In 2003, the bigger sets [[8593 Makuta]], [[8594 Jaller and Gukko]], [[8595 Takua and Pewku]] and [[8596 Takanuva and Ussanui]] were available. Makuta came in one of his various forms, carrying a shadow staff. He wears black, dark-copper and red armour. Also released was Takua with his crab Pewku and Takua as the Toa of Light, Takanuva, with his vehicle ''Ussanui''. Also released were the Matoran in their new, rebuilt forms.

In 2004, the form and shape of the Toa and Matoran changed entirely. The new gears of the [[Toa Metru/Toa Hordika|Toa Metru]] now rotated in a different way, and both the Toa and Matoran were taller. The [[Toa]] had bigger weapons and different masks. In addition, the heads forms changed, a mask could now be fixed on the head via an axle. Adapting the Rahkshi leg bending design and improving it, the Toa Metru's whole leg was built upon ball-and-socket design, with a new double-sided hip-joint holding onto the ball hip and the ball piece of the bottom leg section. Along with that, each design was designed to be almost independent from the other, with small modifications including height adjustment and neck position. Along with neck positions were actual head pieces designed for the purpose of movement on the head, a technique which evolved from the Rahkshi design, and was used on later sets right up to present time. Though they hadn't yet adapted the arm bending technique to today's standards yet, they had progressed further than the Toa and Toa Nuva arms which hadn't flexed at all. The canisters of the Toa were round, having screw lids. By combining two lids a ''Matoran Sphere'' could be created, used in the storyline to transport Matoran.
The Matoran came in small boxes. They wore masks with a tint of silver at the top, and had larger bodies. They were, besides of the [[Vahki]], the first BIONICLE set line to have a uniform weapon, called the [[8613 Kanoka Disk Launcher Pack|Kanoka Disk Launcher]], which fired Kanoka Disks, similar to the Bamboo Disks of the 2001 promotion and the Disks of the [[Slizer/Throwbot|Slizers / Throwbots]]. The Kanoka Disks, which came in an ammunition pack called [[8613 Kanoka Disk Launcher Pack]], had a three-digit code printed on them which indicated the origin, the ability and the power level of each disk.<gallery type="slideshow">

In summer, the [[Vahki]] were released. These security robots could fire Kanoka Disks with their mouths and could transform from a biped walking mode to a four-legged hunt mode. Their secondary weapons were staffs with special powers which were needed to track down criminals. The arms could rotate with a wheel on their backs. The Vahki sets also included ''Kanoka Club codes'' to enter on Bionicle.com, printed on a cardboard piece. Their canisters were triangular, with a transparent lid in their respective colours.▼
