2Simple. The MU characters do not have hands with fingers (see the movies) and from the shot of Takua grabbing his kolhii staff in Mask of Light, it appears they grab things via magnetism.

2No. The RS is not designed to revive Makuta.

1I think I read something you said about toa stones requiring the target matoran to have latent toa energies?

2How do toa know which matoran to give the toa stones to?

3But in the movies they had fingers. Also several times in the books fingers are described.

4Sorry, you're right. But the sets don't have fingers, neither did the characters in the comics or in the CGI animations based off the sets. As for the books they had to be set in the movie universe because the book series incldued in the movie novelizations. That is why the books also reflected the masks showing emotion, when they didn't do so anywhere else. We did, however, see Takua grasp his kolhii staff without initially touching it in a film -- it simply flies into his hand -- which speaks to how it was being done in all other media.

1Hello!

2Another question: does the Golden Armour only give Tahu the powers of Kraata that he destroys, or of any being that he destroys?

1If Lhikan sacrificed his toa power to make toa stones it means he has fullfilled his destiny. Now he has acompished many Things during his time as a Toa... so what exactly was Lhikan's destiny ?

1Hi greg, I'm going to ask again. Was Spinax's detecting abilities enhanced, decreased or was it stayed the same due to the mutagen?

11. Then how come in BIONICLE Stars, Tahu, Takanuva, Nektann, and the rahkshi had fingers?

22. Several websites say that there is a Ninjago character named "Seiliel" or something. WHo is this? And is this character real?
