These six brave and resourceful Matoran are the only ones still free on the island of Voya Nui. They have banded together to fight the evil Piraka and regain control of their homeland!

8722 Kazi

A keeper of secrets, Kazi is the only one of the Matoran with an idea why the Piraka are really on the island. He carries twin echo forks - when slammed together, they produce a devastating sound wave.

8721 Velika

This Po-Matoran makes most of the more complex devices used by the resistance. He speaks in riddles and epigrams, which drives some of the others crazy. Carries twin power carvers.

8726 Dalu

The resistance's best warrior, Dalu tends to solve problems with her fists. Her twin chargers enable her to increase one attribute of a target temporarily (strength, speed, etc.), though it drains her to do it.

8723 Piruk

Stealthy and quick, Piruk is the resistance group's best spy, sneaking into the Piraka stronghold to get information. His shredder claws are capable of ripping through solid metal.

8724 Garan

Leader of the Matoran resistance movement. His twin pulse bolt generators fire a ball of energy that grows in strength the further it travels.

8725 Balta

Garan's best friend and a very resourceful inventor. When crossed, his twin repellers block any attack, causing the attacker to be hit with an equal force.
