Delving further into my own headcanon, but as it pertains to the post-Reformation era I didn’t think it appropriate to post under the “Bionicle” category. Though related, this is not a sequel to “To Build a Toa;” this is focused more on the changes made to the Matoran construction process after the Reformation. Just a random document for now, but most of this will become a lot more relevant when I get to posting bios for the Matoran tribes in Bota Nui. -------- The process by which Matoran were constructed for thousands of years was unfortunately lost with the Great Spirit robot, and it took years before the robot’s former residents made at least a partial re-discovery of it, allowing new Matoran to be created once again. Some changes were inevitably introduced in the reverse engineering…
