The Piraka turned the launchers to enslavement. Zaktan filled a Zamor sphere with antidermis and tested Avak's launcher on a Ta-Matoran named Dezalk, which left him completely loyal to the Piraka. Equipped with launchers and spheres, the Piraka used an assembly to bring the island's Matoran under their control. To extend their reach, several Lava Crawlers were modified into Caravan Crawlers, each carrying a Zamor Launcher, though their shells had to be partly cut away to mount the weapons.
