I intentionally left out Light and Shadow, because I'm sure there were no other Toa of Light besides Takanuva, who wasn't even a Toa at that time, and I'm sure there were no Toa of Shadow around that time either. If I'm wrong feel free to correct me. Edit: Ice has been removed also. I personally would want the final Toa Mangai to be a Toa of the Green, because we need more of those...

Regitnui Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Personally, I agree with Greg. 2 fire Toa to absorb the Kanohi Dragon's fire blasts, 4 Ko-Toa to hurt and disable the Dragon, and the other 5 of varying elements for unforseen circumstances.

Boidoh Posted November 16, 2014 Author Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) There are already 4 Toa of Ice in the team, and I do agree that it would be overkill if there were more, but I do not think anything states that there couldn't be more than 4. I don't think personal opinions should change whatever choices there are on the poll. Besides, I think enough people have sense NOT to vote Ice. Also, to whoever wishes to vote for Earth, know this, a Toa of Earth was confirmed to be in the Toa Mangai not long ago... So confirming ANOTHER one would be a bit too much, don't you think?

I won't vote yet and in the end might not vote at all. I'm pretty impartial to the last member, but I would like either Fire, Air, Stone, or Earth to get the member since Water and Ice already have more than one member of those elements. Or maybe one of the extended family? I dunno. 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...

fishers64 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 (edited) Boidoh, I think you meant this one: https://community.lego.com/t5/LEGO-General/Chat-with-Greg-Farshtey/m-p/11692554/highlight/true#M258343 It appears that your link is to two posts above that. I voted Plasma. Because to absorb the Kanohi Dragon's fire blasts Plasma Toa would be better than Fire Toa.No, because Plasma Toa can only absorb Plasma, not fire. As for poll, still thinking it over. Part of me wants them just to have standard elements to be consistent, but another part says that having greater elemental representation would be a good idea. Also of note is that the team was assembled to deal with the Kanohi Dragon IIRC, so they would pick elements needed for that task.

Cambion Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 okay, fine. if we're still going to play the canonization game until the very end of G1, i'll bite. fire or plasma seem like the best choices. since the rest of the team adheres to the classic six elements, though (a choice i'm not particularly happy with), having the last one be a classic element as well makes a little more sense to me. also seriously, remove ice from the poll. it's been stated in canon (several times) that there were four Toa of Ice. adding one more now would just be ridiculous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeb Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 Hmmm... I think I'll vote for ice. No wait, don't throw stuff at me! I was joking! I really want to vote for a secondary element, especially lightning. But it would be more realistic to choose fire... ARGH WHAT DO I DO!?!? Ohhh... I vote for... Gravity! Because you don't want that dragon flying away, and a Toa of Gravity could cause the dragon to be pulled to the ground, and he could also, if he was experienced, use his powers to force the Kanohi Dragon's mouth shut.

Archon~ Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 (edited) I think magnetism or iron would be cery useful to sort of try and wrangle the dragon to stop him from flying away. Gravity could work too? And I honestly don't really see how Earth would be usedul without damaging/burrying the entire city. EDIT: How i the world do any of you think that plantlife would be useful? Think about it. Just cuz you want a Bo-Toa don't try to powerdrive one into canon for a team that it doesn't make sense for him to be on. Come on.

kopekethechronicler Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 If I were putting together a team to fight a flying dragon creature, I would definitely want at least two Toa of Air. A Toa of Gravity could be similarly useful, but I'm in the camp that wants to stick with the elements of Metru Nui. Toa of Air. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Destroyer Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) I voted for the Green.

JMSOG Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I personally voted magnetism, mainly due to the usefullness that such a toa would have against the dragon/his eventual usefullness in a hub like metru nui. I would like to play devil's advocate if that's okay: there is not much plantlife at all in Metru Nui. a toa of the green would, very literally, be out of his element there. If he initially came to fight the kanohi dragon, i can kind of understand that MAYBE...but I can't imagine he would have stayed long afterwards. Quote Hi.

Is it because you people pity the Toa of Green because we never actually met one? That's because The Green is a really lame element. Yeah, it's so lame, that the element Air was replaced with Jungle in the 2015 reboot.And besides, why would a Toa of the Green go to a district of factories and furnaces to fight a giant dragon that breathes fire? Why would a Toa of Ice do that either? Wouldn't their ice completely melt in that area?Heck, how many plants are even in Metru Nui? Two? Oh my... Why is everyone forgetting an important thing. The Toa can CREATE their element. How many Ice was there in Ta-Metru? None. The Toa of Ice created ice using their elemental powers. So I don't see why a Toa of the Green cannot create more plantlife.That's like if your house caught on fire, and you fought the fire with a post-it note. Not only is your house still on fire, but you wasted a perfectly good post-it note that would have been better used elsewhere. Even a Toa of magnetism would make more sense than the Green.

The Toa of the Green can CREATE plantlife. He doesn't just control plants, he can CREATE and absorb them also. The Toa of the Green can entangle the Kanohi Dragon in fire resistant vines, or plants. Plants can be quite sturdy and be used to keep the dragon rooted to the ground while the four Toa of Ice try to encase the dragon in ice.Also, a Toa of the Green can create any plantlife. You know what he can create? Those explosive fruits. What were they called again? Erm.. Madu fruits I think. They can explode and can be used to stun the dragon.

Regitnui Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Look Boidoh, I'm not against the Green because it's a lame element. I'm against the Green because it's pointless to have it on a team fighting a fire-breathing dragon in a Lava Land. The four Ice Toa are there because the Dragon has a weakness to cold. Their Ice would still be cold water which can be easily refrozen. One Bo-Toa is going to have to constantly reinforce whatever of his vines are burnt into ash or shattered and crushed by the ice.

While it's not a vine, it does have branches, wood as hard as rock that resists burning, and can survive at the top of a mountain in the path of an active glacier. There is also any number of fire-resistant plants in real life, from tiny bushes to huge oak trees. More importantly, this is Bionicle. There could be a fire and/or ice resistant vine. There's a vine down in Karda Nui that produces light, for crying out loud. It's not out of the realm of possibility, although it's not really as intuitive as I would like. I voted fire.

I think the way it works is if a Toa of the Green is in a field, he can use the soil and nutrients and whatnot to create a plant; you can't really do that in Metru Nui. Not to mention the Kanohi Dragon is huge and strong, and could probably break out from any plant prison. It was fighting the Tahtorak, for goodness sakes. That thing is a monster, and plants probably couldn't stop it. And I'm not "hating" on the Green just because I don't like it very much. Such a Toa would not be useful in a situation like that. Like I said - if anything the Toa would just spread the fire and chaos, since any plant life would simply burn to the ground. I don't think there is any "fireproof" plant in the entire world, or at least I haven't heard of one before. I know some plants burn more easily than others, and that some are "fire-resistant", but I don't think that matters when you're dealing with a dragon. And I'm not jealous that it's winning. I don't care what wins, in the end. But I do think it'd be better to pick something a little bit logical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
