Function and Purpose#

The shields operated on two levels. In combat, Fire Shields could burn through almost any barrier, forcing defenders to retreat or abandon fortifications entirely. Defensively, they created a perimeter of heat that few enemies wanted to breach. But the weapons' deeper purpose aligned with the BohrokBohrokHive-minded mechanical creatures designed to reshape worlds, the Bohrok represent a threat the Toa Mata never expected.'s mission of cleansing. Fire Shields could erase both living protodermis and constructed defenses with equal efficiency, reducing Mata NuiMata Nui (Location)An island created by accident on the Great Spirit's face, home to the Matoran for a thousand years.'s infrastructure to ash.
