I’m offended you have an opinion opposite of mine. How dare.

He was kinda cute, but don’t forget Defilak

I’d say the Metru are good for G1 standards.

Arise, thread! Long thought dead! I summon thee to do my bidding!
My favorite set is Brutaka. I got him back in '06, but stupid 5 year old me scrapped him to build crappy mocs.
EDIT: I prefer Vezon & Fenrakk.

This keeps getting ‘revived’ by individual posts… 
My favorite set has got to be either Brutaka, Vezon & Fenrakk, or Makuta. The Rahkshi were also super cool.
Small: Defilak or Idris. The Mahritoran had great builds, imo the best of all matoran we got, what sets Defilak and Idris apart from Dekar and Sarda are the masks. Goood those masks…
Toa: I would say I stand with the somewhat unpopular opinion of saying that the Inika probably are the best Toa sets. That is a discussion on its own, but I would say that my favourite of them is either Matoro or Nuparu. Least favourite of them is Hahli, and not because of the mask, its because of all those melded blue/white pieces. Ew. Honorable mentions are Vakama Metru, Lesovikk, Lhikan and Lewa Phantoka.
Glatorian: For looks alone: Gelu and Stronius. For inventive parts usage: Skrall and Vorox, if it wasn’t for those blue pins in the arms and legs.
Villain: Krika, Antroz, Takadox, Pridak, all the Piraka and all the Rahkshi. Let’s be honest, the villain sets were probably the most consistently good we got.
Titan: Brutaka. No contest.
Vehicle: Axalara. Never owned any of the vehicle sets, though I always thought Axalara was clearly the best looking.probably unpopular opinion time: imo there were way too many vehicles in the later years of G1. Sure most of them had great functions, but they also generally had very meh characters. Also,
I think it was very limiting in the storytelling, because we could have gotten much more from 2009 if some of the vehicles were replaced by a titan or something like that. Imagine if we could get maybe a Vorox cheif or alpha as maybe a 29$ set, that would bring a whole lot more depth to the story instead of “Here’s a guy. He has a motorcycle.
Yay.” Rant over.

Alright, I am gonna genuinely ask: How?

What Eljay means to say is, why?

A little bit of both. Why does anyone like Ketar from a design perspective and how could anyone like Ketar at all?
And I am being serious, not trying to riff on anyone for liking it, just trying to understand.

Meh. I actually enjoyed it as a toy.

My favourite…
Hydraxon.
It was my first Titan and was my personal fave set up till the Codrex arc, where the flying vehicles were introduced.
He reminded me of my dad, no joke.

Please tell me your dad had a tri-blade gauntlet and a wrist mounted gun.

Unless my dad’s Arnold Schwarzenegger then your out of luck. What I meant was when I look at Hydraxon, I see parts of my dad.
He kinda has that thing to him that reminds me of him.

Not seeing it. I could see Rode as seeming fatherly though.

Well, seeming as how Hydraxon was my dad’s favourite and only Bionicle set he bought and built for me, it shouldn’t be out of the realm that I associate him with my father.
