Here's my theory:

What if the Rahski is just armour? It seems to me that Makuta's goal is to put these Kraata onto the Toa Nuva's faces(possibly to dominate them) so the Rahski could just be robotic armour for the Kraata.

Post your thoughts and ideas here.

No, The Kraata arn't like krana in that they control other beings by attaching to their face Gregf said they are leeches so my guess is they do not control rather they drain the life from thei enemies

And second I don't think the rahkshi are just armor they did that with the Bohrok and now they are moving on.

And if they are, then LEGO is REALLY redundant.

Well, even if they officially are but mere drones, they won't be in my Bionicle continuity. I've always thought of them as just as intelligent and living as the Toa, and will continue thinking of them that way. I wonder if they'll keep the same gender formula, with all of them being male except Guurahk... I actually had this idea that all 6 were female, but, we'll see...

No, I don't mean that the Kraata control the Rahski, I mean that the Rahski are living beings whose goal is to get the Kaata onto the Toa's faces.

You mean like some form of Bohrok only these guys live and have fre wills and as for the few pics I've seen of the Kraata it doesn't seem like they can be put on the faces of the as Toa(as a set)

hmm, you could be right. I don't know. I think I heard greg say that the kraata are like something we've never seen before, but I could be wrong.

i hope not i hope that the rashki are liveing and the kraata are
a link to mukuta so that insead of the rashki going to mukuta
the rashki kraata are a tecintic link.

This is what I think:

Why would Makuta make the same mistake as the Bahrag? Why would Makuta create something artifical, when an organic being can do much better? If the Rahkshi were armour, then he would be following in the steps of the Bahrag. He would be following the path of failure, again.

the kraata are leaches right and what do leaches do they attach to a living being unnotticed and start drinking blood the being then becomes a host maybe the kraatta let's the rahiksido what they want by sending messages to there head and if they don't they'l drink there blood

That happens. Sometimes. Except I don't think Makuta is stupid enough to give his minions the same powers as the Toa have. Remember, the Rahski have way different powers.

yeah, i think they absorb power anduse it against their foe.
the rahkshi are normal biengs, but thats just me speaking!

im pretty sure, when i was looking at the picture of the kratta somewere, i saw a little circle that looked like it was able to go onto the toa's face , as i recall, but im not sure

Off topic-how do you change your name?

Since they are being called leeches I agree that they are not meant to control but stink life away. I think it does go on the toa's face.

I think that the krata are a last resort for the rahkshi like if the had their staffs removed the krata would suddenly fly out ant suckk out the enemies power then use the power to create another rahkshi

they might be in like a backpack and i thinkthat the rahkshi arn't as unreliable and easy to defeat as the bohrok

I doubt they're armor; there's only six of them, and they'e Makuta's most important minions this time. I mean, if I were Makuta, I would only send something that actually lives to hunt down the Mask of Light.

i dont think so because the Rahkshi are out to stop jaller and takua from finding the ToL.thought the Kraatta might be able to attach to Matoran?!

The armour is a good idea.....but i have an idea that they are real beings...kinda like the toa.

Okay some thoughts I came up with about the Rahkshi:

1: Makuta came up with the idea for the Rahkshi after watching the Bohrok and Kal take on the Toa and give them a real hard time.

2: Instead of making the Kraata control the Rahkshi, it could be the other way around. So that the Rahkshi always remain free to still work.

3: If 2 is correct then that would mean that the Rahkshi would be able to control whoever was unlucky enough to get stuck (Hopefully not Lewa)
4: The Rahkshi are way cool.

Well, if they do drain the life from their enemies, then maybe Makuta DOES want to put a kratta on their face.

The Kraata are Power Sources for the Rahkshi, but not in the way you think.
They give the Rahkshi more strength, and they evolve, grow stronger, and power up the Rahkshi even more.

Whether or not they'll have another use, I don't know.

Hmmm... possibly, but I don't think so.
That would be a little repetetive, don't you think?

saright here's my guess: the rahkshi and their kraata are forced sybiotes (makuta made it so they seperate for really long without problems) and the kraata can take energy to evolve and power it's rahkshi better.

does that make any sort of sense at all?

Someone said something like this, but I think the Kraata are a sort of cocoon, and when the Rahkshi are in trouble, they latch on to the enemy and stink out it's energy. And with that energy, it either

A: gives the energy to the Rahkshi so it's powered again or

B: it uses the energy and grows into something. Another Rahshi? a big leech? or maybe something we haven't heard of, and that's why the Kraata are supposed to be so different. You never know.

the kraata are used to infect masks with one touch

I think that the Kratta just give more power to the Rahkshi.

I think the rahkishi are mothers and the kraata are babys

You know, it's kinda funny that you would say that, because I had a hunch that all 6 Rahkshi are female... don't know if it's correct or not, but...
