The Exo-Toa are suits of armor created on order of the Brotherhood of Makuta by the Nynrah Ghosts.
[carve] History
[carve] Brotherhood of Makuta
The Exo-Toa were designed by the Nynrah Ghosts for the Brotherhood of Makuta, and manufactured by the Vortixx on the island of Xia. The Brotherhood used them for two purposes: to guard against a premature release of the Bohrok, and to guard the fortresses of the Brotherhood.
An Exo-Toa was used as a test subject by Chirox to test the Makuta's ability to possess robots after discovering their evolution. This suit was broken by Mutran.
Several Exo-Toa were used in the raid on Artakha by Makuta Kojol. The island's inhabitants were defenseless against them, and Kojol was able to depart from his ship and take the Kanohi Avohkii from Artakha's fortress. Those particular Exo-Toa were destroyed by the Order of Mata Nui soon afterward along with Kojol and the Visorak and Rahkshi who took part in the raid as part of the purge of all who knew of the island's location.
When the Brotherhood turned evil, they used the remaining Exo-Toa and Fohrok along with the Visorak swarms in an attempt to conquer the Matoran universe.
During their raid on the Brotherhood fortress, Norik and Iruini encountered and destroyed many Exo-Toa acting as sentries for the Brotherhood of Makuta's fortress at Destral. After the Hagah defeated Teridax and were mutated, the Brotherhood had more made by the Vortixx.
When the Great Cataclysm struck rubble from Destral's fortress crushed an unnamed Makuta's armor. The Makuta's energy was placed inside of an Exo-Toa until the armor could be repaired.
Exo-Toa were utilized by the Brotherhood of Makuta alongside Rahkshi in defense of the Order of Mata Nui's surprise attacks on their strongholds as a part of their war against them.
[carve] Bohrok Nest
The Toa Mata later encountered these machines deep in the caverns of Mata Nui during the Bohrok War. They placed the forty-eight Krana that they had gathered in the slots in the floor of a circular room in the nest, which activated the doors around the room's walls. The Toa entered to discover the Exo-Toa, which they then used in an attempt to defeat the two Bahrag. However, Tahu realized that the Exo-Toa hindered their Elemental Powers and the Toa shed their armored suits.
When the Toa Nuva later went back to stop the Bohrok-Kal from freeing the Bahrag from their Toa Seal, they found the Exo-Toa on autopilot, fighting the Bohrok-Kal, although they met with failure. The six elite Bohrok destroyed the Exo-Toa. When the Bohrok-Kal's powers were overloaded and were destroyed by their own powers, the parts of the broken Exo-Toa were magnetized to Gahlok-Kal, crushing it.
After Turaga Vakama told the Toa Nuva about the city of Metru Nui, the Onu-Matoran inventor Nuparu secretly salvaged pieces of the Exo-Toa and brought these pieces to Metru Nui. He planned to study them, but unfortunately for him, he was unable to do this because events forced him to leave Metru Nui before he got a chance.
[carve] Weapons
The Exo-Toa have two weapons: a boxing claw on one arm that can extend and deal a powerful blow and an electro-rocket on the other hand, which has great power.
[carve] Set Information
The Exo-Toa was released as a set in summer of 2002, containing 360 pieces. Squeezing its right arm made that arm's claw shoot forward, while its left arm was fitted with a blunt shooter. A gear on its back retracted the robotic head so a Toa Mata could enter through the front, which opened with a small lever. The Exo-Toa set was designed specifically to be donned by Toa Tahu's set forms, both Toa Mata and original Toa Nuva incarnations; as a result Gali, Lewa, and Kopaka sets could also combine without problems (Pohatu and Onua could combine with minor adjustments made). The Exo-Toa set also included instructions for an alternate model of a robotic steed.
