"Slizurion," the Ancients
A "Slizurion," as depicted in a pre-shattering Gravity Tribe codex.
The Slizurions were once a sprawling and prominent empire throughout the galaxy. At their hands were limitless miracles beyond anything the Great Beings could now conceive of, channeling their power in various medallions.
However, for reasons still unknown, the Slizurions began to drop in population. Planets once lit up by their vast cities blinked out and faded into dust. Their mark on the world rapidly waned. Desperate, a group of survivors scoured the cosmos for a new world, happening upon a lifeless rock filled to the brim with a shimmering, miraculous substance. They sent countless machines to the planet's surface, divided into 7 elemental factions so they could toil and terraform the world. They sealed themselves deep within the planet, trapped in an indefinite slumber, waiting for the work of the machines to end.
With the turn of The Millenium, a strange meteor's impact would stop their grand plans. Over millions of years, the machines would undergo unintended evolutions and the Slizurions would be lost to the folds of time, never to touch the galaxy again...
Or...

2001-style Kinloka and Kavinika, the famously un-rodent- and un-wolf-like rodent and wolf Rahi. Hopefully, Kavinika looks more like an actual canine rather than yet another weird bipedal bird; I've kept the two tails, though.
Tbh, most of these pieces come straight from Slizers/Throwbots! The only 2001 pieces are Kinloka's head and mask.
All of the pieces used are real, so it is possible to build them!

Honestly, the more I think about a Bionicle G3, the more I feel like doing a Slizers G2 might legitimately be the way to go. Even setting aside my Slizers nostalgia, (I got Blaster and Millennium well before any of the Toa) I feel like it makes a certain amount of sense.
-Bionicle has a lot more recognizability, but a lot more baggage as well; there would be Expectations for a reboot, and the fandom has already proven it could be rather volatile.
-While I do think Bionicle still has lots of unexplored potential and that all nineteen of the central Toa across G1's run (Mata+Takanuva, Metru, Mahri) could carry a reboot, it's also had enough time in the limelight that we don't need more.
-Meanwhile, Slizers had just enough material to be ripe for deeper exploration, while also being vague and brief enough that most directions a reboot could take it in wouldn't come across as too much of a departure.
-Set-wise, they never experienced the gradual size creep that Bionicle did, so they would be easier to keep relatively small and cheap.
-System has come a long way; between Mixel joints, greater levels of technic integration, and more fine detail pieces, they could have the same sort of functionality and aesthetic uniqueness as the originals, while being more in line build-wise with conventional Lego.
-Also, you wouldn't have as many people rioting in the streets over taking that approach.
-Much as I love Bionicle, it is a lot more aesthetically conventional next to non-lego action figure lines; whereas Slizers is inherently a lot more distinctive in silhouette and general vibes; potentially offputting, but potentially a selling point.
-Has the potential to be like Mixels and X-Pods and other similar lines, where you can have multiple possible configurations or characters from the same pool of parts in each Element-themed set.
-Also the chance to learn from what worked and what didn't with the Ninjago Spinners and Chima Speedorz in creating an interactive game out of the Disk-throwing gimmick.
-On that note, the potential to revisit the disk molds or create a new system for them entirely.
-While the idea of a canister or container is probably well dead by this point, there's still the possibility to integrate the cardboard packaging in some way, if it's designed well, while being more eco-friendly.
-And again, thanks to its relative obscurity and lack of pre-established expectations, it might be easier to focus on marketing it to new fans instead of trying to pander to nostalgia or stave off angry mobs.
-Finally, a good way to use Teal now that they've brought it back!
