Makuta Matata

They can probably use Heat Vision on their own armor to weld it back together. Or something like that. Maybe Laser Vision.

They basically serve the same purpose as animals do in our world. They're important to the ecosystem. Well most of them, anyway.

I'm pretty sure they knew their names and their basic functions, such as the fact that they need a mask and that they are Matoran and such. They lost their memories rather than what's been ingrained into their minds.

Yeah, I feel like the Bohrok and Bohrok-Kal have more energy in them, but they have limited powers, like only being able to destroy and not being able to do what a Toa can.

^this^ Plus they were my favorite species now they're just annoying and leaves me wondering why they didn't take over the universe earlier. That's exactly what Icarax was wondering. And what I was wondering about Icarax. Although I don't think the Makuta were made cheap.by the Karda Nui Story. Yeah, the Karda Nui story evened out the odds between the Makuta and Toa Nuva. That, and the Toa Nuva had Ignika. Who overpowers everybody. Too bad he didn't know what he was doing half the time. And the fact that he was still a newbie was the Ignika's handicap, basically.

The Makuta in general. They have all 42 Rahkshi powers as well as shadow. That's a bit unfair, if you ask me.

Even though the official Bionicle websites might be taken down, Bionicle's legacy will live on forever in our hearts. Edit: I am crying.

I don't know if that works both ways. I know light-removal can cause shadow, but I don't know if Shadow can pull a light trick.You're probably right about that, but elements like fire can make ice, lightning can make magnetism, etc.

Some elements can also counteract one another, such as light and shadow. If all the light in the area is removed, shadow is left. So someone with light or shadow powers could theoretically use both. Like Alternate Teridax did.

There was probably one way in, but an easier way out that Halhi found. I guess she just improvised.

I don't think the eye colors are canon.

I feel like a lot of it was just for effect. Takutanuva opens the door, revives Jaller, the door crashes down, Mask of Light comes out, Takanuva is (somehow) revived, and Makuta is temporarily vanquished. None of that could have happened if it was Onua doing it, right?

I think that you could body slam someone with the shield as an offensive move, but that would probably be the extent of it.

Originally they were not made of pure Antidermis energy. Originally they were completely biomechanical as any other being in the Matoran Universe. I think it was Chirox who came up with the idea of transforming their bodies into energy, wasn' it...? EDIT: They were actually always brought to life from Antidermis, I think, but they didn't become the beings of pure energy that we know before later. Here's a quote on the evolution into pure energy, from BS01: Originally biomechanical, the Makuta race eventually evolved to a state of pure energy, in which they no longer had to eat, sleep, breathe, or could feel pain. This evolution was first noticed by Bitil, and Chirox learned by examining a sample of Kojol's essence what had happened to them. Teridax ordered the Nynrah Ghosts to assist them by modifying their new armor. Soon after, the Makuta made a collective decision to shun their inner light, becoming true creatures of shadow. Due to the threat posed to their new armor by Toa of Iron and Magnetism, Makuta began monitoring Matoran populations of those elements, and employed several Iron and Magnetism Toa in their guardian Toa Hagah teams, in order to keep them in check." Perhaps it was actually a natural part of a Makuta's life cycle? Well what I'm saying is that since they're made of Antidermis, they can't have a default form besides pure Antidermis. This question means their default form before they were living suits of armor, and before they shapeshifted at all. What they were when they were first born. Well for that, we won't know, because the current suits of armor are designed to hold Antidermis, not organs and stuff. So if there was one, it's something we haven't seen before.

I don't think there is a normal form because they are all gaseous beings in suits of armor, so the armor can vary. I don't think there is any default one.

A Toa's first duty is to protect the Matoran. Since these were his own people, he felt a strong need to protect them from the shadow, even if it meant Mata Nui not awakening.

Do you mean TSO? No. I mean in the serial (I can't remember the name) where he;s leading the Hagah beneath the Coliseum.

I've heard from somewhere on this website that all Matoran, when created, were in the form of Metru Nui Matoran or Mahri Nui Matoran.

I heard a theory that his special power (like Thok's animation or Reidak's adaption) is that he can resist being split apart, so that whatever he was split into could have it's own sentience and be controlled by Zaktan. If he was split in two, he could have lived as two halves, like giant Protodites, only not Protodites. That would explain why he was split into Protodites and why he didn't die when Makuta shot him, for lack of a better term.

I think that they eat both...
