A finger

I’m sorry but actually that hand has no fingers
Are you saying that you slot in weapons in your singular finger? Or is this a Power Puff Girls situation?

yes yes and yes
I don’t want to know what this is referencing
Although I think I have determined the purpose for that bump in the hand:

When the digit is sus!!! AHhh Ding Ding DING
my two cents are that Bionicle has various media depictions, making it subjective regardless of the word of Greg. I say yes to fingers but not fully formed hands on all e.g. the McToran having 3 fingers and most beings only having 4 at max on a hand.

Okay but hear me out
Chiara’s Toa tool is unknown.
What if it’s just a single large finger?

I’d prefer her dual wield two large fingers

MU beings definitely have fingers, but the number varies wildly. Artakha has five, while Glatorians and Agori have four. McToran possess three, and Lewa and his coke nails only have two. And apparently Chiara has one
What’s concerning about the no fingers argument is that if the sets are to be interpreted literally, gold good guy (whom Greg canonized as Turaga Lhikan) doesn’t even have a right hand!

I’m on the no-fingers side purely because it’s fun to tell people about it. For one, I fail to understand how Axonn and Brutaka having fingers invalidates the argument. Clearly what he is saying that all MU beings lack fingers except the ones depicted in sets to have them. It’s pretty simple. Also, the Stars are in a canonical grey area - some parts are canon, some aren’t. It’s very simple to say that their fingers are not, in the case of Tahu, Takanuva, Nektann, and the Rahkshi of Heat Vision.
It’s also very simple - and a bit more logical - to say the fingers are canon. Also, Tahu Mata either had fingers or two prongs coming out of his hand for literally no reason at all.
Going the route of no fingers, there’s a lot of design elements I had previously mentioned that become extremely awkward if they don’t represent fingers, like 2/3 of the Toa Mata, all Tohunga, Teridax, Ultimate Dume, Gadunka, and many others - and if the Mata have fingers and the Nuva don’t, then you have an even greater difficulty on your hands, because now energized protodermis takes fingers.
Clearly what he is saying is that MU residents don’t have fingers and then getting annoyed when someone says they clearly do. This was 2015 Greg, who seems to forget he wrote Chiara and Mutran specifically having fingers and implying the existence of such every time he wrote a character making a fist, because that requires fingers, too.
Which reminds me, the Toa Mata/Nuva bumped fists often. Lesovikk’s team is stated to have been bumping fists in Lesovikk’s illusion. Guess they have fingers, then.

I’ve always thought that they have hands, and that this piece:
is just the standard hand that everyone who has one just has a ‘normal’ hand, whereas people who have some claw/sharp pointy pieces attached to it will just have those as fingers but if your cool like hydraxon he just has slightly bulkier fingers and if they have the spike piece on the end they’ll just be spiky fingers
I hope you could understand this awful sentence that my last two brain cell put together

Their fingers are usually invisible
When filming a movie or if Lego wants, they are colored

They represent fingers.
That’s not that weird. It takes and grants powers. Why not fingers?
The written story materials are set in the movie universe, where they do have fingers
You don’t need fingers to fist-clank, you can just smash your magnetic fingerless plates together
Except it doesn’t take powers. It either grants powers or takes lives, depending on whether or not the user is destined to transform. The only time I can think of it taking powers is transforming the golden kanohi of the Mata into kanohi nuva, but the kanohi isn’t part of the body.
Except that’s the universe Greg is referring to in all of the novelizations, Ask Greg Q&A, and everything ever produced under the LEGO banner. He’s saying that universe doesn’t have fingers when it clearly does, the one he’s written for for almost a decade.
And if he’s talking about something entirely different… What exactly is it? Has he ever written for it?
It’s impossible to ball a fingerless human hand; there’s no joint in the middle of the bones. If somehow the argument is made that the Toa do possess such an absurd joint to allow them to, it’s basically a mitten, which accomplished the same purpose as fingers, so they may as well have them.
The sets’ universe.
Okay, fine, but it does transform people. Why can’t it remove someone’s fingers?
It’s localization for readers who have fingers

You mean the one that Greg wrote about? Because that’s the one he wrote about.
How do we know it does?
And namely, how come it would only remove the fingers of MU inhabitants? All of the Glatorian have fingers. If the Nuva are fingerless, they’re an incredibly bizarre addendum to the properties of energized protodermis, namely that they were destined to lose their fingers.
