Mish Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 (edited) I have studied Kopaka in depth and decided to post a topic on the most controversial and talked about things about him, including personality, old vs. new, weapons, looks... New vs. Old Armour: 2001 white w/ Ltgrey 2002 white grey silver 2008 white grey silver titanium 2015 white gold blue silver Mask: 2001 standard Akaku 2002 Akaku Nuva 2008 Adaptive armour Akaku Nuva 2015 Mask of Ice Weapons: 2001 sword and buckler 2002 sword/spear/ski combo and shield 2008 midak skyblaster w/ ice bayonet 2015 spear and shield/ski/sword combo Personality: Old Kopaka is cold, aloof, and anti-social. He prefers to work alone, and only agrees to team up with others when needed, and simply leaves company when his presence is no longer required. While he does see the importance of teamwork, he still feels uncomfortable by it. Kopaka and Tahu often clashed and disagreed on personal view-points and decisions, though both have begun building a respect for each other over time. After continuously working together with his team, Kopaka has matured, developing a sense of appreciating unity. He has a peculiar friendship with Pohatu despite their opposing personalities, and is closely connected to his other teammates as well. As such, any of them coming to great harm is one of the few things that can set Kopaka off; his usually cold temper, when unleashed, can drive him to take on his enemies regardless of any personal harm he may suffer.An intellectual by nature, Kopaka has an excellent understanding of how things work, as well as very good analytical skills. He was known to spend time pondering mysteries in the Ko-Koro Sanctum.Kopaka has control over the element of Ice. He can freeze water, stop snow falling, whip up immense blizzards, cause avalanches, make the temperature drop, freeze his enemy into a solid chunk of ice, or unleash blasts of ice. After becoming a Toa Nuva, these abilities were greatly enhanced, and also allowed him to use Kanohi Nuva. quoted from Bioniclesector01's abilities and traits section NewKopaka is noble and reserved. Upholding his own strict moral code he strives to be perfect and always "do the right thing". A fact that often makes him appear formal and even cold in the eyes of others. Luckily Kopaka's clumsiness and his not too solid direction sense help the other heroes remember that, after all, Kopaka is just a Toa like them.quoted from Lego.com's Kopaka profileKopaka is calm and reserved, due to his own strict moral code, and this outwardly austere attitude often makes him appear cold to his teammates. He is also a perfectionist, and the pressure he puts on himself often makes him seem cold to others. However, he is clumsy and has a poor sense of direction.quoted from Bioniclesector01's abilities and traits section MBTI type: INTJNOW YOU COMMENT Edited May 28, 2015 by Mish 4 Quote "INTJ PROUD;" 80788-81311-MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evergrey: Toa of Music Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The Adaptive Armor version was by far my least favorite The weapon didn't have any connection to previous incarnations of him, the mask was backwards (his looker was usually on the other side), and I just didn't like it. It could've been better. The best one I think is still the 2015 version. Personality may need to grow a little bit, but the weapons, the armor, the appearance are completely Kopaka! He's just a more believable character with the flaw of clumsiness (even if it is goofy/not like gen 1). Also the light blue makes it look like he's part of the element (which is genius, not to mention cool!) (subtle laughter). But yeah, I also like it's clearly Kopaka: it resembles his 2 earliest forms very well. I approve of it. 1 Quote Other great bands: Iron Maiden Journey Mercenary The Unguided Trivium Boston Stratovarius Symphony X Epica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a difference people. The term " To Slip and Fall" has the word 'Fall' in it for a reason. Because you have to do both. He slipped but he didn't fall. That is all. Bad sense of Direction. Yep that sounds like me. I am directionally challenged. That is to say I can get directions mixed up and the more of them there are the more likely it is to happen.

Takama Metru Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Kopaka 2015 looks terrible with his golden mask on thanks to the gold armour thaat he has. It should've at least been silver. 2008 Kopaka wasn't great. My only problems were the ocverall armour (could've added a bit more) and he only had one weapon which was a skyblaster. He should've had some meelee weapons that resemble the ones he had previously and his gun could've been a shield like 2014 Optimus Prime. Thats my opinion. His G1 character was better.

