Weapons Guide PDF - BIONICLEsector01

Welcome to the guide for Industrial Weapons in the Expanded Multiverse! The Multiverse is a noncanon
universe intended as a repository of fan-created content, freely available for anyone to use in their own fanfics,
etc. If you aren't familiar with the EM, start at the Expanded Multiverse Fanon Collection Topic.
This guide presents all qualifying and winning entries into the first EM contest; all weapons designed by the
company Weapons Science on the Industrial planet of Promathus. The contest had three main categories,
Description, Art, and MOC. Art was divided up into Hand-Drawn, Computer, and Other. The fifteen winners
will be featured in the Cipher Chronicles. If you use any of these, we ask only that you cite "Expanded
Multiverse Contributors" for credit, though giving the specific names of the creators would be even better.
NOTE: Since the whole Multiverse concept wasn't established at the time of the contest, it was called the
Expanded Universe: Xian Weapons contest. With Greg's permission, the fifteen winning entries are now part of
the official Bionicle canon, designed on the island of Xia. Future EM contests will probably not have
canon-ifying aspects; that will be saved for the separate series of Storyline and Theories Contests. The weapon
histories are not necessarily canon either, and they don't apply in the EM since they refer to official locations, etc.
But they may be used in fan versions of official locations, of course.
All weapon names, images, descriptions, and bios are created by the person cited with each entry, except for
minor alterations by me (bonesiii) for things like typos or image presentation, and anything in brackets is
written by me.

These fifteen weapons, in addition to being winners that will be featured in the Cipher Chronicles, are accepted
into the official Bionicle story universe, with permission from Greg. Some details of some of them are not canon;
notes in brackets at the end of an entry specify that, but the functionalities of all of them are canon.
Description Category
Griffin Gauntlet
Creator: Toa of Kenn
1st Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Description: Black-armored Gauntlet with three crystal talons (one on the palm, two on the back).
Bio: Shortly after the Great Disruption Makuta Miserix discovered a prophecy hinting on an attack of a faction
probably as powerful as his Brotherhood. Miserix did not tell any of his brothers, fearing hotheads like Icarax
and Gorast would stop working and start preparing for that war. Using reports from Destral’s library of
forbidden knowledge, he created plans for a weapon that the Makuta could use against this unknown threat. He
ordered a Toa named Gaaki, who his fellow-Makuta Teridax had just reluctantly accepted as a Hagah, to bring
the plans (encased in a knowledge crystal) to Xia; with ten vials of energized protodermis as payment. Vortixx
–unlike the Nynrah – kept silent as long as they got payed. Gaaki handed everything over to a Vortixx who knew
how Miserix usually ordered prototype weapons.
However only a few weeks later news of Miserix’ death and his replacement by the Makuta of Metru Nui had
travelled to Xia. The Vortixx stopped work on the first series of prototypes and enjoyed his payment in advance.
Ten thousands of years would pass until the very same Toa, Gaaki, would discover an abandoned laboratory
underneath a collapsed factory. Gaaki and her comrades had just dealt with a fight between two monstrous Rahi
on Xia that had destroyed almost half of the infrastructure and had cost many lives among the Vortixx. On their
search for survivors she had come to a strangely familiar district, that she realized was where she had been
dispatched to so long ago.
Astonished Gaaki and her five partners found a set of ten black gauntlets with crystal blue talons. It was Toa
Iruini who discovered the plans Miserix had once sketched. After reading the notes Iruini took a step back in
shock. These gauntlets were strong enough to fight someone as powerful as a Makuta. The wearer of the gauntlet
would need to make physical contact with his foe. Instantly the three talons would create a matrix encasing the
victim with a ring of crystal-like Protodermis. Oscillations of the crystals would increase the pressure of that ring
until the armor and whoever stuck in it would get crushed.
3
Unknowing that the threat Miserix had foreseen was the Brotherhood itself, he had created a weapon that could
give the light side in the universe an edge over his former fellows.

Firework Revolver
Creator: Palutena the Terrible
2nd Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Description: An extensive dark metallic green firearm. On the top of the firearm is a slot to insert the required
amount of ammo. Move the trigger to fire the lethal fireworks and the revolver automatics revolves. The
fireworks sizzle like a Visorak and can cause some burns.
Bio: Boom! Often during festivals, Matoran would often use fireworks to celebrate. Using the elements of their
Zamor launcher and using some of the Kanoka Disk elements, these colorful explosives caught the attention of a
Xian. The Xian stole fireworks from the island and tried to develop a way to use these as a deadly weapon. With
the help of the Nynrah Ghosts and trial and error, they developed the Firework Revolver.
[NOTE: Only the functionality of this weapon is canon, not the history.]
Kanoka Blade
Creator: Electric Turahk
3rd Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Description: The Kanoka Blade is a large, gray, Protodermis-colored broadsword. Its pommel contains a deep
yellow Lightstone that glows when its power is activated. The grip and tassel of the hilt are formed into a
fist-shaped glove that the user's hand slips into. The guard is star-shaped and razor-sharp, further necessitating
the glove grip so as to protect the user's own hand. A clamp at the opening of the glove secures the Kanoka Blade
on the user's wrist, adjusting accordingly to the size of the user's wrist. This clamp then extends to cover the
user's lower arm and create a more secure connection, as well as provided further protection still.
The actual blade is a razor-edged strip of Protodermis with a triangular tip, all at approximately half a bio long.
The center contains a groove running the entire length of the Kanoka Blade.
Though typically gray, the Kanoka Blade will change color when in use to reflect the elemental affinity of its user,
similar to a Kanohi.
Bio: The Kanoka Bade is a weapon carved from Kanoka in a fashion similar to the process used to create Kanohi.
It can only be crafted using known Kanoka combinations used to make Kanohi - most other combinations fail to
4
generate a power or do not forge properly, making the blade inoperable. For example, reconstitute at random,
enlarge, and remove poison Kanoka can be used to create a Kanoka Blade with the abilities of a Kanohi Pakari.
In order to activate the powers, an interface system was constructed that allows the user to exert his/her will
power into the weapon in the same fashion as a Kanohi. Thusly, it can only be used by those capable of using
Kanohi as well. The interface system was imbedded in the hilt apparatus so as to always be connected to the user;
it resides in the "palm" of the "glove" grip of the blade. The apparatus is magnetically attached to the user's hand,
further securing the Kanoka Blade on the user in addition to the wrist clamp.
When the Kanoka Blade's power is activated, the Lightstone pommel glows while the sword changes color and
then glows itself. The power applies only to the Kanoka Blade and does not extend to apply to the entirety of the
user. So, if a Kanoka Blade with the power of a Hau is activated, the blade gains a shield, but the user does not.
However, the arm cover is included in the blade's range, so any sort of ability-enhancing power (such as a
Kakama or Pakari) will be applied to the user's arm as well. The Kanoka Blade can also be used in conjunction
with a Kanohi mask, creating the opportunity for the use of two mask powers at once.
Once forged, the abilities of the Kanoka Blade are forever instilled in it; powers cannot be swapped or altered in
any way. Unless damaged, the power will remain ever-present and will always be accessible so long as the user
has the will power to activate it. If damaged, however, it will react similarly to a Kanohi and the power could
malfunction (i.e. a shield suddenly disappearing for a Hau-powered Kanoka Blade) or cease to work entirely.
Eccentric Rock
Creator: Bioran23
4th Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Description: Similar to a rock, center is hollow.
Bio: The Eccentric Rock is a special weapon developed using modified rock material. The weapon is made into a
form of a rock but with a hollow center, which contains a type of sticky protodermis that, when fired at a target,
the Eccentric Rock would explode, splatting the sticky protodermis around the target and creating a cage which
traps the target. It was primarily used by the Matoran and Vahki of Metru Nui to trap Rahi before being placed
in stasis tubes prior to the Great Cataclysm.
The Eccentric Rock are generally small, no bigger then a fist. Although a larger type of the Eccentric Rock was
developed under the request of the Brotherhood of Makuta, which is the size of a boulder and is used to trap
opponents during battles. The larger type of Eccentric Rock is often named "Eccentric Boulder".
Because of its small size, the Eccentric Rock can only contain a small amount of sticky protodermis, which
means multiple rocks will need to be used when Archivists try to contain large Rahi. The rocks are normally
thrown at their targets, although the larger Eccentric Boulder can be launched using catapults. The effects of the
sticky protodermis normally lasts for 1 hour before the cage succumbs, although this depends on the quantity of
the protodermis used.
5
The Eccentric Rock was given it's particular name for the strange and eccentric shapes of the cages which it
produces.
Electro Chute Blade
Creator: AAarbuck
5th Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Description: A long elegant sword, with a slight tinge of blue. The blade appears to shift and swirl, and has two
knobs on the hilt with numbers surrounding them.
Bio: As the name suggests, the Electro Chute Blade functions rather like a chute. In the inside of the hilt there is a
small device, rather like the generator of a chute, except the knob labeled M controls the hardness of the blade.
The blade is made out of liquefied metallic protodermis that is kept liquefied by electricity, which is generated
like an electric guitar (it vibrates slightly, so it is self sustaining). You can turn the knob labeled M and make it so
the blade can pass through an object and give it an electric jolt (depending on what the knob labeled E is set on).

"Nihu-Motara" Energy Siphon Blade
Creator: -Wrinkledlion X1st Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Full-sized entry image (with labels for working parts)
Bio: Orders were placed for the “Nihu-Motara” Energy Siphon Blade
shortly before the Great Cataclysm. When Makuta Teridax took over
Metru Nui by posing as Turaga Dume, he found many uses for the Toa
defending the city- While most were merely sent to be killed by his
hired Dark Hunters, two Toa were sent for a much more productive
purpose.
A Toa of Water and a Toa of Stone were shipped off to Xia to act as
test-subjects for the new weapon, which would, like a Vorahk, be
capable of absorbing a Toa or other being’s life force, but would also
take the absorbed energy and channel it over the sharp blade.
6
The Energy Siphon Blade was given a series of prongs at the blade’s tip that, when scraped against, stabbed into,
or even firmly pressed against a being, would absorb its raw strength and energy, both powering the sword and
weakening the opponent. This made it a very effective tool against Toa, Skakdi, and other powerful beings.
Three models were produced- Model B, Model C, and Model D. B was designed for Toa-sized beings, C for
titan-sized
beings, and D,
through the
use of Shrinkand
EnlargeKanoka, can
change size to
accommodate
a Makuta’s
shape-shifting.
(It is not
available to
anyone but the
Brotherhood.)
Originally a
Model A was conceived for Matoran-sized beings, but it was deemed unprofitable and was scrapped early on.
It is not without its disadvantages, however -- Though testing on the Toa of Water showed it to be highly
effective on beings of low or average strength, testing on the Toa of Earth demonstrated that it can absorb only
so much power from the stronger elements such as Stone, Earth, and Iron. They generally have a stronger
resistance to it.
It is assumed that it can also control the life force of a Makuta, but the Brotherhood has outlawed testing of this
nature with punishment of death.
And a note: Though technically its official name is "'Nihu-Motara' Energy Siphon Blade," nobody in their right
mind would call it by such a name in everyday speech. Most either abbreviate or refer to it as the "Nihu-Motara."
[NOTE: Only the functionality of this weapon is canon, not the history.]

Impact Crystal Launcher
Creator: Triggy
2nd Place in its category
Bioniclesecto01 page
Full-sized entry image
Bio: The Impact Crystal Launcher’s initial design was developed by Avak during his first expedition to Metru
Nui as a Dark Hunter to liberate the Kanohi Dragon. On the party’s way through Ko-Metru, Avak became
fascinated by the growth process of a Knowledge Tower – specialized crystals called Knowledge Crystals were
submerged into basins of refined liquid Protodermis, after which a Tower would instantly form.
Realizing the weapons potential of such technology, the Skakdi began work on a prototype launcher which
would fire Knowledge Crystals through a thin film of liquid Protodermis. When the Crystal hit the target, a
miniature Tower would grow around it, immobilizing and effectively incapacitating the target. However, the
arrival of Toa Lhikan and his team to defeat the Kanohi Dragon put an abrupt end to these plans, and Avak was
forced to stash his uncompleted blueprints in a hidden area in Ko-Metru.
Thousands of years later, during the Visorak occupation of Metru Nui, Roodaka accidentally stumbled upon the
designs and shipped them back to her native Xia for examination. Weapons-smiths on Xia added several
features to the launcher, such as a laser sight for greater accuracy, and a telescoping range adjustor which
operated by varying the thickness of the liquid Protodermis film on the end. The barrel of the launcher was
covered with low-grade Protodermic ore plating, to limit accidental reaction to the kinetically-charged Crystal
(launched by means of a sonic firing hammer at the end).
The Impact Crystal Launcher continues to be a popular item for various organizations in the Matoran Universe,
to include the Brotherhood of Makuta and the Dark Hunters. The Launcher can be used quite effectively to
subdue and capture prisoners of political interest by locking them within miniature Towers. The assembly cost
of a Launcher is quite expensive, however, as Knowledge Crystals proved difficult to come by during the
thousand years of Metru Nui’s desertion.

Earth Claw
Creator: Mihunai
1st Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Topic with animations
Description: The weapon itself replaces the upper
arm and was made to look as a simple claw,
allthough it has some great enhancements. It can
be used as hand, shield, drill, jackhammer and to
focus elemental energy, though more powerful
than any weapon before.
Bio: This weapon was designed by a Toa of Earth. Unlike his teammates, he rather used brute force than logic
(even though he could), and thought their weapons were nothing compared to those he saw on his mission to
Xia, and suggested they would get some decent weapons there. The others did not agree, because Dark Hunters
and even Makuta got their weapons there, and they had no intention of being compared to them (neither did he,
he just didn't know where Artakha was).
This led to an argument which made him leave the group and go there himself. After working for a long time on
the design with one of the most skilled Vortixx, they made it, and after a long time discussing who should have
it, not only did he get the weapon, but he managed to keep the blueprints as well, because he didn't like to share
his power at all, especially not with a Vortixx...
Also, even though he was supposed to be the only one who had the blueprints, copies have been made, and they
were secretly sold anyway, and would still be to date, if it was not for the fact that the blueprints have
mysteriously vanished…. After using it to make an earthquake greater than any he ever felt (although it wasn't
noticed by anyone else because of all the industry going on), the Toa thought the Mountain was no match for
him. He thought wrong. All that was left was his Claw...
The current location of these weapons is unknown most of them just vanished, and rumor has it that the Toa
9
managed to transfer some of his Toa energy into his Claw before he died....
[NOTE: Only the functionality of this weapon is canon, not the history.]
Lightstone Rifle
Creator: bonesiii
2nd Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Bio: The Lightstone Rifle fires an electrically charged lightstone that shatters on impact, stunning and blinding
targets, destabilizing structures, and weakening Makuta, Rahkshi, and other Shadow beings. It was
commissioned by the Dark Hunters for their war against the Brotherhood of Makuta.
It works by storing
high electricity in a
battery crystal in the
back, channeling
that electricity along
a crystal track and
tubes into the
lightstones. The
trigger/firing
hammer is made
from a Kanoka Disk
of Speed.
Has a detachable ammo pack that holds four additional lightstones. A lightstone in the barrel takes about five
minutes to charge up with electricity; those in the ammo pack take about twenty minutes. Also contains a
lightstone focused by a crystal to act as a sighting laser, which can be covered with a small switch in the front.
To fire, the user first waits until the lightstone is crackling with energy,
then uncovers the laser and aims. When the trigger is pulled rapidly, the
firing hammer strikes the lightstone in the barrel. The lightstone zooms
out of the barrel. It’s made brittle by the electricity, so it shatters on
impact. Both the light inside and the electricity is released in a bright
flash.
The main advantages to this gun are that it functions well over medium range and sniper range -- and the
blade-like metal front can be used as a somewhat clumsy block to melee attacks -- and it is effective against
Brotherhood forces, but also works well against normal enemies as well. It's adaptive enough to weaken fortress
walls or enemy vehicles as well. It's most effective against Rahkshi, who it can sometimes down with one hit.
The main downside is that it isn't near as powerful as the Avhokii or Takanuva, so against Makuta themselves it's
10
more of an annoyance than a
threat. The brittle charged
lightstones are vulnerable
shattering by an enemy,
including the battery, in which
case the user would be stunned
and blinded. Users must be
careful not to get in situations
that risk that. It only holds five
lightstones at a time and even
if extras are handy, time must
be spent to charge them up.
Finally, lightstones aren't generally considered a renewable resource, since even if more crystallize, that is a slow
process, and they must be mined.
Art: Other Category
Devastator
Creator: 55555
Only winner of its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Bio: The Devastator is essentially a lance with a barbed drill tip filled an explosive charge. It was invented for a
Skakdi warlord who wanted a weapon that could kill a Tahtorak while being controlled by by a Skakdi riding on
a Tahtorak. Crossbows couldn't pierce the Tahtorak's armor, and ones big enough too were too big to reload
easily. Various other projectile weapons were tried, and failed for one reason or another.
11
Then they thought of making a lance. It had to be long
enough to reach the opposing mount and strong enough to
withstand the impact. Then they designed The Devastator.
When charging the Tahtorak you want to take down, you
lower the lance to point at its chest, and brace yourself. After
the tip is a few feet inside the beast and has pierced the
armor, press a button that triggers the charge in the tip. After
that, the Tahtorak doesn't usually return to the battle.
The problem with the first design of The Devastator was the fact that after the first kill, the tip would be gone
and the lance would be useless. The Xians then implemented the power of regeneration discs into the weapon, so
that after the tip detonated it would regenerate and be ready for another kill.
Since controlling a 30 foot lance isn't exactly easy, only the strongest Skakdi can use these.
[NOTE: The Skakdi shown holding it is not canon.]

MOC Category
MOC stands for "My Own Creation", meaning built by a fan out of LEGO/Bionicle pieces.
Vortixx Rhotuka Battle Axe
Creator: Sisen
1st Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Full-sized entry image
Bio: The Vortixx Rhotuka Battle Axe is a top of the line multi-functional weapon. Its features are: a double sided
axe, two Rhotuka launchers, cooling fans, and levitation weights. The blades are constructed out of the finest
Protodermis available. Also, the edges of the blades can heat up; the intensity varies on the user's setting. There
are two cooling fans to cool down the blades; they can also serve as weapons.
The Rhotuka featured on the axe powers are unknown, since the powers of them are derived from the user. The
handle features levitation weights, made from levitation Kanoka disk, to make the Axe easier to wield. The
weight level can be adjusted, by removing the levitation weights, to fit the user’s needs.
Hagah Plasma Cannon
Creator: Bundalings the Bunny
2nd Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Full-sized entry image
Bio: Contracted by a wealthy Matoran merchant from Stelt, the Hagah
Plasma Cannon was designed to keep pirates and the like away from
his goods. Produced by the dozens in his emblematic colors, he
outfitted all his ships with them.
The HPC was made for duel purposes; it serves as a fixed turret, perfect
height for Matoran and other small species; but at the flip of a switch it
detaches and can be used by bigger and stronger species (or Toa with the Kanohi Pakari) as a large, two-handed
blaster. The plasma is discharged by gripping one of the two touch-sensitive handles.
13
Power is supplied via an oblong battery on one side that feeds into the various energy-conducting tubes on the
inside of the cannon. Energy heats up the plasma in the plasma tank, which then feeds to the barrel, where it is
stopped by a force field. When enough plasma has built up, the field disappears and the pressurized plasma is
launched forward at high velocity.
The crystal on the battery glows green when fully charged, then fades to orange, and then on to red, then it
darkens entirely when dead.
On the side of the cannon, attached to the plasma tank, is a unique
laser-sight. Instead of the laser pointing at where the plasma will go, the
plasma goes where the laser points. The plasma detects the exact
wavelength of the laser and is drawn to it, following the course of the
laser to the target. The Vortixx aren't revealing how they created this
technology.
The laser is created by the
light-focusing crystal on it's top.
Due to it's need for light, the
cannon should be used in the
daytime or in conjunction with a
lightstone.
However, the HPC can be used in darkness. It is just much less accurate,
often spewing plasma in unpredictable directions. The Matoran
merchant is considering adding a permanent lightstone fixture to the
HPC.
The plasma itself is nothing super-special; it's just a super-hot liquid
that melts stuff.
[NOTE: The Matoran and Toa pictured with this weapon are not canon.]

