Pohatu is by far my favorite Toa in terms of personality. I actually based much of how I would behave in the gym off of his jockish but friendly attitude.
Well this was informative. I have to admit that after a decade spent absorbing Bionicle content I didn't think there was much I didn't know, but the added detail of the team knowing they were to lose there memories in the Codrex, and accepting that fate adds a certain level of tragedy to the rest of the story, particularly the early years where they had to reacquaint themselves on Mata Nui. And for a favourite member of the team, I'd say Kopaka, with Onua as close second.
Although the Toa Cordak were hailed as the first Toa team by the mataron, the Mata were actually first, but weren't active at the time. Only the Order of Mata Nui, Artakha and the AV-Mataron were aware of the Toa Mata's existence.
I remember buying these toa at a gas station many years back but I do have fond memories of their next forms the Nuva which I consider my first real dive into bionicle
Here is a suggestion for the next bionicle explained video based on the original bionicle story: Toa Teams. maybe cover the known Toa Teams, and how they impacted the story, and the backstories of the members of many toa teams. maybe cover the toa hagah, or the toa metru! it would be a cool episode imo.
Random thing to mention, the first few letters in each of the Toa Mata’s names are the Matoran names for their individual elements. Ta-hu (Ta is the name for fire.) Ga-li (Ga is Water) Po-hatu (Po is Stone) Onu-a (Onu is Earth) Ko-paka (Ko is Ice) Le-wa (Le is Air)
Prefixes, not necesasrily the full names. We don't know if ta can mean fire on its own without being a prefix. it could, though, but maybe not. Maybe in an unprefixed form it's a longer word.
Just gone through the whole series so far and i gotta say I am positively loving it. So informative and high quality, I could listen to thousands of these lol. In terms of what's next, maybe Bohrok or a video on the makuta like this video and the matoran one
I think I like all the Bionicle characters I used to look at Bionicle a long time ago even watch the movies and in games and all that stuff nevertheless my favorite it's personally Tahou he may be a hard head but he is a fierce leader because nevertheless you need to have a strong leader in teamwork to make things better that's the one thing I like about Bionicle is a legend that comes to life 😉👍
I'm confused about the hydraxon part. i thought he become hydraxon because of the mask of life turned him to him. but great video I problem need to look into it my self
Hydraxon is kind of a weird case so I’ll explain his situation real quick. The Hydraxon we saw in 2007 was not the original Hydraxon that trained the Toa Mata. Instead he was the Matoran Dekar, who got transformed to look like and think he was Hydraxon by the Ignika. The real, original Hydraxon was killed during the Great Cataclysm when the Barraki escaped from The Pit, so essentially, the Hydraxon we see in 2007 and the Hydraxon that trained the Mata are two completely different people. Hope that helps!
@@Pilot_of_Solace i hated this part in the story. The second Hydraxon is literally the same as the original: he looks the same, he acts the same, he has all memories of the original. Would've been better if Hydraxon survived the Great Cataclysm and would've hunted prisoners that escaped the Pit up to the 2007 story, while Dekar was a normal Matoran that assisted the Toa Mahri. If not, it would've been better that Dekar would've nearly died, and then the Ignika would transfer Hydraxon's soul into his body, reviving the original Hydraxon in Dekar's body, rather than transforming him into a new Hydraxon that literally is the same.
i personally would prefer the old version of design as they look more 'alive' & the design been shown in this video look like a simplified version ... =(
The fact people still make videos about the very first Bionicles from 2001 proves how timeless it is
Onua is my favorite, he is extremely underrated. Onua is both the Bedrock and the consience of his team.
Pohatu is by far my favorite Toa in terms of personality. I actually based much of how I would behave in the gym off of his jockish but friendly attitude.
Bruh...
I like him just because he is basically Sonic in the Matoranverse.
That's more Lewa but with the Kakama@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo
halo music+bionicle i have so much respect for u

The lore seems to imply that the Toa Mata were basically a team of repair technicians.
I remember buying these toa at a gas station many years back but I do have fond memories of their next forms the Nuva which I consider my first real dive into bionicle
Took me a while to notice the Halo music in the background if I’m not wrong. That’s some peak childhood in this video

Ta-hu (Ta is the name for fire.)
Ga-li (Ga is Water)
Po-hatu (Po is Stone)
Onu-a (Onu is Earth)
Ko-paka (Ko is Ice)
Le-wa (Le is Air)
Pretty much everyone knows that so more like useless thing to mention

Everybody gangsta till solace posts another bionicle explained vid
This is pretty cool. I’m looking forward to seeing what you do next.
Just gone through the whole series so far and i gotta say I am positively loving it. So informative and high quality, I could listen to thousands of these lol.
In terms of what's next, maybe Bohrok or a video on the makuta like this video and the matoran one
The best contents always target the smallest group of people. Love your work!
hearing bionicle heroes and halo music together was the most bizzare and nostalgic experience in my life so far
Kopaka was always my favourite, great video man
Heeey this really good and is better cuality than other bionicle videos.
I have a recomendation you sholuld do a video on the piraka
I like kopaka he seems pretty practical. At least his choice in gear is.
A titanfall and a bionicle fan, i finally found someone like me
Great video! The use of renders really elevates it!
I have another suggestion, mayhaps the Element Lords???
Great vid! My favorite Toa is Lewa.
If possible could you do one of the Toa Metru?
Maybe you could do an episode on the makuta, kraata and rahkshi
I love this content espiecally since I always wanted to know about the lore of these toa after the origanal toa from metru nui
Great job!
Good guy lore when
Pohatu is my favorite!!
Ireally enjoy these bionicle lore videos, can u make a video about the toa mahri or phantoka?
I love the Halo music
I enjoy all equally but the pakari mask of strength is my favorite. Im even considering adding it into my tattoo sleeve for filler space
Very cool
I think I like all the Bionicle characters I used to look at Bionicle a long time ago even watch the movies and in games and all that stuff nevertheless my favorite it's personally Tahou he may be a hard head but he is a fierce leader because nevertheless you need to have a strong leader in teamwork to make things better that's the one thing I like about Bionicle is a legend that comes to life 😉👍
Do a video on the timeline/lore of the Pit prison please.
Aye love the titanfall music
OHO YES
How could I pick a favorite from the Toa Mata? Like this: Kopaka is my favorite Toa Mata.
So, if Toa Mata were humans, that would mean they'd be siblins, and Artakha and Helryx would be their father and adoptive mother respectively, right?
Basically
Lewa is the best-good boy. Tree speak is so much quick-easier.
My favorite toa is Gali, she's interesting
I love bionicle
Okay, I'm just now learning that there are TPBs of the comics. Where can you find them?
Biomediaproject
Did anyone here ever track down all the kanohi masks for the toa mata back in the day?
Is it true that most toa weren't matoran? I thought it was just Helryx and the Toa Mata.
