He didn’t really explain it, and I don’t think anyone has a problem with him liking Ketar, it’s just asking him why.
Meh, I see Ketar more as a mix of different chocolates (hence the Brown). You get your sweet milk chocolate from the design and the bitter chocolate that represents the function. All for the price of $7.

G2 Makuta, oh wait… not a set.

If lego gave us a third year to G2 and that had been the only set, I would have been super happy to have that on the list as best villain set

I did explain it. I like the way Ketar looks. I also like that you can store the unity mask on Ketar’s back.
*see photo
If you all could post your own lists of best and worst sets, that would be great. That’s kinda why I made this post. I wanted to see how everyone felts about the various G2 sets.

Your wish, is mah command!
Protectors
Best: Vizuna for sure, his colorscheme is amazing and his weapon was very creative.
Worst: I agree with the fact that Kivoda is easily the worst, bad colorscheme and weapon.
Creatures
Best: Ikir is the best in my opinion, he looks good and has a very nice function
Worst: Ketar, not going to go into this since everyone on the planet already has, though I don’t think he’s THAT bad
Villians
Best: Umarak the Hunter, again everyone had already explained this to death
Worst: Skull Slicer EASILY, he was barely a set with almost NO armor shells and the function moved 3 arms and once and 1 individually… why?
Uniters
Best: Tahu takes the cake, he’s just a great set, gold helped the phenix look, and his construction was was very well done
Worst: Gali, the set is just bad, awkward proportions, weird mask and weopon
Masters
This is hard since all of them are really well done, just gonna say right out the bat that I love them all. So the worst isn’t even a bad set in my book it’s just the one I love the least
Best: Tahu, he’s iconic, great colorscheme, amazing weapons, perfect mask, he’s exactly what we needed for a NEW Bionicle.
Worst/least best: Dang, I think Lewa, but I love that set, so, I guess his neck and arms are a bit awkward.

Just as Spartan_0185, I liked Gen2 and now opinion time.
Toa masters
Best, Pohatu: I love the burned orange, mask, arm posebility. but above all I love his weapons.
Worst, Gali: The gun metal grey does not go well with the azure and her gear function does not work well with her weapon. As well, her flippers/mermaid tail was the weakest transform function of the masters. I Still really enjoy the set, she is on par with my favourite uniters.
Toa uniters
Best, Kopaka: Cool mask, like the dark blue and love his sword. His studlauncher shield is meh, but you can (with little modification from in set parts) put it easily on his back and than you can have both his hands hold the sword.
Worst, Onua: I found him to be boring. I like how he looks, but i have difficulty getting him into poses and as somebody who displays his sets, that is dissapointing.
Protectors
Best, Nilkuu (Stone): Burned orange is amazing. I love his weapon and great amount of poses I can get him in. Pohatu and Nilkuu add to each other so well. They look great together and makes me like them even more. It is an endless cycle of loving these sets.
Worst, Kivoda (Water): The weapon ruins an otherwise good set. There are so little posing options with this weapon, However I still like the set, because I adore the protector mask design.
Creature
Best, Ketar: Love his function, probably best posing potential of all of the creatures. He reminds me of playing with my old bionicle sets, having the function go way to fast.
Worst, Melum: Funny how my least favourite creature and favourite toa Uniter happen to come in the same package. Melum is in my opinion a weaker version of Terak and that he comes with Kopaka and therefore devalues the set for me, making him even worse.
Spooky scary skeleton+Loss:
Best, Basher: I love how he looks, his weapons are better versions of Lewa’s (2015) axes and his function is fun. Tip, I placed a rubber band around his function so it isn’t flopping around everywhere.
Worst, Loss: His function is not as fun as that of skull scorpio and I like the look of skull scorpio’s mask. Scorpio has better posing as well. I simply have the options of 2 or 3 poses with Loss and that annoys me.
Beasts+Umarak twice
Best: Lava beast: I just love how he looks like this menacing devil. Unlike the other beasts he seems intelligent and his ‘wings’ look like some cool robe pieces to me. Moving hands also help in my appreciation of a set and he got those. His colour scheme is wonderful, mixing black with all kinds of different oranges.
Worst, Umarak the destroyer (of my hopes and dreams): He is just dissapointing, he has terrible articulation for a 25 euro/dollar set. He uses to much neon green, my least favourite translucant colour and his hands function doesn’t do much. His hands as well don’t pose well and this coming from our only gen2 titan set. I could have excused this set, if Makuta with Mask of ultimate “POWA!” (Tahu, 2015) was released. Even worse, in 2015 grievous was released, my favourite ccbs set ever. I had so much hype for a ccbs bionicle titan, as cool as Brutaka, my favourite gen1 set. But that didn’t happen, so Umarak the destroyer deserves this place. (Glad I could get this rant off my heart)
Honourable mentions
If it was favourite sets, Kulta vs Ekimu would be favourite spooky scary skeleton set, Lewa uniter would have replaced Kopaka and Akida would have replaced Melum.
Post scriptum
These are my favourite or least favourite figures. If I had to make this list about what I considered the best sets, it would be a bit different. If anybody is interested I will post it. However at this point my reply gets to long and I don’t want to strech any longer.

