Vahki were mechanical order-enforcers, utilized on Metru Nui before the Great Cataclysm. The Vahki came in six models, one for each Metru, and would patrol in squads consisting of six to eight members.

[carve] History

The Vahki were designed by Nuparu to serve as Metru Nui's law enforcers after the Kralhi turned out to be a failure. They were under the direct command of Turaga Dume.

When Teridax impersonated Turaga Dume, the Vahki thought he was as he said he was: Turaga Dume. Teridax used them to kidnap all the Matoran and put them in Matoran Spheres. There were 5,000 Vahki at this point.

One of the many side effects of the Great Cataclysm was the transformation of the Vahki. When Teridax absorbed all the power from the Coliseum's power generator, it caused an energy feedback that ran through the entire city. A large number of Vahki were hooked up to recharging cradles in their hives when this happened; the feedback destroyed some of them. Those that weren't destroyed had the noticeable change of a uniform pattern of scorch marks on their cranium shells where the cradle power cables had been hooked up. But there were other changes. Vahki spoke Matoran before the Cataclysm, only at such a high speed and pitch that no Matoran could hear them, let alone understand. The feedback affected their speech centers, causing it to slow down, so that they could be heard and understood. They also could reassemble themselves after being destroyed, but were no longer capable of flight. In addition, the power level of their staffs was boosted to extremely high levels, so that they caused physical damage instead of just affecting their victims mentally. Also, the Vahki became convinced that the only way to completely enforce order in Metru Nui was to destroy every living creature in the city.

When the Visorak army overran Metru Nui, they destroyed all the Vahki in the city.

Currently, there are no Vahki in operation anywhere on Metru Nui, and it is believed that the Matoran will not manufacture any new ones.

Each Vahki had multiple abilities and tools. They could teleport and launch Kanoka disks (from storehouses in their hubs) from their "mouths," their type-specific stun staffs could be fired at a target to render it more or less helpless, as well as transform into two different modes for transportation, a four-legged form, in which their staffs acted as forelegs, and an aerodynamic flight mode. Vahki were generally poor swimmers, the only one designed to withstand time under water being Bordakh.

Vahki could not speak normal Matoran. Instead, they communicated with ultrasonic signals. These signals, which were actually Matoran at a high speed and pitch, could only be understood by other Vahki and Turaga Dume, due to a special technology in Dume's chamber at the Coliseum.

The parts of a Vahki were forged in Ta-Metru, then transfered to Po-Metru for assembly. There, there were two different construction areas: one for fitting larger parts together, the other for installing the Vahki's clockwork mechanisms into their skull casings.

[carve] Basic Vahki

The six basic types of Vahki are:

[carve] Elite Vahki

These two elite Vahki types are used for special circumstances, which require more skill than a normal Vahki.

[carve] Set Information

The Vahki were released as sets in late 2004 in the US and in early 2004 elsewhere. Each Vahki set contained 33 pieces including its two staffs and a Kanoka disk that corresponded with the Metru of that Vahki. By pivoting the head, arms, and legs, one could convert the Vahki from two-legged mode to four-legged mode and vice-versa. When in two-legged mode a gear on the back could be turned to make the Vahki swing its staffs back and forth. Later Vahki sets came packaged with a gold Kanohi Vahi and the Disk of Time. The Kranua and Kraahu were combiners of the sets, the former being made from the Nuurakh, Vorzakh, Rorzakh sets, and the latter being constructed from the Bordakh, Keerakh, and Zadakh sets.
