### **Personality and info**

Good Guy is a small Matoran-like character in Reviving Bionicle. He has no mask, a Toa Metru head (with a trans lime green brainstalk), and has two black Bohrok feet. He was created to advertise Bionicle in Sweden and soon became a running joke among the Bionicle fandom due to how poorly designed the set was.

### **Biography**

In the series, Good Guy serves as a sort of comic relief and is usually rather naive. However, he is much smarter than he appears on the surface and much more complex. He seems to have an inferiority complex due to the fact that no one really likes him and because of how poorly designed he was. This inferiority complex leads him to join the heroes (Surge and Evo) in hopes that he could actually do some good and gain some respect.

However, he soon learned of their true intentions to use Denmark to destroy all Bionicle sets in existence so that Lego will be forced to bring back Hero Factory. Good Guy realized he must stop this and orders Good Guy 2008 off the internet to help him stop the heroes because Good Guy 2008 has no translucent pieces, and therefore cannot be controlled by Denmark.

In Fake Hero, he wrote a note to Tahu telling him to meet him and Good Guy 08 in the hallway the next day at sundown so they can confess about Denmark and how to stop the Missing Trans Pieces epidemic. He tried to give it to him but was stopped by Kopaka. Kopaka lied and said he'd give the note to Tahu later, and Good Guy handed it to him. Kopaka then hid the note.

The next day, in denmark (episode 4), Good Guy began to fall under Denmark's influence and started glitching out. He decided to take Good Guy 08, and go off the grid, hiding in a closet. He vented to Good Guy 08 about how he was starting to doubt himself and a part of him was saying to just let the heroes find them and give up. They decided to split up after their meeting with Tahu. Later on, Kopaka read the note with Pohatu. They decided to meet the polybags at the location and time they described without telling Tahu, but Good Guy was in too bad of condition and told them to talk to Perditus instead. He then glitched out again and collapsed.

After finding out the heroes' true intentions from Perditus, Tahu gathered up the gang to confront them. But they were too late, as Good Guy finally succumbed to Denmark's control and shut down, and his trans brainstalk was removed by the heroes.

Evo then fired up Denmark and used it on the 2015 sets to control them and use them as henchmen, followed by shooting a blast that spread across the entire house, knocking everyone's trans heads off of their masks and bodies, shutting them down. Fortunately, as we established, Good Guy had a contingency plan in Good Guy 2008, who then revived everyone. The gang then put a plan together to stop the heroes for good, thus leading to the Denmark Battle, where Good Guy rode with Pohatu on top of the Thornatus V9, using a Cordak Blaster to shoot the 2015 sets. Onua 2015 then hit the car right in front with his hammer, causing it to crash. Good Guy was not seen for the remainder of the fight, but Takanuva passed his blaster to Tahu to use in his 1v1 with Evo.

After the battle was over, the polybags started cleaning up components of the Denmark machine from the heroes' hideout, but then Good Guy noticed when he was going through the main computer that Denmark was writing code and programming itself, and realizing that it was alive. The two then decided not to scrap it, and for the next four years, they worked in secret, researching and tinkering with the machine and figuring out how it works.

For the next three episodes, Good Guy fell back into his comedic relief role, but in Home Away From Home he found that Voriki's consciousness was inside Denmark and that they could bring him back. He ordered pieces to build a new body (based off his original one back when he was Greg, with the Great Komau) for him off of Bricklink and presumably ordered Bad Guy 2006 as well since he seems to share the same level of intelligence in tech, but most of the time he just insults him and puts him down, probably because he finally has someone smaller than him to pick on. Good Guy 08 then generated two nodes and Good Guy put one on himself and put his mind into the machine to find Voriki.

He found Voriki where we last saw him at the end of Two's a Crowd, about to be deleted by the Afraid. Good Guy snuck up and whacked it with a branch, and told Voriki to run. When they thought they had lost it, Good Guy handed the other node to Voriki and exited the machine just as the Afraid caught up to them. Good Guy got him out quickly and inserted his mind into the new body.

The polybags explained what happened and went to tell the others that Greg was back. They then found out that not all of his memories had made it, and the other half was somewhere in the files still. They gathered the gang and showed them their headquarters in the heroes' old hideout. Good Guy then got into an argument with Tahu about whether they should keep it or finally scrap it, but as they were doing that the machine activated on its own, and fired a blast that hit everyone except Good Guy 08 and Bad Guy since they were out of range.

Those who were hit were sent into random spots with no clear destination. Tahu, Onua, and Good Guy were sent into a flashback of the living room and kitchen in 2009, where they found Greg's other memories (that had taken the form of naive, talkative Voriki) and Greg, Kopaka, Takanuva, and Pohatu were sent to the forest where they had to deal with the Afraid. Onua found a console that Good Guy used to communicate with the real world. Good Guy 08 generated four nodes for the group in the flashback, and they all exited the machine, except for Tahu, who's node was stolen by Sockets (who was somehow in the machine too), and she used it to escape, stranding him there.

Good Guy's status as of right now is unknown, but it will be explored in the next episode (which as of me writing this has not released yet).

### **Personality**

Good Guy seems to be rather smart given that he was a key component in Denmark's creation but he is also fun-loving and the exact level of his intelligence is unknown as he seems to enjoy going in the oven and sliding down a slide.

### **Trivia**

- Good Guy as a set came with one of the blades of Turahk's Staff of Fear as his weapon, but in Reviving Bionicle he has one of the blades of Guurahk's Staff of Disintegration and Gaaki's staff. Pohatu 2015 also owns one of these and uses it during the Denmark fight when he was fighting the Tarakava.

- At the beginning of Fake Hero, he and Good Guy 2008 are terrorized by Kapura and some of the 2008 Makuta, making this his first and only appearance as of right now. Kapura is also the third Matoran in the series to have dialogue, the first two spots being taken by Takua 2001 and Takua 2003.
