Podu

I am more interested in how the Toa would survive his own Nova Blast if it was the former case. Just that he is a Toa doesn't mean he is immune to suffocation :/

I found it quite weird that Ancient called TSO "old man", considering the fact that TSO is younger than Ancient :/

1. It was said that there were somewhere in Metru Nui was a place where Matoran were created from as an explanation to the reproduction system of MU. Was that the place where the Red Star Revival teleport Matoran back?

The only Makuta who had been reverted back to organic form is Icarax, who is killed in a method that sends his atoms flying across the universe...So nope, no Makuta would be revived, at least not the ones we know of.

It would be funny if the Ignika used the Vahi as a guardian

Well, it will be either thata. Marender is so powerful that it can make the Toa beyond revival, or;b. The revival system will send the Toa back to MU, and the MU will porbably have something to prevent the Toa from escaping

But that was a story thing, not a set thing. It was decided in-story that only Rahkshi with specific missions (and I think the level of Kraata used has something to do with it, but I may be misremembering) are difficult to beat. Usually in the wild they are not so difficult because they're not so motivated. That had nothing to do with sets.You're right. The 6 Rahkshi encountered by Nuva were carriers of the Shadow Kraata, which are the highest level of all Kraata, granting them power levels on par with Makuta. The others are probably level 1 or 2 thus making them easy-peasy to defeat.IMO Tahu shouldn't be turned back into a Mata and with all the Golden Armour stuff. It is just... well, kinda redundant.

Oh no, you left out Balta! Now Balta/Dalu's relationship would just be like Macku and Hewkii...My Toa team selection would be Macku, Kapura, Garan, Mazeka, Ahkmou (Yes, totally him) and SolekAnd Garan would be the Leader as alwaysWould have added Vultraz so the Toa Team would have two potential traiters, but then we have Mazeka in the team so... Or, we can haveVultraz, Ahkmou, Galva, Vican, Nuhrii and Ehrye

Have you thought of it the other way round? Perhaps Mata Nui thought that such situations would happen and taught Gresh and the other guys Matoran?

I have to agree with Fishers on this one.(also, I'm surprised no one has tried to say Podu yet)- Vorex*cough*Podu*cough* I am actually gonna go with Vakama on this one. He has the most appearance I think (at least a minor appearance throughtout 2001-2008)

Due to a accidential misusage of his powers, Mata Nui not only turned Metus into a snake, but also granted him powers of his own sin - greed. With his newfound powers, the snake spreads the essence of greed in nearby cities. This caused a civil war between the Agori due to their enheightened avarice for money and power. Lesovikk V.S. Rahi Nui

Well, if you look it this way, Makuta was just fulfilling his destiny, while Mata Nui was almost completely ignorant of his people's status.

I suddenly realize that with this new information the Tryna and Mask of Undeath might be... a bit less useful than they were thought to be. I can imagine someone using the Tryna when the bodies suddenly disappear and a reanimated Mask of Undeath user got teleported in the middle of his tasks lol.

"Oh I have lung cancer. Let's cut off my chest and reconnects it like the Toa Mata did and let the tissue regrow..."Idk why but this idea amuses me.

I guess the problem with Kaita is that the Kaita has no memory of what goals the Toa had. The Kaita Mata was successful because the goal of the Toa Mata was obivious - scary monsters block the way, Kaita beats monsters, quick-win Toa-victory. Besides, forming Kaita requires time, something that Inika/Mahri lacked.In reply to the post above me, Mahri team was never affected by the Pit Mutagen. Their transformation is by Ignika.

Makuta beats them to it and now gains the trust of the Matoran and the Toa Mata. The Dark Age rises sooner than Teridax expected.The creation of Vezon.

Which would make sense. The Bahrag probably aren't destined to transform and can die from the EP. Perhaps the tubes are used as a safety precaution...

