'''BIONICLE''' was a series of sets sold by the [[LEGO]] Company from [[2001]] to [[2010]]. It is usually attributed to the ''LEGO TECHNIC'' line due to the inclusion of ''[[TECHNIC]]''-specific elements and building-styles although being a largely independent product series. The sets were tied together by an elaborate original storyline that centred around bio-mechanical characters such as the [[Toa]], which are generally large, powerful beings that usually serve good. The evil Makuta, which are servants of Makuta himself fight against the Toa. The story stresses the [[Three Virtues]]: ''Unity, Duty, and Destiny''. BIONICLE is one of the most sucessfull and long lasting LEGO series, having "saved" the company in 1999-
The name "''BIONICLE''" is short for '''Bio'''logical Chro'''nicle''' (A common misconception is that it stands for '''Bio'''mechanical Chro'''nicle'''. Another misconception is that the word is derived from '''Bionic''' with a '''-le''' suffix).
