The Tahnok, like other Bohrok, were created when the Av-Matoran accomplished their destiny and are transformed into machines. They cleanse Mata Nui's island with fire, burning and melting everything in their path. During the Bionicle story, the Bohrok swarms were awakened by Makuta Teridax to get vengeance on the Toa Mata. The Tahnok attacked the village of Po-Koro and the surrounding Po-Wahi, laying siege to the village. The swarms were eventually driven away by the combined efforts of three Toa.
Another swarm was trapped by Gali, Pohatu, and Kopaka by a flood, but half of them were able to escape by boiling away the water. Kopaka later tracked a swarm of Tahnok while picking off stragglers to locate their nest. After the Toa Mata invaded the Bohrok's nest and imprisoned their queens, the Bahrag, the Bohrok became docile and were used as labor by the Matoran they once terrorized and as auxiliary forces if the Toa Nuva felt their numbers weren't enough. When the Bahrag were reawakened to prepare for Mata Nui's return, the Tahnok were finally able to carry out their task, save for the swarm that was sent into orbit.

Expert's Opinion[]
While an individual Tenno is far superior to an individual Tahnok, with both numbers and instantaneous, efficient coordination, the Tahnok overcame that deficit.
