The Kanohi Olisi was even used to give Makuta a vision of the great spirit suddenly waking up and beating him up for all he did, this vision was so powerful it caused him to scream. Never in my life would I have imagined a being like Makuta screaming in horror, that's some serious psychological power.
Pretty sure that's the godly equivalent of having a nightmare where it turns out your final assignmnt for a course was due a week earlier than you thought and so your not even halfway done. A true waking nightmare, not just because of how painful it would be, but due to how absolutely preventable it would've been..
Fun fact. The creature at 10:05 was originally built by a fan. It was a Scholastic contest design Winner and it along with many other fan creatures were integrated into the lore
The Avohkii is pretty useful, just imagine all the stupid arguments you could avoid by raising the understanding of the different parties. It could help unite mankind immensely!
So Basically Matoro have been surrounded by death since he became a Toa? First he had a mask that turned him into a ghost, then he got one that can reanimate dead bodies, before he finally died himself. Damn, that's brutal.
Surprised how many Mahri masks got on the list, but I guess the powers DID get more creative as time went on. Probably the worst mask is the the Kanohi Miru, the Mask of Levitation. I mean yes, it can has some uses, but it only allows you to float. Also, later, we got the Kadin, the Mask of Flight. Obsolete much? And yes, the Miru Nuva also allowed flight, but that was the NUVA version, not the original.
While not as powerful as most of the masks listed here, I always thought the Kakama and Kakama Nuva would be pretty OP, as Quicksilver shows us in "X-men Days Of Future Past." I can totally see Pohatu with headphones listening to Time In A Bottle recorded REALLY SLOW as he runs around being a boss.
***** no, here is a description of the mask: "[Gali] could feel some of the familiar effects of the Mask of Speed. Her reflexes had become lightning quick,the only thing making it possible for her maneuver at such high speed. Her vision was sharper. Objects that should have been just a blurr were sharp and clear to her."
A few suggestions (you don't have to do them if you don't want to) Top ten Weapons Top ten Rahi Top ten Dark Hunters Top ten Titans Top ten Battles/fights
K-leb black wholes are not as dense as stars as it happens, but their gravitational field is so Goddamn strong that even light can't escape. Hence, they appear completely black. They aren't actually holes.
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am) but doesn't anything that dies in the Matoran Universe get sent to the Red Comet to be ressurected and sent back? If that's the case, then there isn't really anything that the Tryna can ressurect. It's only known uses were in Mahri Nui, outside the Matoran Universe, which was never really considered to happen in the first place. (also I am aware of the slight irony of me dissing the Tryna while using it as my profile pic...) My 3 favourite Kanohi would be: 3: Sanok - Mask of Accuracy - Turn anything into a projectile and hit any target you want. And it's always on. Hewkii uses his as an Inika to 1-hit-KO a fused Thok and Hakann by hitting them in the place where their armor touched. 2: Olmak - Mask of Dimensional Gates 1: Mask of Creation - Teaches the user how to make anything they want out of anything they want, then can make it for them. This has so many uses! "I need a gun to shoot that guy with. Mask of Creation, make me a gun out of those rocks." "I need to get over there really quick. Mask of Creation, make me a plane out of that tree." Hell, you could even use it to make any other Kanohi you want! It's no wonder it was one of the Legendary Masks. But unlike the Vahi (less useful than other less powerful masks) or the Ignika (so powerful anyone who uses it dies shortly after wearing it), this one is OP, extremely useful and safe to use!
***** The Red Star used to send spirits of deceased beings back to the MU in new bodies that look exactly like their old ones. The original bodies will be left behind. I mean, if your logic was true, there wouldn't have been a need for a "Mask of Undeath", right? Yes, there's a Mask of Undeath. It stores a slight bit of the user's life force in it. Upon the user's death, the mask uses its power to re-animate the corpse to fulfill the last objective the user was focused on before death.
RED Soldier I'm not sure if its canon or not, but the Red Star broke... Or something... Something in the Red Star malfunctioned, causing resurrected matoran to be unable to return, thereby causing "death", though I'm not too sure how that works - how to fix a spirit with no body? Maybe infuse with more energy, since that seems like how the matoran are(mechanical beings, as opposed to makuta who evolved to bio-mechanical and a couple others)? This resulted in the Red Star becoming really crowded with all the matoran that died(not sure what the significance is, but I just remember it being stated somewhere)... We also need to remember that the Voya Nui arc was written well before the revelation of the Mata Nui ROBOT, and the function of the Red star revealed. This means that the authors might have not noticed this small inconsistency. Incidentally, since the Makuta were supposed to create rahi using energized protodermis and stuff, and given their personalities and tendencies, I would think that they might have experimented on creating Matoran, which may have been unable to go to the Red Star, since they technically arent "true" matoran, created at the same time as the Mata Nui robot by the Great Beings.
