If Ekimu does appear in a set, chances are high he won't be teal, but azure--if not trans light blue.

Teal is 100% dead. azure is where it's at now

Blasphemer.

Dang, just remembered this

Yah see they're so manly that handshaking is beneath them. Armshaking is the only manly substitute to handshaking.

Transparent Light Blue seems like the most color for Ekimu, considering that most of the bluish parts on his design are ones that exist in that color (the eyestalk, basic beams and shells, and the hammer which appears to be built from the "weapon barrel" piece. Besides that, the glowiness could be interpreted as visual shorthand for transparent parts.

Not sure what to think about Makuta, since if we were to get him as a set, there's no telling whether he'd be in this form. I think it'd be more likely for him to show up in the form he took after the Mask of Ultimate Power transformed him, which is a more typical villainous color scheme. But of course, I wouldn't complain about him showing up in this earlier form either. More Tr. Bright Bluish Violet shells and beams (or even a weapon barrel and an eyestalk) would be GRAND. Also, it'd be a shame not to get the Mask of Control in a set.

Based on the similarity of their torsos to protector torsos, I'm guessing they won't be very big.

That's how hand-shaking first came about- two people would "arm-shake" to check each others' right arm to make sure there wasn't a knife or something hidden up their sleeve. It would just evolve to become a formal greeting with hands. 

But clearly this means Mata-Nui is suspicious of the Makuta.

Ah, but that's what we said about Bionicle and Hero Factory, now isn't it?

I see, but I feel like the amount of detail that went into making them look like actual sets (the visible HF shells, etc.) might actually correspond (at least for the most part) to its actual set.

That'd be somewhat disappointing, considering it would mean Ekimu and Makuta would only be about the size of a Protector.

I personally wouldn't mind that. It'd be pretty unique to have the most important figures in the year not be giant imposing titans or whatever. Just villagers, like the others. Maybe the two could come bundled in a set together?
