"His fall became a controlled glide. His aero slicers caught the wind, acting like wings."

Aero Slicers
Tool
Users Toa Metru Matau
Function Channeling his Air powers
Flying
Melee combat
Status Transformed


The Aero Slicers[1][2][3][4][5] (alternatively written as Aero-Slicers[note 1][6]) were Toa Matau's Toa Tools. When Matau became a Toa Hordika, they were mutated into Fang Blades. When Keetongu cured the Toa Hordika, along with Matau, the Fang Blades transformed into their original state. The Aero Slicers were transformed into the Kau Kau Staff when Matau became a Turaga.[7][8][9]

Functionality

Matau used the Aero Slicers to channel his element of Air, as well as in melee combat. Matau was also able to attach his Aero Slicers to his back to use them as glider wings and rotors.

Example Usage

An Aero Slicer in Legends of Metru Nui

In Legends of Metru Nui, Matau used these blades to fly as he was plummeting from a Ko-Metru Chute support after he slipped from Vakama's grasp.

Set Information

The Aero Slicers debuted in set form in the Toa Matau set in 2004. They could be attached to pins on Matau's back to simulate their gliding function. When on his back they were also able to fold back for storage.