David Wang Actually, after the succes of the Mask of Light movie and the sudden increase in sales of Bionicle sets, the team quickly decided to prolong the story very quickly, with some details already thought off. In fact, by the time the Mask of Life storyline began, the whole Great Spirit Robot thing was already planned. They think ahead with stuff like that. If you're really curious, go ask Greg Farshtey, he wrote the entire storyline and answers fan questions on the LEGO website.
The exact wording (according to TTV) of the comment that implied this mentioned its importance in LoMN. The vahi played an important role throughout the story, and (while this may be a bit of a stretch), LoMN did not have to be brought up. My theory (if we're going with the fact that the Vahi is half a mask) is that there is a Mask of Time in Okoto (possibly hidden in the Temple of Time). When Vakama made the Vahi in LoMN, it established some kind of connection between the two universes. This connection could somehow bring the Toa Nuva from Gen 1 into Okoto. I still say if that they're wearing the adaptive armor, they could very well be the same Toa. I think that at some point in the story, Makuta or some other villain will find the half of the Mask of Time in Okoto, and somehow get the other half. Or, maybe a character from the original lore could bring it to them, one who has the power to hop between dimensions. (Ahem...Vezon). Alternatively, Maybe Vezon comes to Okoto to get the other half of the mask. Also, Vakama's my favorite BIONICLE character and it's awesome to think that Vakama is the reason BIONICLE came back. :D
Well, to be honest, I just really want a villain from the Old Universe to end up in Okoto, even if it was just a cameo. I believe that the Toa are the same ones from the old universe, but I don't think Makuta is the same Teridax from the old one. Someone suggested on a BZP forum a while back that during an online animation, "Vezon was here" should be written on a temple wall. Even if they just did that I would be satisfied. I just said Vezon because if anyone were to come to Oktoto it would likely be him.
The first time I watched this I was eating a pasta salad, and so now, whenever I watch this video, I think about that pasta salad. 'Twas a good pasta salad, btw.
Olmak has always been my favorite. It's ridiculously OP. Brukata would have been unstoppable is it wasn't for the story line and the fact he was a bad guy.
The # 1 mask you said was not the best in my opinion, it was really all the masks were useful and all the best. Only Matoro's and the Nuva Kaita were no competition from the other masks.
Mask of Ultimate Power, Mask of Creation, Mask of Corruption and Mask of Time Duplication all come to mind as potential candidates... Especially the latter three. Also, wouldn't the Calix basically have the same effect as the Aki Nuva? Maybe not the same level, but still...
I'm glad that the Vahi doesn't allow for time travel. Time travel is seriously one of the most cliche plot devices of all time. Hell, it was even used in Harry-fucking-Potter, which along with Bionicle was one of the most original stories of my childhood. Bottom line, time travel is bullshit, and I'm glad we never had to put up with it in this franchise!
The dimensional gate stuff was pushing it. Depending on how you consider the concept of "alternative dimensions", accessing different dimensions is essentially an extension of time travel.
I knew one of the shield masks would be near the top. That being said, I was surprised to find that the mask on the combined toa is actually supposed to be a different mask than the one tahu wears.
I think a good story explanation for why the masks of the Toa Mata/Toa Nuva era were so tame in comparison to some of the masks that came later is because they were just the most powerful versions of the common Matoran and Rahi masks laying around the island of Mata Nui. Once the story shifts away from the island of Mata Nui and into the greater Matoran Universe, that's when we get all the insane masks that came about from the innovation happening from the continuous conflict between the Order of Mata Nui and the Makuta.
Oh man this takes me back. I remember going down to the Toys R Us every couple of weeks with my allowance to buy one of the mask boxes. It took me two years to get a complete set of all the original Kanohi (all 49)! I was so disappointed that they never released the Mask of Time while I was collecting....
My personal favorite mask is the Crast. It's so many beneficial effects rolled into one. Wanna get somewhere fast? Repel yourself from the ground. A projectile being shot at you? Repel it. Enemy rushing you? Repel them. If I were transported into the Bionicle universe and allowed to pick one mask to use within, I would choose the Crast in a heartbeat.
