The Ice Shield was a Toa Tool carried by Toa Kopaka.

While a Toa Mata, Kopaka carried a shield with an arrangement of holes in it, creating a web pattern. Toa Kaita Wairuha also wielded this shield in his left hand.

After receiving his Adaptive Armor, Kopaka abandoned his Ice Shield.

Functionality

Although used defensively, the shield could also be used to channel Kopaka's Ice Elemental Powers, though he preferred to use his sword.

When Kopaka was transformed into a Toa Nuva by Energized Protodermis, his Ice Shield was changed too, becoming larger and of a solid design. Kopaka Nuva's Ice Shield is strong enough to deflect Fragmentation energy.

Kopaka was able to ride his shield in both his Mata and Nuva forms, so that he could use his Ice Sword or Ice Blade while traveling at high speeds.

Example Usage

Takua and Jaller riding on the Ice Shield in Mask of Light

In Tale of the Toa, Kopaka tried to block a rockslide with his Ice Shield, that was accidentally triggered by Pohatu when they first met.

In Mask of Light, Takua and Jaller used Kopaka Nuva's Ice Shield as a snowboard to try to escape the Rahkshi during their quest to find the seventh Toa.

Set Information

Two Ice Shields were released; one in the 2001 set 8536 Kopaka, and another version in the 2002 set 8571 Kopaka Nuva.