Twilight Blade
Creator: Nynrah Ghost
3rd/4th Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Bio: Contrary to popular belief, this simple sword
has neither light nor shadow powers whatsoever.
It is named as such for two reasons.
First, when in bright conditions, with enough
skill, and only when swung, the sword's reflective,
mirror-like metallic shine will reflect natural light
directly into the opponent's eyes, causing
temporary blindness, giving the impression that
the sword has light powers.
Second, in low-light areas, and once again, when
swung, the sword's unique properties will cause it
to appear almost invisible, making it harder for
the opponent to see the blade, and giving the
impression that it has shadow powers, although
keen opponents can still see the blade.
Because of the amount of skill required to wield it,
and the fact that its unique properties are only
usable when the sword is swung and depends on
the amount of environmental light, only few have
ever actually purchased it from Xia.
15
Judgement Cannon
Creator: BCii
3rd/4th Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Bio:
History
The Judgement Cannon is a unique weapon, shrouded in mystery. Few have heard of its existence, and those
who know of it guard their knowledge closely. It was commissioned way back in the heyday of the Hand of
Artahka, by Artahka himself. It was conceived as a weapon to decisively end any conflict, even before it began.
Its top-secret status is a safety measure to prevent it falling into the wrong hands. The fear is that its workings
might be modified to produce the opposite effect and keep a conflict raging long after it would normally have
been resolved, or end it in victory for the forces of evil. It is unknown whether the Order of Mata Nui still has a
working Judgement Cannon. Even if it does, to use it indiscriminately would risk revealing its existence to the
enemy.
16
What It Does
The Cannon has the ability to destroy an enemy’s will to fight. The affected target becomes disillusioned with
violence. His or her fighting morale is turned into a desire for peace and harmony. Paradoxically, it can also
strengthen the target’s resolve to fight, if it is justified by sound moral principles.
How It Works
The Cannon is a psionic weapon, affecting the target’s mind. It focuses a ray of psionic energy created by a
colony of specially bred protodites living inside it. The ray is emitted as a constant stream while the trigger is
depressed. Its power level can be boosted by the user’s own mind, if he or she is sufficiently advanced in mental
techniques. Its effectiveness depends chiefly on the calibre of the target’s mind: a simple foe is quickly
dispatched, whereas a complex being is more resistant. Additional resistance is offered by deep mental
conditioning.
[NOTE: Only the functionality of this weapon is canon, not the history.]
Energy Extraction Rifle
Creator: Dorek
5th Place in its category
Bioniclesector01 page
Bio: [In Bionicle story universe, can also be called Xian Energy Extraction Rifle, or XEER.] Pronounced "Seer".
Designed solely
for the purpose of
extracting the
opponent's
energy, it requires
patience and
dexterity to use.
Vortixx may be
hardy, but they
lack real combat skills, and they know that many other species, Matoran included, also lack sufficient power to
fight for themselves. Knowing this, they created something that made things a bit more equal. Due to it's
parasitic nature, Matoran shunned it; however, it was lapped up by plenty of other rich, but defenseless species.
One species managed to reverse engineer the process, and use both, thereby extracting one's own energies, and
fire them. However, this is dangerously close to the process by which one taps into their own darkness to use
energy; the Order is monitoring this species closely in case an incident occurs.
[NOTE: Only the functionality of this weapon is canon, not the history.]

