Following the defeat of the Bohrok-Kal, the story shifts focus to two Matoran and their quest to find the Seventh Toa. In a change of medium, LEGO decided to tell this tale in the first-ever Bionicle movie -- Bionicle: Mask of Light. The journey begins when Ta-Matoran, Takua and Jaller, accidentally discover a mysterious, golden mask in a cave. This mask is the legendary Kanohi Avohkii, the Mask of Light. After presenting the Avohkii to the village Turaga, Takua and Jaller are tasked with finding the Toa to whom the mask belongs. Join us in this episode as we discuss the plot of the movie and talk about some of the strange choices they made with this film. After the lore/plot discourse, we take a look at the phenomenal sets that coincided with the release of The Mask of Light. Lastly, we turn our attention to the community MOCs and fan art, some of which are the best creations we've seen yet on the show.

The Bohrok-Kal were released onto Mata Nui with one mission—free the Bahrag queens. They took immediate action, nearly neutralizing the newly established Toa Nuva, by stealing their Nuva Symbols. As their quest continued largely unimpeded, they could no longer contain their inner pride and sadism. At every encounter, the Kal absolutely humiliated the Toa, taking immense pleasure in the pain they inflicted. However, it wasn't long before the Kal's pride got the best of them. Join us for the first part of the podcast as we learn the intriguing story of the malicious Bohrok-Kal.In the latter half of the episode, we will talk about the official Bohrok-Kal sets and how their only unique pieces were used in a wide variety of LEGO® sets. Lastly, we'll close out by taking a look at artwork by the Bionicle community, including sleek representations of the Bohrok-Kal Kaita and a fun imagining of the Bohrok-Va Kal.

Before the Toa ever arrived on Mata Nui, the Matoran were led by six leaders called the Turaga. They were fairly mysterious beings, and they seemed to have a lot of knowledge and experience. Once the Toa had landed on the island and started their various quests, they, like the Matoran before them, looked to their respective Turaga for guidance and wisdom. However, they often received little of use from these elders, sometimes acquiring instructions that would actively and unnecessarily put them in harm's way. The Turaga instructions were never meant to be deliberately malicious, but they had a knack for acting pretty stupid, considering they were the "wise" and "helpful" leaders on Mata Nui. So what's up with them, and why are they so strange? From Rahi speech to kidnappings to great masks, join us as we learn about the Turaga and their stories on the island of Mata Nui.In the latter half of the podcast, we discuss the official sets and some of the unique choices LEGO® made when designing the Turaga. Lastly, we'll close out by taking a look at some builds and artwork by the Bionicle community, including Turaga redesigns, visualizations of the Toa Nuva as Turaga, recolored Metru, and more.
