Master Inika Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) I had the idea today to make nicknames like the Piraka's for every non-swarm canister-level wave character in the Matoran Universe. My results: 2001 Tahu - "The Leader" Gali - "The Peacemaker" Pohatu - "The Athlete" Kopaka - "The Loner" Lewa - "The Joker" Onua - "The Listener" (2002-2003 are all swarm enemies and the Toa Nuva) 2004 (this one is mostly just the Toa Metru's Matoran jobs) Vakama - "The Vanisher" Nokama - "The Teacher" Onewa - "The Carver" Nuju - "The Scholar" Matau - "The Pilot" Whenua - "The Archivist" (2005 is Toa Hordika and swarm enemies) 2006 (Toa Inika's taken from BIONICLE: The Quest Game) Hakann - "The Bully" Vezok - "The Beast" Avak - "The Trigger" Thok - "The Drifter" Zaktan - "The Snake" Reidak - "The Tracer" Jaller - "The Striker" Hahli - "The Catcher" Hewkii - "The Hitter" Matoro - "The Keeper" Kongu - "The Tumbler" Nuparu - "The Stopper" 2007 (mostly just the Barraki's animal counterparts) Kalmah - "The Squid" Takadox - "The Mantis" Carapar - "The Crab" Pridak - "The Shark" Ehlek - "The Eel" Mantax - "The Ray" 2008 Antroz - "The Commander" Vamprah - "The Hunter" Chirox - "The Scientist" Bitil - "The Climber" Krika - "The Thinker" Gorast - "The Follower" 2009 Malum - "The Exile" Tarix - "The Champion" Vorox - "The Savage" Strakk - "The Mercenary" Gresh - "The Rookie" Skrall - "The Soldier" Ackar - "The Elder" Kiina - "The Fighter" Mata Nui - "The Stranger" Gelu - "The Guard" Vastus - "The Penitent" Stronius - "The Warrior" 2010 Nektann - "The Warlord" Takanuva - "The Hero" Misc Mata Nui - "The Protector" Makuta - "The Mastermind" Artakha - "The Builder" Karzahni - "The Nightmare" Nidhiki - "The Schemer" Krekka - "The Bruiser" Sidorak - "The Figurehead" Roodaka - "The Widow" Keetongu - "The Myth" Axonn - "The Judge" Brutaka - "The Traitor" Nocturn - "The Convict" Hydraxon - "The Jailer" Icarax - "The Strongman" Any thoughts or suggestions for nicknames that would be better?

Illuminatus Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 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.

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.
