Toa Talo

Granted, all the powers are useless like making cheese change colors.

I wish for a real lightsaber.

Granted. but the pillow is so large you suffocate in it.

I wish for toilet paper.

Granted. but the $20 is then stolen by a thief.

I wish to rule the world.

Granted. The wishes are used by other people.

I wish for a laser keyboard.

Granted. But not since moeh is not a word the trains are destroyed by spell check.

I wish for a computer that doesn't break.

Granted. But it destroys your computer preventing you from continuing to post here.

I wish for a chicken sandwich.

Your epic is good as in not being evil because it shows ways to fix bad things but is so horrible in quality that it has to be deleted

I wish I could rule the world.

1. Sensei Wu got the lesson book back in the episode Lloyd stole it, I don't think it will be appearing again I think it was just something the writers came up with to have Lloyd steal to show how he is still having trouble adjusting to being good and not evil anymore.

2. My guess it will be some sort of virus/infection thing that infects him and turns him evil like some kind of mind controlling nano-virus.

3. I believe that he can produce less electricity than that like a little zap or something instead of him just creating a giant blast of tons of watts.

4. I think Dareth should come back, though I doubt the ninja would be foolish enough to leave to army in Dareth's control that would be like in Star Wars they gave Jar Jar the controls for the Trade Federation droid army. Giving the command of an entire army. So I believe they probably destroyed it or at least hid it somewhere safe.

That was so hilariously awesome!! I can't wait to for it to come out it is really looking great.

My EARS!!!! That monstrosity should be destroyed.

My favorite would be the Hagah plasma cannon in hand-held form it's a giant plasma cannon and maybe the impact crystal launcher.

I tried to put glatorian Mata Nui and Tahu stars into my pool some parts of them turned white and some of the joints started to crack. I have also tried to put a lego rowboat into the tub and it capsized and sunk half way.

I agree I don't see it having really any story and the only thing interesting is the mini ball joints.

All hail the mighty Tuma!

About a deep storyline that would appeal to older fans I don't really think so. It really looks like something for kindergartners by the pictures.

Talo, the lightstones were charged with electricity to act as stunners for other types of beings.

Oh sorry I think I miss read the page on BS01 as them only effecting makuta instead of just being very affective.

So this comedy is dead, isn't how to be a hero dead too?

You may be grateful to know that I shall not (quite) be making as annoyingly a long post this time (relatively ). And no controversy! It's still a decently long read so prepare your 'tl;dr's.

 

As per usual, I'll start with some context before eventually presenting the NuvaTube inquiry.

 

 

The Spherus Magnans have displayed some very, very advanced technology, much of which is beyond scientific understanding (and probably always will be). More specifically, the Great Beings displayed this incredible technology, principally via the Mata Nui Robot’s systems.

If you think about it, we’re talkin’ about teleportation, large energy/mass exchanges, atomic control, space-time manipulation, graviton generation, practically limitless energy, advanced genetic expertise, radical nanotechnology, dimensional engineering, interstellar travel and so on and so forth. We could go on for eons.

 

So, what kind of weapons do the macro-tech workers of this hyper advanced system use? Apparently, swords and spears. What...no...that can’t be right...right?

 

I shall remedy the irritated look on your face by acknowledging weapons like Zamor/Rhotuka/Impact Crystal/Kanoka Launchers, which display interesting, advanced destructive abilities. I particularly like the Zamor Launchers’ ability to get past cover and effect targets without worrying about physical armour. My point is; I know they have advanced weapons.

 

There is the argument that just because humans can use heat-seeking missiles, it doesn’t suddenly mean that a big stick isn’t an effective weapon. Maybe this principle still applies to the MU/Glatorian? If that were the case, and swords are effective against MU inhabitants, I would expect something like a conventional firearm to be common too, and that long ranged combat would be the norm. The biggest reason that close quarters combat left warfare in human history was that it was usually pointless to carry a bothersome melee weapon when your enemies can just take you out in a few hits or less with a single weapon, at close and long range.

 

If we look at Toa, for example, we see that they almost always carry a melee weapon. Sure, I get that it focuses their Elemental Power, which has lots of ranged potential, whilst doubling up as a good close quarters option. I’m just wondering why there aren’t more weapons like Cordak Blasters and Lightstone rifles around, it would seem to me that they should be the norm, and then the more famous weapons were the specialist armaments.

 

It’s just, why do all the baddies (like the Dark Hunters) bother with close quarters fighting (I’ll include throwing fireballs from relatively short distance as close quarters, since it’s all done within a comfortable visual range), when they could just pick up a Lightstone rifle and snipe a group of Toa almost as easily as a group of Matoran.

 

As I have previously done, I’ll acknowledge the real word reasons. Namely: “swords-fights-are-always-more-epic” and “Guns don’t look as good in Lego and don’t really work as toy functions which are good selling points for kids’ toys”. But this is about trying to find in-canon rational.

 

The only real counter-argument I could think of was that Bionicle armour is generally too tough for bullets, but that completely breaks down if swords are still effective, so that can't be it. Even if Toa are far stronger than we realise I’m sure they can come up with ballistics that work just as well, if not better, and that such weapons would be highly pervasive. Of course, there are much more exotic weapons, as I said, but the question stands:

 

Where are all the guns?

Sniping toa with a lightstone rifle wouldn't do much anyways it is light based it would really hurt a makuta or someone else shadow aligned but not anyone else.

I read that the skrall found the swords from a cache of weapons they found maybe they also found the shields there.

This is awesome I miss LU so much this makes me so nostalgic.

Thanks for clearing this up.

I was randomly looking at matoran on Biosector01 when I saw that Midak's pakari looked different then other pakari masks so I checked other matoran, Nuparu had the normal pakari like the one Onua mata had but Nixie also had the same pakari design as Midak atleast in mnog 1. Is there a cause for this difference?

Wasn't there two Golden Kanohi for each Toa, Great and Noble?

No there was not.

Looks interesting I hope you can play as other races like the eagles, gorillas,etc. and maybe even the bad guys? Might try it if there is a FTP version.

So I noticed that the brains look a lot like some alien thing from the movie Aliens. Has anyone else noticed this.
