I miss the old days when there really WAS NO story. It was mostly up to imagination.
I kinda dropped out of intrest of Bionicles after the second generation.
I had a first generation one, (the fire guy) and a second generation one. (the earth guy that looks like Jason.)
There was a story, most of it was explained through the comics that came with Lego Magazines as well as some novels, also, the "fire guy" is called Tahu and "earth guy" is called "Onua", and they're the same generation btw, the actual "second generation" wasn't until 2003, I'll shut up now
