>>5442838I've seen a lot of people thinking it will be more than four episodes, but when they say 4 episodes, it's pretty clear they mean 4 episodes. 22 minutes is a long time, substantially longer than the entire summer wave of animations, if you consider how much time even in that small amount of time was wasted on little bits of recap (since it was split into many episodes and they needed them to work as a standalone), you end up being able to pack a huge amount of content into 22 minutes, and since the summer wave is probably going to literally just be "Umarak got big so the Toa go beat him and beat some random mooks with big heads along the way", there is no reason they would need to make a whole second season for the summer wave.
>>5442897I encountered a similar problem when modifying the MMvSG + Scorpio combiner to make a more substantial Kulta, my solution was to throw some friction extenders on the lower arms.
