the 2003 motran...how did they come to be?I think vakama used some kind or hocus pocuss to make the new form...what do you think?

Er, Vakama and the other Turaga taught them how to build themselves up. It says this in a Bionicle.com Update. Through the instruction of the Turaga the Matoran became stronger and more agile with more ability to defend their villages. It was their original form but Makuta's power weakened them. Now they are restored. After the Kal stole the symbols so easily the felt the Matoran needed to be stronger again. Hope that helps!

Wow.Im speechless.didnt think makuta weakened them thow!I thought they got exposed to Proto...

In the video, Vakama says: You all shall recieve a great gift from Mata Nui.
I'm guessing that Mata Nui just changed them.

He did. Did you ever read the legend of Mata-Nui on Bionicle.com? It said something about while Mata-Nui slept, the Matorans' powers were weakened.

Yeah, and there forms were regressed... And according to Greg the
new 2003 form is how the Matoran used to look when they first
arived on Mata-Nui.

yes,its strange.looks like they rebuild themselves up.But turaga vakama said:You all shall recieve a great gift from mata nui.,maybe mata nui build them.or they use some parts of bohrok

No, they don't really mean Mata Nui came and gave it to them. They mean it more like Mata Nui is their god, and commonly people regard great gift's as things from the gods. I think the Matoran probably each got pieces to use and they attached them onto themselves.

They say it was a gift from Mata-nui but even though he is asleep thay still see it as a gift!

I thout it whent like this:the motran always looked old(thats where I made my mistake)Now the bohrak come and bomb the place,the toa eventually defeat them.now the turaga are worriied so now they give the motran the new bodies(another mistake)

They rebuilt themselves , no Bohrok parts included , the
way the Matoran look now is the way they looked before Makuta came and put Mata-nui asleep . And now
that the Matoran are ready they were able tro rebuild them selves to what they once looked like under the
insruction of the Turga .

Isnt there a chance of Makuta turning them back to their(wimpy)form.actually there is a huge chance

Wow - I didn't think Makuta would be smart enough to change the matoran...but like Jala1435 said, if Makuta could change them once, he could probably easily do it again since it appears he is stronger now. He might actually be cabable of destroying all the matoran (of course, that won't happen).
