Anyway, I'm still kinda loving the idea that the Toa Metru masks are fucking weird by Ta Matoran standards, and that's why Vakama couldn't identify their powers.
Mask-makers have set rules and designs and blueprints for their masks, and then here are the Toa Metru's that are the equivalent of a bumblebee to a plane. Like, sure, both can fly, but one was crafted intentionally, and the other is an organic, messy process of evolution that can only fly through some quirk of physics.
So Vakama's stuck, trying to explain to his fellow Toa that he has no clue what their powers are because a) they weren't crafted by a mask-maker, so have no mark denoting their abilities or level and b) he's never seen these designs in his life and he can't get the others to understand how freaking bizarre they are by traditional mask-making methods
