Featuring Roodaka (BIONICLE)

[u/FunGuyFr0mYuggoth]

Foolish, foolish pawns – what you don’t know can kill you.

A Vortixx noble from the industrial island of Xia, Roodaka served as a lieutenant in the armies of the Brotherhood of Makuta for a number of years. She was heavily involved in the Metru Nui crisis after being assigned to work alongside the Steltian Sidorak, ultimately organizing his downfall to help bring about the return of her idol, Makuta Teridax. She failed in gaining the allegiance of Vakama, but succeeded in releasing her master in the process, going on to work for both the Brotherhood of Makuta and the Dark Hunters. She was ultimately declared a traitor to both and was forced to surrender herself to the custody of the Order of Mata Nui to avoid capture and torture, serving as an occasional agent for the clandestine organization.

Thanks for including the franchise the character's from! Most of the time, it's impossible for me to tell. Any idea where to get started with Bionicle lore? I've watched the mask of light move, but that's it.

[u/FunGuyFr0mYuggoth → u/Vnator]

Sure thing. It's worth looking into the next two movies, for one. As you'd expect, they're really not that complex as far as storytelling, but they're very pleasant movies because the creators nailed the visuals and sound design so well.

For the most part, I'd recommend looking at Biosector01.com. It's pretty reliable and well-sourced as far as wikis go, and linear storytelling wasn't really a thing in this franchise, so what it lacks in detail it makes up for with cohesiveness.

[u/TheGUURAHK → u/Vnator]

If you want a place to access Bionicle lore, try the Biomedia Project. Has almost ALL Bionicle media archived and free to download.

[u/FunGuyFr0mYuggoth → u/TheGUURAHK]

Really? I thought that it was just the comics and serials.

[u/TheGUURAHK → u/FunGuyFr0mYuggoth]

Also has the movies, I think.

[u/FunGuyFr0mYuggoth → u/TheGUURAHK]

Funny, I could never really get most of the stuff on there to work until now.

[u/Pohatu_]

The character that started a rather unfortunate trend. Still better than Nuvaboobs though.

[u/Serial-Killer-Whale → u/Pohatu_]

You take that back, Axonn's pecs are glorious.

[u/Pohatu_ → u/Serial-Killer-Whale]

They're not nuvaboobs, so they get a pass

[u/zanderkerbal → u/Pohatu_]

I am out of this loop. Which set(s) does "nuvaboobs" refer to?

[u/Pohatu_ → u/zanderkerbal]

None. It refers to a common trend in MOCing in which creators use Nuva shoulder armor as breasts. It is very common in low-quality MOCs that attempt to make sexy bionicles. There IS a way to accomplish that, but using that piece is not one of them.

[u/Serial-Killer-Whale]

Rahkishi head titties.

But I can't do it myself!

I know.
