How Takanuva probably should have looked

He gave them normal masks, which were made organic by the Red Star

Well he is called TakaNUVA for a reason.

Heā€™s called Takanuva because itā€™s a contraction of Takua Nuva, because he wanted to refer to himself as a Nuva even if he was technically not one, due to his familiarity with the actual Toa Nuva; thatā€™s the in-story explanation, but the real reason is that the story team didnā€™t want people to guess that Takua would transform into Takanuva so they changed his name

Why couldnā€™t they have just called the set Toa of Light or something?

In the early years of Bionicle, ā€œToa of ___ā€ didnā€™t even appear in set names; Tahu was Tahu, etc.

Thatā€™s interesting. So, if I were to turn into a Toa, I would look like a Phantoka. Cool.

No, youā€™d be a strangely fleshy, human like Phantoka.
