'''Exo-Toa''' were special suits of powered armor invented by the [[Nynrah Ghosts]] engineers. [[Toa]] and other similarly-sized beings could wear and control them, or they could be programmed to act on their own as robotic sentries.

==History==
'''Exo-Toa''' were special suits of powered armor that were invented by the [[Nynrah Ghosts]]. [[Toa]] could wear and control them, or they could be programmed to act on their own. Each Exo-Toa was equipped with a claw arm, an Electro rocket, and could enhance the strength of the Toa wearing it by several times. However, it also blocked the Elemental powers of its wearer.

After the [[Makuta (Species)|Makuta]] species evolved from biomechanical form to a purely gaseous state, [[Chirox]] took over an Exo-Toa to "demonstrate" to [[Mutran]] the new powers [[antidermis]] exhibited. Exo-Toa were one thing Makuta could possess along with other robots, such as the [[Maxilos Robots]]. Later, when [[Mata Nui]] fell into his deep sleep, the resulting [[Great Cataclysm]] ruptured a Makuta's armor, and needed to be placed in an Exo-Toa suit in order to remain alive.
   
In the time of the [[Toa Hagah]], the [[Brotherhood of Makuta]] used Exo-Toa as part of their army, which included [[Visorak]] and the [[Dark Hunter]]s. Thousands of years later, six Exo-Toa were found in the [[Bohrok]] nest by the [[Toa Mata]]. The Toa tried to use the armor to defeat the Bohrok Queens, the [[Bahrag]], but found the lack of elemental powers too much of a liability. When the [[Bohrok-Kal]] later tried to free the Bahrag, these six Exo-Toa were reduced to scrap metal trying to stop them. [[Nuparu]] then salvaged the scrap, intending to study it, but had little time to do so before becoming a [[Toa Inika]].

Exo-Toa were special suits of powered armor invented by the Nynrah Ghosts engineers. Toa and other similarly-sized beings could wear and control them, or they could be programmed to act on their own as robotic sentries.

History

Tahu Exo-Toa

After the Makuta species evolved from biomechanical form to a purely gaseous state, Chirox took over an Exo-Toa to "demonstrate" to Mutran the new powers antidermis exhibited. Exo-Toa were one thing Makuta could possess along with other robots, such as the Maxilos Robots. Later, when Mata Nui fell into his deep sleep, the resulting Great Cataclysm ruptured a Makuta's armor, and needed to be placed in an Exo-Toa suit in order to remain alive.

In the time of the Toa Hagah/Rahaga, the Brotherhood of Makuta used Exo-Toa as part of their army, which also included Visorak, "Fohrok" and their Dark Hunter allies.

The Bohrok War

Tahu Discovers Exo-Toa

Tahu discovers the Exo-Toa

Thousands of years later, when the Bohrok swarms were awakened by Teridax to attack the island of Mata Nui, the Toa Mata ventured into the Bohrok Nest to confront the swarms' twin queens. Travelling through the tunnels deep below the island's surface, the Toa discovered a chamber containing six Exo-Toa. Each Toa stepped into one of the suits, which they then attempted to use when they encountered the Bahrag. However, Tahu found that the electro-rockets had no effect on Cahdok and Gahdok; even worse, the armor hindered the Toa from using their elemental powers. Only by abandoning the suits were the Toa able to successfully defeat the Bahrag.

The Bohrok-Kal Crisis

Exo-Toa Guards

The Exo-Toa guard the Nuva Cube

Later, when the elite Bohrok-Kal tried to free the Bahrag, the now-Toa Nuva followed the Bohrok-Kal into the Nest; there, they found the six Exo-Toa fighting the Kal on autopilot. However, the battle was a short one, and the Exo-Toa were reduced to scrap metal. However, after a last-minute gambit on Gali's part, the Bohrok-Kal's powers spiraled out of control; Gahlok-Kal, whose power was Magnetism, ended up drawing the Exo-Toa pieces toward itself, crushing the Bohrok-Kal under the wreckage. Later, Nuparu, an Onu-Matoran Engineer, salvaged the scrap, intending to study it; however, he had little time to do so before he and five other Matoran embarked on a journey to Voya Nui and subsequently became the Toa Inika.

Reign of Makuta

During Teridax's reign, Exo-Toa were used by Makuta to hunt down and apprehend fugitives and return them to Metru Nui. One such army of Exo-Toa attacked Tahu's team in the ruined land of Karzahni; fortunately, Onua arrived in time to save them, and destroyed the robotic suits with an earthquake.

The Exo-Raptor, an alternate non-canon model

When a Toa dons the Exo-Toa armor, he wield more power than any being on Mata Nui hs ever known! Hidden underground for centuries, the Exo-Toa features a mighty claw arm and an awesome electro-rocket. But will even the energies of the Exo-Toa be enough to overcome the challenge of the Bahrag?[1]

  • The set number was 8557.
  • The set consisted of 360 pieces.
  • The set allowed four Toa Mata sets to fit into it: Tahu, Gali, Lewa and Kopaka. The Onua and Pohatu models needed to be modified in order to fit.