Best:
Protector: Protector of Stone
Master: Gali
Uniter: Tahu
Creature: Uxar/Ketar
Villain: Umarak the Destoyer
Worst:
Protector: Protector of Ice
Master: Onua
Uniter: Onua
Creature: Melum
Villain: Skull Scorpio
Sorry, I didn’t notice that post. If you want my list, then here you go.
Masters:
Best- Tahu
Why: ALL HAIL THE BELL BOTTOM JEANS
/s
In all honesty, Tahu is a great set with a cool function, being the gears. However when you can turn his swords into a surfboard, that is the thing that makes this is best Master.
Worst-Onua- Onua’s small arms and ridiculously large torso make him look laughable.
Protectors:
Best- Narmoto- I never got any of these, but Narmoto looks the coolest with his little spinny fire things and shoulder mounted stud shooter, so yeah.
Worst- None they all p gud
Uniters:
Best- Tahu- He just looks the best in general, the swords are awesome and the blue highlights look beautiful.
Worst- Lewa- The design and concept is good, but his limbs are hard to pose.
Creatures:
Best- Akida because shooty shooters
Worst- Ketar because he looks dumb
Villains
Best- SKULL GRINDAAAAAAAAAAAAAH COS HE GOT THAT STAFF
Worst- Scorpio, he’s good but his immobile legs are 3stoopid5me

Finally, someone else who appreciates Ketar!

To be honest, the reason why they didn’t make a titan is probably because they didn’t put enough time to mix in technic builds, pure ccbs is a lot more difficult to get a detailed and involved torso build (having bumps and pistons everywhere doesn’t really count). The designers just got lazy and chose a large chest shell and rib cage. They also probably gave up making new weapon molds as they realized Bionicle was doing poorly, and just slapped some claws on. The result: a sad excuse of a titan.
Oh no Skull Scorpio is becoming the new Solek.