Qualifiers
These weapons made it past the judging stage to qualify for the polls. Thus all of them are accepted into the
Expanded Multiverse "fanon." They will most likely not be used in the Cipher Chronicles. Also, none are canon.
These are listed in the order they were approved; no placement info is included.
Again, remember that the Expanded Multiverse wasn't established or announced at the time of this contest, so
the bios are written for Bionicle locations, organizations, etc. In the Multiverse, all these are weapons designed
by the company Weapons Science, many of them designed by the CEO, Zayna the Vortixx herself, and the
functionalities are the same in the EM. If they are copied out into fanfic versions of Bionicle, the bios can still
work as written for the Copies, however.
Description Category
Stealth Explosive
Creator: Cytua
Description: Spherical, with a glowing red light.
Bio: It was developed in three varieties. A stage 1 Stealth explosive has a blast radius of 4.11 meters. A stage 2's
radius is 11.45 meters. And a stage 3 is 55.67 meters in blast radius. This would not be such a popular item,
however, if it wasn't for its special feature. Everything from the blast epicenter to the blast radius is completely
silent for the next five minutes, including the sound of the explosion, the cries of those in it, and the voices of
those who come inside the blast radius. It is popular for sneak attacks on fortresses, because the only way you
can know it went off is by seeing it or feeling it. Side effects are temporary aversion to loud noises after
prolonged exposure to the silence energies. Activation is by squeezing the sphere in a special pattern. Each
pattern is different, and only the first person to touch it will have it imprinted in their mind.
Silencer
Creator: Kohrak Kal: Sonic Engineer
Description: A long silver tube, with a noise emitter attached to the end. There are also two missile launching
tubes attached to the sides, and the trigger guard encloses the whole hand.
Bio: The Silencer emits a low frequency sound that vibrates the victim and stuns him/her. It does this by
vibrating their body until their mind is confused and stunned. If the victim is immune to sonic powers (e.g.
Sonic Toa), then the missile launchers shoot modified Cordak which hold a stunning agent.
18
The Smoke Stack
Creator: Last Stand's Alpha Wolf
Description: The bulk of the Smoke Stack is not actually the barrel, long and thick like a hollowed tree trunk
made of metal with bands running along it for reinforcement, but the gigantic bellows that are fixed behind it
like a bizarre accordion. A thick hose runs from an attachment on the bellows to the butt of the barrel. The
barrel is roughly as long as a Vortixx is high, and the bellows are the size of a Kane-Ra
Bio: The Smoke Stack is an ingenious attempt to profit from the pollution on Xia. The bellows work at sucking
the smog in, then forcing it along the hose to where it is kept compressed and contained in the barrel. The
bellows are them used to work up enough pressure to fire the captured smog in one great toxic blast. This
machine is useful for clearing out buildings without doing any structural damage, creating hot and poisonous
clouds to smoke out anyone inside. The downside is these things take a long time to load as a lot of work is
needed to gather a single shot.
Kinetic Void Cannon
Creator: ToaLhikan007
Description: The KVC is shoulder mounted and is about the size of a Cordak Blaster. In fact, the design for the
weapon was roughly based on the Cordak Blaster, but it has no revolving components. A unique portion of the
KVC is the aiming mechanism, which links to the user's palm. This aiming mechanism glows a red color when
active, a blue color when not active. The barrel of the weapon is narrower than the rest of the KVC, and is totally
hollow. The ammunition of the weapon is similar to a Tridax pod, though it is silver in color and contains seven
smaller spheres that glow red when active.
Bio: Faced with the growing prospect of war with the Brotherhood, the Order began designing a weapon that
not even a Makuta could strike against, because that weapon would make it impossible to strike. After studying
the Rahi Beasts guide, created by the Rahaga, the Order chose the Rahi to base the weapon design on, the
Kraawa. Slowly, a design was created and alterations were made to make the weapon more useful in a real battle.
After a great deal of preparation, the Order sent a member to Xia in secret, dropping off the design and more
than enough money so that the Vortixx wouldn't ask questions.
The Kinetic Void Cannon consists of ammunition that is contained in a protodermis sphere. Within the outer
shell, seven smaller spheres reside. Once activated, this weapon has two capabilities that stem from the Kraawa's
unique power. The first setting can be used against a single target by aiming at that specific target. Once it is
within range, the outer shell opens up and releases the spheres. The "Kraawa Spheres" magnetize to the closest
object and begin draining kinetic energy from the target and the area near the target (about a foot in radius).
While the spheres are attached, the target is held as if in a stasis field. After several minutes the spheres will fall
off. The target is able to move, but is almost entirely exhausted from the drain.
The second use of KVC is more practical in a battle field, but is not quite so potent. The outer shell is fired in a
high arc, where it opens and releases the "Kraawa Spheres" over a wide area of a battle field. As soon as the
spheres hit the ground, they go to work absorbing the kinetic energy of objects and beings within its area of
19
effect. The amount of energy drained is proportional to the distance the spheres are spread out after falling, but it
results in drastic slow-downs of attacking forces, often making it appear as if they are moving in slow motion.
This function has a longer duration to the slower rate of drain.
Any energy absorbed by the spheres is transferred into the ground below them or into the air. This creates a
humming sound, ironically similar to the growl of a Kraawa.
Cross-Catch Gun
Creator: Zaktansnake
Description: The Weapon bears a resemblance to the Catcher Claw that Roodaka wields. It has a catcher
equipped to the bottom of the Weapon, on top a crossbow is mounted perfectly in place so it doesn't affect the
catcher. It is also modified with Laser sighting for the crossbow for better aim on targets that are hard to hit.
Lastly, it is equipped with a slip on handle which you can place over your arm for easy use of the weapon.
Bio: The Weapon allows the user to look through its scope to take aim at targets and lock on them. When the
Target is locked, the Crossbow will mentally follow the user's orders or will when it is wanted to fire. When the
user wields it, a laser is shot from the crossbow and launched at the target, striking the target with a burst of
shock that will 80% of the time knock the target unconscious, while the other 20% of the time it would just
damage the target.
The only defect to this is if another target gets in the way of the laser, the laser would hit that target instead. If the
User were to be detected by others and shot at, he/she could use the catcher equipped to the Weapon to catch
and return to the user the shot that was launched as well as returning a Rotuka power they would posses (i.e. If
Roodaka were to use this weapon, she would launch mutation back as well. If Tahu were to use this weapon, he
would launch fire back as well.)
They were created around the time of the Brotherhood/Dark Hunter War by the Vortixx in hopes of selling it to
the Brotherhood and the Dark Hunters. Unfortunately, this weapon was disliked by both sides for its lack of
close combat as most Hunters and Makuta love to clash with each other rather than have a sniping contest. But
as time went by, the weapon was bought by the Brotherhood and they began equipping it to some of their
soldiers, Exo-Toa, even some Makuta began to use these weapons in the war. Eventually, the Dark Hunters
requested these weapons as well, and they equipped it to most of their Hunters. The War was never the same
place when these weapons were used.
Phantom Rifle
Creator: King of Everything
Description: A long and thin midnight blue gun with multiple knobs on the side, and a scope that covers the
users entire face like goggles.
Bio: The Phantom Rifle was designed to be used by bounty hunters. The ammo for the Rifle has two properties,
first off it releases an electric shock that numbs the muscles and paralyzes whomever it hits (because it effects
20
muscles it is useless against Makuta and because it uses electricity it is very ineffective against
Toa/Turaga/Matoran of Lightning) secondly it is created using the same process that makes masks of
intangibility and the ammo itself is designed to be intangible itself until right before it hits its intended target.
The scope goggles include X-ray vision. These two combined features allow the user to snipe down enemies from
any place, shooting through the walls of buildings or caves. However it also takes a long time to set the bullets to
become tangible at the right moment (the knobs on the side are what control the distance and time that the
ammo stays intangible) so it is nearly impossible to use in pitched combat.
Also, because of the complexity of the weapon it takes a decent bit of time to produce and so it is usually not
mass produced, but rather individually made for a single user. For individual bounty hunters who prefer to take
out enemies from a distance without being seen however it is very popular.
(Xian) Deflector Spear
Creator: Takua the Wanderer
Description: A simple, basic spear. The only distinguishing feature is an energy field about the width of a
Rhotuka emitting from the tip of the spearhead.
Bio: The Xian Deflector Spear was invented to counter ranged attacks and projectiles in general. The user
catches a projectile in the weapon's energy field. The Spear stops the projectile by instantly converting its kinetic
energy to potential energy. It then increases the potential energy (like a bow or a slingshot would) and fires the
projectile back by instantly converting the potential energy back. Since there's more potential energy, the
projectile will be a lot stronger. A huge limit on this weapon is that it can hold as much projectiles as can fit in
the force field, and only projectiles that are smaller than it. Also, the potential energy is spread out among the
projectiles (the more projectiles, the less energy each one will have), and there's a maximum to how much energy
the Spear can add.
If the enemy prefers to just smash you instead of throwing things at you, then you use a rock instead of a
conventional projectile. Or failing even that, it'd make a somewhat decent spear.
The Kanohi Blaster
Creator: Lepaka the Guardian
Description: A long, rifle type weapon with two Kanohi Ignika shaped masks on the side by the handle. At the
barrel, a Grey Kanohi Hau is stuck to the top, facing up. In the middle, it just has small blades sticking up. It has
a cord sticking out the back that you connect to your mask.
Bio: First, you connect the cord at the back to your mask, and wait at least 10 seconds for it's energy to charge.
You then point the Blaster at another beings Mask (must be a working mask that can actually do stuff) and pull
and hold the trigger for 3 seconds. Then let go of the trigger, and a small, blue mist flies out at the other beings
mask. When the mist hits, it flies back through the barrel, goes through the cord at the end and then appears
around your mask. This enables you to use that other beings mask power for any amount of time, but it takes a
lot of willpower to use it for to long. The Kanohi Blaster was invented roughly 2 thousand years ago.
21
The Teacher
Creator: -UltraVioletDescription: A small silver satellite connected to a handle with a small red switch that chose the data amount.
Bio: It was created by Xians years ago for the Dark Hunters. Seeing an opportunity to use it against Metru Nui,
the Hunters sneaked them onto cargo for Metru Nui shipped for Ga-Metru teachers. Supposedly making it
easier for a student to learn by downloading knowledge into the student's mind, it was created with a crucial
flaw: it downloaded too much knowledge, which caused extreme mental pains and sometimes brain damage.
The flaws were discovered and 'The Teachers' disposed of, but the Dark Hunters kept some because they worked.
It was triggered by turning a switch to the amount of data downloaded (which was purposely faulty).
Electrode Quarterstaff
Creator: Ignus: Subordinate of Tohu
Description: A long, collapsible staff made of rock with a metallic core and metallic protodermis on each end.
Bio: When the staff is unfolded into its lengthened state, an electric current is started and flows through it and
travels from end to end. When in use, if the staff makes contact with any biomechanical material, the electric
current travels through the organic material and ceases the function of that part of the body for 3 days. It is a two
handed weapon and the hands can alternate positions for different melee combos.
Maintenance is minimal for the staff seeing as the friction of folding and unfolding the quarterstaff is what
charges the current in the metallic protodermis. Even if the current dies out in the middle of the battle, the
weapon is still effective enough to deal heavy blows without any additional powers.
Personal Shield Gun
Creator: Nukatha
Description: Made of Metallic Proto, the PSG is cylindrical, coming to a point at the firing end. It is typically
silver, although the color changes if enhanced with an element. It straps on to the wearers arm, and comes in
various sizes to fit the needs of whoever needs it, from Matoran to Vortixx.
Bio: Made of metallic proto combined with shielding Kanoka, the PSG is a useful tool. It fires a thin beam of
white energy. When it hits anything solid it creates a bubble shield around that object, which exists until the gun
is turned off. If anything passes between this beam and the current shield, the shield disintegrates and a new one
is formed at the closer target. These weapons are triggered by thought. Even Matoran can use the low power
versions. If several beams are pointed at the same target, the shield becomes larger, and stronger. The shield
created cannot be passed through in either direction. The shield makes a distinction between objects
‘Attempting’ to pass through the shield, and those that naturally would. Air can flow through the shield, and if
underwater, water would also be able to move through it. However, a falling boulder would not go through. Just
like the Hau, the shield deactivates if user’s concentration is lost. The shield can be broken with enough force,
and if that happens, the PSG deactivates, requiring maintenance for further use.
22
As such, if the user of a PSG points it at himself, he can walk with the shield active.
The weapons are created with up to three Kanoka. Due to the power loss when forging the PSGs, level 5+
Kanoka must be used to make a working gun.
Level 5 PSGs can only contain a Matoran or similar sized creature.
Level 8 (OR two level 5 disks) can contain most larger rahi, such as Kikanalo.
Two level 8 disks can hold even a duo of Makuta attacking the walls with their shadow powers, HOWEVER, this
is extremely hard to control, and is right up there with the Vahi. Axonn would be immobilized if he attempted
this, using all his willpower to keep the gun active.
The final Kanoka is used for elemental enhancements. Using an elemental Kanoka, the PSG gains the elemental
power of the disk. A fire disk would either give minor burns, or incinerate the target, depending on the power of
the shield disk(s). A PSG gains the color of the element, preventing a user from accidentally freezing himself…
Seismic Hammer
Creator: TLhikan
Description: The head has a broad, flat surface on one side and two scythe-like blades on the back. The handle is
a long, staff-like rod.
Bio: This weapon is a favorite for Toa of Iron, Stone, or Earth. Upon impact, the hammer sends out a shock
wave in all directions. When used on a being, it focuses it into one point, which can fling it a long distance. The
most powerful versions can dent protosteel.
Proto Pack
Creator: Jalaguy
Description: A silver handheld launcher, like a slightly larger Midak, connected by hoses to a backpack unit that
features a porous metal plate.
Bio: Designed to be a weapon with an infinite ammunition supply, the Proto Pack is an effective weapon in small
combat situations such as storming a building, but less favourable in full battles due to the bulky back unit.
When in use, the backpack plate is cooled using a Freeze disk, causing Protodermis vapour in the air to condense
on it. The liquid is then drawn into the pack and stored in a container inside the pack. When the weapon is fired,
Protodermis is drawn to the launcher via tubes, and fired as a magnetically bound sphere (same sort of thing as
how chutes are held together). The orb lands a physical blow to the target, and the sphere's contents disperses
after impact.
A suction hose is also attached to the pack for refilling from liquid protodermis pools, a function that is useful
23
when operating in areas where there is not much moisture in air, such as deserts.
Electromagnetic Pulse Mine
Creator: Skullkid525
Description: Nothing special. It is a grey, metallic disk that you plant in the ground.
Bio: They are small, but the effect is destructive. It causes a small electromagnetic pulse, and magnetizes your
foe's armor. This, of course, causes any metal to become attracted to you. Also, if the mines are placed close
together, one mine can cause the other mines to go off and cause an a medium sized electromagnetic implosion,
causing temporary audio receiver failure (that is the way Toa, Dark Hunters, etc. hear), and shut down of all
electric using devices. This also causes all metal in the mine field to become magnetized. Ever since the BoM's
corruption, they have banned the production of these weapons, due to the fact that these could be a great
weakness to them. But if you know the right Vortixx, you can get your hands on one of these beauties in no time,
if you can pay the price.
Blaster Armor
Creator: Toa Nuhrii
Description: Its right arm is a projectile weapon that looks like a cannon. It has a shoulder mounted missile
launcher on the left shoulder. The blaster covers your arm completely, while your left arm is not covered by
anything. A harness keeps it on the body, connecting the missile launcher and cannon arm.
Bio: The Blaster Armor's right arm can shoot blasts of plasma and fire, because two Kanoka discs that had the
powers of Plasma and Fire were used to make the right arm, making it useful against many different kinds of
enemies. However, it takes a while to charge up because of the trigger in the right arm that must be pulled in
order to be used again. When pulled, the trigger has to slowly go back to the place where it was pulled. The
missile launcher on the shoulder can fire missiles while you are waiting for the trigger of the right arm to go back
in place. It was designed originally to help clear away forests for settlements, but it was too costly and big to
massively produce, so the weapon was canceled. Later, however, the Brotherhood of Makuta wanted to use it for
their armies and it is now being produced again, this time for use against the Dark Hunters.
Shard Dust Launcher
Creator: Gemini476
Description: A round barrel of hardened Protodermis with stone shards encased in fragile Protodermis as a
bullet.
Bio: The bullet (that explodes on impact) contains small shards of stone. The shards shatter into fine dust that
will spread around the area of impact and will blind foes.
24
Morphic Bio-Launcher
Creator: The Last Toa
Description: Designed for beings of great size and power, the Bio-Launcher stands tall as a Matoran. From one
end a trio of curved blades focus the launcher’s power, and a neon blue sphere sits behind these blades. A large
amount of the weapon is a special gauntlet to clip onto a beings arm. Without this, the phenomenal recoil power
created could injure the user more than the target. Iron grey plating covers much of the internal workings, but
whilst loaded a loud whirring emanates from deep within, mechanisms constantly working to prevent the gun
overloading. With this whirring comes regular jettisons of steam to release heat, without which the launcher
could potentially detonate, obliterating a large radius.
Bio: A blue sphere of living energy acts as the power source for the launcher. When fired, a small bolt of metal
passes through the sphere at phenomenal speed, collecting some of the energy as it passes through. Upon impact
with the enemy, the metal bolt pierces any external armour, allowing the energy to reach the organism. Once it
does, the energy works similarly to a Rhotuka disk such as that of Roodaka’s. It does not destroy any mass of the
organism, merely transforms it. Dependant on the user, the transformation can be positive or negative. It can
transform the target in any way, even mutate them, or strengthen the target. The possibilities are only limited by
the creatures who can use the launcher, as every individual causes a different effect.
Shadowstar Glaive
Creator: -Vezerus the GreatDescription: A large, rugged throwing glaive with four blades and the symbol of the Brotherhood of Makuta as
its centerpiece.
Bio: Shortly after the transformation of the Makuta to their energy state, the Vortixx created a kind of metal
from metallic protodermis, volcanic rocks and a meteorite which crashed off the coast of Xia. The metal turned
out to be stronger than regular protodermis, but still not as strong as protosteel.
Later, a Makuta traveled to Xia to investigate Makuta Kojol's mysterious death, and toured by the Vortixx across
the island, he was shown the beautiful, strong and steady ingots of metal that was the result of their earlier
experiments. He ordered the metal to be kept safe and sold to no one, and came back to Destral to discuss with
the Brotherhood.
Makuta Teridax was intrigued by this astounding discovery, and sent someone to bring some of the metal to the
fortress for studying, and get some for his private use. The messenger came to the forge-filled island and bought
most of the metal for the Brotherhood. Later, Teridax came personally to Xia and ordered them a versatile,
practical weapon with the symbol of the Brotherhood out of the leftover metal.
After a few months, he was notified that his order was finished and had been delivered to Destral. It was a glaive,
several feet long and sharper than a Visorak's teeth. In its first days out of the forge, it was kept in a cooling
chamber in Makuta Chirox' laboratory, viruses and chemicals poured upon it day after day after day. When it
was brought out, it was covered in a layer of frost made out of acidic waters that constantly regenerate. As a final
25
touch, its Makuta owner imbued it with the power of shadow.
Then, it was mounted on the walls of the Makuta fortress for display, which kept many wondering of its full
potential.
Seismic Power Launcher
Creator: ~Maxilos~
Description: A large two handed weapon that launches seismic field generators consisting of Protodermic shells
and magnetic power cells.
Bio: The Vortixx had never thought of this kind of weapon before. Existing Seismic technology was scarce, but
the ideas for it were already being developed. Concentrated Earth energy in a shell didn’t work, so the idea for
powerful seismic generators was invented. The idea of the weapons being strong enough to shake entire islands
was scrapped, due to how the buyers wanted a device that stayed active for a long time. The battery strength for
the old design was too weak, so the seismic generators went from weapons launched from vehicles to small
handheld devices used to knock out personnel sized enemies using miniature Earthquakes.
The thrower was designed when the beings using the seismic generators couldn’t throw it hard enough to reach
targets at long range. So, the thrower was constructed as a device similar to a Zamor Launcher. The quick fire
clip allows for the user to spread out the generators quickly, and is easier to reload than most weapons used by
recent Toa teams. The throwing strength of the grenade is determined by how long the trigger is held.
The ammunition itself is quite innovative. It launches shockwaves of concentrated magnetic energy that can
launch an enemy about a bio, keeping him or her from entering the site where the device is thrown. The battery
activates after the weapon has struck the ground. The grenade itself is prone to bouncing when it strikes hard
surfaces, and so is most effective in sandy areas where it can imbed itself into the ground. Fortresses can prove
quite a challenge for the grenade, as it can bounce around the walls. A skilled marksman is still able to bounce
the grenade properly. The Seismic Power Launcher is a handy weapon in the hands of a grenadier or marksman,
and can prove quite an annoyance to the enemies caught in its seismic grasp.
Lightning Harrier
Creator: Toa Kopaka Freak
Description: It looks much like any other sword, but is hollow inside with a black hilt, usually very large so that
it may telescope into itself for stealth purposes, appearing to be a staff.
Bio: It is an extremely fast weapon, allowing anyone who wields it to strike several blows in one second. If the
user is wearing a Kakama, then the strike speed is doubled. It is the weapon of choice for very rich Dark Hunters.
I changed the name and the description (slightly).
26
Electrical Shock Wave
Creator: Nara
Description: This weapon looks much like Spiriah's Claw, but with a second Jetpack on the bottom. It is also
blue, and has wires wrapped on to the Air Katanas.
Bio: This weapon was created by the Xians after Teridax Rebelled. A team of Toa bought it, but lost it when
fighting the BoM. The BoM took it, and kept it in storage.
Elemental Gun-Scythe
Creator: Toa Nidhiki05
Description: A blaster-type weapon that attaches to a wall in gun form, or can transformed into a sword-like
weapon made out of the user's element by pushing a button.
Bio: Created by Xians for use by Toa and Makuta, the weapon was a popular weapon for a time, due to it's ability
to turn from a gun-like weapon into a sword. After Toa and Makuta stopped using it, production on it stopped,
mainly because the weapon can only be used by beings with elemental power, as the gun uses the Elemental
Energy as a sort of fuel, and the Scythe is made out of the user's primary element. It was only recently
rediscovered and has been mostly used by Skadi and element-wielding Dark Hunters, and has been a great help.
The Gun form can shoot a small blast of solid Protodermis, intended to be shot at the legs to stop an enemy in
their tracks, or at the arms to prevent attacks. It can also be mounted onto a wall and programmed to blast
intruders. The Scythe is made out of the user's primary element, and has varying power levels when used with
different elements. The Scythe tends to be more powerful when an element like Iron or Stone is used, and weaker
when one like Air or Water is used, due to it being made out of the user's element.
Nui Gauntlets
Creator: Zahaku toa of Rahi
Description: Thick armored gauntlets that reach to the elbow. Gold in color and has a hidden blade which can
be extended. They usually have designs of dragon and serpent Rahi.
Bio: It was developed as an experiment to see if it was possible to bring out hidden elemental powers in beings
that seemed have none. The experiment was a failure in all but one species that demanded that the Xians will not
tell anyone who they were (they paid a little extra just incase) . The Gauntlets themselves have tiny needles inside
the "arm-holes" that absorbs elemental energies from the users armor and tissues to the tip of the gauntlet. The
user can then fire their hidden element or cover a protosteel weapon in that element for more damage.
27
The Ivory Cannon
Creator: The Memory
Description: True to its namesake, pure white with highlights of blue. Looks like three long, narrow tubes with a
single flexible pipe coming out of the joint end. Has three blue rings circling the mouth of each tube. Two hinges
to attach to the user's shoulders.
Bio: One of the more mystical and rare weapons created by the Xians, the Ivory Cannon is more deadly than it
looks.
Used often against beings with physical bodies, these Cannons caused the loss of many a Toa during the wars.
The Ivory Cannon works by feeding energy into the Mist compartment via the pipe that is attached to the user's
back. The Mist compartment takes the energy and dilutes and solidifies it, thus forming the ammo. The ammo is
then fired out of the tubes through compression.
Once the ammo hits a desired target, it will rapidly sublime into Mist. This Mist can cause temporary blindness,
and slows down an affected being's thinking capabilities. The worst effect is that if a being is hit with an overdose
of the Mist, he or she will flicker and disappear, reappearing at random. On certain misty islands, bodies of
long-dead Toa and Dark Hunters can be seen flickering in and out of sight.
The users of the Ivory Cannons are not affected by their own Mist energy.
Mentally alert beings often know where their targets are through the Mist, and know well enough to take
advantage when their target reappears, often felling them with blows from another cannon. That way, they will
not have to clean up the bodies so soon - they just need to wait for it to reappear.
The downside of using a weapon such as the Ivory Cannon is that it quickly wears the user out, running him or
her out of energy within minutes, especially if the user turns the Ivory Cannon on rapid-fire. The steel used to
make the Cannon is also quite unstable - it reacts violently to shadow energy, causing it to explode and release
large amounts of the Mist after only a few shots.
Nonetheless, there were a few Makuta foolish enough to use them. Only one survived.
Hagah Nuva Axe-Bow
Creator: Tomdroidser
Description: Look at it one way, it's a pickaxe. Look at another way, it’s a crossbow.
Bio: The workers of Xia were grateful for the help of the Toa Nuva and Toa Hagah. In gratitude, they created a
dual-use weapon and named it after them. When held like a melee weapon, it creates powerful shockwaves that
passes the target. When a Mask of Strength is used, it becomes powerful enough to scratch Protosteel. In its
crossbow mode, it can hit targets 1 kio away, assuming that the wielder is a master of the crossbow or wearing a
Mask of Accuracy. The crossbow ammo is just a solid beam of energy. When fired, it produces a stunning blow
28
that would dent armor and temporarily immobilize the target.
Wrath of the Shadowed One
Creator: ice dino land
Description: A medium-sized red and black rifle
Bio: Named in honor of the leader of the Dark Hunters, the ones who requested Xians the weapon's invention
back in the Toa/DH war, Wrath of TSO is a rifle equipped with a laser generator, again to honor TSO's
disintegrating eyebeams. The metal from which is made the rifle is impervious to the laser shots. The generator
can churn out up to a 100 shots when fully charged. The only downturn is it takes 30 minutes for it to recharge
AND be used again when the 100 lasers have been shot. Capable of making burns to a Toa armor, the lasers
become even deadlier in "Wrath" mode.
By opening a specifically designed hole in the rifle's barrel, the user can put in a crystal. When he fires a shot, the
laser gets difused into hundreds of tinier lasers by the crystal. In nanoseconds, they rebound in the barrel of the
rifle and when they get out, those tiny lasers fuse in many directions, cutting through weak structures or small
Rahi and annoying larger foes like Toa. The downturn with this mode is that the crystal can only withstand 10
laser shots. It simply breaks if another shot is fired. A bayonet is installed at the rifle's front and, depending on
the energy the generator has left, the user can press a special trigger to turn it into a grenade which can go from
knocking out a Toa to a simple flash-bang. The rifle is destroyed if this is done.
[NOTE: Can also be called "Wrath of TSO".]
EMP Canister Launcher
Creator: Rausaro
Description: The Weapon is a metalloid color, two handed {for toa-sized entities}, and large, but within
reasonable dimensions.
Bio: Made from a durable and light metal, the launcher is fairly light when unloaded, but it becomes more
difficult to handle when loaded. The Xian weapons manufacturers decided to compromise, so they made a
hand-held version that has a unique slotted front with four canister slots. Unlike most ballistic type weapons, the
EMP launcher is not intended to be fatal; rather, it is designed to be perhaps one of the simplest
anti-Biomechanical\Robotic weapons with a surprising punch.
When triggered, the launcher uses a compressed gas to accelerate the canister; to help with acquiring the
trajectory for any additional shots, it leaves a visible trail of gas.
The canister itself is about the size of a matoran hand; however, the dense material used in the canister is quite
heavy, resulting in limited ammunition. However, against most targets, it makes up for its lack of ammunition
through sheer power.
29
When the elongated round hits a mechanical target, such as an Exo-toa, Vahki, or Boxor, it instantly disrupts all
but the most shielded components, usually resulting in a de-activated machine in dire need of repair internally.
The effect on partial biologics {Matoran, Toa} is in research right now, but it appears that some cases it causes
paralysis of the limbs for a short amount of time by interfering with the mechanical portions of the
Toa\Matoran; the dual organic nature of some creatures prevents permanent damage. Makuta are likely immune
to the EMP effects, but it may hamper armor movement.
The weapon is designed to target one target at a time, and its slow reload time requires a hit with the first four
shots.
The EMP part of the canister is created by a special fusion of Magnetic and Electrical Kanoka, while the casing is
made of dense protodermis that shatters on impact with the target.
Kanoka Amplification Launcher (KAL)
Creator: Master of the Rahkshi
Description: An oblong tube of dark silver metal about one foot wide and four feet long; multiple clear crystal
lenses framed by metal extending from firing end (Personnel model)
Bio: When the Matoran invented Kanoka on Metru Nui, Xia immediately rushed to do the same, and a team of
Vortixx were assigned to recreate the process of creating disks of power. They soon succeeded, creating Kanoka
of all levels and powers, including elemental disks. They also made a side discovery: how to infuse the abilities of
the Kanoka into a short-range device. Their initial enthusiasm gave way when tests revealed that, although the
power of the device did not fade like Kanoka do, the energy bursts released from the devices were unfocused and
dissipated after two bios.
The project was shelved and forgotten, until another Vortixx came across it during a project that was attempting
to amplify elemental abilities of various beings. The experiment was a failure, but the research gave the crafter an
idea. Encasing the device in a hardened protodermis shell designed to funnel energy towards an opening on one
end, she attached one of the focusing lenses developed by the project to it.
The result was that the lens both increased the power of the blast and gave it a greater range of several dozen
bios, producing a bolt of power with the strength of a level seven Kanoka. She also discovered that multiple
lenses could be attached to the device, with each lens giving the bolt greater range and strength. This allowed the
weapon, dubbed the Kanoka Amplification Launcher, or KAL, to be made into anything from a double-handed
Toa weapon to a massive anti-vehicle turret, each device capable of having a specific Kanoka or elemental power.
However, there is a drawback: the more lenses attached, the more unstable the energy, and the greater the risk
that the amplifying assembly will be destroyed. On the largest weapons, attached to buildings and meant to shoot
down airships, the assembly cracks after three shots, and a dedicated team of engineers must remain on standby
to replace the lenses. The Vortixx are secretly attempting to produce a siege model capable of destroying
buildings; all attempts have been met with spectacular failure, and apparently, a breakthrough is nowhere near.
Nevertheless, Xia produces several dozen KAL models a year, all of which are snapped up by eager clients of all
30
species and affiliations.
Nui Comet
Creator: Avlok Mahri
Description: It is a Zamor-Cordak mixture, with the Zamor sphere in the middle of the Cordaks. It has a mini
computer on it that is voice activated.
Bio: The Nui Comet is capable of taking a scan of an object then you choose what object(s) you want to shoot
out of the Cordak slots and the Zamor part of it is capable of shooting a stasis bubble around you for a set
amount of time. Short-time if the sphere was launched close to the target and a long time if it was shot faraway.
Also the Zamor can hold elemental powers, or just be used for storage. Also there are three modes Standard,
Sniper, and Burst. Burst releases all 6 Cordaks and 1 Zamor sphere at the same time.
Advanced Protodermis Net Launcher (ANPL)
Creator: Itachi Uchiha
Description: The weapon is a long gun-shaped object with a barrel tapering to a sharp point. The barrel can
make it useful in melee fights. It requires no extra pack to be carried; however you can use a pack to increase the
amount of ammunition. The ammo (highly pressurized molten protodermis) is housed in a heat-proof container
on the gun, and it’ll last for about 1000 shots. It fires two different types of projectiles, in the form of bullets. The
first kind is the standard one. As the bullet hits the target, it reacts like a Zamor, opening its contents. The target
is then wrapped in a protodermis net.
The net is like a form of molten protodermis (albeit cooled down) that conducts electricity, is slightly magnetic,
and is viscoelastic (meaning that it bends like rubber, but will return to its original position after the stress on it
is released). It can be used to restrain targets. However, the area it affects is very small. The gun shoots fairly
rapidly (60 shots per minute) to counter its weakness. The second projectile is just like the first, except that
protodermis crystals are exuded from the net if stress is applied to it. If needed, both nets will electrify the target
with a current from the gun.
Bio: A lone weapons maker in Xia tried to make the most technologically advanced weapon he could (not
necessarily the most deadly). However, some mysterious organization stole it from him when he finished, and its
location is now unknown.
Fire-Eyed Wasp
Creator: Family Guy
Description: A small, robotic object about the shape and size of a mosquito. It has a hollow body that contains a
short amount of heat. There are six long legs around the body that have suction cups on the end. On the top of
the body are two wings. The object’s head, which has eyes made of magnifying glass, is attached to the body
through a neck that can expand and contract.
31
Bio: This item has the ability to burn through almost any object, even protosteel. After much research, the
Vortixx discovered a way to duplicate a Toa of Fire’s ability to absorb heat. This allows it to get stored inside the
Wasp. If too much is absorbed, however, it would melt. Once the object is completed, it is about the size of a
Matoran. A high level Kanoka Disk with the Shrinking power is then used to greatly decrease the object’s size.
The Wasp can either be placed on an object manually, or it could be fired through a Cordak launcher.
Once it has reached the object that it is supposed to burn, the Wasp sticks to it with the suction cups on its legs.
The Wasp then channels the heat out of its body through its eyes. The magnifying lenses that the eyes are made
out of amplify the heat into a high-powered beam. While this happens, the Wasp’s neck lengthens, and the Wasp
moves around in a circle. This creates a deep hole with a diameter of about eight inches. There is a slight chance,
however, that the heat could burn through the Wasp. To combat this, each Wasp is equipped with a low
powered Regeneration Disk inside of it that was also shrunk.
The two main uses fo the Fire-Eyed Wasp are to break into a building, or for the Wasp to create a hole in a
Makuta’s armor during battle, causing it’s Antidermis to leak out. By the time the Makuta in question knows
what’s happening, the hole would probably be at least halfway completed, with a bit of Antidermis already
pouring out. The latter reason is why the Wasp is extremely useful for Dark Hunters. The downside to the
Fire-Eyed Wasp is that each one only contains enough heat to create one hole.
Smoke Blaster XTT3 / Solid Protodermis Far-Slinger
Creator: Lhilertoro
Description: The Smoke Blaster is a 10 barrelled, silver, long weapon that first fired solid protodermic cannon
balls but now shoots balls of smoke. Some of the models have a bayonet mounted on top of it which could spray
smoke.
Bio: The Smoke Blaster was invented by a Le-Matoran of Metru Nui in the Matoran Civil War when he was
fending off Rahi in the Archives Massacre. He later after gave it a name in treespeak: the Solid Protodermis
Far-Slinger.
It was first used to fire balls of solid protodermis but then a Vortixx, who had a mix-up with the Smoke Blaster
and the Cordak Blaster which was new back then, modified it into a weapon which was able to fire smoke which
could stun or even give a temporary loss of memory. The Smoke Blaster could also be changed into spray mode.
Makuta Kojol had attempted to test the old model with pods infected with the virus used to create Rahi. The
Matoran of Metru Nui/Mata Nui had even tried to launch Hoto Bugs and Madu Cabolo. It was rumored that the
Cordak was based on this.
The blaster had disappeared around three thousand years ago after the Toa-Dark Hunter War. It is rumored that
the Zamor Launcher had replaced the Smoke Blaster when Nidhiki and Krekka raided the island of Nynrah,
bringing the Zamor back into fashion. But there had been no evidence.
The ammo must be collected and put inside the barrel. When the trigger is pressed a special chamber with a
special chemical is inserted into another chamber filled with another type of chemical. The result is an explosion
32
which sends the ammo hurtling through the air. A special programming could be made so that all ten ammos are
fired at the same time.
M.A.W. (Matoran Assault Weapon)
Creator: Burzners
Description: Resembles a miniature midak able to fit in Matoran hands with a elongated barrel and skinnier
frame. Usually made from scrap metal. Color varies on the the scrap metal but if on a rare occasion it's made
"fresh" has a basic silver color.
Bio: During the Matoran civil war, one of opposing sides was trying to invent a cheap but powerful weapon. A
Le- engineer using his knowledge the chutes for transportation from Metru-nui created it. They were hand made
by the Matoran who used them as their side had little income for factory production. Instead the blueprints of
them were sent to the troops.With what metallic protodermis the Matoran found they assembled the weapons
and forged it's ammunition. the quality of these ranged from unusable metal to a perfected firearm.
It fired bits of concussion driven metal at a high rate, but could only hold four bits at a time, so it was likely for a
unskilled user to not hit anything and would have reload constantly.It was also prone to overheating and could
scald the user hand. But despite all the flaws it greatly turned the tide of battle as it was a quick lethal weapon as
opposed too the disk launcher, until the opposite side got their hands on the weapon their self and mass
produced for their army. Today they can be found from black markets, but most were destroyed along with their
blueprints and the use of them outlawed
Shockwave Mace
Creator: Repicheep
Description: The Shockwave Mace is shaped like most other maces with a silver handle and head, and spikes
protruding from the round head.
Bio: The Shockwave Mace can be used as a melee weapon, or, when mentally triggered or slammed against
something, it creates a devastating shockwave. When triggered in the air, this translates into sonic boom,
disorienting enemies long enough to flee or move in for the kill. When slammed against a liquid, such as water
or lava, the shockwave becomes a tsunami strong enough to capsize a small fishing boat. And when slammed
against the ground, it forms an earthquake tremor with enough power to throw a Toa-sized being off his feet.
When the mace strikes the ground/liquid with the handle sticking straight up, the shockwave forms a complete
circle, growing out in all directions, but when the surface is struck with the handle sideways, it forms a
concentrated wave that moves out in the direction in which the wielder points the mace.
One other use for the Shockwave Mace occurs duing melee combat. If the wielder of the weapon can time it
correctly and trigger the weapon right as he strikes an enemy, the shockwave will be translated into the being,
sending him flying backwards at an astounding speed.
33
Drone Thrower
Creator: Sir Koji
Description: A large box mounted on a handle with trigger. The box, handle and trigger are all grey as default,
like a Kanohi, they take color as the user takes it. On the end of the box is four sets of flaps that cover the end,
hidden inside are many small spiked disks which fly out mentally on command. On top of the box is a dug in
handle to be held due to the weight of the weapon.
Bio: It was commonly used in the past due to its usefulness. It didn't require any memorization of complex
controls or anything of the matter, so anyone like a Toa who used a Kanohi would feel right at home. By
reaching out with the mind, like a Kanohi, the box will open and the discs can be controlled mentally, though the
mind can only go so far, so usually only about three discs at a time can be used. Though the weapon stopped
being used as commonly more recently due to the mental concentration, especially in the Brotherhood/Dark
Hunter War where the time to use this isn't granted, along with other beings, like Matoran, Rahi, etc. being
unable to use this weapon since they can't use Kanohi.
Recycler Blaster
Creator: Kiotu
Description: The Recycler Blaster is a two handed (although larger species like Brutaka's might be able to hold it
in one) medium sized blaster. The blaster is rounded on the outside and is a fairly inexpensive mechanism.
Bio: The Recycler Blaster is a fairly simple weapon. The blaster consists of a protodermic tube, with a magnet at
the back. The trigger on the gun activates this magnet. A small switch in hands reach of the handle switches the
magnetic field, and instead of magnetic objects attracted towards it, they are repelled.
Troops that use this blaster (really anyone who buys it) are often sent out with the Recycler Blaster, after major
battles to collect metallic protodermis found in debris. By holding down the trigger, the magnet inside the blaster
is turned on and metallic protodermis is attracted into the tube shaped blaster. When enough is collected, the
gun will automatically activate a pressurizer which compresses the metallic protodermis into a small sphere. This
can be repeated until the the blaster's capacity of spheres is filled (which is about four spheres).
When in battle, the switch on the exterior of the blaster is turned to the 'repel function'. While this is selected, a
small rim of metal folds down around the mouth of the gun, and whenever you hold down the trigger, the
magnet repels the metallic protodermis spheres out of the blaster. However, the rim around the mouth of the
gun prevents the spheres from being fired. The pressure builds up, and will continue to build up until a button is
pressed (next to the switch which changes the flow of the magnet's magnetic field) which makes the rim retreat.
However, the blaster also has a fail-safe of ten seconds so that the blaster doesn't build up too much pressure.
When shot, the sphere will deliver a powerful (though nowhere near lethal) blow. Only after several shots to an
exposed head will result in a fatality, though this is unlikely, as a single blaster will only hold a total of ten
spheres. Any wielder of the Recycler Blaster will most likely also have a supply of back-up ammo, as four shots
almost never last an entire battle. Though troops wielding this weapon will also most likely use metallic
34
protodermis found in debris as their first round, to save at least a bit of money.
Visorak Gauntlet
Creator: Th._
Description: The Visorak Gauntlet is shaped similarly to a gold and gray Visorak. It has a hole in the area of
where the Rhotuka would have been, if it were a real visorak. It also has numerous tubes and hydraulics on it.
Bio: When it's not on someone's wrist, the legs of the Visorak Gauntlet are splayed out. However, when
somebody makes contact with it, the 'visorak' stands up, jumps, and latches on to whoever touched it, wrapping
its legs around their wrist.
The 'eyes' of the 'visorak' also glow a bright green, which shows that it is activated. The Gauntlet has two
functions. One of them, activated by pressing one 'eye', the mandibles on the 'visorak' enlarge and lengthen,
making it a fairly dangerous melee weapon. The second is that, by pressing the other 'eye', the 'mouth' opens and
glows green. It can then fire zamors from the mouth, loaded from where the rhotuka on an actual Visorak would
be.
However, it can also fire bursts of pure energy, taken from the wielder.
Kinetic Mag-Rifle (K.M.R.)
Creator: Descardion
Description: The rifle's basic shape consists of a bio-long barrel, with a long, curved blade attached to the back
for melee attacks and added weight (for extra stability, the weapon is rather unwieldy). Several metallic rings run
up and down the length of the barrel without touching (save for a thin wire) in part due to the magnetic
properties of the metals used in it's manufacturing. These rings play a large part in the rifle's firing mechanism,
which consists of several clockwork mechanisms and an energy cell.
Bio: The Kinetic Mag-Rifle was originally intended as an anti-armor weapon, but was reassigned to an
anti-personnel role. The K.M.R's firing mechanism works like this: Powered by the various clockwork gears in
the body, the rings power up and down the length of the barrel via trigger, creating a violent magnetic charge.
The energy cell located behind the barrel - once another trigger is pulled- then discharges kinetic energy
throughout the K.M.R, releasing the magnetic field in the form of a lethal, focused burst, capable of shattering
even the toughest armor.
The mechanics behind the weapon are rather absurd by Vortixx standards, but the payoff is excellent efficiency
and maximum firepower. The drawback? It's recoil is also lethal. Not for the faint of heart. If the power cell fails,
the K.M.R can be used as a melee weapon.
35
Capture Blaster
Creator: TuragaIruini934
Description: It looks somewhat like a Cordak blaster, only it's square and has two large holes in the front instead
of six small holes.
Bio: The Capture blaster is used on almost every island except for the Southern Continent, Artahka, Destral, and
Daxia. It is used primarily for capturing medium sized Rahi that could harm inhabitants and structures. After
using an aiming mechanism on the side, the user presses a button on the side that releases a net large enough to
capture a Kikanalo, trapping the Rahi in a net that is very hard to break out of (the only known Rahi able to
break out are Fader Bulls and Phase Dragons).
After this, the trapper can then decide what to do with the Rahi, though on Metru Nui most take them to Po and
Ga-Matoran to heal them and tame them. These have also been known to capture Frostelus, and have proved
very effective with capturing these Rahi that are roaming Metru Nui. Also, Nuparu has decided to take one to see
if he can make modifications and even equip it to the Boxors that are being used in Metru Nui.
Gravity Claw
Creator: Toa Argan Toa of Stone
Description: A metal protodermis pipe with a shaft inside to grip and a claw on the end.
Bio: Created by the Vortixx to be used to strengthen metal. But when the first test
went awry it opened their eyes to its potential as a weapon. Most copies have been
kept by the Vortixx but the blueprints were stolen and the BoM and the DH have them.
The weapon works by taking gravity from one area, storing it in the weapon and then unleashing
it in a blast that pins every living thing in a ten metre radius to the ground for 1 minute.
The blast comes out in a ball similar to that of a Tridax pod and explodes on impact.
Dark Hunters have also been known to use the claw as a grappling hook.
Dark Spectral
Creator: Takuta-Nui
Description: The Dark Spectral is a flat black disk that easily fits in a Matoran’s hand. One side possesses an
extremely strong magnetic lock that can be attached firmly to any face, with or without a Kanohi. The other side
bears a strap that is also magnetic, wrapping itself firmly around the holding hand with the disk itself resting in
the palm.
Bio: The Dark Spectral is designed as the ultimate mercy. Instead of killing an opponent (it is assumed that this
would be the intent of the user if s/he did not possess the Dark Spectral), the Dark Spectral simply needs to come
in solid contact with the opponent’s face for the magnetic lock to establish itself and for the process to activate.
The opponent’s spirit is removed from the body and stored in the Dark Spectral, where it remains dormant. Up
to eight spirits can be stored in the Dark Spectral, but each extraction requires a great amount of energy, and in
36
some cases could kill the user for want of energy. This is most likely to occur when the opponent has a great deal
more energy than the user, such as a Matoran using the Dark Spectral against a Makuta.
The Dark Spectral is not designed to release the stored spirit(s), but if the infrastructure is damaged to such an
extent that it releases the spirit(s), the spirit(s) will be free but be unable to interact with the material universe. It
is unknown if the spirit(s) will be able to enter and control a spiritless body, and it is also unknown if time has
any effect on a stored spirit.
Production methods are unknown, although it can be assumed that the concept and/or function of a Kanohi
Iden is involved.
Thermal Devastator
Creator: ChocoLvr13
Description: The Thermal Devastator (TTD) is about one half bio, or two and one fourth feet long. The Vortixx
that made it simply remembered the 3 S's. It is sleek, silver, and streamlined. It is a cylindrical figure, jutting out
near the center, forming a spike. If you look inside of the opening, you will not see anything, it has a door that
opens automatically when the trigger is pushed.
The wires along the edges are almost like lightwire, but they change color for the temperature you set. The lower
it is, the closer it will be to white, the hotter, the blacker. It goes, in order from coldest; white, light blue, blue,
dark blue, yellow, orange, red, dark-red, black. There are hundreds of settings in between those colors; however,
these are the main ones. When shot, the lights glow much brighter, showing that the weapon needs to regain
power.
Bio: This weapon shoots Thermal Energy, from ice-cold to red-hot and everything in between. When shot, it
goes in a straight line, so the shooter needs good aim. It is also quite loud, like a Vahki Transport over your head
kind of loud. There is no means of deafening that sound. When struck, it engulfs the being in something from a
cube of ice to something close to a small volcano eruption. Although you can only fire it once every hour,
because it needs time to charge up.
Cordak Rifle
Creator: SAmaster
Description: Appearance wise, it is a long and thin rifle. Usually it is silver in color with black bands
representing the magnets used to fire the ammo.
Bio: Development began roughly 350 years ago by three male Vortixx, named after its predecessor it is a light
weapon about the same length of an average Vortixx's forearm. The handle is covered, and has a crosshair on
top, with has four barrels coming out, meaning four shots, and uses the revolver-esque firing system used in
Cordak blasters.
The ammo is made out of balls of refined protodermic steel about the size of a stone (note that it is not
37
Protosteel). It works with an internal clockwork mechanism, with ammo loaded next to the crosshair on top of
the rifle. the ammo is propelled out of the barrels with use of magnetic rings keeping the ammo in mid air while
speeding it down the end of the barrel, firing them at a blink of an eye. When shot at varying degrees of armor, it
has been shown that it is strong enough to pierce chestplates from 30 bios away.
It has an advantage that it is light, , silent, and stealthy, as well as the size of the ammo lets one hold a large
amount shots, but a disadvantage in that it is difficult to manufacture (the off the shelf type have problems when
used to frequently, and have to be maintained), but if the buyer is willing to pay more than the usual amount, it
can be made without such problems, as well being custom made to fit over ones arm, armed with a laser sight, a
scope, or even a bayonet.
It also causes minimal damage, and is lethal only for a enemy with a Toa sized armor, and then, only when it hits
a vital area, such as the head, or heartlight, however, this shouldn't be a problem for sharp shooters.
The main buyers of the weapons are the Dark Hunters trying to redesign it for battle against Makuta, as well as
for Hunters currently on unknown missions.
Custom orders have included ones with longer barrels designed for long range use.
When the trigger is pulled, the clockwork system is activated, and the ammo is shot through the rings, speeding
up, and is fired from the barrel of the riffle. when the shot is through, the barrels turn, and the riffle is ready to
fire.
Star Charged Blaster Sword
Creator: Avohkah's Sparks
Description: A weapon that looks like a cross between a Air Saber and Vahki Bordahk Staff that can shoot
charged shots of energy.
Bio: When the Brotherhood of Makuta asked for a weapon that could be use by their less experienced members
and more powerful and trusted lieutenants the Xians developed the Star Charged Blaster Sword. The weapon
receives its ammo by absorbing light or electric based attacks or it can absorb energy directly from a power
source, and also if it runs out of power it can absorb energy directly from the use, but the effect can be very
draining and if used is done so reluctantly. After the sword is charged it can be set to two modes, the first of
witch sends an energy shot that can paralyze a foe.
The second function is an energy shot that blasts the armor off the enemy. A popular way the Star Charged
Blaster Sword is used is by using the second function to blast off the armor off the enemy and then using the
paralyze function on their exposed organic parts. When the sword is used in this way it has a 50% chance of
killing you and a 50% chance of putting you in a coma. The Makuta are immune to the paralyze function
because it works on organic muscles and they have none. The Star Charged Blaster Sword got its name from the
fact that when fired it lights up like a star before releasing a blinding flash.
38
[Elemental] Energy Crossbow
Creator: Vornazar Nui
Description: A crossbow that looks like a bird (head, wings, tail, arms with talons).
Bio: The Energy crossbow is a crossbow that can fire bolts of elemental energy. The element of the bolt is the
element of the user(makuta-shadow bolt; great being-who knows what).
History
It was an ordinary crossbow made to shoot bamboo arrows when made. After it was made, it fell into a pool of
energized protodermis giving it 'life'. It wreaked havok in his workshop so he attempted to throw it away. It flew
away before that could happen.
What it does now
At the moment, it's location is unown. The known abilities of this weapon is to fire bolts of energy at visible
opponents without being in the hands of the user, firing blasts of elemental energy(1/45 of the level of a nova
blast (Gali's nova blast can flood all of Karzahni and level every building; the crossbow can flood a river, or wash
a building with a high pressure water jet), scratch with it's talons, peck, fire normal arrows, and other bird
capabilities. Each attack must be done within the users cone of vision(unless wild). The use of elemental bolts or
blasts use elemental power, so when the user's elemental power is used up, it can no longer shoot bolts of power
(or it can use the user's life force). It is one of the only weapons known to act on its own.
Vertex Ophidian
Creator: Gordy
Description: The Vertex Ophidian itself is an armless, four-legged Rahi, named for it's razor sharp "tail" at its
posterior. Its most striking feature, however, is its long, streamlined body, with sharp spines and small horns
embroidened around it. The eyes are located near the bottom, and help the Rahi to see attackers coming form
the front or behind. These eyes are also helpful when the Vertex Ophidian is attached to another creature, as it
can detect an attacker from behind, thus making many assassinations and stealth attacks preventable. It is a
biomechanical Rahi, like most, but it appears to have "scales" across its body. The natural dark colors of this Rahi
and its fearsome appearance make it a weapon of choice for many.
The Vertex Ophidian also has a "chameleon-like" ability that allows it to blend in with its wearer. This is also a
primary defense mechanism it uses unattached, to hide from predators or captors. The mouth of the Vertex
Ophidian, located on its underside, is usually unseen as it is hidden when it is attached to a warrior.
Nevertheless, the sharp fangs and cuspids within its mouth make it a natural predator.
Bio: An unlikely weapon, the Vertex Ophidian is a Rahi, meaning it is a living sentient biomechanical creature
that serves its purpose as a melee weapon. Grasping its four legs onto the body of its bearer, the Vertex Ophidian
acts as a long, whiplike "tail" of sorts. These Vertex Ophidians were first put to use after the Great Cataclysm, and
with wars beginning to sprout all over, these Rahi became mainstream weapons for assassins and those working
undercover alike. The dark appearance of many Vertex Ophidians became a powerful selling point of the
39
weapon as fearsome warlords or other types of leaders used it to darken their appearance, used mainly for
intimidation.
The main use of the Vertex Ophidian is to strike opponents by flailing its body into them. When it is attached, it
appears to look as if the wearer is simply lashing their "tail" into an opponent. The Vertex Ophidian are also
known for their adaptivity; they absorb and use the elemental ability of the last thing that struck it. It is not
uncommon to see an attached Vertex Ophidian spewing plasma or water from its the tip of its cephalothorax.
Many Vortixx weapons developers have experimented on the Vertex Ophidian. Some mutations and varieties
have sprouted from this, with such Vertex Ophidians having more than one cephalothoraxes (the "tails"), altered
coloration patterns, and even the ability to absorb more than one elemental ability. Of the more rare mutations,
a popular one is the ability to give a Vertex Ophidian a Kanohi mask. The ability to experiement and personalize
a Vertex Ophidian leads of to the creature's ultra efficiency.
Overall, the Vertex Ophidian is not only an intimidating carnivorous Rahi, it is also a deadly weapon that serves
a multitude of purposes. It is "mass produced" only by the Vortixx of Xia.
Tarakava Blaster
Creator: Axinian the Chronicler
Description: Due to extremely high costs required for production of the weapon’s intricate systems, it has the
plain appearance of a handheld single barrel, mounted to a short stock containing the trigger mechanism.
Bio: Designed to attack and immobilize a target as quickly as it’s namesake, the Tarakava Blaster is a powerful
weapon favored by many bounty hunters and prison guards. The blaster’s barrel-mounted sensors will detect
and track any form of metallic protodermis in a range of twenty bios, in most cases, a fleeing biomechanical
being. Once the user finds his quarry, he will command the weapon to lock onto its protodermis signature. The
round is fired using a trigger mechanism which releases a heavily compressed canister of air, which will propel
the projectile out of the barrel at a low velocity.
After it clears the barrel, the bullet’s systems will activate, triggering a tiny version of the motor used by the
airships of Metru Nui. This will propel the round forward towards the target. The bullet will then use a series of
front-mounted sensors to detect and track the strongest form of metallic protodermis in the area. As it flies, the
sensors will detect any different form of protodermis, such as a tree. The propulsion system will adjust its course
to move around the object, effectively evading most obstacles. In most cases, the round will strike the runner
with non-lethal force, deploying four barbed hooks into the victim’s armor, holding the weapon in place. A
reinforced needle is then deployed from the center of the bullet, injecting the target with a concentrated stun gas
similar to that of the Kraahu. The target soon is unconscious, allowing the user of the weapon to move in and
retrieve their quarry.
While useful, the blaster is not infallible. The main flaw is that the sensors of the bullet only detect protodermis
in front of the weapon. Therefore, a quick runner or Kualsi wearer may run or teleport to the side, causing the
weapon to loose the lock and continue in a straight path until its energy is expended. The bullet is also attracted,
due to weaker sensors than the blaster, to the strongest source of metallic protodermis in the area. Therefore, any
40
large deposit of metal in range of the sensors may draw the round toward it, leading to the probable escape of the
target and waste of a very expensive bullet.
Gale Wind Staff
Creator: Toa Catora
Description: Staff that has four blades on its top end. The positioning of the blades make it look like a hand. The
two side blades are made from an Elemental Kanoka of Magnetism.
Bio: Part of a weapon cache sent to Metru Nui from Xia. It uses both the naturally-occuring forces of the
Bionicle Planet and the ability of two of it's magnetically-charged blades to create it s ability. When triggered by
the user, the two center blades start gathering air from the surrounding environment. The outward blades use
the magnetic properties of the Bionicle Planet and their own magnetism powers to create a magnetic sphere
around the gathered air, to keep it in place.
The central blades compress the air into a small, dense sphere, making it more charged, but less stable. To
compensate, the side blades make the magnetic energies around the air sphere thicker and smaller, to be strong
enough to contain the compressed air. When the orb leaves the "hand" and hits something, the part of the
surface of the magnetism sphere that hit the item/being ruptures, causing the air to burst out in a very focused
and powerful wave, sweeping away anything in it's path.
Drain Gun
Creator: Matas
Description: Two prongs on the front of a blue trapezoid-shaped loading area. The handle is C-shaped.
Bio: The gun fires red bolts that, when they hit a living target, they drain the life energy into the user. The bolts
are generated by an energy core that take energy from whatever it can convert to energy. The bolts act as a
conduit for the energy. They heal the user.
Kikanalo Prod
Creator: Mofroman007
Description: The Kikanalo Prod is a six foot long metal staff. On one end there is a set of three blades pointing
forward. Beneath those is another set of three blades pointing outwards at a 45 degree angle. Both sets of blades
are electrified. On the original version, the energy source is stored on the outside of the prod, but on the Xian
version, the source is hidden inside the prod.
Bio: Once there was a Matoran village on the southern continent that was attacked by a raiding party of Zyglak.
Most of the Matoran didn't have weapons, so the only tools they could use were their herding staffs. The staffs
were slightly electrified and were used to control Rahi herds, such as Kikanalo (thus the name Kikanalo Prod).
To the Matoran's surprise, the tools were effectively used to defend the village from the Zyglak and the Matoran
won the battle. Soon, the concept of the Kikanalo prod had spread all around the southern continent and other
41
islands. Even the Vortixx of Xia had heard of this amazing weapon that was now wielded by hundreds of
Matoran across the southern continent. Soon, the Xians started producing them. They took Kikanalo prod
design and made a few modifications: they made the electrical power lethally high, put the energy source inside
the staff, and attached a flamethrower to the other end. The weapon continues to be sold to Matoran
civilizations, but production has slowed since stronger electrical weapons have been introduced.
The V.X. Sonic Cannon
Creator: toa xion akua
Description: A rifle like frame with a broad barrel.
Bio. This rifle like weapon can fire a shockwave that can either stun or kill a opponent.
Dragon's Passage
Creator: nox nefaris
Description: The Dragon's Passage is the model a 32-Bio long moving tower carved in the shape of the Kanohi
Dragon. They are left undecorated, aside from the occasional markings as an attempt to instill further fear in the
enemy.
Bio: The Dragon's Passage is a model of siege weapon manufactured and designed by Vortixx. The Vortixx had
kept the Kanohi Dragon in captivity on their island ever since it was defeated on Metru Nui at the hands of
eleven Toa. More than impressed by the raw ferocity and power that the Kanohi Dragon possessed, the Vortixx
took the opportunity of having such a wild beast in their possession to create and perfect a series of siege
weapons based on it. Unfortunately, many of them were destroyed by the fighting between the Tahtorak and the
Kanohi Dragon.
In its final design, the Dragon's Passage siege weapon possesses many offensive capabilities. They each have a
minor furnace which burns with the raw energy of a reactive Heatstone, with a cylinder leading from the furnace
to the 'mouth' of the Dragon's Passage to allow jets of fire erupt onto structures. The 'head' of the weapon may be
used as a battering ram to smash down whatever may be in its path, regardless if it's a wall or a Matoran. They
are, however, incredibly slow, and require Rahi such as Kikanalo to move them.

