds?

This thought just took over my entire brain for the next week…

A little theory that I wanna share here: the matoran of light and shadow we got in Phantoka/Mistika years have the wrong color scheme.

'What do you mean, you crazy person?'

I'm glad you asked.

Takua was the only Av-matoran we knew of (even before they had a name) and his color was very much an outlier amongst the Ta-matoran, red and blue (and yellow) in a sea of reds, yellows and orange.

You know what has ties to the light matoran and a blue and red color scheme? Bohrok. A blue kraana inside of a red and orange shell. I don't know if that was intentional or just a design choice, but that got me thinking...

Theory: the matoran of light had similar color schemes to matoran of other elements, with a contrasting colored mask.

But how could this be a theory if I could only draw on one example? So I searched the other matoran of light sets. Blue and black, red and black, Grey and black, green and gray, orange and gray, white and gray. No, no, no, no, no, no. There had to be at least one other matoran to boost the believability of my theory...

Then it hit me. Vican. Black and like green. Just like his supposed Bohrok counterpart.

Of course the lime green wasn't exclusively on his mask but it was something!

Not only that, but when you think about it, Vican could easily have been one of the first shadow matoran, and was definitely the first to start reversing the corruption. So, his color, his light, was returning.

In summary, the matoran of light should have different colored masks.

Some dark variants based on a black light pic, figured they glow cuz they’re an av-matoran

Realized the protector masks look somewhat feline so drew a friend's moc as a cat boy lol

Bohrok, but they're the perfect organism.

Matoran still turn into them but in more of a turned inside out kind of way.

Got an amazing post for y'all today. This one took some diving!

Color chart of the Mata Nui Online Game Character Creation Kit. Work on this was started by Matoran Onknu and later Takuma Nuva

These sprites are very large, so I'll post a read more below. Onknu's account was lost to time, and Takuma Nuva's account doesn't contain very many kits. Refy's account led me to Roablin, the unsung hero of the MNOLG-style Character Creation Kit. This user took the lost work of Onknu and Takuma Nuva and assembled complete sprite kits.
