Olim - Hunchback of Notre Dame

more simply put, stay away from this guy I kid

Tahu for me. Pohatu was my first set but Tahu is the first character I read about (chronicles 1), and I just love the element of fire. It can do so much, and is just one raw source of energy to use. You can incinerate your enemy, or you can engulf him in flames without touching him until he passes out. Lethal or non-lethal. (Safe to say I wouldn't make a good Toa - I would kill to often)

and I thought VN was supposed to be only about 37 miles wide?

Ok, so you know The famous map of the MU? The one that's in all blue lines? Well, look at voya nui there and look at voya nui itself. It looks fatter in the map.What's up with that? And how big is voya nui on the surface?

Thanks a lot, I wasn't expecting such a positive feedback!

Well, I kinda hope the Toa Nuva never go Turaga...

Yes, bonesii, I have had that thought. Cold is just heat being absorbed, so would Tahu be very cold bc he is always emitting heat, and Kopaka be warm bc his element is the element of heat absorbing?

Heh... another question by who would have guessed? Your's truly... Anyways, I was wondering why some Toa aren't Turaga. The Toa Nuva awakened the MU, so why didn't they become Turaga? The Mahri revived the MU, so why didn;t they transform? Is it possible that Toa who were never Matoran can't become Turaga? Or that the Nuva state prevents that from happening? That still leaves the Mahri. It is even said they were created solely bc the Nuva were defeated, the red star activated a failsafe. So yeah, any ideas?

As soon as I read the starting post on this thread by Omega12, I thought that. Then I read your post and was all THAT'S WHAT I WAS THINKING!

Don't get me wrong, I don't think a Toa can go head to head with a Makuta and be EXPECTED to win. But I really don't think it is that far fetched to see a Toa win (not just the Fa, De, and Fe Toa, but maybe a Toa of Water, or a Toa of Earth) every now and then.

I know that they can manipulate existing plasma. Creating your element comes with the powers I believe.

Toa Nuva have a more limited range on their neck movement.

It's interesting. I was never this interested in Bionicle until it ended.

What purpose did the element of Shadow have when the GB's created the Matoran?

well actually, that would be like asking a Tahnok to incinerate a Toa in one shot. The Makuta have 42 powers, but limited ranges of all of them. They are not particularly menacing with any one of their elements, but the combination of the 43 (mask + elements, lets not forget that shadow is one of their rahkshi powers TN05) is what gives them the edge. And incinerating them with plasma might seem possible, but its not very hard to avoid. A Toa of water could thrust a wall of water in front of it that would weaken it so much as to make it too cool to be plasma. A Toa of Ice could do the same, Toa of Stone, Earth... Toa of Plasma could just redirect the blast. Toa of Fire could drain the beam of its heat. What really might pose a threat would be the magnetism and gravity. They couldn't hit em with enough magnetism to flatten them, but they could pin them while they go to slice their heads off. Sonics is one of those too. But deafening the Toa with one huge blast? The Kohrak-Kal exerted what seemed to be a large amount of energy on Lewa Nuva, and defeated him, but did not damage his hearing. The Makuta have even a less great power of Sonics than a Kohrak Kal (as a Kohrak-Kal is described by Greg as having a wide range of sonic powers. Makuta are described as having a very limited manipulation over their Rahkshi powers, save shadow). They could stun the Toa with a power scream, but not blow out their ears. Fear could also stun a Toa. Actually, fear could arguably kill a novice Toa. But fear isn't a physical force, and a well meditated Toa could overcome it. Let's see... what else... Well, anyways, my point is that Makuta may have an advantage through their array of powers, but they have only a mediocre control over their powers.

So then wouldn't a Toa of Fire pose a particular threat to the Makuta, if his bolts of Fire could cut open their armor and make them leak? (We saw that happen in The Final Battle, Antroz got hit by a beam of... was it ice? I dont remember what element hit him, but it cut him open, but it didnt take him out of the fight that long.)

Placeholders?

The eyes in LOMN kinda hinted too.

Well Tahu already had heat vision without the Rahkshi , right? I read someone say it was already an ability of the element of fire (which is really just the element of heat)?

Im probably a 6 or 7, but the serials are where I start to falter.

oh i think i know why. Ill get it back up tomorrow. Told'a i would get em!

but six Makuta?

Well, I have devised a way to mobilize a Tohunga for a stop motion. But they aren't really tohunga anymore.

They're plan was also to defeat the Toa and unlock it themselves. They could have done it much more certainly than hoping the Toa would do it.