Bio: The Xian Security Blaster is a weapon designed primarily for use by guards in high-security prisons to catch
prisoners escaping or attempting to escape using energy nets which trap the escapee and stun them with a mild
electrical shock. The blaster resembles a staff, two-thirds of a bio in length (3 ft), with four Catcher Claw-like
prongs on the sides. It is made of a lightweight metallic protodermis.
The blaster is activated by squeezing on the grip. The pressure causes a mechanism further up (one the drawing,
it is the part that looks like a little lightning bolt in a rectangle) to move slightly, closing an energy current with
the battery, which is located just above the handle. This energy flows upward to the four prongs. The energy,
greenish in color and now taking the form of thin lightning-like beams, spreads out between the prongs, forming
a square. More energy beams criss-cross between the sides of the square as more energy is pumped in, and at last
it takes the form of a net. Once this is completed, the net disconnects from the prongs and is absorbed into the
end of the staff. Finally, the energy net is launched forward at high speed. This entire process takes only seconds.
Once the net is deployed, it will (if aimed correctly) soon reach its target. Although the net starts out as being
only slightly more than a quarter of a bio wide (little more than a foot), once it makes contact with an object it
will quickly spread to completely surround anything, even a Titan of Botar's size (although at a certain point it
can stretch too thin and break, but that would require something really big). Once it is firmly constricting the
victim, the net will deliver a pacifying electrical shock to force them to the ground.
If the net is not dispelled by the blaster's wielder after about ten seconds, it will deliver a second shock, and
continue until it runs out of energy. The net does not shock the victim constantly.

