toajomo Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 What should we call the new Toa? We can't just call them Toa, since that will add confusion. The BS01 just archives the real--I mean the old Toa into gen 1 page, and utilizes the names of the Toa for the reboot. I suggest we leave the old pages in their proper place, and call the reboot Toa the Toa Okoto. Any other suggestions will be appreciated though. Who has ideas?

Prime Axiom Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 (edited) Toa Mata. Just make mata the name for spirits again. Keep the roots, and throw us old fans a bone. Either that, or just "Tahu and his minions". I'd be fine with that. Edited October 14, 2014 by Prime Axiom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makuta_of_Oz Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Just call them Toa for now. Since they're the only Toa we know in this version of Bionicle, they don't need a second name. 6 Quote If you use correct grammar in your posts (or try hard to), place this in your signature.

LordofBionicles Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Masters I guess? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Click Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Could be Masters (Master Tahu, etc.), but I like Toa Okoto. It's similar to how we got the name Toa Mata, and I can see it being used more widely in the future. Maybe eventually we'll get something more official, but I think that's what I'll call them. Toa is just too ambiguous when talking about it with another Bionicle fan. 4 Quote ~ Corpus Rahkshi: Fang | Hoto | Tube | Tear | Canvas | Garrotte | Reda BZPRPG: Azusai | Mitsuri The Scarabax Library | Flickr | Deviantart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Smoke Monster Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I like Toa Okoto as well. There've been three other Toa teams named after the islands they were on. (Toa Mata, Toa Metru, and Toa Mahri) So I think Toa Okoto is a reasonable name for them. Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Pomegranate Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Toa Okoto and Masters just seem like the most natural choices. "The new Toa" is easy for all of us to understand too. I don't think they desperately need an official name, not until a new team of Toa comes up or something. Quote . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomdroidser Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm fine with the general suggestions except the "Masters" one. I look at the Toa, hear/see the word "Masters," and the theme for He-Man plays. -Tomdroidser Quote Featuring: Arkham Firefly/The LEGO Movie Quiz Now Entering: The Rise of DarkSaber Two personal thanks to Black Six for Proto Boost.

Element Lord of Milk Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I think Toa Okoto works until further notice. Differentiates them from their old versions to prevent confusion, and I think it fits with the other team names quite well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowBionics Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 The Toa Mata were just called "Toa" until it was officially accepted as canon in 2007. And that was a pretty long time before they got that name. It might be a while before the new character have a team name, or maybe not. We're still learning about this new world and characters, so things could change. So far all we know is they are Toa and Masters of their element. If you really want to name them, why not Toa Masters? Because I am lazy. That, or Toa Mastra... a name that was floating around the rumor mill for part of 2004-2006 when it was rumored the Nuva would return in stronger forms. I don't know who came up with that name but I thought it sounded sort of cool, and plus it sounds like "Master," and considering the Nuva for their time truly were masters, I thought it was also fitting. But then again I'm just some crazy old coot reveling in the old days while wondering about those crazy kids and their hero factories and their new fangled contraptions. So don't listen to me. 2 Quote [flash=250,100]http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/sprxtrerme/BANNERS/thornax.swf [Bionicle: Unsolved Mysteries] [The Knights of Terankos] [Miyaka The Blazing Wind] No, I didn't see you playing with your dolls again!

Regitnui Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Toa Okoto is the first thing I thought upon seeing the topic title. I'd recommend that. Quote Elemental Rahi in Gen2, anyone?

Or simply parallel them with a slightly new 'twist'! Gen 2 is NEW, it is NOT Gen 1 and it is NOT a continuation. Outside of the characters we already have I personally don't want to see ANY old characters return. I think it will cheapen the whole experience to those of us familiar with the original line...

Takhamavahu Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I'm content with "New Toa" until at least January when we have a better idea what the story will be and whether a team name fits the style of the new universe. 2 Quote Flash Fire Adaptive Armour Where They All Are Tobduk Nikila Iron Wolf Artakha Adaptive Armour 2 Helryx Lariska Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
randomreviewerbros Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Well following what the sets are called they would be Masters, but for now Ill just continue to call them the Toa Mata again, they just have that 01 look of the sets, with their bright colors and masks that are remakes of the 01 masks, they really remind me of that years sets Quote Go check out our Youtube channel!

jakest123 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Toa Okoto is a bit of an awkward thing to say, and though it's not actually the name of the island I think it sounds better to say Toa Koto, similar to how TTV called the areas on the island Ta-Koto, Le-Koto and so on. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa Of Anarchy Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 I feel like Toa Okoto would most definitely the most logical. The Toa in Metru Nui were called Toa Metru, the Toa on Mata Nui, Toa Mata. Of course, Masters is a fine name, but what if more "Masters" are introduced into the story?

I wonder if new waves of Masters will have different elements? Maybe in the story the original Toa are considered the definitive masters of their elements now so new Masters of Jungle, Water, Fire etc would just clash with that. Maybe new waves will have Masters of Gravity, Sound/Sonics, Electricity and so on until they run out of sensible elements to use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zeb Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Fun fact: Until Toa Mata was canonized as an official term, back in 2002 when the Toa Nuva came out, a common fan term for the old versions of the Toa was "Toa Olda". These names seem to work:Toa OkotoMastersToa Newa ( )The Master Toa Yeah, Toa Okoto and Masters are probably the best choices.