I’ll throw in my 2 cents in chronological order
Best Master They were all really nice, so choosing a favorite is prettu hard. Based on looks, I’d say:
Kopaka: He was pretty great, and has a really nifty shield and pole. The function is only on one arm, which I perfer. However, he had shoulder armor that got in the way of the function, so I don’t mess with him much.
Based on playability, I’d say:
Pohatu: He didn’t have any unnecessary armor, he had the function in one arm, and had an extra dagger when he was in adrenaline mode. He’s the easiest to pick up and play with.
Worst Master:
Lewa: No up and down head movement, double arm function, not my favorite.
Best Protectors: Korgot: the movement is all really nice, along with he chest machine gun. Izotor was also pretty cool.
Worst Protector: Narmoto: Weapons and lack of elbows wasn’t the best.
Best Skully: Skull Scorpio: The function is great, lack of poseability in the legs doesn’t bother me, and I perfer it that way, because of…
Worst Skully: Skull Slicer: ew, four arms. I hate having to deal with many poseable limbs that will always get messed up and you can’t control all at once. We only have 2 hands.
Best Uniter: Pohatu: He has great shoulder poseability, and a good weapon. The boulder is a bit weird though.
Worst Uniter: Gali: No need to cover the problems with this. I will say that her weapon’s spinning pole is cool.
Best Creature: KETAR: yes, he’s a sushi chopping scorpion. But a cool one. Plus the combination mode with Pohatu is prettu cool
Worst Creature: Uxar: ehhh wings aren’t great, four limbs for feet. Meh
Best Monster: Bluekimu: Eh, he was the best of the worst. He had 2 functions, and they both work. Bad hammer legnth tho
Worst Monster: LB: What is that function. Really didn’t like it. Plus the head is pretty bad
Mentions
QB: He had a cool function, that while it didn’t look good, it was a lot of fun to play with.
Onua: his weapon is really meh. A machine gun in a hammer, where spinning the drill shoots it. Ehhh
Best Master: Gali, honestly. Her design flows really well and makes very good use of the different shades of blue. The gunmetal actually works on her.
Worst Master: Pohatu. Why is one of his arms completely colorless? Why are his weapons so weird?
Best Protector: Vizuna (aka Jungle). Ohhhh I love this guy so much. His bow is surprisingly well poseable for a two-handed weapon, his color scheme is fantastic, his build is the best example of the general structure that the Protectors use, and the slight asymmetricality in his shoulder armor actually looks really cool.
Worst Protector: Narmoto (aka Fire). Ugh. The random solid red chestplate which is the only full solid red piece on him, the short arms, the weirdly held weapons, and no back armor. Why.
Best Skull Villain: Kulta/Grinder. None of them are that great, and Grinder’s kinda bland, but he doesn’t have any massive errors like the rest of them do.
Worst Skull Villain: Scorpio. They literally made a scorpion with immobile legs. Who thought this was a good idea?
Best Uniter: Lewa. Lewa Lewa Lewa. He’s just so solid, and the small hints of yellow in his color scheme work amazingly well to accentuate a solid color scheme of green and gunmetal.
Worst Uniter: Pohatu. Again. He has, like, ten shades of brown. And his weapon is the least creative of the Uniters.
Best Creature: Uxar. Fantastically buggy, beautiful green wings, no obnoxious gold.
Worst Creature: Ketar. Hate to jump on the bandwagon, but his function is very poorly conceived.
Best misc 2016: Umarak the Hunter, with Bigkimu at a close second. No real need to go into details on Ekimu, he’s just very solid. Umarak is odd in some ways, but he tried more than the others did to emulate the classic G1 “Titan” model.
Worst misc 2016: Quake. Beast. Ew the arms.

Because it’s supposed to look armored? Like how his legs look like boots.
Pretty sure the bone pieces represent that actual arm and the armor pieces represent armor.
who say that they have to be armor? the burnt orange could be like cloth or something, while the silver could be actual armor
My point was that the bone pieces on one arm shouldn’t be all black when the rest of his body is varying colors. It makes the arm look dead or robotic.

My turn
Best Master: They’re all so good, but i’ll have to choose Onua because of his complex build.
Worst Master: Tahu. He has the worst armor placement out of all the masters and has tons of gaps when you look at him front-on with his limbs straight out.
Best Protector: Protector of Jungle- same reasons as @DuplexBeGreat mentioned
Worst Protector: Protector of Water because the placement of the turbines are awkward and his weapon is the most underwhelming
Best Skull: Skull Basher because the orange and purple work so well and his function is so neat that it was brought back for K2S0
Worst Skull: Skull Warrior. I get that he’s a rotting corpse but the asymmetry of the bulbous armor looks very awkward; at least Slicer was consistently skinny. He’s also the most generic with the rehashed protector bow and lazy staff; I respect Scorpio’s innovative function and build. Also, trans light blue and orange is the worst combo.
Best Uniter: Man did he redeem himself from his master form; he is a golden god. The colour layering is literally perfect (the red blends right in with the orange), and the weapon is fun to mess around with. Umarak is better than him though
Worst Uniter: Gali. What a downgrade. The proportions kill her, and her generic build n asymmetry don’t help
Best Creature: Akida. Most unique and streamlined build with a striking colour scheme to boot. The inclusion of a stand was a great surprise.
Worst Creature: Ketar. Melum comes this close to his place though
Best summer wave set: Lava Beast. Awesome scissor wings and demon-like colour scheme
Worst summer wave set: Quake. I want to like him so much, but I can’t.
