Ideas for Replacing File:Image-request.png

File:Image-request.png is a blank picture frame, which isn't BIONICLE-related at all. Here are some images we could replace it with:

Better Image

BIONICLEsector01:Sandbox is in need of improvement.
You can help the wiki by uploading a better version.

Deputy Toa

A Deputy Toa is the second-in-command of a Toa team. They serve as confidantes to their team leaders and fulfill the role themselves when their leaders are unavailable.

Known Toa

Kopaka, the deputy leader of the Toa Nuva
Nokama led the Toa Hordika during Vakama's defection

Trivia

  • While most of the Toa team leaders are Toa of Fire, Toa deputies have represented many different elements.
  • Lesovikk was the overall commander of the Toa Cordak,[1] while Nikila was considered as the tactical leader.[1]

The subject of this article has not been officially named. The term "Sandbox" either reflects how the subject has been referred to in-story or is an unofficial name popular among fans.

Users Toa Hagah
Function Melee combat

Various individual powers
Status In use



The Toa Hagah Spears were specialized Toa Tools used by the Toa Hagah. The Hagah received them along with metallic armor as part of their elite status.[2] Like all Toa weapons, they could be used for melee combat and channeling their Toa's Elemental Powers, but each spear also had an additional power.

When the Hagah were mutated by Roodaka into the Rahaga, these tools were transformed into smaller staffs with different powers.[2][3][4] They were restored to their original forms when Roodaka reversed the mutations.[5][6]

Status Out of use


The Stun Staffs were the primary weapons that the Vahki used to fight crime in Metru Nui. Each Vahki carried two staffs. The tools were designed not to injure or kill their Matoran targets. Rather, they affected targets' minds in temporary ways to discourage further lawbreaking and to encourage work.[10]

The Great Cataclysm sent a power surge through the Vahki Hives, destroying most Vahki and their Stun Staffs. Those staffs that where not destroyed were supercharged and could fire destructive energy blasts.[citation needed] The surviving Vahki were all later eliminated by the Visorak.[10]
