BIONICLE Reboot

Apparently it has been confirmed that LEGO intends to reboot the popular Bionicle toy line that ran from 2001 to 2009.  It is a science-fantasy story about bio-mechanical creatures who fight against monstersIt started with six heroes trying to protect their home from beguiled Rahi and ended with Mata Nui killing off Teridax.  

This was a very unique storyline.  As much as I would love to see it come back, I don't think it will have the same zing that it did during its original run.  

Each storyline in the Bionicle continuum has a sextette of heroes called Toa, each with carrying one of six elements: fire, water, earth, air, ice, and stone.  The storylines always came in two parts with the Toa changing shape for some reason or another.  And the common enemies always changed to.  

LEGO has a huge challenge ahead of them.  I really doubt that the rebooted version of Bionicle would match up to the original.