Cockroach B-L
Creator: NI-HORNET001
Image with labeled parts
Bio: Exactly what the Cock Roach
can do is blast & launch. This
weapon uses light stones as ammo
as well as battery power, has a long
sharp melee blade, and is ultra light
weight for its size 3’ ½ to be exact.
Four different shooting modes
(rapid fire, laser beam, single shot & grenade beam launch) plus the look of its exterior & a decal of a frightening
face makes the Cock Roach one less Xian weapon you want to oppose!
Rapid fire mode shoots small yet damaging streaks of energy. Laser beam mode shoots a powerful energy beam
which last 5 seconds long. Single shot mode is more of a snipe and stun NON LETHAL shot which can leave
some enemies prone to capture. Grenade beam
releases an explosive ball of energy perfect for
breaking thru obstacles or enemies. Melee blade
is for up close combat encounters with enemies.
Battery Power is extremely long lasting!
Customer appeal: for those who wish to bite off
more than they can chew let the Cock Roach
return the favor to your enemies!
Elemental Blaster
Creator: Lhikan toa of fire
Bio: The Elemental Blaster is a weapon made on
Xia. It was given by Spiriah to the Skakdi. The
blaster is now probably used by some of the
Skakdi to control their elemental power, and to
blast their enemies with it.
The longer the weapon charges up, the stronger
the bullet gets. It is mounted on their shoulder
and attached on their arms.
44
Shadow Blaster
Creator: Lyger
Bio: The Shadow Blaster is a standard-issue stun-gun. It's mass produced in the factories of Xia. The blaster is
worn like a gauntlet over the hand and forearm, with a small shield providing protection for the firing arm and,
if the weapon is brought to bear, the wielder's face as well. If the shield is guarding the user's face, the slit may be
used to see out of and aim. The trigger is on a grip inside the blaster. When the hand squeezes the grip, the
blaster charges up, allowing the user to control the power of the stunning beam. Once the blaster is at the
appropriate power, a trigger under the forefinger is pressed and an electrical burst issues from the mouth of the
weapon.
On battery, the stun-gun can discharge enough power to seriously injure a Matoran, though not fatally, and
momentarily stun a Toa. In an emergency or combat situation, contacts inside the gauntlet part of the blaster
may be attached to the user's arm. The blaster then switches off of battery power and begins to draw energy
directly from the wearer. This allows for much more powerful blasts, since the blaster uses the wearer's body as
part of the capacitor that stores the discharge, as well as drawing energy from the wearer. At this higher energy
setting, one blast is enough to kill or permanently paralyze a Matoran, and on full power may be able to take a
Toa out of a battle. The danger is, obviously, that this setting is very draining on the wearer, and, if the he or she
fires shots too carelessly, may extract so much energy that the user falls unconscious or worse.
45
Blade of the Night
Creator: ~Air-Spirit-Lewa~
Bio: It is a blade that straps onto the user's arm. It consists of a big blade, with trigger underneath, to reveal
concealed blades, spikes, and saws. Created in the forges of Xia, the Blade of Night is a powerful weapon.
Designed for melee combat, it has triggers and such, allowing for spikes and saws to be revealed, like the stars
under a night sky appearing at night. Another symbol of this is the lightstone, which can be used as a light source
at dark times. It is strapped to the arm of the user, and an axle allows in to stay on. Due to all the blades it has
concealed, it is sometimes called "Blades of the Night."
46
Dual Swords
Creator: Toa Novu
Bio: The dual swords can be used as one or two weapons. It
can either be used in the way shown above, as a hilt with
two blades, or the hilt can be split in half by disconnecting
it, giving the user two identical swords. It is built of sturdy
but light materials, making it easy to wield yet still can still
cause heavy damage if used in the correct way. Another
advantage of this weapon is that the long blades can be used
both offensive and defensively, as both a weapon and as a
shield against blows from pretty much any angle.
Thunder Stave
Creator: Raia Svit-kona
Bio: The Thunder Stave is equipped with electrical
equipment specifically designed to temporarily disable
mechanical targets using a power surge. It is also useful as a
defensive melee weapon. Originally commissioned by the
Shadowed One for use in the war against the Brotherhood of Makuta, the stave is especially effective against
Exo-Toa. (Being entirely mechanical, they are rendered useless.) The name 'Thunder Stave' was coined by its
Xian
makers, not
because of
its electrical
power, but
because of
an incident
that
occurred
during the
test phase of
its creation.
A prototype
was
accidentally
lodged in
the
machinery
of one of the
many Xian factories, causing an explosion. Though no one was hurt, a boom to rival the greatest clap of thunder
echoed over the district.
47
OptiKal Rifle
Creator: ~Ballom~
Bio: Elemental powers. They are the
base of any Toa's arsenal, and their most
powerful attack. The OptiKal Rifle relies
upon this. Made using an ancient design
created millennia ago, the OptiKal Rifle
is the most modern weapon known to
harness what is colloquially known as
"Kal energy". Essentially, the OptiKal
Rifle fires large bolts of electricty. Upon
hitting a Toa, the intense shocks will
temporarily disrupt the Toa energy of
the target. While the effect only lasts a
short minute, that is usually enough for
the attacker to finish off their foe.
However, the OptiKal Rifle has a few key weaknesses. Notoriously unreliable and prone to overheating, the gun
also only has enough ammo for around ten shots. After this limit is exceeded, the large power pack at the rear
must the replaced, a slow process during which the stunned foe can easily recover. The OptiKal Rifle is sold
mostly to the Dark Hunters, who use the weapon against any Toa they may encounter. Many early versions
utilizing this technology were used during the Dark Hunter/Matoran War, though the current design was
created at the start of the Brotherhood of
Makuta/Dark Hunter War.
Exosep - defense unit
Creator: System of a Chris
Bio: The EXOSEP was created by a Xian
inventor who intended to build a full body
suit that would help him with
manufacturing weapons more efficiently,
however, once his deadline (potentially
bad pun) came around, all he had to show
his employer was a mechanical sleeve,
which made him realize it's full
destructive, if not lethal potential. He
quickly replaced the gauntlet-mounted
ARC-welding system with a magnetic
repulsion cannon and fitted the shoulder
and the inner workings throughout the
arm with a contained concussion beam that could be fired or held in the arm causing a devastating punch.
48
Elemental Catapult
Creator: ~~Zarkan~~
Bio: The Xians recently have been designing a
new weapon that will easily siege fortresses and
adapt to all sorts of combat situations. The
Elemental Catapult uses a basic Xian design –
four mechanical legs for propulsion and a
single large catapult – and adds the ability to
generate balls of energy drawn out from
elemental Kanoka Disks. The energy collects in
the catapult’s bucket, and then can be chucked
into enemy forces or fortresses. This power has
the potential to be extremely varied – use a
Kanoka of fire, and the ball will burn up walls
upon contact. Use a Kanoka of stone, and it
will shatter stone barricades into dust.
The strategic possibilities are nearly endless. So
far however, the catapult is still in the
prototype stage, due to a flaw in the design: if the ball of energy is not released within seconds of creation, it will
unleash itself on the catapult itself. The Xians are working to rectify this problem, and if they succeed, the
Elemental Catapult may wreak havoc on the Bionicle universe along with other Xian siege weapons.
Dimensions – 8 bios long, 6.5 bios wide, 8.5 bios high
Weight – 32000 pounds.
Armor – 0.05 bios of metallic protodermis armor.
Strengths – Very versatile, fairly light, nearly unlimited battle possibilities.
Weaknesses – Armor is fairly weak, range is limited, and the aforementioned design flaw must be worked out
before full production can begin.
Nui Hand-Blaster
Creator: -VeqBio: Original design was made by an Onu-Matoran, but the Vortixx improved the design and mass-produced it.
Through there were millions in the past, the Order of Mata Nui attempted to destroy them, as they were buyed
and used by the Dark Hunters. In the present there are 60 in Odina, 40 on Daxia, and over 50 spread around the
world. The Vortixx later tried to get them back, as they represented a large profit, but they never had them back.
The blaster is activated by touch. In its interior, it has many touch sensors, that can control the claws at the end
of the weapon. It also has a trigger, that can activate the blaster itself. The blaster shoots a special chemical
component.
49
The only effect known is armour
melting, which can vary between simply
rusting and dissolving. It was known
that the chemical could pierce almost
any armour, but in recent years it is
known that the armour that any being
wears had become more powerfull,
being able to resist more at the chemical.
At the other end, it has a Protodermis
blade that can be used as a secondary
weapon. Some Matoran Villages made
these weapons illegal.
Rahi Prism
Creator: Matoran Artist
Bio: Those who have heard of the Dark
Hunters may know that Hunters
generally work alone, or in pairs. With
the creation of the Rahi Prism, this is no
longer the case.
The Rahi Prism was commissioned by the Shadowed
One to equip Dark Hunter's who were picky about their
weapons. Originally, the Vortixx assigned to design it,
all but gave up, the Shadowed One's request of a
weapon that any being could use, being nearly
impossible. Until one day, they made a breakthrough
while studying different kinds of energy and discovering
that each being gives off a unique energy! From there, it
was a short step to designing a delicate and precise
mechanism that would take the unique properties of the
being's energy and turn it into a rahi-like creature.
The Rahi Prism is a small, protodermis, pyramid with
three opening "flaps" on the front face that open when a
user channels large amounts of his/her energy into the
Prism. Before opening, the delicate inner workings of
the Prism take the unique characteristics of the being's
energy and turn it into an elemental rahi-like creature
that would fit the user's needs, and obey his/her
commands (in most cases). Finally, when the "flaps" are
opened, the creature is released, and after a designated
50
amount of time (determined by the amount of energy the user puts in) or after serving it's intended purpose, it
disentegrates. For example, a very hard-headed Dark Hunter with control over stone, will most likely release a
strong, Stone Bull-like creature.
However, this weapon is not without it's drawbacks. The biggest being that it takes a considerable amount of
energy for it to be useful. Also, the creature released can easily be defeated if the user is not competent enough to
give orders. Finally, because the resulting creature is always elemental, it is easily defeated by an opposite element
(such as a Fire creature against a Water one)
Despite its drawbacks, the Rahi Prism is a formidable weapon and very useful in most cases.
Feather Sword
Creator: Planetperson
Bio: The feather sword at its
default state is a weapon of light
weight, easily handled.
However, when the feather
sword strikes a solid object – an opponent’s armor or weapon, for example – it welds itself to the object in
contact and then abruptly increases its own weight hundreds of times, weighing down whatever object to which
it has grafted itself with overwhelming strength, pulling an enemy down along with his armor, if it must. The
sword is infused with the substance of weight increase Kanoka disks to make it function.
This weapon is particularly effective for immobilizing foes while not actually harming them, if somewhat
humiliating them. Although the feather sword’s trademark form is that of a bladed weapon (see picture), it is not
necessary that it be shaped so. The feather sword’s name is in fact meant to be deceiving toward those who only
know of the its existence through its name, since the sword’s main buyers often ask that it be disguised as a
different tool. Originally commissioned by wealthy Matoran traders as a means of defense against attackers, this
weapon mostly comes in more unassuming shapes – a staff, a Kanoka launcher, a hammer – so that an assailant
suspects not a feather sword, but a conventional weapon, ready to move in for melee combat and be caught
unawares.
XTS:AT#01 [Automatic Hoverturret]
Creator: dinoman82
Bio: This weapon was specially created in a top secret facility on Xia. Build for the Brotherhood of Makuta the
Xia designer designed it with special modifications:
- With sophisticated technology it could use mask powers, so it now uses an Arthron for Sonar ability, a Huna
for
cloaking ability and a Hau for limited Shielding ability.
- It can be given specific order for who to attack and who not to attack.
- It can hover, so it is a hovering automatic turret.
- It can launch energy net to capture unauthorized persons, and it can shoot energy missiles that hurt on impact,
51
it will continue shooting it missiles until the target has fallen unconscious, that it will be put in a energy web
until a Brotherhood member comes to get their new prisoner.
After the designer constructed the turret he was very pleased with it. He showed it to the Brotherhood of Makuta
who bought it immediately. Because after the Toa Hagah stole the Avhokii their was no sufficient guard left to
guard their
secrets.
Makuta Teridax
was very pleased
with the new
automatic turret,
he gave it orders
only to let
Brotherhood of
Makuta members
into their treasure
vaults. Only
Gorast didn’t like
the turret for
reasons unknown.
Now it is one of
the efficient
Automatic
Defence Turret on
the island. The
Makuta were so
pleased with the
Turret that they
asked for more.
But the designer
didn’t knew how
to get the mask
using ability up
again, he said he
had ill luck designing the weapon. Feared because the Dark Hunters or others could get the blue print the
Brotherhood stole them and stored them in Destral. The designer and constructor were never seen again.
The turret has even attacked lieutenant and servants of the Brotherhood of Makuta who dared to come near the
treasure vaults. Although Teridax did gave the turret another instruction, not to attack persons with a
Brotherhood tablet of transit.
The machine is currently still serving the Brotherhood, but it weakness they did not solve, like the Hau users, it
doesn’t protect from unseen attacks, and the hovering apparatus is also weak to water and dirt.

Proto Inverter
Creator: Lhikan Park
Bio: what the inverter does is
reverse the power of any living
thing within a 3 bio radius,
though if more power is fed to
it it can go wider. the proto
inverter is thrown like a kanoka,
and can be made to fit
comfortably into a kanoka
launcher by pushing in its
blades, which will pop back out
when launched.
When it decreases in enough
velocity, it will rotate its
magnetic blades simultaneously
keeping it aloft and reversing
the protodermic consistency of
the beigs around it. rock toa use
air, lava to ice, iron to earth etc.
the only thing it will not work
on is robots, as the waves it
produces are made to be
compined with thought pulses.
after the proto inverter has
discharged its energy
(approximately 1 hour),
everything will return to
normal, and it will drop to the
ground. makuta are shown to have experienced adverse health effects.

