I just saw a post asking why the order of Mata Nui didn't send Teridax to the pit, especially while he was sealed away. I can't find the post to directly answer it but I believe that the order of Mata Nui likely suffered heavy damage during the great cataclysm which they had to deal with. Their headquarters were likely severely damaged which could've led to them not even knowing who comatosed Mata Nui. So by the time they knew who to send to the pit, Teridax was likely already on the island of Mata Nui.

Botar was easily killed by Icarax so if they sent him to Mangaia he would've been crunched by Teridax immediately. The Order knows how powerful he is.

Teridax's supposedly died in the mask of light and his survival wouldn't be known of until after the 2007 arc. At which point nobody had a clue where he even was, and when they did they couldn't fish him out of the core processor.

I love how this guy just never got a name and just forever remained known as the guy who looks like, and had to replace, the awe-inspiring and fearsome Botar whom we loved and lost too soon

The law is the will of Mata Nui.

Break that law and only The Pit will welcome you.

Finally built all the 2006 combiners:

Botar - 11/10. This made me realize *why* Axonn was built so weird while Brutaka was a killer solo set; it's in order to meld them both fully into Botar. If you only have time/budget for a single combiner in your collection, this is the one you want to get. How small the pile of unused pieces is when your done is *shocking,* it might be the smallest ratio ever amongst combiners. I don't want to spoil it too much, but it's great.

Kardas - 3/10. Points mainly come from an interesting chest and wing build, but *all* the limbs feel wrong. Wrong to look at, purposeless and spindly vibes as you build it, squandered use of the piston pieces. I've table scrapped better arms and legs. The neck barely stays upright, and falls over from a stiff breeze. Loses points because of: how annoying it is to need to rebuild Vezon from the waist up and the Fenrakk skull; I lost a 3Long pin in the Kardas skull when rebuilding it into Fenrakk, truly bad design there; it doesn't conserve pieces in order to provide pins for Vezon to stand on, he's just hanging off the chain in the promo pictures even.

Whereas Brutaka and Axonn combine beautifully, Kardas needs another draft to incorporate V&F. I think an opportunity to make the axes the hands of the dragon exists, but serious work would need to be done on the legs and neck. Not worth your time, unless you're the kind of mad lad who wants to rebuild it better AND you have the budget to buy three titan sets, or already have some of them. (Tangentially, I have a vague memory of OnuaNut doing this on BZP with the Mata Nui titan set but I don't know how to find it again, anyone seen that thread?)

Lava Hawk - 9/10. Similar to Botar, I now get that the matoran looked That Way to accomodate this satisfying build. Also just a great looking bird. If your combiner budget isn't super high, this one is an easy second to Botar.

Dagger Spider - 7/10. Body build is neat, but another spider? After all that visorak stuff? C'mon man. The Matoran look That Way for this again. Solid little build, slap it together if you have the sets but you don't need to seek out another four legged spider, there's already a dozen of those.

Jovan - 5.5/10. It's... Nuparu but bristling with metal. Totally devoid of the blue or yellow from Hewkii and Hahli. Iunno. Maybe this'll be good for people who buy the Batman or evil Star Wars sets made of only black and grey. It's not doing anything for me. Neat use of Hewkii's chain but it is, truly, just another Inika build, if slightly wider. Bonus half point for staying upright, unlike Kardas. But it's also unsalvageable, unlike Kardas - I don't see a way to nullify the problems here. Skip this one, even if he's the only non-Takanuva Toa set to control an element that's not one of the main six.

Irnakk - 8.5/10. Honestly, this is as good as the Lava Hawk, but I'm docking half a point because you can't build it with just the sets, you technically need five extra pieces. Still looks *really* good without them, and the build is even fun unlike some on this list. Next to Zaktan, it does look like something that would fuck him up. Give it a whirl.

Protodax - 7.5/10. Bahahaha. This one was made for me specifically. It's goofy and silly AND it looks better than most of the 2005 rahi combiners. YMMV but I loved it. Good use of a piraka spine. The build isn't anything to write home about, but I looks like a blorbo, if a blorbo had three heads. Adding a half point purely because of the out-of-the-box design that may be the most unhinged *while-still-cohesive* build I've seen simultaneously. This is the anti-Jovan in a lot of ways. Look, just build it for me so you can have a good laugh as well, okay? Great.

[sepublic]

Axonn: Where are you taking Brutaka?

Botar: Someplace he won’t be able to interfere with the will of the Great Spirit... The Pit.

Axonn: Isn't that where the Toa are supposed to bring the Ignika?

Botar: …Look man, I'm just doing my job.

Axonn: Eh, I don't think I need to warn them about him.

look at my sense of humor boy

cant put these notes in the tags bc theres. too many so im adding lil things here

the Order's signature is a shaved head due to the Great Spirit Robot being bald;

only exceptions are Ancient (being a spy he has to lay low), Krakua (still isn't a full member), and Helryx (that's where she keeps all the moral issues and regrets);

Botar's mess of a mouth is the closest I could come to the one he actually has in his set. No i'm not giving him the cat ears

the Makuta's signature is buzzed hair, important noses, harsher edges, and an arched upper lip;

Teridax (depicted here) looks fairly distinct compared to them and slightly more like Mata Nui due to his destiny being to help his "brother" reunite Spherus Magna with its moons. His face is also technically that of the Great Spirit Robot.

Porque siempre me terminan gustando personas que solo les ayuda mi presencia solo en ese momento? Es como que les hago saber que si son importantes y después de saberlo solo me abren la puerta para que me vaya de su vida.. no entiendo

I really love the interpretation of botar as some biblical angel.

I mean lets face it, toothy bionic angel of doom is just badass.

Why didn't Botar bring Teridax to the pit?
