Onu-Matoran represent the element of Earth and come in shades of black, gray, purple, orange, and tan. Onu-Matoran also contain a very minuscule amount of elemental Earth energy, to the extent that they are able to sense vibrations in the ground and have excellent night vision. They are also physically stronger than other Elemental Types of Matoran. Almost all Matoran, Toa, and Turaga of Earth are male.

"Almost all...":wince:Anyway, it looks like the reference has failed us slightly - and it could be argued the opposite way. Onu-Matoran became sensitive over time to ground vibrations to warn them of Rahi attacks. Time to go to the OGD...

Toa Mata Tahu (a Toa Mata of typical height) is about 21.5 modules (17.2 centimeters or 6 and 23/32 inches) tall. Without his mask he is 1 module (8 millimeters or 5/16 of an inch) shorter. If his knee joints could be straightened, he would be half a module (4 millimeters or 5/32 of an inch) taller.Kopaka Nuva (a Toa Nuva of typical height) is about 22.5 modules (18 centimeters or 7 and 1/32 inches) tall. Without his mask he is about 1 module shorter. If his knee joints could be straightened, he would be half a module taller.Toa Metru Nuju and Nokama are 26 modules (20.8 centimeters or 8 and 1/8 inches) tall. Toa Metru Whenua, Vakama, Matau, and Onewa are 25 modules (20 centimeters or 7 and 13/16 inches) tall. All of them are about one module shorter without their masks. Toa Lhikan and Toa Norik are both the same height as Nuju and Nokama, while Toa Iruini is 27 modules (21.6 centimeters or 8 and 7/16 inches) tall.Piraka Hakann, Vezok, and Reidak are 25.5 modules (20.4 centimeters or 8 and 31/32 inches) tall, not counting their spines. Piraka Zaktan, Avak, and Reidak are 26.5 modules (21.2 centimeters or 8 and 9/32 inches) tall, not counting their spines.Toa Inika are all 28 modules (22.4 centimeters or 8.75 inches) tall, not counting the spines on Toa Inika Nuparu's mask. They are all one-half a module shorter than this without their masks.Toa Mahri vary wildly in height, even moreso than the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva. Toa Mahri Kongu is 21.5 modules tall, one-half a module shorter without his mask. Toa Mahri Jaller and Toa Mahri Nuparu are both about 28 modules tall, one module shorter without his mask. Toa Mahri Hewkii is 22.5 modules tall (not counting the spine on his head or his shoulder spikes), one-half a module shorter without his mask. Toa Mahri Hahli is about 26.5 modules tall, and about one-and-a-half modules (12 millimeters or about 15/32 of an inch) shorter without her mask. Toa Mahri Matoro is about 25 modules tall, and about one module shorter without his mask.Phantoka Toa Kopaka and Phantoka Toa Lewa are both about 28 modules tall, one module shorter when maskless. Phantoka Toa Pohatu is about 22.5 modules tall, one-half a module shorter when maskless.Antroz is about 30 modules (24 centimeters or 9 and 3/8 inches) tall, one module shorter when maskless. Vamprah is about 26 modules tall, one module shorter when maskless. Chirox is about 31 modules (24.8 centimeters or about 9 and 11/16 inches) tall, two modules (16 millimeters or about 5/8 of an inch) shorter when maskless.Mistika Toa Gali is about 25 modules tall, not counting the wings on her mask, and one module shorter without her mask. Mistika Toa is about 26 modules tall, not counting the fin on his mask, and one module shorter without his mask. Mistika Toa Onua is about 28 modules tall, and one module shorter without his mask.Krika's height is difficult to measure, but at his tallest he is about 32 modules (25.6 centimeters or about 10 inches) tall. If his legs could be straightened, two modules could be added to his height. Gorast likewise has a lot of flexibility that makes measurement difficult, but at her tallest she is about 25 modules tall. If her legs could be straightened completely, two modules could be added to her height. Bitil at his tallest is about 29.5 modules (23.6 centimeters or 9 and 7/32 inches).Not sure what you need to know these heights for, but I hope this helps!

So there have been some pretty amazing mask powers in Bionicle history. There have also been some awful ones.Take Whenua for example. His mask can glow in the dark, big whoop. The other Toa could get the same effect by taping torches to their masks.What do you think is the worse mask power?

Yeh. Nupuru always reminded me more of a Ko-Matoran. Like how he was really clever and could fix stuff.

Right now I have the three cogs(at least on my screen) I just wondered if I can change this as I have seen people with Toa Mata masks and things like that.Thank to any one that can answer this.

As fishers said in another topic, Sam, that misconception (which is pretty common) came from Onua having the Mask of Strength. But if you think about it, the fact that he needed a mask to be strong argues against innate strength, not for it. Po-Matoran need greater physical strength to lift rocks; Onu-Matoran don't need that to dig, but they do need to see well in dim light.Also, the Toa Mata were built specially and were never Matoran, so what they are like is not necessarily relevant.

Well, I think a Toa of Earth would be stronger than a Po-Matoran, yes. But stone types are naturally strong. I think Onu-Matoran tend to be strong too, but not as much as Po-Matoran. Maybe, in the case of the Onu-Matoran, it depends on the nature of their work -- the Onu-Matoran miners might have grown stronger since they were archivists, for example.

What could the po and onu matorans do?

Po-Matoran have greater strength, and Onu-Matoran can see better in dim light.

What could the po and onu matorans do?

IMO not many major characters had fully developed their characteristics. If only every year wouldn't have dozens of characters swarming into the story (That is excluding fanon and serials...)

