I dunno. 9 seems like a little much for me. The more heroes there are, the less challenging it seems for the heroes to win. I don't know, In 2008 it kinda bothered me that 7 toa were enough to go against 8 makuta when in 2001, 1 makuta was hard enough for themTrue, but I think they played it off well in the story with the Plan. But if they absolutely wanted to, the Makuta would have chewed them up and spit them out. They would have needed a lot more toa for it have been an all out fight. However, I doubt they would have such over powered villians again. 42 rahkshi powers plus shape shifting and limited reincarnation? No, that is way to many powers to poses as a canister set. But not enough for Omega Tahu...
