Did Matoran ever fight with one another?

[CeeCee]

Okay, I mean two things by this.1. Wars. Before you say anything about Shadow matoran, please bare in mind I mean of their own free will. Like thousands of Matoran rebelling against more thousands2. Actual fist fights. At a bar or something hahaha

[Taipu1]

Matoran civil war was about trade boundaries and such, mundane stuff that kinda escalated I guess. Here's the BS01 page.As for individual fights, Vultraz fought Mazeka well before he was turned Shadow. That's the only example I can think of though, and its still basically light vs shadow.

Well, there was the Matoran Civil War. I don't know about fist fights, though. - Austin Powers

1) Yeah, the Matoran Civil War was fought in Metru Nui. And if you count the mutant Matoran like Gatherer and Firedracax who fought in the Toa-Dark Hunter War, they probably fought some matoran as well as toa.2) Maybe. But we wouldn't know, And that sort of thing really doesn't matter. I'm sure a Matoran decked another one at some point or another.EDIT: adsf Taipu1. Edited September 12, 2012 by LewaLew

The Matoran Civil War was a big one, first off. But they probably did get into normal old fights every now and then, probably over minor things though.

There were disk duels on Metru Nui, so there had to be some arguments.

You see the hands on your Bionicles? I don't think they'd be very good for hitting. Maybe slapping would work.

1. There was the Matoran Civil War on Metru Nui, as others have said. I wouldn't be surprised if there were others in the MU as well.2. Mazeka and Vultraz are one example, though I'm sure many individual fights between Matoran broke out in the MU over its 100,000 years in service.

Why do you say that?

Okay this confuses me? Not to go off topic here but which hands were canon?

[onionfarb]

Well, all of the nanotech had fingers. So, the Glatorian hands, I guess.

[The Iron Toa]

I believe most people in the Matoran Universe fingers, if that's what you're asking.

[Makuta_of_Oz]

The invention of Kolhii was apparently invented after a group of Onu-Matoran and Po-Matoran got into a fight.

Give me a good solid punch with that.

This isn't set discussion, this is story discussion. In the story, the hands look like glatorian handsAnd the old hands would actually hurt more due to the fact that the same amount of force is being distributed over a smaller area; so more pressure.

Plus the canon hands have small parts; fingers. A solid chunk would hold together better. It's like getting hit with a spring versus a solid block of metal.Anywho, yeah, I had a feeling that misconception was at work, but the fact that it isn't so actually waters down their effectiveness. Still, hitting with a fist so the "knuckles" hit rather than the fingers would be the same as getting hit with the set-style noncanon chunk.

[fishers64]

Why use hands when you can use Kanoka disks?No actual fistfights are recorded in story, but I'm pretty sure they happened. But probably out on the streets. And in Metru Nui, the Vahki might have not exactly approved of that. They might have cut down on the number of violent conflicts.

Disk Dueling was supposedly a result of extreme conflicts, meaning Matoran ever actually fighting Matoran was rather uncommon. Same as how you wouldn't expect a Matoran criminal to commit murder or outright theft, it was mostly smuggling, fraud and taking "unscheduled breaks" from work.
