'I think Mask of Light is the exact opposite of a trans allegory. Takua became Takanuva by finally accepting his Duty and Destiny. Nidhiki's back story and Web of Shadows are closer to actual "trans allegories" imo. Vakama and Nidhiki chose to run away from their Destinies and give in to their mental illnesses, though Vakama could still be saved. Nidhiki on the other hand was beyond help, even as a dark hunter he still tried to run away, which made things even worse. His permanent mutation was his "transition", then he finally got devoured by Makuta the deceiver himself.';

'>>10987776
Takua was meant to serve as a self-insert for the target audience (kids) to imagine themselves living in the Bionicle universe and becoming a Toa. That's why the Miramax film focused more on the Matoran instead of the Toa, and why they sounded and acted like kids. If Takanuva is an allegory for anything, it's about growing up and becoming a man. The closest real-world equivalent to Takua's physical change is puberty, something that trannies advocate for taking pills to prevent.';

For canister sets, the Piraka, Toa Mahri, Barraki, and 2008 Phantoka Makuta. For large/titan sets, Pewku and Gukko are both good if you like animal sets. Pretty much any of the "titan" sets from 2006 and 2007 are peak too. Most of the bigger sets will have you paying 4-5 times MSRP though, so you might wanna start with canister sets.

The former actually look like something even if they're still ugly as shit, but aren't compatible with either axle or stud masks, whereas the Av-Matoran shit sculptures barely look like a face, are retarded, and are way too long for no good reason, but can at least take 2003b-onward masks.';

Option 1: Risk of Rain. Two waves of humanoid sets based on the Survivors and tons of options for small sets based on the small enemies. Titan sets could be the bosses, Aurelionite, Mithrix, and Providence.

Option 2: Monster Hunter. Each toa-scale set can be a hunter with a different weapon, 14+ weapons makes for two waves of 6 w/ a special edition each wave. Small monsters make for small sets. The large monsters are obviously the rahi/titan-scale sets. Rathalos gets to be the Target-exclusive.';
