Rhotuka Launching Shields are special weapons wielded by Toa, including the Toa Hagah previously assigned to guard Makuta Teridax, used both for defense and for launching Rhotuka. Unlike the standard Rhotuka Launchers, the shields are able to generate two Rhotuka at the same time.[2]
When the Toa Hagah were transformed into Rahaga, their shields were transformed into mounted Rhotuka Launchers.[3][4][5] The launchers later regained their shield forms when Roodaka transformed the Rahaga back into Toa.[6][7]
Example Usage
In Dwellers In Darkness, Norik used his Rhotuka Launching Shield to fire his slowness spinner at the Kanohi Dragon.
Set Information
In the Special Edition Toa Hagah sets, the shields included two places for Rhotuka. The top half of the shield constituted the actual launcher, fitted with an Elementally-colored Spinner. The bottom half held an inactive Rhotuka that matched the shield's metallic color.
Trivia
- Some copies of 8762 Toa Iruini and 8763 Toa Norik included a mismolded version of the shield in which the center pinhole was surrounded with excess plastic. As a result, the launcher could not operate correctly. These copies later included additional notes to attach the shield backwards, so the spinners can be launched properly.
