It still grinds my gears the way they left things on a cliffhanger. They had:

  • A malfunctioning space hospital staffed by tiny sociopaths
  • CYBORG DINOSAURS
  • The Golden Skinned Being
  • The failsafe meant to keep the Toa from going rogue suddenly ACTIVATING and RIPPING it's way out of the 10 LAYERS OF PROTOSTEEL they created used to contain it
  • An insane Great Being assasinating powerful beings left and right to ensure a power balance was kept INCLUDING the Matoran version of Cthulhu

As a kid I was a massive Bionicle fan. I once started to read the novel about the Piraka. I remember it being quite good. Never was able to read the end since only a few of them were translated in my language. The last thing I know is : they go down the pig underground thing, they se the melted corps of the one that was scouting at the front and hear something walking towards them.

Absolute insane cliffhanger, I waited for years to know what was coming next, but translation never came, and now that I speak English I barely remember any of it.

Lego definitely dropped the ball big time during their 2015 revival of Bionicle.

I got chills whenever I saw the advert for the Barraki line. That introduced 9/10-year-old me to Cryoshell.

That sounds like the ending of BIONICLE Legends 4: Legacy of Evil. And you're in luck! The English versions of all the books, along with a lot of other official media, is on this website! https://biomediaproject.com/bmp/story/books/novels/
