So I was rewatching the Mirimax Bionicle movies, and I thought about Vakama’s comment about how their destiny required that Keetongu change the Toa Hordika back into their Metru forms. Obviously from a production standpoint it was because they already showed them as Toa Metru reawakening the Matoran at the end of Legends of Metru Nui, and the Hordika designs hadn’t been finalized by the time that movie had been animated and recorded.
But is there anything in the lore that ever stated they couldn’t have reawakened the Matoran as Toa Hordika and just became Turaga Hordika? There are AUs where we see Turaga and Matoran Hordika, and canonically other mutated Toa Hordika exist in universe (see the Dark Hunter “Savage”). The only possible in universe explanation I can come up with is that the Hordika venom altered their biology in a way that such a feat would be impossible. Sort of like how the masks fused to their faces and their animalistic rage prevented them from using Kanohi powers. Did Greg ever answer this question one way or the other?