Sonic Ball Launcher
Creator: The OoMN Chronicler
Diagram fullsize
Bio: The Sonic Ball Launcher was
designed as a knock-back weapon to
break up large attack groups. One
launches the ball, and the launcher
removes the saftey pin. Once it collides
with something, the hammer jostles and
slams into a Sonic Disk, which emits a
sonic shockwave which is directed
through the mesh on the sides. The
shockwave forces beings in the immediate area away.
Energy Siphon Globe
Creator: Bfahome
Bio: An Energy Siphon Globe is an object somewhat similar to the Nui Stone, although
it functions more like the Rahkshi Vorahk's staff. When use on a target, it slowly drains
the target's energy until they feel weak or dizzy (this process usually happens over the
course of about an hour or so, not instantly). Energy Siphon Globes are not easily
produced, and therefore can not be used frequently. Each globe can only work to its full
potential once, so recycling them is difficult. The maximum amount of energy one can
hold is approximately 2/3 that of a normal Toa.
The Mahiki Blade
Creator: .:Zumoro Nuva:.
Bio: "The Mahiki Blade is one of the finest versatile weapons in the last millennia. It's well balanced for excellent
swordsmanship, and has 3 interesting features.
1. Dual Mode
Pressing the center of the light/dark emblem on the handle unlocks the blade, splitting into two thinner blades
for double the threat! The groove in the center not only lightens the whole sword, but allows the dual mode
swords to be double edged. While in dual mode the user has access to the two power crystals for the other two
modes.
2. Beam Mode
54
Pressing the dark half of the emblem splits the blade itself in half, revealing two small lasers cannons.
Pressing/holding the dark emblem again fires them; the two beams converge and fire straight away, for a short
burst or a sustained beam of up to half a kio. The beam itself has enough punch to blast locks or knock out most
enemies, ideal for sniping and close range. The power crystal, however, only has enough for 10-15 blasts or a 30
second beam.
3. Spin Mode
Pressing the light half of the emblem splits the blade in half again, this time opening up into a double-long blade
along the cross-bar. Pressing the light emblem again activates the motor, spinning the blade at high speed to
deflect most projectiles and other attacks. Pressing the center of the emblem turns the blades before spinning,
making it usable as a propeller for lift off and briefly sustained flight. The power crystal for the motor can last it
for up to 25 hours non-stop."
55
Force Sphere Launcher
Creator: Atako
Bio: The Force Sphere Launcher was made to harness the destructive power of the Metru Nui chute system's
force spheres in a small scale implosion . This is a good weapon against objects and structures, as well as against
foes of all shapes and sizes. Its production was requested by the Brotherhood of Makuta during the Dark
Hunter/Brotherhood of Makuta War.
The making of
the force sphere
itself takes place
in the hollow,
main cavity of
the launcher. The
cavity has a
strong
electromagnetic
field within it.
The field
contains
magnetized
Protodermis, similar to the Metru Nui chutes. To form the sphere, the user of the launcher triggers a disruption
in the electromagnetic field, thus causing the field to fold into itself. Once the trigger is released, the miniature
force sphere leaves the barrel and exits around the end cap to engulf its target.
Once the target is struck by the small sphere, the sphere surrounds it, attracting more and more matter as it
grows to a size of a few feet in diameter. In a second or two, the sphere implodes. The strong implosion
sufficiently destroys most, if not all, of its contents and little of the surrounding environment.
Besides its intended attack method, the user of the launcher may also choose to use it as a melee weapon. The
launcher is also equipped with a comfort hand grip and a red laser sight powered by a small red light stone in the
upper housing.
The launcher also has some flaws. Unless used for melee attacks, the user wants to be far away from the actual
target to avoid getting forced into the sphere, or getting injured during the implosion. Also, the electromagnets
field is powered by electrified lightstones stored in its base. Once the lightstones loose their charge, the launcher
is as good a weapon as a large medal stick.
Particle Disintegrator
Creator: Lekono the Wizard
Bio: This is a hand held, short ranged weapon that will disintegrate most non-organic matter, such as armor.
56
The disintegration chemicals are produced and readied in the chamber above the stock. Then the chemicals are
transferred the the main chamber (above the trigger) by means of a compressed air mechanism located inside
the stock. When the trigger is pulled two chemicals that when mixed make a small explosion are released into the
main chamber. This explosion then fires the disintegration chemicals out through the barrel. After the chemicals
are ejected, the lights on the stock and main chamber will turn red until the weapon is ready to fire again.
Berserker Air Vault Claw
Creator: Thormen
Bio: Do you love close combat, but feel it's gone nowadays?
Are you a mean brute, but always behind in battle?
Do your allies laugh at you while they cowardly use their long-ranged fast-hitting guns to reap the battlefield?
Do you just hate how the honor in battle has disappeared?
XIA HAS THE SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEMS!
We present the new BAVC-101,000, the brutal Berserker Air-Vault Claw. Leap into battle with renewed courage
and your best weapon ever: a murderous claw that shoots forward with one press of the button. The turning
wheels allow for TOTAL FREEDOM OF AIMING and premium quality accuracy is established by means of heat
and Toa energy sensors, 3D environment virtualisation and much, much more.
YOUR ENEMIES WILL KNOW NO FEAR, THEY'LL BE DEAD BEFORE THEY CAN!
57
But that's not all! By means of its precise shape and basic Vacuum powers, the claw is able to create an airtight
vault when it grips! Increase and decrease the pressure inside this vault using the controllable ventilation shafts
in the fingers, and release a powerful pressure wave that can divert* any physical projectile! No more defending
and fleeing from those guns, your BAVC-101,000 makes them useless!
HAD THE HAND OF ARTAKHA STILL EXISTED, YOU COULD’VE WON AN ARM-WRESTLING
MATCH FROM HIM!
* Minimum angle is not defined as the angle depends entirely on the pressure. Additional damage done by the
pressure is not predictable and therefore the full responsibility of the user.
Force Shield
Creator: SPIRIT
Click this link for an informative mini-movie about how this weapon works.
Bio: What do you call a staff with retractable spokes on the end, a portable force field
generator, and the ability to fire lasers? Why, a Force Shield, of course. When in
shield mode (with the spokes out), the Force Shield can block virtually any attack.
Once having blocked an attack, it can store the kinetic energy from it. Later, in staff
mode (with the spokes retracted), it can convert the stored energy into a laser burst.
ARK-EBW (All-Around Kanoka and Element-Boosting Weaponry)
Creator: Ary
Bio: Not long after Xia was declared a weapon-making facility, the Vortixx had plenty of ideas but not enough
customers. One of these was the ARK-EBW (All Around Kanoka and Element-Boosting Weaponry). They first
started with a simple teardrop-shaped design that boosted elemental power, and then they improvised, adding
various features to it.
First they added a system where a crafter could customize the connection system and allow the weapon to be
attached to virtually any type placement.
Then they added extendable beams on the side of the weapon as well as a laser-type attack from the center of the
weapon. This allows the weapon to defend the user, yet still maintain an offensive force.
Afterwards, they added a pair of retractable blades to the front of the weapon, giving it melee power.
Then, they revamped the entire layout and added a Kanoka chamber, where the user may combine his or her
elemental energy with the Kanoka’s energy.
Finally, the Vortixx added an energy-to-electricity converter to the blades, which apparently conduct electricity
well. The limitation is that the blades have to be in contact with the target, or be in contact with an
58
electricity-conducting material in contact with the target.
After the weapon was perfected, the Vortixx had a good weapon, yet no one to share it with. Therefore it became
widespread in Xia, yet rare in other places. They did have a few customers buy the weapon in particular, but they
usually had to include free copies of it with various purchases.
In modern day, the weapon has become very rare, even in Xia. This is because there are many other alternatives
such as the Zamor launcher and the Nynrah Ghostblaster. However, there are a few populations that use it
frequently, though rare.
---------------------------------------
59
The Ballistic Shot mode fires a concentrated shot that adapts depending on the user’s elemental preference and
amount of Kanoka energy added. The Shield mode has a sweeping laser that changes color depending on the
user’s preferences. The Blade mode has an electric pulse option that is useful for adding an extra kick to a
powerful slash.
Sound Scythe
Creator: C:/hsu/run
Bio: It is a mystery as to who was
crazy enough to invent this, but
the Sound Scythe is capable of
amplifying sound beyond the
threshold of pain, shattering solids
such as glass and rock, halting
enemies temporarily in their
tracks, and causing hearing
problems within its vicinity.
However the power also affects the
hearing of the user as well, so not
many desired its power to save
their hearing, unless they are deaf
or design some sort of hearing
protection of their own. Whenever
its power is not in use in battle, the
scythe has a mid-range melee
swing that can knock enemies off
their feet, but the user maybe
susceptible to close-ranged
combat.
It is incapable of creating its own
sound, but rather, uses the sound
around it.
Scorch-blaster
Creator: Toa Tanma
Bio: Created by Xia's workers, the Scorch-blaster is capable of melting protosteel at it's peak
power however, if it does start to melt protosteel, it will explode. Only 3 are ever know to
have existed and 2 have blown up. It is kept in a safe, waiting for it's owner to come and
retrive it.The Scorch-blaster acts as a flame thrower and a crossbow that fires flaming arrows.

Protodermis Generation Blaster
Creator: Toa Pyro Golden
Full-sized diagram.
Bio: When someone drops ONLY LIQUID
protodermis into the collection chamber, you
must use the selection screen to choose which
conversion you need. The energy generatorwhich can also upgrade the protodermis
drop-off- then converts the protodermis into the
selected form of attack. The radar then targets the opponent and the two barrels then shoot the formed blast.
Different styles of energy forms include physical and in-the-mind. Also, the powers such as those of Kanoka
Disks can be chosen.
The entire blaster is made of some of the hardest forms of solid protodermis- though not protosteel. The
generator was made from blast-resistant solid protodermis, and the power is supplied by a mobile energy sourcecurrently unkown.
In battle, the only problem is the finding of the right kind of protodermis at a crucial moment. Otherwise,
mobility and weight are not a problem.
(Xian) Energy Flail
Creator: Adventurer
Bio: The Xian Energy
Flail (more commonly
known as the XEF) is
weapon designed by the
Vortixx as a peace
keeping device to be used
by law enforcing groups.
When used, the spikes of
the XEF dig into the
victim slightly creating a
link of energy transfer.
When activated, the XEF
can drain energy from the
victim and absorb it, or
force more energy into
them in the form of an
energetic shock. The flail
can only drain and store small amounts of energy at a time, so it could drain a bit of a Toa's elemental energy, or
61
make a Matoran tired. After absorbing enough energy, the XEF can be used more offensively. For example, a
Toa who has XEF energy forced into them, will feel a small, but very painful electric shock.
This however will not cause much physical damage. The flail can release energy in small bursts if it has absorbed
too much and has no target to release it into, but this is a very ineffective way of damaging anything and would
hardly be felt by anyone the burst of energy might hit. In the unlikely circumstances that the XEF absorbs too
much energy, there is an emergency release function which will move the energy into nearby beings. If no beings
are present other than the user, all of the energy will be transferred into them, which usually results in death.
The XEF has two main modes: flail and mace. The mace is the default mode and is used for fast paced melee
combat. The flail mode is used for medium distance combat and can be used as a cross between a whip and a
flail. A metallic cord will extend between the head and handle which allows the head to be thrown up to 100
metres away.
These flails are in a medium price ranged and are usually bought by in large quantities by the rulers of islands to
be given to law enforcement squads. However, since the start of the Brotherhood of Makuta/Dark Hunter war,
more islands have been demanding more lethal weapons and the XEF has only been used for internal struggles
and is less commonly used than before.
(Xian) Rocket Launcher
Creator: Shadow-Nui
Bio:
History
One of Xia’s proudest creations,
The Xian Rocket Launcher is a
weapon especially made for
attacks on enemy fortresses.
The Rocket Launcher is made
from Xia’s finest and hardest
metals, and can take number
amounts of blows without being
destroyed.Today, many of these weapons are being produced and sold. Recently, a large warrior named Brutaka
and a rookie Toa Of Sonics ordered a handful of these weapons, paying the Xians a large reward.
Functions and Powers
The Rocket Launcher produces, a large rocket made of crystallized protodermis. Then the Launcher charges and
fills the rocket with raw energy, making it glow bright orange. It takes about a few seconds for the rocket to
charge. While charging, the Energy Indicator glows, indicating that energy IS being provided to the rocket.
After the rocket is done charging, the user can turn on also the laser sight for aiming help, or just immediately
fire the rocket.

On impact, the rocket makes a medium sized explosion, making fatal damage to its target. At the same time the
explosion take places, the rocket releases a wave made of raw energy along with some bolts of electricity, capable
of stunning living targets within the wave zone, that being a 20ft radius.
After five shots, the Charger Indicator turns red, meaning it the battery of the Rocket Launcher is recharging.
The Rocket Launcher won’t fire until its battery is completely recharged, or until the indicator turns green.

Enhanced Blaster-Blade of Zatth
Creator: Tren Krom
Image with labels.
Bio: Two Kanohi, a Zatth and a Mask of Possibilities, were both smelted down into Kanoka. The two sets of
material harvested from those Kanoka were used in specifically designed positions and incorporated into a
blade-like projectile weapon that had several gears installed in extremely precise positions just for this purpose.
The goal was finally reached: a weapon that could summon any creature the user wished with 97.5% accuracy.
The Blaster is fairly new, and unknown side-effects, possible weapon failure, how to send the summoned
creature back, and how to fix the other 2.5% are still being tested. But aside from the aforementioned Unknown
Unknowns, this Blaster-Blade has been known to work efficiently, and can help in battle or in a tight spot. Zatth
users have mentioned the benefits of this staff, stating that this blade is a step-up for their random summonings,
for the most part. Makuta have also noted the efficiency of this staff, being able to summon Rahkshi and Visorak
at will.
This blade is powered by an internal source of
electrical energy, so if your not on Xia and there
aren't any Toa of Lightning nearby, you'll probably
want to summon a lightning bug to charge it.
The Blaster-Blade of Zatth looks sort of like a Bolt
Launcher only with a Crossbow-type middle. It
has an activation button and a telescopic
firing-scope, just recently updated so that it's
crafted from a Kanoka Sanok. It also features a handle that Toa can use to channel their elemental powers into
the blade. Additionally, it can be shoulder-mounted.
A recent modification in the blaster's design has enhanced the weapon capabilities with a Dart-Launcher against
Rahi if they become a problem after summoning, or to fire as a projectile while the weapon is not being used to
summon creatures. The darts themselves are on almost the same power level as Cordak Missiles (though not
nearly as efficient), but they are additionally shaped to act as mini-drills.
63
Motara Cannon
Creator: Aqua Iruini
Bio: The Motara Cannon is a light but sturdy weapon
developed on Xia not long before the Great Disruption.
It is carved from an alloy consisting of melted down
level 3 and lower Kanoka and a strong metallic
Protodermis. Although any powers the Kanoka had are
lost in the process, the Motara Cannon is able to change
it's colours (only where it is shown as yellow and white
in this model) to suit the user. Whilst not held, these
parts become a dullish silver. It can be used as both a
projectile launcher for Acid Spheres and a melee weapon due to it's mallet-like shape.
The weapon started out as two separate projects. The first study found that the docile newt Rahi called the
Motara - not much bigger than a Protodite and found only in Po-Metru's Protodermis mines - was capable of
producing a strong membrane that could of dispell any level electric wave. They unfortunetly hit a dead end as
they couldn't find an effective use for it. The second project was an order a Toa of Electricity made after losing
her Toa Tool. She requested a weapon capable of firing acid (Which the Vortixx processed from Xia's unique
grass) that could also be used in melee combat. The Xians found that the acid could corrode away most armour
on contact - it was said to be able to burn through even Protosteel with enough hits - but could dissipate if hit by
any electromagnetic waves; of which there were many being transmitted throughout Xia.
After hearing of each other's research, the Vortixx combined projects and steadily developed the Motara Cannon
by creating a small habitat within the weapon where the Motara would live. From within, they
would produce their membrane to coat the
acid and keep it together in a tight sphere.
It would then be propelled out of a small
door on the barrel via a magnetic charge
created by the trigger. This became a new
projectile known as the Acid Sphere, able to push a Matoran
several feet with one hit before releasing it contents onto the
target.
While at first it was only manufactured when specially
ordered, the Motara Cannon has begun to be mass produced
after an order made by a particularly secretive Dark Hunter.
Production is slow, however, as it takes time to breed enough
Motara to meet the request.

MOC stands for "My Own Creation", meaning built by a fan out of
LEGO/Bionicle pieces.
Xian Trident
Creator: Thorink-Toa of Plasma
Bio: This Trident can shoot raw energy from the blades. The trident
doesn't have that much power but it is light an effective and is
usually used as a melee weapon.
The Titan's Thorn
Creator: Kongu~Tohunga
Bio: The Titan's Thorn has two uses: One, it's immense blades.
Those who can not unlock it's seconds feature commonly use this.
Two, in the hands of a Toa or Skakdi or Iron, it can unleash waves
of Iron, or, create a solid bubble of Iron, used to trap foes.
65
Protoshock Launcher
Creator: Konrad
Bio: The Protoshock Blaster
was created by a team of
highly skilled Vortixx at the
request of The Shadowed
One. It is capable of firing
bolts of energy that can melt
through solid metal and even
singe Protosteel, hence the
name. It uses a large amout of
energy and can only be used
three times before it must
recharge. It folds up to
contain energy and then
opens to fire.
Anti-Elemental Battleaxe
Creator: Otherworldly Toa
Bio: A battleaxe made from the finest materials. The blades are crafted from
high-grade metallic protodermis and are finely-balanced. The weapon has the unique
ability to absorb an elemental attack of any type upon activation and disperse the
elemental attack, rendering any elemental attack useless.
Xian Underarm Assault Blade
Creator: Philoo
Bio: An assault blade with an energy beam that heats the end of the blade so it pierces
armor better and easier. (The arm on it in the pic is just how it fits on the arm.) The
Xian who built it accidently fused the parts that had been made to telescope back and
forth from the will of the user. But he left it that way so it would be better for slashing
upwards.

Spinning Staff of Electricity (SSoE)
Creator: Everclear
Bio: The SSoE can spin fast enough to become a sheild,
and it can shoot Electric bolts from it while spinning.
Or it can be used as a Dagger which when hits an enemy
sends Electricity through him.
The Deathbringer
Creator: Cap'n Kopaka
Diagram photo of a character holding it.
Bio: Made of a durable protodermic ore, this tool is
awful and full of potential power. It is composed of two
spinning blades that make a low frequency hum when
spun, and when spun fast enough can slice through
rock, armor, and even dent or damage protosteel!
It is created so that the wielder can channel his own
willpower into the shaft it is held by, causing it to spin
faster and faster. It is usually used as a shield or way to
cut through obstacles, seeing as it is much too clumsy
and dangerous to be wielded as a melee weapon
(although a few
Makuta have been
known to do so).
It easily stands twice
as tall as an average
Matoran, and is
extremely heavy.
Most beings who use
it also equip a Pakari
if available.
67
Its only drawbacks are its size, weight, and clumsiness,
there have been many reported incidents of fingers and
hands being sliced off by it.
The original prototype had capabilities to support an
attached Kanoka or Zamor launcher, but that aspect was
scrapped when the creators realized that made it far too
difficult to handle.
The Deathbringer is used most often by Makuta due to their destructive potential. There have not been many
Deathbringers in existence due to both cost and exoticness, but they are custom-made for worthy (paying)
owners.
Sky Control
Creator: Kynreth-Darklight Knight
Bio: When Sky Control was first thought of, it wasn't
meant to be a security robot, but a war machine. The
Vortixx intended to sell it to the warring factions of the
Metru Nui civil war, to earn money. But, before the
machine could be mass produced, the war ended. So, the
prototypes gathered dust over the millenia, until one
Vortixx decided that War was not the only business avenue
they had. Making and selling security devices could also
support them financially. The prototypes were
re-configured to contain Non-Lethal pacifying weapons
instead of the killing devices it once had. The result, was
Sky Control. A fast, deadly and efficient law-enforcing
device.
It carries a Concussion Blaster, activated when the four
jaws are opened. It fires a wave of energy that can render large groups of Matoran unconscious, as a result, it's
used mainly for containing riots. Although powerful, it takes a long time to charge up, leaving the Machine
vulnerable to attacks.
Along with the blaster, it carries two Electric stun staves, attached to it's 2 stubby arms. It can cause
unconsiousness to anyone, for the better part of 2 days.
To catch faster convicts, it can fold up into a plane like form, sacrificing the Blaster, but retaining the Staves, for
speed. Although the orange 'eye' provides a good view, it stands out in the black, grey and silver of the robot,
thus making it a easy hit.
It's armor protects it from small arms, like knives, arrows, but not disks, high speed projectiles, or energy bursts.
68
The armor is even thinner around the 'eye', making it the prime target.
It is currently in service in unstable islands, which are prone to riots or small-scale wars. But only a few are
distributed to each island, because of its steep price.
STIV Iron Incinerating Launcher
Creator: The Death of Sanity
Bio: The STIV Iron Incinerating Launcher
consists of two parts - the ammunition pack,
and the actual gun itself. The backpacks
superheats blocks of iron to a liquid state, then
transfers them into a tube, which connects to
the gun. The gun reheats the iron, and shoots
it in its white-hot liquid state out of the barrel.
The liquid will cool and solidify on contact
with most anything, except for Protosteel. The
inside of the backpack is protected from the
superheated liquid by a force field membrane
that stretches across a medium layer of metal.
The tube and the interior of the gun also have
this protection. the backpack also sports a
small window, so that the remaining level of
liquid can be seen. This is not covered by metal, only by the force field. A large circle-shaped object is on the
backpack to store extra lengths of tubing, in the
case of the user's arms are too long for the
standard length. (Note - This feature is not
actually on the MOC. I just designed it to look
like that.) A small door is at the top of the
backpack so that more iron can be put into it.
The gun consists of the reheater, which is most
of the body.
During its travel in the tube, most of the liquid
will cool down enough to not be able to be shot
out through the barrel; it must be reheated to
maximum temperature for liquification. As it is
sprayed out of the barrel, two prong-shaped
instruments are on the sides of the gun - the Air Exhuast Chambers. When the gun is fired, air will be released as
a byproduct, and must get out of the gun before the next shot, else it would explode.
There is also a quite accurate sight, a shoulder mount, barrel, and the tube connector on the gun, which are all
self-explanitory.

