I think the problem with the Hordika is that they apparently have been changed to a more "beastly" form, yet they didn't think to base each Toa's new form off a beast like how they based the Barraki off aquatic creatures.
>>8760208>I don't mind the mutated toa concept, I just think it was executed badlycan't help but agree even with the help of the movie allowing us to see them in action.
I wonder if they hadn't already tapped the mutated good guy theme with Hordika, if we would've seen it with the Toa Mahri to complement the Barraki.
>>8760206>I think the lack of masks hurts them as a parts-pack tooProbably the worst aspect of the Hordika imo, I understand re-using the body but the Masks are supposed to be the obvious thing that differentiates the Toa and seeing essentially the exact same torsos + head means the only thing unique on the Hordika are the weapons.
I really do like the concept but it was wasted on these designs.
>I don't think a Barraki-esq design for them would really help all that much. They're supposed to be the heroes of the story so givings them strange spindly technic-beam bodies would have just been even worse received.The designs would have to be toned down for sure, but I'm confident the Hordika would've benefitted from using the same thinking that gave us the Barraki.
