We are all so excited about the new sets, that there might be some things we have overlooked..........

1.) We know now from one of the recently released Bohrok Kal pics that there are 8 krana for each of the Kal. But there is only one of each Kal. So why would there need to all 8 krana again? How can there be ranks if there are 48 Krana and 6 Kal?

2.) If the Matoran didn't appear in the Retail Pre-Order catalog that all the other sets' pictures were taken from, does that mean that the separate Matoran Packs won't be released until 2004? (And yes, there are supposed to be separate Matoran packs, it's not just something I made up)

3.) The Matoran look bigger than the Turaga! If the Turaga rule over the Matoran, but the Matoran tower over the Turaga, won't that set something off balance? Will there be a rebelion at the government by the Matoran?

4.) If there is going to be a Toa of Light, then won't there have to be a Rahkshi of Light, and a city of light, and etc.......? Maybe, whenever a Toa Nuva puts on the Mask of Light, then that Toa Nuva becomes the Toa of Light. When they take it off, they go back to normal. For all the current Toa Nuva, they have one elemental power supplied by their body, and one other power supplied by their mask. These two powers are always different. So if it's the Toa of Light, then it's elemental power is Light. It's mask power could be transformation, allowing the user to transform into the Toa of Light. Maybe?

5.) If the Kal have new elemental powers, such as Plasma, will the Rahkshi have the same ones, or will they go back to the original powers, such as fire?

6.) What will the Toa of Light's weapon be? Maybe if you look closely at the picture of Takanuva you can tell? I sure can't, but maybe you can?

Those are my questions. How many can you answer?

Well, each breed of krana also gives some power as well as a "rank," so maybe the Kal change their own krana to suit their need and the rank part has been nulified.

I thought Tufi saw them in that catalog. I could be wrong.

Its possible that the Turaga would be motified, like the Matoran, to match the movie. Also, in tribes, ancient cultures, etc., the elders of the group were always respected for their wisdom, knowledge, etc., not for their
stature.

Most likely the ToL will be a wanderer (kinda like Takua) because a light koro would mean.. light matoran? I don't think that a bunch of matoran would appear out of nowhere. Its possible, though. Anything you said in number 4 could be true.

I think they will probably revert back to the original elements, as their colors represent the original elements,
while the Kal are mainly metallic colored now (if I remember correctly).

I can't see a weapon either. I don't think the Toa of Light would need a weapon, he probably is glowing normally, so maybe he could conrol his natural brightness and shape it into beam emitting from his hands? Just a guess.

Good idea. Maybe that's true. Maybe the Kal have to collect all the regular Krana Kal to get the golden and silver Krana Kal, just as the Toa have to do with their Kanohi

No, I don't think Tufi saw the separate Matoran packs, just the Matorans that come with the Gukko bird and Pewku. (of course I could be wrong)

And about the Turaga. True, they might be respected, but won't they feel funny being the shortest things around?

Thanks, Vohrahk for your ideas!

PS - how do you do multiple quotes in one post?

I agree there-there are very few explanations for why a whole bunch of matoran and a turaga just suddenly "appear."

I have though this for a long time...I was disappointed when I saw they had normal krana with new colours, but if the storyline is good, it may make up for it. Escpecially if it involves gold and silver krana!

BTW, to add more than one quote, you only have to do the same again as you did to quote someone the first time.

Also about the Turaga... there is one major difference that I forgot. The Matoran are powerless. The Turaga have the powers of their Noble Masks... the Matoran probable realize this. Off topic: you can quote multiple quotes in
a post by copying part of whatever you want to quote inside a pair of quote html tags. Just use the quote button while you are typing a post (at the top).

This is what i tink

1.) I tink they could change krana like the Toa change kanohi
3.) I tink the matoran on the pic was go in the protodermis and they evolve
4.) Look on kini-nui...there are no bohrok or toa or other and its a ''village''(more a temple i know)
5.) I tink the rahkshi is the same power then the toa

i think matoran could just start mysterously be popping up in some places, and part of the storyline is takua discovering thier village.

Yup. Takua could once again be the big hero. That might be part of the Mask of Light. Who knows.............

1. for the kal q/a think of the toa nuva. they had to do the same thing. only sience the bohrok had 8 too.

2.the matoran packs are 4.00. look for something 4.00/3.99. in the futre. the admins might have not gotten pics/prices for them.

rahkshi may not have old/used elements at all they could have new ones!
