Here's a question: would it be possible for a Toa of Psionics to absorb thought, "blanking out" the mind of her opponent and making it harder to think?
Sir Thomas of Black FalconBlue and gold's kinda mediocre, I mean blue is already used for water, so it'd be slightly hard to distinguish a Ce-Toa from a Ga-Toa that's wearing gold armor....
Ya, that's what I was thinking. Like say, Gaaki is wearing gold armor like Iruini.
Also, If a toa of psionics was wearing a Suletu, Matatu, Mahiki, or a Komau, would this greatly increase the power of the toa?
I wasn't expecting colors or Matoran info, very nice.
Although I'm not used to having a Toa who's basically a Kanohi hodge-podge. Correct me if I'm wrong, but a Toa with a Suva and a Matatu, Suletu, Volitak, Mahiki and Komau would be able to do pretty much everything a Toa of Psionics could, only better, right? (Better because of no "organic only" limitations and the Komau beats hypnosis.) Don't get me wrong, I know that in actual practice most Toa don't devote themselves to gathering a Kanohi collection, so it's unlikely you'd find a Toa like that, but still.

Better than a Toa of Gravity. They're hodgepodges of exactly one mask. The Mask of Gravity.

Isn't that what renders them useful, though? If you have a Toa that can do all of those things, you wouldn't need the masks.

And if you have a Suva and the masks, you wouldn't need the element. :3
I would prefer the Suva in theory, but not being a Toa...
Telekinesis seems to be the oddball in the powers. I mean, most of those could probably be explained by some sort of brain wave thing messing with the foe's brain. Not sure telekinesis fits in with that.
Brutaka is not a Toa, so I don't think that's relevant. Skopio is red, that doesn't mean we can't have red Toa.
Yes, you could duplicate many of the things this Toa can do wit a variety of masks, but you have to be able to constantly switch masks in the midst of battle to do that. What if, as a non-Psionics Toa, you simply don't have time to do that?
As for the Toa of Gravity -- actually, the potential exists for elemental masks of any of the elements. You could put on a Mask of Fire and do much of what Tahu does, does that mean we don't need Toa of Fire in story? No, because a Toa of the element is going to be better able to control it than another Toa just wearing a mask.

I wonder if the "mind blast" would be powerful enough to kill someone. I mean, Jaller died from fear energy...
