What are your ideas for all the different ways things could have gone wrong (or better) in the Bionicle universe? I’ve always loved the concept, regardless of how “confusing” it supposedly makes things and came up with a few of my own and hope that you will to. And please, don’t create any for Hero Factory or G2, if you really want to come up with some for those, I’ll make some separate topics.
My AUs
Age of the Makuta
Locations: The Great Spirit Robot, Mata Nui, Aqua Magna
History: In this universe when the Makuta revealed themselves to be a malevolent force, most of the Toa shirked the Toa code and sided with the Makuta. Together they put an end to the many of the Dark Hunters and conquered all of the GSR. Millennium passed and soon Mutran invented the Shadow Leech. The Makuta used this to infect some of the Matoran under their rule as tests and the Toa, along with replacing many of the Matoran of Metru Nui’s masks with Immoral masks to cull rebellion. Soon, the Makuta realized that even now the Matoran still acted like something was missing, and the Makuta decided that it was the leadership of the Turaga. The Makuta put together a team of Toa who had fulfilled their destiny, those being Tuyet, Nidiki, and unnamed Toa of Fire, Ice, Stone and Earth. They used their power to create thirty-six Toa stones, giving them to select groups of the most Loyal, Violent, or Sadistic Matoran they could find. Soon, the world fell into a sort of oppressive peace. The Matoran constantly lived under the heel of the Makuta and their Shadow Toa army, yet, there was no war or hardship. Eventually, through infighting, many of the Makita wiped eachother out, with only the most powerful remaining and controlling the Shadow Toa from the shadows.
The Infinite Destiny War
Locations: The Great Spirit Robot, Mata Nui, Aqua Magna
History: In this Universe the Order of Mata Nui revealed itself much earlier than it did in the core universe. This lead to the first OMN war with the Brotherhood of the Makuta (which does not abbreviate well). Several smaller wars eventually were simply combined into the Infinite Destiny War by archivists. As of now, the OMN have control over Voya Nui, Metru Nui, and several unnamed Islands near Artahka and Karzani, whereas the Brotherhood of Makuta control generally anything else.
