The descent into the depths of Mata Nui to face the queens of the Bohrok swarm turns up....power armour? Isn't this a nice little fantasy comic? Where'd the power armour come from?
One of the things I've always loved about the BIONICLE series is that it straddles that line between fantasy and science fiction really, really well. Even at this point, very early in the series, and still very much steeped in the mystical aspects of the story, we're seeing bits and pieces of technology, small clues as to the apocalyptic tale that is to unfold. This is, of course, not to say that the mystical side of the story gets completely eclipsed or erased - as I say, the story straddles the line, and, for the most part, stays there. There's no reason, really, that science fiction and fantasy can't exist in the same continuum.
Enough for now. More tomorrow.
