hmm... Mask of Possibilities makes stuff more likely or less likely to happen, yet I think it only concerns random events, and can't be used to "persuade" people to lose or die. It probably doesn't reach 100% either. Although disengaging from combat to ambush again is very useful, any sort of stealth attack would make this power useless (in combat), since you don't know when to escape. The Mask of Creation relies on having the materials at hand, so you couldn't create everything. The Mohtrek gives you random injuries from the future though, which maybe isn't worth it... The Olmak is VERY useful, but unless you painstakingly make an army of shadow takanuva, it's not unstoppable. The Avsa is useless against a being with no light energy. The Vahi would be amazingly overpowered, if it weren't so difficult to control. The Ignika curses people and messes stuff up for it's own entertainment, so using it would not be too good. If ultimate power is being in a coma, sure. The Mask of Tossing Stuff with your Mind? Just use any sort of stealth/speed power to out maneuvre them. The Tryna requires constant concentration to keep the corpses animated, so any distractions hinder its usage. *Uses Felnas on Kaukau Gali can now breath underwater infinitely? The Felnas depends too much on what you use it on, what if you have no powers? That's a really good point. Remember LoMN? One "Get Nidhiki" from Onewa, and suddenly the Dark Hunters that plagued them all movie are out of the picture. It IS surprising it never got used more often. Even the Noble form could control that giant Nui-Rama thing in the MNOG (did that ever get an official name? Typing "Giant Nui-Rama Thing" into BS01 didn't show any results ) Lewa0111 Nuva Komau is useless against robots. The Kakama basically offers intangibility as well, allowing the user to evade any physical object, as long as they expect it. The counters for this are the Felnas, any non-physical attack, or something unexpected. Umm.... so the most over powered mask probably is... uhhh.... the Huna or Volitak, since stealth and ambushing seem to be pretty useful in a universe full of weird and wonderful powers. Of course, they have their weaknesses, but you'd have to prepare to detect them efficiently.

The problem with a kraata is that it would morph into a rahkshi component over time, meaning you end up with a lump of protodermis for a pet.

Maybe protodermis is an element, but can easily change it's protons, electrons, etc. and therefore its electronegativity, intermolecular forces, etc. with ease, allowing it to take on almost any form. A bit of a leap, but it could work. Well all elements can change states. Protodermis, like all other elements, has a solid state, a liquid state, and presumably a gas state. However, while atoms regularly gain and lose electrons, protons cannot be lost or gained without changing the element to a completely different one. (Hydrogen has only one proton, if it were to somehow gain a proton, it would become Helium). The fact that it can be shaped into any form is not really a problem, since liquid protodermis is just poured into molds and solidifies to that shape (i.e maskmaking) As for electronegativity, protodermis would simply have to be an element that has a charge in its most stable ion/isotope, either positive or negative. This can be changed simply by gaining or losing electrons, which, as I stated before, is a natural and common process. It's certainly (theoretically) possible (except for energised protodermis), it's just we haven't seen any real substance that behaves like it. My point with the protons thing is that maybe proton removal or addition is easier than in our universe, and so under our definition of an element, protodermis can change element, which is how it constitutes everything in the MU.

Instead of islands, we have planets in our MU! And each one has a codrex on it! I mean, can't you see the giant humanoid shape they form?

It's a question of whether the body or the mind determines if Velika can become a toa. I'm going to say yes, as long as Velika (matoran ) was destined to become a toa, because Velika (great being) probably can't. It would depend on whether it's just "possession" Velika's body, or he shape-shifted into a matoran (the possession idea feels more likely).

There was huge number of bohrok on Mata Nui, and they still planned and strategised. Well, we're here for the storyline in "Bionicle Storyline & Theories". Good point, I was comparing them to Bohrok because of the face attachment thingy, but you may be right.

No... because the great spirit would have died, and Teridax would find himself ruling over a corpse. I think they would be transformed into more bohrok (or can only av-matoran do this?). If that isn't possible, they'd be kept as a part of the swarm.

Wasn't the golden spined skakdi a part of Skakdi folklore? And never actually existed?

They'd clean up the world and then go back to sleep.

I'm pretty sure lightning ISN'T plasma, but it CREATES plasma around it by super-heating the air. I like the sci-fi-ness of them, just having fire earth water air makes it too unoriginal.

How about: Fire - Plasma (because it's super heated gas) Air - The Green (because Lewa and jungles, you know) Water - Lightning (rain and storms?) Ice - Psionics (ice types being intellectually based) Earth - Gravity Stone - Iron Reminds me of when the toa mata fought the avohkah. I think glass should remain a combination of sand and fire.

Consciousness is different to being alive, but yes, I imagine they would have personality, though may be rather unintelligent (the Ignika wasn't exactly a genius). I guess it might have a similar personality to the Ignika because they are both masks. But then again two humans don't have the same personality and they're both human. I'm thinking yes, they would have limited control over their own powers. This has been demonstrated by the Avohkii when it shone at who was destined to wear it (unless the Mask of Light film is non-canon?). I love the idea, but it shouldn't over used if it were ever possibly implemented. Maybe one or two masks that the Ignika "blesses" but regrets it after because they go insane/depressed/eternal pain/etc.

There was quite a lot of humour in Gen 1, Vezon made me laugh a lot. So did Matau.

Yeah they are, in fact they're more like zit cream than antibodies. What if... There were multiple bohrok nests scattered throughout the MU? Was it confirmed that all those Av-matoran went to Mata Nui's face? If this is true, it could be that the bohrok were an antibody system...

I'd disagree with most people here, and say as fast as you can move on ground. So basically running speed, but that would tire you out faster than walking speed. I say this because fling with a kadin is very different to flying in a plane. In a plane, you require a runway to take off and land, and cannot fly vertically (without nose diving or pulling up) or sideways (without turning), but you can fly much faster than rolling along on the ground. I imagine a kadin allows you to float in any direction, as fast as you would be able to as if moving on ground. You could argue that running isn't as efficient as hovering, and therefore you can fly faster for less energy than running faster, but energy is constantly being drained keeping the user afloat, cancelling it out.

Yeah, I'm sure Brutaka has those stubs on his back, but I don't think they're arms. Probably just a way of buffing his lower body.

Tahu is an octopus? An octopus? What? How... Genius. Beats comparing it to WH40K.

All the Matoran forgot about Metru Nui, and that Karzahni was real, so it's feasible that they'd need to go to school to learn the stuff they keep forgetting.

Sound and kinetics are only similar on the scale of particles, which Bionicle rarely, if not never, mentions. Furthermore, you could argue heat, and therefore fire, is just vibrations of particles within matter, giving a Toa of kinetics yet another power. Gravity is only ever used as the attraction of planets or moons in Bionicle, and even though everything with mass has gravity, it cannot be used horizontally.

I've tried with my friends, and it's hilarious because they can't remember any of the names (and they've only seen Web of Shadows) Keetongu - Golden epic guy Rahaga - Fly-grandpas Visorak - Spiders Teridax's protodermis prison - Red ice cube Roodaka - Evil woman Chicken people!!! What a fantastic name for them!!!

I remember some sort of ice-hockey sets that used these.

Sheer embarrassment and hero factory pieces are putting me off the sets. However, I can read the storyline in relative discretion.

In reception (before year 1), a friend bought a red bohrok to school. I got a white bohrok later that week and I was hooked.

Rahkshi spines. Why did I buy so many Rahkshi???