I said "pool," but as it turns out, I was indeed referring to the tubes. :PI actually wasn't aware that there were two separate EP sources. I could've sworn it was confirmed that Krana were created using some other unidentified liquid.EDIT: After checking BS01, I guess they do use EP to create Krana. Still, I meant the tubes. Hmm... I dunno then. I always thought that the Toa Nuva were exposed to a pool of Energized Protedermis... Or maybe, the tubes are just artistic license?

I was curious about this recently but I couldn't find clear info on BS01. I am pretty sure it was revealed at one point that it was a death trap. I forget who -- also, I think the Bahrag didn't know about it, but I'm probably wrong.I think it was the Order, intended as a death trap for those who aren't destined to transform, and operating on the assumption that anyone who is destined will not oppose Mata Nui's will, but not sure. It is on the Krana page. Pretty much sums it up nicely.

I'd like to note that, the Pit Mutagen is a form of energy released by energy sources such as Cordex, which explains the abudance of the Mutagen in Karda Nui and the Black Waters.

1. Where was it stated that they were never meant to be turned into "Spirit" form?2. It was to against solid Antidermis, which can be used against the Makuta before they became gas, or the Rahkshi/Kraata they create. I guess Mata Nui thought that the Makuta in gas form won't pose much threat despite having access to mental powers. Remember, Mata Nui could never expect that he was struck down when the Makuta turns into gas.3. There're probably more, but that just proves my point. 4. How does that make it pointless?

I am glad that I recieve so many positive feedbacks :PIt is a very hasty theory, one that just comes to mind when I read Destiny War at the part where the Antidermis reacted violently to Brutaka's pressence (or, at least, that is what it seemed to me)FYI, I didn't consider timing at all, so something might not make sense in regards of sequence of events Well it seems to be that MN saw to that the Matoran weren't behaving as they should, and thus prepared for this Antidermis thing to work by planting this thought into Miserix's mind.Edit: Apparently I won the Key to Nongu Award. Didn't notice it at the first time Thanks, bonesii!

*Not sure if this one has been suggested before, as I didn't search the old forum... So here's a list of facts related to Antidermis:1. They make Matoran suceptible to suggestions.2. The Makuta were made up of this substance.3. Brutaka's species, when taking in Antidermis (at least, in liquid/gaseous form), can become more powerful or even get "possessed" by the Antidermis.4. The Antidermis, like the Energized Protodermis, is sapient and apparently has some knowledge of Mata Nui's mission. My Theory: Mata Nui intended that the Makuta species would eventually "expires" and turn into the gaseous Antidermis, and for good reasons:A. Teridax, whose destiny is to control the other robot, can easily access to the robot's "mind", and;B. The "expiration" time of the Makuta would be an indication of that something went wrong for Mata Nui's mission and he is taking longer time than he originally thought he needed to accomplish his task(s), and thus needed a better "body" condition. And since his system is made up of Matoran as his "cells", he would need them to work harder. The Makuta, who were told by Miserix to oversee parts of MU, would turn into gaseous Antidermis (and lose their will) and since their armor wasn't designed to hold Antidermis, would eventually cause an Antidermis leak into the MU, thus infecting the Matoran. Brutaka's species would be infected as well, and would eventually get possessed by the Antidermis, who would then command the Matoran on how to improve their work as cells of MN.But what happened was that when the day the Makuta turned into the gaseous Antidermis, Mata Nui was taken down; as a result, MN cannot interfere even if the Makuta were to take actions to adapt to the changes and thus nothing happened (probably within Teridax's calculations).Now come and find holes in my theory (Edit: Fixed some typos)

Also Sorry if this is a little bit off-topic, but how exactly would she do that? If I remember correctly the Kaukau only allows the wearer (or nearby people in the Nuva form's case) to be able to breathe while submerged as if they were on land. Nuva version of Masks allows sharing of powers. Gali could create a water sphere around her head and use the Kaukau on her enemy...Back on the topic,It would be useful to keep those masks, Nuva or not, in case the armor broke and lost its adaptive powers....