Well, well, well. Look at what I just found: http://www.bzpower.c...dpost&p=3683619

1. If, theoretically, Noble Kanohi existed, would a Turaga Nuva still be able to share his mask powers?1) If the Toa Nuva become Turaga, then yes, they would wear Noble Kanohi Nuva and be able to share powers.

I'm pretty sure Tahu will get a Noble Hau because the "Nuva" part is there to show that the powers of the mask has increased and a Noble Mask is a mask that doesn't have as much power as a normal Kanohi Mask because that Toa gave up their powers for something. If you're giving up power, you're probably also giving up your "Nuva" power thus you get a Noble Hau. That's what I think.

Ill use an example of Tahu here.Would Tahu get a Noble Hau(Im guessing will look very similar to the great Hau)Or would he get a Noble Hau Nuva?

It's been about two weeks since June 6, when he said they would arrive. Also, I didn't see any of the videos of these sets on his channel. Hmm...Anyway, if the Bionicles arrived, and if the sets were in the condition described, then congratulations on that awesome find !

Maybe he forgot to report in here or isn't a frequent poster. Give him time.

I think he means the set's actual height, not the character.

I know the Matoran wouldn't be completely like OUR children. If that was the case, mo work would be done. But there is defiantly a child like element to them.

Yes. But then there are usually childlike qualities to everybody, including the oldest humans, or Turaga, etc. I'm thinking Matau's tendency to play practical jokes as a Turaga for example.

However, on Metru-Nui, the Toa and matoran seemed to be in a more parent/child relationship. Although matoran are not literally children, on Metru-Nui they relied on the Toa (and Vahki, but the Vahki aren't much for conversation) for protection. They did not have to worry about fending for themselves,

While that's true, and I agree that on Mata Nui they had to "grow up fast" in that way due to the Rahi, let's keep in mind they spent thousands of years working, and working hard, in Metru Nui. It still doesn't seem much like children to me. More like industrial workers. Unless we want to see it as child labor lol.Also, Lhikan/Vakama would probably look like citizen to hero to us if Vakama wasn't smaller.

I always imagined them the size of an average tall human. Maybe 6.2.

One thing that you have to keep in mind is that the matoran of Mata-Nui had to survive a thousand years of rahi attacks completely on their own. At the point that the Toa-Mata arrived, they were in many ways more mature than the Toa. However, on Metru-Nui, the Toa and matoran seemed to be in a more parent/child relationship. Although matoran are not literally children, on Metru-Nui they relied on the Toa (and Vahki, but the Vahki aren't much for conversation) for protection. They did not have to worry about fending for themselves, and in many ways served as the child's role in a parent/child relationship. Look at the Vakama/Lhikan relationship for example. Lhikan was a father figure to Vakama, and when Vakama was on his own he was lost.Viewed through this lens, LoMN is really a coming-of-age story. Vakama starts as a child (matoran) and becomes a toa, but is still unsure of himself, which parallels with the adolescent stage of human development. Eventually, Vakama grows and finally becomes an adult (toa) when he uses the mask of time to defeat Makuta.In that sense the matoran were "children", but on Mata-Nui they aren't because they were forced to "grow up" emotionally, although they were "biologically" adult the entire time.-don't touch my pocket protector

My fave character was Takeshi, but I always wondered why Hitomi had Goku's hair.

The spiky black hair was actually used even before Hitomi for an unnamed character (nicknamed "Genki" by some fans) in the set 7706 Mobile Defense Tank from the year 2006. That hair is a nice piece, since there are a lot of LEGO themes where the brightly-colored hair of most characters would stick out like a sore thumb.

I thought Hitomi had Hikarus hair.

Yes, but when that piece is colored black, it looks like Goku's hair.

Hey can any really nice helpful person give me the height for all of these setsToa MataToa NuvaToa MetruPirakaMahriInikaMistikaPhantokaA massive thanks to any one that can do this for meEDIT: I mean set size.

Canonically Hewkii and Macku would still be close friends; they couldn't exactly chitchat while he was off saving the world, though, and now he's controlled by the golden being. His physical size has nothing to do with their friendship or not, but if they were both living in New Atero I imagine their friendship wouldn't be what it was because she would have a hard time relating to his new life as a hero.Also, seeing them as romantically involved, although that's not canon, wouldn't argue for Matoran being children. Adults have romantic relationships.If that had been canon, then considering only psychological romance is possible, him being a Toa might be awkward but it would simply be like a short adult loving a tall adult.

I dont know. Probably all the ones I have on my IpodCaught up in a dreamWhat it take to be a HeroCloser to the truthCreeps from the deepGrav hurtsFace me.

As for calling each other "brother" or "sister", the meaning is more like "ally" or "comrade" as people working together towards the same purpose. Hence Lhikan's indignation at being called 'brother" by Nidhiki.

I recall that the references to Mata Nui and Makuta calling each other "brothers" was because of the common goal they supposedly had.As for the question, I agree with bonesiii on this. I remember that everyone was surprised at how "juvenile" Jaller and Takua were protrayed in MoL, with the cheesy lines. MNOLG Matoran were more realistic - tough little hardy survivors on an island for 1,000 years, defending themselves against wild animals and engaging in "adult" occupations such as weaving, boat piloting, mining, carving beautiful sculptures, and so on. Definitely not kids. They did play kolhii, but adults do engage in sports (football, for example - I don't care which type you're thinking of).Later, we saw them teaching, forging stuff, piloting aircraft... Not kiddy. It's just a movie personality myth that's easily busted. And even the Toa sounded a bit immature in the movies, anyway, so I don't think even the movies wanted to make the Matoran out as children and Toa as adults, rather to dumb down everybody to the age of the younger children watching.
