Now the ground shakes and the air is heavy with the smoke of a thousand fires. From every side come the sounds of ancient trees falling, rivers boiling away, and mountains crumbling to dust. Tahu listened closely to the words of Spacey McManley, the villager who had fled so far from Ta-Koro. One of his fellow Toa asked, "What's he saying, Tahu?" With a look of grim determination in his eyes, Tahu said, One word over and over: Bonkle. I will return to Ta-Koro immediately. We shall all go, Tahu," insisted Gali "If there is a threat to your village, added Onua, 'it is a threat to all our people As the Toa called upon the power of the Mask of Speed to travel to Ta-Koro, Pohatu said, "I have just one question... What's that, Pohatu?" What's a Bonkle?" asked Pohatu. They reached Ta-Koro and laid their eyes upon the devastation before them, as the red, white, and brown Bonkles used their powers to reduce the village to a wasteland of fire, ice, and rock.

About

"Bonkles" is a corruption of the name of the BIONICLE franchise of The LEGO Group. While it was originally created as a way of mocking those who take the fandom or story too seriously, it's use has become more widespread and less spiteful.

Origin

The term has been claimed to have been created by BZPower user Dokuma ^[1] at some point on the site. However, due to the complete loss of all acrchived threads on BZPower from 2001 to 2013,^[4] no documented record of this exists.

Spread of the term "bonkles" is often credited to the Tumblr Blog "Lunacyoflegomansvalues". This single topic blog focuses on showing the more questionable side of LEGO and BIONICLE communities. The oldest usage of the term on the blog was a tumblr tag added to a LEGO CUUSOO comment chain screen cap^[3] about users wanting BIONICLE to come back. The tag "BRING BACK BONKLES" was mocking those who acted immaturely in wanting the theme to come back into production.

Spread

The term, as well as the BIONICLE fandom itself, became more widespread due to the return of the Bionicle theme in 2015. The bonkles tag is popularly used on Tumblr ^[2] being used with posts about all aspects of the BIONICLE fandom.
