Kapura.
All he did was warn the toa mata of the bohrok, when they probably would’ve found out anyway. He’s never mentioned or shown afterwards, and prior to that, all he did was walk around the charred forest, and join the chronicler"s company
This is kinda important though…

And he had personality. A lot of it.
And you might as well argue that all the other dozens of Matoran from MNOG I & II that never did “much” are also useless… It’s not as if they were intended to be major characters.

Nah man. He’s just a chunk of plastic. I do hope you guys haven’t gotten an attachment to it like people do in Portal with the companion cube.
The Companion Cube isn’t connected with a fantastically hilarious YouTube video series…
Good Guy is…

Ummmm… What? I really hope you understand that I was joking, because obviously Gold Good Guy is a terrible set and has basically no impact on the story. I’m sorry that you couldn’t understand the joke.

Gold good guy is actually turaga lhikan according to greg farshtey.
He still is a bad set though

Oh I understood.
I’m just tired of this joke about the good guys.
Toa Mata Nui was the most pointless character because he isn’t even part of the story. His only purpose was to introduce an exclusive set into the aftermarket that nerds would pay astronomically large piles of cash for.

You can trash talk him in the worst sets section, Toa Mata Nui was just a set. He didn’t have any persona or such due to him being non-canon, therefore making him not a character.

The fanfic Battle for Spherus Magna actually deals with this issue in a very clever way, by making “Toa Mata Nui” a new body/character, separate from the story portrayal of Mata Nui.

And here’s another- Nivawk.
All Nivawk EVER did in the ENTIRE story was tell Teridax about the Toa Metru’s transformation (which he already KNEW was going to happen when he planted their names into Lhikan’s head), report on Nidhiki and Krekka’s battle with Vakama, Nokama, and Matau on the airship, and later their break-in into Lhikan’s prison; Both of which are easily done with generic Vahki, or some other plot device.
Point in case- Nivawk was a plot device, but even WORSE than the regular one, because his function in the story was so pointless (due to how few things he did, and how little importance these acts had) that his ONLY actions and prevalence in the story is to just BE there when something happens.
All Nivawk really did was just fill in a space for the Titan sets of 2004 and add wings to Teridax in the movie that just made people confused (unless they read Time Trap).
Also, I just realized that this WHOLE topic is basically dissing several characters’ meaning and existence.

Umbrella Umbra. The set is, at the very best, a parts pack, but being a mediocre set isn’t that bad on its own. What always bothered me, though, was how shoehorned into the story he felt. He had roller skates permanently attached to his feet in a world where transport carriages walk on spider legs. His name was unnecessarily counterintuitive. It was also taken from Latin and yet it was a part of the Matoran language, not the Agori language. I know the naming convention in 2006 was all over the place anyway and they probably didn’t have 2009 planned out back then but the point still stands. What’s more, Umbra’s role in the story was nothing more than a boss fight on the Toa Inika’s way to the Ignika.

Oh, gotcha.
I came up with a pointless one. Bone Hunters.
I swear they were really just added to give the Skrall a midget to sacrifice in the Glatorian game. They were originally from the rock tribe apparently, which is just another stupid dirt based Glatorian tribe most likely made up for a reason I’ll state later. They then became Bone Hunters because they wanted to be special snowflakes and ended up looking like Skrall anyways? Not to mention that they end up teaming with them. Coincidence? I think not. They probably even only gave them the story of originally being Agori just because all the other midgets in the game were that. I would rather that they released two Ice tribe members, some random guy and Metus, so that Metus could be for the Skrall since he was the traitor. At least Metus wasn’t added just to be a midget for a game. The Bone Hunters, are just tools.
