Oh, they might still be there. Or not.

This might belong in theories and if so, please move this mods.
The canisters that the toa came in that drifted on the beach were still around at the end of the online game, has anything happened to them after that? did they drift off again?

i never thought of that, but i think they would stay there because originally, you would have to wewait for updates in the game in order advance so it took several months, so i'm sure they would stay there.

grrr those toa always littering  lol

Actually there's a topic somewhere that poses the theory that the new canisters are actually the tubes that the Toa went in to become Nuva.  It works for me.

but this is about the old canisters.

I think that they disappered. Splng.

Moving to Theories...

If the Toa Nuva (toy ones) are in different canisters, maybe the old canisters(game ones) changed into the new one? Maybe.
