kinda sad thath darkhunters after 2005 were almost forgotten in the story and no one knows what happend to them after teridax was defeated, so much story potential.

[@bentoncozzi612]

They probably became some sort of mercenary guild on SM if I had to guess, maybe recruiting some malicious Glatorian and Agori like Metus.

[@DioStandProud]

@@user-qg1mw5tz1q not really. They were an abrupt addition in 2005 and while they were referenced in LoMN and it's sister material, they literally had no true backstory and seemed more like their first attempt at making a gang archetype in Bionicle.

[@Hyper-Pink]

These hold up extremely well for 2005 MOCs

[@The_Dinosaur_Heretic]

I’ll tell you what, not all of them are. It’s clear very young kids built these characters

[@DioStandProud]

@@Hyper-Pink You couldn't be more wrong lol 😂 these look SO BAD. Even by the standards back then. I know damn well kid me would've done a much better job for Lego.

[@purplehaze2358]

"Yo, Guardian being some kind of like, mad scientist experiment or a- a cyborg? That's a great idea!" He says when every inhabitant of the Matoran universe falls into both categories.

[@Aranthappyrobot]

While the people who designed the Shadowed One combiner likely intended for it to just be an extra leg, in story at least it is officially a tail.

[@purplehaze2358]

The world would be a better place overall if every character which didn't have its own set was given this treatment.

[@duckybeakster532]

Imagine if Lurker had the poisoned Tahu nuva mask that would go so hard

[@WombatCombatPictures]

Ah, that explains why my Shadowed One tweet is getting traction again, thanks for the shout out Ben!

[@droconistheantisentient1721]

This revamp version of the guardian is my favorite one that I've seen so far.

[@evgenyransky3545]

Lurker has a blaster in his hands for a reason. This is the Hagah Plasma Cannon, which he was once given to capture Toa Varian

[@nitromenace1424]

Ancient was always my favorite Dark Hunter. He just had such a presence. He looked like if the Incredible Hulk was a Rahkshi. Would totally have bought a set of him if given the chance.

[@scottdraper2419]

7:00 When ben says that he's his favorite. He is not kidding!!! I wasn't sure at first but then I started understanding why he liked it the best👍

[@XLY-hm2uq]

1:55 that brain is selmas head from the simpsons

[@GermanFFreddy]

Revamp lurker's blaster looks like a gun in Halo.

[@c4rots620]

Thomas Dolan must have been like like the Jayfa of 2005... that thing is nuts even now.

[@Cashmoneez]

Man I LOVED the bioncle books that showed moc. I had the rahi beasts one

[@jimboskran4892]

Mocs that became canon, still being done today, crazy to think about

[@The_sniper1954]

The lurker revamp red, black, and yellow could be a reference to the coral snake,

[@ftwgunnerpwns]

Oh my god oh man I remember that contest lol sick!

[@BobTheDoctor27]

At long last, Tollubo appears on BIS!

[@232Skull]

the lurker moc made him into a corn snake or a king snake

[@Mickdomain15]

Can you so some revamps of the Bionicle uniter Gali or any uniters

[@DaffDAFFDAFFFFFF]

Uhm im watching this at 5:28 am I definitely have an addiction 😐

[@pablesm]

Imagine if they were actual sets

[@violentlyneutral3611]

The fact that lego made a contest and then made the winners cannon characters. That is unbelievably cool. Really hope they'll do something like that again but with modern themes or even new Bionicle sets

[@nezaniatoimya]

I really don't like when they use takanuva's mask as hands, it barely looks like a hand and is too distracting because all i see is a guy who mistook Avohki for gloves

[@Treehouseink-BD]

Cool

[@Treehouseink-BD]

How do I submit my mocs

[@jimboskran4892]

Says how to at the end of every video, just so you know

[@MCLegoboy]

I still don't know what a Dark Hunter is. It sounds like someone that's a Bounty Hunter in Star Wars, but I guess they're actually evil or something, and they don't require payment to do a job, or something, I don't know. Bionicle lore was never my strong suit, I always just marveled at the sets I never got because I liked the character design.

[@ProjectInsight44]

BioSector01’s page about the Dark Hunters should have all the info you need

[@evgenyransky3545]

If I'm not mistaken, it was like this: The Ancient decided to gather an army to take over the lands of the Matoran universe after the Barraki ceased to control them. However, the Shadowed One came to him with a business proposal. After this, the dark hunters began to expand across the islands, sending their agents as protection, or as mercenaries, racketeers, and even for a full-scale invasion. Every possible method and trick was used. Personally, it seems to me that the Dark Hunters as an organization are inherently closest to the mafia

[@crushedcan5378]

@@evgenyransky3545 "EYO matoros pizzeria di'nt pay us da protection monies, what's do we do boss?" "give 'em a message with sum Mat' Nui typewritas bois, EYO" "EYO lets go rattle 'em up bois"

[@sagedelta7]

First😫

[@DioStandProud]

The worst thing they ever did was allow kids to design these tbfh. I legit despise all of them.
