Bravado and Reality#

Comic 12: Absolute Power captures PahrakPahrakStone-aligned Bohrok swarm units that forced the Toa Mata to realize they couldn't win through isolated victories.-Kal's character in a moment of absolute confidence, where it asserts its identity as PahrakPahrakStone-aligned Bohrok swarm units that forced the Toa Mata to realize they couldn't win through isolated victories.-Kal and declares that it will contain its power and cannot be defeated. It's the kind of absolute confidence you'd expect from something forged as a superior BohrokBohrokHive-minded mechanical creatures designed to reshape worlds, the Bohrok represent a threat the Toa Mata never expected.. The cruel irony is that PahrakPahrakStone-aligned Bohrok swarm units that forced the Toa Mata to realize they couldn't win through isolated victories.-Kal was right about being powerful. It just wasn't right about being invincible.
