No, no, no, no, no, haven't you heard?
According to the more enlightened amongst us, Bionicles are no good, evil
bastardazations of the Technic line, and you simply CAN'T do ANYTHING with
them. Really. It says so in the .bionicle group, plain as day.
I must insist that either 1) the toys you find yourself playing with are NOT
Bionicles (because, of course, you couldn't possibly attach other LEGO or
Tecnic bits to THEM), or 2) you are having a feverish, delusional dream, and
none of what you typed is real.
BTW, added this to the .bionicle group to help them see the errors of their
ways.
