A thought I had a while ago, but 2005 Bionicle could have easily taken place after Mask of Light and not much about the toys would have had to change.
The story would have still made sense if when the inhabitants of Mata Nui returned to Metru Nui, and discovered the Visorak occupation then.

- Makuta sealed in Protodermis
- the Vahi at the bottom of the sea
- the minutia from Adventures 5 and 6
You could just as easily say “the mask was always on the island because the only time anyone would need it would be if the Matoran universe within were cast in shadow”
Explaining how Makuta was freed is the biggest hurdle
And it’d be kind of a cop out to say “oh, he escaped at some point after our climactic showdown and epic victory offscreen”
Time Trap could still happen in a similar way. Vakama is just the last to leave.
It’s pedantry and logistics like this that resulted in the Star Wars Prequels coming out the way they did lol
But yeah, there could be a million what-ifs.
The twin Blazer Claws fit Tahu better than Vakama.
Matau’s blades would work for either Matau or Lewa.
Same for Nokama’s barbs.
Nuju’s head could still work for Kopaka.
Onewa is less like Pohatu but I still think it could work.
Whenua could be anybody. 😂
You’d really only need to figure out what to do with Takanuva.
Hell, maybe he just stays the same in the story and doesn’t get a new toy. 😂
Replace Vakama Hordika vs. Matau Hordika with Tahu Hordika vs. Kopaka Hordika, arriving to the same outcome, and you have the best Toa Nuva story of all time.
