I wanted something to hold my extra Toa masks when they were wearing either there standard or golden one. So I made a Suva Design in LDD .LXF file http://www.brickshel...i_suva_2015.lxf Pics (Each colored Bohrok tooth tells which mask goes where) (The one in the center is for the Mask Of Creation) http://www.brickshel...va_2015_001.png (Lewa, Tahu and Gali) http://www.brickshel...va_2015_002.png (Onua, Kopaka and Pohatu) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/kanohi_suva_2015_003.png (View of underside) I need to make some Bricklink orders for the real life version. Until then feel free to use this design for your masks as well.

Just a little fun with the old comics...Vakama's befuddled stare at the Nuva symbol just lept out "old guy having tech trouble" so much that this came to be.I See many other instances in these issues that I might do more...Please reply with your thoughts below, It would mean a lot.- - Koro~Chaos - -

So I've been practicing my writing by rewriting the main Bionicle story with some differences, depending on what I feel works. Thinking about how I am going to handle some things, I've run into questions that some of you may or may not be able to help with. Rather than make a bunch of topics over time, I thought of as many as I could and compiled them all at once.1. I'm assuming the Turaga hid the Great Kanohi on Mata Nui, so why didn't Makuta just destroy the masks? The masks were unnecessary to awaken Mata Nui, and there was no need to give the Toa more power. Maybe it amused him to let the Toa search for a tiny bit more power knowing it would not help them in the long run? Pretty minor question with no real effect, I'm just curious.Exo-Toa2. What was the purpose of the Exo-Toa in the Bahrag lair? My personal theory is that they were supposed to protect the Bahrag while they were asleep, but I have no evidence.3. Why would Exo-Toa prevent the use of elemental powers?4. Why did the Exo-Toa in the Bahrag lair attack the Bohrok-Kal? Were they operating on the goals of the Toa Mata as the last people who used them?A lot of the Bohrok Kal saga didn't make sense so I'll ignore it for now.Suva5. How did Tahu's Nuva symbol survive the destruction of the Suva? Did some quick-thinking guard grab it?6. I assume the Suvas did not always exist on Mata Nui and the Turaga made them based on some prior knowledge?7. The Suvas on Mata Nui seemed to be attached to the ground, so I assume the Toa/Turaga simply carried the individual masks and Nuva symbols down to Metru Nui?8. Could multiple Toa use the same Suva?9. Why didn't Lhikan use the Suva and abundance of masks in the Great Temple?10. How did travel between Mata Nui and Metru Nui work? I never understood this. The Toa Metru were able to get to Mata Nui by boat, yet Mata Nui is directly above Metru Nui. I assume the airships were able to fly through some cave systems in Mata Nui Robot's face to come out on the surface, but I never understood how they were able to sail upward.11. How did Vakama know the teleportation disk he launched at a fleeing Nuhrii would bring him closer and not send him further away?12. What was the point of the Morbuzahk? I think I read on BSO1 it was supposed to drive all Matoran to the Coliseum where they would be encapsulated, but disguised as Dume, Teridax could just call an assembly to bring them all together, which is what he ended up doing, anyway.13. Why didn't Makuta kill the Toa Metru? As far as I can tell, if all of the Matoran were encapsulated and the Metru dead, his plan would work just fine, and I don't think he should have had any trouble dispatching six inexperienced Toa. Instead he played a game of cross the street without getting hit by a car and got himself imprisoned.14. When Avak trapped Kopaka in his mental prison, why didn't Kopaka attack Avak directly instead of focusing on the cage?15. Are the powers listed for Axonn and Brutaka the full extent of their abilities, or is it unknown exactly how much they can do? Again, just curiosity.16. I may have overlooked this while reading the books, but why did Makuta send the Piraka to Voya Nui? Was it just to get himself into a position where he could directly affect event when things weren't going exactly how he wanted them to?Some Bigger questions:16. How exactly did the Matoran's work in Metru Nui keep Mata Nui alive? They provided resources like tools, but they didn't seem to ever do anything that directly affected the Robot besides liquid protodermis purification and solid/molten protodermis reclamation. Because seriously, Po-Matoran carvers contributed absolutely nothing, as far as I can tell.18. What was the purpose of any species other than Makuta, Matoran, and Rahi? Not including some one-offs like Karzahni, Artahka, Tren Krom, and some of the Hand of Artahka/OoMN members.19. What was the purpose of Matoran outside Metru Nui? I assume maintenance, but we never saw that happening and if they were maintenance crews, wouldn't it have been better if they knew why and what they were maintaining (Big Robot).20. Why didn't anyone know they were in a big robot? Was it to prevent anyone from getting ideas like Makuta?21. Almost forgot. Does magnetism affect only magnetic substances (metals and magnetic rock)? So it would be mostly useless in a purely organic environment.And while I'm making a long list of questions, I'm going to throw in some opinions as well:Reidak's power is ridiculous and terribly defined.Is anyone else frustrated by the fact that, in hindsight, the Toa Nuva never won? Every victory they had as a team was already predicted and expected/hoped for by Makuta. And they were the central characters of the story and were the most powerful Toa and everything. It's just kind of a downer whenever looking back at the story ever since Makuta took over the MU in 2008.~Legoman

Firstly, I'd like to apologise if this point has already been addressed or covered -- it's something that has been nagging my mind for a while now, and which I wish to find the answer to. I scoured the old forums including the bygone Official Kanohi Guide in search of answers but I got mixed and mostly inconclusive results. I looked on BS01 but the Kanohi guide didn't do much to explain aspects of the masks apart from known types and the process of mask forging. I also looked on BS01 for Suva functions but since the page is null currently, I didn't get any results.My question is this: how exactly are Toa able to "switch" what Kanohi they are wearing on their face? I was always under the impression that they needed to be linked (in spirit?) to a designated Suva where other Kanohi were stored and they could swap -- send the Kanohi on their face back into the Suva over distance in favour of another one in storage. To me, for the longest time, this seemed like a fairly solid theory.But I've been out of touch with the in-depth BIONICLE media for a while now, it's been ages since I've picked up a book and the deeper intricacies of its universe are beginning to elude me. Leafing through my older comics, though, I noticed something. In the very first Mata Nui set comic, when Kopaka is depicted as arriving from his Toa canister, he sets off on a quest to the "place of far seeing" on Mount Ihu to find one of the Kanohi. He finds a Hau, and he puts it on directly over his Akaku, which seems to morph away, and he says something along the lines of, "I can feel the Mask of Shielding protecting me, but the powers of the Mask of Vision are still mine to command." So he was successfully accessing two Kanohi, both on his face, with only one physically apparent, without any help from a Suva. :???:This is continued in the subsequent Mata Nui comics, such as when Gali makes a speedy grab of the Kanohi Miru and saves herself from a deadly fall by immediately snapping it on over her Kaukau and hovering, or when Lewa does the same with a Kakama and speed-kicks his way out from underwater.So are Toa able to wear more than one Kanohi at a time without help from a Suva? Do they even need a Suva in the first place? And if they don't, how many Kanohi are they able to wear on their face at one time without the magic backpack that swallows up all of them but one becoming full?Again, I apologise if this question has already been addressed.P.S. On an unrelated note, I also have a really quick question about Kanohi colour -- do they retain colour after being removed from a Toa/Matoran/Turaga/etc face, or do they become grey?Thank you for reading!
