But I like the Puppies better :c

As a toy line: Hero Factory last longer. I have 1.0 sets that are still perfectly fine. Bionicle breaks within a month, often. The Hero Factory sets have more diversity, were as Bionicles are usually just variations of the same design. Breakout looked so epic far better than any BIO, IMO. Original color schemes, original build schemes. As a Toy, I think HF is waaaay better than BIO. It looks more unique, has more variety, and lasts longer.

As a series: I personally prefer HF's less complicated story. I can miss a year, and still know what's going on. It was basically impossible to be a casual fan of bionicle. If you missed one thing, you could become hopelessly lost. Bio became cluttered with too many storylines IMO, leaving no room for anything else. That also restricts play opportunities as nothing is left to play. (Relating back to point 1) HF still has good stories, like some of the books, but isn't overly cluttered. It can be expanded upon.

For those reasons (And others I'll keep private) I find HF far superior.
