I recently found a series on YouTube that I have fallen in love with called Bionicle Revised, a fan made retelling of the Bionicle story with the pure focus on telling the story without the need of Marketing, so they change parts of the story generally for the better, but one thing I feel they missed out on was the Bohrok Kal arc. The Bohrok Kal could be considered filler villains who ultimately don't matter in the grander scheme of the story who were just a copy of the Bohrok cause they sold really well and they needed something to keep people's attention between the Bohrok arch and The Mask of Light. In Practice the Bohrok Kal actually had some really good parts to their story. The Kal were the first villains that the Toa fought who were individuals instead of a hoard, and made the conflict feel personal. It also included the introduction of the Mask of Time into the story, and a personal moment of growth on Tahu's part where he gets called out for almost throwing his life away pointlessly trying to just tough his way through a wall of Burning Plasma and realizes he can't go through life being reckless and unafraid to die. So I thought if the main problem was that they are Bohrok again...what if they weren't Bohrok?

Part of what makes the Kal so fun is just how much they antagonize the Toa. The reason the Kal are there in the first place is because the Toa sealed the Bahrag Queens in a Crystalized Protodermis Seal, but the Toa didn't know that the Bahrag and Bohrok swarms play a vital role in the process of reviving Mata Nui. What if instead of being Bohrok themselves, the Kal were covert field agents of the secret Order of Mata Nui doing the dirty work behind the scenes all for the sake of Mata Nui. Then they overhear that the Toa sealed the Bahrag actively interfering with a vital process of Mata Nui's revival and collectively decide to go against protocol to free the Bahrag, but also they have a personal grudge with these Toa specifically.

The main Toa Team were sealed away for thousands of years only to be released in Mata Nui's greatest time of need to be the Elite Emergency Revival Team, however so far they have not been doing a very good job at that. Over the thousands of years they were stuck in stasis pods, their bodies have gotten weaker, they lost their memories, and the pods malfunctioned so when they were meant to be deployed they actually were left adrift at see for about a thousand years unable to do anything. Then after arriving it's understandable that they were lost and confused, but to the Kal it looks like they are just bumbling idiots who are making things worse and now getting in the way. Meanwhile the Kal in this telling have been active in the universe the entire time doing the thankless jobs that needed to be done, all for the sake of Mata Nui and have grown jealous of to their perspective the undeserved praise of Toa, and then had enough when they stop the Bohrok swarm, so they decide to go up and make themselves known, and try to replace the Toa, but like the originals they are also arrogant and get done in by their own lust for power driving them to forgo their duty for selfish gain.

To further emphasize that the Kal are meant to be discount Toa, I decided to make them a Prototype version of the Exo Toa drones that act automatously and can drain the elemental energies from other beings like the Toa to empower their own elemental powers. I didn't draw all 6 of them cause they would roughly look the same: Red = Lightning Blue = Magnetism Green = Vacuum Brown = Plasma White = Sonics Black = Gravity

I wanted to try building a Timak-sized Exo-Toa, which was interesting because I don't think I've ever owned the actual exo toa set. How'd I do?

[sims-tec]

The Exo-Toa is an autonomous set of power armor used by the Brotherhood of Makuta as a foot soldier. As the name implies, it can be worn by Toa or similar sized beings, with the caveat of the former being unable to use their elemental powers due to a design flaw. The clothing is non-morphable, unisex, teen to elder, everyday, formal, sleep, athletic, swim, outerwear, career, and maternity. There's also a statue added in the buy mode rooftop decor and edit town landmarks. The suit and statue are base game. Also included are plumbot parts, which require into the future. The majority of the assets used come from legend of mata nui, but the chest plate and head crest come from the Bohrok Pahrak from bionicle heroes. Swatches for the suit and plumbot chest include the brotherhood of makuta, the three virtues, a golden hau, and the kanohi ignika. Please enjoy!

Ok so like exo toa are autonomous sentinels that also serve as mecha suits? and there's just a couple in storage in the Bahrag's hive?

Why????

are they to keep people from poking the bahrag?

Are they there to keep the bohrok from cleaning the GSR's insides???

And since they're used extensively in makuta armies... maybe they were sent by Teridax to keep the bahrag from sending messages into the GSR to ask "WHAT THE KARZAHNI IS UP WITH THESE CRAZY TOA?"