Axonn's Kanohi Rode is one of my favorites. It was called a Great Mask in the Bionicle Heroes Trophy Room. I wonder why though... it didn't have much 'power' and may not be excellent in combat. Unless it was the only one of its kind. Otherwise, in the long run it would be better to see through deception. My #1 would have to be Nuparu Inika's Kiden! Fly Baby, Fly!!!
Cheers to Iruni and his Kualsi. Kongu zath is also great, and so is with Matau's Mahiki and Lewa's Miru. All hail the Toa of Air!!! Oh, can't forget the Kanohi Rua
I like how, for a moment, while talking about the Mask of Life, Ven becomes Kermit the Frog. Just a little, just for a second or two. Made me smile. Also, didn't think about the possibility of Brutaka visiting other LEGO universes, dimensions.. that stuff. I really wonder if Makuro himself isn't just a Turaga accidentally teleported to the HF universe sometimes. Just look at those robes.
My favourite kanohi is the huna, the mask of invisibility. Oh god how many freakin' things you can do with it, and how many freakin enemies you would defeat!
Here's an interesting idea: Top 10 Bionicle pieces of music. Music can be from anything with the Bionicle label, so that includes soundtracks from games and movies, any promotional releases and soundtracks from advertisements (like Cryoshell).
I think the Mask of Intangibility is pretty op. imagine you are in combat you would be intangible until you strike: your oponent wont be able to even tickle you
I don't think I would've put the Aki Nuva or Faxon as high as you did, but I can see why you placed them in first and third respectively. I also learned that the Iden allowed you to possess lifeless bodies from this, and that's pretty cool.
welp i have learn more masks today thanks ven also i like what ven did in this one and said about a few masks which just didnt make the cut or they didnt want to add in for some reasons. i hope this is somethign you uys do more becuase i really enjoyed it and it makes these really short videos a bit longer and more entertaining.
In a matter of fact that masks of Toa Mata and Toa Metru kept their names and abilities throughout their form changes, I'm pretty concerned that it happened in case of Toa Inika and Mahri as well, meaning that Matoro for e.g. had Kanohi Akaku or Iden all along.
Kanohi Garai actually allows Hewkii to access basically everything a Toa of Gravity can do, and that includes a freaking black hole! Kanohi Kualsi actually can only teleport to places a user can see at the moment, and cannot take people with them.
alright, i guess its time to reveal one of my latest ideas: a Bionicle fan comic. the basic idea is that 6 matoran, brought together by the irresistable force of "hey, we go who-knows-where to stop who-knows-who. wanna come along?", a.k.a. fate, search for an evil entity (maybe Teridax who somehow survived the destruction of the Matoran Universe, maybe by giving part of his antidermis to a Visorak and ordering it to sneak away) who stole something from one of them. it gets rather clear pretty fast that the thief learned a very valuable lesson from one of his former enemies and now wants to combine the powers of several Kanohi to travel through time and rewrite history. the thief already has the most important part for this plan, the Kanohi Vahi in his posession, so the matoran go after him to stop stuff from going down. somewhere along the line, the Kanohi Vahi transforms the matoran into toa (the working team name being Toa Vahi, which i probably gonna use in the end), so they can save it and all of existance (because, you know, alternate timelines go well until the point they were created, which is where they destroy one another). anyway, as you might know, im not the Bionicle production team (or am i?), so i need some help with the characters, the story, drawing the comic (mostly drawing), and so on and so forth. so basically, you could get your own character in the comic, and basically co-write the whole thing.
Was hoping to see Mohtrek and Avohkii on the list. Mohtrek allows you to have an instant army/workforce/show choir of yourselves - how cool is that? And Avohkii's powers can spare you a lot of fights, making friends out of your former enemies, not even talking about light powers, like lasers and such.
As far as powers go I do very much admire the olmak, but I also really like the Mahiki (matau's mask). It is the mask of illusion which gives the user the power to change form and cast other illusions such as multiple copies of themselves (as seen in the MNOLG animations).
My guesses for the list before watching: Classic Hau as #1, legendaries of light, life, and time somewhere in there as well. Since it's TTV, maybe the Miru, but since it's not Eljay, maybe not the Miru.
