This is kind of funny since speed is specifically said to not be a Makuta power multiple times in the story. Maybe it’s an alternate-universe Makuta power?
I’ve also seen a theory before that the Nike kraata is Kraata-Kal.
I’ve always wondered how the Kestora got to that pocket dimension; did the Great Beings put them there for some reason, or did the Kestora somehow find their own way there?
Greg’s always been super unclear on how that all works; the City of Silver being on the Red Star could be an interesting prospect, though.
In my explanation for the “immoral” masks, it’s actually the masks worn by these Makuta that are immoral. Copies of their original forms are not considered immoral by the Matoran, as they are based on the unmutated forms of said masks.
Given that the Toa Mata canonically changed appearance three or four times in the span of a year, I like to imagine that various other characters changed their armor at one or more times. This allows different designs and MOCs to be legitimate, just at different points in history. For example, Tuyet originally wore armor that was unremarkable for a Toa of Water, but in the Dark Mirror universe, she later adopted armor more fitting for a tyrannical empress - darker, scarier, and more imposing - that would have been too obviously evil for any regular Toa. Likewise, the Toa Hagah didn’t look exactly the same after de-mutation as before (which would make sense because Roodaka never explicitly had the ability to reverse mutations, so she may have just mutated them again, into forms similar but not identical to their original ones).
We don’t. It’s just a theory that they could have. I do like the theory, though, since it makes sense that Roodaka might not be able to reverse her thousands-of-years-old mutations 1:1.
Maybe that explains the subtle difference in Pouks’s thighs from the model to the art, or some of the subtle changes to Kualus.
Being elite Toa, the Hagah were not only aware of their fusion abilities, but adept at using Kaita in combat. They may have used multiple arrangements depending on the circumstances, but my favorite arrangements are Norik-Bomonga-Kualus (who would have the ability to grow and shrink and summon animals to ride around on, and would basically be Ant-Man) and Iruini-Pouks-Gaaki (who would have teleportation, power-copying, and psychic foresight, and be extremely versatile).
Imagine how big it would be with the Mask of Growth. That’s probably 120+ feet, unless the Mask of Growth’s description is taken extremely literally and every single user tops out at 60 feet regardless of original height.
Also, what if the kaita activated the Shrinking and Growth powers at the same time?
Sentrakh never saw the disk coming. One moment, he was functioning normally, the next he was 20 feet high and slamming his head into the rafters. A second later, a second disk hit and he was reduced in size to six inches.
While Sentrakh’s height was never directly given anywhere, the model can be used to get an estimate. According to the phenomenal work done by others, Sentrakh is around 2.29 bio. Given that Toa are 1.6 bio, Sentrakh is about 43% taller than Toa. Even though he was hit with a disk of unspecified power level, we know the limit of a Great Pehkui is six inches, the same height Sentrakh shrank to. If it scaled with the target’s normal height, Sentrakh should’ve shrank to about 8 and a half inches.
If that’s how Shrink works, most definitely it’s how Growth works, too.
The shrink Disk is probably more powerful than a Pehkui. One of the tidbits on Disk Dueling is that a Matoran was shrunk so small that he was never found, so it’s most likely he was shorter than 6.
Headcanon: the Pehkui’s limit of 6 inches is actually intentionally made, as going any smaller makes you start to lose strength exponentially (you do actually lose some strength when you shrink with a Pehkui, but up to six inches this effect is negligible). It is theoretically possible to make a Pehkui that shrinks you more than Norik’s, but it’s not something any sane mask maker would do.
Not possible. Great Kanohi directly correspond to level 8 disks, from which they are made. Same with Noble Kanohi and level 7 disks. If the limit for a Great Pehkui is 6 inches, that means it’s the limit for a level 8 Shrink disk, which is the most you can get.
The source for that is the Ministry of Tourism site, and the books take precedence.