H.A.N.D. Heavy Assault
Nui-Jaga Destroyer
Creator: Arenethas
Bio: This Xian weapon was designed as
a cross between a Nui-Jaga and a
machine, designed to stop at nothing
and destroy everything in it's path. It
was built for heavy combat and
equipped with a buzz saw, two cordaks,
and protodermic armour.
Unfortunately it had a short circuit,
causing what was left of the rahi inside
to go mad. It broke out of the factory
from which it was built, and made
straight for the ocean, destroying
everything in it's way, (Which
fortunately wasn't much, a few small
buildings) including many Xians. It
plunged into the ocean, never to be
seen again. Plans for mass production of this war machine were cut short.
Please note that this machine couldn't necessarily destroy everything in it's path, it was not designed as a WMD.
Indeed, it had quite a few flaws that could make it easy to defeat. Only the Xian designers know this.
(Xian) Shuriken
Creator: Avatar
Bio: The Xian Shuriken is a primitive weapon designed on the island
of Xia millenia ago.A large bladed weapon, thought to be the
unofficial trademark of Xian weaponry, it can deal deadly damage if
used by trained warriors.Vortixx in particular are naturally skilled in
the art.Made of metallic protodermis with a crafted skull shape in
the centre, the Xian Shuriken can be somewhat used as a sheild if
spun fast enough and is regarded as one of the oldest Xian crafted
weapons.
With the advancement in technology and the demand for more
sophisticated weapons, the Vortixx have modified new shurikens to produce a blue like energy at the tips when
thrown, resulting in a spinning wheel of energy.Some Vortixx were displeased at the modification but when
payments started coming in, their opinions quickley changed.The Xian Shuriken remains one of the Vortixx's
personal favorite weapons.

for long range shots but was
modified to send an electric pulse
on touch. The model actually fires!
Spear of Hope
Creator: Spantrax
Bio: Designed by a skilled Xian,
this Spear is able to drain part of
the hope of an enemy by touching
him. When it's used, two red small
stones start to glow on its middle.
Its currently unknown where the
Spear of Hope is.
Shadow Claw of Makuta Miserix
Creator: Toa Electro
Bio: This Protosteel Shadow Claw of
Makuta Miserix was fashioned by Xia's top
weapon forger. It was originally going to be
the top of a staff with a spinner on the side,
but the maker "accidentally" slipped his arm
into it and fused it together making a "fits
like a glove weapon" and since Xia needed
the money, they cut off the makers arm with
the weapon and sold it to the BOM. It then
went to the leader of that time, Makuta
Miserix.

(Xian) Blade of Unconsciousness
Creator: ewpw
Bio: A Xian blade that when touched, causes the helpless
victom to faint.
M.U.D. Guarding Cannon
Creator: Heir of the Crudelious
Bio: The M.U.D (Mindless Unmoving Disarming)
Guarding Cannon is essentially a Launcher that fires acid
mud. It's intended as a guard, reacting to sound and firing
the mud at targets. The mud partially dissolves the
armour of the target and is often used to bring down
the walls of besieged cities. Upon using its acid to
dissolve metal, the mud begins to dry. It's easy to
pentrate that crust, though. It was designed by a poor
Xian inventor as a defensive weapon for the
Brotherhood's fortresses.
Matoran War Turret
Creator: Strazz of Metru Nui
[IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE]
Bio: The Matoran War Turret was obtained by Ta-Matoran during the Matoran Cival War. The Matoran
figured out its effect after bartering with a Vortixx inventor who just came out with it to suit the Ta Matoran
likes and dislikes. The weapon was used for about 10 years but was abandoned after a malfunction occurred and
it shot random shots every time it was loaded.
The Turret is powerful and can take down a normal Matoran, and wound a Toa (it was mainly used for Matoran
combat and the Matoran found it more affective than other long range cannons/turrets. There were several of
the machines but due to design flaw, 10 years later they all malfunctioned. Before the glitch one huge
disadvantage was that they could only be turned in a 180 degree angle by being moved manually. They had a 10
shot maximum before reload, but when they time came to reload, it was fairly difficult and took an average of
10-15 minutes to reload.

(Xian) Power Axe
Creator: Danwojo913
Bio: Compact enough to be held in one hand, yet still powerful; as
sharp as regular protodermis can get without being protosteel. Can
fire a small disintegration laser out of the tip.
Claw of the Broken
Creator: Orahklas
Bio: This weapon is used in along side kanoka
disks, or at least segments of kanoka disks.
The claw operates by draining the energy of a
kanoka placed into its central battery and
then either channelling or storing the energy.
When the energy is channelled through the
claw, it is separated between the three talons,
which give a directional flow to the energy,
with this directional flow the energy can be
shaped between the talons into a sphere, this
sphere of kanoka energy can then blasted
from the claw by a palm located repulsor.
When the energy comes in contact with a
solid, its stability is broken and the contained energy is released. The energy released is determined by what
kanoka disk was used; for example if a disk with power 6 (shrinking) was used then those hit by the blast of
energy will shrink, the severity of the effect depends on the distance the subject is from the central blast point.
The claw fits over the user’s hand and lower arm and will when first put on will drain a minute amount of the
wearer’s power so that it can then drain the kanoka’s power. The Claw now often comes with a lazer sight as
standard for improved aiming.
73
X-MTGT: (Xian) Multi-Tactical Gun Turret
Creator: Hayden J
Bio: The X-MTGT was created by one of the many Xian engineers on Xia. Though this Xian attempted to keep
this weapon a secret from outside factions, The Shadowed One learned of its existence, and sent two Dark
Hunters to steal the prototype, but not before if was mass produced and sold to many factions.
The X-MTGT has several features that make it one of the most widely bought Xian weapon in the Dome
Universe. These features include:
* The X-MTGT was a specialized base that may latch on to the ground to provide an extra measure of stability.
* The X-MTGT is able to be quickly and efficiently moved throughout the battle field using a fan-based base
with may allow the weapon to hover over the battle field.
* The X-MTGT is ablt to detach from its base and become a flight operating system that can be manually
controlled to provide help on the battle field, but it may only stay aloft for five minutes
* This weapon has a "last resort" choice when in its flight mode, where the weapon will ram head on into an
enemy with its frontal blade, but results in the death of the user, while giving heavy damage to the ememy.
* The ammo container on the side of the weapon holds a powerful energy that is ran through tubing into the
inards of the weapon, where the energy is consentrated into a spherical shape. When this sphere is released
through the barrel of the X-MTGT, it becomes unstable, resulting in an explosive blast.
* The two red tubes on the top of this weapon suck in hydrogen into the weapon from the air, where it is used to
power the multiple parts of the weapon.
* A see-through protodermis covering that is at the end of the weapon, protecting any users and providing
on-screen icons, such as enemy targets, an electronic scope, and a "preferible choice" option, which can give the
user an idea of what to do in the current situation. It can also fold down when not operating.

Union Blade
Creator: Karukun: Toa of Lightning
Bio: This sword was commissioned by an
Order of Mata Nui member. The Union
Blade is a rather large sword that is made up
of a bunch of smaller one. The swords are
able to separate if the user wanted to
dual-wield some weapons, or if any team
members lost their weapons and needed a
spare. This kind of weapon is rarely used by
a Toa, considering how heavy it is (unless
they were using a Mask of Strength). Some
Ga-Metru scholars often referred to this
weapon as the symbol of the virtue of Unity.
Genesis
Creator: kyuubi
Bio: Genesis has to be possibly one of the
first weapons created by the Xians. Genesis has the same ability of a Nui-stone, but not nearly as powerful as it, it
sucks the energy of any being (Toa, Makuta, DH species, rahi, etc.) in a 2 kio radius. However, it only sucks out a
little bit of power of a being energy of a being. When Genesis sucks the energy of the beings, the energy will take
a form of blobs and form a
giant blob. When the blob is
shoot, then damage anything
in its path (What I mean is
that if a Toa were to be hit by
the energy, it would partially
hurt the Toa while severely
damaging smaller beings such
as Matoran).
When the Xians found out
what Genesis could do, they
decided to hide it from any buyers or traders; keeping it for themselves so that it could cause no damage.
However, information about Genesis was leaked to the Makuta. When the Makuta heard this, they went to Xia
to find it. They Xians said they had no such weapons, but the Makuta persuaded them to give it to them.
Genesis was used during the Dark Hunter/Makuta war. The Makuta using the weapon was killed, and Genesis
was taken by the Dark hunters. The Shadow One was given Genesis, but gave it to one of his best fighters. The
fate of Genesis as of now is unknown.
75
MPLB: Multi Purpose
Launcher and Blade
Creator: Airborne Kopaka
Bio: The MPLB (Multi
Purpose Launcher and
Blade) was developed by the
Xians after creating the
Cordak Blasters for
Hydraxon. They where in
desperate need for a weapon,
which was a good
all-rounder, cheap to
produce and reliable. This
was not that weapon.
Altough it wasn`t reliable, it
was not deadly, but realy
cheap, so cheap that even the
poorest of the Matoran could buy it. It became very popular amongst gladiators from Stelt, because of its triple
blades on one end and Stun-Rocket launcher on the other end.
It was fitted with a laser sight, although it stressed the power core too much, causing regular burn-outs. In this
case the rocket-launching part of the weapon would de-activate, or sometimes even explode. Instead, the blades
remained unharmed, and capable of penetrating the thickest of protodermis armors. The stun-rocket can affect
only one person at a time, and only for short period of time.
Energy Clubsword
Creator: Big Tuna
Bio: A thick sword of metallic protodermis which launches blasts of pure energy that envelop the target, whether
biological or not, and crushes it. The handle is removable; it's main purpose is to elongate the weapon for taller
users. You can choose to use just the sword blade, as a club (the back side of the blade), or use the energy blaster.
76
(Xian) 2-Handed Chain Blade of Gust
Creator: .:Twinkie:.
Bio: The Xian 2-Handed Chain Blade of Gust is a weapon that only the strongest of Voritxx can wield this
weapon. The reason why It's a Chain Blade is because the weapon can detach and reach longer distances and stay
chained to the Hilt/Pole. This weapon's size can hit 5 Makuta that are 5 feet away from eachother and 5 feet away
from you in one swing. 8 feet if detatched. However, due to it's size a cheaper more abundant version of
protodermis must be used to make this weapon, making it weaker. To make up for it's lack of power the Vortixx
used a rahi found in another island and added it to the weapon.
The Added Rahi can fire gusts the can blow the Toughest Makuta about 1-2 yards away. However, these Rahi are
not Native to Xia and is hard to catch. Also, when these Rahi use their spinner-like tails to generate wind they
can tired out easily and blecome useless even though their tails are also Rhokuta Spinners(But weaker than
normal level spinners.). They only use these weapons on invasions and when against an extreme amount of
Enemies.
Fencing Scimitar
Creator: Dancing Barney
Bio: The Fencing Scimitar is built
from iron and strange metal-like
black plants. If the sword hits its
target's armor it eats it. The handle is
the only part of the sword that is pure
iron, so it doesn't eat the wielder.
Being made for the quick sport of
fencing, yet also a scimitar, it is very
light but also quite strong. It rarely
actually eats the flesh, but it will if
given enough time to digest the metal
first. It is quite useful in hand-to-hand
combat. It can't destroy the weapon it
is being used against unless it is kept in a deadlock for a long enough time.
77
(Xian) Gauntlet
Creator: Meteomaniac
Bio: After traveling to a distant, very volcanic island far to the south of Xia, a lone Xian became determined to
create a weapon that fired raw magma at people. However, through years of testing (and not to mention the
careful torture of several Toa of Earth, Stone, and Fire) she realized that she could not produce raw lava itself,
but rather, an object had to be melted into lava first. Thus, the Xian Gauntlet came into being.
The gauntlet works through melting objects. The claw can pick up raw earth, stone, or metallic protodermis, and
melt it with the use of superheated air jets. When the item is sufficiently melted, the gauntlet launches the melted
material/magma at a target at high velocity.
This weapon has become a favorite of Toa of several Elements, such as Stone, Earth, and Iron, for its
compatibility with their powers. They simply have to create some material inside the barrel of the Gauntlet
where it is melted. It is also extremely difficult to kill something with.
It is not known exactly what they are made of, but most guess it to be a type of heat-resistant protodermis. How
it is made is also unknown.
78
Spear of Desolation
Creator: Ultimate_Kardas
Bio: The Spear of Desolation is able to suck a small amount of life
force (the same life force a Barraki squid would take) from the user
when they are using it. The weapon would then shoot out this life
force in the form of an energy blast. Once this energy connects with
the target it would dissipate and be restored to the user his life energy.
It would also dissipate after a certain distance traveled. The user could
also charge it up longer using more life force, but the blast would be
more powerful.
A Xian inventor first developed this weapon. He was experimenting
with the idea of Rahkshi Vorahk's staff. Unfortunately he managed to
produce this effect, but in reverse. He tried using it but, not realizing
what he had, died of the effects. Some salvagers found the weapon
and it is now lying in a Xian Armory, waiting for a new owner.
Paralysis Catapult
Creator: that guy
Bio: The Paralysis Catapult fires a two-pronged projectile that, when
it hits, paralyzes the victim for about 5 minutes. However, if they are
not hit by the very tip of the projectile, they will only be paralyzed for
a few seconds. It is mainly used by Skakdi in their constant war
because it is reliable and easy to get.
Vortixx mass-produce them and smuggle
them to Zakaz to make their profit.
79
(Xian) Pistol
Creator: -AklanBio: The Xian Pistol is one of the more Basic weapons that roll off the Xian assembly lines. The gun is portable,
useful, reliable, and inexpensive to make, making it a weapon of chioce for Armies, or even individuals who are
sweeking a good weapon. The “slugs” (as seen in the entry pic) are manufactured as perforated “rods” of six slugs
(as seen on the entry pic). Slug rods are made by taking the leaves of a certain Xian plant (which is incidentally
venomous) and grinding it into a paste. The paste is then subjected to a special treatment which involves adding
various ingredients to the paste, and solidification. It is recommended to carry at least six Slug rods when going
into battle.
To fire the gun, break off a slug from the slug rod and put it in the tire-shaped chamber on the back of the gun. A
saw inside the tire-shaped chamber (activated by cocking the pistol) saws the slug in half. The halves are then fed
through two tubes which have a double saw at the end, cutting each half into 3 pieces. After that, the sixths are
fed into the six rotating barrels at the end of the gun (one in each barrel). With each push of the trigger, one of
the sixths get shot out of a barrel, effectively giving you six shots per slug.
Seeing as the slugs are made of the leaves of a venomous plant, that means that if a shot connects, the enemy will
feel sick, which is an advantage. The Pistol does have its disadvantages, though. Its shots are not very strong, and
even a headshot has a small chance not killing the target immediately (Blood loss might kill later). It also seizes
up occasionally. Overall, though, the Xian Pistol is a pretty decent weapon. Also comes in Trans Red and Trans
Blue.

(Xian) Chainsaw
Creator: L·z Ce·o
Bio: The Xian Chainsaw,
affectionatly nicknamed "The
Ripper", is a heavy weapon
used to rip open armored
vehicles, steel doors, or any
other sort of obstacle. With
its dual-chain business end,
the direction of the chains
can be changed into any
combination.
Though only able to be used
by the strongest of soldiers,
"The Ripper" does its job;
and does it well. Powered by
solar energy taken in by the
kickback shield, it can run indefinately through the day. At night though, it is useless due to the fact that it can't
store energy. Its only major flaw is its lack of night-time use.
The Siphon Staff
Creator: Toa Talvak
Bio: Drains the energy out of a target. The
energy must be released once the staff
reaches maximum capacity or it will go into
a meltdown.

