    I wish we could have seen a continuation of Bionicle where Velika became the new primary antagonist, he actually could have had the Villainous charisma to succeed after the Juggernaut that was Teridax

    In many slavic languages "velika" or variations of it mean great or big. Almost everyone dismissed this thought of foreshadowing or a connection, but I'll hold on to it, even if Greg debunks it, considering, how systematic naming conventions for characters were for Bionicle!

    Theory: Hero factory is the far future in the bionicle timeline and mr. Makuro is actually velika in disguise, the hero factory are the enforcers of that story and mr. Makuro created them and controls them, so he rules the galaxy without anyone knowing it. Therefore velika succeeded in his conquest.

    Only one thing I could guess: He's the Palpatine/Sidious of Bionicle itself! Though I'm only hoping, that this time however..., he would be exposed, either by a defecting agent, the Toa Nuva who foolishly trusted in him or perhaps by Ahkmou (Having eventually gained a conscience for what he did against his own brothers). Perhaps his eventual fate; Either Takanuva deciding to slay him to rid the world of such malice..., or to spare him, and let Velika stand trial for his crimes, proving forth, that Freedom is the right, of all beings! A world, does not need forth a ruler, in the form of a Tyrant, in Disguise!

    I was thinking if Ahkmou would succeed and continue with Teridax's plans like Sauron to his former master Morgoth Ahkmou doesn't carry that same weight, even if he did continue scheming he doesn't have the power to shape the future. Imagine a Continuation of Bionicle focused around Velika as the main antagonist!

    The great beings used technology rather than innate "powers" like the Toa and other inhabitants of the Matoran Universe so its possible that Velika was not any more powerful than an ordinary Matoran in the physical sense and met with a similar fate to other damaged/defective Matoran as a result. We never see Velika display any abilities beyond that of a Matoran other than his intellect in the books/serials after all.
