Banana Gunz Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I actually am not a fan of the Chroniclers Company being toa. I like having a team of matoran fighting for what's right. You don't have to be a toa to be a hero... for some reason that quote just sticks so well. It really is the best thing to come out of 2006. 1 Quote tumblr: it's a lovely place to be if you've gone madflickr: mah yummy gross pics mmmPew Pew Pew Pew Pew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kovika: Visorak Lord Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Kopeke, although Matoro seems nearly irreplacable, we need another Ko-Koroan on the team.

toa kopaka4372 Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 I don't think anyone would really work, and I would rather no one did. I like the idea of a Toa Team with a permanent vacancy. But if there had to be one, I think Takanuva would be the only choice. 1 Quote Credit goes to Linus Van Pelt (Formerly known as Cherixon) and Spectral Avohkii EnterprisesMy Memoirs of the Dead entry, Reflectons:http://www.bzpower.com/board/index.php?showtopic=7351 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nidhiki of the Shadows Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I would like to see Onepu or Macku as a Toa but Kopeke makes the most sense, cause they are missing a Toa of Ice. So I chose Kopeke. -NotS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TERIDAX941 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Methinks they need to honor Matoro and not have a replacement. Takanuva could possibly be an honorary member, but he technically is already an honorary member of the Nuva, so we'd see how well that'd work out. But I don't feel like there should be a replacement personally. Quote Formerly Iron_Man5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

25K Now! Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Nobody can replace Matoro. Doubt the team would be very comfortable with doing so, either. Best guess, they'd drag along Takanuva (or he drags himself along with them). Quote http://vimeo.com/198967785 BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ektris Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Nobody needs to. It would just be a disservice to Matoro and his sacrifice to simply replace him. It'd be one thing if there was a need to fill his role, but methinks they'll be just fine as a group of five. ~|ET|~ 1 Quote E-T... Phone home. "He walks among us, but he is not one of us."

Cambion Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) everyone's talking about Takanuva replacing Matoro, but honestly i don't even see Takanuva as part of the Toa Nuva anymore - he's really more of a freelance Toa; kind of his own thing now. if he ever did join the Mahri it likely wouldn't be as an official member.

Adventurer Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 My thoughts:No one - it doesn't feel right to add a non-Mahri member to the Mahri unless there was some urgent need I feel. Kopeke - if you had to pick a replacement for Matoro, Kopeke would be the natural choice however.Takanuva - would be a good choice in that he could "unofficially" complete the team so not be a Mahri, but also still give them their full six nicely with little hassle.

Dralcax Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 My OCD tells me it should be Kopeke because Ice, but realistically, Takanuva would be the one to join them. In the end, however, that empty spot on the team should be left unoccupied to honor Matoro. It would be kind of mean to just replace him like that.

Mailli Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 Can we have at least one toa team WITHOUT 6 toa? There was the toa mangai, but we don't know half of their names.Plus, does Matoro need to be replaced? Toa are meant to be almost all gone (from over 400 to less than 40).If anything, a toa of lightning should join them to keep up the lightning theme with the inika.

Kyori Posted September 20, 2014 Share Posted September 20, 2014 I think the spot should stay vacant for reasons everyone else on this end brought up. But I would really like to see dear old Taka working with them again in a more unofficial sense. I just miss their old dynamics (and the classic Takua personality that got faded out of the story in 2008).

Heheh, yeah, I found that out when I finally had time to check BS01 again yesterday, oops. (and the classic Takua personality that got faded out of the story in 2008). It would rather break believability if Takanuva didn't change with his experience.I mean, people mature-up when stuff happens right? I know, but I'd expect at least some baseline stuff sticks around. In fact, I do like that maturation that happened to him as someone who's naturally fond of character development. It's just that we weren't shown much, if any, of his more light-hearted side after the shadow leech business. Actually, the last time we were ever shown his sweeter nature was 2006. I get trauma can change a person, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't usually make you turn a complete 180; that only happens in fiction. Oh wait... Granted, the situations he got dropped in both literally and figuratively didn't exactly call for much besides seriousness, but come on, the Toa Nuva had at least a few lighter moments in Karda Nui, not to mention they saw more action in the main story even when their sets were no longer relevant at the time (*cough* first half of 2006 *cough*). Bluh, I think I'm just annoyed even after all these years about how little of Takanuva we get to see (especially how we were never shown how Solek reacts to him, I mean, come on! why even mention they were best friends if you weren't planning to show even a second of reunion?), which is understandable given the sheer volume of characters. I guess that's my one real regret about the serial's discontinument; there is literally no chance of us seeing any more post-war Taka. I would have loved to see the "insatiable curiosity" aspect of him again in addition to how he'd interact with the Glatorian and Agori. Oh well, I'm just gonna hope that regardless what 2015 holds, we get more fleshing out for him, reboot or otherwise.

Makuta_of_Oz Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I think Takanuva would do well as the new white Toa Mahri, to replace the white Toa who died.

Kaxix Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Takanuva. Simply because he is a part of the same "generation" of the Inika/Mahri. Also he's white too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomegranate Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Macku so she and Hewkii could be together all the time again, 'cause I'm pathetic and I care about that, and 'cause it would be nice to have to lady Toa on the team, who used to be Kolhii teammates and would kick a lot of butt probably ^^ Otherwise, Kopeke, because reasons. Wasn't he originally gonna be the Toa Inika/Mahri of Ice? Takanuva is his own deal and I think it would be awkward to fit him into the Mahri, and honestly I just don't know the rest too well.

Gallus Faberge Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Well Matoro was an Ice Toa, hence the new one should be too.Therefore i voted Kopeke. But there's also the thing that he maybe shouldn't be replaced as a team of 5 Toa says something in a plotwise way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thormen Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 No one, replacing Matoro disregards the entire point of the Mahri existing in the first place. The Mahri's destiny was to heal Mata Nui using the Ignika. Since that was also Matoro's personal destiny, the destiny of the other Mahri was to simply assist him in doing so. Upon Matoro's death, their destinies were fulfilled. They shouldn't be looking for a replacement, they should lend their services wherever they can until the time they become Turaga or die. IMO, trying to replace Matoro means undermining the entire Toa-Turaga-destiny mechanic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 (edited) If anyone should replace/fill a vacant spot since matoro's death it should be a ice element character like kopeke. I just dont feel like takaknuva is a good choice compared to a ice element character. Like many have mentioned takanuva is mostly a freelancer and a honorary toa nuva member which is unique for him... and even though he knows the other mahri a lot, he shouldn't lose his unique status by being dowgraded to a official 6th member.