Anti-Personnel Proto-Turret
Creator: Uatona Nui
Bio: The 7M-rT Anti-Personnel Proto-Turret channels energy
from its surroundings and forms it into a solid, projectile sphere.
The Vortixx who built the turret based it on blueprints which she
insists came from the island of Artakha. Regardless her farfetched
claim, the turret proved to be sturdy, powerful, and highly durable.
The head of the turret is detachable and has bayonet-like blades
incase of close combat. It folds up for relatively easy
storage/transportation. The "7M-rT" comes from numbers
scratched onto the side of the blueprint tablet. So far only the Dark
Hunters have shown interest in these, and mainly because of the
blades.
(Xian) Laser Sniper
Creator: Vaka-Nui
Bio: A weapon that came from the forges of Xia, the XLS (Xian Laser Sniper) was made mainly to sell to the
Dark Hunters, as they wanted more efficent weapons. The XLS doesn't shoot as far away as most snipers, but it is
much more lethal. It is also smaller and can be used as a scattergun.
The way
this weapon
works is
that all three
of it's silver
tubes acts as
solar panels,
using the
sun as
energy to
fire it's
powerful
lasers. This means the wielder does not have to reload ammo. However, it is vulnerable to overheating and

Rahkshi Shadow Staff
Creator: jallerthebountyhunter
Bio: The Rahkshi Shadow Staffs are battle staffs desinged to give the user one of the
powers the Rahkshi wield. A few millneia ago, a Vortixx weapon designer discovered
that when the armor of a Rahkshi with a Kraata are melted down, the weapon
produduced from the concoction will grant the wielder the power that the Rahkshi
possessed.
The Vortixx started to produce the weapons in staff form. The staffs grant any being
that touches one the power that that staff holds. If the user lets go of the staff, they lose
its power. The user activates the staff mentally. As the Vortixx learned (the hard way), it
takes a strong willed being to control the staffs. If they aren’t strong enough, they’ll lose
control of the power.
The Rahkshi Shadow Staffs are some of the most powerful and dangerous weapons to
come out of the forges of Xia. Whoever wields one is truly a force to be reckoned with.
Condensed Antidermis Zamorlauncher, "Antidermis Bomberarm"
Creator: JJKC23 (Mectar)
Bio: The Condensed Antidermis Zamorlauncher (CAZ), also known as “Antidermis
Bomberarm”, is a weapon used by Dark Hunters and the Brotherhood of Makuta. This weapon is most often
used by those in need of a new mechanical arm in place of a lost one, however most who request this will need
brute strength to carry it. All CAZs have 3 of what appears to be a normal zamor sphere, but is actually a
concentration of antidermis condensed 10x its original size in a shell.
This “zamor bomb” also brakes in a similar
way to the zamor sphere, except when the shell
brakes, it releases what could be described as a
“mini tsunami of antidermis”, on average
covering 15ft. in all directions. It also has a
single kanoka disk launcher on the side with
two Le-Metru kanoka disks used for accuracy.
Dark Hunters use it with the same objectives as
the Piraka: to brainwash Matoran and various
rahi. The Makuta use CAZs not only for this,
but for another use they have come up with,
too.
Since the Makuta are virtually antidermis, they
would be able to use the “zamor bombs” to
contain them while another Makuta launches
83
them onto a body in which the Makuta’s essence would be able to take control. However, this will most likely not
be done frequently since the Makuta in the “zamor bomb” would have to put all his/her trust into the Makuta
launching him, as he/she can accidentally miss. In the set form, the user can vertically flip the CAZ to make it
appear as a gun.
CyberHand
Creator: MAXILOS.BOLSO
Bio: This weapon was invented on
Xia before the Great Cataclysm by a
Vortixx as personal weapon. Other
Vortixx, seeing that it was very
effective, started to mass produce the
CyberHands. By unknown reasons,
only a few were exported. Now, they
are very old and outdated but some
Vortixx continue carrying them.
The CyberHand is a small weapon that is connected to the arm. It·´s light weight, so it can be carried easily. It·´s
made with metallic and energized protodermis. It has two wrist cannons mounted on it that cause a paralysis
effect in contact with a being. The wrist cannons can rotate, leaving two little blades ready to attack. These blades
are often used by Vortixx to make the daily work. The wrist blades are made of a 75% metallic protodermis, 20%
energized protermis and 5% protosteel. Given the small size of the blades, the protosteel required is minimal, so
the vortixx can get it.
Arcane Scythe
Creator: Omni Link
Bio:
Although intended to be used for physical damage, in the right
hands, it does much more.
This Xian weapon project started when a mysterious request was
sent for a weapon that could render a toa weak with one blast...
The project failed.
This scythe was the prototype of the intentional project. This
scythe is arcane, meaning not much is known about it. Rumors
have been spread around that it does what it was intended to.
others say that it's for show.
No one knows the complete truth.

(Xian) Proto Staff
Creator: -DefletazavakBio: Crafted in Xia before
the Great Cataclysm, the
Xian Proto Staff was
created for melee combat. It
is equipped with a blaster
capable of firing energy
that can temporarily stun
an opponent.
The energy can either be
shot by the blaster itself or
the energy can travel
through the staff and out
the end. The ends of the
staff has claws that can
capture Rhotuka spinners,
much like Roodaka's catcher claws. Mostly large beings carry this type of weapon. Is is really hard to come by as
it was rarely made.
The Jade Blade
Creator: Ranika Nui
Bio: The Jade Blade is like any other tool, and can be used by a Toa
or Makuta to channel their elemental powers. But ..... it has the
power to absorb an attack and release it out in it's opposite form.
(e.g. A blast of fire can be turned into a blast of water, with same
strength as the attack.) It currently is in the island of Daxia.
Reflecting Blade
Creator: chiroxguy91
Bio: The reflecting blade is a lightweight sword that reacts to the weilders thoughts and can move with the
owners will, reflecting back any blow that strikes it, but doesn't reflect elemental blasts.

Trident of Tridax
Creator: Phantom Rider
Bio: The Trident of Tridax is a powerful weapon capable of firing blasts of pure energy and plasma. It was
created by a master weapon crafter on the island of Xia. This weapon has a special ability which can absorb
almost any type of energy and fire it in a powerful blast, but everytime this attack is used, the ability becomes
weaker until it charges up again. This weapon is very powerful; however, it has a downside, for it is quite heavy
and hard to maneuver.
X-385 Heat Ray
Creator: Dagon
Excelstraun
Bio: This hand gun
fires a ray of pure heat
energy, making it near
impossible to dodge
(pure heat = no light).
When the trigger is
pulled, the orange ball
in the back draws in
enough heat from it's
surroungings to melt
through a block of
protosteel
one-hundredth of a bio thick in about ten seconds. The heat flows from the ball through internal heating coils to
the condenser lens, then out of the barrel in a concentrated beam about one-tenth of a bio in diameter.
This process keeps going on until the trigger is released. As the trigger is held down, though, the air around the
condensing ball is cooled down significantly, and the field of cold grows the longer the trigger held down. When
the trigger is released, the air returns back to normal at a rate of one second for every square inch cooled.
86
Multi-Shot Elemental Bolter
Creator: X-Ignika-X
Bio: This weapon is used to channel powers and
rapidly fire bolts of it at a target. The two spikes rotate
in a clockwise direction at opposite ends which gives
it more rapid fire abilities. It was designed by the
Vortixx for a scheme they had but it was stolen and
given to the Dark Hunters by Roodaka. Since then, it
hasn't been used much and is in the DH base.
Kio Staff
Creator: Zorrakh
Bio: Ever since The Shadowed One ordered the destruction of many Brotherhood vessals
transporting goods, the Brotherhood's scientists have been experimenting with Kanoka
Teleportation disks smuggled out of Metru Nui, attempting to create a tool that would be
able to transport large amounts of materials to Destral. Now that Chirox and Mutran
have left Destral, along with their arrogance and contempt for each other, their assistants
finally have met together and "compared notes", and the result was the Kio Staff.
The Kio Staff first attaches two tubes onto the hand of the user when picked up so that
energy can be used for the staff to operate. Almost any object can be teleported within a
radius of ten kio from the staff; the larger the object and the farther it travels requires
more energy. The staff fires a liquified state of the Teleportation Kanoka disks at a
desired target, the liquid being stored inside the part that connects the tubes to the
blades. A second shot is fired from the staff, the beam containing the information on
where in the ten kio radius the object will travel, provided by the user.
While it is possible to combine the two shots into one, only Makuta have been able to
access this feature. The plans are being transported to Xia for mass production, via the
original staff, which when activated, can teleport the target in a radius of twenty-five kio.
The Brotherhood does not want any being besides those loyal to the Makuta for them to
get their hands on the original staff, and so the teleportation radius is reduced to ten kio.
Aside from transporting raw materials and waepons to Destral or other locations, and also to be used to teleport
captured Dark Hunters so that they aren't eleminated by the Dark Hunter codenamed "Guardian" and then
questioned by the Brotherhood, it is the hope of the Brotherhood that trained Rahkshi will wield these staffs in
order to transport themselves into Dark Hunter bases and cause chaos, allowing the troops outside to cut down
defences more easily.

The Xian Thunder Mace
Creator: ···-Musical SSML-···
Bio: The Thunder mace is made from the hardest kind of iron. The weapon itself
weighs so much that the user must have a Pakari or great strength to use it. It's so
powerful that it can summon and control up to 1,000 fireflyer sized insects.
Plasma Turret
Creator: Tarenka spirit of fire
Bio: It is a plasma cannon used by the
dark hunters to guard their base. In the
body of the gun there is a Kanoka disk of
plasma that serves as ammo. it fires
about twenty shots a second. Every 5 seconds it stops for 2 seconds to cool off. this said, it shoots 100 shots
before stopping. if aimed at one person then they have little chance of coming free without injuries unless they
were able to fly. this is because the only direction it cannot shoot is straight up. in its base there is another
Kanoka disk of levitation which makes it hover about a foot off the ground. this way it can rotate in any
direction without having a grounded base.it was made for the dark hunters about a thousand years ago and has
been a major part of their defences ever since.
Scorpion Retaliation Rifle
Creator: Duckenquacker
Bio: The story of the Scorpion Retaliation Rifle began with a ko Matoran crafter on Nynrah named Kanae. He
was an odd matoran, and was shunned by other ghosts for his strange behavior and abstract ideas. After many
years of being mistreated, he decided to leave. In his travels, a close encounter with a nui jaga inspired him to
create a weapon based on the creature’s unique structure.
It later became known as the Scorpion Retaliation Rifle (SRR). Still feeling sore about being treated badly on
Nynrah, he decided to take his invention to Xia. The weapon became a huge success among toa as a low cost, low
energy, non-lethal weapon. Later, in his journeys as a toa with Lhikan’s team, he carried a customized SRR that
could channel his ice powers without damaging the internal mechanism of the rifle. After he died, the Vortixx
continued to mass produce the SRR and also created a second, more lethal version with a larger energy source at
a request from the dark hunters. The SRR continues to be sold to Toa and dark hunters, as well as some OoMN
members as well.
88
The Scorpion Retaliation Rifle is really built as a defensive weapon, but to be completely defensive would be
impractical, so the pincer and sword-like blades on the legs were adapted to be powered by a small internal
energy source. Due to the size of the source, those parts can only fire small bolts of energy, just enough to stun a
toa-sized being. The real power comes from enemy shots. The tail emits invisible waves that “catch” enemy
blasts, and they come in two types: the first wave sends out radioactive shocks that drain the shot of all its energy
and send it back to the rifle. This radioactive blast works on any kind of projectile, be it a Cordak shot or an ice
beam, or even a shadow bolt from a makuta. The second wave (placed behind the first one) is only useful if the
projectile has mass; it unleashes a seismic shock that blows apart any kind of matter. The matter being destroyed
goes outward, so it doesn’t harm the user. The waves are transmitted in a semicircle so that it doesn’t destroy the
rest of the gun.
(Xian) Pulser Gauntlet
Creator: zamas
Bio: The X.P.G (Xian Pulser Gauntlet) is a Mentally Controled
Gauntlet that is controlled by a built-in "Mental Command" Kanoka, and can fuse with another piece of
technology, making it stronger, but does not change it's form(EXP: If is fuses with a Cordak, instead of firing
elemental energy it fires Cordak coated in elemental energy) .Being a fusion of a Melee and Launcher ,it can
89
simultaneously, switch between the two forms. As a launcher, it fires a combination of
the users Elemental, Toa or natural energy. The form this energy takes depends on the
amount and type of energy of the wearer has, and the technology fused to it. In its
melee form it has two sub-forms one for smaller wearers (ideally Matoran) or bigger
wearers (ideally Toa or beings as or bigger than Brutaka).
The only differences between the forms are, the mass, weight and the claw size. Also as
a second source of ammunition, the cannon has two ammunition containers that can
hold and fire
mini-Zamors, should
the user extinguish their energy reserves.The
Gauntlet is also able to be modified, it contains
crystals that the user can store there energies in
beforehand. It can hold energy up to Nova
Blast levels, there are two contained with in the
structure of the gauntlet.
War Arm
Creator: Captain Tigs
Bio: This weapon is a war arm that can be worn over any regular arm, and attatched by laches on the bottom.
What it does: There's a few
things on this arm that makes it
special, those include:
Two Cordak blasters
Increases strength
Razor sharp claws for fingers
3M-Duo
Creator: Toa Zaxvo
Bio: The 2M-Duo was created
on
Xia, and once all the bugs were fixed, and it was ready to go into production, the original blueprints were stolen
and all the copies destroyed. It has three different types of Amo, thus the 3M-Duo. It has a laser sight set just
above and behind the barrel. It is suspected that the thief has disabled one of these modes, but these are just
rumors: no one knows if they are true or not, except for the theif. It can shoot knockout darts, which are black
darts with a trans-blue tip, a laser beam (or two) and cordak bullets. Even with no amo loaded, one can tell
which mode it is in by the color of the crystal behind the laser sight. If the crystal is black, it will shoot knockout
darts. If the crystal is a trans-red, it will shoot laser, and if the crystal is dark red, it will shoot cordaks.
90
Please Note: The picture in
the lower right corner was
added by the theif. It is also
unkown who the Toa is: it
could be the theif or it
could be someone else.
(Destral) Aerial
Automated
Bombing Device
((D)AABD)
Creator: ~Konta~
Bio:
These weapons were
commissioned by the
BOM for the BOM/DH
war. It will bomb any
coordinate entered into it's memory bank, somewhat like a GPS. But instead of destroying it's target, it corrupts
it with shadow leeches. Included
in it's system is stealth
technology based off of the mask
of stealth. It can "decide" when to
activate this technology via it's
camera "eye".
Unfortunately, it has a weak
sense of moving obstacles. For
example, if it were spotted from
below and shot at, it wouldn't
even attempt to evade. It cannot
tell a missile from a drop of rain.
These weapons are becoming
more and more obsolete for
battle, considering it can easily
be replaced by a Makuta wearing
a mask of stealth. Recently, the
DAABD's are used as recon
devices, and the occasional blitz.
91
The Staff of Lassitude
Creator: What?
Bio: The Staff of Lassitude was invented by a male Vortixx who had realized the importance of willpower and
determination in
a battle. After all,
enemies who are
totally apathetic
require no
subduing; they
are no longer
enemies, since
they could not
care less about
possible enemies
or allies, after
their willpower
had been
absorbed by the
weapon. The staff
drains the
willpower from
the its target,
channeling it back
to the wielder of
the weapon. It is
extremely useful
in combat
situations, since
draining a foe's
determination
also makes that
enemy entirely
indifferent to
victory or defeat,
and eliminates its
desire for either.
Its only negatives
are that it works
briefly, and at
very close range.
Since it is not designed for such physical close-quarters combat, it is best used in surprise attacks or ambushes.
But its user must beware: If the staff's target has too much willpower, the flow of will can change, draining the
wielder's will into the former target.

Nui Slizer
Creator: Zarayna Toa Iden of Sonics
Bio: This thing is like a massive sword, it has a electro-rocket
attached the red blades fire heat-rays plus it has two shadow
Midak.
(Xian) Siege Armament
Creator: Toa Azron
Bio:
History
This weapon was first sold to the League of Six
Kingdoms over eighty thousand years ago, when
Pridak was looking for a multi-functional weapon to
help besiege resilient islands and villages. Thus, the
Vortixx invented the Xian Siege Armament- a
three-in-one weapon perfect for long and short range
combat. After the League’s fall to the Brotherhood of
Makuta, productivity of the Armament decreased for
many millennia.
However, once several wars began in a short time
period about three millennia ago, many more islands
began purchasing the Armament for defensive
purposes to respond to the increasing destruction.
With the Great Cataclysm and the Dark Hunter-Brotherhood of Makuta War soon after, Matoran settlements
across the universe nearly drained the supplies for the Armament.
Metru Nui was the exception before its fall to Visorak, with
Turaga Dume not wanting a city of vigilantes. Other islands,
such as Stelt and Zakaz, invested in them as well, preferring
to carry the weapon as an offensive tool rather than using it
for sieges or defense. Xia kept many Armaments on their
own island and are now using them against the Tahtorak
and the Kanohi Dragon, but is of little use against such
massive beasts.
Features
In essence, the Xian Siege Armament is three weapons in one. The powerful cannon in front is for long range
purposes, filling the needs of an attacking army’s artillery in a short battle or a long-term siege, or for defensive
purposes, mowing down attackers charging a fortress. The bayonets on the front of the Armament are useful to
slow invading attackers, help hold defensive lines, and can be taken off the armament and used as broadswords.
93
Finally, the Armament can be flipped up-side
down, and the legs can be used as Kanoka
launchers (This was a failed bid trying to get
Turaga Dume to accept the weapon.) In addition,
larger beings such as Toa, Skakdi, or Vortixx, can
lift the Armament and use it as a two-handed
cannon. Matoran prefer to use it strictly for large
battles and sieges.
C.I.A.T: Cordak Insectoid Attack
Turret
Creator: The Alchemyst
Bio: The C.I.A.T. is a Xian weapon forged
around 30,000 years ago after some type turret
defense was requested for a part of the Southern
Continent. What was created was the C.I.A.T,
the Cordak Insectoid Attack Turret; a
mechanical
weapon that
can change
from a strong
stationary
turret mode to
a mobile
weaker one.
The Siege
Mode has dual
fuel tanks and
a Cordak
Launcher
attached to a
tail. The extra
fuel tanks and
the
corresponding
weight makes
the C.I.A.T.
virtually
stationary, but
adds much more firepower. The Compact Mode only has one Cordak Launcher on its underside and the other
one stored in the back, but can move much quicker. These have been used as stationary defense turrets in many
94
places with Siege Mode. They will stay put and fire when an enemy is detected. Its armor is strong, but cannot
stay up to many attacks. It has no thought or AI, just a optical detectors to search for enemies and either move
toward them or fire at them.
The Heavily Bladed Gauntlet
Creator: Lego_Cyclone
Bio: The Xian's
sharpest weapon ever,
it was held by tongs
while being made,
because it kept denting
everyone's armor
badly.
Elemental Mace
Creator: BOMASSASSIN
Bio: It was created by a Master Forger
Vortixx. If the wielder is a Makuta or
controls the power of shadow, bolts of
shadow can fly from the black spikes of
this weapon at the user's will. If the user
is extremely powerful and skilled it can
be used to control all the known
elements. The power the weapon is
determined by what the users element is
(if the user has no element, the Mace has
no power. If the user is a Master of Fire,
white silver flames can shoot out of the handle at the user's will.) The weapons power level depends on the
physical and mental power of the user.
Example: if a Skadi or Toa used it, it spower would be moderate. If a if Makuta or Nocturn or Mata Nui used it, it
would be VERY powerful. the shadow bolts and flames always stay the same though.
Viral Inoculator
Creator: Shadow Rahkshi
Bio: It was when Makuta Kojol visited Xia that the idea of a weapon capable of firing Makuta viruses was born.
The Brotherhood of Makuta was very exited with the concept, and gladly brought their armor-eating virus to the
grimy Xian shores. But the Order of Mata Nui had other plans; Kojol, having led the assault on Artahka and
knowing the island's location, was assassinated in a cleverly "accidental" way. The Brotherhood of Makuta, not
knowing of the Order's existence, blamed the Vortixx for his death and it would not be for many thousands of
years later that the Virus weapon project would ever come up again. Then, about a year ago, the Vortixx were in
95
the developmental stages of creating a launching device designed to contain microscopic organisms such as
protodites. The Brotherhood, realizing that the weapon could be adapted to hold viruses as well, bought every
single one while they were still in their prototype stage. They began to tamper with the weapons, creating organic
components and adapting the weapon to grow its own viruses. The final product is a sinister and terrifying
device, looking more like some twisted, predatory Rahi than a handheld weapon.
Due to the tampering done by the Brotherhood of Makuta, the Viral Inoculator is covered with organic growths.
The most prominent are the two chemoreceptive tentacles that taste the air for potential enemies. Inside of the
barrel's maw there is a dart-like projectile, with an injector proboscis at the tip and a large, organic pod at the
back. The pod contains a fluid filled with viruses that it pumps in once the proboscis tip has punctured the
target. The weapon grows the projectiles and their viruses itself.
One particular aspect of the Viral Inoculator, conceived by the Vortixx and further amplified by the Makuta, is
its ability to integrate with the user's mind. This allows the weapon to produce what type of virus based on the
user's thoughts and emotions. It also lets the chemoreceptive tentacles to act as an extension of the user's normal
senses. The problem with this is that it takes around a week for the user and weapon to become one.
96
Honorable Mention
[This weapon was withdrawn by the enterer due to conflicts with its name and the rules for sticking to official
storyline, rather than change the name. Now there is no reason it cannot be in this guide and the enterer has
agreed, since the EM does not stick to official story.]
Balberith
Creator: Czar
Bio: Balberith, or staff of searing flame is one of the most powerful Xian weapons ever created. It has the power
to purify areas of the smoggy Xian air for a limited time. It also has some destructive power with its pillars of
flame. Only the most experienced inhabitants of Xia are able to use the staff.
