Best Shield?


WeatherDragon

Recommended Posts

I've never been a fan of shields that had many holes in them, as they don't seem like they'd be either sturdy or effective. As such, I've always been fond of the Skrall shield and Kopaka Nuva's shield, though between the two I prefer the former.

Mine is probably Nuparu Mahri's shield. It's probably the most protective shield, and seems the most solid. Skrall's is cool, too, but it isn't as big and powerful as Nuparu's. Gresh's shield has a huge hole in the middle, and Lhikan's has two, so I can't say they're very protective. As for parts use, I still like Nuparu's. It has just enough connections to be useful, but not so many that the design of the shield suffers, so it has quite a few uses. Lhikan's are too big, and are hard to use properly. Gresh's have a lot of connection points, so they look a bit hollow. Skrall's is almost impossible to use as anything besides a shield or hat, so it's annoying. So, my favorite is Nuparu's shield.

why does it matter that greshe's shield is so holy? if you need to block sword attacks, that can make it even easier. but I love skralls shield.

Toa Lhikan or Toa Hagah Norik. I do like Nuparu Mahri's shield, but it's not in the same class.

That depends on whether we are talking aesthetics and versatility in the canon, or IRL in MOCing.I do like the Hagah shields for a more imposing sort of character, while the Kopaka shields look more like bucklers.Most shields have holes however, and as such they don't appeal to me as much.

In the Bionicle universe, it is not metal but air that is most effective at halting the motion of weapons. Hence, each shield is designed not to provide protection in itself, but rather to organize the air molecules in the most efficient configuration. That is why there is such an incredible abundance of holes.

 

...I'm going to have to go with Skrall's.

I would say that I like the Hagah shields the most, though they're pretty much tied with Lhikan's shield. Coming close behind those two are Nuparu's shield and Kopaka Nuva's shield, because they can actually, y'know, protect the user. :P

Time is beyond relative here.

There's no reason not to put lasers in the palms of planet-sized robots. In fact, if I had my own planet-sized robot, palm lasers would be one of my first upgrades.

May or may not be back from a multi-year hiatus. We'll see how this works out...

Being the old-school guy that I am, Imma go with Kopaka Nuva's shield. No fancy decorations, no holes, just a big, solid hunk o' plastic/protodermis for protecting yourself. I like that.
