Mask Continuity Issues


Recommended Posts

Why do Garan and Idris have great Ruru's, but Hafu has a powerless one? All three of them are Matoran, but the masks are different. This might have been because in 2004, TLG came out with a new Ruru mold, but that doesn't explain the differences. Anyone know? :kakama:

Powerless masks can be shaped as either Great or Noble. For example, Onewa wore a powerless Great Komau, which gained power upon his transformation into a Toa. Matoran can wear powered Kanohi, as seen with Jaller wearing Lhikan's Noble Hau.

 

There's no continuity issue. Powerless masks can be in any shape and it has no effect on the Matoran.

It's the beauty of Matoran masks. They can look like whatever the mask maker wanted them to, and their only function is to keep the matoran operational so to speak. It'd be an interesting plot twist if a matoran wore a mask that looked like a Hau, but in reality was a Miru or something like that haha...

Krakua wore a Mask of Telepathy shaped like a Mask of Shielding (the real-world reason was that it was a contest winner and the builder only had access to certain shapes). It's possible Krakua wore that mask as a Matoran.

And Norik's Great Pehuki was shaped like a Noble Kiril. About half of the Matoran on Mata Nui wore Great-shaped masks, whereas the Av-Matoran wore the Noble-shaped forms of those same masks. But all Matoran's masks, aside from Jaller's, are powerless.
