Line 32:
** The original six Toa were introduced as borderline-mythical, ultra-powerful warriors. ''The'' Toa. When the Seventh Toa appeared, it was some truly major thing that heavily affected the plot. Then came the revelation at the beginning of the Metru Nui saga: "You are not the first Toa!" During that arc, one scene had a total of ''300'' Toa appearing at once. Since then, Toa have became as "standard" as the Jedi in their respective universe, and the original six had to be re-branded as Toa Mata.
** Likewise, [[Big Bad|the Makuta]], nowadays known as Teridax. The most mysterious and powerful, nearly untouchable evil might, the Master of Shadows and the ultimate foe the Toa have to face. [[Subversion]]: no, he's just one of the original 100 Makuta. [[Double Subversion]]: Makuta in general and Teridax in specific is still a tough bastard to beat, and what he lost in novelty, he makes up for with his schemes. But Makuta, as a species, are nothing special now.
** Silver colored pieces. To a lesser degree, also gold. When the Toa [[Mid-Season Upgrade|upgraded]] into Toa Nuva, they received silver armor and weapons to reflect that they're "more" than mere Toa. The Bohrok-Kal came along, sporting silver as their secondary color to showcase their eliteness compared to regular Bohrok. After these, silver parts became a standard for absolutely every character, and colored weapons became such a rarity in fact, that when the 2009 first wave sets re-introduced element-specific colorings, [[And the Fandom Rejoiced|there was much happiness]]... that lasted 'till the second wave, which went back to giving silver weapons to about half its sets.