At least in terms of what masks I think are the most powerful, non-legendary masks, my list would be: 10. Calix 9. Olisi 8. Zatth 7. Felnas 6. Garai 5. Kakama 4. Faxon 3. Tryna 2. Mohtrek 1. Olmak All of these masks, while supposed to be at the same level as all the others, really are a step above in terms of raw power. While most masks are useful tools, these make their wears into 1-person armies, and shape the plot in ways way beyond the other normal masks
Eh, hi! I have one CD from 2006 maybe? Im not sure to be honest, but what I know is, they were giving those CDs for free. And on the CD is stored absolutely EVERYTHING about that times Bionicles. I mean everything- Story, TV spots, Wallpapers, Map of the Island(Interactive map :O) and even minigames. It's an original CD and it's working without problems. Do you guys think it has some value today? :)
Kody Prunella Oooh! Thanks for advices. But the only problem with CD is it has maybe non-changeable language, so it's not in english. And has some scratches on it, but is still running.
I think that the fused mask at #1 was interesting, but if fused masks are included then what about some thing like a dimensional gate, shielding, and teleportation combo or any other combination, or are only masks seen in the actual story allowed?
Whenua had a random Ruru that was powerless as a Matoran. Then his Ruru got transformd into a Great one. So he could see through walls, make his head into a flashlight, and see in the dark.
+hyzron Well, i would be happy with the Kualsi, as it would allow me to travel to, lets say, the top of Mt.Everest simply by looking at a picture of it (that goes as well, but not as easy). also, if someone were to climb the Mt.Everest, i would just go up there and do the old chinese grandmaster. you know, "I´ve been waiting for you." no wait, thats the stereotypical secret agent movie villain... anyway, if i could choose 3 masks, i would pick the Faxon, Kualsi and Jutlin. also, if i would be a matoran, i would most likely be a le-matoran, and i would try to get my hands on a Faxon or Kualsi, as toa find the Jutlin immoral. speaking of immoral masks, the Kanohi Ignika gave Matoro a Tryna to see if he would use it, as it chose him as potential new wearer but wasnt quite sure yet. seeing as it actually did what he wanted, i guess he passed the test.
I really wish we knew how strong it could make you. If it had no limit that would mean you could murder thousands to become impossibly agile/strong, but I'd reckon it just makes you have slightly above-average health.
Although its not been fully fleshed out, the mask of creation seems pretty OP. I mean, I can also raise an army of the dead, and probably much more. Its the most powerful of Okoto for a reason.
I have numbers 5 in green, 3, 2 and 1. Or at least the Hau Nuva. I have all 2015 versions of the Pikari and Kakama in gold, and the Hau in trans-orange.
No Kanohi Rode? I know everyone hates that mask, but it pretty powerful. It can see past the powers of the Mahiki, the Huna, the Voltak, and others, which gives a tactical advantage in combat. Not to mention it makes the people who fall victim to the mask tell the truth. Overall, if you come across someone wearing this mask, they're not a force to be reckoned with.
An Iden can inhabit any spiritless body? So it basically gives the wearer the abilities of a makuta in antidermis form? So could it theoretically be used to take over, say, a multi-thousand story tall giant robot with powers over lasers and gravity? Ex Mata Nui?
I honestly feel like Matoro is that one guy people don't mess with. Like that one quiet kid in the back, who's really screwed up.
Some of you guys are pretty cool. Don't go to Ko-koro tomorrow.
hes like an asian
Sounds like me👍
For a hero to have Necromancy powers, haven’t seen that since Aqworlds
@@nitzel9909his parents pressured him too much. They said he could only be doctor or lawyer and are very disappointed he became a toa instead

+Andy The Avohkii is very useful. In ways that are the bane of hacks like Greg Farshtey.

Avohkii is the mask of light, not understanding.
The worst mask ever(in terms of usage) is the Kaukau. It allows underwater breathing. You know what also allows underwater breathing? Silver tubes!
I think the Ruru is more useless than the Kaukau. Night vision is generally situational, honestly.
True
Sevenizer1 unlimited underwater breathing
SILVEH TOOBS YEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAA!!!!
Sevenizer1 Imagine if one of the toa Mahri got stuck with a kanohi kaukau. :P that'd be completely useless
now we need the 10 WORST masks
1. Miru
ltranc no 1- Mask of Charisma
Peucoman yes worst mask pkz
Zatth, Mask of Clairvoyance, and Mask of Fusion
Mask of underwater breathing.
So Basically Matoro have been surrounded by death since he became a Toa?

