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

Just thought, did the GBs take into account the Red Star with their Marendar backup?

Yes, also the Rahkshii are wierd too, The Toa Nuva could onely defait six of them when they worked together but later in the story Matoro(The kingdom) downed 3 of them in just a few seconds

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.

Takanuva was the most deserving to become a Toa. And I think Helryx needs to become a Turaga. Team is a difficult choice, it's too easy to say the chroniclers company, or the Voya Nui resistance, and I wouldn't want a lot of them to become Toa either. I think Solek, Tanma, Garan, Dalu, Mazeka and Ahkmou would make an interesting and varied selection.Yes, Ahkmou.

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?

Mata Nui.We didn't know that he was until the end, but he was IMO.

I have to agree with Fishers on this one.(also, I'm surprised no one has tried to say Podu yet)- Vorex

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

That would be really cool if it was done. But, it would have had to be planned, as you say, and Makuta couldn't have been so entirely power-hungry, and Mata Nui couldn't have been so outlandishly good.

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.

It's possible, but it's questionable whether or not it would be lethal. Considering how good Matoran muscle seems to be at re-growing when needed, it's entirely possible that just cutting off the cancer tissue and waiting for the normal tissue to regrow would be enough, and then there would be no more cancer.

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.

The tubes were necessary or else the Nuva never would have fallen in. They wouldn't be standing atop an open pool. And comic illustrations are almost always the most canon except for confirmed errors.However, it's certainly possible it's both -- tubes that reach down into a pool that you could also access from outside the tubes in a cavern beneath the one the Bahrag were protocaged in.

I see now that his question says "pool." I thought he meant the tubes of EP the Nuva fell into; that's what I was talking about. Pretty sure they are two separate things. Maybe not though.

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.

1) Was there ever any explicit reason for the pool of Energized Protodermis in the Bahrag's chamber?

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.

The original Krana were created by the Great Beings from the remains of the process which created the first Matoran that had been made. They exposed the remains to Energized Protodermis. The mixture turned into not only Krana, but also Zyglak.The Bahrag were later taught how to create them on their own, and were given Energized Protodermis to dip an object into, which later becomes a Krana. A carving of this process was later inscribed on a tunnel above Metru Nui.

Well, you know how I've theorized before that the entire skin of the giant robot may have an airfield? That is, a forcefield that keeps air in, in case there's a hole while traveling through space. (But can't keep water out.)

Well, the Makuta may have been made of Antidermis, but they were never really meant to evolve into the "Spirit" form, as I like to call it, so wouldn't that mean that the whole thing was moot. Also, since the Golden Armor was meant as a safeguard against the darkness, This makes your theory make less sense. Also, as a side note, I don't think that Brutaka's species was the only one that can be posessed by Antidermis, but I assume it was the only one shown as of yet. Wonderful theory, though. But personally, I wouldn't want the Makuta to just evaporate and help improve the "cells" in Mata Nui, because that would make Teridax's whole plan pointless, and that would just stink.

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

Also, originally, the Makuta were not distributed one per dome; that only happened afer the Matoran Civil War. Since the Civil War was probably not foreseen by the Great Beings, they would have had no reason to expect the Makuta to ever be evenly distributed, much less at a certain time when evolution to gaseous antidermis would take place.

*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)

Insane, crazy, random flash-theory:

Orde learns the GB wants to kill powerful beings, and that's all he knows (I propose). He says GB must be stopped.Kestora turned evil/insane and must be stopped.Proposed assumption that the RS can reach any MU-originated being nearby, not just ones that are currently in the giant robot (no real reason it would have such a limit).GB kills powerful beings to send them to the Red Star.To band together to fight and overthrow the Kestora.So that they could takeover the only remaining hyperdrive system near Spherus Magna -- either sub-theory or fact, I forget which, that the RS as booster to hyperdrive could function as that on its own.So that the GB could then reveal as a good guy, and captain the RS to fly to the offworld place the other GBs have left to.I know it's crazy and maybe it must be totally false... but that would so rock...This would sort of "redeem" Velika as a good guy despite being the murderer, though probably most of them would not want to trust him ever again if so and might fight him at the end, I'd think. But his motives may have been pure in an highly risky insane way. Plus he may have in mind to stop the Kestora from murdering revived people if that theory is right, and maybe this was the only way, so he might even be hailed as a hero, albeit a disturbing one.Thoughts?

Also

Gali could always activate the Kaukau to choke her enemy,

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.

Unfortunately all of the Toa he created turned to the dark side and killed Takanuva. Muhahahahaha.
