Description Considering the popularity of my Bionicle sketches from
highschool. I decided to do a new redesign one of my
favorite childhood characters, Kopaka, to develop a better
digital skill set.

This however turned into a series of bionicle related pieces.
The other 5 Toa redesigns: [link]

My artwork is "head-canon" and any innovations
I make are not meant to anger or upset.


When I was a kid I disliked the movie designs. I always
pictured the Bionicle characters looking tough and realistic.
God forbid I mention Michael Bay but I tried to give the Toa
a movie style makeover with the Transformers movie and
its adult audience in mind.

My take on them was emphasizing the biomechanical.
My definition being "organisms naturally occurring in nature that
evolved resembling machines with a base element of iron, silicon,
or another metal." Much like the Silicon monster in Star Trek.
Evolved rather than being built by another race. Much in contrast
to post 2003 Farshtey canon:

Lol, gotta love head-canon.

Because Kopaka is just one of those kinds ofΒ characters that is just two steps ahead of everyone else.Β This guy is Team Matas' XO (2nd-in-command), took on 36 Zyglak single-handedly (Zyglak are known to be stronger than even a Toa on their own, and Kopaka just took down three-dozen of them before joining with Team Mata in stasis!), Kopaka is also favorite of THE Greg Farshtey: the author of the Bionicle Universe!

Because, as we all know, Kopaka is best Toa.

I think you mistook him for Matoro; the greatest Toa of them all. (That aside, Kopaka's awesome in his own right. I mean, curbstomping three Rahkshi!? Hell fucking yes.)

>The two physically strongest members of the Nuva couldn't take three Rahkshi
>It took Lewa and Tahu to bring down two, and that was primarily because it's hard to fight a friggin tornado.
>Tahu and Gali couldn't stop three Rahkshi.
>Kopaka 1v3s them and wins
>Kopaka also took on like 6 once and by the time the others showed up to help 2 Rahkshi were down.

Alright, Kopaka for best Toa Nuva. That works, right?

Onua the wisest is the wisest Toa Nuva, and Tahu is the most determined, Β but Kopaka is the smartest.

Gali's the most peaceful, Pohatu's definitely the most cheerful, and Lewa is the most mischievous.Β
