Omega12 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 If the Matoran and the Toa were modeled after the Agori and the Glatorian, who were the Turaga Modeled after, or were they simply the GB creation? Is it possible that the GB didn't create the Turaga and that they are simply a byproduct of Toa loosing all of their energy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meta-Mind Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 The first Turaga were created by the Great Beings. It's unknown what exactly they were based on, though it's most likely to be Agori elders. There's been speculation that they were based on the Great Beings themselves, though, so your mileage may vary.

Hitoshura Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I doubt they were mideled after anything on SM. I think the GBs just made that up by themselves, like for a leader. Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonesiii Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) though it's most likely to be Agori eldersI agree. We have to keep in mind that Matoran are only 15% biological, so they will not tend to 'show their age', but an elderly Agori (85% bio... and naturally 100%) probably will. Of course, they have to live an incredibly long time for that to come into play, but they would have been known. Possibly more so in the more ancient times when the GBs first "came".

fishers64 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Is it possible that the GB didn't create the Turaga and that they are simply a byproduct of Toa loosing all of their energy? Negatory, because Toa who lose energy and haven't completed their destiny will still remain Toa. It's a Great Being design...after all, they designed the Toa to turn into Turaga when this happened, not just shut down. Agreed on the Agori elders thing...but even computers/mechanical parts can wear out. Granted, though, probably would take longer and would not result in a diminishment in form, whereas deteriorating organics do. Probably more symbolic, and also the practical leader aspect.

Jakura Nuva Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 To get a Turaga, you have to have a Toa who gives up his/her "Toa-power"... and then becomes a Turaga. The first Turaga were probably made beforehand as Turaga... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Jaller- Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 (edited) Meta-Mind and Bonesiii are probly correct. The village elders would probly be smaller than some agori, be weaker, ect. It makes sense when you look at it. Edited April 6, 2013 by Jaller1234567890 Quote LONG LIVE BIONICLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta_of_Oz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 If the Turaga of Mata Nui are anything to go by, maybe the GBs built the Bohrok Va first, and then based the first Turaga off them.

The first Turaga were probably made beforehand as Turaga...To confirm this, the first Turaga was just a Turaga. Then the GBs came up with the idea that Toa will become Turaga after they fulfilled their destiny and given up their Toa power.
