B for Bionicle [RTVS fan edit]

[@andromedasummer]

genuinely my favourite of all the tier lists they've ever done just because of waynes sheer enthusiasm and awe at hollys love and knowledge of bionicles. i wish every autistic person doing an infodump on their special interest a wayne in their life.

[@ShadowHeartValentine]

Holly has the deep lore. Shes like the head scholar of a fallen civilization

[@quantumblauthor7300]

She's the chronicler. You didn't think those golden locks were real hair? That's the Avohkii's signature spikes, fool!

Does Holly have Bionicle lore videos?

thia edit is, honestly, kind of badass...

[@ji1109]

Holly, bionicle anthropologist

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

A Biochronicler, if you will. _(Despite the vast lore that is NOT a real word, I made that up)_

[@probpob4155]

no fucking way… he’s actualy awesome…..noo dude!! nooo! he’s so cool!! and he’s like a chara - he’s a character that he can………

[@AzuriteCoast]

I think Wayne said badass at least once a minute

Ass-baddening factory

Galok-Kal's tool is a magnetic shield. This COLLECTS, controls, and directs the power of magnetism from the earth, which can be employed as a defensive force field against attack or be used as a formidable offensive tool.

[@knonkidonk]

I'm only 4 minutes in and geniunely, Wayne telling Holly she was so cool for her Bionicle knowledge was so sweet and wholesome! Honestly, one of the best things about having friends is just letting them go off on their infodumps while you sit and listen to them. The passion in their voices each time just brings me a huge smile and this video is no exception.

[@RevengeRaptorREAL]

"Mike is the christopher robin of bionicles" awww lmao

[@joltstorm64]

wow, this tierlist is kinda badass

[@tsavorix2993]

I patiently await the day of bionicle stream

[@hauntorthegiraffebiscuit]

Cannot come soon enough.

now that she's done all of the video games, i hope she does the Bionicle next

0:38 "we have to go through this kind of quick"... And there's over twenty minutes remaining

[@ImWeirdAndILikeIt]

I want to hear holly explain all the bionicle lore so so bad

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

We’re all so hungry for it

[@Bec-Son]

Honestly there is something so beloved about bionicle, its entire idea is amazing but also just super inspiring by having children see these mechanical beings as heroes to nature I always gravitated towards them because how strange they were but also how, me they felt.

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

There is something here that Hero Factory and G2 Bionicle wasn’t able to capture. Yes, Bionicle lived like several times the expected LEGO theme lifespans, but time was just a factor. We did not begin with beings we were spoonfed told that these were made to be heroes. The tone was generally edgier, but that came after the story grew up from the wonder. Wonder…_that_ was it. They didn’t have serials yet. They had a flash game, where you firsthand explored the world crafted with its inhabitants in mind. You find out yourself what is happening on the island, _you_ learned of the elementals yourself, through word of elders, or happenstance adventure. Either way, you weren’t only told what they were - you *_witness_* heroes in action. As it was updated over time, before it was made obsolete, only then was space made for another generation of heroes to reveal themselves. And then another to take their mantle. And rogues, and help, and creatures or warlords. Bionicle, as it stood, was a unique take on Action Figures as constructible toysets; “Constraction Figures.” It was even responsible for keeping LEGO from bankruptcy to make up for the licensing payments to LucasArts for you-know-what. To those who paid dear attention, Bionicle was a toyline that played the setting for an adventure, a giant story, a pantheon, and a mythology. The BioSector wiki holds pages and pages of these tales and documents, many of which diverge from the protagonists themselves to flesh out the circumstances that create the story, and world within. They were all part of the Biological Chronicle. It was great. And it was _great._

[@tripled2096]

genuinely i think that the reboot sets were amazing, and i wish the media and story accompanying them was literally worth anything. They really dropped the ball with that

[@eightcoins4401]

While welldesigned i felt ccbs lacked some of the charm of the more dtailed and connectable pieces of the og lineup

[@ryoki_PH]

bionicle! bionicle!

[@blackvelvetopia]

4:35 LMAOOOO HELL YEAH velvetopia checking in!!! I must admit I was about as zooted as wayne was at this point in the stream and was typing this comparison through tears with the grinch video looping in another tab

[@Arbmanthesheep]

Not gonna lie, this highlights vid is kinda badass.

[@sangwitch]

this video made me desperately wanna go find my old bionicles. i loved those ones that curl into a ball so much

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

I’m extremely sad that I’ve only got dudes and pieces, _many, many pieces,_ that were almost entirely made post 2008. I have 2 major options: 1. The sockets of these limbs, especially if they were colored _like the dastardly lime,_ were much cheaper than their predecessors, and were infamous for being brittle. 2. CCBS, which is made to last much longer, but certain pieces have begun to falter too, _namely the small extenders._ They were also more reliant on its own system’s pieces instead of the former Technic system most sets are known for, so they’re more limiting that way. Further unfortunately, I have only Tahu variants that have survived whole. On the bright side, the MOCs I’ve made out of every other set has more or less retained their shape, and I remember their characters.

[@quantumblauthor7300]

_Web of Shadows_ and the Barraki did something to me. Stepped on the butterfly or something.

[@SagaHanson25]

I am happy to say that this is one of two I suggested for this stream that got selected (the other one was the Well Known Pigs one that has the cow from Barnyard instead of the PIG from barnyard)

[@monkeydad47]

I hate that first media share song it makes me feel so stressful everytime i rewatch this stream.

[@ultr4tr1ps]

more like B is for Badass..

