Interesting. Explains why he won't rot the weapons of the Nuva. He would win so easily if he rotted them. I just don't get how the matoran use the power of shadow, they turn evil. Light isn't what makes a Matoran good. The Makuta used shadow power when they were good. I don't envy Antroz's sense of honor, but its cool that he has one.

Interesting....I see that we finally have an honorable makuta

When it's said light, it doesn't mean light energy; it means the light side of a person, like the Force in Star Wars. They drain the light sides of the Matoran, leaving only their dark sides, effectively making them Shadow Matoran (Kra-Matoran, if you will).

Anyway, he sounds awesome. After knowing the Makuta of Metru Nui all these years, it seems really odd to see another of his kind with some semblance of honor. Vaguely reminds me of Dinobot from Beast Wars. Great character, Greg. Thanks!

Cool, a makuta with a sense of honor.

Antroz is pretty cool, since he has a sense of honor. He seems to have picked the wrong partner though - Radiak is almost the opposite of Antroz since he has no honor and leads his former friends into ambushes. I do have a question though: What is the point of having a mask that can break things down when he has his Makuta powers of Shattering and Disintegration to do that?

I've noticed something. Why did it seem unusual for a Makuta to have honor? Our favorite little Makuta actually let Vakama have a little year off in time trap, just like his side of the deal required, instead of attacking him and his friends when they were vulnerable. I don't believe it has to do with the mask of time either. There would have been PLENTY of opportunities to attack when Vakama did not have the mask of time at hand.

Also, are the makutas' abilites shut off? The mask of corruption matches the desintegration power, and the mask of hunger meets the power drain power. Why would the makuta need masks like that if their special abilities were still working?

Oh,Radiak.I like Antrox.

Makuta needed Vakama, the other turuga and the matoran to live, because, had he say, killed everyone on mata-nui, no one would be there to a] bring the toa mata to the island(takuas job), and b] tell the toa mata their destiny. Makuta wouldn't take that chance, he's not Icarax after all.

To bad for radiak- once a hero now he fights his friends, I feal sorry for him.

No, at least not the winter Makuta. Corruption is different from disintergration or shattering. Corruption (rotting) is slower and more eviler, while shattering and disintergration are about....Breaking stuff. Vamprah's Avsa can also drain positive emotions.

And thanks for the info Greg! It's awesome to have a Makuta with a sense of honor. And not cheating makes sense. I mean, if you win by cheating, you won't be happy as you didn't really win. But I can't imagine a Makuta with a sense of honor saying that quote and doing bad stuff. It just...doesn't fit his character.

Oh, and what does the quote really mean? Is Antroz saying that Toa are weak and he just uses them to train? Or does he think that Toa are a challenge and can help him sharpen his skills?

I don't think Toa can be made out of metal to sharpen Antroz's toys. Besides i think you need metal to sharpen things don't you?

Did any one noticed greg just said the name of the new nui? cause i haven't heard it 'till now. any way, i think antroz i awsome!

Woah! Awesome!

I am glad that Antroz doesn't belive in cheating, I love it when villains fight fair.

Cool, I really like these new characters,are Antroz and Radiak supposed to be one of those supper groups?

Thanks for the info Greg!

I can see Antroz with a code of honor. It would make his victories that much sweeter. The defeated can't whine that they were tricked or cheated and it doesn't leave them with hope that a second go around would end differently. When he beats them it is total and final.

One question that comes to mind: how much of each Makuta's personality gets picked up by their matoran supplicant?

Antroz is by far the coolest Makuta I have ever heard of. Without a second thought, I will buy him first. Thanks for all the info, Greg!

::Xora::

What are tridax?

How interesting: Antroz's mask power is corruption, and his partner is corrupted!

Radiak reminds me of other people.

Hmm... Kanohi Jutlin? *imagines Matoran punk band called the Jutlins*

I like that. especially the mask power of antroz's. seems to fit his personality.

Also, are the makutas' abilites shut off? The mask of corruption matches the desintegration power, and the mask of hunger meets the power drain power. Why would the makuta need masks like that if their special abilities were still working?

Well, the power drain that all Makuta possessed as their 42 rahkshi powers is only close range, and the Avsa works at long range aswell as short.

Nice Greg.

Makuta needed Vakama, the other turuga and the matoran to live, because, had he say, killed everyone on mata-nui, no one would be there to a] bring the toa mata to the island(takuas job), and b] tell the toa mata their destiny. Makuta wouldn't take that chance, he's not Icarax after all.

I thought Makuta didn't want the toa and matoran to find their destiny. Thats why he sent the rahi, so that they would be too harrased to learn of Metru Nui. Also, remember that he WANTED takua dead? Why would he want Takanuva to suddenly show the matoran their destiny, if he sent the Rahkshi to kill Takua? And my final problem is this: Why was Vakama needed? Even if he wanted the toa to know their destiny, he still could have settled his little vendetta with Vakama, and stolen the mask of time as well. The other turaga could have filled in.

Now THIS is why Makuta is one my favorite villains in fiction. He's definitely on my top ten (My favorite is "Jerry" from Sphere, or possibly El Patron from House of the Scorpion. Hal 9000 from 2001: Space Oddysey and Spoilers! Beth from Sphere ranks pretty high too. Grand Admiral Thrawn from Heir to the Empire is also on the list.). You will NEVER completely understand what he is thinking.
