Way before Velika was revealed as a Great Being, I thought he was a really cool character. His cryptic dialogue and otherworldly skill with technology caught my attention... but then he was sidelined in favour of new characters in 2007. Apart from him though, I'd say... Johmak. Nice powers and the potential for an interesting backstory, but alas she was also buried under even more characters. Just one of the downsides of populating a universe, I guess.

I think the best way Vezon could show up in Gen2 without confusing new fans or leading to a lot of questions would be graffiti on a temple wall in the background which reads "Vezon was here".

Ekimu

Ehlek

Hagah

Kopeke

They're from the 2002 LEGO Sports sets. Not really worth getting as they're hideous and don't look good on Matoran/Toa heads.

Sadly, we don't even know if Matoran exist in Gen2, and even if they are the same species as the "Protectors" we have no way of knowing if they have individual names or not.

Things like the naming of the Toa Cordak are bound to happen, because he no longer has a list of approved names from TLG, so the only way he can name things in the old universe is by using old names. I don't mind this, because it's always nice to see at least one person at TLG taking care of the old universe, in this case, naming a team that previously had no name. If that didn't happen, we would have just kept on calling them "Toa Team #1" or "Lesovikk's gang" forever, and that would have been lame. Unlike many fans who want NO questions answered whatsoever in order to maintain a fading sense of mystery or their own personal nostalgia, I'd rather have questions that have been on my mind answered, and questions answered now are better than questions answered never, IMO. As long as Greg doesn't start retconning things, we'll be fine (and he doesn't want us to let him do that, anyway).

What if the masks that the Toa come with are powerless, and only the golden ones give powers like speed, levitation, x-ray vision etc. Calling it now.

Wait, where is the word "Kanohi" mentioned? Glad I'm not the only one who's a bit disappointed... hopefully the story will get more complex as time goes on though, like it did in the original Bionicle.

Hey guys, I just realized, everything seems to be pointing towards a release of the Mask of Creation later next year, so does that mean an Ekimu set with it? He seemed to be the same size as the Toa in the animation shown at NYCC.

Lewa can now control both plantlife and air, and all Pohatu can do is throw stones at people? Lame.
