2008

Antroz - "The Commander"

Misc

Neat thought.

I have a bit of an issue with most of your examples, though, in that they sound a bit more descriptive and far less edgy than they ought to be, if we want to be loyal to the 2006 marketing approach. Remember, 2006 was all about the edge, to the point where it was borderline insensitive.

Here's what I think the Toa Mata would sound like if we're being 100% accurate.

The Bullet

The Torch

The Mole

The Mute

The Bust

The Gibe

Actually, the Mask of Light Board Game gave Piraka-style nicknames to the Rahkshi as well!! They're based on each Rahkshi's respective power:

Turahk - "The Fear"

Panrahk - "The Fragmentor" (imagine trying to fit that into the Piraka rap!)

Vorahk - "The Hunger"

Guurahk - "The Disintegrator" (another long boi)

Lerahk - "The Poison"

Kurahk - "The Anger"

 

Here's my attempt at Piraka-fying the Bohrok-Kal:

Tahnok-Kal - "The Coil"

Pahrak-Kal - "The Laser"

Nuhvok-Kal - "The Hammer"

Gahlok-Kal - "The Magnet"

Lehvak-Kal - "The Cleaner"

Kohrak-Kal - "The Speaker"

 

And the 2001 Rahi:

Nui-Rama - "The Bug"

Nui-Kopen - "The Buzzer"

Muaka - "The Tiger"

Kane-Ra - "The Bull"

Kuma-Nui - "The Rodent"

Manas - "The Crab"

Mana Ko - "The Tank"

Nui-Jaga - "The Stinger"

Kahu - "The Racer"

Tarakava - "The Swimmer"

Tarakava Nui - "The Tree"

 

Kewa - "The Chaser"

Takea - "The Biter"

Kofo-Jaga - "The Lurker"

Hoto - "The Burner"

Hikaki - "The Herder"

Taku - "The Penguin"

Ruki - "The Snack"

Fikou - "The Weaver"

Hoi - "The Flier"

Husi - "The Hungry"

Ussal - "The Worker"

Kuna - "The Strangler"

Vako - "The Horn"

Makika - "The Croaker"

Fusa - "The Kicker"

"Kai... Nireta... the other six Kakama-wearers... yep, Ga-Koro's all here!"

That's pretty good. I think the Mask of Light novelization also used similar nicknames for the Rahkshi. Some of your Rahi nicknames I think are just what those names mean in Matoran, which is fitting.
