They're ranged weapons first, but fold down and attach to his feet to become Jetarangs, transforming him into a desert-crossing speed demon. The Stormerangs feel less like a compromise and more like PohatuPohatuPohatu was the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva of Stone, guardian of Po-Wahi, whose speed and steady humour anchored the team through every era of the Matoran Universe.'s actual fighting style: strike from distance, then switch modes and move fast.

The Dual Design#

The Stormerangs are a straightforward concept: boomerang-shaped ranged weapons with a second mode. Fold them down and attach them to PohatuPohatuPohatu was the Toa Mata and Toa Nuva of Stone, guardian of Po-Wahi, whose speed and steady humour anchored the team through every era of the Matoran Universe.'s feet, and they become Jetarangs, granting him the mobility he needs to cross desert terrain faster than he could on foot alone.

The Jetarang mode is where they get interesting, because the same object serves two completely different combat roles in sequence. Strike, switch, move.

The speed boost the Jetarangs provide makes sense thematically too.

The Jetarangs bridge that gap, letting him exploit his physical advantages across open ground.