You should run because these people are very sensitive and are easily provoked
While not as powerful as most of the masks listed here, I always thought the Kakama and Kakama Nuva would be pretty OP, as Quicksilver shows us in "X-men Days Of Future Past." I can totally see Pohatu with headphones listening to Time In A Bottle recorded REALLY SLOW as he runs around being a boss.
***** but the kakama nuva does
godzillacc5 The Nuva masks just let the toa share their powers with other beings nearby. Still works the same way otherwise, no?
***** no, here is a description of the mask:
"[Gali] could feel some of the familiar effects of the Mask of Speed. Her reflexes had become lightning quick,the only thing making it possible for her maneuver at such high speed. Her vision was sharper. Objects that should have been just a blurr were sharp and clear to her."
+Jurgen Ronaaz yea mask of speed is my fav
I think the Kakama would have to specifically protect the user from the heat caused by the friction that comes with how fast the body is moving.
Leave me alone! Im tryna reanimate the whole bionicle series!

@@DuckandMikeyfan49 akaku isn't that good tho lel
I love how some are super situational, and some are so ridiculously powerful that said Toa wouldn't even need elemental powers to be OP.
Well, technically the Mask of Time can be used to Time Travel considering users can slow down or speed up time. But they can't go into the past.
You can go to the future but you can't go back to the present
A few suggestions (you don't have to do them if you don't want to)
Top ten Weapons
Top ten Rahi
Top ten Dark Hunters
Top ten Titans
Top ten Battles/fights
Oh my god I forgot you liked Bionicle
Waxon Flaxon Michael Jackson Faxon should be a mask in G2
Yes
G3*
So escencially Hewkii can potentially create black holes, damn that's op.
And slow down time. Mask of gravity would be mask of time + extra stuff. Greg wasn't good at physics.
electrocat1 Technically yes. But good ol' Greg didnt know that Gravity screws with time
The Aki War That's what I just said.
I thought black holes had to do with density, not gravity (though both are interconnected).
K-leb black wholes are not as dense as stars as it happens, but their gravitational field is so Goddamn strong that even light can't escape. Hence, they appear completely black. They aren't actually holes.
What about the kanohi miru eljay, the mask of being a jerk?
LOL
XD
Ha ha
Saul Alejandro May Hernandez This wasn't Eljay though, but if he had made the video, he'd probably have put it pretty high on the list :P
Lol.
Dam the first 3 are ice. That element would be pretty FIRE to have I guess
Shouldn't the golden masks from Toa Matas be the number one spot masks, if we count Aki Nuva as one mask.
Also, Kanohi Kraahkan for life!
Correct me if I'm wrong (and I probably am) but doesn't anything that dies in the Matoran Universe get sent to the Red Comet to be ressurected and sent back?

I disagree with No.1
It shouldn't even be on the list
You say the vahi can't time travel?
We'll just have to wait and see...
Maybe something went wrong in g1 when they tried to use it.
Toa of Darkness Yeah someone in the original universe messed up whilst using it and the G2 timeline came about.

+Toa Dartho We do not speak of the 2015 masks. Gen 1 is bae, and we don't want to hurt bae's feelings.

Welcome to the Internet, where not everything is meant to be taken seriously.
Plot twist matatro is responsive fur skull grinder.
Matatro? Go home ToD, ur drunk
Wait, matoro is responsible for skull grinder?
I'm glad that the Vahi doesn't allow for time travel. Time travel is seriously one of the most cliche plot devices of all time. Hell, it was even used in Harry-fucking-Potter, which along with Bionicle was one of the most original stories of my childhood. Bottom line, time travel is bullshit, and I'm glad we never had to put up with it in this franchise!
The dimensional gate stuff was pushing it.
Depending on how you consider the concept of "alternative dimensions", accessing different dimensions is essentially an extension of time travel.
Great list, the explanation for the Faxon was great, im surprised the Kraahkan didnt make the list tho
It attacked non-Makuta. It was kind of like the Ignika in that it would harm anyone it didn't deem a just wearer.
I knew one of the shield masks would be near the top.
That being said, I was surprised to find that the mask on the combined toa is actually supposed to be a different mask than the one tahu wears.
As I read that comment, the Tahu mask was mentioned in the video
1:38 “Ironic. He could save others from death, but NOT HIMSELF.”
Pretty solid choices (I'd have put the Olisi above the Aki Nuva, but that's okay). Now I wait for the top 10 weapons.
I think a good story explanation for why the masks of the Toa Mata/Toa Nuva era were so tame in comparison to some of the masks that came later is because they were just the most powerful versions of the common Matoran and Rahi masks laying around the island of Mata Nui.
