'''BIONICLE''' was a series of sets sold and invented by the LEGO Company from [[2001]] through [[2010]]. It is usually attributed to the [[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 warriors, which are servants of Makuta Teridax himself fight against the Toa. The story stresses the [[Three Virtues]], unity, duty, and destiny. BIONICLE is one of the most successful and long lasting LEGO series, having "saved" the company in the 1999 through 2001 crisis. Although being cut and replaced many BIONICLE fans still make their own stories
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).