Lyichir Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Personally, I really love the design ideas of the new Kopaka. The original Kopaka was neat, but the fact that two out of the six Toa used swords made the team as a whole less diverse. The new Kopaka switches his sword for a spear (making him a "lancer" both literally and figuratively), and emphasizes his now-massive shield as his "main weapon". This gives him great contrast with Tahu—while Tahu's design emphasizes offense, Kopaka's design (from his shield to his bulky armor) emphasizes defense. And these physical traits mirror their personalities, with the bold and brash Tahu favoring an all-out offensive while the stoic and guarded Kopaka favoring defensive tactics. Finally, I love the new Kopaka's color scheme (which is much more interesting than his mostly monochrome past designs), as well as his weapon's dual functionality (which gives him actual skis as opposed to the original Kopaka Nuva's glorified ice skates). The only thing I really dislike about Kopaka is his "powered up" mode using the Protector of Ice's weapons—and considering the classic Kopaka sets never offered much of an equivalent, that's not really something that can be compared. 2 Quote Formerly Lyichir: Rachira of Influence Aanchir's and Meiko's brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sayin', but that's another discussion. Yeah, Tahu & Kopaka are definitely more opposing design-wise in this generation. I also like it for that. Dual functionality was always one of the coolest things Bionicle offered in the earlier days. I loved the Toa Nuva's dual function weapons and Matau had them too, but that was about it. I'm glad that that feature has made a return! And the "ice skates" that's so true lol Glad he has actual skis now!

Aanchir Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I definitely prefer Kopaka's new design for many of the reasons Lyi explained. He still stands out as an effective foil to Tahu, but now with less redundant weapons and greater emphasis on the traits that set them apart. Both Tahu and Kopaka stand tall and proud, but Kopaka's heavy armor also helps him feel bundled up, in keeping with his guarded personality and chilly environment, whereas Tahu's armor looks looser, sharper, and more flowing, in keeping with his outgoing personality and sweltering environment.I also prefer Kopaka's new personality traits, like seeming cold and distant because he holds himself to impossibly lofty ideals rather than just because he hates being around others. In general, I feel like the 2015 Toa's weaknesses are an improvement on their classic flaws, the new ones being challenges they can help each other through as they learn to tolerate and appreciate each other's uniqueness, rather than just bad attitudes that they will have to get over if they ever want to function as a team. And while it's not specific to Kopaka, it's nice that none of the new Toa feel disproportionately disadvantaged as far as their attitudes are concerned. Frankly, G1 Kopaka would have had a better excuse for being so hostile towards his teammates if he weren't just as abrasive to an all-around nice guy like Pohatu (whose biggest flaw was being mildly loud and pushy) as he was to the much less even-tempered Tahu. G2 Kopaka's clumsiness may be humbling, but any good hero ought to have a sense of humility and an awareness of their own imperfections. And his poor sense of direction could be a sign that he's more detail-oriented than "big picture"-oriented, which would be in keeping with his earlier analytical attitude (which has always been implied by the scopes on his mask). All things considered, I have always been introverted, but I can relate a lot more to G2 Kopaka than to his G1 counterpart. It's nice to have an introverted "loner" character who isn't outright hostile or disagreeable. 8 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toa of Ice - 1987 Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The only thing thats bad about G2 kopaka is the cluttered up gold on his torso and shoulders.I think silver or gunmetal would've been better than the gold(not counting the golden mask) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toa Smoke Monster Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 I agree with the opinion that Gen 2 Kopaka has too much gold on the upper half of his body when he is wearing his Golden Mask. With his regular mask on, the color scheme looks great, but the gold one is a little much. I personally think adding some white to his shoulder armor would've fixed this a bit, but that is just my two cents. Aside from that, Gen 2 Kopaka is a great set. He has a strong build, cool weapons, and the trans baby blue pieces look really good on him. But this version of him isn't my favorite. That would go to Kopaka Nuva from 2002. It may be my nostalgia talking, but I just really like that version of him. 1 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

