Toa Of Anarchy Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 So we all have are favorite, which of the Toa Mata's different appearances did you like best?Mine, when the Toa Mata were the Toa Mata. Something about the simplicity and the nostalgia make them seem so superior, although I am sure some of you will disagree. Quote BZPRPG CharactersWant to play all the Lego games?

Klanadack Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 I liked the original mata best, just something about how all the designs were so similar, but each unique...

Manterax Prime Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Does it have to be the Toa Mata? My favorite Toa, in terms appearance, were the Toa Metru and other Toa w/ that build (Lhikan and the Toa Hagah). Quote Tired of broken BIONICLE sets?

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I love the original Toa, but I think my favorite form has to be the Nuva. Between their armor and silver tools they just look much more heroic. The Toa Metru design comes in a close second. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LEGOLEGOLEGO1234 Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 I like the original appearance best. They look like retro action figures compared to the toa nuva and the other forms which looked more liked kids toys. Quote I CAN HAS PLATINUM AVOHKII???

Eyru Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 i've always loved the toa mata. their simplistic design combined unique, distinguishable features makes them easily the best. no other wave of sets had characters that looked so distinct from one another. i also like the phantoka, though: i thought they did a great job of updating the nuva, but keeping them looking like their original selves. it was a perfect combination of new and old. -jb Quote BRPG Forum Rules • BZPRPG Starter Topic • Q&A Compendium • SK:A Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSciFiGuy Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I do have to go with the Mata. The nuva though were really cool back in the day as you build them and put armor on them. I don't care as much for the adapted forms, and still imagine them as Nuva forms (except for Tahu) in the online serials.

hachiroku Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 Like everyone else say, I like the Toa Mata the best. Their simple mask and form looks good enough for me to like them so much.

Kalopsia Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Toa Mata were always the coolest. Toa Nuva were alright but they always just felt like add-ons instead of new sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Cup of Fail Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Mata: Tahu, Gali, Kopaka, PohatuNuva: Lewa, OnuaMy mostly favorite is the Mata and least favorite are the Phantoka/Mistika.Mata are really good sets, i love the gear in the sets (all but Pohatu) and the weapons as well. Plus i like classic stuff.Phantoka/Mistika are not that good, the silver was bad and i don't like the weapons and mask (but not Tahu). The thing i like is the theme of sky and swamp.

Hitoshura Posted November 28, 2013 Share Posted November 28, 2013 (edited) I liked the Mata, because their design was quite simple, but unique and original at the same time. Edited November 28, 2013 by Derpystar7 Quote profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avak5 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I'd say the Mata/Nuva form, though they are far from my favourite sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobaFett2 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Easily the Toa Mata form, for a few reasons. First is childhood nostalgia - I absolutely loved them as a kid, and I liked the Nuva too, but these hold more memories for me. Second is the design - the simplistic elemental-based design was great and made each one memorable. The Nuva Armor makes them all a little less distinguishable from each other. Third, I find the Karda Nui forms to be too strange. They're kind of cool, but not what I look for in a Toa. Quote The Legend Lives... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VBBN Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I always enjoyed the weapon integration that the Nuva had. Most of the weapons had a really neat secondary function, and maybe it was that simplicity that I enjoyed so much. Between them though it's hard to choose; But I can say for sure I enjoyed them a lot more than what we got in 2008. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narfoxousman Posted December 18, 2013 Share Posted December 18, 2013 I'm gonna have to go with the Nuva for most. I (sorry!) dislike the original Hau, hauever (get it?) love Tahu's Nuva Hau. It just looks so awesome, and double fire swords that become a lava surfboard? Awesome. Although I do prefer Lewa and Pohatu's mata maks, and Lewa's ax, the Nuve still win overall.

bionidude123 Posted December 22, 2013 Share Posted December 22, 2013 I like the nuva sets the most, the weapons that could be used for different things and the bigger kanohi along with armor , plus pohatu finally has weapons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovika: Visorak Lord Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 The first three years of Bionicle were just so mystical and surreal, and the first year of sets was so new and strange, and the Toa Mata perfectly displayed that feeling of adventure and fun we all felt. The Toa Nuva weren't all that special besides new masks, weapons, and armor. 1 Quote "In this new- Wait, why am I being quoted?!"-Kovika, Toa of Ice, Bread Enthusiast, and Ko-Metru Scholar.

meowmachine Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 I liked the stars best. While it was only Tahu as a set, if you pay close attention, you can notice the other toa were like that in stasis. I wish all the mata were made like that and I tried to make my own version of it but failed due to lack of pieces. Quote What do I write here?

~ShadowBolt~ Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 The Nuva were the best in my opinion.

Another thing is that i dislike the Nuva Mask but Lewa and Gali, there was good.

Fry Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 My favorite were always the Toa Mata. My favorite was Gali.

TechnicRage Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I don't know why everyone is bashing on the 2008 designs; I love every mask that came out, exception of Gali (too masculine), and the concepts were great. It might be that the Mata doesn't have the nostalgia charm on me like it has on other people (started liking Bionicle in 2006), but the sets were still good (especially Pohatu Mata). I'd have to say a close battle between the two, but not the Nuva. Masks were ugly and the silver armor was gimmicky, and were rehashed Mata.

While it was only Tahu as a set, if you pay close attention, you can notice the other toa were like that in stasis. I wish all the mata were made like that and I tried to make my own version of it but failed due to lack of pieces.Actually, the other Mata were only drawn in the Stars style for that image in order to promote the Stars sets, which were being released contemporary to the Mata Nui Saga on Bionicle.com. I'm pretty certain that you're referring to an image that originally appeared as part of the Mata Nui Saga. That said, the Toa Nuva versions were my favorites, though I liked Lewa in his Mata incarnation more than his Nuva form.

JAG18 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 The Mata had that "it" look, but I think I prefer the Nuva, because of their cooler weapons and armor. Kopaka was the coolest, but they were all great in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderus Prime Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 I like The Mata because Lewa was my first Toa Set,and than by Onua,Gali,both Pohatu and Tahu, finally Kopaka. I only got Pohatu and Gali Nuva.

Matoro Zeliph Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 For MOCing pieces, of course the Toa Mata. But storyline/look-wise, it would be the Toa Nuva. They look more heroic and "tuff."

TERIDAX941 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Tahu Nuva was the very first Toa I ever got, so Nuva are my official favs. Silver armor, really weird looking masks, they rocked. The Toa Mata would be a close second, just because of their original design, and that they were the very first, I get nostalgic every time I gland over those guys.
