I understand that turning BIONICLE into a world of fully human characters is sort of unsettling, and I understand the risk. The reason I did this is because expression is so much easier to convey and relate to on a human face. Also, I want people outside of the BIONICLE fandom to be interested in my work.

I don't think I'll be giving the Matoran Universe characters a biomechanical look. It's understood among BIONICLE fans that they are biomechanical, so if I leave that out, it won't really effect how a fan sees BIONICLE in any big way. It's a stylistic choice rather than a story/universe choice, for easier portrayal in the comics and for more human-like characters.