32one Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think 2015 Kopaka has the best mask whilst his Nuva form had better weapons and dual function. Using Tahu's swords seems clumsy as both a shield and skies to me, and his spear is overdone with the ice addon. Nevertheless, the way that Kopaka Nuva holds his ski blades seems rather impractical. I think his Phantoka form is the worst with the poor proportions, boring design, random gunmetal chest, so-so mask, and the two-handed launcher that doesn't really suit his character.

Naota Takizawa Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Fun fact: Since Kopaka's shoulder armor attaches to the ball joints on the CCBS torso, not the gearbox, his shoulder pads can be twisted to rest on his chest and form a bra. 2 Quote If you like Pingu & want to support a good project, click here.

The gen 1 Kopakas looked pretty boring with just gray, white, silver and gunmetal. EDIT: Here's the link to the Kopaka review I saw. Skip to 5:43 if you want to see what I was talking about for yourself. Be advised, there is a language warning.

Mish Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Personally, I really love the design ideas of the new Kopaka. The original Kopaka was neat, but the fact that two out of the six Toa used swords made the team as a whole less diverse. The new Kopaka switches his sword for a spear (making him a "lancer" both literally and figuratively), and emphasizes his now-massive shield as his "main weapon". This gives him great contrast with Tahu—while Tahu's design emphasizes offense, Kopaka's design (from his shield to his bulky armor) emphasizes defense. And these physical traits mirror their personalities, with the bold and brash Tahu favoring an all-out offensive while the stoic and guarded Kopaka favoring defensive tactics. Finally, I love the new Kopaka's color scheme (which is much more interesting than his mostly monochrome past designs), as well as his weapon's dual functionality (which gives him actual skis as opposed to the original Kopaka Nuva's glorified ice skates). The only thing I really dislike about Kopaka is his "powered up" mode using the Protector of Ice's weapons—and considering the classic Kopaka sets never offered much of an equivalent, that's not really something that can be compared.All of the "powered up" modes for 2015 bother me. Just sayin', but that's another discussion. Yeah, Tahu & Kopaka are definitely more opposing design-wise in this generation. I also like it for that. Dual functionality was always one of the coolest things Bionicle offered in the earlier days. I loved the Toa Nuva's dual function weapons and Matau had them too, but that was about it. I'm glad that that feature has made a return! And the "ice skates" that's so true lol Glad he has actual skis now! the powerups probably only qualify as powerups because they have the elemental blasters. 2 Quote "INTJ PROUD;" 80788-81311-MI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gen 1 Kopakas looked pretty boring with just gray, white, silver and gunmetal.Well yeah The Mata were the first Toa sets with nothing but room to improve. Naturally he could look boring in comparison. You know what I want to see, What He would look like as both a Matoran and Turaga. Even though we know the Toa Mata were some of the few Toa who never had Matoran forms, they still have the option of having Turaga forms. So how would they loo you think?

But I wasn't really big on blasters ever...and I'm still not. I'm mainly a gear guy. I respect the new stud blasters because they are really cool and they work very well, but I don't think the Toa need them when they've got gears. (This is my personal opinion/preference).

Takama Metru Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 No idea, in that picture looks like it could be Coyote. Still There is no reason a larger pelt couldn't cover more of the upper chest as well thus why Kopaka also has a gold chest piece.No. I meant if wolf pelts would look good on 2015 Kopaka, not if they are in this image. Actually thingking about it know, imagine if there was a wolf coat robe for 2001 Kopaka He would look more epic imoWell don't just stand there get on it! Um... Better not tell PETA or their Mata Nuian counterparts. I don't think they'd approve.Work has already being done.....Kopaka will make it as a DLC for Skyrim Quote BEHOLD.....THE DREAM TEAM!
