Rahkshi seems like Rahi(sorry if this was confirmed or anything,didn't know if it was)and could be upgraded,protodermis Rahi!

That is an interesting idea...

but this belongs in the Theories forum. Moving there now...

lol this makes no sense but....

Rahi

Yes interesting. I dont think that the Rahkshi are pretodermis rahi but it seems that Makuta names all of his minions with a Rah.

Yeah thought so (That it would go in Theories,sorry about that if you gt me wrong!)And yeah NK that sounds interesting!Could meen the Bohrok-Kal and Rahkshi form on and become a giant monster called the mighty Rahkshi!MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!


P.S:Rahkshi-ksh=Rahi

Maybe the borhok found the rahi and did something that made the Rahkshi. In one of the comics one of the bahrag said "You have no idea what you have unleashed!" Maybe that was the rahkshi. Then they put them in cages but when the bohrok were defeated then they escaped. That's just my theory about them.

hmm i dunno i think they were talking about the Kal

Nah wouldn't really think that the rahi are related to the new foes...hey i wonder if the bohrak-kal and the Rahkshi have any relationship at all

Hey maybe the Baraq were good guys and were trying to worn them and the Kal were the leaders of all who are trying to beat the Rahkshi!GregF said that 1 Kal defeats a hole other swarm!Maybe the swarm was trying to attck Motaran and they were saving them!Just a guess....

If you look at the Rahkshi and thier weapons, they look similar to the Toa. They may be clones of the Toa.
Here's my theory:-

The Toa go into the Protodermis, while this is happening the Protodermis makes a clone of them (this is unkown to the Toa). These Toa clones spend longer in the Protodermis than the Toa, this mutates them (as it did the Toa) further than the Toa Nuva. Causing them to have spikes, this would alos makes them a match for the Toa Nuva if they are better. The Toa Nuva will be more intelligent though. <That Emoticon is cool!

cool idea, but i think that Makuta just made the new Rahi after he saw what happened to the toa after they got protodermic enhanced!!

It is a likely possibility but we can only be 100% sure when they come out in the store or when LEGO tells us

could be upgraded,protodermis Rahi!

good idea

Hi, errrr, can someone post pics, because i never saw them because i couldn't use the internet the day they were shown, please, thanx.

The Rahkshi being clones of the Toa is a very good possibility. Maybe they were the six stones surrounding Makuta when the legend was being told.

One thing that may seperate the Rahkshi from the Rahi...

There are more than one of each breed of Rahi. To me it seems that there's only one of each Rahkshi, just like there was one of each Bohrok Kal. From what I've been hearing these Rahkshi are very powerful; there is little need for a whole swarm of them.

same here
i would have to go an vistit my arnt

You've got a point...but I think its probably just a coincidence. Who knows, Rahkshi probably wont be their final names anyway, so it could go wither way. They look like the prefect Anti-Toa. even more so than the Bohrok Kal.

You should check Brickshelf, the have some there...

I assume that they're all original foes for the toa, but then again, the Rahkshi do have their similarities.

Well, I doubt they are proto-fied Rahi...they are far to unlike them. They are different from any enemy before because they seem to be human-like...as the Toa are. My idea is that, in order to combat the Toa Nuva, Makuta created the Rahkshi, or should I say, mutated the Shadow Toa. For some reason or other, Makuta decided that a simple that making Shadow Toa Nuva was not the way to fight them, probably because the Toa beat the Shadow Toa, so the Toa Nuva should beat the Shadow Toa Nuva.

go to the voting booth somewhere in there theres some pics

I think they are the Mask of Light emeinies.

Hey, your right! I can't beleive I missed that...

I noticed the rahi rahkshi realationship at first but when I got to looking at the pics I realized they had no resemblence to the original rahi. I guess they could I just wasn't openminded. Original, what a rare word in the bionicle world.

PS: were back!

I doubt that they are Rahi transformed by proto. The Rahi became uninfected, therefore they would no longer be evil, and tranformation by proto. would not make them more evil or more good. But anything's possible. Talking about clones of the Toa is of-topic, start a new thread if you want to talk about that.

Well technically its not offtopic since they are talking about how the rahkshi may be clones but ok I think the rahkshi are enemies to the kal and the toa. Maybe the kal are good htey just dont know better than to destroy everything on matanui until its barren waste. Maybe the rahkshi are the true evil. Eh who knows. Have to wait till 2003.

no there off the internet and wont be seen till july/august next year. I have all the Nuva

Yes, I posted pics in the Rahkshi poll first page.

They are the new enemies in the world of Bionicle possibly from the MoL movie.

I think CB might have hit the nail on the head. But they look too animal/savage like to have come from the Toa. Kind of leaning towards a Rahi feeling...the clones CB was talking about might have taken the evil parts of the Nuva and formed these Rahkshi with the help of Protodermis...because it is the stuff of life afterall.

Or maybe they were always here and the ever-watching Makuta has unleashed them. I don't know, just some ideas.

::: NN :::

my theory is that they were terrorizing the populace before mata nui fell asleep, and he killed them and sealed them underground. and then something wierd happenms and they rise from the dead to bring the toa nuva to their knees.

it's just a theory. someone please prove me wrong

Rahkshi are like Gnolls from Warcraft3( for those of you who have the w3 game manual, turn to page 139)

I don't think that the rashik(or whatever)
are realated to Makuta or the rahi!

But why are lego bringing out 12 new enemoes with the same sort of colour scheme?
I is REALLY gettin' boring!

Hey for all we know the Kal are good guys trying to save the people from the Rahkshi!Maybe the Bohrok were searching for the Rahkshi so it would be like the before time,before the Rahkshi were there!

how do you know rahkshi are bad guys...maybe they're another transformation from toa nuva to rahkshi-if they did turn into rahkshi, it'll be cool!!!Btw, remember the time where everybody thought the nuva were new foes, well they weren't

look on the voting booth topic "what is your favorite rahkshi" and youll see 6 brickshelf links. they are there

I don't think lego allows that,

Anyways the rahi are larger than the rahksi (sp?) Also, I dont' thinkl the rahi were really elemental

Happy thanksgiving everyone!

Good idea but im not sure the rahi didnt have those colors but still it would be cool

Listen they are not rahi because the rahkshi are only six and where not put in protomisies. they are just knew enemys made by makuta

Yes it is a very interesting theory
and I see what you mean by Mahuta Naming his minions with Rah
But, remember when the Bionicle comic writer answerd some questions
and he said that therewould be no new rahi

I think that the Rahkshi are compleatly new creatures
Don't you think that they are extreamly insect like in design
also I dont think that they are Rahi Nuva because fore something to be a Nuva it has to be mutated by Protodermis and from what I understand their are no Rahi
appart from the Manas that dwell that for down in the surface of
Mata-Nui
but this is only my oppinion

there are no new rahi except the u build it ones from lego.com

why would the toa change again? if the translations are true, thenall of them end witha waord witha 2 word prefix such as "ko-" and when the toa changed, they still kept their names

Well if they are mutated Rahi they don't look like it.

I thought all the infected Rahi were dis-infected, and now are taimed. I don't know about the protodermis stuff, I think they were there before the Toa went into the protodermis, like the Bohrok-Kal. Perhaps they are Makuta, split up into six different warriors, so they can do more damage at a time, and they can combine into one, the true form of Makuta. Makuta was said to come out in 2003, and we know that the Bokrok-Kal are for the first half of the year, and these Rahkshi are for the later half, so, mabey their true form is Makuta.

Here they are Rahkshi.

Maybe it's Bohrok Kal and loose Rahi mixed into a protodermis pool on Mata-Nui.
