But G2 did have a lot more stuff planned out, especially based on some of the stuff in the Artbook. Like some really interesting villains, and the idea that, somehow, the Toa would end up having to protect small, tribal humanoids. Or maybe they were actually being humans, or some form of humanity, at least?
