I was under the impression Bionicles were like My Little Pony but for boys.
A not-very-elaborate marketing ploy.

Some marketing ploys end up being rather awesome.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Not in general, but I love Optimus Prime as the ideal of a leader and Starscream as an amusingly backstabberific little piece of shit.

I never really got into the huge "Super Mega Giant Robot" ideas.
Like, none of the 80,000 different ones of them.

As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

These ones are special because there are no high school students inside.

As far as I can tell, it's a bunch of robots with worms in their heads.

Or something like that.
That would be the raakhshi. bad guys, related to the makuta, around the first movie.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

But isn't VOTOMS more Real Robot, less Super Robot? IIRC it plays the whole milSF thing pretty straight, or at least as close to hard SF as a series with mechs can get.