Once the story shifts away from the island of Mata Nui and into the greater Matoran Universe, that's when we get all the insane masks that came about from the innovation happening from the continuous conflict between the Order of Mata Nui and the Makuta.
Oh man this takes me back. I remember going down to the Toys R Us every couple of weeks with my allowance to buy one of the mask boxes. It took me two years to get a complete set of all the original Kanohi (all 49)! I was so disappointed that they never released the Mask of Time while I was collecting....
My personal favorite mask is the Crast. It's so many beneficial effects rolled into one. Wanna get somewhere fast? Repel yourself from the ground. A projectile being shot at you? Repel it. Enemy rushing you? Repel them. If I were transported into the Bionicle universe and allowed to pick one mask to use within, I would choose the Crast in a heartbeat.
I guess you could say any Olmak user is...
*_... THINKING WITH PORTALS?_*
Axonn's Kanohi Rode is one of my favorites. It was called a Great Mask in the Bionicle Heroes Trophy Room. I wonder why though... it didn't have much 'power' and may not be excellent in combat. Unless it was the only one of its kind. Otherwise, in the long run it would be better to see through deception.
My #1 would have to be Nuparu Inika's Kiden! Fly Baby, Fly!!!
Cheers to Iruni and his Kualsi. Kongu zath is also great, and so is with Matau's Mahiki and Lewa's Miru. All hail the Toa of Air!!! Oh, can't forget the Kanohi Rua
i think a pretty underrated mask is the mask of aging. it sounds stupid at first, but when you really look into it, it's pretty fucked up
It didn't work to the same effect as Voporak's aging, though. It made them sluggish but didn't, say, disintegrate the target to dust.
The real mask that should be #1 is obe wan kanohi ( I know I probably spelt the first two words wrong)
Obe wan kanohi mask of force
I like how, for a moment, while talking about the Mask of Life, Ven becomes Kermit the Frog. Just a little, just for a second or two. Made me smile.
Also, didn't think about the possibility of Brutaka visiting other LEGO universes, dimensions.. that stuff. I really wonder if Makuro himself isn't just a Turaga accidentally teleported to the HF universe sometimes. Just look at those robes.
My favourite kanohi is the huna, the mask of invisibility. Oh god how many freakin' things you can do with it, and how many freakin enemies you would defeat!
oh, and also bacause it's vakama's mask. He was my first bionicle set
Lightsaber Phoenix you could sneak anywhere with the huna
Lightsaber Phoenix The Volitak is better. Same power but also conceals your sounds.
+xaayer Yeah, but i like both. using the Volitak for sneaking and the Huna for pranks. :)
Here's an interesting idea: Top 10 Bionicle pieces of music. Music can be from anything with the Bionicle label, so that includes soundtracks from games and movies, any promotional releases and soundtracks from advertisements (like Cryoshell).
So Hayden Christensen from the movie Jumper had the Kanoki Kualsi? LOL
Gianni Ottimista He must have had Kualsi Nuva! He did jump much further than his line of sight.
Ewan McGregor had the Mask of the High Ground in Revenge of the Sith
I'm gonna be honest, despite how much I love Bionicle, I never ones read the comics and I also completely forgot that the Masks had different powers.
What a cop out at the end. The Mask of Life deserves that number 1 spot because on how OP it is.
that explains how hewkii and nuparu survived that fall in the mahri commercial
I think the Mask of Intangibility is pretty op. imagine you are in combat you would be intangible until you strike: your oponent wont be able to even tickle you
One of the ta-matoran can teleport without looking at the target, and without a mask, but the mask is cool too.
I don't think I would've put the Aki Nuva or Faxon as high as you did, but I can see why you placed them in first and third respectively. I also learned that the Iden allowed you to possess lifeless bodies from this, and that's pretty cool.
welp i have learn more masks today thanks ven
also i like what ven did in this one and said about a few masks which just didnt make the cut or they didnt want to add in for some reasons. i hope this is somethign you uys do more becuase i really enjoyed it and it makes these really short videos a bit longer and more entertaining.
The #2 mask would be a good excuse for a crossover
I'm STILL very fond of these top tens, could you do top ten innovations in Bionicle? Like how lego managed to give KNEES. I'm talkin about the rakshi
In a matter of fact that masks of Toa Mata and Toa Metru kept their names and abilities throughout their form changes, I'm pretty concerned that it happened in case of Toa Inika and Mahri as well, meaning that Matoro for e.g. had Kanohi Akaku or Iden all along.
