I would remove LoSS or Solek
Probably Krakua, he had no personality and didnāt do anything important in the story except foreshadow to Vakama the Toa Inika.
I wanna give him more character in my own story.

Iād remove Krekka. Heās really nothing special.
Contrary to the story importance of Nidhiki, Krekka was some dumb grunt thrown into the story, Jar-jar style. besides being a minor antagonist, he was just some stupid dark hunter, and a terrible set. If anything, Nidhiki couldāve been paired with some more story-significant character, likeā¦ well, ANY other dark hunter would work. Krekka is, in total, a terrible set, and a terrible character.
On the other hand, Solek could also be removed. Of the three Av-Matoran, he was blander than the others, and generally boring, outside of āohey i is studied mythsā. Iām sure Mesonak wouldnāt have been so antagonistic towards the lone white Av-matoran if he didnāt exist.
Oh, and Ehrye, too. He wasnāt of much importance (for example, his Biosector page is practically a stub), and wasnāt necessary. A more characterized Ehrye, like Solek, would help SO much more.

Donāt agree with you there. He has a good amount of info on him.

Oh, true. Reading this, I realize he was a good character. Excuse the earlier mention of Ehrye.
True, Krekka is little more than a bumbling brute, but thatās just it- he and Nidhiki were chosen because they were both reasonably expendable to The Shadowed One. He didnāt want them dead of course, but they were the kinds of operatives he was willing to hire out. In that way, he acts as a foil to the rest of the organization.
Itās very possible that Krekka was sent as a hindrance to Nidhiki- a way to keep him busy in a way that would ironically keep him on-task, instead of, say, exacting petty revenge on certain Metru Nui residents he used to know. As he was a former Toa of Air, I challenge the notion that his specific harassment of Kongu and Matau were happenstance or explicitly related to any of their jobs.
I canāt speak for or against his set (as Iāve never owned or seen it unboxed), though I will say that itās usage in the Ultimate Dume combiner should also count, as in this case the sum of his parts may very well exceed his whole.

Totally subjective (I personally liked it except the lack of arm poseabilty).
The reason for him being in the story is the very same reason you wanted him gone. He is meant to be the stupidest thing known to matoran kind. As @E44 put it heās expendable. Afterall as you probably know Krekka died along with Nidhiki when absorbed into Teridax. Wouldnāt you prefer some expendable Dark Hunter died that way instead of a more interesting one?

i would remove all of the insignificant characters from 2009 . . oh wait that is pretty much all of them
I would remove,Mata Nui, because itād screw up Bionicleās entire plot, and Iād like to know what wouldāve happened.
Tren Krom. Thereās no stupid story reason, but his character is a powerful, whatever mata nui is being thatās kinda just that for the sake of it. He adds pointless complexity to the story and has no real reason to exist, other than to just be there.
Iām trying to think of any outright Mary Sue characters rather than characters that I simply dislike. I actually think Greg did a fairly good job of keeping characters that were way too powerful for the sake of being powerful or got too much attention in all forms of media out of the story. There really arenāt any characters that Iād just remove.
A lot of decent characters in other forms of media such as Tuma and Berix got pretty ruined by TLR, but I donāt think that particularly counts.
Can you guys think of any characters thatāre way too powerful or important for a stupid reason?
I donāt know, I enjoyed his presence and I felt he was justified. Plus, what good story doesnāt have a nice Lovecraftian character?

Click. Completely unnecessary and one of the reasons why I felt TLR was dumbed down.
The Stars, because they really had absolutely no purpose
It kind of already is. I mean, the Great Beings couldāve been people for how little we know about them.
@Toa_Of_Shadows, He filled up screen time in The Legend Reborn
I personally think that the Vaki should be replaced with actual characters.
Puesā¦ that makes sense as the Vahki came about to replace actual characters. If The Makuta of Metru Nui hadnāt been discretely knocking off the Toa Mangai, the City of Legends wouldnāt have had a shortage of order enforcement. Certainly The Makuta benefitted from the exchange- as robots obey their orders blindly they wouldnāt get suspicious of Turaga Dume acting less compassionately because they lack the processing power to account for such a parameter. They werenāt Awakened beings, so they lacked a Toaās intuition and sense of āmoral light,ā if you will.
Awakened Vahki characters would certainly be fun to have seen, and we got kind of close in 2005 with the post-Cataclysm killing machine āpersonalities.ā
However, after understanding the circumstances of their creation itās pretty hard to argue that they shouldāve been entirely different from how they were, especially knowing that if they had been too smart it wouldāve be a detriment to the Main Villainās plans. He had no reason to sabotage himself, right?
