Do We Know What Happened To Makuta?

Hello :)In the movie Bionicle: The Mask of Light, after Takua and Makuta combined and held that gate while everyone got out of the building, he let the door crash on him. We do know that Takua was later revived, but how about Makuta?Thanks in advance.

Hahli :)

To build on that: As revealed during the later years of BIONICLE, the Makuta species had evolved past normal biomechanical bodies and consisted primarily of what we can call "sentient gas" capable of creeping into things like empty armor suits and soulless bodies in order to control them. When Makuta's armor was crushed, his gas form was forced to leak out.Eventually, the Piraka heard of the Master of Shadows' defeat and went to investigate. They found his armor and mask, but no Makuta. They also found some weapons (like the Spear of Fusion that Vezon later carried), and some still active Manas crabs. While there, Makuta influenced them with his telepathic powers, sending them in the direction of Voya Nui and the Mask of Life that rested there, as it was necessary for his master plan. He followed them, and revealed to their leader (Zaktan) who and what he was. The Piraka then used portions of his gas form to load into their weapons so they could infect and enslave the Matoran population to work for them.Eventually the Piraka were defeated by Toa and the Mask of Life lost in the ocean, leading into the Mahri Nui story arc where Makuta took over the robot Maxilos and so appeared in person once more.Full story of his life... here: http://biosector01.com/wiki/index.php/Teridax

Wait, how come there are multiple Makuta? Isn't Makuta the brother of Mata Nui?

"Makuta" is a species name. The Makuta of Metru Nui, who is the main villain, has a real name - Teridax - and is not the brother of Mata Nui. That "relationship" was, in essence, artistic license used by the Turaga.I could go into more detail here, but I'm afraid that the BIONICLESector01 Wiki can explain it better than I can. (BS01's still coming back from a recent server cataclysm, so the pages might not all be there, but there should be enough to get you started.)

The Makuta we first got to know has always been the main villain, and sort of the opposition to Mata Nui. Like the Toa call each other "brother" despite not being directly related, so did the Turaga refer to Makuta as Mata Nui's "brother" in their stories. Note that the Makuta did first exist to be benevolent, but they betrayed Mata Nui after they felt he got all the respect and attention they deserved for the work they did. So eventually they struck at him, with Teridax at the helm of the plan.But yeah, I would say BionicleSector01 is the best place to read the fully storyline. A lot has been revealed over the years, after the all.

Thanks for the help, everyone. If you want to read more about the Makuta, Circle, BS01 would certainly be a good place to look, especially the Teridax page Katuko linked to.Question answered; topic closed.