Kanohi Garai actually allows Hewkii to access basically everything a Toa of Gravity can do, and that includes a freaking black hole!
Kanohi Kualsi actually can only teleport to places a user can see at the moment, and cannot take people with them.
alright, i guess its time to reveal one of my latest ideas: a Bionicle fan comic. the basic idea is that 6 matoran, brought together by the irresistable force of "hey, we go who-knows-where to stop who-knows-who. wanna come along?", a.k.a. fate, search for an evil entity (maybe Teridax who somehow survived the destruction of the Matoran Universe, maybe by giving part of his antidermis to a Visorak and ordering it to sneak away) who stole something from one of them. it gets rather clear pretty fast that the thief learned a very valuable lesson from one of his former enemies and now wants to combine the powers of several Kanohi to travel through time and rewrite history. the thief already has the most important part for this plan, the Kanohi Vahi in his posession, so the matoran go after him to stop stuff from going down. somewhere along the line, the Kanohi Vahi transforms the matoran into toa (the working team name being Toa Vahi, which i probably gonna use in the end), so they can save it and all of existance (because, you know, alternate timelines go well until the point they were created, which is where they destroy one another). anyway, as you might know, im not the Bionicle production team (or am i?), so i need some help with the characters, the story, drawing the comic (mostly drawing), and so on and so forth. so basically, you could get your own character in the comic, and basically co-write the whole thing.
Sounds cool
Not Safe For Work Gaming Thanks. Anyway, if you are interested, there´s still a free spot. I just really need someone to draw the whole thing...
I always thought the Kanohi Olmak looked like some sort of futuristic spaceship.
Was hoping to see Mohtrek and Avohkii on the list. Mohtrek allows you to have an instant army/workforce/show choir of yourselves - how cool is that? And Avohkii's powers can spare you a lot of fights, making friends out of your former enemies, not even talking about light powers, like lasers and such.
I think in terms of coolness and function, Nuparu's Inika mask was one of the coolest. Very swaggy.
As far as powers go I do very much admire the olmak, but I also really like the Mahiki (matau's mask). It is the mask of illusion which gives the user the power to change form and cast other illusions such as multiple copies of themselves (as seen in the MNOLG animations).
the Kulasi would be one of the best masks to have in real life, as it would make life so much easier
JDeO1997 ikr, mountains would be the best thing ever.
The Kanohi Garai: It's craaaaazy.
Kanohi helmet garai
my favorite mask by far is the kanohi olmak just the idea behind and the look of it is realy cool
I guess you could say that Brutaka (not sure if I spelled that correctly) is THINKING WITH PORTALS!
**Ba dum tish.**
My favourites are the kanohi Aki nuva and Olisi and faxon and garai and tryna and iden and the olmak and shelek and the vahi and the kanohi kualsi.
Kanohi Kakama is my favorite :)
Which is also one of the reasons why Pohatu is my favorite toa.
My guesses for the list before watching: Classic Hau as #1, legendaries of light, life, and time somewhere in there as well. Since it's TTV, maybe the Miru, but since it's not Eljay, maybe not the Miru.
At least in terms of what masks I think are the most powerful, non-legendary masks, my list would be:
10. Calix
9. Olisi
8. Zatth
7. Felnas
6. Garai
5. Kakama
4. Faxon
3. Tryna
2. Mohtrek
1. Olmak
All of these masks, while supposed to be at the same level as all the others, really are a step above in terms of raw power. While most masks are useful tools, these make their wears into 1-person armies, and shape the plot in ways way beyond the other normal masks
The Kanohi Garai actually gives it's wearer the elemental power of gravity, not just increasing or decreasing a target's gravitational pull
In terms of looks, I've always liked Hahli Mahri's. The Phantoka Miru is a close second since it is rather similar.
You didnt include the mask of creation...
why?
I don't think it was seen officially, at least I dont fully know what it does
Imagine using the Kanohi Aki Nuva to run, jump, and shield your way into orbit in and around the Bionicle Solar System.
I was addicted to this fucking channel in 2018
Eh, hi! I have one CD from 2006 maybe? Im not sure to be honest, but what I know is, they were giving those CDs for free. And on the CD is stored absolutely EVERYTHING about that times Bionicles. I mean everything- Story, TV spots, Wallpapers, Map of the Island(Interactive map :O) and even minigames. It's an original CD and it's working without problems.
