Welcome to THE BIONICLE UNIVERSE. An amateur fan page and an addition to the entire BIONICLE Community; formerly known as "Bionicle World" back in 2008 as an early fan made website on Freewebs since 2002.
news and updates
News and Announcements regarding the future of my site
The BIONICLE Universe fan site will remain inactive for the foreseeable future. As I have other Bionicle-related and other projects in the pipeline. It is uncertain whether the site will catch-up with all the old news of 2023 and onward (after I learn to pay for more storage space when sharing images on my homepage).
I would like to wish everyone a Happy BIONICLE Day 2023 and hope to see you all again next year in the livestream festivities!

If you love and enjoyed the G1 era of LEGO BIONICLE as much as I do,
I would highly recommend this fan made Game!
Also, they have released a side game known as "The Trials of the Great Spirit". A Games Trial that allows the players and the fans the opportunity to bug test the programs of the game by downloading and playing the game itself for free; as well as giving feedback to the developers in order to rebuild and improve the main game, Masks of Power, further.
This allows the developers of the game (a group of fans known as Team Kanohi) new abilities and ideas to improve the program as well as the final product. The minor task game also provides players and fans dungeon-like challenges as you play as the heroic Toa.
In order to download and play Masks of Power, visit:
https://jojordan2.wixsite.com/bioniclemasksofpower or,
https://jocool1231.itch.io/bionicle-masks-of-power
for easier and faster patching in downloading the later and updated BMOP games.
For Trials of the Great Spirit, visit https://teamkanohi.itch.io/bmop.
For news and Developers' updates regarding the games, follow their current and recent videos on their Youtube Channel as well as their Twitter page and their Discord Server.
The Developers of the game are also asking fans; experienced or newcoming Programmers and Artists; and members of the Bionicle community in need of:
-
2D and 3D Artists
-
Audio and Sound effects producers

Faber's secret plans; Is Bionicle returning in a new way? Or as a Reboot or Spiritual Succesor for 2020?
Christian Faber, a former Art Director for the Advertising Agency Advance and originator of the LEGO BIONICLE Generation One Franchise (2001- 2010) left cryptic messages on his Instagram Account displaying intriguing images and messages regarding the future.
Faber's quotes on Instagram:
"What if there is an undiscovered way back?. A secret path to reset destiny. How many of you would join? #14B2020 🌊The wave of inspiration from one single post is totally amazing. You are the best! This is all the fuel anybody could wish for👍🏼!!!"
"Amazing!!! There is only one thing to do after that responce. This project is “ON” from my side and now comes the hard part and the leap of faith and airtime untill it takes the right shape. One thing is for certain. This thing only got big originally because of your engagement and it is made out of the energy of the fans! #14b2020"
“You have been dreaming for an eternity. Amazing stories of light and darkness. Shaping your mind like a stream carves the rock. You know all and nothing. The moment before waking” #14b2020
"B is a mindset. A quest for mystery and adventure. The future is an open ocean. Everything is out there and you set the course. This is not an attempt to dictate or make a takeover of everything you know from the past. It is to inspire thinking ahead. The future is my client and these are legendary times with great possibilities and I am going to sail the deep waters. I don’t want to tell you the destination. It is already in your mind. #14B2020"
"First came the #mythology. Then the struggle for survival in the middle ages and thereafter the age of discovery when present meets future. Is 3 going to B? When hindsight shifts to foresight. Mind of machines #nexttomachines #14b2020"
"This pod holds all the dreams and knowledge of past legends and the #hibernating hope for the future. Hatching will depend on surroundings and survival options. Evolution, timing and patience are close connected with coincidence and luck nearby. Your interest and comments will power the ignition." #14B2020
"Evolution is a game of chance. Ready for the surface? #14b2020"
"Who am I? #14B2020 ask the question to yourself and look forward instead of backwards."
"A dream in a shell. Working to make it real #14b2020. Everything will be like never before"
“-but the only way of ever finding out is to go there and see for yourself” "#14B2020 will be just like never before!"
"Approaching The Well of Time. Grains of sand are rising from the infinite deep, defying gravity of time. Will you dare to jump in?" #14B2020
"2020 and these are truly surreal times so this might be the time to search for new masks, new knowledge and start to create new legends. We need to restore hope. Life is an adventure and the planet needs real life heroes. So we better start educating the next generation with stories that inspire. You all know who you are, Turaga and vice on the past but heading for the future." #mybiologicalchronicle #14b2020 #2020rebel
"We are at an epic point in time where the sand of time can shift and we can Recover the past. Shape the present. Change the future. 2000B2020. When everything align, great things will happen🤞🏼💪🏼 #14B2020 this is an old 3D rendering from b4 the Bionicle name was created. It is a tribute to the community and symbolize the dream of a new biological chronicle."
"Sketching the past or the future? That depends on the now! #14B2020"
