Here is something I've been thinking about for a while: the ability for beings in the MU to form a Kaita. Let me explain. A Kaita has the combined strengths, powers, and knowledge of the three beings that merged to create him/her. Toa, Matoran, Turaga, Bohrok, Bohrok Kal, Bohrok Va, Rahkshi, and Makuta all have the ability to form a Kaita. But the thing is, Kaita were rarely formed in the storyline. We never saw Matoran, Turaga, Makuta, Bohrok, or Bohrok Va form a Kaita in canon. The only Toa who created Toa Kaita were the Toa Mata and later three of the Toa Nuva to create a Toa Nuva Kaita. Three of the Bohrok Kal formed a Kaita once, and was only to fight Wairuha Nuva when Lewa, Gali, and Kopaka merged into him. As for Rahkshi Kaita, two were only seen in one comic and defeated by three of the Toa Nuva. (Well, maybe 'defeated' isn't the best way to put it. More like 'caused them to return to their individual forms.') Now, I know that BS01 states that most beings didn't like to form Kaita because they were 'unwilling to submit to the process of losing their identities,' which I guess is a decent explanation as to why this ability wasn't used more often in the story. But it does make me question if the ability to form a Kaita should've been in the story at all. So now I ask you all. Do you think that the ability for Toa, Matoran and co. to form a Kaita should've been in the story at all? And if so, could you have liked to have seen this ability used more often in the storyline? And do you like this ability to begin with? To answer my own questions, I do like that the idea that they could create a Kaita, but its something that always stood out to me when it came to Bionicle's story. Even though I thought the concept was cool, I just didn't think it fitted that well into the story. Thus, I don't think it should've been in the story to begin with. Note: Before anyone says anything, I do know that the Toa Mata needed to merge into Wairuha and Akamai to defeat the Manas. But I think that part of the story could've been changed to where the Toa Mata simply worked together to beat them. But what do you guy think?
