This character's name is actually the Maori language word for "chilly" or "cold". In the story, Kopeke started out with a noble Kanohi Komau (Turaga Onewa's mask) in medium blue. At some point after being "rebuilt", It was damaged during a Kolhii practice leading him to replace it with a dark gray Kanohi Matatu in honor of Turaga Nuju. It is fascinating how Kopeke was released as set at all, considering how he doesn't appear in "Mask of Light", but doesn't speak at all in the second Mata Nui Online Game from that year. He is the only standard set to have the Technic HTO 90-degree "v-beams" in the old dark gray and the last to have the Tohunga style of feet in that color. Having debuted in Nuparu (in 8556) the year before. Kopeke is also the last standard set to have hand sockets in that color, though they first appeared in the Technic Star Wars Darth Vader figure (8010) at the start of 2002. They also appeared in the "Exo-Toa" (8557) and the Bahrag Queens (8558) between then, and also came in two Bionicle "Parts tubs" (8711 and 8713) in 2004 and '05 before being phased out. Kopeke's noble Kanohi Matatu in the old dark gray could previously only be obtained as an alternate mask for Turaga Whenua (8545) through the random Kanohi polybags (8525/8530) released during 2001 before appearing here, but also came in both of the aforementioned Parts tubs (8711 and 8713) before the mask was phased out all together. This set and Matoro's rebuilt form (8582) were the last to have Bohrok limbs and the lower HTO torso in white, with only the upper part remaining in use. If only for two more years...
