Set Information

Onua was revealed on October 9th, 2014 at New York Comic Con during the BIONICLE panel, and was officially released in January 2015. The set contains 108 pieces, including two Masks of Earth and a green Skull Spider.

Like most other early 2015 sets, the back of the set's packaging depicts a short comic featuring Onua and the Protector of Earth. The comic advertises the feature of combining the set with 70781 Protector of Earth to create a "powered-up" Onua. Both of these sets were included in collection 5004466 Protector of Earth – Power Up, to create the aforementioned model. A second combination model using the same sets was featured in the iOS version of BIONICLE: Mask of Creation. However, instructions were never released.

Features

By turning a knob on Onua's back, his arms can be swung in opposite directions.

The head of the Earthquake Hammer can be split apart to create the Turbo Shovelers. The remaining top part of the hammer can be fitted onto a short axle when the Turbo Shovelers are being wielded.

Collectibles

The set includes the Mask of Earth, the Golden Mask of Earth, and a light green Skull Spider.
