take the nuva mini comic, and look at the scene where you see them all on the platforms in the tubes. now picture a nuva canister(lid on)upside-down with no stickers. look familiar? the lid is the platform upside down!

I don't have my mini-comic handy, but you could be right.

Ya, you could be right, but I wonder what the design on the top side is?

-(V)oD -

Maybe, but I don't have my comic.

HEY, I'M A TOA!!!!!!!

I don't think so because that wouldn't explain why the top looks the way it does with all those holes in it.

Could be why. I always thought it was their suva.

It makes sense. Maybe the design on the top locks into something bigger.

I don't know about their patterns, but you can tell from the ridges on the side.

The top is a suva gone nuva the two extra holes on the top are for the mol and the vahi the six holes on the edge are for the six kanohi nuva.

nope the nuva lids arent the suvas look at the update theft of fire and youll see

Hmm...someone ought to link to a picture of the new Suva so we can see it and compare it to the Nuva lids.

More Spam... sorry, but that was spam man. oh well... anyway, I know what you mean... but I don't think that the Platforms are the lids upside down... because if you remember from the first ever comic, Kopaka just left his on the beach.

You are right,I looked through my comics and you're right.When they fall in the ground,it looks like a nuva lid!Good find

It's not their suvas, and the two top holes are fore their weapons. It's the panel after they sink into the ground.

yeah you could be right.

p.s my name isint takua233 anymore its Brave Fencer Takua.

Lewarocks!, please do not spam.
onto the topic: I have to agree with you. I never noticed that!

Here you go: Comic 9 Suva. I'm sure the comic version would be accurate, and no, it's not my Brickshelf, and if the owner TrueFear opposes the fact that I made a link to it, I'll remove and upload a pic myself.

People think about it. The original toa canisters were of when they landed on Mata Nui Right... RIGHT!!! So think about it The Nuva canisters would likely be the platform when they decended into the promotetis (sp) . And think about it even more.. THE bohrok and the Kal both there containers were they pods that they emerged from. SEE THE PATTERN. I HOPE YOU DO.

What pattern?
Frakly, most of the replys here don't make any sence to me.
Heres what I know.
The original can tops were the survas. At least, that's the purpose for the sets, I think. There's room for six masks, and a face to put on a seventh mask.
The ew lid still has the six holes, but the face has been chaged to two of those rigged pole holes, and a round hole. Mayb for two more masks, maybe for their weapons, maybe even for their symbol (doughtful).
Okay, I hope I made a bit of sence.

i checked and i believe you are truly right,Nuva Rules

that is a really cool find i agree with the proto from the ground thing (^,^)

I think you're right! And yes, there is a pattern.
First, the toa canisters are their pods that land on Mata Nui.
Then the Bohrok cans are their pods( you have to turn it up-side down to see the cell membrane that resembles the tops on the nests).
then the Toa Nuva have another set of arrival pods! Their nuva cans. Those are probably the 'buckets' in the protodermis 'well'( it dunks them, letting stuff in, but not out).
It makes perfect sense!

I see the pattern, but what use do the Nuva lids have after the Protodermis dunking?

well, i am planning on getting a second tahu nuva soon for moc reasons. i agree they do look like them. anyway, the reason i mentioned my new tahu nuva i because i will remove the label and possibly post pics of what it looks like without the label.