Do you guys think it has some value today? :)
+Martin Jaroš either keep it, or give it to a bionicle historian, it can be an important artifact
Kody Prunella Oooh! Thanks for advices. But the only problem with CD is it has maybe non-changeable language, so it's not in english. And has some scratches on it, but is still running.
I love how 10 to 8 was all ice toa
I think that the fused mask at #1 was interesting, but if fused masks are included then what about some thing like a dimensional gate, shielding, and teleportation combo or any other combination, or are only masks seen in the actual story allowed?
That seems like a theme for matoro where he gets occult masks.
Random question that just came to me. Why would Whenua wear a mask of night vision if he already has night vision with his elemental powers?
Whenua had a random Ruru that was powerless as a Matoran.
Then his Ruru got transformd into a Great one.
So he could see through walls, make his head into a flashlight, and see in the dark.
XD, the Kualsi is probably my new favorite mask. I mean, instead of taking the bus to school, I can just teleport there!
The Kanohi Olmak is a cool mask for sure. :)
I WANT IT XD
TheBrickRookie I always thought it looked like some sort of futuristic spaceship.
Garry Dumblowski? Yup. :)
TheBrickRookie i would just goto a uninhabited dimension and create my own universe if that were possible
+hyzron Well, i would be happy with the Kualsi, as it would allow me to travel to, lets say, the top of Mt.Everest simply by looking at a picture of it (that goes as well, but not as easy). also, if someone were to climb the Mt.Everest, i would just go up there and do the old chinese grandmaster. you know, "I´ve been waiting for you." no wait, thats the stereotypical secret agent movie villain...
anyway, if i could choose 3 masks, i would pick the Faxon, Kualsi and Jutlin.
also, if i would be a matoran, i would most likely be a le-matoran, and i would try to get my hands on a Faxon or Kualsi, as toa find the Jutlin immoral.
speaking of immoral masks, the Kanohi Ignika gave Matoro a Tryna to see if he would use it, as it chose him as potential new wearer but wasnt quite sure yet. seeing as it actually did what he wanted, i guess he passed the test.
Now you're thinking with portals, Brutaka...
What's the music you guys use for these top 10s? I've tried looking all over for it without much success.
I ask the same question!
The Mask of Silence from the Makuta and the Mask of Timeduplication from Bitil are realy OP and Onewas Mask of Mindcontroll also heavy.
The Faxxon is a beast! Imagine if a Krakha were nearby.... You can have the powers of anything you've ever seen if you keep a pet Krakha, for example/
Mine's a tie between the Avohkii(Mask of Light) and the Huna(Mask of Concealment)
Wow finally I have been waiting for this top ten
The "Kanohi Huna" is probably my favorite mask!
Just imagine a mask of scavenging on a battlefield...
I really wish we knew how strong it could make you. If it had no limit that would mean you could murder thousands to become impossibly agile/strong, but I'd reckon it just makes you have slightly above-average health.
@@user-gq4gq3qv4u now I wanna see a villian who used that and slaughtered a buncha peeps to become unstoppable
Although its not been fully fleshed out, the mask of creation seems pretty OP. I mean, I can also raise an army of the dead, and probably much more. Its the most powerful of Okoto for a reason.
Damn, the foreshadowing of matoro's masks being related to the dead and spirits..
Hey TTV, about the kanohi Iden, when the user's spirit left the body, what will happen to the mask?
I have numbers 5 in green, 3, 2 and 1. Or at least the Hau Nuva.
I have all 2015 versions of the Pikari and Kakama in gold, and the Hau in trans-orange.
I thought the ignika or Tahu’s mask would be #1 but of coarse they BOTH get the honorable mention
I wish the solid black Garai was obtainable :/
No Kanohi Rode? I know everyone hates that mask, but it pretty powerful. It can see past the powers of the Mahiki, the Huna, the Voltak, and others, which gives a tactical advantage in combat. Not to mention it makes the people who fall victim to the mask tell the truth. Overall, if you come across someone wearing this mask, they're not a force to be reckoned with.
An Iden can inhabit any spiritless body? So it basically gives the wearer the abilities of a makuta in antidermis form? So could it theoretically be used to take over, say, a multi-thousand story tall giant robot with powers over lasers and gravity? Ex Mata Nui?
@ 2:34 - Didn't someone make a Half Life 2 mod based on that mask? Maybe it's a different game, but I remember playing that in 2006.
