Talk:Hafu
The picture of Hafu shown for his Metru Nui form looks like Ahkmou, right down to the Kanohi Rau, do we have confirmation that it is actually Hafu in the image?
- It's from Onewa's CD - presumably, his dialogue box introduces him as Hafu. Strange, isn't it? --Angel Bob (talk) 04:46, 2 May 2017 (CET)
- It is almost surely an error, but I believe Greg at some point confirmed it as Hafu's actual Metru Nui reference. Master Inika (Talk) 05:45, 2 May 2017 (CET)
- If he wasn't mentioned by name (according to recent edit, if i'm reading that correctly) then how do we know that was him that talked to onewa? Intelligence4 (talk) 07:47, 6 May 2017 (CET)
- A fan asked Greg about Hafu's CD design appearance, and he said he didn't design the CD content. IN the CD the matoran's white box says he is Hafu. — Surel—Nuva (Talk) 08:41, 6 May 2017 (CET)
- And to my last edit, I know it's vira in the book, because the book matoran's text matches with vira's text from the cd. Maybe, the CD design could not afford to have another slot/page which is outside of the station, so the designers merged the 2 scenes. — Surel—Nuva (Talk) 09:23, 6 May 2017 (CET)
nice detective work on that Intelligence4 (talk) 22:40, 7 May 2017 (CET)
Can I add "Hammer" as a tool in his diminished form, considering he has one on a statue he made and that he is seen carrying it in MNOG when you see the statue? Firespitter Lhii (talk) 19:13, 26 April 2022 (UTC)
Tools and Mask
For some reason, this page doesn't feature a masks or tools section in the Abilities and Traits section, which is standard practice for Matoran if I'm not mistaken. Furthermore, there is no citation that he wore a Rau on Metru Nui. His appearance very much could be an error, and the disk is not accurate/canon outside of corroberating other sources. Unless we can find the a source from Lego or Greg saying this is or is not how Hafu appeared while on Metru Nui, this should either be removed, limited to trivia, or kept with the inclusion of notes on his info box that this may have been a mistake. I know that saying it IS something else or even to a degree saying that this even MIGHT be and error could be considered somewhat speculative, I feel this is too big an oversight. If we keep the image and the Rau in his infobox, we should at least cite the disk. Firespitter Lhii (talk) 21:17, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- You're right, we should cite the disk, and there should be a tools section. I agree that his appearance is likely an oversight -- he's literally just the Ahkmou model, as if they just forgot to edit it, where as the other Matoran like Kapura appear to be based on Peter Mack's notes. Given that we don't have any statements on it though, I'd go with the Rau for now. ~ Wolk (talk) 22:14, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
- Checking other pages -- The Voya/Mahri/Kardatoran seem to go into their tools, while most of the Mata Nui Matoran appear to do so. Only a few them, such as Kopeke and Nuhrii, seem to go over their mask. I would be alright with us doing so more in general. Noting occupation tools (such as Hafu's pickaxe) or bags, I think would be good too. ~ Wolk (talk) 22:59, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
