SilentMoon1808 Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Ooooook, this is really random. You know, guys? I think that Lego could have used another color instead of the dark grey. If you noticed, they have used Krana colors already appeared as masks. So, let's list EVERY mask color: Brown - NOT APPEAREDTan - Pahrak VaBurnt Orange - NOT APPEAREDBlack - Nuhvok VaDark Grey - Actual Lehvak VaPurple - Gahlok VaTrans-Blue/Dark Blue - NOT APPEAREDLight Blue - KohrakBlue - TahnokRed - LehvakOrange - GahlokYellow - Tahnok VaGreen - PahrakLime - NuhvokTeal - NOT APPEAREDWhite - Kohrak VaLight Grey - NOT APPEAREDSand Blue - NOT APPEARED Ok, so... Six colors aren't used, seven with the Dark Grey... Dark Grey: Good choice for me, but there was a better one.Burnt Orange/Sand Blue/Light Grey/Brown/Trans-Blue: To be honest, these colors don't really work with the air ambience... Maybe the brown for the logs... So, of course, one color is available... The one that I probably find the best for the set...TEAL.Oh yes, teal. This color already appeared in Matoran Kongu and Tarakava. The could've done a lime Krana bag like Kohrak Va and Nuhvok Va (they have light grey and dark grey Krana bags because their krana were white and black) and used the Teal Krana. I'm already imaging those... THEY COULD HAVE BEEN REALLY COOL! Do you prefer the Dark Grey? Or the teal? Or another color? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommanderKumo Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Teal anything would be awesome in Bionicle, purple too, despite appearing in two sets Purple only ever got one mask Although dark grey krana have the advantage of being good standins for GPKK Quote My Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClo2J14RKmVtcnoJTv7g6PA , Bionicle films coming soon!

Pohaturon Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Teal automatically > every other choice, to be honest, though a solid brown Krana would also have been neat. I do agree however that the dark grey neither really fits the Air motif, nor is it really an appealing or interesting choice of color. 1 Quote Stone rocks Model Designer at The LEGO Group.

Noble Tehurye Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have an inordinate liking for Dark Grey, so I don't really mind it. But I agree, Teal would have been totally awesome and probably a much better fit. Nice theory, Shadow99! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice theory, Shadow99!Ty Yeah, Teal is one of the best colors in the whole Bionicle series probably.A teal Krana, with a purple one, would have been REALLY too good. But that is how life works. lolThey could've also thought about a scheme: Tahnok Va/Gahlok Va = Yellow and Purple (Tohunga colors)Lehvak Va/Pahrak Va = Dark Grey and Tan (Toa second color)Nuhvok Va/Kohrak Va = Black and White (Toa first color) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarix819 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 (edited) Teal would have been cool but by the time 2002 rolled around Lego decided that teal sucked and they didn't want to use it in Bionicle any more. At least purple lasted a bit longer. IMO they should have given Nuhvok Va the grey Krana rather than black and then given Lehvak-Va a teal Krana. Although to be fair, the Krana that the Bohrok-Va carry are supposed to represent dormant Krana, so it's completely understandable that they would be less vibrant than their counterparts in the regular Bohrok, and teal is a very vibrant colour.

I do agree with the turquoise/teal choice. Especially good as it's similar to the Amazon/Jungle Slizer colour scheme (turquoise/teal and green), and I am just as big a fan of Throwbot/Slizers as I am Bionicle. But I have one question. What storyline significance do these differently coloured krana have? I understand the bohrok-va carry extra krana for bohrok that have lost theirs, but what does this mean? Do the va krana change colour when placed in a bohrok? Do the va also communicate with the swarm via krana, and if so, do they become powerless once they hand theirs over? Sorry for the little bit of irrelevance of my question. Main point: I agree with the teal/turquoise, but I suppose what's done is done. It's been 15 years.

Sorry for the little bit of irrelevance of my question. Main point: I agree with the teal/turquoise, but I suppose what's done is done. It's been 15 years. The krana that the Bohrok Va are carrying are called "dormant" because they aren't in a Bohrok.When they are inserted into them, they change color to the one of the Bohrok's eyes and become "active"(example: Kohrak Va carries a white krana. This one is in the dormant form.When Kohrak uses his krana or needs to change it, Kohrak Va inserts his krana into the Bohrok and this one changes color to Light Blue (Kohrak eyes), becoming active). I hope I explained well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well Yellow is quite a pale colour compared to the Bohroks' standard colours - Blue, Orange, Red, Green, Light Blue, Lime Green - and even so Tahnok Va could be an exception. Teal is one of the most vibrant colours used in Bionicle and whilst I agree it would be a good choice on Lehvak Va, in terms of story relevance, it wouldn't make much sense IMO.
