I'll accept different ideas, but I DO NOT want this topic turned into an argument. Anyway, I reckon that the Toa Nuva don't have Gold Kanohi Nuva 'cos a Kanohi(one that has powers, not like Matorans') is a symbol of power and therefore a symbol of Light, 'cos a Toa represents Light, are you with me? They're beings of Light. Well a Silver Kanohi is even better, and a Gold one is-er,was-the best. Then when they found(or rather got) their Nuva masks, it was even more power and so more Good was in them, more Light. Then they got Silver ones, but never Gold ones, or they'd be wearing them by the time the Kal came and stole they're Elemental Powers. Maybe it's 'cos that would be just so much Light that it would have to be the MoL. It might be revealed in the movie, but for now I think that the Mask of Light is the equivalent in Power of a Gold Kanohi Nuva.

Err... 1. No one said (i think) that the toas are beings of light. The tol is...
2. They got grey (protodermic) kanohis, not silver. wich means they
lost their elemental powers.
3. They dont have gold masks because they dont need multiple masks. The kanohi nuva affects those around him/her.

(points at Lordofthekal)what he said, but good theory. i thought the nuva COULD become gold and the toa would still not have their elemental powers, but i was wrong.

I'm not sure if I agree with that theory, they don't need Golden Kanohi Nuva because it affects those around 'em.

Thye didn't. They turn the colour of protodermis when they lose their powers. Plus, the actual depleted Kanohi are silver. Look on Bionicle.com for proof.

Oh,whoops, this is really embarrassing.
Please don't think I'm thick or anything but I went on the Bionicle website and then on the latest video and it showed their masks totally grey. Now, as I'm a member of the Lego club I get the magazine and with the latest one it had the latest Bionicle comic-a whole proper comic, not like the cheap extracts they used t' do-and it had the Nuva's masks their normal colour but with a grey patch smothering the majority of the mask.
Now I get it!

P.S. It's April Fool's Day 2day!

P.P.S. And at the end of that comic Tahu Nuva says:
"There is something that can be done.
Something I hoped I would never have to do.
Something which could mean the end of everything.
I call upon-
The Mask of Time!"
Aaaaaand that brings up another question-what's he gonna do???

They won't need the golden nuva masks as long as they stay together.

O.K. I know why they don't have them now. But why would terrible things happen if TN used the Vahi?

That question´s answer is easy: Its because it is said that the brings destructive powers which could mean the end of everything becaus its power are so great.

O.K. I get the Vahi thing now. You shouldn't mess around with the space-time continuum(sp?). This topic should be closed. It's a wrong bad theory.(What does Tahu do with the Vahi anyway?)
