Discussion: What should we call BIONICLE fans?

To be honest, I don’t think it fits the BIONICLE community very well. Names with “nite” aren’t very common or completely absent from both BIONICLE generations.

This was something I was mulling over just a moment ago, actually. I think this is a good idea.

@Collector good point.

We should call ourselves the Fantoka, the new ones a pun on a name.

I don’t know if that will ever be used, but that is a fantastic name. Maybe we can use this name to refer to people who grew up on G1?

Here are some of my ideas.

For the community as a whole:
Kanohian(s)
Illumakuta (Yeah, Yeah, be quite)
Fanonicle
MakuToa

For The Oldies:
Takuan(s)
Mata
Turaga

For The Newbies:
Nuva
Matoran
@squeaverking I also like Fantoka for newer fans

I always refer to BIONICLE fans as “Gathered Friends” in my videos.

True dat. Classy indeed. But, I think I’m done coming up with names. Just as a recap, here are the two I contributed: Matans, for fans who got into the series pre-reboot, and Nuvians, for fans who get into the series post-reboot.

@Obviously_Yoni I agree with “Turagas”!

What about “The Bonklers”? :stuck_out_tongue: Jk, I think “bio-bros” sounds like a pretty decent fanbase name. :smiley:

Nuians. 'Nuff said. :stuck_out_tongue:

Bionicle Fans. Short, simple, and to the point.

Isn’t suggesting that going against the point of this topic?

Well, it is a name. I am just proposing it because almost no one is going to get annoyed about being called a ‘Bionicle Fan’.

I know. But the point is that we are trying to think about something besides that. I feel like we need to distinguish ourselves.