[@Apotheosister]

When I saw this in the recommendation I thought Holly did the Bionicle stream, and was so excited I went to her channel immediately. I can't say I'm too disappointed, this is my favorite list of the tier time stream. So it's a free opportunity to rewatch it!

[@biddyfox]

The first two minutes of this video where the background music is like ominous circuit bent acid house has an indescribable energy

[@ShadowHeartValentine]

Bionicle feet

[@eightcoins4401]

Hordika *below* Stars is certainly a hot take

[@mimipeahes5848]

Watched this instead of getting ready for work.

[@PriscillaTheDoll]

hottest holly has ever been

[@Blattella]

real

[@BigChallenges]

This was my favorite part of the stream. I really loved Wayne's enthusiasm for learning about Bionicle.

[@milesbrown2261]

I adore Wayne’s energy here he’s so enamored by Holly’s infinite knowledge on Bionicle. 22:47 this quote is so funnyyyyyyy

[@enibenni3289]

the day the bionicle stream is created the world will know true enlightenment

[@fp-qb4qe]

this video is badass

[@hexedcrab]

a holly bionicle series would be so hype

[@lochness7419]

My cousin LOOVED bionicles so by default my grandma ended up getting me and my siblings sets as well and we would take them apart and make scary abominations with them. All this to say that's the only point of reference for them and this is a fascinating video

[@HellishSpoon]

Bionicle forever man

[@LifesNeverHumDrum]

I was so excited thinking this was finally The Bionicle Stream but I will happily watch this tier list bit again

[@lihan1234]

I fucking love that small jpeg picture of wayne u used for the thumbnail. Its so good.

[@milktrician]

ill let u know this is the only picture i have of wayne on my pc. i love it a lot

[@lepome3]

Holly, I love you

[@rigorgrynn]

Man Bionicle was so fucking cool. Edgy is back, they should try again.

[@rigorgrynn]

I'd love to see the modern version of the fuck off $200 set

[@TheFuzzyOcelot]

finally streamers who understand what i truly care about: the legend of mata nui edit: fools choices the mahri and phantoka are dope ignition trilogy for life rest in peace matoro (this is a sarcasm i have no strong feelings about tier list placements)

[@quantumblauthor7300]

The ironic nature of the comment has lessened my enjoyment of it :(

[@TheFuzzyOcelot]

@@quantumblauthor7300 i mean those are my actual opinions the sarcastic part was the "anger" since i don't want people to think im genuinely angry at someone over a decades old story i do think ignition was the peak of the series though

[@bagea]

holly? more like,,, hali...

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

Naming Day (that one lawsuit) says it’s spelt Hahli now So now it’s like…Hohlli?

[@tahunuva4254]

The rahi were cool as fuck, but so weird. "Hi, I'm Tarakava! I'm a lizard!" "...And definitely not a gopher!"

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

If you look them up on the BioSector page, a good chunk of them (mostly fauna that aren’t significant to any stories) are actually accepted fan submissions, the whole collective making up respective compendiums depending on, I think, what contests what years they were in. Semirelated, not a submission: is also worth noting that the island that houses the secret Order of Mata Nui has actual cats, which are like smaller versions of the jaguar-like Rahi from way back in 2001.

[@B.H.L.studios]

Toa mahri in d is criminal!

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

I can see what Holly means, but dangit was I a sucker for their aesthetic! It was also the second wave that they began to majorly diversify their silhouettes, compared to most previous waves generally being clones.

[@pluszowyszczurek438]

i wouldve put them a tier higher just because of hahli mahri

[@diz5313]

Man, I used to have the two Mata Nui figures. The big one was cool, I remember getting it from Toys R Us.

[@polocatfan]

bionicle is wild

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

Neuron activation Would you like to know more about…anything?

[@palecaptainwolfkayls8499]

Mata Nui, the name of Bionicle rises again?! Heck yeah. Fun fact about the Barraki: Supposedly the Squid Launchers, the gimmick that didn’t work, was actually _nerfed_ because they were TOO STRONG. Imagine the cannons (Midak Skyblasters) that the Toa Phantoka came with later, but it was thrice as strong.

[@theishiopian68]

The thought of those booger looking squid things flying at you with enough force to bruise is horrifying and I love it

[@RoxasFromPoss]

this edits kinda badass. with swag

[@peasaladdeluxe6392]

Holy fuck i was smiling wide by the end of this hell yeah

[@bagea]

bionicle AND wayneradiotv mentioned...

[@Edd_Harr]

I grew up in the Hero Factory era, my understanding of Bionicle is next to nil but clearly people absolutely loved it.

[@QuartzRoolz]

Wayne should play MNOG. TBH _most_ people should play MNOG

[@Bec-Son]

Also technic stuff is still super used but Lego is afraid of embracing weird robots. One wish would be they revisited old sets and reimagined them to better quality. Like each wave/gen was represented by one toa or makuta

[@Vaksharules1999]

I really want them to rerelease Bionicle. I want the Barraki, Rahkshi, and Glatorian waves.

[@stoovano]

Toa mahri at d? Holly must pay (idk who holly is)

[@jorymo4964]

oh hell yeah I got a shout-out right off the bat

[@outlier9099]

I thought it was B for Milk

[@sentientblender]

those takes on the 2007 waves are absolute slander, exceedingly rare hollowtones L

[@eightcoins4401]

I mean, 2007 was when the limegreen pieces got super fragile. Thats gonna knock off a few points. Ehlek broke when i built him back in 2007. Only is on my shelf intact because i bought older versions of the pieces years later.

Theres literally no voice changer in the video.
