Why are there only six of them but tons of other bohrok?

Personally, I like having only six Kal. Then the toa can go one on one with them and there can be more depth to the story. Plus, they're so powerful, if there were more than six, the island could be destroyed easily. Thats my opinion.

becuase there like 1 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 times more stroger than the borag.....ok   by the way  welcome

Well, that's to be expected.  Anything else? anybody?

Ok, Gregf said that the Bohrok-Kal will not destroy the island or even try to do it.  

well just to clear somthing up. no they will not try to harmn the island and their first objective is to get the nuva out of thier way and they do that succesfully also. and as gregf said they are only six cause they are soooooooo powerful and intelagent you only need six. and remember how powerful the regular bohrok were well imagine this gregf said that we might get to see one yes one bohrok-kal take out a whole swarm of bohrok thats eight of the most powerfull biengs on mata-nui.

why are there only 6 toa?  some things in the bionicle world are just so powerful that there need only be a few.  the only way the old bohrok were strong, was if they came at you in a large group of 20.  otherwise, they were pushovers.  it is a lot easier to create wimpy little creations in mass than it is to create really good ones.  quantity or quality.  my personal theory on the kal is that they are the original creation that the later bohrok attempted to mimic.  perhaps they are more alive this time.  i dont think the whole krana thing works the same this time.  since there are only 6, they cant really go around krana'ing things left and right.

BTW, a swarm is all the Bohrok of one species, a squad is eight Bohrok.
Remember how the Toa weren't actually able to defeat the Bohrok above ground? They could only slow them down to steal the Krana. So if the Bohrok-Kal can defeat a swarm, then they are POWAFO! (powerful)

Well I personaly think that having only six Bohrok-Kal is much better. Having thousands of Bohrok in each swarm made each Bohrok seem so insignificant.

Because these Bohrok Kal, unlike the other Bohrok, have individual personalities, and they are in some way the 'original' Bohrok.
Why have a swarm of identical Bohrok if they all have a different personality? That's like having countless twin brothers...
In addition, there are also only 6 Toa, each with his or her own personality and powers. This way, they are a group, a team, and not just a swarm of mindless drones.

I would have to guess that lego is sencing some irratation over the last line of Bohrok. They basically wrote it in that each of us has to buy as many bohrok and va as there are krana. many people probably left because it was too much. I think lego wisly chose not to run the risk of dictating how many we have to buy before we have a "compleat set". I am still trying to collect all the bohrok and hav not had any money to get the Barag and the exo. I have 4 of each bohrok and 6 of each va. nothing can make me stop collecting bionicles but if they release another line of randomly assorted collectable masks I am really going to be angry.

Well, to make a long answer short...LEGO had a swarm last time so this time they're going to jumble it around a bit.

That's probably it but they're incredibly strong and what challenge would it be having a swarm of invincible super-villains to fight.

As for the Krana I don't know yet, they're probably just some enhanced beef-ups...I dunno yet.

Well i 4 1 like this better. The idea of a swarm never seemed that cool to me. the Kal are like the Toa but with two differences: They're evil (duh), and they look different. I think they are another brainchild of the bahrag, though this time they wont do the simple superior numbers deal. (kanbei lol)
I dunno...

Yes it is agreed that 6 are much better than a thousand

what if the Kal and the Nuva are both going for the same thing like a race

You may have a point there, but I thought the Bohrok Kal want to get rid of the Toa Nuva without injuring the island.

What if the Kal are the swarm leaders. I know the bahrag run the entire thing, but what if the Kal were the leaders of each of six different squads? With their squads gone there really isn't anythiong left except to the Nuva.

I like having only six Borak Kal. Now i dont have to buy 999999999999
9999999999999999999999999999999999 Tahnok to make a big swarm

Off topic: i got 7 tahnok

well, then, why not a swarm of Toa? I mean, it is the same concept here, don't you think?

i think that it stinks that they were coming out with new bohrok with new colors. They took away the swarm idea cuz they didn't want prized collectors to get discouraged, i bet soon they'll have another kind of swarm idea. Personally, the swarm idea is cool for a little bit, but priced at 7.99 each, i dunno how professional collectors keep up.

you all underestamate the kai all six can easly defeat the toa but nuva who knows maybe one kai can easly defeat a villiage mabe the are much stonger than you think

I think they're perfect anti-toa.

I see.....

On the risk of not saying anything on a big topic, here i go.

The Bohrok-Kal are so powerful that they only need one of
each, picture them as the eliet forces of bohrok, or elevated
above the rest, even their krana, which i beleive control them,
are more powerful than the standard ones.

IMPORTANT NOTE
But guys, after the Bohrok-Kal arive you should be prepared
for a very boring time (exept for the comics), as you in
america have to wait four months  after the kal release date,
and us in Great Britain have to wait three months , as there
will be NO turaga sized sets for next year, as the next set of
figures after the Kal arive in july which will be the start of the
movie related storyline.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Sorry to break the bad news, but look on the bright side we
still have the comics!

It would have been stupid to have another Bohrok Swarm.
Lego did the right choice by saying there were only six. Plus they defeat the Toa/Toa Nuva.

-Kanohi Nuva

I like having just six because it makes the Bohrok Kal more scary.And besides, I don't want to have to buy 96 Bohrok and Va.

they are so much stronger that they form an entire swarm at their own and maybe they work together as 1 swarm,1 powerfull swarm

this is my therey: mukta is jellus of what mata nui had. he cam to the island and ruled with darkness. the toa came. they defeted him. when makuta was defeted the bohrok where released sort of as a fail safe for makuta's defeet. the barag and the swarm is here the is destroy the island for makuta, because if can't have it no one can. the toa defeeted the barag the queens of the hive. and like any bee hive there are replacement leaders. They Are The Bohrok Kal. And they are here to Remove the obsticals. the toa are goning to need that armor soon.

It might just be that the Kal wish to protect the island themselves and so they see that the Toa are doing this so they get jelous and decide to remove the Toa without hurting the island they wish to protect.

thier are only six bohrok-kals because only six bohrok jumped into the protodermis after the toa.
I believe that lego may bring bohrok va into play along with motoran nuva.

First of all, they did not 'jump into the protodermis'. If you'll check GregF's answers on the news page, you'll find that the Bohrok Kal are not Nuva creatures as we know them.
Second of all, there are no Turaga-sized sets planned for 2003. This means no Bohrok Va Kal. You could say that these Va Kal might be a bigger size, but there would be no need for them, as they Bohrok Kal are not the type that need a Krana replacement service.
There are probably a few Matoran planned for release, but it is too early to say whether or not they will be Nuva, although I'd go with a simple 'no'.

These are probably Special Edition Bohrok.  They seem to be Nuva without Protodemis.  Greg said the Kal story will be over before it starts, but run from Nov.-May.  Maybe they are Bohrok remnants, or the original template for the swarms.  I don't think they are the new enemy though, not the "what are those things."  Just a shadow tie-in, probably in comic 9,  "Divided We Fall", since we're geting this info now.    I look forward to seeing them on sale in Kal-Mart.

i like having only six so you don't have to get billions of them.

   i think there should be12

what if the bohrok was like the immune system for mata nui, thatd make the toa the evil ones. also the bohrok kal may be using the origonal krana since they probably are higher up that the bahrag were
