Agreed. Though to be completely honest, they DID take some liberties in the CG
versions. The arms and legs can bend, the heads can turn, they can stick their
weapons on their back. In effect I guess the sets are "action figure" versions
of the animation characters, though contrary to most TV show/toy combinations,
the toys were made first and the animations were copied off of them.

Good point about the animations. Course, without that, they couldn't really
walk...

The moulded parts for the bionicle figures have joints, hydraulics, ect
anyway. Could they just make these parts seperateley and animate them
together in CG. Instead of the animations on the adverts where the
hydraulics, joints, ect are made from one part that just bends. Maybe they
could also have a motor or two added here and there, or maybe they could be
wearing armor to guard all the electrical gubbins of the robot, like the
peice the masks fit onto. this could be an armored plate intended to protect
the motors and stuff in the head.
P.S. I hope you don't mean that the destruction of makuta depends on 6 inch
tall robots lol (-8
