Oh yeah, I was really into the story, we stopped getting the comics around the time of the Bohrok Kal I believe, and I remember feeling very frustrated that the online archive of them was so slow to update with new issues. It's nice that even though they canceled the toyline they have the kindness to continue finishing the story, even if updates are painfully slow in coming :/ Such an entertaining story :)
...I can't help but wonder if Makuta Teridax actually really is gone, knowing how devious his plans are it would not surprise me at all if he had some sort of contingency plan for if he got kicked out, his plot to take over Mata Nui's body was probably one of the greatest schemes I've ever seen a villain pull off!
I have Bionicle figures of all shapes, sizes, series, and factions scattered all over my room, haha, amongst other Lego contraptions of my creation :P
Back onto the topic at hand, the Forerunners and Precursors are not the end all and be all, there are plenty of monstrosities or powerful being in Bionicle that either severely outclass them are highly capable of giving them a good run for their money. Tren Krom comes to mind, or the Great Beings, or hell even some of the more ordinary guys could as well. And I don't think a Halo would really work on most of the Bionicle characters as the vast majority of them are mostly machine. The only truly organic characters I can think of would be the new races and characters introduced in the Bara Magna series.
tetridax was shure one evil SON OF A B*TCH. one of the smartest villans of all time. I was relly annoyed about how they ended the toy line, the bionicle stars were a bull-blam!- test of hero factory... either wak the mask of life would win any battle, wepons are usless when no one is alive to use them.
nice too meet a fellow bionicle fan educated in the lore.
p.s. brutaka would open a dimesinal gat to the inside of there ships and pwn them...
Definitely, I remember having a massive case of shock and being utterly speechless when he took control of Mata Nui's body, sheer and utter genius.
Mhm, I didn't really see them as a test for Hero Factory, I saw them as just more Agori, but still being lazy, I expected them to actually have one final real series before the end :/ Or some sort of big anniversary send off by re-releasing updated versions of the Toa Mata or something like that.
And yeah, the more I think about it and the more I remember at Bionicle it's actually I think a rather close and interesting match with Halo. Bionicle has quite a few trump cards of its own to play, like the Mask of Life, and of course the Mask of Time, or any number of the immensely powerful beings running around, the trick would be getting them all to unite :P

Teridax is THE Makuta, you know, the main villain for almost the entirety of Bionicle's storyline. (FYI, I'm not being condescending, not meaning to be anyway, sorry if I come across that way).
The hell did they have to name that Makuta? The whole faceless/nameless horror in the shadows is a much better concept. Once you give a name to something, it loses a significant portion of it's hold over you.
He always had a name, at the beginning of the series he was named Makuta, but once Lego created the Brotherhood of Makuta and made it a race of beings they had to give him another name I guess *shrug*
That is kind of true I guess, but quite frankly I think something can be quite scary even it is given a proper name.

I can only interpret what you said from my outsiders view of the series, but have you read Cryptum? Do you know what the Forerunners can do?
*Brutaka opens a portal to a Forerunner Fortress*
*He goes through*
*On the other side, there's two hundred Prometheans in Seeker Combat Armor*
Brutaka: "Mommy..."
Meh, I think Brutaka could probably handle them somehow, whether it be summoning some sort of aberration or other cosmic horror with his mask or teleporting all those Forerunners god knows where... *shrug*
Brutaka's probably one of the most powerful "ordinary" beings in Bionicle's universe, there's a reason why he was one of the selected guardians for the Mask of Life.
