Toa Metru (Earth-4001)

The Toa Metru were a team of Toa who rescued the Matoran of Metru Nui after the Great Cataclysm. They were mutated into Hordika for a brief period but were later cured by Keetongu. They used their Toa Power to awaken the Matoran and became Turaga in the process.

History
The history of the Toa Metru is the same as their mainstream counterparts.

Equipment
The armor of the Toa Metru was similar to Lhikan's own because, as with all destined Matoran who became Toa, they believed that Lhikan was how all Toa looked, and so they gained similar forms. After their transformation they also took Toa Tools out of the Suva in the Great Temple.
 * Vakama chose a Disk Launcher which could also be used as a jetpack and wore a Great Huna.
 * Nokama chose two Hydro Blades and wore a Great Rau.
 * Matau chose two Aero Slicers and wore a Great Mahiki.
 * Nuju chose two Crystal Spikes and wore a Great Matatu.
 * Onewa chose two Proto Pitons and wore a Great Komau.
 * Whenua chose two Earthshock Drills and wore a Great Ruru.

As Hordika, their masks became fused to their faces and they lost the ability to access their mask powers. However, they received natural Rhotuka launchers and new organic tools, which could charge up said Rhotuka. The power of a fully charged Hordika spinner was on par with a Toa Nova Blast.
 * Vakama received Blazer Claws.
 * Nokama received Fin Barbs.
 * Matau received Fang Blades.
 * Nuju received Hordika Teeth.
 * Onewa received Claw Clubs.
 * Whenua received Thumpers.

Trivia

 * While all other Toa teams featured as the main characters of story arcs were all transformed and given new masks, the Toa Metru never did (however, they did receive new molds for their old masks). Ironically, they would lose their existing mask powers rather than gain new ones.
 * The Toa Hordika were the first series to have a completely asymmetrical body structure.
 * The Matoran "destined" to be Toa Metru wore the same masks as the Turaga variants of the Metru.
 * The Toa Hordika could still have given up their Toa Power if they had achieved their destiny as Toa Hordika. Had they done this, they would have become Turaga Hordika.
